Whistlers Riding

'At the heart of Crankworx is the #1 rated mountain bike park on the planet, an immense rider-designed playground that has changed the face of riding and transformed Whistler into the epicentre of the sport.'

'The sport of mountain biking has grown significantly in the past five years, and the Whistler Mountain Bike Park has been key to the evolution of the sport'

Check out what the press has had to say about Whistler and Bear Back Biking right here.

Downhill

For years Whistler's bike park has been the talk of the freeride community, a truly cutting edge facility that encompasses all things bike. 
For those of you with an aversion to pedaling, this is what riding in Whistler is all about.

Two express chairlifts whip you and your bike up to start what can only be described as an adrenaline fuelled blast.

Over 200kms of trail are served by the chairs. These trails range from training runs for novice riders through high speed cruisers, technical descending all the way up to 'balls in your mouth' stupidity!

New trails are constantly being built to take the park to yet another level. Expect A-Line style riding from top to bottom, twists, turns, gaps, drops, step-ups...it goes on!

We'll assess your level and have a chat with you about what you want to ride and what you dont want to ride.
This way we can ensure that you get the most out of your time on the mountain.
We'll suggest the trails and lines that suit you, and nothing that you are not comfortable with.

 

Cross Country

The cross country riding in Whistler Valley is simply unparalleled.
You can simply pop out for an hour or two and ride anything from super smooth flowing singletrack, technical North Shore style stunts, charge or cruise around the myriad of trails in Lost Lake, or earn a variety of long descents after putting in the grunt work and climbing up any of the surrounding mountains.

You can also make a day of it buy riding such epics as Comfortably numb, the Soo valley loop or by adding any number of shorter rides together.
Lucky for you - we've ridden them all and are more than happy to show you the way!

For the more hardcore or motivated uphill guys, there are a number of races throughout the summer that you can paricipate in. The Test of Metal, BC Bike race, GearJammer, 24 Hours of Adrenaline, Cheakeamus Challenge, 4 Jacks race, West side Wheel-Up and not to forget the WORCA weekly Loonie race series every Thursday night (including post race food and beer! )

 

Freeride

The freeride scene in Whistler is enormous and rapidly growing.
The Whistler bike park is a cutting edge facility gearer up towards the development of the dicipline.
There is a feature for everybody that enables the development of the skills needed for this riding style.
You’ll be rubbing shoulders with the top pros almost all year long in the lift lines.

The Boneyard is the freeride playground. Take a look at the crankworx video and see what they build each summer.
Huge boxes, Gaps, biker cross, dual slalom, huge tabletops, rhythms, 1/4 pipe, seesaws.....

So, a quick chairlift ride up to midstation, a buzz down A-Line or Dirt Merchant to get the juices flowing and you're at the top of the Boneyard. Unlimited lines through the feature packed damage zone await - express yourself!

Freeride on the park, or in the Valley... your choice.

We can take you to the natural terrain freeriding areas, some of which may require a bit of grunt work as the trail heads aren't accessible any other way.
Industrial Disease, Foreplay, Anal Intruder, Shit Happens, Kill Me Thrill Me etc.

Or how about some of the more flamboyant man made trails like River Runs Through It. Whistlers original signature trail. Vast number of bridges, ladders, log rides, see-saws, wooden structures etc. Great fun for hours, or a perfect evening playground!
