Chasing Pro MTBers Blake Samson & Brendan Fairclough Down Whistler Bike Park!

Okay, so this is the last video from the Whistler series. If you haven't seen the three previous videos, well, watch those after you're done watching this because they're equally as good. If you remember the last video, I was riding with Wynn Masters from the top of Garbanzo. Well, we're picking up that same day, but later in the afternoon, and we're going to start off this video by doing a lap with Blake Sampson, of course, from GMBN. Your bike's feeling a little sad after this week? This place trashes them. I'm feeling much better now than like the first time I rode with you. Oh man, that was the first lap of the day. Wall ride to rock, yeah. That landing's seen better days. You good? Hey, what's up guys? How you doing man? What are you guys looking for? I don't know, just options, seeing what we're going to do. Sometimes you get like an endless loop of doing the same trail over and over and over. Dirt merchant, low airline. Yep, D1. Oh my god, I can't believe you rode out of that. Oh my god. That was flat. That was too flat. I was like, oh, I think I should brake. Nah. I pulled off it. Yeah, I was watching like, oh, maybe he saw landing that I did it. What's up guys? Oh, that's horrible. Oh, okay. Oh, this is fresh. Oh god. Whoa, this trail switches gear really quickly. Whoa. Oh god. My hands don't like it. I've broken my hands twice from clipping a tree. Really? Yeah. So like anytime I go through tight sections, I get scared. And 300 PSI. Which is like the max. Max, yeah. You're back. I am. I didn't think you were making it out here for some reason. Well, I came back. How did DWS go? It was terrible, horrendous. That looked painful. Yeah. No, it sucks. So you did ARDH, right? On the tandem, yeah. Yeah. Oh, right. You make it down? Yeah. Did he land in the landing, Phil? I can't promise that. He hasn't been touching the landings. And I, as a result, haven't been touching many either. No, I'm cool falling. A lot less grip compared to last time I was here. Very well. I'm tired. The week at Whistler catches up to you. Yeah, I had to set up like clear goggles and some kid just like walked off with them. I don't know if he confused them for his own or... He's going to sell them on eBay. Oh yeah, much more quieter now. Whoa, that berm's gone destroyed. This is a wee bit dusty. Yeah, hard part of the trail. Why am I upside down? There we go. So after I did a lap with my buddy Nick from VanCan, I ended up taking a break and then on my way back to the lift, I met up with Ben Deacon, who I rode with on my first day of the trip. As you remember, he was riding with a group of... He was riding with a group of heavy hitters and that's still the case. So as you imagine, this next clip is going to get a little wild. All right, let's go back upside down. There we go. Sun's in your eyes right there. Oh god, visibility is... Heads up, sorry. More in that way. What's that, this? On the trail bike, yeah. Did you do it? No, I just saw him last minute just going... And I was like, yep. What, Andrew did it or he did it? What's that, all right. Dude, this is gonna be dangerous. Oh god. Oh, that's a big one. I've never done that before. Blake sent that to the very bottom when I was following him. Did he? Yeah. I didn't know how he landed that. So the guy in front of me, this is Andrew Niedling. Absolutely legendary. Don't worry, sir. Now he's the commentator. He does all the commentating for the street work downhill races. Whoa, that sun is terrible. Oh, that was ugly. That was awesome. He sent it very far up the bridge. A little bit. I thought you were gonna land on the bottom. So for some quick context. Here I'm about to do a run with one of my buddies, Max Morgan. I haven't seen him in years. He's been racing World Cups and we just haven't crossed paths in a while. So here we're finally going to link up and do a few runs together. We grew up racing downhill and whatnot. And he just got done racing the Canadian Open at Crankworx. So without further ado. How'd it go? That's all right, I ended up 20th. That's some stuff good and then Mike just made a couple mistakes. Jumps out like right to crab apple, I think, right? Ah, oh yeah, it does. I don't know if I want to hit them. You want to give us an excuse not to hit them? What do you want to do? You feel comfy on them? I feel like I can get a little bit risky. All right, let's do it. You want to lead? You want to follow? If you lead, you're on camera. If you're following, you're not. So it's up to you. That's right, I've got nothing to show. Okay, let's do this. I'm going to be changing directions quite a bit. All right, here's a biggie. You got it? Yeah, that was sick. That was fun. Dude, that is scary. You said that first one pretty deep. I want to go do that again. I'm doing a segment this weekend about the hardest features at Whistler. So you're on camera right now. So Max, you're an extremely talented rider. You race World Cups, and those jumps scared you. Why? Because the takeoff for one, they're probably, what would you say, over 10 feet tall, at least. I would say almost 15 at some points. Close to that. And you're just coming in so fast. And I'm just not used to it. We don't really get to hit that many jumps that big, that fast. And so it's honestly quite refreshing, but still gives you the jitters. I don't know. It wakes you up. This looks like a party jump. I know. Should we just kind of try to jump in? Oh, nice nose bonk. Hold on. I like that gap. Yo, what's your name? Ryan. Oh, Ryan Howard. Yeah. Oh, ----. I know who you are. That explains everything. I'm going to call my eyes out. What time is it? 7.40. Okay, so now we're going to jump to the next day, and this is my very last day at Whistler. By this point, I was super tired and beat up from riding six days in a row. But there was one more person that I hadn't gotten a chance to ride with, and I wanted to make a point to finally ride with him. And that's my buddy Trevor Burke. According to everyone else on the mountain, he's probably one of the fastest people there. And he knows us better than any other person. So what other better person to ride with? So let's jump into it. Shall we do this? Let's do it. All right, so right behind Trevor, he's one of the locals. One of the guys who likes to shred more than he likes to post on social media, which is probably good. And one of GT's tech guys here at Whistler. It's funny, you see me riding along certain trails, kind of because there's only so many really fun ones that you want to do. Yeah, I haven't done anything over here so far. Because like every time we come here, we always go over there. So I'm glad to do something different. This is what I'm talking about. Yeah, Trevor's a really fast rider. Trevor's got an injured foot right now. So I'm trying not to take off my left foot. Oh my god. Ow. My hands are like locked. Definitely halfway down, I was like, I can't, I'm just holding on. Yeah. I was standing on my keyboard. Dude, I have no problem stopping. Did they run the EWS down that? Poor turns. You're destroying them. Maybe I didn't do lower insomnia. I don't know if I made this. Oh, I just tagged that a little bit. That was a good one. I almost got myself in trouble there. I'm honestly probably only gonna do a few runs today. You were pulling away so easily in those turns. Got 29 in front. 160 or 170 in front. King Creek double barrel air. Yep, you're running it pretty slow, aren't you? Slow as you guys. Then, interesting, 60 mil stem. You don't see very many of those around. In the ExoTrails. Oh yeah. Not too bad yourself. Yeah, good. Fun to ride with you yesterday. Yeah, likewise. Luca. Hey, how's it going? Looking at your gap in there, actually. Okay, maybe it's, uh... Yeah, I can't take credit for that gap. You just have to go very close to the tree. It's, uh, I followed Wynn yesterday into it before we did that train. I was like, oh ----, I've never seen this one before. It's cool when you follow other people because then you see lines that you never thought about doing. Were you riding that yesterday? No, I don't know. I'm kind of stubborn. I always run on a little bike. After I stopped racing downhill, I just tried to get me on a downhill bike anymore. It's still fun, but only on your race courses. Where are you riding now? I don't know. Trevor, where are we headed? How do they call the expressway in French? I haven't gone that way. Okay, so I guess we're headed that way. Yeah, pleasure. Good seeing you guys. Did you touch your brakes at all? Oh, the tires slid around that turn. It's funny. Day one here, I was nervous over this trail, but now that's not the case. Trevor's really good at land yours. You hit the hip way differently than anyone else I followed. I was too far right, and I was going straight instead of hipping. That's a new one. That's the first time I scrubbed that. It's good, eh? I've been just boosting it. What's up, man? Yeah, sure. How are you doing, man? Good. Good to meet you, man. Thanks, PandaDudes, for being the assistant director of this video. All right, we have come to the conclusion of the Whistler series. This is the last video. We're done, which is probably good because this content is probably getting a little oversaturated at this point.

If you want to leave a comment, you can leave a comment, apparently. That's a thing. Sometimes I read them. Honestly, I read all the comments. So if you leave a comment, I will read it. It doesn't mean I will respond. Let me know what you think of the whole series. Yeah, and that's where I'm going to leave it because I really suck at outros. So peace out, Cub Scout, and I will catch you on the flip flop of the hip hop. OK, we're done.
