My first time at Whistler was after only a few times riding MTB, and it definitely felt over my head. I mostly just lapped EZ all day and my one attempt at Del Boca freaked me out so I bailed back to EZ pretty quick. I'm getting more seriously into MTB this year, and I've booked a Whistler trip for August. Looking forward to trying again.

I just returned from my first time at Whistler loved it. We got 5 day passes and rode like nothing I have had experienced . Was sending it 2nd day and doing black diamonds by 3rd n 4th. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for the content, I have been watching you two since I started 2019

I really love how you show your crashes, your commentary as you fell off the side of the rock at the end was too funny

Clear and concise.. informative as usual Yuka when you do these type of videos.. keep up the good work

I love your content Yuka! Your approach and bravery in the face of challenges is inspiring. Keep it up

Yuma I love your channel as well as Eric’s! Appreciate you talking about beginners even though you are an expert. Love the content

Thanks for this great video Yuka! (and ofc all the others;) Its amazing to see how far you've come! You totally sent the moonbooter and everything, YOU ROCK!

Awesome video! Love seeing your perspective of the sport and places you visit. It also helps me to push my wife to ride more!

Awesome video! Thank you for the information and hope to hit that trail one day. Keep posting trail videos and love the content!

Whistler can be fun, but the ego-mania and the insecurity of people there has not changed in 10 years. People there need to loosen up and have fun, smile, and be friendly. Nobody likes an arrogant jerk and nobody likes a cry baby-it’s best to be, talk, and act like a real person who is there to have fun, ride safe, and progress their skills. As soon as you leave Whistler, even to Squamish, you realize the people get better. They’re having more fun and cheer each other on. That’s why people like your channel Yuka. You are authentic. Keep it real ✌🏻

Love it! Thanks for an honest and thorough review, VGY style. Can't wait to get back out to BC.

Awesome video as always and really helpful!!

Great video! Thanks for highlighting the easier trails! 🙂

Love your videos !

I would watch this channel just for Yuka's expressions. Lol! Great video for the majority of people riding the trails out there!

Thank you for sharing! Love your content! 👍🧡

You have me laughing and crying, Yuka. You are seen. Thanks so much for sharing.

Nice seeing content from you again!

Thank You! I always wondered about the green and less popular trails.

Great video! Super helpful

Great video Yuka! That was a nice tour of the park 😁

Great video Yuka 🤩🤙🔥

Prefect, just the video I needed! Thank you. Try to decide about getting into park riding. Great introduction to the sport and park!🤪👍🏼

Awesome vid!

Have a great start yuka im one of your fan here in Philippines.. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Whistler is not only a good place for beginners, but it is one the best places.

hahaha you're so hilarious Yuka! your videos are very inspiring and interesting to watch

Great informative video Yuka. But where were Remy, Phil and Eric..?! 😉🙏🏼

Ha! After seeing bcpovs new video i knew you would also upload a new one ❤️🤙

That was really neat!

awesome video again.

i might never be to canada, but it was nice to have your perspective from this spot. greetings from germany

Worth a million laughs and likes just from the look after you crashed on the off camber drop.lol Peace and stay safe

I had never biked before, went Whistler bike park for my first ever try, and it was actually great for a first timer. The lift was the most intimidating part haha

The crash footage at the end is the best!

What I really likes here was the breakdown between the types of riding. Jumps, Speed, Technical. That deserves it's own video regardless of the Bike Park. Think you could do that vid well.

Thanks!

You're the best Yuka!

Very encouraging video. I am right now where you were in 2014. :)

Nice content! Oh... if I had taken the same line as you on the last part of your vid... I would have crashed as well!

I was there 2 months ago.. I also saw a mother bear with her club quite close to the trails! So stay alert!

Thank you

Nice!🔥

"that's what I thought" has got to be the funniest thing anyone ever said before going down 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 you amaze me Yuka 🤘

Hi friend! good video and happy weekend 💥✌

right on girl keep ripping

i wanna go !

Excellent introduction to #whistler Yuka!

Time to learn to ride a bike!

3:30 I feel extacly like this on my Enduro with nearly no protection on pumptrack (still recovering)

I really want to go here, although I live on the otherside of the wrld, and can't have much jumping practice because it isn't rlly hilly/a good place for it. I only have Glenrock, Aus

Green trails are the future of the sport. Nice video.

Awesome video. How many people go the "Del Bocca Vista" reference? (for those who didn't, it's a Seinfeld joke)

I saw you at vale mount and took a picture

I can’t wait to go ! First time my 5010 will touch Canadian soil.

@Yuka - Yeah! Been waiting for a new video from you

thanks for the honest review, I'm a beginner and I don't think I'm up to a bike park ride just yet

Honestly for the stuff I ride the bike park feels a lot safer. There everything is properly built and maintained and while I've had numerous crashes resulting in pain for days and one broken bone, none of them were a result of the ~20 days I've ridden park.

My first time at Trestle bike park in Colorado, the guy I was following didn't listen to directions and I ended up on all black runs for my first trip down. We were supposed to be on the greens and I thought "boy if these are the greens, I'm in trouble." And yes, I too crashed.

My first bike park experience came after 55 years of riding. Things that really caught me out: The scale of the jumps and drops, which surprisingly only took a few runs to adjust to. Full face helmets are very hot and limit your vision dramatically, so I avoid parks that require them. The trails are not nearly as smooth as they look at speed on video, don't take your hard tail your first time. Lifts are so much slower than ski season, so you can easily spend most of your time standing around on a busy day.

Hola yuca cuando vienes a Charlottte NC 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏🙏

I rode a green trail with a downhill bike rental there lol

Clear nice to go there

i loveyour videos maam. i wish i can ride trails with you and your friends

Love the dramatic reenactments. At least I hope they were reenactments. 🙂

amazing video! I'm kind of a beginner, but i love small drops, skinnies and jumps. Are there any trails that are easier but still interesting?

As soon as Whistler drops the attitude towards ebikes and opens all the trails to them, I'm up for going.

あ〜一度行ってみたいなぁ〜

I would say yes, you seem to go along OK.

Bike park endurance tip: Relax your grip.

if i see you in August when i go......cake for you and beer for Eric.....hope i run into you guys....to atleast say thank you

It is far too long between my dose of Yuka!

Whistler Bike Park is perhaps the best place in the world for beginner riders. I don't believe there is any other place that could turn a beginner into an expert within a matter of months.

Whistler is good for everyone :)

LMAO at the end. Those slow-motion crashes really give you time to think don't they?

🙏💛

Van girl aaaa yuuuuuukaaaa

I didn't ride my 1st "lift assist bike park" until a few years into my riding. It definitely is not the same as trail ratings! I personally prefer the fun flowy green stuff (dang getting older and responsibility).

Never rode there looks fun though but I don't think a hardtail works well there

Must you be vaccinated to enter Canada? Does anyone know?

If your a new rider to go to this no it’s not safe to go!

Biggest problem for beginners isn't going too fast ... It's going too slow, which for beginner (and sometimes advanced) riders is by far the #1 reason people crash. It's just physics. It's harder to knock a bike off course when the wheels are spinning faster.

I think slightly more than 1,000 bikers go there every year 😆The actual number is 100,000!

My first ever MTB ride was at Whistler last summer....cashed after 5mins....learned the hard way that front brakes are pretty powerful and that the dirt on the side of the track near berms might be a little soft....still was a hightlight of my trip in BC!

so what the hell were those videos ive been seeing about whistler for the last 2 years? EARLY ACCESS??

Yuka, tu es trop forte

3:18 by far and away the most crashes happen exactly that way.

I think a little more than 1000 bikers come to whistler

Short Answer NO 😎

The availability of green or easier blue trails notwithstanding, it kind of seems to me like unless a beginner is going specifically to avail themselves of the downhill lessons or something, then a trip to Whistler would seem weird IMO. It's good that Whistler has some easy stuff. OTOH, if you are defaulting to wanting to ride mellow double track, going to a bike park and buying a lift ticket seems like a rather inefficient way to do it. It just doesn't seem worth it without having the skills and endurance to go beyond the easier trails. I am pretty cheap though. And also far away from BC, so the travel cost/impact not relevant to people in the BC area may be affecting my judgement.

more like 10,000 people

Don't waste money to ride Whistler until you can ride blue trails at least. There are plenty of nice places along the Sea to Sky to ride/learn mountain biking for free.

Aiiyoooo u r so cute 🥺 .. I wanna ride with u .. I'm from northeast India ... ur english is so so so so cute I had felt for it ....... 💓

I'd like to visit one day but unfortunately Canada still won't let me in because I refuse to be vaccinated. Crazy world we live in.
