1st time whistler rider

[Rosscofat]

what should I DO? im taking this kid up from maple ridge he never rode whistler before... but I hear hes pretty.. good.. should I take him on A line or B line first... I dunno if hes tech rider and he likes Joyride... and stuff.. I dont wanna leave him and do my own thing.. ??? any ideas?

[Biking Fiend]

wait and find out, whats his name??

[freerider guy]

Dude don't worry just try A-line first run but take it easy, well thats at least what i did.

[Rosscofat]

ITS NOT ME whos the newbie.. its this kid.. his name is Justin.. he works in a greenhouse? lol I dunno what he rides.. but I guess... if he is into jumpin ill just warn him to go slow.. and ill stop at the common spots.. and wait.. unless he just bsing me and owns my ass

[C.C.]

Take him down b-line for his first run. If he is comfortable with that, then you have the rest of the day for A-line.

If he finds B-line challenging, it should make for an interesting day.

[Rosscofat]

so true.... I wont show him joyride or shleyer... and if he ask wahts the bridge drop on the chair ill say its closed and the ppl riding off of it are pros only

[Cheech]

I went up to whistler on a specilzed rockhopper and rode aline and had no probs so he shouldent :rolleyes:

[243_ht]

the only thing that is actually intimidating about a-line for a new person is the people riding your ass saying "get the fuck out of the way"

[scab12]

just ask him what one he wants to do and go for it and don't ride ahead of him much

[Rosscofat]

im not riding behind him... lol he wont know what he wants to do this is his first time...

[freerider guy]

Have u ever even ridden with him? If you haven't then ride with him and see his general ability and play it from there. Also try to go on a less busy day so that he doesn't get very scared by the fact guys, A-line isn't challenging at all it is just the speed all of the fast people want u travel at.

[Rosscofat]

I never even met the kid... dont know his last name only his first :) its like a blind date :) :) but it will be fun in anyway hope he rides a hardtail :)

[mike]

i think the poor kids in for a surprise :lol:

[Rosscofat]

haha when he meets me it will be love at first sight:D

[Zaskar]

i did a line the first time i went, way back when.

[Rosscofat]

ya cam, you never know he could just go rip it up asap.. or might wanna take it slow... I hope hes not ugly or he will make me look ugly hahahahahhah, I think thats not possible... you know the me beeing ugly part :rolleyes:

[wilkez]

take him down aline and show him whos in charge first run, then you can run the show the rest of the day :thepimp:

Take him down Joyride uppper and lower, then ask him if he would like to try one of the more challenging runs or just stick to the beginers
