Best technical trails in the WBP?
Just bought my first DH bike so planning on riding the WBP a fair bit this season. I've only ridden the bike park twice so far, but i had trouble finding good technical shore-type trails and ended up riding smooth fast jumpy trails like crank it up most of the time, which i am not a huge fan of. What are the best technical trails in the WBP? "too tight" was one of the trails that i really enjoyed... What other trails are like this?

I'd imagine the double-diamond uber squiggly looking ones on the map would suit you well

Gnarlier; afternoon delight, in deep, joyride, o sin, no joke, schleyer, rock city... Pretty much all the double blacks labelled "tech" are sweet. Harder ones are probably goats gully, capt. Safety, clown shoes

Angry Pirate is a good introduction to gnarlier trails (just don't fall to the right ha ha....), so to is Lower Whistler DH and then Schleyer is you are OK with small(ish) drops.

Original Sin --> Captain Safety --> In Deep --> New Blue Velvet --> End of Fatcrobat --> D1 --> Schleyer --> Dwayne Johnson --> Afternoon Delight --> Bottom of A-line

One of my favorite combos from last season, get a bit of everything in there.
