Is blogging still a thing?

So there I was, drinking beer and looking at the internet. What ever happened to my blog..... I don't think people even realize that I race mountain bikes for a living. I think people know me as that guy who posts weekly POV videos on YouTube about riding on the edge of some scary cliff in the desert. I am a Vlogger now, do I really need a blog? Well, after a two-year hiatus, I just turned it back on because it made me smile. Let me know what you guys think. Times were simpler then. More projects, more problems. Wouldn't trade it for anything. ​

Mountain Biking Top of The World, Whistler Bike Park

Mountain Biking the Top of The World trail in the Whistler Bike Park with Adrian Camposilvan, Krunk Shox, Will Cadham, and Ben Forbes. #FollowcamFriday Season2, Episode 11. All 4K, all damn day. 
Top of The World is a Whistler classic. After riding the gondola to the top of Whistler mountain, a short piece of trail takes you away from the main trail system and over to the Peak chair. After a ride to the peak, a 5000ft descent awaits, back to the bottom of Whistler. I have raced this stage a few times as part of the annual EWS event during Crankworx and it is about 23 minutes at race pace, top to bottom. This video shows the upper section only and ends where Top of The World rejoins the rest of the bike park. 

Top of The World is a good mix of natural trail and rock, beginning in the alpine, and descending back to the park through  a thick pine forest. We happened to catch it on a moody and wet day in August of 2016. We were greeted with all-time traction and a bit of slick root riding to keep everyone honest. We all blew of the track at some point. Loose moments were had. Whistler is like no place on earth. On a side note, Ben Forbes wasn't even wearing sleeves.... Australians are tougher I guess... Or maybe he forgot his jacket. Good times!!
