WARMUP LAP following my Kids at Whistler Bike Park
My kids don't seem to understand the concept of a WARMUP LAP. To be fair, when I was 13 or 15 years old, I didn't think much about warming up either. But now that I'm in my mid 40s, warmup is a legitimate thing. So I was a bit alarmed when the kids decided to give me a "proper warmup" on some of the hardest trails at Whistler Bike Park.
I'm riding with my kids, Nory (15) in pink and Elliott (13) in black. This is early season riding at Whistler Bike Park, so only the Fitzsimmons Zone is open. But that's okay because conditions were excellent, if a bit wet and slippery from rain, and because the park has been relatively empty. While this was fun, I'm planning more traditional warmup laps in the future as the risk of an injury is high when my body is stiff, I don't know the conditions, and that first sip of coffee hasn't yet kicked in.
You'll see that Elliott punctures his tire partway through this gentle "warmup" lap. We found the exact moment where it happened, stick around to the end to find out.
Here are the trails we rode:
00:00 - Introduction
00:25 - Upper JoyRide
03:03 - Dwayne Johnson
03:51 - POLP Fiction
05:26 - Longhorn
06:20 - A-Line
07:42 - Elliott's Flat
