*My very first trip to whistler bc*
For soo long everyone has talked about going to whistler. I had seen so many pictures of it and heard nothing but great things from everyone. Thats why i was so stoked when i found out i was going for crankworx!
For weeks before we were leaving i was soo excited, happy all the time, couldnt stop bouncing off things.
The day we left i had a driving lesson in the morning which went really well. Then i went home and helped my parents load up the van. After my older brother came home from work and his friend got to our house we were ready to leave. Then i was wandering where my little brother was. My mom told me that he was going with our other friends who were leaving..so i didnt have to ride all the way there with him
This trip seemed to be going really well and we hadn't even left the house yet. So we left, we got to the ferry at about 3:30 and had just missed one of the ferries, but we got on the next one. while we were waiting, my brother, his friend drew and i walked around the beach and stuff. and i had just found out my brothers gf of over a year and a half had just broke up with him...what a bitch...right before we went to whistler...i didnt no what to do..he was so sad.. so me and drew did everything we could to make him happy...so we got on the ferry had dinner walked around, then before we knew it we were in horeshoe bay... we basically slept all the way to whistler, i woke up about 20 minutes past squamish. in time to see the big sign that said "Welcome to Whistler" and my heart just started going...i thought i was having a heart attack...it was the most amazing thing ever! so i put on the country hat and got out of the van and my mommi took a pic of me by the sign. we eventually got to our hotel. we stayed at the whistler cascade lodge...it was such a nice place! it even had a bike store inside the lobby! it was amazing! so we unpacked and all my brother could think about was sonja, still drew and i were doing everything we could to make him enjoy whistler...then all of a sudden drew pulled out a chocolate flavored camo joint...so we went for a walk and got all baked up then went on some adventures...after we had had enough we came back to our room to watch some tv..then after some tv, we went to bed.
i woke up at 8 the next morning, ate breakfast and got all ready for biking. i was so stoked to ride a-line.
so wen we got all ready and headed down towards the lifts, i was informed i would be riding with my little brother, his friend and his aunty...my stomach gave this like weird jolt thing..and i like couldnt believe it..all i wanted to do was rip...oh well...we spent most of the day seshing the drops and jumps and stuff, it was still fun...then i found a trail that had 3 wall rides and i loved them soo much...we spent most the day riding. i loved my new bike sooo much..we got lunch and sat by some stairs..and the guys at the stage found cam mccaul and made him play the mouth organ...aka the harmonica...wen he finished i talked to him real quick,,he shook my hand
and then we left and rode some more..but while we were standing in the lift line..guess who was right beside me..yeah cedrica gracia..it was amazing! i hadnt found any of my friends to bike with yet, but i was still having the time of my life...at 5 i went back to my condo and had a shower then went back to the village where i found some friends from the island, i went back to their condo with them and we all had some drinks...got a lil hammed up...we had a blast though..his mom drove me home at 2 eh em ish...and i got back tried to talk to my brother and his friends..but they tripped my into the elevator..i enventually got back to the room and ended up passing out on the deck...i slept out there all night...once again i woke up early..this time at 4 eh em cuz i was sooooo thursty! i drank so much fruit juice :hearts:. then i fell back asleep and woke up at 8 again..now its saturday and i found my friends kale and chris, i bike with them a lot too...so this time we decided we;d go hit up a-line for sure...my brother told me i probly wont like it..but we did it and i loved it sooo much, the funnest trail ive ever ridden! it was amazing, there wasnt many ruts either...everything was soooo smooth...instagasms...anyways...after that day of riding, i went back to the condo, had a shower then ran back into the village to go watch kyle, darren and paul in the slopestyle...that was the most amazing thing ive ever seen...everyones first 2 runs werent too amazing...but on the 3rd runs./.wow..it was intense...darrens 3 off the road gap...pauls tailwhip backflip..never seen anything like it....i washappy to hear that paul won, even though darren was amazinggg...but i was happy all the same,...cam zinc came 3rd, cam mccaul came 4th..we stayed for the awards and i got the chance to talk to paul for a sec...after that nothing else was really going down for a bit so me and my q-town friends started walking up to the bus place...but i saw kyle strait...i introduced myself and we started talking, then i had to go and he gave me a hug..it was soo unbelieveable ( he is my fav biker just so you all know) i was shaking so much...when we were on the bus i couldnt stop thinking about it..we got back to their condo..ordered pizza and hung out in the hot tub and stuff..i ended up taking the 1:18 eh em bus back to the village and my dad met me there and we walked back to our hotel..but took a wrong turn..well we ended up walking at least an extra half hour...i finally found the bridge that i crossed everyday to go to the village so we went to go across it..but of course all the sprinklers were on so we had to run..and we got back to our room and my mom was like..wat the hell? and yeah..so i went to bed...then woke up in the morning and had alphagettis...mmm....i packed up my stuff and headed back into the village where i found some friends and hung out with them untill they left at 2:30..so i wandered around and went to watch the flow show..that was crazy...i didnt know darma joe could ride like that..i knew he was good..but like...catwalking up a skinny thats 15 feet in the air? wow...it was rad..then i saw some friends of mine from victoria and we talked for awhile...at about 3..my mom said she wanted to go..so we walked through the village and i got a shirt...and talked to jordie (lunn) for a little while, while my mom was looking for shorts..then at 3:45 we headed back to the hotel...we got the van all packed up and we were ready to leave be 4:15...we got to the ferry at 5:45ish..and we had reservations for the 6:40 ferry..but there was sailing waits so it was ok...i got on the ferry and was kinda bummed that i would have to sit with my parents the entire time..but then i heard someone calling my name and it turned out to be the q-town buddies! so we all hung out and me and thurston butter wars..it was pretty greasy but fun all the same...then nothing else to exciting happened on the way home...and that basically concludes my trip..
