    If the goal of SunPeaks Resort was to get some inexpensive promotion by having VanCan visit on their dime, they've succeeded! It's been many years since I was at SunPeaks but now I really want to go again!

    Looks fun! I think Paul takes the "attack position" a little too seriously - seems very straight and stiff on the bike, his arms barely move relative to the upper body? Could probably benefit from learning to loosen up and get a bit more dynamic!

    Yea its weird, where I live in Australia the jumps are too small to do whips, but when I went to whistler I learnt how to whip in 2 days and it got to the point if I didnt whip I would start going over the bars, I had to move the bike every jump!

    Van Can, you couldn´t get enough speed on that drop because you were braiking inside the corner, you have to brake earlier, let go and then you would exit faster. You can also do it at that speed if you boos it. Hope this helps. Great video and riding as ever:))) I would love to visit!
