Riding Dirt Merchant With A Flat Tire! // Whistler Part 2 of 4

  • How bad of an idea is riding Whistler's Dirt Merchant trail with a Flat Tire? I got a puncture on my way down the mountain; I could either take the boring lift safely or push my luck and send one of whistlers biggest jump trails with a Flat tire in the name of science. Dirt Merchant is one of the biggest Pro line Jump trails at Whistler bike Park (besides for Crabapple).

      The top is a double Black, the bottom split off is a Proline. 🙂

      Hey Buddy, I'm calling out your trick in the first video of this series, on the crazy ass rock roll of RdS. The crash part is from another flowy trail.L.OL.
      You sent that pro line roll like nothing. That depth looks impressive in person but no idea it was about 6 feet. I'm 5'4" myself so I understand why the compression is that intense, so much so that cost me my left collarbone. Frame by frame I was able to see where you lifted the front wheel to minimize the compression. Well done Man. Not that I'd want to give it another :-D
      However, You're an inspiration to improve one's riding. Cheers.

    Phil, thank you. I am 58 yrs old. I know there was mountain biking back in the 1970's, but I did not know it existed. We had no internet to advertise that sort of stuff. I am a retired veteran with too many issues to do this sort of stuff now. This is where the thanks comes in. I am living vicariously through your video's...and some others...but you are my favorite! I know your channel is geared to your generation, but this boomer loves watch the rides. Thank you kind sir...Thank you!

    Goooood Loooooorrrrrd!! That was insane! I'm guessing that rock roll/drop/death wish feature at the end of "ride don't slide" is one of those that 99% of the riders roll up to, and go around without even giving it a second thought. That's not one of those where you try it, and it goes wrong, and you go OTB....tuck and roll, and usually jump up from. That's one of those where you crash and get hauled off. That looked RIDICULOUS even on camera, so I know in person it has to literally look unriedeable. I loved how you were cruising along, gapping stuff, and laughing. So much fun to watch. Your editing lately has been DEAD ON, and I can't wait for the third installment!

    Man, the GoPro effect is strong with this one. So many of those trails look easy enough even for me, then you switch to third-person view and NOPE! 6-foot drops to flat, insane gnar, trees and root waiting to kill you. Whistler's on my bucket list, but not these particular trails.
    26:34 - I agree with everything you said here. I just wish I could have heard it. Volume's way too low. I had to turn my volume all the way up, and even then it was difficult. And I'm wearing earphones, too! And then it jumps back to the normal video and POW! Eardrums blasted out!
    I also loved seeing the POV from the women near the end. I don't know why that was so cool, but it was.
    Stay upright and keep the rubber side down.
