Whistler Bike Park Green Trails - Complete Beginner's Guide

- Whistler Bike Park has one of the widest range of trail difficulties in the world, with the Green Trails being the easiest of them all. With trails like 'Easy Does It', Whistler is also a beginner mountain biker's paradise. But what are all the green rated trails? I though I would take some laps and check out just what is on offer.

Do a blue trail video !
Gotta go away for a week or so, but I'll get on it!
Only just got into the mountain bike scene. Is whistler in the UK?

Sometimes the best videos are the most simple. Pretty sure this is going to be helpful for thousands of riders for years to come.
Well done, Paul!
Why a'thank you Mr Joe 🤘
Sure is
A speed indicator would be cool to see how fast you are hitting these sections
Well, will you have a speed indicator on your dh/trail bike?
ImpaledBerrys gopro has one
@@ronaldvanderveen9148
I specifically said trail/dh bike to prevent this...
@@dotdankory Wasn't he talking about a GoPro? wouldn't *any* rider that has a GoPro have access to it?
@@daffakianandra147 im saying that it would be useless to have a speed indicator because on your trail bike you wont know how fast you're going, it wouldnt be safe to look down and see your speed to hit it perfectly
Total beginner (at 61 years young) MTB'er and this video has me sad that I'm 1,800 miles away. Certainly got the juices flowing, who knows... definitely a bucket list destination for me and my son. Thank you for an awesome ride along!
My wife and I started Mountain Biking a couple months ago. We live in Daytona Beach. We have a dozen or so bike parks within an hour of us, and I can tell you from our standpoint that looks terrifying.
Thanks so much for this. As a complete beginner it's really intimidating to think about going places like this surrounded by experts. Seeing this helps big time.
Not a problem Ben, glad I could help.
Hey Look I'm First! Thanks for covering the trails people new to the sport want to see Paul!
Daily MTB Rider woahhh first! Great work Josh, fastest youtube in the pacific north west :). Thanks dude!
Lol, the first time I went mountain biking was with my dad at trestle park and it was a blast. Although we rented bikes with no idea what to get and didn’t get a guide so about 20 seconds in I went head over heels over a berm and broke my visor on a log. All part of the experience though😂
Love del boca!
I think more people need to hear that faster riders should yield to slower ones, especially on blue and green trails. I’ve seen some people act like they’re trying to win the World Cup down beginner trails.
VanCan haha yeah it can happen, but I’ve maybe seen that happen once or so in my time there. It’s way better than France for example.
That's true, I've actually only seen it a few times. I guess it just triggers me, haha.
I saw some asshole trying to pass a dad and his kid toward the end of Heart of Darkness on opening weekend. I was sat down cruising behind them and buddy tried to pass me to pass them so I called out to hom
Great vid! For clarity: Whistler mountain bike park rules state that on green and blue trails, the downhill rider has the right of way, where as on black, double black, and pro line trails, downhill riders must yield to the uphill rider.
@@davidlewisrealestate1431 no one should be pedalling uphill on any of these trails
Thanks for this introduction. My 10 yo son would love the green trails, going to show him the vid, however, he does not know english yet, as we are from Germany...
Aber so schwer ist das ja nicht, kannst du ihm ja übersetzen :) Und schauen reicht vll auch ^^
@@froznfire9531 sure I could translate, however, we sometimes watch English spoken videos and I do the interpreter. It works! pictures are more important ;-)
@@Bessunger yeah that´s nice aswell :) Keep it going if it works
I'm 63 and I would love green trails to.
Your coming all the way from Germany just to go to the bike park? Dam
This was a great video as some who is just getting into MTB. Doing beginner videos is helpful
Now do one for intermediate riders: all the reds/blues
AF25 I might do one for the blues and blacks! No reds in North America, it goes blacks and double blacks. But blues would be best to do!
Paul The Punter ah right. So are the whistler blacks comparable with U.K. reds or blacks?
AF25 reds = blacks us
red is proline in whistler
The only place I’ve seen in NA has been Coast Gravity Park.
This video is so helpful because I am going to whistler for the first time this summer to see crankworx and is super stoked about it but I only have watched people like Jordan boostmaster who ride doubleblacks and stuff so the blue and green trail video will help me find more amateur bases trails. Thank you so much!
Hey no problem! Hope you have an awesome time.
Mister, have been watching your videos for a while now. Where i was to busy working, and did not have the time, now, at closing in on 56, i see that i am beginning to have what i did not have time for, some fun.. Looking to get a DiamondBack, and start riding. Have watched other videos on this park, and wondered where does a biginner start. Your taking the time to set up this video answers that question. also, fills a void that your never to old just to get out and start having fun. By your doing this, thinking of setting up a channel for people who like me are just starting out. Where to go, what to wear, a good starter bike. etc. In the end, thank you for doing this video. It means more to some of us that back silently and watch that you may never see, or know about. I would add this last thing. Never go through your day, and think your not appreciated, because you are. Thank You Kindly, SCOTTISHXPRIDE, TEXAS.
Wow - thank you so much! I’m quite taken aback! I’ll remember this one for a long time - can’t wait to hear about you and your bike 👌
Would like your thoughts sir. Looking at a first bike, as: DiamondBack Catch 2. As i stand just a little over 6'4" and at around 260, thinking this is a good starting point. Although at the time of this writing, would really love to find something in a 29" in full suspension. Looks like though, i'll need to wait to order it, as they do not have the extra large in stock. Your thoughts? SCOTTISHXPRIDE, TEXAS.
Depends what kind of trails you’re riding! I’m not familiar with the diamond back, pop in your local shop and they’ll know best.
I've been watching a lot of mountain bike videos lately.. I shattered both my wrists on a mountain bike (using it super wrong.. on a BMX track..) and I've been skiddish of MTB's ever since.. The video gives me a bit of anxiousness; but I think this one might've just sold me on at -least- giving it a try. The worst that can happen is me coming out of it and saying "Hey, I tried, it wasn't for me."
Thank you for making this video :) I appreciated it!
You should definitely give it a go! Let me know when you do.
I think the location of Whistler Bike Park would be important info for a beginner.
For any beginners who need/want this info here you go:
- 4282 Mountain Square, Whistler, BC V0N 1B4, Canada
You deserve more SUBS
Thanks! Very flattered.
Paul The Punter I love your content very informative ill watch this again when i get the chance to go on this bike park
This channel is so good. It’s the reason I got into mountain biking.
I’ve been watching lots of mountain biking videos in quarantine and I’m thinking of starting it, I live in Vancouver so Whistler is very close and this video was very helpful, thanks a lot :)
I first started riding about a year ago on a beginner mountain bike (Diamondback Overdrive 29er) and i fell in love with the sport. I have since now purchased a Fox Float 32 fork, and an entire Shimano XT Groupset! I love the sport and everything about it, i suggest anyone who hasnt tried it, to give it a try for yourself. You might be surprised!
This is a great story Kelbs, keep ripping!
I love Whisteler bike trail, I ran into my first tree there👍😁
Been to Whistler for snowboarding but It's going to be my first time in Whistler for mountain biking this year. Thanks for the awesome video.
Oh you're going to love it!
My firt time was in chamonix I was way out of my depth and after getting a guide the next time she took me down some very technical and steep trails, I did most of it in stages but was a bigger first step then I was comfortable with
I am a newbie and had no idea Whistler, or any place had such a set-up. Awesome! I do believe I will make my way down from Alaska and try that someday Thanks Paul!
Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see some average trail riding at this Park. Every other vid I see is of people launching off A line. Nice to see something for the average guy
Such a great way to cover something a lot of other youtubers miss!
Thanks dude!
I thought the trail was gonna be green like the thumbnail lol
ross black me too😂😂
Random commenter you’re just salty
Random commenter stupid
**Big Brain Intensifies**
Me too 😂
Great video for new riders looking to make the trip to Whistler!
Why thank you crew!
We had been in the park for 3 days straight our first trip and decided to see where Easy Does it went. It takes 20 minutes or so it seems but I was getting REALLY excited because I realized I could actually let my wife and kids ride Whistler if I ever saved enough money to take them. It's way below my skill level, but would be perfect for them. Pretty cool that it's there.
It really is a park for everyone!
When you paused the video I thought my wifi was being dodgy.
Your right no one has covered the trails for the beginner. Almost all the videos of Whistler is double black trails or blue trails .those are very intimidating for the beginner. Those are the riders you want to help welcome and make feel comfortable about riding whistler.
I am a sicilian endurist that never rode bike parks, I recently moved to England and I found out there's a hiking and tracking park that is ridable and I am enjoying it. There are a lot more climbs and up and downs than my usual natural trails but it's fun.
We are going to Whistler for the first time in a couple weeks. This video was great! Very few videos cover the simple stuff like getting in line and loading the bikes. That was great. Thanks and looking forward to your next video!
Thanks roger! Hope you have a great time, not sure I’ll have time to upload the sequel before you go...but hopefully!
Bring $$$ - LOTS of $$$! Vail bought it up and needs to cover their costs.
greta vid man. not a beginner but i was curious and i have to say u did quite well with explaining stuff. dropped a sub
Why thank you Pooh Bear! Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks Paul - great videos! See you on the trails!! 💨
I was quite happy doing the Lost Lake trails when the bike park was still covered in snow in May.
Bingo! Lost Lake is an absolutely beautiful area, did the same on a ski trip in March (I think 2015) when there was no snow for skiing. Swapped rental skis for bikes and had the best time of the trip.
John Saccoccio 😃
Omg thank you. I've been waiting for a vid like this!!! 👊
No problems ✌️🤘
Wtf how does dis dud not have millions of subs? Seriously.
Thanks for the guide! I'm a cross country rider and got completely schooled at Winhdam in NY, which only had intermediate or harder courses! Wanted to make sure I could handle the trails. This looks pretty doable.
Thanks for this video I live in Pemberton and wanted to go try the bike park and I didn’t know what to ride this will helps tons
No way!! You’ve never tried it?! Get down there pronto! Also Pemberton has some amazing riding too!
Whisler skiing is amazing
SHORT YT yuppie!
@@CANControlGRAFFITI Mtb can be every bit as pretentious
Fantastic video for anyone just starting out... thanks for this!
It's a great idea for a video since most of the stuff on TH-cam is experts hitting the black trails. That's cool to watch, but this is going to be helpful for a lot of riders. Well done!
Thanks Len, hope you stick around for a few more videos 🤘
Great video - thanks for posting. Have been riding for many years, but have never been to a bike park. Helpful vid.
You deserve at least 100k+ subscribers!
Thanks Dev!
Thank you for the great video! I have never mountain biked but I am very interested in it so one day when I find the time I’ll visit Whistler. I’m still in high school and I don’t think I have the time to start now so maybe after or in college I can start.
I have been to Whistler 3 times before, although sadly not for mountain biking, but I did recognize some of the areas in the video!
Nice! You should get up there for a 4th trip and get some biking in 👌
Thats rly nice, good trail for people like me to train how get the bike on side, off the ground and to get used to driving with higher speed
Mate, you couldn’t have timed this better. I’m coming over to see a friend at end of Sept so will share this video with him.
Looking forward to the blue runs. Cheers!
Oh Shred-tember! That's the best time to ride, great call!
i like it! im from PH, one of my dream is the ride on whistler. hoping someday to ride with you also. ride safe Paul. :)
Thank you for this! Going to whistler in july for the 1st time, stuff like this is great for first timers. Subbed!
Awesome - you're going to have a great time!
9:15 thumbnail 😉
Great vid! Thanks for the info. I hope to visit the park some day :D
these the kind of trails i need.
Going to Whistler for the first time in August. Good info here, thanks!
Cheers Bill! Look out for the sequel soon
Thank you for this video! My wife and I will be at Whistler in about 2 weeks!
Got a new one coming out tomorrow :)
Wow i would Love to go to whistler bike park.But Im too far away.Im from philippines. you can also try trails here in philippines.
Wow you are absolutely flying down these trails doesn't look like very beginner to me.
I'm flying because they are easier 🙂I've also ridden them quite a lot!
Excellent vid...looking forward to the next installments!
Thanks bugsy! Check out some of my other vids too ✌️
wow that was really cool! I'm a real beginner and I live in the suburbs their is not many places to ride but I love bunny hopping off of driveways that have a little ramp and curbs. This really made me wanna tackle a real trail!
You should definitely get on it, check out Trailforks and see what's in your local area.
Just ordered my Giant Glory advanced hoping to go whistler next year looks awesome!
Great work Matt!
Ill ride pretty much any level of track , save for downhill World Cup stuff, I watched this video for inspiration on trail features and to see the trails that so many people glance over.
It's nice to see the easier lines. I just got into mountain biking and I get a bit scared looking at the big trails. Especially since in my case if I break my collarbone I might lose my arm lol
Super useful video for U.K. mountain bikers
brushing up on my whistler trails early.....
Day 1 - Easy Does it
Day 2 - Crank it up
Day 3.......crank it up
day 4..............crank it up
day 5....................hospital
Hahaha no way
Sounds like loads of fun, tho. 😂👍
There's no shame in starting easy. No one just gets on their bike and is perfect off the line. The problem comes when you're still on those easy trails years later.
Great video. Some day maybe I’ll make it out there. Looks dreamy
Great video. Del Bocca and Shady Acres look to be like a Blue Trail in the UK. Safe enough for beginners but fun enough for more experienced riders to warm up on or just enjoy.
That's probably about right!
Interesting thing =) Thanks for your work!
(Cool, last night I looked on your ACC it was 999.999 abos, now its 100.000! Grats )
Looks good. The perfect place to start at whistler
Thanks for posting this. I do blues in the Seattle area but hear things are tougher up north so want to start green when I go to whistler the first time this year. This should help esp since I'm taking friends that have never ridden mountain.
Perfect - that's exactly why I made this video! Glad you enjoyed it.
this looks so fun im looking to buy my first legit mountain bike this year nothing too crazy, the bmx aint cutting it these days
Roses are red
That trial is green
Wow that trial is really green...
Please more of Those Videos! Loved it!
Will do jujo!
🤘🏼
My family it thinking about moving to Vancouver, im so excited to live near the best downhill park im the world :D
Convinced the wife to honeymoon at Whistler, hope to bring our kids there someday.
Really nice living 7000km away from usa
Just found you from BKXC, really like your style of videos pal, subscribed 👍
Thanks Steve! Great to have you around.
Still terrified. I went biking once with my friend and ended up pressing the wrong break and going over the handle bars at quite high speed. Had to spend three days in a hospital and in a neck brace for six weeks. So yeah I don’t think it’s a sport for me, but enjoyed the video. Will be heading to whistler for skiing sometime so still nice to see what that might look like.
SICK VIDEO
Thanks LVC!
Scotland needs some good investment in trails our scenery is very similar! !!
👊😄✌
looks like great fun!
Great taking the intimidation out of visiting a bike park.
Good video dude. I’m on my 5th season in the bike park as well but I can still remember the stress of loading my bike on the lift on day 1 haha.
Oh man, even still that first day bike the stress is high!
we need more of this in nz
Awesome video, super helpful. One minor criticism: don't stop in the middle of a trail unless it is an emergency! I thought Californians were the only fools that did this, but no, I saw it plenty at Whistler too. If you need to stop, that's fine, just pull to the side.
Ahh yes this is a good point, but the worst thing we can do is start shouting at eachother. Lets always educate, not argue ✌️
Easy does it looks amazing tbh
Great video! Good commentary and pacing
How are green and blue trails for a BMX? I've always wanted to take on some mellow downhill trails with by 20 inch.
I’ve never been mtb riding but I used to bmx race
As a semi decent trail biker whistler is my next holiday
I'm going to be taking my 29er 100 ml travel hardtail cross country bike.
3:30 I wish the lift was that fast 😭
Except for getting on and off 😅
I'm french. My dream ride whtistler
This is good info, keep up with the good work.
Thanks! I'll give it a go.
Helmet : open face helmet allowed ? im in Whistler in a few months for 2 weeks, or do i need to buy full face .. Cheers
jerric x I think you’ll be fine
Normal helmets are fine, full face is personal choice. I see riders on greens in full face and riders on black trails with open face. Just wear what you want and makes you feel safe 🙂
What about a merdia 2019 9.600 29er with 130 front and 120 rear mm suspension
i've been to whistler, the green trails feel like our local black trails in toronto haha
Hey Paul. Amazing video. What is the best time to come to Whistler weather and crowd wise?
Hi Paul. Great content BTW. You mentioned guides. Any recommendations? I've have a google but can really find any. We (me, wife and daughter 13yo) are going to Whistler for the first time in Aug 2022. We are doing a 3 week trip through BC and going to Kicking Horse and Sun Peaks first for a 3 days in each then 10 days at whistler then Revelstoke on the way back to Calgary for our flight back to the UK. Can't wait.
