Why is Whistler Bike Park such a big freaking deal?

In a recent poll, it seems that 78% of you have never been to a lift access bike park like Whistler, which is actually pretty unsurprising. Some of these places are not easy to get to, and some of you aren't even that interested in downhill. Nevertheless, "Whistler" pops up a lot in MTB news as well as YouTube, and most of this content presumes you have certain knowledge about the place. Some of you may feel that you have "stupid" questions about it, but I feel that no such questions exist.This video is meant to serve as an introduction to Whistler so that other videos are easier to understand. If this upload isn't up to normal standards, it's because I produced it on location.Thanks to Mike, Jordan, and Alexander for helping me with clips!Check out Jordan on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/JordanBoostmasterCheck out Alexander on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfUGBBnxQYezwJM9wi3F-LgAll music in this video is from http://share.epidemicsound.com/trQSg
