    Man it is the best feeling ever. Visited Whistler for the first time last June, coming from The Netherlands. I just could not believe how cool it was, did 17 runs the first day and had to stop because the lift closed 😂 Very cool that you let James experience it all, because it’s one of those things that really has a lasting impact on your life.

      How long were the line ups? I got like 10 a day but I did to a couple garbanzo laps. And you are 100% right, there’s nothing else like Whistler especially the jumps trails. The tech is good but living in BC there is no shortage of good tech trails and the Whistler jump lines are so good it’s hard not to take the opportunity to ride ALine and freight train over and over again

    Best quote from your video at 7:38:
    "There's tons of hype about A-LINE. But, I didn't think that when we would get here the hype would just go through the roof. Even just looking at the sign, I'm like okaaay, okaaay. Let's just do it. Let's just do it for the rest of the trip, let's not go anywhere else."

    LOVE this! @ And welcome to the LR4 family! I've got a 2013 and it's honestly an amazing vehicle. I'll throw down some tidbits not knowing anything about the history or knowledge of the car, so feel free to ignore lol
    The air suspension is something you'll want to pay attention to, and then the bushings that go along with them. They're wear and tear items, but when they're done up right the system is amazing.
    The wheels and tires debate/decision that you'll make if you want to off road/off trail it can go pretty deep. I've got the Compomotive 18s on mine and that was a huge help for tire selection as those 19s are hard to find good A/T tires for.
    The oil changes are different because you don't get under the car for it, which is nice. They take like 8 quarts of oil for a change, so you'll have to make sure the
    I saw you already have the hitch for it, just make sure you check if it's an OEM hitch or not, because it'll change the load rating the truck can handle. (yes truck, it's an H frame vehicle, I stand by it lol)
    There's lots out there and the thing is beyond capable is so many different scenarios. Take care of it and it'll last you forever.

    • @Jamesyshreds
      @Jamesyshreds Před rokem +2

      Hey dude. I totally understand your worry about me not wearing gloves but honestly I feel like after years and years of crashes I've never hurt my hands. I tend to protect my body with my arms in fast crashes and my hands are always saved.
      Wearing gloves makes me feel like I'm riding with someone else's hands and I feel more safe without them.
      If you like them keep wearing them, one day they will save you, they just don't work for me.
