No, check and replace you main pivots if it does.

"I wanted to go see what their excuse for opening so damn late might be" this sounds a lot like a judgement to me, when will you launch an attack on all the other bike parks around BC for opening at the same time? Your article annoys me because of your lack of respect, Pinkbike should be ashamed to let angry diatribes that lack any semblance of factual, informative reporting feature on their website. There seems to be a theme in the comments about it, locals are angry and people who haven't been lucky enough to ride these amazing locations are interested. My experience of your article is that I will unfortunately not get the 5 minutes back I spent reading it. I hope the next time you write something you sound less like a dyslexic food critic, full of criticism with no skill in the presentation! Please, keep your experiences to yourself and be content in the knowledge that DCC has such a good reputation and quality of service that people here will laugh about your article and discredit the entire thing because of the rubbish you wrote.

It is about time somebody pointed out how good Whistler is, that kind of information is just so hard to come by! And what an incredible in depth review of Mount Washington, one I will come to rely on as I ride there this season. Thank you for enlightening us all saving us the expense of actually having to go to these places now. That will leave me with far more time to shop as you so beautifully chronicled in your "article". The ability to judge is an incredible thing, it is a privilege and a freedom for the person passing judgement but it has a power that used irresponsibly can cause huge damage to people and situations beyond an individual's understanding. I have just openly judged your article an in doing so undermined something you put effort and time into. I would like you to consider the ramifications of your comments and consider as to whether things were exacty as you describe or whether you, like I, were writing for effect?

To judge the hill at Mount Washington without ever having ridden there seems pathetic, influencing opinions of people who may never be lucky enough to ride the diamond in the rough on Vancouver Island. For all those out there it is a place to come to a build your own opinions of. For me and all I know, it is a far cry from the hedonism of Whistler and that is o.k. by us. As for the savage assessment of DCC, you were simply wrong. The village of Cumberland revolves around few things, bikes being right up there. DCC acts a a central hub for all things good in the town and, it is a place people are made to feel welcome and wanted, however small their need. Maps are sold for the benefit of those who need them, just like the phone is answered to people who get lost on the trails and need a route home. I have waited for 10 minute conversations to end, rapt in overhearing them as the staff exude excitement and enthusiasm for the ride they are describing for somebody to try. The shop has only ever made we want to go back. So please, enjoy the memories you now have, and it is a shame that you had some experiences or recollections that won't make you as happy. But I hope your judgements weren't based on as little as your rode at Mount Washington, were they? While what I have written is long I agree, I am speaking for a lot of people that live here and won't have had time to read this because they will be riding more and writing less, somehting you may consider before your next judgement.
