Bike Park Whales has.a new expert jump trail, but it’s less like Whistler’s Crabapple Hits and more like Châtel’s Vink Line. And it just might look better on film than either.

We get to watch Greenland make some art on Vanta for a couple minutes, but then follow the Bike Park Whales crew as they plan out the trail, discuss strategy and survive some harrowing guinea-pig runs.
