Agreed.

Yet people in the city had to sit in offices designing and making the bikes, components, the contour used for filming, and the computer(s) used to make this. Also a bunch of programmers & developers stuffed in a building had to write the software they're using.

When life was "simpler", we also didn't have the rad machines we have today.

Amazing area. Probably would go with different bikes that I could carry gear on so it's not all on my back. Those packs looked awkward as hell.

This is where mountain biking fairy tales happen. There is gold in those mountains. Unicorns too. I'm sure many will agree.

Hey you don't need to ride with the big packs, we've got camps right around the corner from there where you can ride in with just your change of clothes... oh and there are also 3 day routes without the big hike a bikes, ask us! Check out our Backcountry Accommodations; tyaxair.com/Tours_and_Flights/Backcountry_Accommodations or guided trips and let us do the heavy packing for you!

Very nice. Those packs looked really heavy though.
If anyone out there wants to ride the Chilcotins this summer via float plane...and a little Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton and Vancouver's North Shore look us up! ridebig.com/trip_canada_seatosky.php

I am glad you posted the link to your website - I forgot to book mark it when I saw it a while back. Switzerland and Peru are the top two locations on my list of places to travel with bikes, so that looks pretty good.

I was planning on trying to hit the Chilcotins this summer. I live pretty close so I can ride Whistler, Squamish, and the NS on any weekend. That said, taking a float plane to the Chilcotins sounds awesome! Do you guys do day trips?

GAH. Huge packs. Tough to ride with bags that big and heavy - went on a bike-hike-camp trip a last FEB and we rode with 20 to 30 pound packs. Fun time downhill but we had to push and carry our bikes up half the time. And having to run the shocks with higher PSi kinda made the descent not as fun. But the trip was GREAT overall haha. I can only imagine what it'd be like to have THIS kind of trip. Love the scenery.

Great Video and soundtrack! But really...who needs those vistas, trails, mountains, nature, whatever...when I can admire the plastic quality of the view inside my office and the industrial quality of the view outside my office in Toronto any and everyday?

their bags shrunk considerably about 20 seconds in.... strange. reminds me of that winter series where they camped and rode steel hardtails. Every picture, movie, every thing about it showed them with a 10l camelbak... not exactly the height of realism. To be fair in this it did show them with the big bags but it still didn't look a huge lot of a fun, they were rather wobbly!

vancouver-bound (Apr 29, 2013 at 22:37)

Don't get me wrong, it was a good video. And I do appreciate the effort. It keeps me from wasting time on failblog. But the quality was really good right up until there.

This is of course a bigger problem then just your video. It is important for all of us to demand better standards. Bad spelling has really started to creep it's way into the professional world (of all areas of society) and that is a problem. We have the technology and the knowledge so there is no excuse not to use it.

These days we all need to just slow down a bit and check ourselves before we finish ideas, projects, and/ or sentences.

Great video though. (And I am just after spelling, context, and basic grammar. If it is spelled right and reads right then I'm happy)
