In episode 1, we head to one of the best riding towns in all of British Columbia. In early March, Dexter receives his highlighter yellow M9. Fresh with excitement, we spend the day, amidst towering tree's and staggering views, attempting to capture the feeling of how a new bike performs. Silent, and crisp. Choosing one of the nicest days of early spring, and finishing it off with quite a spectacular sunset, in true Squamish fashion. And possibly gorging on some Fat Burger.

We've made a few trips to Squamish over the years, and have shot an excessive amount of sunset shots. It seems every evening invokes this type of light.

Perfect riding conditions, making it easy to lean it over.

 nice bike specs, nice quality of pictures, nice place ... but it's just trail riding with a 240mm DH bike;
and the GOPRO shots are a bit messy ... just saying...

 Ahhh the recent rains making it impeccable I assume? At least that's how it was in Hood River Thursday, with a lucky break in the 2 week rain period... haha. It's so dry that even with a fair amount of rain, it's tacky and incredible to rip. I've also been told that the high winds help dry it out quick as well.... such a crazy area... it's like the perfect version of the ec. No mosquitoes or the West Nile virus along with the old, massive trees makes it the ec on roids.

 I felt like the chesty was aimed down too far, I couldn't really see what was in front of him

 I'm sorry but this is weak sauce, I know this trail and you can rip it on a dirtjumper let alone an m9. Music was fully gay and I can't stand any more shots of dudes standing next to the trail with their bike, are you trying to be a model?
  • 4 1
 um have you ever seen Dexter? He makes male models look like shit. Can you say Man-Dime?
  • 4 1
 I do what I can.

 Why did they hit these trails? I was up there a couple weeks back and saw way better trails than that that was basically just a XC ride on a DH bike

 I would love to see you ride a bike on any trail, on any bike better then Dex.

 Not much in this video, but in so many dh videos there is so much walking with your bike up to the top of the trail, and it gets quite repetitive.

 To z man anytime kid for your info i am used to riding in all terrain steep and rocky is my specialty
  • 2 2
 I think he should be riding their am bike rather than a DH that M9 should be on some gnarly steep terrain I think nice try kid!!! Maybe u shouldn't be so cocky spoiled kid.

 I would love to see you ride a bike on any trail, on any bike better then Dex. Not to mention this was shot in march, and he just got his M9. not many big bike trails are ridable in march. But i guess you'd know that if you read the article.

 I dont knw about that but most of the trails that we ride around march are pretty rideable,a little greasy,wet and muddy but it only makes it more fun and technical you should know that if you re an all year rider.
