Pemberton is pretty sweet We have 87 trails all acessible by sigle track trails, no fire roads. stop by the bike co and grab a map and some sweet rasta socks ! we have all the hidden secrets.

My mother dislikes mountain biking and even SHE says I should ride Pemberton! Does riding happen year round there?

haha, goggles and all the little popping he did to get some air time, while the chick was like whatever dude lets just ride and not try to steeze it for the camera

I think he is popping off stuff for fun, not the camera. Having ridden with him this is pretty much how he always rides, camera or not. As for the goggles they have been surgically attached to his face, something about a metal shaving accident in junior high.

Eyes are the most exposed part of the body that will not heal if damaged. I don't blame him at all

Redrain that's not true your eye heals faster than any other organ of the body. Had a metal particle drilled out after less than 24 hours because my eye healed over it. This is what the ophthalmologist told me.

ericfrazer (Dec 24, 2014 at 13:02)

You are lucky. I should have been more specific. The retina cannot repair itself but parts of the eye can, if you lose the retina you are fucked. Trust me I know, my mom lost her sight in both eyes this year. There is some promising research into repairing the retina with stem cells, but if you lose the entire retina there is no way for this method to work.

Sorry to hear that that's horrible. Yeah the spec landed in my eye on the iris and I couldn't see it and when it was still hurting the next day I learned the hard way what has to happen.

I'm in the process of planning a trip next year with Oregon, Washington and BC. Pemberton is one of the areas I'm looking to hit up. What are some must-do trails that locals love?

SithBike (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:30)

DH or long all mountain rides?

desperatefordownhill (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:32)

overnight sensation and cream puff

cascadiac (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:57)

Blackrock mountain bike area, it is a must!! I practically lived there was I lived on that side of the Cascades.

yboc (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:16)

All mountain. I'll have a Patrol

MrDuck (Dec 23, 2014 at 14:10)

@Clamber Bob Gnarly would be my favourite in pembie, starts a bit DH worthy, but amazing, and turns into a super fun flowy trail halfway through. Pretty much everything on the same hill is amazing though, and if you wanna get a long fast descent in, make sure to check out Ressurectum. I ride that one on a DH bike only, but I see people ride it on XC bikes all the time.

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:07)

Cream Puff and Meat Grinder are the trails in the video, they have some really fun sections and some amazing views.

SithBike (Dec 23, 2014 at 18:57)

Comfortably Numb in Whistler. If you are looking for a longer trail. I find there is not enough like it.

As your preference is AM and you're coming from SLC, I'd hit up the Phil's Trails network just west of Bend; lots of interesting terrain from CC to FR (especially at The Lair and The Whoops), deeper shuttles into Phil's out of Pine Mt. Sports bike shop if that is your style. Love that place, plus you could run up to Bachelor for some lift-assist action if you like, tons of free camping west of Bend too (hit up McMenamins Old St. Francis school for a $5 big hot tub soak and a shower). As was mentioned above, Blackrock west of Salem is incredible for FR (all levels), as is Sandy Ridge east of Portland. Post Canyon is my favorite place in Hood River, anything from CC to FR and is a huge network of trails. Even a small place west of Portland called Stub Stewart that has a couple short (1/2 mile) low to mid-level FR stuff plus some nice CC trails.

It'll be an awesome trip.

Pemberton is awesome! The back drop of Mt Currie(?) is stunning, they have a really helpful bike shop where U can get at a trail map and other things. After the ride is done there is some good café's to chill at.

Whenever going to Whistler I suggest you make the trip up to Pemberton too!

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:07)

There is a Trail App that you can buy and download for your phone too. Helps a lot ...

ScandiumRider (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:23)

Haven't I already seen this video on the front page?

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:09)

We did a story with photos a while back, but this is the first the video has been shown.

cunning-linguist (Dec 24, 2014 at 2:14)

Owl-x that's what they'd look like on your cock... Needle dick! Who cares what width bars you run, so long as you're having fun. Can't believe anyone would have a personal preference different to yours?! What a strange world! MERRY XMAS ALL!

PAmtbiker (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:05)

For some reason my bucket list keeps getting longer.

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:13)

Pemberton should be on your bucket list for sure ...

X-hogboy-X (Dec 24, 2014 at 8:51)

I could have gone riding here last time I was in Vancouver, but no I chose to go present shopping for my family. Stupid me.

Does anyone know what the song is?

chillindrdude (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:00)

goggles seemed a little unnecessary. looked like it was just a social/fun ride.

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:09)

The weather report said rain, so for continuity the goggles stayed on.

ryanroberts (Dec 24, 2014 at 11:26)

and dirt can still get in your eyes, no beuno, goggles on!

mentalhead (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:53)

Great edit and great to see another girl shredin'

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:12)

Thanks

ogdhnut (Dec 23, 2014 at 19:04)

Only it's not fall now, it's the dead of winter. This vid is like the hot chick that you can't get.

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 20:23)

Still riding season in the PNW ...

diego-b (Dec 23, 2014 at 21:44)

Yeah these are defintely the type of videos @mikelevy was talking about in the latest poll...he was right too.

home-team (Dec 23, 2014 at 21:54)

@mikelevy poll? and i doubt he has ever been right ...

diego-b (Dec 24, 2014 at 7:00)

LOL yeah tthere was some poll about there not being enough trail riding on videos and it all being about hucks to falts and flips and whips

liamgileshanna123 (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:58)

Am I the only person who viewed this hoping for an epic crash...

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:08)

The epic crash is on the B side ...

emeraldo19 (Dec 23, 2014 at 16:02)

Then north of whistler is squamish, so many trails too love bc

jessman123 (Dec 23, 2014 at 16:08)

Squamish is south of whistler…

game (Dec 23, 2014 at 16:28)

lol

emeraldo19 (Dec 24, 2014 at 14:47)

Haha

superbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:40)

Was the 2nd bike in the vid a 29er ?

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:45)

Both bikes are 650b, 160mm travel, full carbon

superbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:16)

Cheers must be me 2nd bike the wheels looked bigger

mentalhead (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:40)

Indeed. I guess it's the small frame that makes the wheels looks so big.

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:06)

Beth is on a small frame and it is possible that is why the wheels look larger.

Joe27 (Dec 24, 2014 at 9:18)

Sweet vid! Wondering when I'll get to see this at the Polygon shop floor.

cascadiac (Dec 23, 2014 at 12:12)

That really rocked!!

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:06)

thanks

RichoDay (Dec 24, 2014 at 23:33)

The makers of this should watch the latest Matt Hunter video.

Polygonbikes (Dec 25, 2014 at 10:43)

I think their budget was a little bit higher than ours.

Below threshold threads are hidden

owl-X (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:49)

HER BARS ARE SO SKINNY HER HANDS ARE PRACTICALLY CROSSED OMG

wydopen (Dec 24, 2014 at 5:41)

Cool video but I was thinking the same thing the whole time...People do need to realize that their bar width has to be relative to their bodies...The trend of everyone slapping 800mm bars on every bike is kinda silly...do a pushup and have someone measure the outside of your hands...thats how wide your bars should be...most average hight people will be in the 740-760 range...(commence the down votes)

Polygonbikes (Dec 24, 2014 at 15:50)

Bike was built up that morning with her sponsors parts and we did not have time to fit test the bars. They have been cut down since the edit was shot.

owl-X (Dec 23, 2014 at 13:08)

SHE NEEDS WAY BIGGER BARS

PAmtbiker (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:04)

Pretty sure she knows what size bars she needs...

Hyakian (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:11)

lulz

Polygonbikes (Dec 23, 2014 at 15:11)

owl-X are you being sarcastic? I think she actually cut some off her bars after shooting this video.
