Follow Dexter Robson as he takes you through some of his local trails on Salt Spring Island. The island is home to a diverse community of artists, labourers, agricultural producers, and a subset of mountain bikers. The local mountain bike community is primarily cross-country oriented, and the trails demonstrate this physical riding style.
The physicality involved in accessing the trails coupled with the inaccessibility of Salt Spring creates a unique environment free of other riders. A benefit of island life is a climate moderated by the ocean, leading to warmer temperatures. Salt Spring is also in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island, so expect the trails to be relatively dry.

Although the edit was shaky... I think that's the point when the title states: "On a Raw Diet". It's good to see something different.

weebleswobbles - Actually when there are no burms and leafs making it lose you can commit to more corner speed by taking a foot off IMO...
Thread jack- why does the enduro world want the fresh cut tracks these days? whats wrong with all the fantastic built trails with features etc to reward the ballsy rider vs the guy that can pedal the most?
maybe weebles can show up and wobbles his ars on the bike and start making a case for his theory. The Santa fe race will have plenty of bermless, tight, LOOSE corners! All good banter folks. It's definitely January with not much biking in the future hence the bored folks like me plucking away on the boards
I'd say those trails looked and sounded slow.
The filming: good.
Riding: pretty good.
Trail: Clearly too much pedaling
You guys just need to get a track with some vertical.
Here ya go. Need hardtail action more than I like to admit. Wonky, fast hardtail 29er shredding. Can't afford a second bike (I wish a 29er SS) so I watch this shiz and every video on Chromags website, constantly
I should read the preface more often, then I'd have realized he was working his arse off...which is what most trail rides are.
