The North Shore is having a rebirth of sorts these days. Instead of the slippery skinnies that defined the Shore's birth, a new wave of fast, flowy, and fun trails are making their way to the spotlight. These trail building efforts are led by both the NSMBA's TAP Project, as well as a new generation of Vancouver riders. Racing for Bond Training and Major Cycles, Daniel Shaw is at the forefront of this movement, putting in serious trail work time on everything seen in this video, from his personal training track to the NSMBA built Boogie Nights.


Special Thanks to Bond Training

 Probably one of my favourite edits from the recent bunch of North Shore edits. Is it just me or does the forest just look a little bit more eerie than all of the rest?

 Yeah that really was shyte. Also hate the fact it's okay for black people to say n*gger all the time, but whites can't?? That's more racist than the word itself! Bloody hate that type of music...

  • 74 13
 @cunning-linguist: Wow, so RACIST that black people have taken ownership over a word that was once used to spread hatred, to now convey brotherhood. Fair play if you don't love Kanye, but man, please look at the history of the N Word before spouting nonsense.

 @MaxBerkowitz: Dude that's such bullshit! There are plenty of white idiots walking around using the word that don't get it which further spreads prejudice. It shouldn't be o.k. for anyone to say.
@cunning-linguist is hardly racist for stating that opinion.

IMHO hip hop has become a joke and a parody of itself anyway....music that appeals to the lowest common denominator.

 @cunning-linguist: As one of the very few black mountain bikers on Pinkbike, I have never met a fellow mountain biker I didn't like you sir are the first.

 @Dustfarter: It's great that you have an opinion because it implies that you think. But in MY opinion, you must only be hearing mainstream stuff because there is such a rich vein of underground hip hop running that you should connect with before ragging on a whole style. Just sayin', holmes.

 I guess this is a Kanye song?
Must be good then.

 @CRAFTY-P: You're right. I guess I am really referencing mainstream hip hop. Like everything in life there are layers. Getting down voted by a bunch of kids on here is hardly surprising..... Smile

 @chadd25: it was by no means a racist comment, so wind your neck in!

It was purely an observation of facts. And surely you can understand that it does seem a little off grid don't you think?

And cheers for the heads up Max, they don't teach history in the UK! Yes I am aware of the history or if not have passed comment! As an observation though, I feel I am correct?
  • 1 2
 What I'm trying to say is, I've never personally said I hate you, just that music. I'd not ever dream of playing music like that to my kids. It's either racist or it isn't so, I agree with dustfather, nobody should use the word. It will only widen any divide. So my comment was not intended to seem racist. It's actually anti racist.

 Cant even watch the video, 10 seconds in and screaming with anger at that total....... Sooner he goes the way of the dodo the better, especially if he takes trump with him.

 @cunning-linguist: This is a mountain biking site if you don't like the music fine. But you went out of your way to try and make a statement about black culture . And no I am not saying that your just because your not black that you cant have an opinion on black culture, you just don't have an informed one and don't think Pinkbike is definitely not the place for it. And no I dont think your a racist I just think you are ignorant.

BTW I don't particularly enjoy the all music (Scream-O/ Heavy Death Metal ) on every bike video I watch. So you know what I do : I STFU and watch the video anyway and appreciate the fact that people spend their time and resources making in the video middle of the woods where there a bears and mountains lions just so I can watch a free video in my home. Just Sayin'

 @chadd25: Fair play dude, I've always loved bikes and for the same reasons appreciate any video regardless of the talent showcased.

unfortunately everyone has an opinion no matter how misguided this may be, your opinion of my opinion is different to others, as shown by some support to my theory in the comments too. However i felt strongly that you'd dislike me for such a statement of fact. perhaps if there were an explanation whereby every man and his dog could understand the reasoning behind what can all too easily be perceived as influential music, having this sort of lyric then okay. But to me its like a tennis shot, its either in or its out. And from my perspective that word is most certainly out, so why shouldn't that be the case all through.

Hope you catch my drift & that i wasn't aiming to create enemies, I just think this word along with many others meaning the same should be in the past, not splayed all over for the next generations to tag on to. Just my two pennies...

 @trailmedik: i like a good rock in video. But yeah it s good to hear something else than rock. We should be glad that there s no more dubsteb (my god i hate that music). Lately it s a trend with a hip hop song in a video. I like that but it s just retardet to follow a trend and than put some kanye-lil wayne-autotune shit in a video. In my opinion.
Anyway do whatever you want it s not mine video.
P.s. How are you up there in murica?

 @Jurchek: i agree no more dubstep , i agree no more autotune pretty please, and lil wayne is pouring Cristal on Samsung phones lol, M.U.R.I.C.A. is good. Oh can't forget Black Thought from the Roots and Royce Da 5 9.

 nice video, terrible choice in music. Kanye West is a F***in ignorant conceited loser who thinks he is some sort of a god among men. And his music has no rhythm.

 This is like a living version of a mountain biking dream. He's just floating on the trail, effortless. VOD.

 Funniest part for me, out of all the drops and jumps he hit... the only feature that had me scared was that rock armored berm!! He was coming into it and I can just see this wet wall of rocks and am thinking "hell no mate, slow down your going to slide out" and then he rips it like a normal dirt berm

 Bingo. I got physically uneasy when I saw those wet rocks. I want to know what tires he's rocking

 @MaxBerkowitz the video was rad man and the music definitely didn't suck. Regardless of the artist and all the whining i thought the flow of the music matched the style of the video and the flow of the rider. Nice work man!

 Heck yeah dude! Everyone has different taste in music, but I make videos that I want to watch, so it's super cool when people feel the vibes as well. Really appreciate it!

 Honestly I love the whole album and this song is dope. Yeah it's not a typical song that you'd hear in a mountain bike edit, but I think it paces the flow of the video well. And I'm all for something a little different.
  • 13 6
 Great riding, filming, build, and location. Worst taste in a song that I've ever heard on Pink. But whatevs if you like it.

 Not a fan of the super wide buffed out trails at the end, but that's just me. I'll take natural terrain thanks. Also not a fan of the music. I guess that makes me old on two fronts.

 So from this video I've learned that the North Shore is back...and with it all of the idiotic drivel that is "Pinkbike Comments Section". It's 2002 all over.
