Video: Aaron Chase - Through My Eyes: Squamish

Dec 24, 2014 at 2:28
by Red Bull Bike  


"The forest out here in British Columbia is magical," said Chase. "The trees are huge, the trails are steep, and you’re doing whatever it takes to keep your tires on."

The ride begins on a steep mossy rock-roll worthy of any Coast Mountain edit, but then things quickly step up a notch. With freeride icon Brett Tippie along to stoke the session, Chase’s legendary riding skills are showcased hitting up a precise, high-consequence log-ride-to-drop built and pioneered by Darren Berrecloth.

To finish, Chase and eventually Tippie send a ridiculous gap jump over a creek. “The consequences are super high," said Chase of the trail's most robust feature. "You’re field-goaling between two trees and there’s a pretty ninja pump track to get into it.”

 If I could be even half as stoked as Tippie is I would be the happiest guy around. I love his energy and excitement to ride his bike.

 Wasn't there a 2012/2013 edit that ended with a lil grom casing the landing to this gap hard as balls?

 I puckered at the log roll!!!, and that creek gap, looked like a narrow landing and sketchy run up.

 I don't know if it was just because I was watching it without sound ( I don't know why that would matter) but the video kept going into so mo right before the jump and I would think, he's not going to make it!

 That log ride is crazy. I remember seeing this footage on the GoPro 3 launch video, so this must have been filmed a while ago... Can anyone explain what they are doing with the torch on the log ride?

 My first connotation with Squamish is a fishing mecca, but I learned about really attractive, wild trails there, with the famous tree drop, so I enjoyed the video very much.
