BCPOV's Best BC Trails of 2017

Jan 3, 2018
by Eric  


You'd be forgiven for saying that British Columbia is the mountain bike capital of the world. Take one look at Trailforks and you can see that BC is absolutely covered in trails with, currently, a whopping 8645 different tracks! The next closest province or state is California with 5299 trails. In fact, BC alone beats out every other country with the exception of the USA.

So with all those trails, there must be a few decent ones, right? Correct! I strapped on a gimbal and a GoPro to my chest and went on a mission to record the best trails I could find and share them with the world. And boy did I find them! Here are my best BC trails of 2017!

 Audican. Agreed, no crappy music, just the sound of tires and hard effort, and great POV filming.

 On that note, can we get Eric as a genuine trail content God of Trailforks / Pinkbike @canadaka and @brenthillier? I say, why not? Heck, maybe BCPOV might even visit the states once he's done with BC, but that'll take a decade or two!

 Started up the crash video of 2017 and my daughter has one she wanted to see, thankfully it was in there. Trying to explain that to her would've been tough... She's not even 3 yet! "Ooh red bike is BC" she says LOL!

 Haha! Well it's going to be a blue bike soon, so you'll have have to re-train her!

 My daughter loves crash videos. She laughs her ass off. Shes 3 as well and cant comprehend that people are getting hurt. I had to talk to her when we went to the skate park by our house. She kept pointing and laughing at people when they didn't land a trick or fell. Talk about parenting 101. HAHAHA

 Looks like you had a good year! I watched a lot of your stuff staring from the spring at the BCES in Penticton. Open invite to come back to the Okanagan and ride some more rock slabs.

 Looks like you're too old for a working holiday visa, but since you're from the uk it's easier. It'll help to have a job lined up over here Smile

 How has the trespasser video not made it?
  • 1 0
 It's one of those that sorta should be kept more on the down low! If you've ever ridden it, you'd probably understand why it's not for everyone.

 @boxxerace: it looks horrible but I’ve never ridden it.
