Video: Riding Vancouver Island's 'Mini Squamish' with Rémy Métailler

 It may be called Hind Grinder now, but it's actual original name was Grinder. The entrance was off the original Breathless and you had to hike and bike across the hill to get to the original entrance which was a high up large log that had to be ridden across a chasm.

 @bansheeridermike: Correct on the old traverse and log crossing, but when I rode it the first time in 98 I was told it was called Hind Grinder. Over the years I heard it shortened to Grinder. I was actually happy to hear Dean call it the original name.

 @bondomonga: Yes I remember the old log crossing! I think even the original name was longer, I believe it was "Captain Hindgrinder's Highway" , then Hindgrinders then just Grinder lately. It's a legendary trail that I'm glad continues to evolve and be fun.

 @dean: I used to ride with the dude who cut it in and have watched its namesake porn vid as well - I’m pretty sure you’re correct on this one.

 For better or worse, it's now a flow trail. Nothing like how it was 'back in the day.' Which is fine! The builders and trail crew did an excellent job reinventing the trail.

 @sancho-ramerez: I was talking with a younger guy who lives out on the Island and mentioned it to him, the way he talked about the trail had me feeling like it had been drastically changed since I last saw it around 2010. This certainly explains why it seemed like he was talking about a totally different trail. Those lips they had back then were scary, we would hike our DH bikes around the dump to ride.
