Video: Ace Hayden Blasts BC Trails Onboard the New Aluminum Capra
Words: YT Industries
BC homeboy Ace Hayden might just well be one of the most underrated riders out there. In his latest project Ace sends it in the dauntingly awesome edit ‘Shred-it’. YT Industries teamed up with the Canadian and Rupert Walker for the atmospheric video which was filmed in Ace Hayden’s ‘backyard’ on Vancouver Island.
The 28-year-old moved to British Columbia with his parents at the age of 15 which led him to discover mountain biking and his passion for two wheels. Hayden sends anything from dirt bikes to downhill rigs with impeccable style and in this latest project the Canadian takes on BC’s trails on the aluminum Capra Shred – YT’s only series MTB with a coil shock.
 | I’m someone who loves to laugh and have a good time with my people, so a good time on the bike for me is just riding a great spot, with great people and no pressure. Growing up we would have a camera out almost every sesh, no matter if it was to make something serious or a goon video. I don’t race or compete because that isn’t my vision of what MTB is to me. I like having my own vision and trying to create it and show people what I think is cool, rather than just trying to be better than someone else on a certain day. |
| I live between Duncan and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, so I’m central to a lot of amazing riding. We shot this video mostly in Duncan. I love any trail that’s pinned with rad corners, jumps, and some steeps. Either super tacky or super loose. The CAPRA Shred is a fast, capable, dialed, and solid beast. I find a coil will almost always feel nicer than an air shock. I think coil feels more natural and can make a bike feel more capable. On my downhill bike, I run a little stiffer coil since I’m mostly riding bike parks or jump lines, so the stiffer coil is better in those places. Whereas, on my trail bike I go a little lighter to sit in the bike a bit more, and have it respond to the roots and more tech style trails. |

I’m not surprised.
The "Man with the head of a Black Goat" aka, "Baphomet Sabbatic Goat" was made the official symbol representing Satan himself by the church of Satan in 1960.
It is actually an ancient Pagan Deity symbol associated with the Occult and Witchcraft with connections to islam.. it was worshipped by the original Knights Templars.
Me? University of Black metal.
Prove me wrong.
On a different note, that Capra is a beast of a bike, and the riding was rad!
Learn how to form a sentence and spell words correctly American.
He obviously didnt go to any college, because he doesn't know how to spell Lmao...
I take it you know very little about Christianity then... because the only religions that spread fear constantly in this ever changing current society are paganism, satanism and radical muslimism, not my opinion, but actual facts mate...
Allow me to use your own PB profile statement: "Whadiyatalkinabeet?"
Muslimism is a religion, islam is an idea. That's the real fact, american. But I can understand why you changed from catholic to agonistic or whatever TF, catholic church is full of pedophiles.
Guess what? I asked that same question when I read the opinionated comment that you made. Does it feel good snooping around other people's profiles? I bet it does... Why is it that all Americans try to push a narrative or afagile point, but sound dumb when they do...
Afigile or not, just remember that the Internet is an imaginary kingdom where I am you master.
Haha, cracking me up Lmao...
Gonna go hang with the blokes, get on the pokes, have some smokes and get cokes mate, arggh!
