Video: Christening the Forbidden Dreadnought in Nelson, BC

 Lets see it endurbro

 Nelson is one of those places that looks super chill on video and in photos. It's only when you are there and looking down the chutes that you realize how steep and fast it is. On my BC roadtrip from this summer, Nelson was definitely the steepest riding, and arguably the best/ most fun. I'm very happy I rode my DH bike there over my trail bike. There's a reason most of the locals there only own DH bikes.

 @leon-forfar: totally agree... Rad times there last summer riding some of the steepest tracks ever for me. On a 150/160 mullet that kept me honest too. Can't wait to get back there.

 @leon-forfar: Just keep your eyes closed. Then it feels waaay less steep lol!

 @leon-forfar: Who do you take us for? One type of bike? Ya gotta also have a solid enduro bike, your old heavy freeride sled, maybe a hardtail as well a bmx, a road bike that never gets ridden, a few random frames, maybe even a deposit on a bike that'll be here at some unspecified future date, boxes of old bike parts, and if you're lucky, a partner who just shakes their head and refuses to listen about your thoughts on bike geometry.

 Can't decide if said tongue in cheek. Please advise.

 @Maestroman87: it's what usually lame people do to try to deter people to come and ride their trail network and they dont understand people dont buy it and make the opposite effect.

 @ybsurf: I don't know...the extra swing at the trailbuilders seems unnecessary if it was simply about sarcastically shunting visitors away from your local gold.

 @iammarkstewart: unless they are one of the trail builders and it was self-deprivation for comedic effect for those in the know? I don't know if this is true...just a guess. Either way...Nelson is the best ever and everyone should go there. Really the only place in the West Kootenays one needs to check out (that was tongue and cheek...not about Nelson being rad... it is... just about not checking out other places in the West Kootenays also)

 @Maestroman87:

As a HARDCORE ENDURO MTB RIDER myself, I prefer flowy trails with grade reversals and with "side-hits" for me to "pop" off. I got into mountain biking 3 years ago when I realized it was the latest cool thing to do, like ski touring! Trails shouldn't be too technically challenging because riding with knee pads doesn't look as cool and you're not as mobile on technical climbs. Riding with a full face is out of the question because I just got a sweet new turquoise FOX DROPFRAME helmet and I need it to pop in my Instagram posts.

I was riding an unsustainable, dusty, death rut in Nelson once and bumped into some trail builders. They weren't building a grade reversal and they didn't immediately drop everything they were doing to get out of my way. I found out later that one of them even kicked my dog and slept with my wife!

No thanks - I'm going to stick to the Sea-to-Sky from now!

 @skimtb1: Loud and clear, hahaha.

 @Maestroman87: Indeed. I believe I'm properly informed and am disappointed I fell for this.

 Hey Bikeparkmemes, we actually do have a license for the music, and intentionally worked with a small local Vancouver island artist. We're a huge fan of Standard Issue Pleasure Model's music, and music is a really important part of our brand. A goal of ours is to support and promote local talent as much as possible.

 @ForbiddenBike: YouTube says you haven't licensed it but thanks for the response, doing the right thing and in turn making me look like an ass.

 @bikeparkmemes: Bonus upvotes for open-mindedness and self-awareness.
