Video: Remy Metailler & Alex Chapellier Tackle Gnarly Features & Talk About Risk Management

Apr 18, 2024
by Rémy Métailler  

For today's video, I head to some less ridden spots in Squamish to ride with my buddy Alex Chapellier.

We talk about riding technique, but also risk and how to best approach these type of rides where things can go really wrong really quick.

 The repercussions of a botched roll/line on some trails is not worth the risk. Weighing the elation of completing a feature vs. living to ride another day is something only the rider can decide. Most...actually all the people I ride with understand this and nobody will goad someone on to try something they are uncomfortable with.
Ride safe, everyone

 If something makes you feel anxious, don't do it. The day you roll up to it and don't feel anxious, send.

 The feature will always be there. Make sure you are too.

 Have we done a pro bar width survey yet? Maybe it’s just me but feels like a lot of them are well under 800.

 there was an EWS survey a little bit ago, 750 i think was the most common.

 It’s a lot narrower than people think. I did some looking it to and decided to cut mine shorter based on an article I read. I was running full 800 and went to 770 and it’s been great. All the benefits people talk about riding the correct width bars have been true in my experience.
