Video: Remy Metailler Rides the Sentiers Du Moulin Trails in Quebec

Aug 16, 2023 at 22:52
by Rémy Métailler  

After checking Empire 47, I moved a few kilometers away to check out the world's famous Sentiers Du Moulin.

Not only the place was beautiful, I also felt at home right away with all that granite and slabs! The terrain is surprisingly close to what you find in Squamish, on the other side of the country. There are a large of selection of trails but on this video I focused on the famous slabs because of the weather. I ended up going back a week later to check out the rest.

Looking forward to heading back there next year, perhaps for a new projectSmile

 The GoPro effect does not give it justice and the fact they rode it wet at that speed. Wow. If you have not been there put it on your bucket list.

 Visited from the southeast USA with a group. E47, sentiers du Moulin and a few spots near Montreal. Incredible trip! Quality of trail building is super high, with the price of admission for the trail centers. Then went and watched some of the world cup DH at Mont Saint Anne!

 Hooked on Remy's stuff lately, all the trails look unreal and so much different than my local trails.

 How do they ride corners on wet wood like that? That's just not possbile in real life.
Do canadian planks come with sand glued to the surface?

 In BC it tends to be a bit easer as the wood is predominantly cedar and doesn't get as slimy and slick (though is still slippery of course). In Quebec, it's just slippery as hell and these guys are very good at what they're doing. It's impressive.

 Panic grip, that stuff's even more awe than the wet rocks. We've gotten pouring rain out here in the northeast every 2 or 3 days this summer, so can't fault them - they handled what was thrown at them masterfully.

 No, they'd be slippery as heck! haha You hear Remy repeatedly saying that he's scared on the wood. Impressive riding

 Insane, heading there for the first time in a week and I'm beyond stoked.

 I'm suffering from second hand stoke over here. You'll love it, E47/SDM/VBN some of my favourite places to ride. Can't compete with the food in quebec either.

 Room for another? Lol

 It's been pouring rain 5 days a week for over 2 months now here. The all-time summer rainfall record is already smashed and still one month to go. BUT, next week forecast is dry!!! Call that luck or karma, but anyhow, enjoy!

 Those are amazing trails. The slab action just keeps going and going wow

 That pump track at the end of the video has a playground jungle gym next to it. Little kids have something to do while the big kids and parents ride. It's genius!

 What you don’t see is all the little rippers killing it there! SDM is unreal and worth the trip (the lack of a lift keeps the place not too overcrowded)

 Remy's riding is insane. really wish he wouldn't promote that piece of shit company Backcountry.com/Competitive Cyclist that sued tons of small businesses, including safety and education businesses, and orgs that focused on getting more women into backcountry sports, because they had the word "backcountry" in their business name.

 Do they have to drill into the rock to make foundations eg for houses? Seems like the rock is everywhere
  • 2 0
 not every house. but some. In some location if you want a basement they need to dynamyte the ground. it make for some solid foundation!

 Is it true that French speakers don't speak the same french that is spoken in eastern Canada?
  • 7 1
 People speaking French in (eastern) Canada *are* French speakers.

 Is it true that people in Texas don't speak the same french as people in Vermont, or south Africa and Scotland... I think you can figure out the answer to your question. A matter of degree and perspective. In the same city, for example, east London cockney accent , syntax, vocabulary, differs vastly from the accent at Buckingham palace..

 Yeah back in my home town of Shrewsbury in England people don't even speak the same English a mile apart.
"Hello Sir! How are you?" "Reet Mon! 'Ow bist?" They are can't even agree on how to pronounce the town name. Shrewsbury, Shoosbury, Shrowsbury, Salop.....

 @uponcripplecreek: Oui, do wot guvna, knock it on thee ed ya bleedin' Muppet, jolly fine old chap.

 Yes, it's also true that French spoken in eastern Canada "Quebec" is a little different than French spoken in Atlantic Canada.

 Quebec is a poor place to be a novice French speaker - they speak very quickly There compared to in France.

 @pbandjam: we speak as quickly as we ride!!

 Same-ish french. There are some nouns and verbs that are uniquely quebecoise. Also Quebec people speak fast and often throw in random English into conversation. I'm sure Remy got along just fine with his France french.

 @wake-n-rake: "Hello Sir! How are you!" When were you last there, the 1800s? These days a better example of common UK speech is more like: "STop The BOats!", "Stop The Europe!", "Stop the Climate!"

 @pbandjam: no, they don't speak "quickly". A language often sounds "quick" for a profane or a beginner who starts to learn it, that's all.
People often say that Spanish and Italians speak fast whereas they just speak normally.

 Parisienne French, Quebecois French and Acadian French are all of the same Mother tongue. Just raised very differently in very different homes.

 @pbandjam: I would say quite the opposite.

 @pbandjam: My dad is from Switzerland. I am born in Québec. Some family from France just came here on the last 3 weeks and my dad said the kids were speaking too fast, he didn't understand well. Okay, he is also getting old but anyway...to say that I also think the opposite, they tend to speak a bit faster in France. That being said, like somebody else wrote, it's more because when you're a beginner in a language, it sounds quick because you're not good enough. Same for me in english, when americans speak, it's so fast but do you guys feel like they speak too fast?!? lol

 @danstonQ: I was comparing. My Canadian immersion kids spent a week in Quebec last summer and a week in France this. Their perspective is their own, but it remains a 100% legitimate experience.
