Dear EpicTV. For the first 30 seconds of this video, I had roughly 4 fps, because you were loading a GoPro ad. Then during the final half-minute, your incredibly annoying and ultimately stupid rating system blocked the top 1/5th of the screen.
And people thought the Red Bull player was bad. I f*cking hate Epic TV's bullshit. Regardless, that was an insane video. Those rock rolls were intense. I've gotta throw this in, not sure if its the same area but there's a vid on here of someone riding the most insane double rock roll I've ever seen. The second roll has a stump just before it that the rider has to avoid. Anyone have any idea? Its absolute insanity.
@jabrones, nope i don't have one and i for sure don't want one... but i am old school. i rather watch riders who can ride in edits which are well done than whatever raw material i would produce riding around on depressing trails in LA...
@byubound, I think the point is that the rating system totally interrupts the flow of watching the video, especially if you have to close it to free up your screen. I hate these type of pop-up's.
Wow, just wow. I remember riding a similar trail off of a trail called "Entrails" up there. I "rode" most of it. Way over my skill level. Big granite rock drops, ladders, etc... Amazing ride though what I could ride. Just showed how much better of a rider I could be. Squamish rocks.
Treasure trail is insane but it's a pretty high level one (even the chicken passes), Rupert is awesome but pretty busy sometimes...Anyway, whatever the trail it is, whatever your level is...Squamish is...The greatest place on earth for biking. (my favorites are Cakewalk and Somewhere Over There) And this video is.....very inspiring !
Alice Lake - Entrails land - Squamish One Zone - so much to offer
Easiest to hardest with granite rock-rolls 1) Room with a view 2) Rupert 3) Boney Elbows 4) Gouranga 5) Value Added - Penthouse 6) Hueso 7) Intestinal fortitude - only one slab but its a sphincter tightener. Treasure Trail 9) Larvacide - Gem trail that sees no traffic
Thanks for the ego boost. I rode three of those trails, cleaning the features on the first run this summer. Didn't even know what I was getting into. Just followed the leader... (Ok, technically I left a little flesh up there, so it wasn't entirely clean.)
For the list I mean. Crampit has awesome rock zones and Banzai Pipeline is in a zone all of itself too. Don't forget to support SORCA everyone who loves these trails
I thought homeboy invented a new trick at 2:31 that would surely be called the "bar-turn, ball grab". Alas, it was your run of the mill massive step-down seat grab to invisible landing through dense trees. Still impressed. SAVAGE film? yes
He's having a stab. A clicked t-bog involves boning the whole bike forward, which naturally results in the bars turning, which I am assuming bvd453 was poking fun at. Still, to do it on the stepdown on that trail, ballsy!
Rode in Squamish in July, and it was freaking great. However, it's a really small town, so I don't think the job prospects are too good, and driving from Vancouver was a traffic nightmare. I also rode My. Fromme and Cumberland, which were equally good. I wish we could have well built expert level public trails like these here in CO.
Yeah, I guess it depends on which side of the city you are on. Driving through the city sucks (at least in July when I was there).
We simply can't have jumps or wooden features on trails in CO, they just aren't allowed on public trails. Illegal trails are much more difficult to hide here due to less dense forest unless they are really out in the boonies, plus I doubt illegal trails would ever approach the quality of those in Squamish and Cumberland. The features are extremely well thought out, and not the kind of thing a group of 5 people is going to put together over a couple of weekends.
teton pass, unspoken north shore if you can afford it. hear nothin but eagles in the mornin. hitchin is a bit tougher than N Van but not much. Screw CO.
I love mountain bikes. I love short videos like this that can remind me of that, pass along some vicarious joy, and stoke me for my mountin bike ride to work tomorrow am (also love where I live).
Beautiful trails....seriously, I was more impressed with the trails and scenery more than anything. I live in Socal where it's a dust bowl and love anytime I get to ride in anything green.
Yes! Trail riding is what you make it! Today's trail bikes can handle DH at speed with a skilled rider....
Just throw a leg over a Banshee Spitfire and you'll know whatsup.
Great work guys. Some of those 'from below' angles really play down the severity of the exposure... I think I held my breath for a solid minute. Jeremy = absolute Rager
I plan on picking up one of the new Bell Super 2R helmets for the 'all mountain' trails. Just remove the chin bar for the uphill and reattach for the gnarlier downhill stuff. Dental work is so expensive.... ;-)
Kick rocks.
anyway same result, no advertisement need
