INTO THE GNAR Episode 5 down one of the gnarliest trail in the world, aka: TRESPASSER!!!
Every year, people try to find it and when they do, they try to ride it, Yoann Barelli shows you how to approach this beast and gives you few tips on how to judge if your are ready to shred it !!
What seemed to be an educational video at the beginning became something hilarious, the typical Barelli's way.

When I eventually get to Whistler, forgive me if I "accidentally forget" to make time to do this run!!
Best of luck with the rest of the EWS season
Hugs to Jaxon and to your family
Very fun video, gnarly root lines, I see a few walks in there for this guy.
Singing = 0%
But still impressive to combine that on this trail...
Very impressive riding and filming (walking the track x times)
A lot of riders run their brake levers flat or close to it for two reasons.
1- When you are hanging off the back of the bike down a super steep section your levers are in a better position rather than having to roll your wrists up and forward to reach them
2- When you are landing drops and jumps the force goes through your palm and up through your forearm rather than through your thumb making you more stable and less likely to blow off the bars or break a thumb.
It feels f*ckin weird though.
I race XC and run my brakes pretty high. We're not braking on the climbs and running your brakes higher up allows for a more linear position(ie confident) when your ass is behind the seat.
Try it. After 15-20min of awkwardness you'll notice a difference and can dial in the brake lever position.
gnarliest in the world? Nah
