@@d-nicebikes I don’t know what you’re talking about 😂

😂 not your typical tips ;) hope you enjoyed.

@@vincentwarner9518 glad we ran into each other 🤘

And it took a team of firefighters to get it done ;)

Teamwork makes the dream work!​@@BikingwithJP

lol ok 👍

Thx glad you enjoyed! My newer videos I’ve edited down but I still get up to the same crazy stuff and then some :)

@@dduwm haha thx first lap of the day warm up, enjoy!

@@HeadshotPlaysOFFICIAL sick! What’s your favourite trail?

@@BikingwithJP I really like the waffle house hub

Nice, OG and Cutty are my fav at that hub.

@@BikingwithJP SAME!

Thx I loved it all except the climb portion 😝 - North Van is always the bar. I’m riding with my friend Andrew that day - I’m on the red bike he’s on the green bike.

@@BikingwithJPtoo bad those trails are so far for me. I’m 2 years removed from Vancouver and this place looks like it might be a good replacement.

Yeah if you live in Ontario now and near Hydrocut this is one of the more developed trails for sure. Do you live far North or South of Hydrocut maybe I can recommend more trails.

I’m 3 hours east. I live near Belleville

@I_identify_as_a_human 3 hours is a bit if a hike but there are near 40k of single track at Hydrocut. They are working on a new trail there Angry Judy that isn’t done yet but has a budget of over $30k and then one of my favs is Adam’s Run. If you go you must check out that trail. Feature Compilation - Jumps, Crash, Rock Climbs/Step Ups - Adam's Run kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGiUfpxqrsSKnLc I heard Sir Sam’s kinda closer to you has a lift but I’ve never been and some in the TO area I have yet to visit as well. Kelso was good for DH but you have to climb back up. Hope you find something you like 🤘

😂

@@Muffin3133 yeah for sure! Lots of XC and bypasses 🤘The season opener is free but has passed. You can get daily or yearly passes, it’s like $10 for a day and ~$30 for the year if you like it and plan on going often… which you probably will want to do! It’s well maintained year round and dries out quickly after rain. Let me know how it goes!

@@JonathanVegas1 hell yeah 🤘 no need to stop so why would you! Curious what tire size do you run 26 or 27.5 and how wide?

@@BikingwithJP 26 inch by 4 in Surly ice cream truck. I take a bike packing. I install Surly butt and Lou 26-inch by 4.8% to do mountain biking. I roll Montreal's with people running full suspension mountain bikes and I do just fine keeping up with most of them

@JonathanVegas1 that’s awesome I hadn’t heard of Surly Ice Cream Truck and looking into I found they call (one of) their rims clown shoes 🤡 lol what a fun brand hope your bike is as much fun 🤘

@@BikingwithJP Surly is the pioneer of fat bikes

I saw that too! But I think you tied for second with him anyway?

@BikingwithJP haha yeah and I wasn't clearing 60 if I had 100 tries. I was jk

@@ZKelly22 I mean you cleared half a metre which is pretty damn impressive 🤘 and it was t even your bike. You an M or L frame size? I was thinking could have leant you my bike if you wanted an L… but then you wouldn’t have had the carbon Kona!

@BikingwithJP my frame is a M/L but Vs medium fit pretty well and I think slightly easier to hop a smaller bike

@ZKelly22 damn I always forget M/L is an option, not an either or. Agree my bike (30ish lbs) is probably quite a bit heavier than hers - maybe 10lbs? What’s that thing weigh in at? L is on the smaller size for me I was between an L and XL… same thinking as you I wanted the smaller option to make it easier to maneuver on the trails.

Haha thx D, glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully next year you’ll be able to make it 🤞 I was hoping for a track stand contest 😝 bunny hops my weakness and on my list to learn. I probably could have cheated and just hopped one tire at a time over but wanted to try and learn - now I can watch some masters :) We kept pushing the last guy until he couldn’t do it anymore. So at 60cm he was the winner, but then he cleared 70cm and so on until he failed/tired himself out. So we were just thankful for the show!

Thx man, I was in the same boat as you. Hadn’t ridden in over a decade then end of 2019 season grabbed myself my Trek and it’s been quite the journey :) Hydrocut is my favourite, they have a good mix of everything and it’s easy to follow the trails. Let me know how it goes for you 🤘

@@BikingwithJP that’s really awesome JP! I’m happy for you that you’ve come back and that you’re enjoying it, your channel is filled with so many great places that I want to check out. I’m in Brampton so sooner or later I’ll get out to the hydro cut and ride those awesome features 😃

It’s an addiction. I love exploring so building my skill level feels like unlocking new trails to explore. Glad you’re enjoying my vids and it’s getting you interested in biking. Maybe I’ll see You out there one day! You just missed the yearly group ride I host - Ontario’s Wildest Chairty Ride! But I’ll be back out whenever I can 🤘make sure to check out a Hydrocut’s instagram for trail status before making the trip there!

@@BikingwithJP it certainly is an addiction! I grew up riding and due o injuries and reconstructive knee surgeries I had to take a break so I’m quite glad to be back, just no skateparks or jump lines for a good while haha. Ahh darn I’m a bit upset about missing that group ride! Oh well there’s next year! That would be great to hit a trail someday! I’m sure it will happen one day! The fact that you’re actually local and the trails in your videos are places I can go to really turned me into to your channel and one other dude I think his tag is YSB, down by turkey point. Really cool man :) I’m glad to have stumbled by your page

It’s a lot more uphill than it looks. It’s pretty much a climb up to and over the bridge. It’s also fairly narrow - maybe half a normal walking bridge - which is why the railings are slanted (room for handle bars).

@@BikingwithJP Ah, OK, so, maybe no sending it on the bridge! Lol BTW, can you shoot me a text when you have a chance.

@d-nicebikes yeah definitely not sending it… but you do need to power up and over it… it’s pretty cool to ride.

Agreed, they have done an amazing job here. I can’t wait to see what they have been doing with Angry Judy! We had planned to go down Jessica to see the new wood bridge there but never happened 🤷‍♂️ will need to go back!

By Da Vinci bridge it means no nails or bolts? Overtop of an active trail below... to do that properly must take a little know-how and quality lumber. Curious where the budget at hydrocut comes from, they look like super quality builds.

Good Questions, money comes from trail donations (you can buy from LBSs in the region or online) and trail sponsors. They have a huge budget - for example they are building a new trail right now with an estimated cost of $30-35k. I’m not sure how much this bridge cost, BUT they do save on lumber as they have a portable mill from which they can rip trees into useable wood. They also have partnered with the rock quarry so they have lots of access to rock (some armoured trail sections at HC, rock climbs and gardens, even a trail named Arriscraft after the gravel company). As to the design and build of the bridge, check out the description for a detailed build video from the creators from ideation to completion. Glad you enjoyed my videos - feel free to sub to see more trails and other MTB vids 🤘

Hell ya! You just missed the yearly group ride I host Ontario’s Wildest Charity Ride! I’ll be out on the trails often though, maybe I’ll see you out there sometime or let me know when you’re going I’ll try to get a few ppl out 🤘

😂

Yeah man it feels great being able to avoid the uphill climbs🤘hope you make it out this year too!

😂 - what’s your derailleur of choice?

@@BikingwithJP GX and XT

@@loganjacobson2335 nice :) I stared with a GX… died in the grass somehow. Wasn’t in stock when I got this - thankfully - can break two of these for the price of an XT ;)

lol exactly - he’s itching to go back here with the group. We need to setup a group ride after the chairty ride and don’t worry - I know which trail / dry creek bed to avoid now 😝 D actually wants to hit all the jump lines and has the trails listed we need to hit 🥳🤘 I’m just disappointed I won’t get to play in a muddy swamp again 🥺

Yes, it’s very well rated and organized. At the top of the lift there is a map. Each trail is rated in two ways, by flow and how tech it is (rocks or roots). They have everything from green + no tech to double black + tech, but they will definitely have enough for you to enjoy no matter your skill level. It was where I went for my first downhill experience. Let me know how it goes 🤘

I’ll still complain about that hill 😝

@@BikingwithJP That is why we will take the other path that at least has a jump on it!

Yeah I want to try some of the jumps next time. I’m kinda glad my wrist gave out on a low speed drop instead of finding out on a jump line. Was it Phoenix and what other trails have the jumps? I think we should be able to do Phoenix climb trail and make it a loop too.

@@BikingwithJP Phoenix, Firefly, Fight Club, Mad Hatter, Snail Trail, Bomb Hole, Dragon's Tongue

@@d-nicebikesalright let’s add all those to the list. I remember I took fight club before that was a fun one will have to do that again since it’s been a few years now - probably updated even :)

😂
