ALBERTA ROCK SLABS? // Mountain Biking Prospector Trail

[@roberttate4816]

Nice trail 👍

[@TheLoamRanger]

Robert Tate ya I'll definitely be hitting that one again! Lots of fun.

[@MattArnstein-se6xd]

get across the valley to razor's edge fore more 'berta slabs!

[@TheLoamRanger]

That's the plan! I really want to get out to that one before the season ends.

[@teresamcknight1105]

is the bell to keep away the bears?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Liam McKnight ya both of the guys I was riding had bear bells, plus we had spray and a horn. There's a ton of them out right now! Not to mention cougars haha

[@SGMTB]

I9 hubs work better... just saying :P

[@danicaalexteresaedwarddolm4702]

Come to Canada SFU bike park in Burnaby

[@TheLoamRanger]

I'm already in Canada! Haha But yes I should get out that way next season and ride the park.

[@drewsaucee7667]

Would love to see a blooper video!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha I think most of my riding could be considered a blooper video :D

[@tylercox747]

that trail was so fun i rode it this summer!!

[@RRBuilder611]

canadians: we don't say eh also canadians:

[@hudsongawalko1562]

I knew straight away it was close to Canmore because of all the mining stuff ther

[@auzyham]

Such good quality video footage! What's your setup man?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! This one right here: myillumi.com/bring-action-cam-footage-speed/

[@auzyham]

dude thanks for the response!

[@theoilic493]

Sick video Ryan, could you do a video on what camera gear you use pls.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Theo Ilic thanks! Once riding season slows down a bit, I plan on putting out some more non-riding videos like that. For now, it's all about the trails!

[@brodycox6748]

rode a hardtail on this trail

[@giuliomagarotto9819]

I really like the fact that you don't cut the mistakes off the videos, and also that even if you're a very skilled rider you have a careful approach to the trails you don't know! Great job and keep posting!

[@Brummieinthesun]

I noticed you wear your chesty under your jersey and you've made a hole for the mount to stick out... how come?? Why not wear over the top?

[@justgo4033]

Have you ever been to baseline mountain in Rocky Mountain house ? If you get the chance to go just remember to bring your full body armour , dh bikes not absolutely needed but strongly recommended . They are some of the steepest trails I've ridden but lots of fun . You will need a shuttle up the mountain and there's a Facebook page called baseline mountain bike club if you want to join up with the locals .

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya I've been meaning to get out there all year! Next season I'll make it happen for sure.

[@jeremyread261]

Man its fun to watch a new MTB KZbin really blasting off. I love all the well established MTB guys but its cool to see a fresh face with awesome content. Keep it up man!

[@kentreddell8595]

Your name and your thumbnails alone made me subscribe. And then I watched your videos! Great vids man, keep up the good work.

[@mwaissmann]

Honestly one of my favourite trails, you missed a couple of the drops on the trail so you'll have to come back and ride them. As others have said, you have to give Razors Edge a go if you want more slab and sharp rocks!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya I"ll have to check those out! There was one I just went around because the landing was loose and sends you into a tree! There were patches of bark ripped off from all the other people who couldn't make the turn after landing and I didn't feel like adding my face print to the collection haha. I definitely want to ride to Razors Edge this season.

[@mtbstu]

That's AWSOME. I rode this trail myself earlier this week. It's in Exshaw Alberta. It's pretty close to Calgary. Just east of Canmore. I totally missed that pump track. I found this trail using Trail Forks. It's pretty narrow, steep and rugged in parts. Tough climb up too! Great vid!

[@DeclanHighD]

Hey considering buying a giant reign 2 but i could also get the YT Capra al comp which is a must ch better spec for £600 more what should i do?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Both are great bikes! Ask yourself this though.... How much is a plane ticket to Whistler? That extra cash could buy some awesome riding time :D

[@DeclanHighD]

The Loam Ranger thanks man im gonna go with the reign and how do you get such good quality videos could you make a vid on your gopro setup ? That would be great thanks

[@rileykattenhorn809]

Touge!

[@brentfoden4737]

Didn't show or hit all of the best features!

[@johnnyrc9304]

Did you ride the Nordic Center while you were in Canmore? So many great trails in the area in general.

[@Mediax5]

Love watching your vids bud. I ride out of Red Deer. Its cool to see the trails in the area that I don't now about. Cheers!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Nice! Ya this one is definitely worth checking out. Thanks man.

[@nemanjapoznanovic6331]

An amazing video ! One question... I see you use aggressor and minion tires , but I would like to know which one is front and which one is rear tire? Thanks

[@ItsWizki9d]

I absolutely love your videos. But I need help persuading my mum that trail bikes are necessary for riding in rough terrain. She keeps saying its totally unneeded as if she watched all these videos about it. I ride bmx at the moment as I used to dig up jumps with friends but recently after being able to us my friends enduro MTB I fell in love with trail riding.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Wizard FPV that's awesome to hear you want to get into mountain biking! Getting a new/used bike is a solid investment so I can understand why she might be hesitant. I'd say find a decent used bike that could work for what you want to do, sell the BMX (if you won't be using that much after getting the mtb) and see about raising the rest of the funds through working or begging your mom haha. Best of luck!

[@ItsWizki9d]

The Loam Ranger thanks :)

[@maplic]

Hey man, where was that little dirt jump flow track located that you featured at the start of the video? Is that right in Exshaw?

[@HarveyMiedreich]

Crapmando! You skyrocketed to double the subs since I last was here. Nice work, better get ready to post that 5k video any minute now! ;)

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha ya it's growing quickly! I just had the same thought about the 5K video...time to plan it out!

[@mcfishing5210]

Where r all of these trails

[@TheLoamRanger]

This one is just outside of Canmore Alberta. If you follow my Strava account, I post all these rides on there too. Otherwise, just search for "Prospector" on Trailforks.com and you should see it pop up in Exshaw or Canmore AB. Hope that helps! Strava: www.strava.com/athletes/5073767

[@ltlfilms5246]

Do u use a gimbal or a chest mount?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Both actually! Chest mounted gimbal :D Here's my gear list: myillumi.com/bring-action-cam-footage-speed/

[@machamilton5204]

U we're shifting a lot on the trail. What gear to u like to use heading on a trail? But on a jump coarse what gear do u use also

[@TheLoamRanger]

Delta Dog oh man that's a tough question to answer! I never pay much attention to exactly which gear I'm in, I just have it in whatever gear gives me the right amount of torque I need at the time. I have a 30 tooth ring on the front, so I'm usually in one of the last three gears on faster tracks like ALine, etc.

[@machamilton5204]

The Loam Ranger got it! Thanks!! Luv the vids!!! Keep shredding!!

[@machamilton5204]

[@kingnothingx7890]

[@TheLoamRanger]

All the time! We're pals. His name is Steve.

[@legostorm3690]

I'm Canadian and i have never heard someone say (Eh) so many times

[@TheLoamRanger]

😂😬

[@legostorm3690]

@@TheLoamRanger thanks for replying. I just went on the trail (ass over tea kettle) the drops are huge, good on you for sending those things. You should hit more of the trails in Edmonton like the ones near (ass over tea over...) like (780 flow) there is a huge gap jump on it.See ya. Happy Canada day ,Eh.

[@kentreddell8595]

Also, you should do a video on your camera gear!

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

love the vid, love the channel dude! sub'd!!!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks man! More coming later today!

[@rgmtb]

Great trail man! More cow bell dude!!!!

[@thef1dude501]

And I thought Blue Velvet looked difficult

[@asispector]

i guess thats my trail...

[@nicholasmarotta5899]

Was my favourite trail (until I rode Penmachno trail, snowdonia North Wales) amazing trail but not so good the time I rode it in the dark with no light. Wife: 'its too late it will be dark by the time you ride.' me: 'Nah' hald my iPhone with the light on to help me down the steep bits. Danger

[@illuments9885]

Hi there! Just started watching your videos which I think are amazing as you give good commentary and amazing camera quality. I was wondering what brand/model of bike you ride?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! Glad you're liking the channel man. Here's a bike check video that I just put out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHSwdWWcadOHd9U

[@bennield2887]

[@TheLoamRanger]

[@saminfc3211]

The Loam Ranger best mountain bike channel that's how! Just wondering if you could do a vid on your camera gear?

[@bobrossinit586]
