ARE OLD SCHOOL TRAILS STILL GNARLY? | Riding the classic Gargamel and the new Zanarchy trails

[@mtbjuky]

Heading up there in 2 weeks. Is it well marked to find those two trails? Trailforks? Cheers!

[@BCpov]

Gargamel is on trailforks, but Zanarchy isn't quite on the map yet. I've received some feedback from the local community to not give directions to Zanarchy just yet. For those reading, if you do consider riding Gargamel, yes, it's very full on and it's important to ride within your abilities.

[@mtbjuky]

Thanks, I know some local boys that'll show me the way. Great vid btw

[@kevinhowley1586]

That looks unbelievable. Your POV bike videos are definitely some of the best. I don't know how it's so smooth.

[@BCpov]

Thanks Kevin, I try to keep the quality as high as i can :)

[@JordanBoostmaster]

that looks amazing, I have to ride that!

[@BCpov]

+Jordan Boostmaster I'll take you out there someday! Good times to be had in the Whistler Valley!

[@rudyt9072]

Keep up the good work! I love watching your Gnarly videos. Shout out from Anaheim California

[@BCpov]

Nice! Similar gnar in anaheim?

[@okedom]

So good - well filmed and ridden. Keep the Whistler trails going!

[@BCpov]

Thanks Dominic! Lots to ride here!

[@ghmoney80]

dude you are killing it with your vids keep up the good work!! awesome trail

[@BCpov]

thanks man!

[@kingrat738]

One of the coolest trails ever!!

[@allanmaynard8595]

Wow what a pair of trails!

[@BCpov]

That was a great ride! So dusty last summer! I'm ready for it again!

[@salviecudlip5326]

What a ride, that looked awesome. Great ride 👍 love the videos

[@BCpov]

Thanks Salvie, this was a gnarly one!

[@user-eo1zu4nu4l]

Great movie, great trail. Love it

[@OrangePrestoGM]

Hey, really awesome video dude and super awesome riding! The quality of the video is actually insane and the color is quite incredible, best ive seen! I do have to add though it seemed as though this was shot at a really low fps and at some points, the footage seemed quite lumpy I just wonder why that is? apart frome that aswome keep it up!

[@BCpov]

interesting feedback. I record at 24fps, which is relatively low, but I haven't noticed any play black issues. What kind of device are you watching on?

[@Chadizms]

I like how you just fell over for no reason. I thought that was my signature move.

[@BCpov]

haha, sorry for stealing your moves!

[@schmickles1968]

Proper trails.. gotta love the gnar 🤟🏻 awesome riding..

[@BCpov]

Thanks Tommy! That was a great day of riding, gargamel is still legit!

[@okedom]

Super awesome, thanks for the long vid!

[@BrianVaughn]

Pretty cool trails... Amazes me how crazy trails are in BC.

[@BCpov]

I feel lucky to live here! I really enjoy these technical trails!

[@iancho9587]

love it, this is what mtb single track must look like. Its a shame that WA state latest new trails are so polished and smooth-puke, but those "old school" ones build for 26" and 150mm forks still gnarly on another level. This went to my wish list for next BC visit....Stay safe, cheers!

[@BCpov]

I love the gnar too, I learnt to ride in this stuff. Thanks for for watching, Ian

[@xXGhosttrolledXx]

You know its a Canadian rider when they say "eh", and to that I give you a like.

[@BCpov]

+Vyllain Da Rogue thanks for the like, ya hoser!

[@eastonwest234]

Ha at 13:46 I think we all had a near miss with a tree on that chute. Video does not do Gargamel justice. It's steep and rowdy non stop.

[@BCpov]

Especially on a hardtail! Props for riding it on your Chromag, Ken!

[@grantfeddema5332]

Super gnar all day, wow what a couple of trails!!

[@BCpov]

+Grant Feddema classics!

[@clydesdalemountainbiking7393]

my brain and memory just flashed back to my early days of riding... I was so much better back then. hahaha

[@jasonstern7090]

Did you do anything different with the color correction? I think it looks great. I prefer this look to the washed out look of some of the other stuff. Great riding either way and nice video as always.

[@BCpov]

Yup, I changed it up a bit again. It's now quite a bit brighter :)

[@hobmarg]

BCpov colours on point man. Good work.

[@Christophe_L]

Colour really sets this channel apart; it does the scenery justice. The creaking kept this video from perfection, though. Once I heard it, I couldn't unhear it!

[@Unforgiving01]

love your videos man !! being from the east coast of Canada iam jealous as heck of the trails you ride ! , but while i was watching this video , the whole time i kept thinking to my self i wonder how often you have seen or have ever seen a grizzly or cougar ? in all your BC trail travels and if so what did you do ?

[@BCpov]

Actually a friend and I almost hit a Grizzly in the chilcotins. We came around a blind corner and there was a griz standing on the trail. I think it was as surprised as we were, it bolted straight away. I've never seen a cougar, but I'm sure they've seen me. Sneaky those things are.

[@jojotherider1977]

Super fun to watch. Baby say, "gnar gnar?"

[@jojotherider1977]

Also, is that the new Reverb lever? Its huge.

[@BCpov]

+jojotherider1977 that's actually the rf turbine lever on a 9point8 post

[@tbabis]

just great! thanks

[@JoinMyRide]

Uuaaa! That looks so awesome!!!

[@BCpov]

Steep and deep!

[@scott871]

Sooo good man

[@BCpov]

Thanks Scott, it was pretty fun!

[@gregsmith5270]

How do you colour correct your footage? It looks amazing! Is there anyway you could send the colour correction settings to me?

[@BCpov]

Thanks Greg, I use Davinci resolve to colour correct. I can't send the settings, they're kind of my secret sauce :)

[@gregsmith5270]

Ok dude no worries :)

[@anabrugos6340]

Sweet!

[@yuriboiblu]

we need new tyres for these 2x trails. :-) love it!

[@BCpov]

Easy to wreck your tires for sure!

[@guild307]

Just walked Gargamel, its insane.

[@BCpov]

Pretty full on, hey?

[@hobmarg]

Climb to Gargamel is suck enough, how's the climb the Zanarchy?? I assume it's somewhere up above.

[@BCpov]

Even worse. :)

[@luispa76]

that trail begs to be ridden. You're so lucky

[@frankfattore989]

With so light of air pressure, (18 and 22 psi.), do you ever burp your tires on square edged hits? I run a maxxis minion dhr up front, and an aggressor out back, and run about 36 psi. in both.

[@BCpov]

With the tire and rim combo (nobl, magic mary super gravity and dhr double down), it works pretty good. I do ping the front from time to time as you can hear on the first trail. I'm quite light though at 155 lbs.

[@swinefeaster]

hey buddy this trail looks sick we should do it sometime if you ever come back

[@henryvillalobos4858]

👍👍👍

[@BCpov]

🤘🤘🤘

[@soomin9988]

That's cool man :D tu parlerais tu français par hasard? the accent makes me wonder ;)

[@BCpov]

Guillaume parle français, j'utilise juste google translate :)

[@soomin9988]

ahahah way to go buddy :) keep up with the vids they're awesome :D hello from Chicoutimi, Qc

[@dryzalmynelli9600]

We hated it! Just kidding. Keep it up dude! Day dreaming of riding BC all the way over from the little mole hills of New England. One day I'll get to eat BC dirt... one day... 😂🤣

[@BCpov]

next summer! save up and fly out!

[@tomaswarner131]

I noticed that your set up for your gimble is just like mine but I have this constant clicking or knocking/scratchy/raddling sound. How do you cure that. I also have the same back pack you use.

[@gogomtb1]

freeriiiiiiiiide 🤙

[@ralpherdoo]

Thanks for showing us you're human, if you would have rode Gargamel clean top to bottom I would have been WTF.

[@BCpov]

There were definitely a few dabs on that run ;)

[@ralpherdoo]

BCpov well, still awesome riding.

[@HunterR909]

A Trail named after a Cartoon Character (The Evil One) from the Smurfs??

[@BCpov]

Yes sir!

[@HunterR909]

@@BCpov We humans have a weird sense of humor. hehe

[@onecutmedia]

its the climb from HELL!!!!!!

[@BCpov]

Haha, it was sooo steep. good workout though!

[@kurtXhecticXpl]

MTB heaven.

[@BCpov]

+kurt hectic absolutely!

[@ClaireR823]

how old is the Gargamel trail

[@kingrat738]

Phak-Yeah!! That's the blue pill right there!! Woohoo!!

[@BCpov]

Until you crash, then its a bit of the red pill :)

[@scottcarlon6318]

Sniff..sniff..smells like breaks 🥵

[@BCpov]

Ding dong, the Gnar is up!

[@adogjbone4972]

lol, we love the Gnar

[@jonthemountainbikingviking4127]

That's a lot of downhill. You rode to the top.

[@BCpov]

Gotta earn it sometimes!

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

Thanks for making sure I avoid that. That is some hairy shit.
