Behind The Trails EP 5 - Hemlock Epoch with Max Beaupré

A trail that was in desperate need of a resurface was Hemlock Epoch. This week we have Max take you down the trail he spent a ton of time on for your enjoyment. It was only right to have him show you all the coolest features top to bottom! Watch as he sends some big gaps, throws in some style, and destroys his own corners😂

[@netposerx]

Max makes it looks so casual. haha

[@ScottsMTB]

Agreed 🤣

[@jason5031]

Max's commentary is FANTASTIC! XD

[@The_Sampler]

One of my all time favorite trails. Can't wait to ride some of the newer additions to it!

[@steffengronegger8831]

Great trail, even better walkthrough.

[@mmodtomic7119]

Sweet trail. Just got my Orbea Rise. Can't wait to get back out there!

[@whistlepig]

Definitely my favorite trail at Kanuga...and Max is killing it!

[@matdd77]

So good! Can’t wait to ride it. Appreciate all the work the kanuga team puts in!

[@ericheyward1248]

Max blasting his own berms to oblivion for “ research and development “ purposes.

[@joehoeper3941]

[@jcpgh4412]

@@ride_kanuga planning a long weekend with some homies. might not be until Spring though.

[@NotSoRusty1]

There is NO part of Kanuga that isn't fun! Thanks Max!

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

One of the best trails I've ever ridden, I just wish I wasn't 6 hours away😢

[@reverieimgs]

For reference: Max's "trail pace" = light speed.

[@jamiedesoto6840]

Hah hes like joe pesci meets a used car salesman! I love it

[@Bridgerunner05]

Why did you upload this video in 360p

[@bennybradford]

They didn’t

[@ScottsMTB]

KZbin takes a while to process >= 720p for longer videos and make them accessible in all their servers globally

[@netposerx]

Nobody uploads in 360p. KZbin renders the video from 144p up to the highest resolution in which is was uploaded. And it takes time for YT to re-encode in the higher resolutions. It's better for creators to schedule the release of the video to avoid having just low resolutions available after upload, but sometimes it takes YT a long time to re-encode the higher resolutions.

[@delaneywaltman]

What's the deal with tearing up every berm? Put all that work in making a "tasty" berm, just tear it up. The whole video is kinda annoying. Trail looks great though.

[@ericheyward1248]

It’s for R&D purposes.

[@reeviewondermtb]

This isn't a state park struggling for trail maintenance funds. Privately owned and maintained. If anybody is allowed to "tear up" the trails, it's Max.

[@maxbeaupre7969]

Gotta test the work son! Always proper to give it a solid thrash before letting the public hit it just for safety purposes! Bummed u thought it was annoying put our heart and soul into this! Thanks for the feedback as always!

[@steffengronegger8831]

Sounds like you're fun at parties! It's called roosting or shralping a berm! They've built it, they maintain it rigorously (Kanuga trails are always mint), and they can mess it up. I find this very entertaining YT content - it takes something to break down a trail and shred it that way. Great stuff.
