This Trail Broke my Brakes

[@TheDhdk]

I love this sort of riding! I wish the local hills had the sort of elevation that you get to play with!

[@DaleStone]

Me too... 🙂

[@Ride_Dont_Die]

Full pull is pretty great if you live near Eagle Mountain

[@nicks2716]

100k!!!!🥳🥳🥳 AMAZING!!! I’ll give you a more full congratulations in your “official” 100k video! Way to go!!!

[@DaleStone]

Thanks Nick! You've been along for most of the ride. 🍻 There will be a 100k video for sure, but maybe in a couple of weeks as I didn't expect this exponential growth. 😅

[@nicks2716]

And happy to have been along for most of the ride! 🍻

[@FreerideWalrus]

Such an underrated trail. Rode this for the first time a few weeks back in similar conditions and would have to agree, probably in my top 3. Really want to make the trip back when there's more moisture. Super clean riding as per usual!!!

[@DaleStone]

With moisture it is legendary...

[@pieboyiamme4474]

the last part of that trail looks gnarly as man! the things i would do to ride in places like that i dont think you wanna know... much love man

[@daltonknapton]

Gotta love a good brake burner! Trail looks like a hoot and you were railing it!

[@galiahakvoort9349]

*This Trail Broke My Breaks*....well..., if it was me it will not only be the brakes that get broken😂. Nice video and great skills as always. Stay safe and keep the fun going😊

[@fivetool]

That trail looked steep on the Go Pro, so it had to be super steep in real life.

[@nicks2716]

You better have your celebratory 100k subscriber video in the can, because at the rate you are adding subscribers you could hit it tomorrow lol! (Nice ride btw… had a bit of a throwback feel to your earlier videos from a couple of years ago.)

[@DaleStone]

Definitely wasn't expecting such a big surge to 100k, but I'm also not complaining! 🙌

[@literallyanythingelseother]

and now its already at 144k

[@nicks2716]

You’ve passed VanCan… I was only slightly kidding yesterday that you better have that 100k celebratory video in the can!

[@DaleStone]

At this rate it's only 2 days away, insane!! Might be a few days late haha. 😆

[@MysticalMuse]

@@DaleStone Have the two of you decided what the prize will be? I think I remember in your "Help Me Beat VanCan" vid you said there would be a prize, but what it would be was still tbd, so....? ;)

[@DaleStone]

I'll rough him up today and get a real good prize agreed upon.

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

"I don't think I've ever done that drop..." surely that was worth a ring of the bell 🛎 👍⭐

[@DaleStone]

FEAR 😅

[@duncanwright301]

Couple questions for you if you don’t mind, Dale. 1. When was the last time you _actually_ crashed? Would you say the technical demands/lower speeds of the trails just make it so you’re either totally dialed or you just put a foot down? 2. What would you say is the minimum amount of bike you’d want as a visitor/must haves for safe North Shore riding? 3. When do we get the performance review on the berd wheels?

[@DaleStone]

1) I truthfully can't remember my last proper crash. Despite what it may sometimes seem, I'm a very calculated and risk adverse rider! 😆 2) As long as it's from a proper non-department store brand, even a hardtail can survive with the right technique and trail selection. 3) Within the next 2 months! They've been fantastic, so I'm excited to make a proper video about them. 🙂

[@duncanwright301]

@@DaleStone thanks Dale! I figured it had been a while haha. I’ve lived in the land of high speed flow for too long, and it’s just so easy to lose traction and go down hard. Sounds like my Stumpjumper Evo should be right at home when I make a trip, though I might need some grippier tire compounds. Glad to hear the berds are working out! I’m definitely going to try some on my next wheel build.

Thanks Mike, celebration video soon-ish! :)

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

Sweet trail

[@Coastal-rsidedown]

Wow, that was continuously steep. What was the elevation profile? Start elevation vs the finish elevation? Lots of vert lost in a pretty short time.

[@DaleStone]

All in over 1300m, the top continuous section was probably half of that!

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome epik video and trail

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

Lol those damn stinging nettles! My legs and arms hate them

[@Ride_Dont_Die]

When it’s not as dry I bet the loam on those trails incredible, can’t even imagine a good the loam would’ve been when that first trail was built

[@DaleStone]

It was a magical, elusive 10/10. Now it's "only" a 9.5/10. 😆

[@llullwllallkll]

thanks for the ride dave 🚴🚴🚴✌️✌️✌️

[@jimihendrixx11]

This is gnarly - looks dangerous but fun. Do you practice it first slowly? I guess its really good for concentration - mindfulness and stress relief😊

Yes to all! 🙂

[@mattns13]

Great video as always Dale! Is there a reason you don’t post the trail names anymore?

[@DaleStone]

If it's on Trailforks I always still do! 🙂

[@Mason_F121]

That bear was on your insta, yes I still remember that

[@ronanmcn4967]

Are there any wildfires in BC that are affecting where you can ride or is it safe enough for riding not to be effected?

[@DaleStone]

For the most part we have been very lucky and in the unaffected corner of the province. That could easily change though, so let's hope for some actual rain! 🤞

[@ronanmcn4967]

@@DaleStone Hopefully the weather remains not too hot, like what most of Europe is getting with 40 degrees C plus, so riders can remain safe out there

[@aidankelley9399]

It would be cool to see a video talking about various things about mtb other than riding. Such as trail etiquette, what you should pack for a ride, what you do when you encounter bears or other wildlife, and anything else you might think of.

[@DaleStone]

I can likely do this at some point!

[@user-xq5rp9fm1p]

Time for some TRP Dhr-evo brakes...

I'd be keen to try out a pair, but they have had serious supply chain troubles.

[@LordDukeee]

How tall is that mountain

[@DaleStone]

1.6 usual mountains, or 1 megafreedom

[@downhillupside]

I realize that a lot of your rides are on secret trails, and that builders very much don't want videos like this to show location. But I really wish there were a way to provide mild hints to us locals who are willing to go searching, while at the same time not giving enough away to see throngs of people finding the trail.

[@DaleStone]

It really depends on the builder, this trail's builders are super friendly (and the trail has been on and off of Trailforks even!). The really sensitive stuff will never make it online, and neither will mild hints haha. Get searching! 😉

[@DaleStone]

Also, there's no statistically significant correlation between uploading a video and that trail seeing an appreciable increase in traffic. 🙌

[@Pirlothemagician]

I’m sure someone can recognize the fsr at 7:50 and we can go from there 😉. The bear shot at the beginning was definitely Harper but filmers are known to throw you off with subtle hints like that so might not be burke. The topography and trail building style definitely resemble burke I just can’t think of a bridge over a clear river like that anywhere on burke. Maybe chilliwack? Tamihi creek?

[@DaleStone]

I'm quite a bit more careful than you may think. 😉

[@craigcarey3644]

I’ve been able to find some of the secret trails Dale has posted in the past but this one’s got me a bit stumped, the exit provides a little bit of a clue but can’t place it yet..
