[@andregormann3781]

Thank you for including the trails as separate chapters! As someone who is unfamiliar with a lot of the trails you ride, it's much appreciated.

[@ddangerousddave]

Occasionally i remember to do it 😂

[@leoottaway138]

Hand Solo was crazy! I cant imagine what thats like in real life if thats what it looks like on camera

[@mosaclipz6549]

it rides kinda awkward but rlly fun

[@chantsmantrasandrelaxation5079]

2001 - an incredible trail. Thank you for sharing. I have so much fun.

[@dsmith5940]

I’m out of my comfort zone watching this from my sofa. You know how we’ve all got that thing where we kid ourselves “if I had to, I could get that done…” - this is not that. Nope, I’ll stick to the paragliding

[@cronchyshark]

Paragliding takes a bunch of confidence too man! I'd never have the courage to go up there lol. I'll stick to my beloved dirt and leave the skies to the birds.

[@daltonknapton]

Man i love the sunshine coast. You made those trails look so good! Great video as always

[@ddangerousddave]

Thank you!

[@fivetool]

Great riding, Dave. I love seeing you on a jump trail from time to time.

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks! Don't get too used to it though :p

[@hkey_current_user]

this man is the best way to experience the thrills without any worries about failing, great job!

[@diskokex1620]

You can't experience the thrills without worries about failing, part of the fun

[@oliverbourne9599]

Each trail looked so fresh ... the soil 🤩 Dave showing the eBike dissenters right there for sure 🤟

[@Hoshea_Levi]

all the jumps you send blind are ones I would have to look at, all the jumps you have to look at I wouldn't do.

[@ddangerousddave]

Just to clarify, I didn't send any of those jumps blind. I've ridden the first section of the trail before, but I still made sure to roll through once to check that the trail hadn't changed and that the jumps were clear. As for the second section, after I overshot the stump jump and crashed, I went down and inspected the rest of the trail. Normally I would put that in the video, but I forgot to record that bit. Just don't want anyone to get the wrong impression and think that riding jump trails blind is a good idea.

[@akairborne]

That jump line was insane! I think i had a few heart palpitations watching this!

[@levithomsen8281]

Holy shit dude Built To Spill was crazzyyyy

[@Romansmile7]

That was a hell of a ride!

[@IcalebthelionI]

never cease to amaze! Really hoping I can make a N Van trip next year. The trails just look amazing out there!

[@shakalgaming2770]

It makes me want to play Riders Republic when I watch the video

[@mol3y]

Finding out that Dave has a comfort zone is like finding out you're adopted on your 145th birthday.

[@galaxyprox8959]

Insane riding skills! The woods are beautiful, i have to come over there one day

[@briansleepylee]

That ridge on Built to Spill is insane! Love the footage.

[@paulmerc3960]

From the first video i ever watched of yours.....that laugh gets me every time!!😆😆It reminds me of the same laugh after you almost died on a section of trail , but didnt! 😂 Awesome riding man! Thanks for making great videos!

[@AncientGreekMindset62]

I bought a while ago the Insta360 X3 camera and it is amazing, to whoever is into mountain biking and you want to get some cool clips this camera is for you.

[@paullambert4445]

This is amazing footage. I’ve been riding full suspension cross country since 1999. In 2001 I caught the outside of my front rim on a rock that threw me over the handle bars and I broke both my radius and ulna in my left arm. Two surgeries. Now if I grab something wrong with that arm it hurts. I’m still riding, but no super crazy stuff. You guys are one mistake away from a life changing or life threatening fall. You’re young, but think about the rest of your life. 🎸🔪

[@ronswanson9327]

Dude you ride with so much speed but are still so nimble on the bike it is insane, truly amazing skills you got

[@sykoteddy]

Wow, I've never seen anyone speeding so much and still has such control! Really beautiful woods and cool trails! Instant Sub!

[@stevem.5177]

Now THAT was a Dangerous Dave video. I found myself wanting to push the slow down button during long insanely rapid stretches where trees are flying by inches away from the tips of the handle bars. What a Rush.

[@ijustdocomments6777]

Really nice of someone to leave a chair there!

[@ddangerousddave]

They knew you'd need to sit down after riding that trail 😆

[@trailjockeytj6160]

Don’t know what my favorite was they all really want a lot of fun, although 2001 does look like it has promise back in the day they really do need to get to a rebuild on that.

[@ddangerousddave]

There are a bunch of old relics in that area. Just need a time machine!

[@TheDeekins]

every time I think to myself "yeah, I'd die there", right on cue, Dave chuckles

[@4dfam458]

Dude you have the best POV MTB videos out there!!! On top of that you are always riding new awesome trails!!! Can I come and live in your basement!!!!

[@ddangerousddave]

Basement?!? It's hard to afford rent in a two bedroom apartment here 🤣😭

[@tigranh47]

Insane riding skills! The forest looks incredible!

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks!

[@geraldmarcello2979]

You are awesome you're such a great Ryder please keep posting videos I love watching trails that you go on are sick.

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks Gerald!

[@Estymtb]

this is no doubt the best POV mtb content on youtube right now! great job! keep it up!

[@LIKAY69]

Watching ur vids makes me forget abt my problems.

[@tomislavpurgaric738]

amazing forest and riding is on another level but the sound of riding in forest is something special thanks 4 the video as always !!!

[@joinpotototoarmy]

Sweet!

[@just_christian]

These trails are awesome, I wish the ones around my area were like this!

[@zirie]

Havnt seen anybody hit the rock drop in a looooong time. Nice work :)

[@ddangerousddave]

Surprised they didn't leave the rest of the entrance open as an optional line. Runs so well.

[@zirie]

@@ddangerousddave Yea I'm transitioning the trail to all blue.

[@ddangerousddave]

@@zirie Are you the builder? If so, thanks for all the hard work! It flows much better than it did when I tried to ride the remaining relics a few years ago haha. Especially that section after the drop. I just wish I had a time machine to see that trail when it was in its prime! That and Cunning Stunts.

[@zirie]

Hey thanx dude a couple young guys did the top part , I did the bridge in and middle/lower part. LOng time ago.More to come on the rehab! Yea Cunning Stunts was the true B+K OG trail back in teh day. Suspension bridge, swivel totter. So nice :) . Glad you liked DNZ as well. Cool video man. @@ddangerousddave

[@SamYTlol3213]

His confidence is amazing ! ❤

[@nicks2716]

That looked like a great day on the Sunshine Coast. I’ll have to take a look-see one of these days. Great riding as always Dave.

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks Nick! Definitely a fun place to check out. Nice quiet vibe over there too.

[@ThomasSlaney]

Love that woodwork… come to the East Coast and try some of our rock work! We don’t have the same elevation here though. Awesome riding!

[@ddangerousddave]

Would love to one day! There's been a lot of videos from Quebec's Sentier du Moulin region which have definitely piqued my interest.

[@Chubacca838]

@@ddangerousddave If you do, take an extra day to check out VBN! Not far off SDM, few new trails in the last couple years :D

[@BCNBikerTeam]

Crazy bike skills Dave!

[@melodiepariseau4722]

Awesome! I love your videos! 🙌🏼

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks Melodie!

[@otti5362]

That place looks like some haunted forest. I was expecting a gingerbread house and a witch baking bikers in the oven🤣

[@dukeandsamoutdooradventures]

The jump with tge corner right after looks quite scary! Ridiculous bike control, amazing to watch 🎉

[@NorCal_Renegade]

Bro… you are freakin’ BADASS!!!! Holy shit I’m always amazed seeing your vids. I could never or even want to do this cause I’d run right into a tree lol. Keep em coming and ride safe always bro

[@brentcollins9727]

You are amazingly talented and that camera is awesome!

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks Brent!

[@bullseye0112]

Such an amazing trail

[@thebackyardsender]

Long live the skinnys

[@michaelsummerell8618]

Honestly Dave, I'm holding my breath just watching some of this, almost willing you to slow down before it all goes to shit! But hey, you wouldn't be Dangerous Dave if you were known for going slow... Awesome skill mate and fantastic trails too.

[@ddangerousddave]

Thank you!

[@user-hc9yg7rj1o]

hahaha that chair down there at 2:34 was really a masterpiece😁😁

[@n3v3r1s4]

love these videos

[@singletrack-sasquatch-mtb]

Built to spill looks super fun!

[@tomassanesson902]

Sooo awesome

[@MrFaberGD]

Bro just spawned a chair out of nowhere 2:30

[@xXDoUbLeDDXx38]

Not sure if you're Canadian or not but I'm originally from Alberta and we have a ton of great mountain riding there too. I living in Newfoundland now and I personally think it's the most breathtaking place in all of Canada. No where near as many cool trails as out west though. Really cool video, you're an awesome rider!

[@calex9398]

This guy is really good!

[@technique275]

Great video, thanks for the ride. Atb.

[@LevoRider]

Love your videos, pretty sure I would have hit the handlebars on those trees more than once.

[@ddangerousddave]

My pinkies live in constant fear

[@CrazyPhantom797]

great work bro

[@flyingnorseman]

Nothing like a bike set up perfect and dead silent on some chunky trail. Just sound of tires in dirt, the hub and you breathing.

[@megamuffin92]

As a person who never rode but likes to watch I always have this question. When you hit a jump for the first time blind, how do you know the proper speed? Is it just an experience thing? Also can we just say camera stabilization tech has come such a long way in the last decade lol.

[@ddangerousddave]

Mostly experience. I'm not a great jumper so I'll often follow someone in who has ridden the trail or is more experienced. And yes, camera stabilization has come a long way. Kids don't understand how good they have it :p

[@Ferroresonance]

I rode Seven Up when i was there a month ago, half the feature were rotted out and sketchy as, rode one feature and my front wheel went right through it. Regardless Roberts creek is so amazing, i was only there for a day but i need a week there.

[@ddangerousddave]

That's such a cool trail. It had just rained and I was on the ebike so I gave it a pass, but hoping to hit it again one day. I usually hike my bike backwards up the trail so I can inspect on the way up then ride down.

[@SHFTFerral]

I don’t know if many people really know about this but there are trails out in louisiana that have uphill and downhill trails, but they also have a lot of features that scare me to an extent I don’t ride a lot of the trails. I’ve been riding for about 2 1/2 years and the one thing I realized was I’m scared of gap jumps, but I really want to hit them someday but I figured putting it out there that there are trails in louisiana that deserve more attention the trails are in Bogue Chitto State Park, and I’d 100% recommend them if you’re ever passing through LA

[@Bdzynes]

Late getting to this reel yet glad I did. Thanks for sharing the sweet adventure. Nt cleared for riding yet I enjoy all your videos when I can't. I love filming in 360 yet with the trails you are riding..lol..no way. Is the chest mount safer than on top? Have a great day!

[@LEGENDofBEANY]

You were sending to flat lol nice!

[@lnchbrndn8169]

those trail are Crrrraaazzyyy, i would definetly die, you handled them very well.

[@georgeevans5713]

Fire bro 🔥 🙌 👌 😤 💯 😩 🔥 🙌 👌 😤

[@BeelzeRobert]

Even watching you riding this hand solo trail it was feeling like a childish dream in which you jump from the height and fly.

[@durtzcorner5682]

wow, such amazing skills.

[@lars_atx]

Incredible trail, and impressive riding (as always). Interested in your opinion of TRPs, weren't you on XT before?

[@kam1l0]

It's crazy how You can handle a bit heavier bike ( the lighter ones also :D ). Love your riding !

[@ddangerousddave]

Thanks! It's definitely more of an upper body workout with an e-bike :p

Very exciting video, experience the feeling of adrenaline surge

Scared to see what's out dangerous Dave's comfort zone when I clicked on this video😅

Nice one. Its tempting me to get out to trails but its only 0c in Ontario. I caught a cold from it and may regret heading out lol.

[@SomethingFoutis]

I love everything you do, but I'm scared of that e bike catching fire in the middle of a forest 😮

[@nixielee]

Not sure about the camera but insane trails

[@Nightmare-nm1wv]

What do you mean about the camera?

[@Andrew250]

Yea I'm not a huge fan of the lens. A bit to fish eyed for my liking.

[@Tequila628]

@@Andrew250 makes elevation look much more realistic than.

[@Tequila628]

Shows the angle of the descent much better than a regular camera.

[@mp8447]

Cool!

[@zacharykai6317]

i watched dale stone ride that same Hand solo trail only recognized it with that tree stump jump

[@davidgustavomacedo1038]

The MTB trail is now ready for a trail like this, you have to have your bike prepared right away.

[@hellotherexu2393]

Crazy

[@olik136]

interesting what you said about the brake leavers- I personally want the brake point to be farther away from the handle bars. Especially shimano brakes are very bad for this- the adjustment is close to the bars, or really close to the bars..

[@ddangerousddave]

Do you mean where the brake levers start or where the pads actually engage?

[@olik136]

@@ddangerousddave the point when the pads engage and it starts braking- for my shimano brakes I use a trick were I just pump the brakes about 3 times when the wheel is out- on magura brakes the adjustment is normally enough to get it where I like it.. the closer the lever comes to the handle bars the worse I can modulate my braking- guess that is just my anatomy

[@jae8960]

whenever a someone tries to explain why he/her thinks the Earth is flat, bring him/her to this trail

[@crazyworld8939]

Sick bro

[@toxicteabaging]

What i dislike about the 360 cam is everything looks exaggerated in terms of how slopey it actually is, everything looks like a drop-off to doom when it's actually not because of the fish-eye cam effect. Not to discredit what you're doing, these trails are sick and so are you, but the cam overdoes it.

[@Marinestgoat]

And?

[@thedownhillerboy]

😲🤤1st there was Dangerous Dan and then Dangerous Dave came and took over pretty damn good!! Dude those trails are so siiiick, my mouth was watering the whole time, and there you find yourself all alone in the sweetest downhiller's paradise to have ever existed on planet Earth, I would love to join you someday up in there😏. Can you hook me up with a place to stay as well as being my guide for the whole period of my stay somewhere in a year time?Of course I'll be paying for my stay👍🏻! I sure hope so,it would be an old dream come true which I have been delaying for some good years now 🙄😩👍🏻🇵🇹🙋🏻‍♂️.

no way bro, so fast on the trail

[@Legendendear]

Just gonna comment that one can see the difference in skill and experience you display in this video and your most watched one.

[@giorgioclavelli1757]

Nice video Dave. The only thing I dislike is the too wide view angle from your camera. I don't know if it is a default view, or if you can actually reduce that angle view. It just distorts the prospective too much such that I can't really tell how steep is the trail in front and on the sides. Of course that is likely just me. BTW, I agree you are dangerous. 😁

[@bluebananacookie]

the nature in your videos is so beautifull. If u feel comfortable saying what part of the us is it?

[@Jeseryhesery88]

How many bikes do you have?

[@ddangerousddave]

Not enough :p but I generally try to have an enduro bike (Spartan HP), e-bike (E-Troy) and gravel bike (Hatchet).
