lol ogopogo

[@DanyaAnderson]

SICK video I'm having a hard time with the Insta360 footage blurring when the rider is travelling fast but yours looks mint, any tips? @dickersoncantride

[@charvld]

the sound quality is amazing

[@harveyjoneswoodsman5956]

Was going to say that the trails were built for old geo

[@gnarly2165]

The laugh you do after you do some kind of trick is so annoying, I couldn't watch the video. Kudos. That's hard to do.

[@akairborne]

That builder was an artist. I love the way they shaped the wood, the stone, and how they integrated all the natural features.

[@trailbuilder5789]

Yes man, very creative and nicely done! Looks beautiful.

[@WilliamrikerNCC1701]

Huge respect for having the skill and guts to ride this stuff!

[@kendrickcarroll680]

You rode that first one a lot faster then I expected. The amount of skill it takes to ride that stuff is just off the charts though, you guys make it look so easy.

[@slowduro_pl]

The fact you don't die or at least get injured riding these features is absolutely mind blowing. I have the most respect for your trail skills!

[@RecklessFables]

I'm amazed the ground below isn't stained with blood of lesser riders.

[@thebdceigal]

@@RecklessFablesit is. The rain just washes it away.

[@HardtailLife]

Not many mtb videos have me at the edge of my seat! What a wild trail, and major kudos for you and Marcus! 🙌💯

[@ethanolson2343]

I love seeing the respect for the community's history - digging out that cam footage from the past and bringing up cultural legends - one could probably write a whole book about the North Shore mountain bikers.

[@NorthernSkiAndCycle]

These features also weren’t built around 29” wheels and massive 1200-1350mm wheelbases. Which makes them even trickier to ride nowadays.

[@rider65]

I think that depends on what type of Rider you are and what type of bike you're on. If you're on an Enduro type or downhill bike then it's not harder, if you're on an XC bike yes it's harder

[@ddangerousddave]

I've ridden the Ogoflogo on two separate occasions: one when I was riding a size small Devinci Spartan, the other when I was on a medium. The medium felt so much sketchier because I had to pivot my back wheel to make the corner as I came around the stump and passed the point of no return. It was terrifying! I would love to have a really short play bike for this kind of stuff.

[@ZachHeise]

Makes sense but on the staircase specifically the big bikes look like they roll through it a bit easier

[@walterday8933]

Also, modern MTBs have much wider handlebars! I remember when I bought my bike a few years ago and that was the first thing I noted. I test rode 10-12 new XC bikes and all of them had (IMO) wide handlebars, and each Salesman said it was for increased control and high speed stability on the trails. Epic, nutty, and unforgiving trail!

[@InstaLabSparti]

man looks like you had tons of fun! Wish i could ride like that!

[@joed1344]

Dude. This is one of the sickest trails I ever saw. Thanks for bringing us this.

[@jmpstrnl2007]

The JOY that comes through is infectious. And the video is astounding on so many levels (skill, builders,footage, for instance)

[@JerryB-le8kk]

Well done lads, as an older bike rider I really appreciate your skills and totally envy your youth and confidence

[@DaleStone]

This might just be your best video.

[@glennpace9783]

You guys make this look much easier than it is!! I've eyed that log entrance to Immonator for a while. It is much more elevated and slick than it shows in video and I have not had the balls to get up there. Kudos! Keep on doing it!

[@323johnnybravo]

Not sure I even have the balance to walk these. Crazy to think these are considered trails. Awesome skills !!

[@thedalillama]

I started to lose mine in my late 40s. It wasn't something I was ready for.

[@SteveInskip]

@@thedalillamayou don’t bounce as well when you’re older either.

[@kayakattack319]

The videos when you bring friends along are the best. I can’t believe how you’re able to do the trails

[@scottpratico1315]

Just as bonkers on a rewatch. This is some pure shore gold.

[@DRSpalding]

New name day for you, Dave: Daft Dave and accompanying him, Mad Marcus! Wow. Getting those big bikes to navigate those old features is amazing. You guys are every bit as good a rider as the originals!

[@425superRocket]

Trail of legend. Arguably the birthplace of free ride. There's a unicycle rider who successfully rode alot of the North Shore's most challenging elevated trails.

[@joelankeny6277]

I rarely watch trail ride vids but this was 14 of the best mins I’ve spent on KZbin in a long time. Those trails are crazy! Nice work riding those features!

[@commandertree6299]

The collab we all needed glad to see it happen

[@d-nicebikes]

DD, epic run. Stellar control on that step feature. Love seeing these "challenge accepted" rides done with such skill, precision, and control.

[@bkxc]

I love the way the footage looks when you send it off a drop! This was some wild stuff!!

[@MINIMALmtb]

Cant believe that first feature is still solid enough to ride

[@kailmarks4968]

I rode it 20 years ago and it was old then… Gnarliest trail I’ve ever ridden, to this day.

[@FullsenderMTB]

How u get on to this trail if you don’t mind me asking

[@ur_typical_mtn_girl]

Love how much your just laughing through this trail. Looks absolutely wicked!

[@grantbowen5047]

North shore trail builders are insane. It's hard to convey how gnarly this stuff is.

[@Jeseryhesery88]

These trails are scary

[@Jatski_pelaa]

this trail is INSANE! massive kudos to whoever built this stuff! nice vid!

[@mahalomydude]

The stairway is insane! Great work out there.

[@natthiaskeidel]

your laugh is so contagious, I love it

[@johndef5075]

Fantastic riding! You make it look easier than I know it is.

[@oliverbourne9599]

The only mountain biker I've ever heard who actually gets the danger when 'Fern bashing' @6:00

[@bradsaxton6354]

Excellent job guys....sweaty palms just watching. Great trials skills...out of my skill range for sure!

[@JustJake77]

Dangerous Dave, channeling his inner Dangerous Dan on this one.

[@Victoria-pf7hc]

Wooo, this is bonkers! The skills of these guys just blew my mind. When he lift the right leg to balance... Great job filming and thank u for sharing this amazing place.

[@03cobra4]

Being along for the ride is intense and ultra enjoyable. Thank you!

[@tamasvarga67]

What a sick trail and fantastic ride! In my next life, I want to be able to ride like you! 👍👍👍

[@pennywiseflyz9130]

Why hasn’t this gone full mainstream? This is better than all sports besides football

[@fisherandy92]

You guys are so lucky to have these trails! We are dreaming about trails like these in my home country Serbia. Love your vids, keep up the good work!

[@Newbieriderr]

Just pure skills Dave! Good stuff as always!

[@rascal1234]

Trials trails. It is amazing to see you guys ride these stunts.

[@benhebert6501]

yeah... right

[@BCpov]

Anybody know what happened to the forest here? The old footage is green and lush.. all the trees are dead in Dave's footage. Looks pine beetle, but I wasn't aware of any of those kinds of issues in the coast.

[@Warfoki]

Unfortunately, pine beetles are spreading and unlikely to stop, in fact the problem is only going to get worse. Winter regulated their numbers previously, as most of the pine beetles died from the frost, then their larvae repopulated the area. Except with global warming, the winter frosts are shorter and less cold, so pine beetles survive it at higher and higher altitudes each year, and without the frost regulating their numbers, they have been overpopulating like crazy.

[@MINIMALmtb]

Also the crazy looper moth outbreaks in recent years (especially in that area). If you look closely at the mountains from afar, you'll notice many of the trees are now brown

[@EricRBTube]

The other reply is correct, it's looper moth. If you search "looper moth lynn headwaters" you'll find more information. It's resulted in the introduction of a tree hazard management program, which includes cataloging trees in GIS and some widespread danger tree removal near roads and trails. It will be interesting to see how some unsanctioned but popular trails, like the Cedar Tree Trail/Kennedy Falls, play out in the coming years.

[@Schaaf]

I'm not a regular to your channel, your video randomly popped up in my feed. I expected an average trail riding vid with a clickbaity title/thumbnail since many other KZbinrs tend to do that. I was totally wrong. These trails are actually gnarly as fck. Absolutely amazing stuff. And your riding skills are incredible too. What a great watch! Thank you!

[@PatSmage]

Nice riding! I want to try riding trails like that someday, it’s cool to see they still exist. Sometimes I hate where I live, haha.

[@ddangerousddave]

Hey Pat, just want to say I'm a big fan of your riding!

[@B1KER]

The skillset that you have and the absolutely maniacal builders up there just blows my mind every time I watch one of your videos. Very impressive and equally terrifying to think about riding something like that. Great vid! 🙌

[@wibiz9657]

I don't use the word "literally" sarcastically, but this is literally my worst nightmare. I can't fathom these speeds through such an obstacle-heavy forest and uneven ground. I don't ride my bicycle anymore, but when I did even something so little such as roots sticking out from the ground induced panic. I don't know how you can do this, but I'm very glad it exists. You clearly know what you are doing so watching these is both terrifying but also comforting knowing you're safe and around people who also know what they're doing.

[@Apodictic1]

That video camera is very impressive. It gives a more realistic view of the trail than a go pro. Thanks for sharing, be safe.

[@foolishevil]

Both of you guys have insane skinny riding skills. Well done!

[@Eric.V.]

When Dave calls something terrifying…you know it’s bad😎👍

[@petedivine]

That trail is insane 🤯

[@redblanket647]

It brings the adventure to the viewers adding to the interest of the rider and trail. Exciting Keep filming 🎥 Way to go

[@frednannt8953]

Your in there with the trail Gods. Above mere mortals. 😅

[@assmanxhire]

Holy Insanity, I would never even think of attempting that trail. Total madness. Respect for going for it dudes. Kudos.

[@alienbrain7513]

Have so match fun watching this - greetz from somewhere in Germany! ❤

[@levskitoronto]

I am not sure if I am happy or sad that Ontario does not have these types of trails :) You make it look so easy. The camera effect and your riding make it seem effortless. Mad skills, good on you!

[@OpusSIG]

I would love to see a video where we get to know the builders of these trails. The effort and logistics of such an effort are remarkable. I think it would be awesome to do one of these videos with the trail builders by you explaining the features they build!

[@grizzkid795]

I believe Tod Fianders, aka Digger, who he mentioned, built a lot of this stuff in the 90's. Dangerous Dan Cowan was the master at riding these.

[@Scaleupfast]

Hats off to riding this stuff. Incredible percision!

[@CaliradoKid]

What a wild feature!

[@genisis53]

Nice riding Dave and friends! Those were awesome trails to watch someone ride

[@chasewighton4064]

I love the laughter, like you’re definitely having fun but also just a tiny bit freaked out by the skinniest skinnies to ever skinny.

[@Hh11873]

Love that laughter of accomplishment!

[@kaasmeester5903]

That's not a bike trail, that's a qualifier for the Darwin Awards 😃

[@bensharma7503]

Props on those chop stick 🤘🏾and everything else you ride too 😂

[@palexanderrice]

This camera is wild to watch. Really feels like I’m there

[@mikldude9376]

Wow , you peeps are legends tackling this track😂😂😂, props to the creator for building one scary challenging track.

[@J.GerrardMTB]

Absolute fire!! What an amazing trail and crazy good riding 🙌

[@exothermal.sprocket]

That's one wild ride. A person could spend all year in there sharpening skills.

[@AMS.15253]

You guys are aliens. Crazy skill set.

[@one234569and10]

I'm at 4:49 and MAN that stuff so far is gnarly!! The camera makes it look way skinner than it probably is too :D

[@CalebCarterFilm]

This is sick! 🤟🤟

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

I practiced a lot on train tracks this summer, things is train tracks are pretty straight generally speaking. Not sure I'm ready for this one 😂🤘

[@draggonhedd]

It looks like these trails were so designed around 26er hardtails with narrow bars and short wheelbases. super sick stuff!

[@Hook1fred]

That is unreal. Incredible that people can ride skinnys like that

[@BikingwithJP]

If a tree falls in the woods... can Dave make a skinny out of it? 😄 Insane skill level! This is the type of riding I love 🤩

[@acegardner4425]

You are truly amazing and inspiring!!! Such an awesomely gnarly trail and you sent it like a pro!!! Wow really enjoyed the video.

[@isaaccuartase3546]

Imagine if Dangerous Dan's Flying Circus was rebuilt, that would be awesome.

[@JadedOptimist]

Flashbacks of The Collective and maybe some Disorderly Conduct. Much respect!

[@OscarDelta013]

I would like to see HOW these trails were built! WOW no words...

[@madeinamericagarage]

CRAZY respect for you man! I'm building up a Deviate Highlander this Christmas and am gonna work up to going to the North Shore this upcoming summer!

[@rileymanderscheid9805]

I could only dream of riding something like that. My God

[@GHinWI]

I need to get a Devinci so I can ride like that.

[@SonyToprano1908]

Skinny vids are the best. Loved watching this!

[@barryguilbeau1097]

Those features are SICK!!

[@smartugs1]

The internets finest “nope!” specialist.

[@corianne968]

the way this looks like so much fun but i know i wouldn't even make it up there because i have absolutely no sense of balance whatsoever. i'd probably fall even trying to walk it. you have some mad skill, and bravery!

[@RedPanther2030]

"woah this was so scary" proceeds with retrying it again... bro you got the balls of an elephant. I'd never do that even if I had extra 9 lives.

[@TchSktch]

been a while since I watched your videos, I like the intro!

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Riding skinnies (or anything made of wood) isn't my kind of thing at all but it's so impressive to watch. Fantastic skills and video mate 👍

[@mikayla_collie]

That looked dangerous, Dave.

[@ymb9gomez884]

Unbelievable skill showed

[@djdradp8baller2]

y'all WILD. Insane skills and balls

[@timeandmaterialsdanforth5511]

I rode the north shore from 1998 well into the 2000s. Todd is a trail build master. Top notch and they last for years. I ended up getting tossed into a few of his vids too in some.small bits and crashes..lol.

[@bbieger2]

Rode that like 14 years ago. All the shore guys were legit as hell and grat to ride with!!

[@xunderoathx73]

Incredible balance! Awesome video!

[@RustedPlastic11111]

So enjoyable to view just no room to screw up You feel like ya actually riding the tracks from ya lounge

[@awesometuscaloosa7203]

Anxiety training, 😅 I really don’t wanna see someone get hurt before I go for a ride 😅 Good vid! Kudos!!

[@DavidW73]

I'm surprised you didn't just manual the first feature! Awesome riding Dave.

[@bobinator17]

I Love how you seem to ride the, seemingly Much riskier stuff at the end of the season... Like the potential for a Broken bone or two over the Winter months, is just an excuse to Cosy up... but if there's that kinda risk in spring/Summer, it would be the end of the world! lol. (or maybe it's just because you're riding with friends, instead of solo.... *shrugz*) None-the-less... Amazing Video... Amazing Trail ride! :) love watching you ride these dificult/technical trails... You're "Adrenaline spike"/"section success" chuckle, after an awesome section, Always fills me with joy!

[@earthymom68]

Except he rides all year 'round (as do I, and tons of local riders).

[@AyeeTeee_]

Absolutely insane! Great video

[@Annon89]

And at one time I thought I did some “tough” trails. Lol. These mtb trails are expert level never imagined trails like that. You guys are impressive riders.

[@benboo6351]

Watched this while riding on the roller trainer and I came off the sides a number of times!
