I love how whenever you hear Dave laugh, you know he just almost died. 😂

[@nicksnicknet]

exactly - although I keep hearing Justin Timberlake for some reason... 🤔

[@charlottesmom]

So true!! I'm going "Gaaaah!" He's laughing. 😂

[@ajikanfan2]

@@charlottesmom or rather, 'oh please don't'

[@charlottesmom]

@@ajikanfan2 The people that do these trails have nuts of steel, I'm nutless (being a female) but you couldn't pay me to do some of these trails. I'd be kissing trees left and right!

[@ajikanfan2]

@@charlottesmom I wholeheartedly agree. Nut sack or no nut sack, I've met quite a few lasses that are much braver than most guys. That aisde I feel a tripple pirouette is sufficient to prove my bravery

[@gyvren]

Watching you traverse these runs is like a quick glimpse into paradise for me. I love the deep lush forests up north. I’ve lived in a hot climate most of my life. I’d give just about anything to live out the rest of my days somewhere cool and lush.. 💙

[@leonidas79]

bro same, specially now with this abnormally hot period i'm living in my country, and adding to that i live near the beach... It'll be a dream to just get to live around there and go through those tracks without 5kg (obv exageration) of suncream in my skin at all times...

[@thomaswaldron310]

I'm always amazed at how tiny some of those gaps in between the trees look, but somehow you manage to travel straight through them. Great riding as always!

[@Mindlab1984]

You can only imagine how steep those trails are

[@joshward4712]

Or you could go ride them and figure it out!

[@benturner4352]

STEEP.

[@pubplays368]

They’re steep but not as steep as the footage makes it out to be. These cameras are known for exaggerating angles due to the fish lens.

[@lukeisbadlol]

@@pubplays368 Yeahhh no. If someone can do a stoppie at that speed down a slab its super steep

[@Lifebydeath]

@@lukeisbadlolol anything even slightly steep can make you do a stoppie if you lay into your front brake or don’t know how to ride steep although I’m sure it’s fun

[@JordanBoostmaster]

Dave, you were right, it was better to drop that!

[@dreadeddarko]

I love this. I was particularly impressed @2:43 when the guy ahead of you rode down that hill on his front wheel! Amazing!

[@Onthemainline]

This has become my favorite MTB channel for sure! Keep up the quality content!

[@charlottesmom]

I'm just constantly astounded these bikes actually make it out of these trails intact!

[@TheChickenmilker]

My favorite part was being able to watch the different perspectives from the same ride with VanCan, Dale Stone, and your footage. Cool stuff!

[@blaine142]

Man, I’m a huge fan of the insta360 after watching this. So much view ahead and of the bike. Seems so natural

[@ddangerousddave]

The wider field of view is great. I love being able to see more of the bike and trail.

[@blaine142]

I agree 100%, your go pro angles were always prime, but just that little extra bike from this camera in there really makes it feel like I’m on the bike. Keep ‘em coming!

[@hitmanmb]

If you decide to sell some merch, "EVERYTHING is a drop" should be on a t-shirt.

[@seanroberts381]

That forest from 3:20 on is incredible. And that bit at 9:00 looks familiar from a Remi video. Nasty steep and off camber.

[@nealdmiller]

Essentially 14 minutes of riding down one GIMUNGOUS Planet Earth Bone!! Terrific footage!!

[@Mtb.Company]

love what u do so much u are an inspiration

[@fivetool]

Your camera setup is perfect. It is a great angle and very clear.

[@danielhowarth8397]

Dave the insta360 gives an insane sense of speed and steepness. This ride looked crazy👍

[@ddangerousddave]

Yep! The Insta360 angle is way more immersive for me.

[@hegartyj1]

I love your videos Dave. I Watch you and Dale Stone a lot. You’ve asked for feedback on cameras in the past. I’m a total and utter noob about cameras - I really have no idea. But I have to say that I prefer the look of Dales picture. Yours looks a little more like a fishbowl lens or something. I still love your videos. I’m only commenting because I remember you inviting opinions.

[@rainydaze3525]

Your bikes are amazing to withstand so much, I’m loving every exciting moment!

[@destiny4life84]

most modern mountain bikes can

[@JIBBING_1980S]

The Remy Metailler move. But he's pre-hop before the receiver

[@Blazagg]

5:50 Holy hell that was sick!

[@haakonknutsen]

Great trail and always fun watching you guys,but the insta360 doesn't do a good job versus the gopro. Much more blury sections with the insta camera.. with that said,so fun seeing you guys having fun and sharing it with us😅

[@heyy13]

I'm getting used to the new camera but jesus that looked scary! Awesome riding.

[@originalsusser]

Your last unbroken sesh was epic, some nice lines & fast tight turns all at a clip... good job

[@2Philthy]

Damn that looks steep AF!! Usually cameras don't justify how steep trails actually are, so this must be wicked steep!

[@trailjockeytj6160]

I love Rupert! My favorite trail when I visited Squamish! And it seems like you could’ve made a sideways sad face with the black dots, although it would’ve been three eyes. Great video as always, thanks for the content!

[@Tsudkyk]

Wow, these trails are pure madness!

[@jesselopez5612]

You guys are good. Wish I could ride like that. Unfortunate I started riding at 45 years of age I'm 68 now. But you guys are awsome.

[@jeremyprovonsil7886]

That notadrop was was so clean Dyson stopped selling vacuums!

[@FedBiker]

Such an amazing place. Is it normal that there's no snow at this time?

[@ZRMTB]

I see cable actuated derailleur. What happened to AXS?

[@ajikanfan2]

I honestly can't conceivably imagine doing any of this and laughing about it afterwards.

[@WingingItCrypto]

Awesome ride, love that camera setup too 🔥

[@smtkelly]

That was proper exciting. It's like the shoot drops are aimed at the tree's.

[@rubenvor]

Tell us more about the audio, how do you get rid of the wind noise from the front mics? A video of your whole set up would be nice 👍🏼

[@ddangerousddave]

Check out the saved stories on my Instagram profile. I just did a quick video showing that.

[@takeamericaback1554]

The Terrain there looks awesome I definitely don't have anything like this around me

[@5DEV]

Ripping!!! Nice Bling on the Bars. ☔🔥⚙

[@therealdefc]

I finally give you an sub, I could watch these videos all day long when work is a bit lame and theres nothing to do - keep it up :D

[@duncanwright301]

I gotta be honest, I’m not keen on the insta360 footage. I think it definitely captures steepness a little better, but at the expense of some extreme distortion around the edges.

[@mamo4731]

Are you running the C1 or B1 air spring on the lyrik? People claim the B1 is just a bit suppler while the C1 offers more support midstroke. Have you tried both?

[@andymiller3889]

The angle of the trees at 5:36😮

[@samiabdallah13]

Awesome trail, where is this?

[@joshward4712]

Love to hear the laughter!

[@owenswarthout686]

Sick video brotha! May I ask what shock you are running on your Commencal? Thanks!

[@notice_fpv]

The insta360 is rad, but now even flat, peddley sections look like they are downhill... And it makes your bars look narrow. (Ignore me, I'm in a mood or something)

[@gametime2473]

Dude in front of you doing front wheelies down a rock face... that is pretty nuts.

[@OscarDelta013]

Which model of Commencal do you use? Crazy trail, outstanding shooting

[@limwellsingson]

Hi Dave amazing video as always! Do you mind sharing your X3 settings in this video? I always suffer with motion blur when in the woods..

[@tb4326]

I started MTB’ing in 1991 when it was either DH or XC. XC ruled the Southeast so that’s what I know the most and how I ride. Over the years I’ve shifted to more All-Trail, but watching guys ride Enduro is always impressive to me. I wish I could ride 20% of what they ride.

[@MTB_Corbin]

Any notice Dales new bike?? Also what happened to the red stem face??

[@watsonthedog264]

dale n dave are both running sponsored by 5dev and running their ultra fancy one piece machined titanium stem, since it’s one piece of Ti there isn’t a faceplate so no red option!

[@sladiewolf]

You're living my childhood dream - thank you for giving me a glimpse of what I cannot do

[@xfelipepereira]

Awesome trail, mate. What is the tire combo you are using? Cheers!

[@hugglesthemerciless]

As an albertan since it's february I keep wondering where the snow is lol

[@robertcartwright577]

Dunno where you live bro but the trails you ride always look sick 🤘🏻 awesome channel

[@44optikal44]

what you are prefer? gopro or insta360 x3? because I can't decide which action camera to buy, I'm thinking about dji osmo 3 or insta x3. but am scare abou footage quality from x3 becasue i saw many videos with really bad quality from mtb but your footage looks really nice from bike

[@Blazagg]

Damn this looks super fun as a group!

[@steveschafer6298]

Super skills, amazing trails!

[@simon__3919]

Nice ride. Amazing trial. New stem? =)

New stem? Or is that a different sx?

[@williampickering8484]

Rupert in Alice Lake. Actually a very rideable trail. Just may take other people longer.

[@finmymate]

Normal people’s brain: “OMG THAT DRIP IS LIKE 15 FEET” Mtb brains: “damn that’s like 3 inches i*d say maybe 4 on a good day”

[@philwu271]

Amazing trail and riding! Where is this?

[@kylegoplin]

how do u stop the wind noise

[@OVER-bENGINEERED]

Insta360 seems to portray the elevation changes better than most cameras. I like it!

[@kylegoplin]

is there a big diffrence between the Insta360 ONE X2 and the x3?

[@ddangerousddave]

I've only used the X3 so I can't give you a comparison on that, sorry!

[@kylegoplin]

@@ddangerousddave all good! Thanks for the upload btw

[@TheRotundRider]

So interesting watching you guys send this drop/roll and then Remi also releasing an all out on the same trail. /edit: totally a drop

[@mattiacecchettimtb]

Did you recorded Single lens or 360?

[@ddangerousddave]

I film in 360 mode and reframe 👍

bon run les gars merci pour ces images

[@popsicle1320]

What bike do you use?

[@mattiacecchettimtb]

Is that the audio from the camera?

[@ddangerousddave]

Yep, straight of the X3

[@mattiacecchettimtb]

@@ddangerousddave do you think in terms of audio it can go better than a gopro? i am vlogging with gopro audio and insta360x2 video. the audio of the insta sucking a bit.

[@gustavoarjon8198]

Where is it? These trails looks so sick 💥

[@peterblades]

And then there's Remy Metailler who jumped the entire rock

[@jeremyprovonsil7886]

Not sure if you’ve ever seen it, but there’s this one video where some oldschool trials guy also jumps most of the rock on a full suspension mountain bicycle. Pretty sick clip!! The guy deserves some props for that move, most definitely! If I can remember his name I’ll come back and update this post. 👍🏽

[@GhislainLeduc]

feels strange but it really shows the steep of the trail!

[@obediahartorius-il4qg]

The viewpoint honestly is great 👍 although I swear I thought you were going to clip your hand on a tree at least 50 times. Anyone else notice that wood berm like feature towards the end that was used as a photo shoot location for a two page Norco ad that's been in ALL the recent MTB mags? Could be wrong but I think it's an ad for the Fluid

[@TheArtofPassionNZ]

Can anyone tell me what trail this was please? Looks stunning!

[@eliasgraugaard6757]

How much travel do your Commencal have? is it a Meta?

[@reinhardtkk]

Great videos Dave!

[@BIIIKES]

Big fan of yours, but not a fan of 360 cams. Please bring back the crispy GoPro footage!

so sick dude, im coming over from aus in may if you wanna make some content with me!!
