ENDLESS SLABS | Lap 1 Squamish's famous Slab Trails

[@RideWithGravity]

10:25 | "I hear people down there...shall we assume they rode down there?" Then you guys drop into absolute gnar. Love it! 🤘

[@BCpov]

+Horns High Mountain Biking gotta convince yourself it's okay sometimes!

[@SGMTB]

Amazing trails! Those of us in BC are so lucky to have the ability to make videos showcasing these fantastic trails!

[@BCpov]

+SG - MTB 🤘

[@norquay626]

I love those trails. Still doing them on my XC (haven't upgraded yet), so sometimes a little slower than I'd love to ride, but amazing riding in the area. Again, great camera work and high quality videos. I'm really glad to see that you're talking/commenting more than over the summer. It starting to make your videos really fun and interesting to watch

[@BCpov]

+Norquay glad you're, enjoying them. The commentary definitely helps i think. Sometimes it's hard to remember to do so!

[@norquay626]

Lol, just remember, Claudio never has to climb a hill, just go down. I'd think he'd be able to talk a little easier than those of us that go out and climb 300,400, 1000 metres before enjoying the downhill

[@AdventureDorks]

Awesome! I'm in Squamish riding all week and using your videos to plan my rides. Cheers, Greg

[@BCpov]

Nice, the slab trails are so special! Have fun out there!

[@TrevorMay]

Both myself and Jonathan rode the slab at 10:30 from the top high entrance, it's steeper but was still able to control speed.

[@BCpov]

+Trevor May I'll give that a try next time. What the best way to access that other than walking up?

[@TrevorMay]

The top/full entrance is off of 'Dirk's Diggler'. The whole rock slab line is called 'Bearly Adequate'.

[@michaelconklin8499]

That was some really good control down those. Having ridden this exact route a couple weeks ago, I know these are harder than they look! I quickly realized I should of put new brake pads on as I barely had any stopping power. If you see scattered moss in the middle of In and Out burger that was my crash pad haha.

[@BCpov]

+Michael Conklin nice! I don't think that Moss provides much protection for the rock underneath

[@Guineson]

Awesome riding, would love to have stuff like that around me to ride!

[@BCpov]

+Guineson sometimes you gotta travel a bit! Roadtrip!

[@joejoemtb8011]

I have to stop watching your videos or I will succumb to the dreaded disease of trail envy. Great video!

[@BCpov]

Sounds like a great disease! Gets you out there!

[@rudyt9072]

Keep up the good work!

[@BCpov]

+Rudy Steep Decents good to hear from someone who likes steep decents! Or is it descents?

[@motardabordo]

Beautiful spot

[@BCpov]

+Luís Silva 🤘

[@piw213]

When did you go? This past Thursday? Trails were running soooo great in Squampton. Also, you didn't show how you cleaned the climb up to Value Added :P

[@BCpov]

+piw213 this was sometime in September, though i can't remember. Check out my Strava for details

[@todduncyclist7974]

ha ha I actually said "oh my gosh please don't die mate!" involuntarily while watching this. also how do you say "coming in hot" in French - venir à chaud?

[@BCpov]

+Todd Uncyclist haha! All under control!

[@todduncyclist7974]

what kind of seat/saddle is that you have? the one with holes in it.

[@kadenmonfredi6611]

How do you get your footage to look so good?

[@BCpov]

+Kaden Monfredi a big part of it is the grading i do in post

[@kadenmonfredi6611]

BCpov nice I can’t imagine how good your footage would look if you had a hero 6!

[@SGMTB]

The issue with the Hero 6 and Hero 5 is the audio. I'm almost certain he's using a Hero 4.

[@BCpov]

Yes I'm using a hero 4. The form factor with the 5 and 6 don't work well with the gimbal either. Audio was bad on the 5 maybe they fixed it in the 6? The dynamic range of the 6 is interesting. Also the 4k at 60 fps.. but I'm not sure if you can do that in super view.

[@kadenmonfredi6611]

BCpov yes that makes sense because I was also very impressed with the audio, and I was aware about the bad audio with the hero 5. But great vids man I really enjoy them!

[@paytonkuz2217]

Nice vid, and colour grade. What are your gopro settings?

[@BCpov]

+WNDRLST I'm basically using Jordan boost Masters settings. He's got a great video on his channel explaining gopro settings.

[@paytonkuz2217]

cool thx

[@Smowling]

Love your stuff, here is a comment! Are you still in Japan, how is/was it?

[@BCpov]

+Smowling yup still in Japan! Really enjoying it! Hit up a few great riding areas and a few not so great ones. I'll be here till the end of November.

[@michael.finally]

It looked good on camera :)

[@raivkka4313]

You don't really get how steep it is looking down but when looking back up the trail, WHOA...

[@BCpov]

+Raivkka Xi the shots back up definetly help give an idea!

[@Blooben]

1) How tall are you? 2) What size Slash do you ride? 3) Please can we have a bike check on the Slash? 4) Please can we have a bike check on James' bike? 5) Keep making sick videos Thanks from Northern England :)

[@BCpov]

+TheOrangutank I'm 5 11 or 180 cm and ride the large (19.5). I'll definitely do a bike check! Also I'm sure James would be down for that as well

[@DemonPrecProd]

I have seen that line all the way too the right , it's pretty much a 2 story vertical face that nutter's ride LOL

[@BCpov]

+DemonPrecProd I'll have a look then!

[@jonthemountainbikingviking4127]

Slabs don't look super steep on the video but your tire sliding says it's steep. In n Out Burger in Canada? I had no idea. :D

[@BCpov]

Most of the slabs are just steep enough to give you a scare, but you can still control your speed on them.

[@hobmarg]

Is Penthouse the trail with the crazy option line that has a rock drop into a slab?

[@BCpov]

+hobmarg hrmmm. I'm not sure. I can think of one spot on the trail that might have that option.

[@yakbiker75]

👌

[@BCpov]

+ausmtbiker 🤘

[@truls0206]

damn this is steep

[@BCpov]

+truls0206 the steeper the better! I think?
