If you’re riding an electric mountain bike, please do your research. Whether you’re using an electric bike, traditional bike, horse, motorized vehicle or your own legs, please know and obey trail regulations. We rode only eMTB legal trails. We talked to a provincial park supervisor before and after shooting to ensure we respected existing regulations and park boundaries. We all love the outdoors. The rules are there to protect it for all of us.

[@markr4983]

Hey guys. Recently picked up a Commencal e-bike... one q: did you guys manage that whole ride on only one 500wh battery charge? or did you charge up somewhere or bring an extra battery? Great wilderness area and great message in this video.!!! Awesome!

For your VHSish sections are you using a modern cam with some effects in post or are you using an oldboy cam that produces a vintage image

[@mahalomydude]

Old boy cam, boi.

[@gierbil]

Wow! a video I can actually watch!

[@dankboikae4150]

Bcpov recognised your sticker in the cabin in his bike packing video

[@ElijahAgostinelliStull]

too good boys. really hit home

[@williamquinton1800]

Another perfect video

[@zeeroll1806]

Every fucking video is a masterpiece.

[@ReubenRasmussen]

were you shooting on RED cams throughout that? or 1DX mkii? cuz the colour grading looks super cinematic

[@mahalomydude]

1DX Mark II for this one!

[@ReubenRasmussen]

@@mahalomydude oh I'm guessing with cinema primes mainly?

[@mahalomydude]

Correct!

[@hobmarg]

Are ebikes really allowed on the Chilcotin trails outside the park? I'm sure they are allowed on the moto/side-by-side decomissioned FSR's but on the single track like Taylor Creek Trail? Did you ask the Bridge River Valley trail guys and Tyax who work on them? I thought it was strictly non-motorized/NO ebikes.

[@mahalomydude]

We consulted with the Bridge River Valley Trail Association as well as a BC Parks supervisor prior to the trip and they gave us the OK to ride the trails seen in this video.

[@leothomas79]

come to australia

[@sebastianmoreno1568]

Your vids are amazing like always love the vids👌👌😋🔥
