Expresso is the Most Famous Tech Trail in the World

[@dallinkump7977]

By far the best camera quality ive seen in first person bike videos

[@bryanjordan8876]

That is the most fun looking trial I've ever seen!

[@DaleStone]

Popular for good reason!

[@MegaMilesteg]

Just discovered your channel, i love finding a little gem like this! Great footage!

[@MTBTrailSherpa]

The trail looked like it was in amazing shape that day. Excellent run!

[@ZephaniahDavis]

"I corner to the left better than I do the right." Most of us are similar. Mine's from doing skid after skid with my Huffy's coaster brake as a kid. *ding ding*

[@BCursed2012]

Dale- your riding is fantastic, and the quality of your videos is best in class- always amazed with how clean and quiet your bike rides- nothing but trail sounds. Would love to see your video settings, audio set up, and any post-production you do.

[@DaleStone]

Thanks! There's nothing special to my process whatsoever. Standard ol' settings. 🙂

Was hoping for some Sunday morning stoke before heading up to Squamish. Guess I’ll have to wait until I get back. Congrats on 9k!

[@lynxg4641]

Now that's my kind of "flow" trail :-D I'm right there with you on the cornering thing, corner left much better/more confidently than right. Not sure if it's because I ate it real hard on a right hand corner when I first was starting and really did in my shoulder and hence am a bit shy to really attack or the fact that I'm left foot forward, which seems to lend itself to left corners better and need to practice switching which foot forward more.

[@DaleStone]

Likely the driving foot position has something to do with it, as I'm the same!

[@metro4791]

That’s interesting, I much prefer left hand corners as well but I ride right foot forward

[@kevinmcarthur3614]

@@DaleStone i have dabbled with switching forward foot in berms and it feels good. Also just fun to ride switch footed or use it to rest your forward leg on long rides. That being said I ride way more BMX and i never switch feet in bowl corners, but you can get "inside the bike" on a 20" in a way you cant get even close to on a big wheeler....

[@findtherightbeat]

It's amazing that you know the nuances of the trail very well: 1:09 and 3:52. By the way, it'd be interesting to see some telemetry overlay but I understand it requires more effort when editing

[@DaleStone]

The only accurate telemetry data I can overlay are power and heartrate; speed and elevation are not accurate enough for my liking!

[@BenderRodriguezBender]

Riding style, not often seen on you. Please more :)

[@nicks2716]

That was fast and smooth Dale. About the turning, I’m a little bit “better” (or, to be accurate, more confident) turning left too. I’m left foot forward. Question: are there ambi riders out there? Or does everyone pretty much have a preferred and consistent foot forward?

[@DaleStone]

I can get by with either foot forwards most of the time, even jumping, but racing I'll lean on (ha) my left. Most people are pretty rigid on always riding with the same foot forwards.

[@ShitStefanShoots]

If you are right handed, you will generally prefer left foot forward (on the bike and on a skate-or surfboard) and with that comes a preference for left turns. There ARE in fact some goofies who prefer the other side around (my wife and my brother are right handed but even get on the bike from the drive-side) - just like lefties do.

[@forestkan459]

What field do you have on the wahoo LED? Also, any issues with GPS accuracy with that unit? Having issues with my Bolt V2. Could be the auto pause.

[@DaleStone]

Heart rate, no issues unless I'm in steep canyons. Auto pause definitely always off!

[@latell3]

When was this? I forgot that there were corners that weren’t dust

[@DaleStone]

Early-mid June, agreed!

[@Ben_Kasper]

I’m not gonna lie I got kind of sketched out when you were hitting those berms at the start

[@DaleStone]

Lean hard and pray!

[@benbarber1863]

moisture?!? on Trails!?! what years is this!

[@terboh1117]

I feel like I corner worse to the right because I have my left foot forward. I don't know if thats the case, just a hunch.

You're going to struggle to get anything solid at that pricepoint, even in the used market I think. Good luck!
