Fast, Steep, Loose

[@VanCan]

I should note that most of my videos are filmed a few weeks before I put them out. Thats why you still see us on group rides and taking risks. Given the current situation, I’ve stopped all group rides and only ride well below my comfort level. Stay safe out there!

[@thepedalsadvocate7389]

Your videos are a ray of sunshine on a sad day. 😍😎🍸

[@jackquilter]

Me trying to enjoy the video: 🙂 The brakes: RRrREEEEeeEEEEeeeeeEEEeeEEEeeEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEeeEEEEE

[@akantor5137]

Sram brakes... 🤣🤣🤔

[@DaleStone]

That chin to bar moment, I knew it was coming but still...KABLAM!

[@VanCan]

Glad I had the full face on!

[@mrdrifty6580]

The thing about big long slack bikes is they're really fast straight but harder to turn .

[@VanCan]

yup!

[@highline.6962]

„I have a botanical“ haha haven’t heard that one yet 😂 Beautiful trails! I like how your videos are just quality riding shots and no endless talking.

[@VanCan]

I stole that from another KZbinr, Mr Tonka!

[@highline.6962]

Nice that you’re giving him credit for it!

[@AndrewSantos]

Just rode Bullet Dodger for the first time recently, was happy to stumble on it, on a solo ride. One of my new favourites as well.

[@itstheterranaut]

You're a great rider. One of the things that catches me out (and I think it did for you too) on unfamiliar trails with quicker riders is not seeing the lines they took as they're too far ahead. Cant be helped. One other thing, about your videos- you're one of the few MTB video producers who doesn't manage to flatten out the image. That trail was not only steep- it LOOKED steep in your footage!

[@lorisfoucart2475]

Hey, I was subscribed a year ago, and then I come back and I remember why I loved your videos so much, just tire sound on loam, nice audio quality and nice voiceover, I don't have to play the DJ to save my ears everytime you speak, love them !

[@SemiSendy]

Variety is the spice of life! You're definitely right, best way to get faster is ride with someone faster on a particular trail than you.

[@deadrabbit1578]

These are some awesome looking trails, also beautiful forest!

[@combatmedic363]

Someone should tell that train conductor to lay off the horn. Haha

[@NKPMPRODUCTIONS]

oh how I wish I could flick my rear wheel around like the guy in the yellow jacket.

[@PedalingDave]

2:20 Staring down at the front wheel! I know not to do that but I keep falling into that habit too!

[@secondemailralfie]

Really wish I could go out mountain biking right now, these videos get me so inspired to go out when I can after this virus.

[@yodledeeyodleda3612]

9:10. Wait that's a jump. I have ridden that trail so much and I never knew. Another trail you should try there is called Nescafe

[@trainwrecktrailerz9175]

Trails looked gnarly! I need some of that in my life once this chaos ends! Stay safe out there

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

Super entertaining content. One of your best videos to-date.

[@brandonelrod04]

Seeing these trails makes me want to pack up and move to Canada. From what I have seen in Videos, Canada has the best trails by far!

[@Qinhaocheng]

Just found this was the exact route we rode this week 😄

[@rmack611]

I wish we could make trails like this in oakridge! Most of what we have extremely exposed on 8 inch trails with tons of untouched ground all around to be able to make trails like this

[@suchasreallife]

I appreciate the low key music so you can hear the tires rolling

[@TylerBoothGolf]

Burke looks like a fun mountain! Hopefully make it up there one day!

[@davidvukelich891]

Haha. I was there 2 days ago and took myself out on bullet dodger. I've done it so many times but still ended up crashing. If anyone is curious, it was on the third steep section at the beginning (on the cliffside)

[@lorenzo2862]

I'll like to try out that mountain sometime. I really enjoyed the video and commentary!

[@maritimeshreds2049]

Sweet video dude. Keep up the great work

[@Anders.B]

Great video. I’m not a big fan of the music while watching your riding, it was distracting......but that’s just my opinion. Love your channel, keep up the great work!

[@jackransier9146]

Burke mtn is so much fun great video too

[@philiplasky6760]

Great video oneday came to Isral and try the suger trail there's hard Mid Easy Thanks again

[@KingerUTube]

Monster Truckin' - Looks like it's a good bike for those trails.

[@stevencruz4937]

push yourself, you are right. I push my little one, and one day she will reach, then pass my very limited skill. I only i can keep up with her.

[@ToogyHowser]

Awesome looking trails! How does the enduro climb up the fireroads to the top of these trails?

[@VanCan]

Great! If only I climbed as well haha

[@thepedalsadvocate7389]

Burke is indeed the worst climb. Brutal. And I only do the lower third to Ridden Art.

[@tioconejo3138]

Nice trails great video.

[@thepedalsadvocate7389]

OWWWWWW!!!! 😍😍😍 Love Burke. Closer to my home in South Surrey. 🤣

[@thepedalsadvocate7389]

The zenith of of mountain biking experience is the ramp drop at 0735. I did it! Slowly.... Barely stayed on the bike. Took 20 minutes of holy eff mental prep and prayer to god.... Lol.

[@milktop1]

Great riding bro

[@51249ca]

so I guess I have done Bulletdodger before. Right after a monsoon rain storm.

[@antoniorocchi5791]

Keep up the great content bro 👍

[@51249ca]

[@FoCoFlowShow]

All I want to know is how many takes did you have to do to say “Just the tip” without laughing...

[@VanCan]

Just the once - I'm a very serious person

[@JimT.Pirate]

I wonder how many viewers automatically added the words "and only for a minute" in their heads..

[@FoCoFlowShow]

[@thenorthshoremtb6951]

Nice vid dude! I gotta go ride Burke...

[@VanCan]

Yup!

[@nicknimmo6309]

The fun begins on those steeps in the middle of August

[@VanCan]

I bet!

[@rascal1234]

Ha! I thought Burke Mt in Vt. The Canadian Burke looks great!

[@garrettpaschal5995]

The ad placed exactly when you went off the drop 😂

[@VanCan]

Ha good ol KZbin algorithm

[@TrailPOV]

At the rate things are progressing, it wouldn't surprise me that most cities close down their trails in the near future...both to distance people and prevent them from getting hurt and not being able to get help :(

[@VanCan]

I think you're right

[@jawzzy3]

BD is one of my favs as well. No love for the gap jump in the middle of that wide open section?

[@VanCan]

The bigger jumps are looking a bit rough.

[@aguinaldodumaya2611]

Very nice

[@TheNik604]

You should rise your bars with some 10 deg , IMHO.

[@goride365]

You would've been all over that trail, had you been on a (removed Enduro) Megatower 🤑

I am on an Enduro lol

The Enduro looks it just eats everything you throw at it.

Sick!

[@nickmorrison5856]

Man I think I may be developing an obsession to mountain biking, I bought a new bike last year (vitus sentier vr) and Just from my first few legit trails I’ve ridden this year it’s probably the most fun thing I’ve ever done(and I’ve only gone by myself!) but now the weather has been pretty bad in my area so I can’t ride and my skin is crawling! I can’t wait till the ski mountains turn into dh parks. Ps. If anyone has any tips for a beginner rider or knows any good trails in upstate ny(preferably Albany area) please let me know!

[@yi-vanstudenov464]

Tips: learn to actually pump a jump instead of just pulling up 2. Buy the more expensive bike usually, cause it will cost u more in the long run 3. Learn how to bail

[@aidansoutdoors7114]

Sweet

[@51249ca]

has anyone solved the SRAM squabble? Is it their stock rotors or stock pads, or both? My Shimano's rarely ever squealed (Deore M610, SLX, XT, Zee)

[@satn3345]

My go to Mtn! But there’s nothing here. Stay on the NShore. 😂 just kidding kinda

Would be. But I have the enduro lol

[@kentohayashityrcz5794]

Don’t mind me just scrolling through to see if anyone commented any dick jokes already at 00:33

[@cheeseballs1999]

Definitely is the worst climb ever soooo steep and loose

[@rikelmore4895]

when im riding behind a better rider i just white knuckle and go with the flow

[@VanCan]

That works is there isn't too many corners!

[@rikelmore4895]

VanCan I just ride 26in wheels

[@janettehaw8357]

Hi

[@TAZMON20]

What wheel size are they riding, your 29er is an excellent bike, it's a very capable bike for rolling over obstacles efficiently and it's quick in a straight line but unless you're an aggressive rider with good upper body strength then it's always going to feel like steering an ocean liner around switchbacks etc, dare I say it but you could possibly be over biked.

[@tomdick2044]

how these bikes take this abuse is beyond my understanding!!

[@rxface1524]

No dislikes thata what you deserve

[@mahki599tv]

Sounds like your breaks are surrendering.

[@VanCan]

They don't like the cold/wet

[@rubindublone5932]

You should definitely look after your brakes!

[@VanCan]

They get loud in the wet/cold

[@noliemig]

Norco sponsorship soon?

[@stevencruz4937]

I think the other rider was or will be.

[@flemming_j_]

notnoli Egg Not likely, he is riding a new specialized 😂😂😂 . And i dont think there is a sponsor deal, just because you appear on a Bike, in a video 😉

[@VanCan]

Braden is a Norco ambassador, no sponsors for me yet!

[@dubbreak]

See, should have gone with the 2020 sight instead of the Enduro 😆. That yellow is nasty though. Black carbon model is 👌.

[@BoonockADV]

i notice you using alot of rear brake without the front.

[@benhenmtb4013]

You mixed up Six and Red R. You started on six then turned on to red R then the second run did the opposite. Great riding though.

[@julianw5692]

I'm gonna go buy some new ear drums.

[@josereneducharme142]

Oh no! Not the "P" word again!
