Fluffy Bunny | Hydrocut, Kitchener, Ontario | MTB

The Easter bunny has arrived! And I now begin to comb through hard-drives worth of raw footage to keep up during this quarantine. Lots of goodies in the queue, let me know what style of trails you'd like to see!

I almost removed that triple because very few people could do it. ( I can't -- just the double ). Kinda glad it stayed though. Good to see someone hit it.

[@DaleStone]

I'm glad you ended up keeping it! It's a really difficult, low consequence challenge for those who are interested. Can't think of many other optional jibs quite like this one at Hydrocut.

[@RCMTB]

Wow nice trail, cheers from France 👍🚵🏻‍♂️

[@Qinhaocheng]

You made that triple look easy! After a few attempts casing it hard, I just gave up.

[@DaleStone]

It is seriously hard to clear, you have to pump into the roller as hard as possible AND pop off the lip high. You got it!

[@jcklondon91]

DYK that Kamikaze is eponymous with "that guy" who invariably drops into the b-line about two seconds after you leave the top. Banzai!

[@DaleStone]

Haha, that would make complete sense. That b-line was one of the most dangerous trail designs I've ever seen!

[@joshwhitee]

Yeah! This was my group's project on that trail when it was built. First person I've seen actually do it!

[@DaleStone]

That's super rad! It's a bit of a reach to make it to the landing haha.

[@joshwhitee]

@@DaleStone 100% it is... I can never get the speed. Glad you've still got some content stored to keep us entertained while we're stuck on road bikes in the countryside.

[@gearbox1858]

He’s the first and only I’m guessing. It’s a great trail but, no offence, this is a wasted area. It sucks the life and speed out of 95% of the people who ride it. Muddy paws jumps are bang on. You need the downhill speed or these are a waste.

[@DaleStone]

Strongly disagree! The triple flows nicely as a roller option if you pump through it correctly, and provides an optional expert line choice (something that Hydrocut has always been seriously lacking). Win win, really.

[@gearbox1858]

Dale Stone I agree to completely disagree...lol....you could stand and watch this area of the trail for the rest of the summer and like I said 95% of the riders will completely butcher it. It’s really a flowing blue trail with these stuck in the middle

[@canadmos]

Nice videos. Are you from Ontario? I'm sorry you had to come here - BC looks so much more enjoyable. haha

[@DaleStone]

Yep, grew up in Ontario! The riding is pretty sweet around the GTA with a ton of variety, but BC definitely fits me a bit better. 😄

[@knordberg]

That looked really fun.

[@DaleStone]

XC4lyf

[@RobJMTB]

Nice dude! Now, lets talk about that LOOOOOOOOOOOONG cable. lol

[@DaleStone]

The demo bike struggle!

[@Qinhaocheng]

Btw, always wondering if you did any edit on the color of your videos. The color looks way nicer than other people’s GoPro vids.

[@DaleStone]

Thanks. Yeah I do color grade my videos. Years of practice with Photoshop has somewhat transferred over to video!

[@nathanmartin9990]

Hey man love the videos, I've been searching for some trails in southern Ontario with lots of berms preferably downhill sections any recommendations?

[@DaleStone]

I've thought about this all day and honestly can't think of many exceptional berm/flow trails in Ontario. The obvious answer is Showcase at Blue Mountain. The less obvious and more XC answer is Runway at Christie Lake. Not many options due to the lack of elevation haha.

[@mmmzzz8]

@@DaleStone Unfortunately blue mountain cancelled their trails this year :/

[@DaleStone]

Yeah I heard that, pretty big blow to a lot of Southern Ontario riders.

[@KS-uv7yg]

What do you use to film / for filming stability?

[@DaleStone]

This video was filmed on a hero 6 black with a karma grip. More modern videos are with a hero 8 black on my chin bar.

[@YBMTB]

that cable...

[@myloraffaele-hamar]

I thought the title said floppy bunny lol

[@DaleStone]

I was even confused when riding this trail as I said "floppy bunny" at the end. 😂

[@myloraffaele-hamar]

@@DaleStone I loved your video with VanCan on Ladies Only, you should do more with him!

[@DaleStone]

That's the plan! Both of us like the jank, and lots of it. Just need to rebuild society first.

[@_Vicarious]

What bike is that Dale? Could only make out the Evolve logo on the top tube.

[@barrie3434]

It's a norco revolver

[@DaleStone]

Yep!

[@_Vicarious]

Ah, cheers.

[@noahtiessen7968]

What bike are you riding in this video?

[@DaleStone]

Norco Revolver 120!

[@noahtiessen7968]

Dale Stone are you a norco rider or do you just like there bikes

[@DaleStone]

I'm actually one of the engineers at Norco, so I'd better like our bikes haha.

[@noahtiessen7968]

Dale Stone that’s so amazing actually. I work at a norco bike shop and they have some really amazing geometry going on.

[@DaleStone]

@@noahtiessen7968 nice! Glad to hear the positive feedback, we'd like to think we know what we're doing most of the time haha.
