Half Nelson // Mountain Biking Squamish BC

[@HRRN-gh3wj]

I could watch this all day

[@survivorguy5607]

I haven’t even got my mountain bike nor been mountain biking but you are the person who makes me want to buy a bike and go biking.

[@TheLoamRanger]

The Loam Ranger’s #1 Fan hey! Glad to hear I've inspired you to get out there -- that's what this channel is all about! If you could please not use my logo for your profile pic I would really appreciate it. It can be confusing for other people viewing the comments or searching for channels. Thanks! Now go buy that bike and start shredding.

[@survivorguy5607]

Done I changed my pic but I have one more thing to ask you, do you have any advice

[@samowamo10]

26K?! Dude, congrats! SO happy to see this grow, you're the type of shredder youtube needs. Keep er goin!

[@gustofwind6681]

This is the trail I’m so excited for next year!

[@TheLoamRanger]

The JaGGeDGaM3r you're gonna love it! So many different ways to ride it depending on your speed too.

[@jubalvw3302]

That High five at the end ...I'm glad you included all of that. LOL

[@justinshearer5029]

One of my favorite trails ive ridden

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya I can't get enough of it when I'm there.

[@2dcutout]

Not so dry any more! So much snow here in Whistler today, so Squamish is pretty wet! Some sweet trails there though.

[@TheLoamRanger]

+Ben Ertl haha ya it's a little different now I'm sure!

[@JordanBoostmaster]

Are you actually not allowed to shuttle past that point?? I have done that once years ago though, maybe it's a new thing

[@TheLoamRanger]

+Jordan Boostmaster ya it's pretty frowned upon... although you can shuttle up to the right instead, but it's not a direct shot to Half Nelson.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Anyone else been to Squamish? What's your favorite trail in the area?

[@majestictiger6012]

The Loam Ranger I wish I could, but since I live a long way off I just gotta do with 2 trails in flat Holland

[@Merlijntrades]

Majestic Tiger eeeey nederlanders

[@heythere1238]

19th hole

[@somnambulantable]

There's so many! I really love the ones up around Alice Lake though, generally. Like Rupert's and Room With A View and In & Out. I like the rock rolls/slabs. Those things feel quintessentially "Squamish" to me.

[@keehotee1357]

Have not ridden there much, but Rupert and Leave of Absence are awesome. I'll be back in 2018 God willing.

[@beazye428]

Hey i was wondering can you do another video on those trails like the blue velvet one?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya! I'd say this one is pretty close, but a fair amount shorter than Blue Velvet. Another video/trail that's similar to that one would be my Una Moss video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5vMqmBrit2mp8k) as well as my Crank It Up video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/boDYin6bgs2qiq8). Aaand Hula Girl on Mt.Swansea is high speed and flowy too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4aTaIKtjMqeoJI I'll be posting some more fast, flowy jump trails in the future, for sure. Cheers!

[@beazye428]

The Loam Ranger thanks bro ,Keep it up !

[@BikingWIthPanda]

so glad to support your travels, friend! amazing trails :-)

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks for the support man! Can't get enough of Half Nelson.

[@dank3823]

That was an awesome trail. Berm heaven.

[@TheLoamRanger]

+Dan K totally. Every time I go through town it's a must hit trail. So fun.

[@michaelramlal9876]

I love the whirring as well as the sounds, when the tires move on the dirt and wood...Is that weird?

[@TheLoamRanger]

+Michael Lancaster totally normal as far as I'm concerned :D

[@survivorguy5607]

Ok I will make sure to change my pick only before I do, do you have any advice

[@renatozivcic5057]

Great video as always!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

Nice! Dude, you're wife was going to leave you hanging on the "high five"! :)

[@willsumner6914]

Awesome, loving that wide trail! And you got to do it with your wife! Wish I knew a girl to ride with haha.

[@TheLoamRanger]

+Will Sumner haha ya she's a keeper!

[@nickcummins3084]

heh, I bet it doesn't look like that now...great video, thanks for sharing

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha ya... a little wetter for the next few months.

[@Chadizms]

Looks like a lot of fun.

[@pabloramon768]

THIS IS A BLASTING TRAIL!

[@gouyleonard8711]

Sweet ride! Have you decided what will be your next bike? maybe the new reign?

[@TheLoamRanger]

The new bike is on it's way as I type this. Not a Reign this time around! Cant wait.

[@lyessze]

Didnt see it but i know it is gonna be a good vid

[@Isaac-hu3lq]

Do you think you’ll ever come to the UK to ride the trails here?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Isaac heck yes I will! I'm always looking at new trip ideas and I'd love to get out that way. When's the best time of year for riding?

[@Isaac-hu3lq]

The Loam Ranger The best time is probably as summer ends and the start of autumn. I go riding up around Surrey hills and a place called the Look Out Swinley Forrest. They’re great fun if you go on the more difficult routes.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Good to know. I'll have to look into it for fall 2018.

[@Isaac-hu3lq]

The Loam Ranger Awesome.

[@timovanarkel4320]

Did you already decide where you wanna go in the wintermonths?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Timo Van Arkel I'm headed to Phoenix next week but plans are still up in the air after that. I'd like to do 3-4 trips though. It's gonna be a good winter!

[@timovanarkel4320]

The Loam Ranger That sounds awesome. Already looking forward to the vids!

[@dylanburr777]

Awesome video!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Dylan!

[@alexkarliychuk504]

Just beautiful! Track is amazing, sunny day, good weather and riding skills are cool! Thumb Up! =)

[@TheLoamRanger]

Alex Karliychuk thanks man!

[@fokkesm9832]

What is that outro song. Btw I love your video they're really relaxing.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! I made the music for the outro's. It was initially made for the "Coastal Escape" video I did a while back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnu9kmCFo7eYiKs

[@fokkesm9832]

Oh, you did a great job then, I like it a lot. I thought it was part of a longer song.

[@ultimatedays9646]

What bike do you recommend do you think Carr era vulcans are goofy

[@TheLoamRanger]

Never heard of that one! Recommending a bike is tough because it really depends on the type of riding you're wanting to do, and your budget. The Giant Reign I was riding in this one is great for most conditions and can handle some scarier stuff too.

[@didierja]

I want to go here, but I dont have a mountainbike. Is iT worth buying one when your still in high school? Cause i dont know if I Will have enough time. (Ps. Great vids, keep up the great work!🙂)

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Didier. I'd say rent a bike or two first to see what you like and don't like. It's a big purchase, for sure!

[@xHellraiser162x]

Well it depends on how much money you have access too. My hard tail merida big seven cost 1200. But i was hooked as soon as i tried mountain biking on my brothers bike. So i would agree in saying rent or try it out on a bike that you dont own.

[@IceCubeArrie]

Dude it's so beautiful , do you live in those areas?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Armin Nel I wish! I live about 14 hours from there in the flat prairies 😂

[@danielthomson1882]

How often do you go riding with your better half?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Not as often as I'd like, that's for sure. Probably once every few weeks in the summer. We've got two kids, so a lot of times, one of us is back with them while the other rides. We make it work!

[@daflykiwiz656]

What bike do you use? My bike just broke and I think it might be time to get a quality bike. Keep up the great videos!

[@TheLoamRanger]

DaFlyKiwiz I was riding a Giant Reign in this video, which I'm putting up for sale this week! Wink wink. Haha

[@daflykiwiz656]

The Loam Ranger Knarly!

[@ecg15]

lol freaking star wars speed racers stuff here. i need to hold on here my eyes are watering

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha yup, it's all speed and flow!

[@ollydickinson2196]

I have Half Nelson grips on my hardtail!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Bike Stuff then it's your destiny to ride this trail. Make it happen!

[@ollydickinson2196]

The Loam Ranger. Oh my, I really do hope so! I'll have to tell my dad about the flight though!! 😂 (UK to Canada).

[@xHellraiser162x]

Whats your home trail?

[@todduncyclist7974]

The Loam Ranger no gimbal for that run eh?

[@TheLoamRanger]

No I was using a gimbal for this. It was just hating its life because I didn't have it set up properly at the time haha.

[@raghavendrashekhawat3249]

Awesome veido as usuall. keep it I m a big fan of it 😊😊😊

[@albinshibu8246]

which mtb is this

[@MatthewPep]

best youtuber ever!!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Matthew Peppel dang thanks man!

[@connerp466]

Is it worth buying a Walmart mountain bike for this? I want to do this but don't have the money to buy one near as good as yours.

[@TheLoamRanger]

+ZeZy Gaming I wouldn't recommend a Walmart bike for something like this. Check out the buy/sell section on Pinkbike for some decent deals on good bikes. Or rent a few times while you get into the sport. Those department store bikes are just made to *look* like mountain bikes, but aren't actually built for rough trails. Hope that helps!

[@connerp466]

Where is Squamish?

[@TheLoamRanger]

+ZeZy Gaming British Columbia

[@thasius4421]

Hey I just have a week full of tests last week (we have that 4 times a Year in the netherlands) and you were my motivation!! 3 weeks earlier I Made a deal with my dat that if I have a 8/10 for math at the end of the year I can have a Scott Spark 960 lol. Yesterday I got for math a 8;4/10 so if I keep watchin your vids I Will have my first full suspension! In otter Words; you make awesome video’s keep iT up!

[@thasius4421]

Stupid autocorrection

[@TheLoamRanger]

Nice work! That's awesome to hear. Keep it up and get that bike! I'll do my part and post more videos :D

[@DougMayer]
