I Can't Believe We Get to Ride Here

[@thecount1001]

well done. the guy on the hardtail is a freaking trail ninja.

[@skiMTB]

Winter in Southern California... In the Orange County... Pretty awesome weather too.

[@Kaisersozze]

Living in Calgary, I can't believe you guys can ride trails in March. Here the snow and ice at the very earliest won't melt until end of May this year and can't ride earlier or else it damages the trails.

[@VanCan]

We can pretty much ride year round!

[@PaulThePunter]

Intense music worked.

[@mattgies]

And here I was expecting he'd prank us with "Yakety Sax" or "Never Gonna Give You Up".

[@thepedalsadvocate7389]

Always love new videos from VanCan. I put them onto my Twitter to spread the word to the masses. 😍

Cool trails! Lucky that you have mountains!

[@josereneducharme142]

The drama. The tension!!!! I am turning from holding my breath. Your sense of humor lies in the thousands degree.

[@VancityTrials]

I rode seymour with a few pro trials riders on some carbon xc hardtail bikes and it's so interesting to see where you guys struggled versus where we did. Of course we went at 1/8 the speed

[@therealtoasterwaffles2784]

Great start to my morning. Really got me wanting to go out and ride my local trails today.

[@pbls43]

awesome video,when i hear my friends winning about travel and head angle it´s nice to see that guy on a hardtail doing it all.

[@ertel09]

Man I love those trails ,your so lucky riding those places

[@JeffPratt4insurance]

Nice riding! That trail looks amazing. Those skinnies get slick though...

[@BMfins]

That’s a sweet bike. Sounds so quiet and quick.

[@MTBThrumyeyez]

Awesome place. Great vid man.

[@lukerutherford]

I love the weather where I live in San Diego, but do admit I’m jealous you guys get to ride trails like these all the time. Great video, like the voiceover to help explain things.

[@MillerRL96]

That tech trail is... wow

[@StraightLine_MTB]

I like that janky trail.... although I'm sure it's gnarlier that the GoPro shows. Thanks for the video

[@amgoatee3700]

Your riding so much better now on Specialized than YT

[@Gene_158]

Those trails look way too fun!

[@sachad876]

The rock armouring is quite impressive on the trail! also, that dramatic editing of the climb, the black and white filter with the music, very well done! Keep up the great videos man!

[@Strider362]

winter here (Calgary) sucks compared to this. everything is snowed in. This actually makes me want to move there!

[@mtnbkreric1]

Love those trails

[@StudBar]

Always a good idea to run extra long cables in case you need to build a bike on the trail

[@konstantinlookeen8663]

hardtail guy is so insane !

[@Chantizm]

The trails here are just fabulous you lucky son of a gun

[@pault2417]

Great Run, Hardtail domination!!!

[@ryanbuchan3158]

Yeah dude sweet video. That was such a awesome day 🤘

[@BCmtb]

The speed after 11:57 blew my mind

[@ben_pedelty]

corkscrew is a trail here in the uk aswell, forest of dean 👌

[@dominik36]

These Trails looking amazing! This week i am going to get my new bike!! Then I can start in the Season too. 😁

@@elliotburkett1683 I got my Canyon Strive CF 7.0 😜🤘

[@Mr_RichardH]

'Empress' looks bloody terrifying, even with the GoPro effect.

[@KerronBrowne]

Richard H agreed

[@radthaaad]

Empress is a fantastic trail. Taken section by section it's not too bad. Linking the sections requires some finesse in 1 or 2 corners but definitely doable. Was, and still is cleaned on hard tails regularly :)

[@Mr_RichardH]

thaaad Then you’re a much better rider than me. 👍🏻

[@radthaaad]

@@Mr_RichardH I have faith in you.

[@gregorypatzelt6964]

You are so lucky you get to ride that

[@harveycasey1900]

Here in Central Oregon the weather was very nice like three or four days ago now the snow is back & the trails are covered. I WANNA RIDE😭

[@OktaFierce]

You should have been in the top 3 youtuber spots on the whistler EWS easy.

[@paulmulryne8405]

Sweet trails 😀

[@adamgorry9601]

Good job man

[@thenorthshoremtb6951]

I just rode Severed D today! So fun!

[@timothydouglass5698]

Hey bud, if a group of us rolled into Van with a shuttle rig from Bham, would you be willing to be our tour guide for a day of shuttling on Seymour??

[@bwcvlogs3938]

9:36 INSANE

[@ΛαμπροςΤαμβακης-ψ7μ]

If you are climbing the trails fast then they are as intresting as riding them down because i visualise myself riding them and picking the same lines with you

[@gogomtb1]

beautiful!! Thx 🤙

[@riski8882]

I think you should do a video on Mt. Fromme it’s quite fun, anyways love the video!! You inspired me to ride today

[@VanCan]

I’ve got quiet a few there already :) but there’s more to come.

[@riski8882]

Ok thank you!

[@kriscalform1606]

I wonder what kind of Hardtail is he riding and hm fork travel is he using? Wish I could also ride like him. Hardtail user here. :)

[@satn3345]

Great video. Again!

[@stumpe3942]

Bikecheck on that hardtail please😁

[@BikeLifewithRob]

I can't wait until one of our adventures takes us there

[@KerronBrowne]

Great video and riding mate. Does Ryan have a channel ?

[@VanCan]

Not yet !

[@buildtestflyrepeat9428]

Not gonna lie, that climb was one of my favorite parts of the video👍😂

[@noahtiessen7968]

Sick video man.... I guess this might be a riding style thing but I am wondering why you choose to lift your front tire up on smaller drops? I often choose to get my front wheel down if I can just to have more control.

[@VanCan]

for fun

[@noahtiessen7968]

VanCan fair enough 😂😂😂

[@SlowpokeRodriguez80]

this was probably asked in another video before, but you wouldn't know which Hardtail he is riding? looks like a steel frame, but I can't recognize it

[@VanCan]

Kona honzo

[@SlowpokeRodriguez80]

@@VanCan yeah, at the end of the video I could see the arch on the seat tube... I asked prematurely... very capable bike overall, but on those trails his riding is quite impressive

[@findtherightbeat]

@@VanCan It seems that his hardtail is dialed in very well. :) What fork is he running? Does he follow the manufacturer's air pressures and does he run tokens in it? Sorry for all the questions, I'm noobie when it comes to tuning forks and would like to learn how he setup his bike.

[@adr4248]

Nice vid!!!

[@josereneducharme142]

All that snow looks like early May in the rest of Canada.

[@carboncomplex]

and the snow is only at higher elevation - seldom snow at lower elevation average might be less than one week per year at lower elevation near the coast - more inland from the coast though

[@nils5861]

Damn probably one of your best decisions moving there, enjoy it

[@VanCan]

Probably!

[@geo13]

Haha, nice cut-off from the imminent washout at 5:15

[@roberttemme6162]

Hey Eric, are you in the high or low setting on your BB? I watch a Pink bike review and all 3 of them rated the Enduro #1 but one of them said that hi switched the flip chip into the high position and the bike handles the corners noticeably better. I did the same on my Stump jumper and noticed I was climbing in 2nd gear rather than the 50T ring. I'm just not sure if I was feeling strong yesterday or if it was actually different. BobT

[@VanCan]

Wrong rider, I’m Nic :) I’m in the low setting. I haven’t tried the high yet but maybe I will soon.

[@roberttemme6162]

@@VanCan Sorry Nick. I had a senior moment. lol Thanks for your response. Let me know if you feel any difference. Bob T

Kona Honzo

[@dubbreak]

@@VanCan thanks! I thought so by looks, but by the riding I assumed chromag or similar. That's even more impressive. A honzo isn't particularly slack by modern geometry standards. Goes to show you it's all about skill. A used honzo is pretty approachable by most.
