Less tips and more riding here!

[@BasicBodThor]

Staying tall as well helps me a lot so that I can be relaxed and save energy where I can, and also so that I can see what's coming (is it a roll, is it a drop, etc.)

[@paulwintermute1495]

Looking where you want to go and keeping your eyes on the terrain ahead instead of the obstacle you are currently riding is so key. Also the word you want is "ton" as in 2000lbs. Tone is a sound. 😁

[@MrBenandbriar]

Modulate the brake - not too much

[@dirkP38448]

After watching your Video with your neighbor I practice a lot of brake control and that gave me so much confidence. Thanks for that and the tips in this Video. Great!

[@ColourtheTrails]

An incredible day of learning and progression on a beautiful trail! Thank you for all the support, Remy and community!

[@remymetailler]

Thanks to you for what you do!

[@jordanohealy1507]

This made me smile so much! @Colour the Trails, you have earned my subscription! Remy, you are amazing as always!!

[@PawelKOtrebski]

I feel like the MTB community in Canada is so accepting of new riders, I wish it was the same here in Poland (where I feel like a twit most of the time for asking the simple questions). Super content Remy, you are very eloquent which in itself is 150% confidence boosting!

[@ianfleischhacker6154]

Generally speaking, it's very hard to ride in Poland without discovering that another person has decided you are their competition. :D

[@grzegorzporowinski]

Zmień towarzystwo stary, nie trać na nich czasu :) Rower powinien być dla Ciebie przyjemnością, jeśli ktoś obok Ciebie patrzy na Ciebie krzywo albo głupkowato komentuje to jak jeździsz, zamiast posłużyć Ci radą albo wręcz pomóc, to znaczy, że ma poważny problem ze swoim ego i lepiej trzymać się od takich toksycznych osób z daleka :)

[@grzegorzporowinski]

A jak jesteś poczatkujący i potrzebujesz wsparcia to pisz, może będę mógł Ci jakoś pomóc :)

[@patrickbarrett6531]

THIS! Illustrating how inclusive the MTB community is here in Canada. Everyone I have met on the trails is always super nice and helpful. Great job, Remy, in doing your part to help grow the sport! These women are great riders, and with such a short time riding, they show great confidence and skill! KUDOS, Ladies!

[@SsmAnyfeSt]

Yeah I was really surprised to hear that one of them was only mtn biking for about a year and the other one... 3 months!!! Wow, good skills and confidence like you said! :O

[@robsridesmtb2176]

These are my favourite kinds of videos! I hear your voice inside my head when I approach features and always find your teachings easy to understand! Thank you 🙏

[@remymetaillerraw]

That's awesome! Thank you!

[@remymetailler]

Glad you like them!

[@kbazra]

Thanks so much, Remy for the ride in Squamish. First time biking there and so amazing to be able to do those rock slabs with your help around which lines to take and how to approach them. It'll be great to take those tips and apply them to other trails and features too!

[@remymetailler]

Thanks again for coming! Glad it help!

[@cwwmbm]

You guys did awesome! Took me two years to tackle that last steep rock face in the video. Next time you're in the area - definitely check out Leave Of Absence trail, it's right next to Rupert, a little bit easier, but a ton of fun. It feels like a smaller brother of Rupert.

[@judithkasiama5220]

Thank you so much Remy for the tips and taking the time to teach our crew! I am so excited to take these tips can continue to progress!

[@remymetailler]

You are so welcome!

[@martinrupp3919]

You riding with beginners or '"normal" riders really makes me relate more to the steepness of the terrain you are riding. Line choice and practice are key! More of those kind of videos please.

[@remymetailler]

Some of the stuff we ride will never make justice unless you go go there to check it out in person.

[@patrickmchatton7958]

Remy I love you in the teacher mode. You clearly gave those girls the confidence to work through their fears and complete the sections. Awesome

[@SoGoMTB]

I remembered ride towards Rupert trail head and it like taking forever. I love it so much that we are going there again.

[@grevs300]

Great work by everyone! There’s no better feeling than helping someone progress and ride new trails and features.

[@stephenbutkovich1014]

Of all of your video's of insane, death-defying, super-human, high-flying trails, this was one of your best. To see these ladies progress down this difficult trail was inspiring. You are a fantastic coach - and great job ladies!

[@coastzapper9297]

Really good stuff Remy, I immediately forwarded this to a male friend who is new to the sport and fearing everything. Hopefully seeing these women new to the sport will give him some motivation.

[@MrPacobolo]

Great job too all the ladies. Incredible confidence and progression for some people so new to the sport.

[@ColourtheTrails]

Thank you for the words of support!

[@casestudymtb]

I had a chance to ride Rupert for the first time this season. I think it's the best introduction to black squamish trails. The features are all pretty manageable, especially when riding with a local who can demonstrate the lines, and it really helped me build the confidence for more slab riding. Awesome to get to relive my experience through these women's eyes, they're absolutely crushing it!

[@JasonFoxLCB]

You're such a great teacher, Remy. The way break things down into just a few, simple steps that actually work is fantastic.

[@remymetailler]

Thank you

[@raquelbarrera2550]

This is amazing! Respect and much love to all the skilled riders that give regular riders the time of day! I'm impressed with these women and their progression. I am at that level and seeing them face their fears and do these awesome features is motivating!

[@RenateRennkuh]

I love your content, and this video is in so many ways inspirational! Well done!

[@NeufsVideos]

The videos you make of the crazy difficult stuff are really awe inspiring but I really appreciate these too. Not only is there a lot for people like me to learn from in them, but I also really like your willingness to teach folks with less experience and the way you do so. Nice work!

[@remymetailler]

I appreciate that!

[@CounterfietAthlete]

Remy, this is some of the best content yet!!! As an experienced person of color rider I’m constantly thinking about what it means to be inclusive and I stress so much about how to share my knowledge with friends old and new so we can have a much more diverse community that embraces and welcome everyone in the lands that we have all been having the privilege to ride in. Bravo, Remy👏🏽 and amazing job to everyone with Colour the Trails, I love your mission! Wish we had something like that in the Bay Area, CA!!!!!

[@remymetailler]

Hey Alan, you should connect with Judy, perhaps she can help you to do something down there? They have been to Sedona Bike Festival this fall too!

[@CounterfietAthlete]

@@remymetailler that’s a great idea!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

[@ColourtheTrails]

@@CounterfietAthlete Glad to see other bikers of colour!!!

[@choanlpoto]

I don’t understand. Without this « inclusive » association, a black person cant do mtb in the forest ?

[@vomErsten]

@@choanlpoto Some people are intimidated to participate in an activity when they don't see anybody like them also doing it. Not everybody is like this, but some are. It's not a complicated concept.

[@dimimtb]

Awesome dude, finally got the chance to watch the video and it's amazing helping out new riders. Well done Remy.

[@justsayin3600]

Awesome Video! You just advanced their riding skills so much! Awesome to see new riders together, having a great time! Not to mention helping Color The Trails with their organization's mission, and helping them build confidence, a skill all young people need!

[@dorkis44]

Do more videos like this please! Love seeing the lady shredders out there and interest in the sport growing!

[@curtissocks]

Respect to all the riders for pushing their limits even after a few close calls. Great content

[@mortonfrankfire5400]

Fully enjoyed this one. Trail looks like a bag of fun too.

[@Db3330]

That was an awesome video. Amazing seeing the progression that can be made in a day with some quality coaching. Top work Remy and top work ladies 👌👌

[@ammof6440]

Omg love this! So much fun to see newer riders tackle harder features.

[@PL-fh8cz]

@Remy Metailler Awesome content -- You're a natural teacher. I used to tell my kids when we went skiing or mountain biking, if everyone makes it home with smiles, then it was a great day and from the reaction, they all had a great day..

[@remymetailler]

Thank you!

[@thecakeisalie7070]

Absolutely fabulous coaching Remy! Taking into account the runout after the feature is my favourite tip. Features are part of a bigger flow and learning to ride a feature as part of its bigger flow helps me with confidence.

[@remymetailler]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gregoryf9299]

12:52 great example of ratcheting - keeping the pedals pretty much level and small boosts to momentum. Awesome stuff!

[@alex.trading.reviews]

Yess Rémy!! I love this content!! Helping average riders like me to ride more like you!

[@barnabyjonesdangerdog758]

They did great!. Hopefully you do more videos with them. I wish them much success with their organization-we need more diversity in outdoor sports!

[@glasgowsports]

Great video with an awesome group of enthusiastic riders, love it

[@hardtailparty]

I could watch this all day long. Fantastic video.

[@remymetailler]

Wow, thanks!

[@jodeskid]

Another inspirational video Remy! Loved the coaching and encouragement that resulted in the progression and confidence of the riders. And the way this is promoting inclusivity to the sport. Amazing that some of the riders had only being riding for such short lengths of time and had the confidence to ride some of the features. They all looked super stoked! Nice one chief!

[@remymetailler]

Appreciate it!

[@tomnutting3836]

Unreal teaching, great skills from the ladies and seriously good how much they analyse and discuss the features ✌️

[@kainpwnsu]

Wow, you're such a great teacher! You are able to explain the mechanics very well. Next time you roll through Utah, I'd love to get some tips to get myself back into enduro races.

[@yumcaxion9993]

As a beginner rider, this video was great. Not only was it amazing to see these riders go for it on these features and make huge progress, but watching you ride the same features really illustrates the large and small differences between novice and expert. The video with your neighbor was helpful in a similar way even though he is more advanced. Mountain bike KZbin instructional content is all over the map with how it treats technique, and your focus on very specific habits like standing tall, reading terrain, anticipating compressions and opening lines/corners has been immediately useful to me on the trails even though I make tons of mistakes.

[@remymetailler]

Thank you! More to come.

[@snbsmtb]

Great video Dude!! It's great seeing you help other people!! Just love this!!

[@francoisjoly7696]

Thanks so much Rémy for that lovely video. You make a great job and it's very enjoyable. Respect and thanks again. Take care.

Some of the most consistently high quality content I've seen, really fun to watch!

[@remymetailler]

Thank you

[@OttawaMona]

Amazing video. Loved seeing how everyone took the tips and progressed using them - all the ladies absolutely crushed it! Definitely going to be rewatching this before I head out next time. My favourite tip was the fact that we should practice/session features many times in order to progress in the best way.

[@duroxkilo]

truly impressive, that much control and confidence in such a short riding time.. be safe have fun everyone

[@2310Ole]

Colour the Trails sounds like such a cool organisation! We need more like them, because the barrier to get into MTB can be quite big

[@ColourtheTrails]

Thank you for the words of support!

[@Biggirlsneedlovingtoo]

What barrier?

[@2310Ole]

@@Biggirlsneedlovingtoo mainly the price barrier on getting a bike, but also many people don't live near trails, so they need to get there by car or train first

[@gustavofrings8345]

Just awesome Remy! So cool to see how a gnarly dude like u 😁 teaches that good! Relaxed, polite👌 To me the best tip is "look ahead" look where u r going and in case your backwheel starts to slide, just release the break! Gamechanger 4 me! Great video dude!👏

[@remymetailler]

Thanks! 😃

[@andrec.136]

Excellent! I absolutely loved this.

[@BasicBodThor]

Progression, no matter how big or small, is the best part of mountain biking :)

[@hobmarg]

Cool to see their confidence grow through the video while they ride things beyond their comfort level... the one lady with only 3 months riding already on Rupert, good progression!

[@remymetailler]

Thanks so much!

[@kevincartwright1267]

@Remy a massive thank you for this and the previous video (actually all your videos) because I rode trails on Seymour in north Vancouver with more confidence, faster and safer by your advice of standing up and also putting my bike down to walk and evaluate the features that scared me. I broke my wrist badly two years ago and forced and struggled to get back on the bike. You have given this 40-something year old confidence and enjoyment again with your very consumable videos. I now trust these amazing bikes to bring us to the bottom of the hills safely.

[@guillaume_tca]

Nice! Really interesting video Remy. Not only for learning skills but community as well.

Great video, fun watching you teach and how well these women progressed. Thank you.

[@remymetailler]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SecretSpots]

This literally gave me the warm fuzzies! I LOVED this Remy! Their progress was mind-blowing, and it shows how great of a coach you are! 👏 One tip I think that was missed, especially in regards to the movement of leaning back and pushing forward going down steep features: I've noticed with a lot of women they don't seem to take advantage of the dropper post enough and have their seats too high while trying to maneuver steep descents. The one girl that was having trouble with that before she went down that second off-camber rock slab - I feel if she just lowered her seat all the way first she would have been able to get that extra mobility.

[@remymetailler]

Lots of women have shorter legs and their seat post don't offer enough adjustment especially on entree level enduro bike. On the other hand the One Up Components for example comes in all sizes and has super tiny design which is especially great for shorter riders. That's what I use.

[@SecretSpots]

@@remymetailler Great point! Glad I mentioned it. I learned something. 😃

[@toddpowell2803]

This is absolutely brilliant. Nuff said.

[@EmzNZ]

Awesome content, that was so helpful to watch! I'm wanting to progress to riding more Black trails this summer and trying features like these for the first time, so will definitely be keeping these tips in my mind as I do. I'm super jealous of how friendly Squamish rock faces are though. The ones here to learn on are so rugged and often with more rocks sticking out at the bottom, I have massive OTB fears getting caught up on them. Those women and that organisation are awesome too, love what they do. Thanks for getting involved with and sharing the different communities you have there.

[@ColourtheTrails]

Thank you for the words of support!

[@JamesBond-sq3dn]

Great video I love the process of breaking up a trail into its features and getting each part dialed its a great way to learn and also can make the trail more interesting as it gives you a chance to try other lines. Would love to see a follow up video with this great group of ladies in a few months to see how they are improving. Great positive vibes 👍.

[@ColourtheTrails]

[@loodinek]

Love this thank you Rémy. I took a few friends down Rupert a couple of weeks ago and was going through a lot of these steps with them. Feels good to be kind of validated in the feedback and knowledge I passed on to them in hearing you saying the same to these ladies. Also I rode past you guys on the last feature you filmed this day, but I didn't make the final cut apparently. ;D

[@remymetailler]

Happy to help!
