Riding in Vancouver's Snow Storm Was A Dumb Idea

[@CalgaryDynastar]

As a Canadian who lives in an area where winter is a reality and not just a temporary experience, I kinda enjoy watching the lower mainland and island descend into chaos when a snowstorm rolls in 😅 I lived through one good storm on the island a decade ago and Victoria pretty well shut down for 2-3 days until melt and rain took the snow away.

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

I love comments like start like that! I lived in Calgary for 5 years and rode all winter no issues. Great city for bike travel

[@jstates5266]

Lol we don't get snow that much so what do you expect?

[@JoshAllenberg]

I like the day after it snows here. I can drive and nobody is around. I can drift through the streets/parking lots and laugh at the commuter cars who get stuck

[@JeraCravoMyself]

I rode for 5 winters since I moved to Montreal! It’s great!

[@rorybissmtb]

Somehow the music from the brakes matched perfectly with the tunes in the video. Perfect stuff.

[@nebj00la]

Use of a backing track with horns for the downhill segment was a genius editing technique. Kudos.

[@alexorcas1]

I love seeing the passion of just pure riding. Any day, any conditions, any type of bike, just enjoying riding bikes. sick content dudes. keep it up!

[@moonriseproductions]

you guys are wild. I did a thanksgiving snow ride, and I'm still healing an injury from that day lol. Thanks for all you do! P.S. I love your music selections, always bangers

[@sasha_bean]

6:59 love how you chose music that harmonizes with the brakes

[@camp132]

Would love to see a chill snowboarding and skiing vid now that it’s winter

[@daltonknapton]

The wallride corner looked terrifying! Snowy nights look so fun. Great job as always

[@liquidSpin]

Give a like just for the fact they had to stop so many times just to set up the cameras and come back for them each time in the cold! That's dedication!

[@chris4536]

Top recommendation for warmer hands; get some wrist warmers to help bridge the transition between jacket/long sleeve and gloves. Really helps to keep the blood in the small arteries warm on the way to the hands. You can buy them or easily make them out of a pair of socks. Just snip off the toe end and even create a thumb hole to keep everything in place and super layered. Mahalo my duuudes!

[@TheLionEric]

Went for a winter commute in Calgary and ate it on some black ice but I thought, heck I have worse falls MTBing! Glad it looked like you two made it out in one piece!

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

That cities great for biking in the winter.

[@NarlyRider]

Perfect Weather for the Swim Shorts.

[@stewartbibb]

It's really fun riding in the snow. At night, it's just magical! Another excellent video, as always.

[@mihaylo_kovin]

Driving at this time is unpleasant, but adding a video shoot is hardcore !! Thank you for the quality of the video in such weather conditions! Thats is a kind of the Christmas mood video!))

[@chris4536]

Skinny tyres can still be huge fun in winter! Proper studded tyres are an absolute game changer though!!

[@thomaschristian8150]

As a southerner I hate the cold but will endure it for snow. This looks like so much fun.

[@adamweb]

I love the continually evolving clip variations in the intro!

[@Symbiontey]

I love riding in the snow, it's really lovely and a whole new experience in technical terrain!

[@nicpelletier]

You should come back to Quebec city next winter. You can ride the trails you rode last summer (e47, Sdm, MSA, vbn), but with a proper fatbike. Really fun!

[@williamwallace5201]

Gotta love that beautiful Ontario weather

[@alkiou3613]

It's lovely riding on the empty streets and white mountains, while everyone is at home. In my country it doesn't snow a lot and it's a thrill when it does.

[@bradmurphy8416]

Keep the stoke going, thanks fellas. Cheers

[@marklambert8111]

Winter video suggestion: you guys should build a jump out of a pile of snow( usually from a snowplow) I’ve done this a few times this winter and it’s a lot of fun. Just make sure you pack it in extremely well, cause it doesn’t pack in or hold weight as well as dirt.

[@ivanmtb00]

Snow riding is a blast! Throw on some studded tires are your good to go! Bar mitts are also a game changer for your cold hands! Great video

[@tedecker3792]

Some of my most memorable rides were at Elizabeth Furnace in the GW national forest in conditions like that. It helps to have a few crazy friends to call at 11pm in a 25 degree sleet storm and invite you out for a ride.

[@anthonyscuderi9931]

That was sick!!! Come down to Phoenix AZ guys weather is… not quite as white..

[@squidgepus]

Seriously love the transit jokes, the buses during the last months snowpocaplypse were horrendous. Glad you two got out and made a rad video in the snow, your suffering was most enjoyed. Hope you both got something warm in you after you cut the video.

[@Dix-OnBik3s]

Thanks for another Banger Vid... Its making being downed with a busted Fib go by muchos bettah 🤙 Mahalo My Dudes

[@jevgeniardassov]

We ride all year and brake screech is normal. For once because rotors are damn cold, second if you ride streets, you get solvents all over your brakes, got to wash and sand them afterwards, each time which is a bummer…😅

[@tedecker3792]

Favorite trick: slap the branch as you go under so it dumps on your following buddy!

[@ryanbuchan3158]

This just looks like a regular weekday ride🤘

[@Jr_thesender]

That was sick!Hope you guys do another next year!!!🔥🔥

[@bigbird2451]

Dude Bro. Who's even your mechanic? Don't they know how to cold weather prep? There you go. Got that one out of the way. Well done Gentlemen!

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

Put some freshly boiled eggs in your pockets. Keeps you warm and is a tasty snack. Just ask Rob Warner about it.

[@Alan-75]

Riding In the snow is great fun, I do it whenever it snows but u gotta build a jump and tow someone in on a sledge, your never to old to behave like a child now and then.🤟

[@hackadventuring]

Well, here in Ontario, we ride all year around...in winter usually with studded tires. Some use fat bikes, but I can't be bothered. Hitting some of the snowy track on the North Shore would be a blast!

[@TheMelchoir]

Happily bowing to Canadian Winter from Vancouver to Moncton and here in Winnipeg. Well done guys, love to see Vancouver someday (maybe not in the winter though.)

[@hitchwebtube]

Good on you braving the snow and cold! Looked like a lot of fun though. Worth it!

[@JakebMiller]

So awesome to see winter life in the NW

[@KDog2264]

You guys are nuts, that was insane. I live lower Lonsdale area and I wasn't really out walking.I didn't trust the drivers to stay on the roads. Good video and Happy New Year's to all you on the channel.

[@lukelundy7358]

I live where it never snows…..I liked this content and that Trek light is sweet with the downward shine 🤙

[@sinnersavedbygrace3317]

Looks cold!

[@Tequila628]

JASON!!! MATT!!! Mahalo my dudes! 🤙🤙🤙

[@themihaherbst]

Super nice ride 🤙

[@AndrewGroat7]

You guys would have a blast riding those conditions on a fatbike.

[@theclawlives]

Went fat biking when the blizzard hit Minnesota! I live in Minneapolis so very bike-friendly, I think I was getting around easier than most cars!

[@markusilomaki8922]

Just like the Bus, you should have studded winter tyres 😀

[@isaacmciff1286]

That’s a bit crazy eh! -7, I’m from southern Utah cold desert in the winter.

[@norquay626]

Looks like you had a ball. Welcome to mountain bike life in Alberta, haha. Put on studded tires and it's becomes a really fun night on the trails

[@thenodaksmurf]

That bus though :)

[@CuriousRAGE]

I live in Sweden snow and cold is a reality and also the darkness. You should buff up with more clothes 😅 I’m out biking when it’s cold. I’m sure you should have more lumens if going out on the trails. Sorry Trek, other lights for the purpose with external battery packs.

[@TGormania]

Look a the brake noise as the horn section of the music. I would say get a fat bike for this type of riding but you are in Vancouver, you don't usually get a lot of snow...well I don't think you do. Actually get a fat bike anyways, they are a lot of fun. Cheers from New Brunswick.

[@adubmatters3584]

I’m ordering that light

[@spanzek]

Looks awesome out there boys!!

[@esa4141]

Winter is another world and dimension for MTB… Finland at least ❄️😎

[@casparwhittey]

Entertaining, nice job dudes

[@Slajjer]

The cold is truly a battery killer. Alot more charging needed in the winter+using a (i)phone for maps (komoot/strava) drains it super fast. :P

[@msvikingfan]

I like night rides. I like snow rides. I do not like the idea of night/snow rides but looked kind of fun in a masochistic way

[@bluevoodooiv7072]

Once you go StVZO lights, no coming back.

[@shiramano]

You boys work hard for the munnie

[@hardtailhenry1405]

I do the same thing and it is always worth it

[@tmodfilms254]

Looks like that "might" have been fun XD

[@jmpforyou]

Snow rides are too much fun to miss out

[@mateopeiker4149]

sick video, I hope you have a happy new year.🤙

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

Those trek lights looks decent.

[@gulfcitynd]

Brakes go reeeeee but at least you out there

[@augustoespinal57]

That was wild guys love it

[@gogovitch66]

Those shots are mint 👌🏽

[@RolandKaufmann]

I was waiting for the shammy report 🤓

[@nevermore4633]

hahaha called me out, loved your pain and suffering. a like it is good sir !

[@victorw5796]

How were you not cold? I'm freezing sitting in my living room watching this video :S

[@mahalomydude]

Who said we weren't cold?

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

It’s barely below freezing ever on the west coast. The stuffs all gone already!

[@omarcomin148]

steal a few ideas from snowboarding, put on a balaclava or an airhole, wear two layers of gloves, and clear lens goggles to stay happy in the cold

[@Textheinfidel]

Awesome stuff!!!

[@MrDrProfPatrick12]

Committed to the craft

[@nathanielpica5809]

I did jet boy ur on grouse in the snow, it’s the most sketch thing ever

[@lpt2606]

the best content

[@8664antonio]

sweet!

[@steves6557]

Dumb? Can bicycling ever be dumb? 🤔 A couple questions based on the clarity of the video: Are you using a GoPro or other brand? If GoPro, would you please share your settings? I have a GP9 and my night video is best described as "meh". Thanks and thank you for posting! 👍

[@andrewsiasparks]

I enjoyed your pain and suffering 😂

[@mahalomydude]

Good to know someone does!

[@speedoreid8956]

Ride around north van more

[@weekendwarriorsvideos]

Did you guys have spike tires?

[@lukasvonniederhausern6153]

Good shit!

[@dunneryak]

so how do you film this... do you ride and reverse or send a probe........

[@Dwab488]

Hi I’m the pickle from Eire how are you guys

[@HurzMurz]

How did you filmed this? GoPro's or did you left some "bigger" cameras standing there in the snow? :-)

[@mahalomydude]

GoPro + Insta360 + Canon 1D + Sony ZV-1

[@HurzMurz]

@@mahalomydude Thanks for your answer!! 😁👍🏼

[@drtibber]

Great ride. Wrong bike though. Way more fun on a fatty.

You need fat bikes with studded tires

[@JoshCockerham]

[@islandaerial3414]

[@GHinWI]

They keep saying “bike ride”, but they’re on mopeds.
