[@Walid_Kharseh]

Nice camera, The Dji action 3 is also good

[@limwellsingson]

Hi Dave I admire your videos a lot. I just got the X3 because of you. Do you mind sharing the settings you used in this video? Thank you.

[@theguitargod12]

This is the first video I’ve seen where my mouth was open the entire time. You finally managed to capture the steepness and I was absolutely blown away at some of the features you attempted. Those are some scary trails.

[@tehalexy]

Fully agree. Noticed the steepness, too. Good Cam Settings

[@d4ug]

I think the steepness is because he used a chin camera pointing downward. usually when pweople use a chest cam you can't tell

[@David_A_MTB]

I really like the camera angle. Does what most other views can't do and that is show the speed and steepness of the trail. Awesome.

[@daveharris39]

The fisheye feel is a little weird, but this is probably the best video for conveying how steep those trails are.

[@donmaximus9680]

the fisheye makes it look super steep

[@cameronball3998]

i love the fisheye look honestly, i just bought the insta360 x3 yesterday so i can get the same effect 😂

[@grr1972]

cypress is super steep lol

[@VanCan]

Guy up front seems like a real cool dude

[@MTBMcPhee]

That mount is an improvement, this is the most watchable 360 cam footage I've seen to date 👍 Awesome riding by all in those conditions too!

[@nealdmiller]

Does anyone else feel a sense of relief when they reach the road? BTW, is this the new frame or old? Like the video angle!

[@holmenadventurecamp]

Got to say, kinda liking the camera angle. Much love! Holmen.

[@hardtailjefe]

Agreed I like this view

[@DaffraontheMTB]

Once again a great video showing your skills on a trail I'd probably die multiples times on. So steep and technical. Just wow!!

[@HornetProtector]

This is just so awesome! I love the scenery and the down hill and fast turns made in less then seconds is truly a thrill to watch.

[@JDH_MUSIC]

That was a pretty steep trail, impressive

[@onmissionmtb9722]

One of my fav on youtube!

[@brandonbeasley1825]

You know it's steep when Dave busts out the violin. Keep it techy!

[@2ji8888]

great command of the bike, all 3 riders are superb.

[@ericmalmstrom4840]

Dangerous Dave is a bad man.

[@sharky125]

That is a steep ass trail. Great riding. 4:50 😲You and VC are killing it

[@jeremybub]

Thought we’d see you on a Knolly

[@toprock1301]

As a rider with just over a year of experience, getting to intermediate-ish level and have a torn rotater cuff injury already...this looks terrifying. Pretty sure I won't ever be able to do black trails buuut, hats off to u guys. Very controlled and precise riding.

[@cheddis3249]

Anyone can do blacks if they train enough, it took me about a year to become double black so keep pushing!!!

[@toprock1301]

@Cheddis double black... I barely have the confidence to go full speed downhill dude lol

[@CaliforniaCalipers]

Not only the steepness but the speed around those trees is insane! Nice work!

[@charliepaul01]

this has gotta be one of the better yt vids i've watched

[@Wuhlz]

45 years ago I was riding motorbikes through stuff like this, bikes just weren't quite capable of pulling it off well yet. Mothorcycles weren't anywhere close to what they are now either, but it was fun to get out there and explore. I'm 57 now and ride easier trails with an ebike, its still fun, but looking at you younger guys and the fun you have makes me want to be 25 again.

[@kimberlyjfurey4699]

I always enjoy watching your rides .. and that little giggle is adorable!

[@iamgermane]

We do this in the Midwest. There are not enough hills so the trail builders use cement blocks. Some a-holes even throw broken glass on the trails!

[@Jessicanator]

I love that the jackets are red orange and yellow and they’re riding in order haha no idea if that was intentional but I still love it!

[@ShadowKaiserin]

So steep, but man is that forest beautiful, especially in the fog!

[@pennybridgefreeriders]

I dont know buddy.. the insta360 has me split a lil bit. When going at speed the video get to luch motion blur and just washed out in details compared to the gopro. Maybe in a few generations it might be better overall but for now, slap the gopro on the chin and keep the 360 for backwards view or something. My two cents tho! Keep the good work up🙌

[@laforgevtt9212]

incroyable et magnifique descente au coeur de cette belle forêt. Bravo, les gars, vous êtes trop fort !!!

[@allergic2cubicles]

That misty forest is GORGEOUS!

[@hardtailgang]

Insane trail, insane riding, and insane footage from the X3.

[@bjdc6577]

Great vids as ever. Going against the popular opinion re the video angle. It's just so distorted and not like real life. I like true to life stuff so I can imagine riding it. This warped view just makes it feel like a computer game. Hopefully there is some middle ground as it adds good angle to footage which standard wide angle doesn't give.

[@nicholi8933]

That is just north of where I live. Nice. So beautiful.

[@user-on5oe4te8u]

절벽같은 급경사를 내려갈 때 정말 스릴있으면서도 재밌어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@carterunger]

Would you prefer those sram brakes or your previous shimano xt brakes

[@ddangerousddave]

XT no question. The codes are just what i had around when i built the medium frame. Codes have less power, are stiffer to pull and howl when wet. They modulate well and the flip flop lever makes it easier to find a spare, but that's about it. Apparently the new sram rotors are a big improvement, but i haven't tried then yet.

[@Cali_Girl1]

Love the video! I like your voice too - and your laugh. You seem like a nice guy. 😊

[@4091740]

The break squeal would drive me NUTZ!

[@jacksondean5593]

5:54 really puts the steepness into perspective

[@PmatWolf]

Awesome, eerie and kind of mystical what an awesome trail ..... way beyond my capabilities hats off to you buddy

[@robrider838]

I can ride all blacks on the North Shore and Burke but this video reminded me why I don't ride the doubles :)

[@GANENDRAGIRI]

Wow,..Great Mate,.. nice video shot,.. stay safe, enjoy the ride

[@NorCal_Renegade]

I’m just in Aww of this. So amazing how you guys can do this. I’m over tripping out how fast you go at times. And those trees, holy shit, so damn. Lose it seems like. This should be in the olympics lol. Great content bro, stay safe

[@harryforbes2492]

Super impressive loving the video styles!

[@sruldie]

The visuals are absolutely stunning!

[@gavinheron1]

Not sure what you find funny when riding this stuff because I was terrified just watching. Amazing video and you all have tremendous skills.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Imagine if the rear brake stopped working. 😅

[@Tser]

The foggy forests of Cascadia are so gorgeous.

[@Kevin_Mallon]

Looks sick 🤙

[@goranmitreski1366]

I dont normally comment, but, that was beatiful man. Well done.

[@Lizlodude]

Yet again, what is *wrong* with that trail?! You guys are crazy (talented)

[@liamisafireplace]

gorgeous fog! i’m jealous of the weather up there

[@pedrodu3626]

That first half in the mist was something.

[@marcin19995]

I liked the mount of camera since the start, I was not wrong! The camera really makes a difference in comparison to gopros. Nice

[@mtbct]

Awesome riding Dave as usual! I kind of like the footage from the insta360 camera now!

[@ericjohn5461]

Finally. Someone else riding a commencal. I've been sending my 2011 commenal supreme dh for 6 yrs now. I tried the trail bikes but they lack the suspension travel I need. Awesome vid 👍

[@neptune7426]

This looks amazing as always. Is this considered Enduro riding or Downhill?

[@P_Riqo]

those brakes are the real mvp 😂

[@timsnewromann]

Yeah, great camera setup in my opinion, angle/perspective is peeeeefect!!

[@jondub9524]

would love to see speed overlay - some sections you're flying

[@mokujinsan9946]

Pure edge of the seat viewing there mate. Blessings from a Brit in Berlin. 💎♥️

[@judeandhelenmurdoch8149]

Absolute gnaaaarrr! Great riding and sick video.

[@entertherealmofchaos]

My Grandfather used to cycle up that hill to school everyday. Cool video dude.

[@РомаПоляк-в5ц]

Great team of the bike, all 3 riders are super

[@d4ug]

cleanest footage on youtube

[@jackkreacherr9339]

JESUS! That's intense bro.

[@villenbob]

wow! now thats some tech ! and on a downhill, fun, i was puckering watching some of that, i realize its probably alot steeper than it looks

Wow, I'm impressed with the image as well as the sound. How do you get that sound? Do you use a remote mic? Do you use a "dead cat" ? Or a foam around the X3 ? I bought a ONE RS a little while ago and I'm thinking of getting the 360 module.

[@ddangerousddave]

Built in mic with dead cats. I prefer the audio quality of the X3 over the One RS and the dead cats make a huge difference with wind noise.

@@ddangerousddave I will try this solution ! Thanks a lot ! I Hope you will come ride here in France :)

[@andreabassi9353]

Congratulazioni per il vostro bel video e per la vostra abilità! Complimenti from Italia

[@iamgermane]

If you guys get bored of the worldclass mountain biking in the Pacific Northwest come to Eagan, MN and experience Lebanon Hills Mountain Bike course. Not as advanced but guys have been known to break their ankles on it!

[@1870movie]

Nice video. Are you able to reduce the fisheye? I think this camera would be excellent if the fisheye could be reduced a bit.

[@druchii89]

How on earth is that ridable? So steep! Great vid, but scary as hell!

[@Yinlock470]

the silent hill trail lookin good this year

[@Ty-vk8pb]

The foggy trees look so eerie and cool

[@genec9560]

To me the 360 excels in showing the steepness straight ahead, which is great, but I agree with other comments about the warping on the sides. Would be nice if the camera could be configured to do it's 360 thing in the just the direction of view where it helps, and do a more standard camera look for the other directions.

[@rjtumble]

It's funny, your brakes were kind of reminding me of the vuvuzela days

[@Romthalas]

You're really crazy, but the descent is steep👍

[@GideonRE3]

God, that Forest is BEUTIFUL

[@gamingebbrell9424]

The fog is coming for Dave

[@mtbmadman187]

Forgot it was Sunday for a sec thanks Dave!

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Dave. is this reframed 360 footage or do you have the camera in the 1 lens action mode. looks great

[@brianwilson1145]

I'd like to know as well

[@ddangerousddave]

Reframed 360. I haven’t played around with the other settings yet because reframing 360 has worked out so well 👍

[@JackBKillinit]

Reminds me of some of the RIDE FARM jungle trails. Gnar

[@philipB31]

Fine piece of riding…again. Respect!

[@99MrJ99]

At first I was confused at the beginning of 5th horseman. I have no recollection of it being that steep lol. Then I realized the fisheye is making the sides look like a steep cliff, unless it is that steep? Then again were used to seeing everything look flat with gopros... dah I'll have to ride it again soon lol

[@davebarnett4262]

Amazing riding and video quality but looks like a proper kooky way of mounting it Vs a GoPro etc.

[@Justin_Bikes]

can't imagine how fast and how steep that really was in person

[@d4ug]

your breaks speak a thousand words

[@rabbit0877]

Dumb question but where do you guys park your car? I’m just saying that’s a looooong ride back up the mountain, lol.

[@thelundproject]

I can’t ever get my X3 to look like this. Wow.

[@aff77141]

These bikes go down cliffs more smoothly than my feet would

[@florianradu4010]

Hi Dave, I really enjoy your qualitive clips! Would you be kind enough to tell me your height and your bike size ? (It will be interesting to corelate the reach of the bike with your height), thank you in advance.

[@hlf_coder6272]

Looks fun as hell. I definitely would have died numerous times if I tried this though, or broken my back or ribs or something.

[@122later122]

Riding like a Mountaingoat on a Bike, Excellent 😉👍🏻

[@ad8a432]

Hey Dave, don't you sometimes get your audio randomly silenced? as if the mic gets saturated or something, and the volume gets extremely low for some seconds. I get that quite often even though i have the wind reduction deactivated. (OneX2)

[@canadianoversee-r5937]

Was this filmed this weekend? I thought there would be snow?

[@Joel-np9vl]

This one looks so fun 🤠

[@BreannaKeiver]

Jesus what level biker do you need to be for these trails? They look amazing and fun

[@MrGreenhutt]

Amazing skills guys.

[@freequest]

At least with the insta 360, steep stuff looks steep.

[@AirNorthOne]

you can use adobe premier noise frequency filter to remove the noise from the brakes

[@jackagnell4781]

why would he do that

[@aleksandrfedenko6453]

awsome riding mate

[@xpeoplemakerx5598]

I'm always curious about your heart rate when riding these trails, especially on the technical jumps.

[@jefm32]

I wish i had a single friend who liked to hit some trails.
