Riding Northern BC | Terrace

And so it begins. My long-anticipated tour of Northern British Columbia. Never heard of Terrace? Put this on your short-list of mountain biking destinations. The steelhead fishing is world-class as well. Stay tuned over the next 5 weeks as I introduce you to the lesser known gems of BC. Rad trails, warm people, indigenous culture, make for an amazing experience. What more can a man ask for? Welcome to the great white north. This is British Columbia as you have never seen it. Do enjoy. People drink whiskey in these parts. Huge thanks to Tyler and Theo for hosting me, showing me the trails they have poured their blood, sweat and tears into, and for the generous donations to the FCF van cooler of fresh, local Salmon and Bear Sausage! I am spoiled.

This is what terrace is all about enjoying outdoor activities. So awesome to randomly come across this video of my hometown.

[@natehills9388]

Love your town! Enjoyed my stay.

[@mc540flip]

Dude those trails looked so fun!! Perfect ratio of flowy dirt and rocks, ups and downs.

[@clintonhartman1928]

Sorry we missed you in Terrace Nate! My boys and I watch your videos all the time and would've loved to meet you. Having said that you probably could'nt have asked for better tour guides, those guys are rippers!!

[@jasoncapecod]

that trail has be in the top ten trails you have ridden.. BTW Terrace has some world class skiing too..Shames Mt.....Thanks for taking us a long

[@natehills9388]

Fishing as well. Multi-sport situations.

[@jackadler5941]

Just great riding fun and doesn’t need much dialogue other than “Yup, Yup, Yeaaah, Sick, UhHo, Niiice”. Don’t ever change Nate.

[@aboringguy1660]

And this is why I love terrace

[@dreww2475]

Love Terrace, beautiful town nestled in the mountains with endless water be it stream, river, lake, or ocean. You'll never find smoked salmon better than the sockeye in the north west. I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves here.

[@natehills9388]

Next-level salmon! Really enjoyed my stay.

[@robertgary9837]

“That’s actually pretty smooth”🤣 The speed you guys hit trails like that is phenomenal. These videos are really masterpieces in every sense. You’re the Stanley Kubrick of this genre sir.

[@PorterMTB]

I’ve wanted to go ride that place for a while, it’s awesomeness is confirmed!!

[@natehills9388]

Can confirm. Add it to your list amigo ✌🏻✌🏻

[@camodudemtbh7594]

The stoke is alive and well in BC, have a badd ass weekend Nate👍👊💪

[@MrTonka]

Though, i wouldn't recommend leaving that place until the snow kicks you off the mountain. Damn! That looks good!

[@Dewoy1]

That was honestly one of the best trails within a forest i have ever seen. Those white stones, and then even a natural wallride kinda rock. So cool! The dirt looked nice, and the overall lightiing was nice too.

[@natehills9388]

Hand crafted with love. The rock features are amazing.

[@Dewoy1]

@@natehills9388 You´re very lucky!

[@toms4702]

I love all your videos from Moab, Sedona and Colorado but my god this place was epic. Flow, drops, rock slabs. Sound like you were having fun out there.

[@scottnormand5858]

It appears Nate likey likey some Terrace. So stoked for you man. Gonna be living a little of your life all next week in KBek Can-Ada. So pumped😁

[@natehills9388]

Enjoy the trip.

[@mikebussart2575]

Those were some sick trails and fun to warch.

[@jorgschneider4907]

Nate, Next life, i'll be vorn in canada! Awesome landscape, tousands of old trees, i love it! Greetings from Germany! Stay true! Joerg

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

Your more stoked then usual, I can tell its good🤣🤙

[@tedclev]

Damn! Shagri-La has some bomb ass line options. That looked outrageously fun. Until my scapula heals, this is the next best thing. Thanks!

[@natehills9388]

Heal up man!!!!

[@kahimma4577]

This is where I start mountain bike 3years ago thanks Nate Hill for making this video

[@piccolo6214]

Seriously one of the coolest looking trails Ive seen you post yet. I MUST go there...

[@natehills9388]

Visually stunning for sure.

[@TimeToPolka]

Close to home, I grew up in Prince Rupert. I don't remember riding my MTB on any trails, except for a trip up the access road to Mt. Hays. The ride down was frightening on a rigid bike with questionable brakes. Thanks for sharing the awesome trails in a beautiful part of the country.

[@adamhart9555]

Wow! That's some next level trail building on some seriously sick terrain. I see a trip in my future. Great shredding as always Nate Hills. And thanks for the inspiration to shred and travel!

[@natehills9388]

Definitely worth a visit. This blew my mind.

[@grantfeddema5332]

That was a pretty perfect trail, little of everything there in Terrace! Great job!

[@SteadySpin]

good times on the bike as usual

[@danielsprock385]

UNREAL!!!

[@TheDingopaul]

Nate love your work at last i've found a decent mt biker who can ride, keep it up Australia loves ya

[@freendeed8410]

Perfection achieved....Nate man supersick trail masterpieces. Not many trails will flat out peg the Funometer like these. This has to be the perfect mtb pov. You fn nailed it Nate 👊💯👊 👌

[@natehills9388]

Works of art, these trails.

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

That "Sangria" trail (maybe I misspelled the name,,,,?!?) but for sure act like it was something what I would love to ride (not that fast!!), super/duper LOVE IT!!!

[@SHREDD-ED]

I saw your Finale videos and got lucky enough to ride with Francesco earlier this month. Thanks for putting the videos out there!

[@natehills9388]

Nice! Francesco is the man! Hope you had a good time.

[@barbbrazes869]

Awesome! Love!

[@mnbdysl]

That's a lot of, "sick" and "so good". You know this place must've been the shiznit. Wattup Nate!

[@loganovard6440]

That trail looks like so much fun... Damn I'm jealous

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

Ohhhhh NOT again PNW, that region is always making me drool like a butcher's dog, love it love it love it!!!!!!!!! Great "super fun" trails and as always TOP NOTCH riding, cheers from hot and dry Colorado, damn it, cheers V!

[@thecount1001]

i don't even think people up there consider it PNW. it's just 'The North'!

[@houstonmountainbikeassocia6888]

Terrace may just be my favourite trials in the North West

[@natehills9388]

So good!!

[@aleksahavelaar9934]

You guys aren't doing so bad yourselves! Houston riding is pretty sweet!

[@michaelhallinan532]

Three thumbs up to those trails. I wanna go! Now!

[@natehills9388]

Get here! You can thank me later.

[@TheGrovenShow]

Hit up Copper mountain in thornhill next tome, you'll love it up there, kickers and wooden features

[@natehills9388]

I've heard good things.

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Those trails look epic! Was hoping for some rear cam again!

[@Robskydaddle]

The riding looks so so good out there!.

[@nathynsutton3250]

I live in terrace so much fun to ride these trail everyday. To bad you didn’t go to copper mountain to check out the downhill trails there tho.

[@natehills9388]

Next time! Love your town ✌🏻

[@MitchellRoy24]

Shangri-la is probably my favourite trail that I’ve ridden so far👍

[@mattdeso1672]

Those rocks look like a blast!

[@MrEgshane]

Rode in Terrace when I worked for Giant Bikes. I never expected such a trail network 🤸🚴

[@natehills9388]

I was also surprised at the trail quality.

[@MrEgshane]

@@natehills9388 I think will be surprised next week at Trans BC. 🤪

[@willbros1499]

I would MUCH rather ride those trails, Shangri La in particular, than A-line or any of those jump/flow trails. About two runs down those and I'm good, but on stuff like that that keeps you on your toes, where you make your own lines and fun...sign me up! LOOKING FORWARD to the weeks to come for sure, if it's more like this. That looked like an absolute gas! Encore! Encore! Encore! What's up with your bike? It sounded like it was going to come apart on almost every jump landing or G out? Harsh.

[@parthiv8167]

That was amazing

[@dhengen]

Someone needs to put a soundboard if Nate riding and drop it into other videos. “Yup”, “Sick” and “Nice”. Sweet vids!

[@natehills9388]

Always cracks me up, the things I say on trail. Ha

[@1steelbeam]

love the rock features use and drops

[@mountaintime4276]

Like the looks of that places!

[@MTBzine]

Awesome dude, those trails look like so much fun to ride and remind me of the trails being built North of Quebec City! Great riding as always, you must have had the nipple tape on!!! LOL

[@natehills9388]

Nipple tape is faster, that is certain! ha

[@scottnormand5858]

MTBzine Heading to Quebec all next week. Can’t wait to ride Sentiers du Moulin. Place looks sick🤪

[@MTBzine]

@@scottnormand5858 Definitely very cool place, the new trail they built King Kong is sick!!! Save your energy for King Kong, Viking, LBC2, Leon and Super G

[@S.Mallard]

Got to try Wolverine, latest trail they built.

[@mtbclassic2690]

Great Video! Those trails... I'm JEALLY!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

That was sick bro! How do you always find the best trails. I could ride that all day long.

[@natehills9388]

Lucky to get the local tour!

[@8geier]

Shangri-la is SUCH a blast

[@MrTonka]

Yo, in the winter you should to come to FL for some Followcamfriday. I'll make sure you have someone worth while to follow. (not me, haha)

[@natehills9388]

Hmmm....

[@MrTonka]

The pitch to chunk ratio looks all time!

[@natehills9388]

Perfect sending scenario.

[@ronsanderson99]

Those trails are sweeeeeet! But did you find a good hangout for beers? 🍺

[@natehills9388]

Couple of cool spots around town to throw back a cold one after a ride.

[@50mtb44]

Word Of The Day: "SICK!" Those trails were sick.

[@marahoris8452]

Hi, Nate super trail 👍😎

[@dank3823]

Sweet video and trails

[@mattia.esposito3973]

Why did you have your 130 at the beginning of the video? And when do you release a POV with che sb100? Always sick!🤘

[@natehills9388]

This is filmed on my 150. 100 will be a while.

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

Great vid Nate! as always are you riding in Squamish this summer? Here's ask Nate the "Legend "" is it easy for a good bike shop to over stroke the shock to 55 to get that extra 6 mil in the back & one last thing ; I know you're a Rockshox Athlete, but as you know I'm doing a custom build from frame only & the DPX2 comes as standard is it ok to run the Lyrik with the DPX2 ? As I want to run the Lyrik 160 up front looks sick !! & Less messing around with the set up ! Than the grip 2 !! 👍👌🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲🌲🍻🥃

[@natehills9388]

Andrew, you cannot over stroke a shock. You will need a different one. It is fine to run any fork you like with any shock you like. It comes down to preference.

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

@@natehills9388 Cheers Nate ; just wanted to make sure you could mix & match ; shock & Fork !! Looking forward to follow cam Friday 👍👌🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲🌲😎🍻

[@mattbare2803]

Great video as always. I was wondering what difficulty are the trails you ride? Are they all black? Any of them blue?

[@natehills9388]

These are considered black for the most part.

[@brucedenis71]

In this video, Downtube is black but a ride-around for the one steep rock slab that Nate and Tyler ride makes it blue. Lichen Loop is blue, Shangrila is a solid black. What you don't see in this video is the climbs to get to these trails are all really steep, techy and challenging.

[@mattbare2803]

Thanks for the information. My wife and I love watching the Nate’s videos and dream of riding beautiful trails like these, but know they’re WAY above our skill set 👍🏻

[@brucedenis71]

@@mattbare2803 That's what I thought, coming from a road background. The first time I went mountain biking with friends, I walked most of the way and I thought they were crazy. A little work on skills, body position and getting the right bike really makes these trails enjoyable. Now I blast down them. Like anything, it just takes practice. One thing I like to do is session challenging sections until I am really comfortable on them.

[@raivkka4313]

Watch for Grizzlies Bro, you ARE on the dinner menu!

[@natehills9388]

Hoping to see some wildlife.

[@brouhahamtb4819]

Always hear good things about terrace! Checkout Vailmont near Jasper!

[@natehills9388]

I will be riding there on the way back. Stoked!

Nothing on the Alberta side Ranger. Someday.

hey Nate, any chance you'll be riding with follow cam LEGEND Ted Morton on this BC trip? I feel like any trip to Canada isn't complete without him!

Bet it's fun-as when the typical BC weather gets there...

Seems like the trails deal with the moisture reasonably well.

[@robhardy1332]

Dumb question possibly, but what is the gizmo with the screen on your handlebars? Not a gps, some sort of power metre?

Its both actually. Made by a company called Stages.
