Riding some classic Squamish Slab Trails | Entrails, Boney Elbows, Hueso

I rode the classic slabs of Squamish .When you make a purchase on this link: bit.ly/39xojyn You support my channel and help me to put out more, and better videos!
This video was filmed during Covid 19, which is why I rode alone and slower. Remember that risk 0 does not exist and that risk is relative, and right now more than ever if you live in a country where you can ride, you need to take it easy.
If you are not from Squamish, enjoy this video and you will be welcome there again soon.
These trails are amazing and I'm very fortunate to be able to ride them. A special thanks to the builders and SORCA, the Squamish MTB association. To get your membership: sorca.ca/
You can find the trails I rode here on Trailforks:

New favourite quote: "I don't really like uphills. I don't know who invented uphills but I think they suck."

[@remymetailler]

Just like left corners. Who ever invented them should have stick do just downhill and right end corners.

[@yetidasurmok]

@@remymetailler I like left corners more :)

[@remymetailler]

Should I make more Trail Previews alone during this time? Comment below what Squamish trail I should ride next.

[@hugorainho944]

Rémy Métailler Oui tu peux carrément ! J’adore ces vidéos, merci 😄

[@justsayin3600]

Remy man, yeah keep the safe rides coming. I enjoy the play by play commentary as you ride. Helps to visualize the ride and what your doing.

[@nanaimosquash8055]

Yes, please do. Any trail is fine. Never ridden Squamish but super impressed!

[@schalli09]

Maybe your favorite trail(s) in the Diamond Head area? :) Like your favorite way from top to bottom?

[@roik.6694]

Of course you should

[@danielgrafik]

For someone who doesn't like skinnies or uphills, you sure do ride them well! 😆👍

[@DownhillDr]

Rémy, thanks for continuing to post these. I'm impressed how professional you kept your intro and justifications (which are bang on!) Please keep 'em coming. We're still shredding snow out here in the Rockies, your dirt n slabs keep us salivating and hopeful.

[@remymetailler]

Thank you! A few people have a different point of view but it's important to also care about out little industry. Many of our favourite brands and local businesses won't make it, and I want to do what I can to help. The situation here is also not bad (from what a few doctors and nurses told me). If things were different I would not be riding.

[@onecutmedia]

FYI, Remy has mad skills and that was pretty chill for him! I ride these trails all the time and I only wish I could ride at his chill pace ;)

[@justsayin3600]

Watching the video reminds me how hard technical riding can be when your fatigued, then mistakes can happen. I appreciate you mentioning riding trails that are in the safe zone. It would suck getting hurt and having to use medical resources during this time. Not to mention having to take a ride to hospital and then end up getting sick too.

[@lukasla1786]

Those trails are everybodys dream man

[@dylanharper9476]

lukas la - take out the rocks and roots , and it’s perfect 😂

[@chriswood9223]

I am enjoying these videos of you going easy(don't get me wrong your regular videos are great too) because it gives insight to your trail scanning and thought process when riding. "Your rear brake slows you down, but your front break stops you" made me think your PMBIA is showing. Really cool.

[@remymetailler]

Awesome thanks!

[@TitosTheSalty]

"Oh, little skinny. I don't like those." Rémy is into thicc lasses only.

[@remymetailler]

Ahaha

[@magodize]

I love how your chill pace down the sketchy bony elbow A line slab is the equivalent to my send it pace where I would have definitely giggled like a schoolgirl for not having died crashing in the tree at the end. I can't believe how smooth you make everything seems. Great video!

[@alisdairfyfe7175]

this is the first of Remy's videos I have watched but the second he said "i don't know who invented uphills, but they suck" I instantly subscribed

[@rickcorlett]

Yes! Love your channel and thank you for still posting content that allows us to stay connected to our sport, especially for people that are currently unable to get out or have very limited areas to ride. You are being a true ambassador to the sport by being sure to point out conscious decisions in real time where you point at an alternate line you would normally take and are choosing not to and that you talk about how you are riding slower and being more precise.

[@JonasFindeis]

Maaan, I love to watch you riding your bike! These trails combined with your skills are just amazing to watch :) And, to say it once again - your personality and the message you're spreading through your videos make you such a great mountainbiker to follow! Also thanks for these first sentences - most of us know your incredible riding skills - but also most of us wouldn't be able to ride these trails (that good) even out of our comfort zone :D Enjoy the time in the woods Rémy, make the best out of this time and stay healthy! :)

[@remymetailler]

Thank you! Really appreciate that!

[@bradmurphy8416]

Love the slower version, I’ve been to Squamton only a few times... but I’ve struggled to find good lines down many of the slab features. Excellent work, great talk through... and of course, cheers Remy.

[@kashkoi2]

Thanks so much Remy. Please keep them coming. Adding the tips in and explaining what you are doing while you are riding is super helpful. Would be great if you could do In and Out Burger with an explanation of how to stay in control on the long slab that goes over the small drop at the bottom and into the right handed corner. Cheers!!

[@cammyshaw4841]

So good , love the trail previews, keep up the amazing work

[@J-bt5jw]

It's crazy how smooth you are on these trails. Make it look so easy. I watch your videos to get psyched Then go ride these trails and I'm so much slower. Everything is scarier and im way less smooth. But I guess I do t get paid to do it. I'm so impressed bro beans Xx

[@zimmermandk]

Awesome skills! Thanks for the videos

[@bongers94]

[@thenorthshoremtb6951]

That was sooooo chill! Keep up the good work!

[@Sebio564]

man i really enjoy watching ur videos but it also makes me a bit sentimentally. Had been in squamish last summer and we had such a good time. i guess i have to go there again, this place can push ur limits and ur skills so much further!

[@kabagaijin]

So good man. keep the videos coming.

[@waaku69]

Love ur trail previews remy👌🏻 much love from gernany, stay healthy😊

[@CalgaryChris]

Thats a sick ride! I hope I can get out to whistler this summer!

[@scottnormand5858]

Great video as always Remy🙏The trail building there looks very much like the work at Sentier du Moulin. Absolutely incredible😁

[@remymetailler]

Nice can't wait to check this spot!

[@TrailPOV]

Nicely done! You made the chute line choice on Entrails look waaaay too easy.

[@remymetailler]

Thank you!

[@pabloriverasalgado3351]

wow very good run and awesome trail 🔥

[@massimilianomartini768]

Amazing! it would be very nice if you can show us some others tracks like this one, it's interesting listen to you talking about the line! Local trail builders are really great, their trails are magic!

[@carleichler6070]

Great Video.. I like to pretend that it's me behind the lens your GoPro...although only in my wildest dreams LOL Seems very dry up in the Squamish area for this time of year...Incredible scenery

[@AlecJones_]

If someone did a comparison between you and Romain Grojean speaking, I would literally not tell the difference 😂 Super video bro, il faut plus de videos pour que je m'ennuie pas dans le confinement! 🔥🔥

[@remymetailler]

Romain Grosjean is nit a bad person to be compared to!

[@lamefart]

Low-risk ride and slow for you, Remy, is insane level for me... Hahaha!

[@Gamingoodz]

Just even getting to ride here Once would be a bucket list item for me. We have nothing like this in Pittsburgh and I've never got to travel anywhere out of state except to ohio like twice but no MTB related. I really want to try and get out to some different riding locations this year, this stuff looks amazing. Shame it would be so hard for me to get there with the costs involved but hopefully I can make it happen within the next few years. I'm 34 and want to visit some places soon. You make this stuff look easy man lol, the gopro effect combined with your talent really makes it look much easier than it is. I bet that stuff is super super steep and gnarly in person. Awesome videos, I have really been enjoying these man keep it up.

[@remymetailler]

If you really want it you will make a trip happen!

[@JB-qz2zy]

A low risk for you is broken bones for many if not most of us haha!

[@hobmarg]

I think it’s fine to keep posting your videos. Anyone that follows you knows you are riding this stuff at like 70%? Maybe less? Of your ability and you live in Squamish.

[@remymetailler]

A bit less I would say. The whale back, and all the rock faces I would ride them faster normally.

[@user-vs5rj7gy8t]

Great!

[@LongLiveEnduro]

[@jpurden327]

Thanks Remy, that was fun to watch. Those slabs are so fun. I had to learn the hard way about speed control on one of the bigger rock slabs years ago on Boney Elbows lol. Entrails, Boney, Hueso;);) one of my favorite Squamish laps to add to a ride. Next time I'm able to travel there from Vancouver island we'll check out lower Gouranga as well. As far as trails that would be cool to see from your perspective I'd suggest Cream Puff or Tower of power or maybe Shasta? Anyways thanks again for the video! So happy we can still go out and ride. Safe-ishly and at an appropriate distance from others of course;)

[@remymetailler]

Nice! i will do theses trails once we have the green light to leave our community.

[@jpurden327]

@@remymetailler Sweet, and ya I gapped about the fact that those trails are in Pemby.

[@remymetailler]

@@jpurden327 For slabs, it is mostly about making yourself heavy and stopping you by using the front brake.

[@jpurden327]

@@remymetailler Definitely, you're very right. My first time on Boney a number of years ago, I met up with one of the sorca guys and we rode Boney and Hueso together. First thing he told me was to really control my speed on the large slabs(and ya, heavy front braking). I didn't listen at first lol. I feathered my front brake half way down the first big slab ( you rode it in this video, one of the first bigger slabs on Boney where the trail forks right) I gained speed so fast I couldn't control the bike. I then hit a tree at the bottom lol. My bar took all the impact and I was fine. But either way, it was a learning experience. Lol. I listened after that!

Salut remi, super vidéo comme d'hab !! Je voulais savoir tu as 2 paires de lunettes, une avec des verres clairs et foncés, ou tu change de verres sur la même lunette ?

[@remymetailler]

Oui c est la Julbo Fury. Pour l instant les verres claires ne sont pas dispo a la vente. Les verres de couleur font un super boulot par contre.

[@WINNERBIKE]

@@remymetailler Merci beaucoup ! Je dois utiliser ces lunettes pour le VTT et le vélo de route aussi, c'est pour ça que je t'ai demandé. Je pense que je vais me la commander du coup ;)

Genial

[@HHH0178]

Very nice video What camera do you use?

[@66KTMracing]

Hey Remy, first of all, great riding, I'm allways enjoing your videos. It looks like you are wearing a Camelbak Vest. Is this the one with or without protector? And what are you tanking with you on your daily ride? Right now I'm thinking about getting a backpack with protector or a hip bag. What isyour recommendation? Cheers, Mario

[@remymetailler]

Hey it the Chase Vest. No back protection. I use it for every ride.

[@remymetailler]

Hip bags are good but I find the vest being the best solution for rides under 3 hours. More support for riding hard, does not feel it, and can storage enough things.

[@66KTMracing]

@@remymetailler Ok perfect, thank you for your feedback on that.

Hello Rémy how much psi are you running in the front and rear?

[@Lesdig891]

Hey Rémy, do you always make sure that your trail previews are public trails that are all ready well known? Or are some of these previews more secret spots that aren’t previously well known?

[@remymetailler]

Good question. I normally always film on public and legal trail. Sometimes as per request of the builder I would film "a secret trail" but won't show where it starts, finishes. Why that?

[@Lesdig891]

@@remymetailler I was just wondering because you seem to have everything very well thought out and youre a down to Earth guy, and I've seen the Instagram accounts like Loam Shame who seem to go to war on some people's KZbin pov channels and stuff so I was curious how you decide these things or if you did atall. Thanks for replying you're a rad guy Remy!!!

It is a tough one. I would stay home if the situation was worse but BC is doing pretty good so far. A lot of businesses want and need exposure during these tough time so people don't forget about them. The financial impact is real. I promote safe riding, but for now will keep on riding. If the hospitals were getting busy I would stop immediately.
