Thank you so much for this excellent video series. It is well edited and combines visuals with excellent explanations.

[@BasicBodThor]

Unintentionally watched this video right before riding this trail for the first time. Did exactly what you said and worked like a charm :)

[@RideHubSquamish]

That's awesome! Glad it served you well!

[@cjohnson989]

Thanks Matt, I've stumbled through this turn several times, watched this vid again last night and cleaned it today no problem! Great tips!

[@RideHubSquamish]

Thanks Craig! It's always great to hear that our tips worked well for you.

I swear you are a psychic! Still too scared to try this line. Maybe with a pile of crash pads in the middle and a net on the outside. Too bad you don’t climb....awesome video, rich, clear vocabulary, good info.

[@RideHubSquamish]

This is one of the few features that you could actually put pads down to help with a crash!

LOVING this channel!!

Another awesome set of tips. Took me ages to master this one, it was the run in line tip that first made it happen for me, but I will use a few of these tips from the video to truly nail it every time in all seasons in future.

[@RideHubSquamish]

So many people forget about how important the run in is to the move. It just makes it easier to hit the first rock straight on. Thanks for the feedback!

[@cmccoy540]

Great video... I love the pop-ins and explanation points. Makes it look professional and provides great tips for people that are learning! I've never ridden Squamish, and I'm seeing what I'm missing!

[@RideHubSquamish]

Thanks for the feedback! We think it's important that videos outlining "tips" should have enough background so that they make sense. There are many videos online that only tell half the story or miss really important information so we are hoping to buck that trend and keep the videos informative, but succinct.

[@carolynklassen8189]

Going to go session this!

[@derekjarman1638]

Great video series! Looking forward to more videos.

[@RideHubSquamish]

There is more coming!

[@mmccarney6674]

Great explanation! And love the Gary cameo!

[@RideHubSquamish]

Gary loved it too!

[@litespeed74]

Heh..I remember this turn on Rupert. I made it, it wasn't pretty. I think I nearly stalled I was going so slow...I'd love to hit that again after watching this. The entrance into it looks a little more gnarly than when I hit it about 3 years ago.

[@RideHubSquamish]

It's pretty easy to stall on this one if your line is off or you hesitate on the entrance. The entrance might look a little gnarly but even the rocky line isn't that bad with the caveat about the entrance line to the rock.

[@liam-zw4fw]

Fell twice and then got it today

[@RideHubSquamish]

It's definitely a challenging move - great work being persistent!

[@BermUnit]

Rode this only twice, no issues. But only on the second time was i aware of that drop to the right before the feature, because you pointed it out, lol.

[@RideHubSquamish]

Yeah, sometimes it's easier on the brain when you don't know the risks! However, we would always err on the side of knowing what might happen so you can manage it. There is a cheater line down that drop now... :-)

[@BermUnit]

@@RideHubSquamish Your "How to" vids inspired my "How NOT To Ride:" series, where we are mostly falter down trails we're scared of just to push our boundaries, lol.

[@chopchopbc]

Superb instructional
