Testing my new bike on a Whistler Double Black... cuz why not?

[@joshbarta1757]

Running that ad with the biking footage in the background did something special for my adhd 😂

[@The_Sampler]

hahaha I'm learning from the Tok/Insta

[@jeremyd826]

It's actually genius because more people will watch the ad because they have the content to still look at and don't skip it lol.

[@Cboy7677]

OMG same 😂

[@djgolf3256]

New Red/white bike for the Canada trip NOICE! 😎

[@dennisso9123]

Welcome back to our backyard. Thanks for promoting Whistler and hope more mountain bikers come and experience this bike park and all the trails around whistler and the northshore

[@jeremyd826]

Really enjoyed the b-roll footage of the beauty of your trip and getting to Whistler. I love bright colored bikes and wish more companies had unique colors. Sick build!

[@stevemendelson4711]

it is so inspiring to see how much you truly appreciate you situation. Makes your videos that much more enjoyable to watch!!

[@The_Sampler]

I think about how lucky I am all the time dude, I think it would be insane not too! Definitely the fact that I've worked a 9-5 in a cubicle helps give me lots of perspective

[@triatheletewolf7279]

Dude, we have about 6 guys that would be down for a Whistler Trip next year. Keep us posted!!!

[@The_Sampler]

Yooo if you guys are serious, shoot an email to Steve, the owner of Chasing Epic - [e-mail]

[@chasingepic]

Shoot me a message or an email, and I can send you the booking link.

[@thomaswyatt199]

Pretty impressive you guys just rolled in on the hard long rock section @ 20:47 without checking it out.

[@ingmarreindswinters7235]

with the ad next to soem riding my eyes were like:"left, right, left, right,left, right"!!

[@noahwilson2719]

I just ordered my new bike and it’s from Ari. On today’s call with them they asked how I heard about the brand and I absolutely told them I have been watching you ride their bikes for years. I determined if it can take the abuse and riding you put them through and had such a great experience with them, it was a brand I wanted to support.

[@The_Sampler]

Yo Noah, thank you my man!! That seriously helps me out so much, and I KNOW you are going to love the bike. LFRHGS my friend 🤘

[@TheLoamRanger]

Stoked you get to ride Squamish! Nothing else like it.

[@dominikschneider5136]

19:53 good old Pemberton. I hope that there is a video coming from there aswell!

[@chasingepic]

Definitely… day 3!

[@talkmauro]

Great riding with you at Chasing Epic last week! I’d be down for a private ride in June next year. I have to get my skills upgraded to keep up with you and Steve. Hope you had fun at WBP. Cheers Tom

[@waynecarty536]

I wish I had the skill set to go with yall....great looking ride...yall killed it

[@NolanChung-v8h]

haven't even seen the vid, so stoked u posted!

[@The_Sampler]

Yewwwwww 🤘

[@mtbtube1948]

If your suspension feels good and the sag is set where you want it, then its better to add some spacers so it ramps up as you get farther in to the suspension stroke as opposed to adding more air. Sweet new frame! Sexy AF!

[@chrisbailey2861]

Jeekers!!!! That first double black...I'd be walking the whole thing...all the way down. Nice!!!! Thanks for bringing us along....and nice new rig!!!!

[@freerangemtb]

Another pair of my favorite MTB KZbinrs - Syd and Macky - are now sponsored by Ari. They got some sick bikes, man!

[@AFugax]

Looks so fun…whistler double blacks are sooo amazing!! Top of the world to ride don’t slide etc is one of my favorite rides of all time!looks like snow will be too much for you to do those at this time…but just gives you a reason to go back!

[@TheGlakr]

For sure do the chasing epic at Whistler next year.

[@TooMuchBike]

Proactive congrats on 600k subs, dude. 🤟

[@joet2463]

We have the same type technical trail here in Hawaii, it’s totally my jam. Great video!

[@Schwabz33]

❤❤❤ I'VE got that MTB feeling… tonight’s going to be a good night..

[@KeithDailey-ok5dm]

I would love to do that trip next year!

[@bennaylor6613]

If you have the time try to check out Rockwork orange, korova milk bar, and wizard burial ground. Hands down my favourite whistler pedal lap.

[@The_Sampler]

I already love the names!

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

wish I had a shop close by so I could go get a feel for the good bikes, all mine has is the budget options, no Trance advanced or reign advanced just the under 1500 dollar trail bikes with low end parts.

[@davinbrowne2922]

Definitely up for a whistler trip 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@alexalatalo1892]

new bike looks insane!

[@federicodonadio5624]

Sick color set up on the bike my dude! Crazy trail

[@matthewbrocke4298]

Where do you park your van when you go away??

[@DMaxMotoPlus]

Hey man! Sick video! Also, I'm super stoked that I was able to meet you and ride mountain bikes with you in Whistler Bike Park last Sunday! P.S. I was the kid on the red Norco.

[@mattiaspaj3n478]

Love your stoke man and congrats to the "new" bike

[@josephking4461]

First time watching your videos but wow I loved this. Seem like a great man!

[@thefullsquish]

Hey it’s Bryce the full squish from whistler, it was really nice to meet you in person of all places, awesome video. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

[@cypriano8763]

we where in pemberton a few weeks back. gnarliest trails are there.

[@theendurodude]

If I’m back to 100% after my hand surgery by June, I’m in for Chasing Epic!

[@The_Sampler]

dude that would be so incredible!! Such a perfect comeback from the recovery.

[@ryanbuchan3158]

The "green monster" slab is a really fun one to jump into 🤘

[@GoodTrails]

Pumped for the rest of this series!

[@clarkmalcolm]

Dude, I would love to join you on a trip next June. Just say the date and I'll be there. I ride mostly in the lowermainland out by Maple Ridge BC, and rode whistler for the first time a couple weeks ago with my son. Epic. Can't wait to gear back from you. Cheers, I appreciate the amazing videos. Rob

[@chasingepic]

We’ll have the link to book in the next video!

[@chrismade123]

so interesting the reason you use tyre inserts i like more explanation for your hardware choice.

[@mstallmo]

So down for the Chasing Epic Whistler trip next year. Let's make it happen!

[@k9kayaks]

Looking forward to this Whistler Series 👍🚵🏻‍♀️❤️

[@MichaelAverycarhauler1969]

That new colorway on the La Sal is totally🔥! But the Double Assegai combo for park riding will be a boat anchor.

[@flyman_0]

What action camera are you shooting on these days? Footage looks great, even in the mottled light.

[@MarcRuiz_chico]

Hey Alex, big fan of your channel, thank you for sharing your awesome content that allows guys like me just getting into the sport really enjoy and crave riding. I live about 10 mins from Alafia Park - When are you coming back down to the swamps?! Would love to ride with you and pick your brain on MTB trail tech, as well as MTB components. Awesome new trail bike btw.

[@kenanjones3481]

oh my gosh doing a chasing epic trip with you would be a dream come true! I don't know if I have the skills to make it happen tho, I've heard that midwest single black is... a bit less difficult than other places lol

[@nohemoglibin8677]

I taught my son that new bike day is an official holiday.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

I celebrate it even when we rent bikes but then it's also a funeral at the end of the day 😅

[@ShadLife]

Hmmm? You got me thinking. I would love to join for a trip there next year!

[@kevinwilson1197]

Great vid as ever. You know on the plane you’re wearing your neck support pillow backwards… the gap goes at the back

[@JerryTheReporter]

I have seen so many whistler videos recently but i was hoping that finally you would go again

[@jamesdoyle1764]

I would definitely be interested in doing a private trip with you and chasing epic next year 🤘🏼! I have 2 friends that would be down too.

[@chasingepic]

Stay tuned for details in the next video... it'll be SO much fun!

[@chasingepic]

Shoot me a message or an email, and I can send you the booking link.

[@Marionetax]

This drop was a close call for your homie… the way his front wheel dives was terrifying!!! Good save indeed! Glad to watch your riding videos again, and in a bike (not e bike , you know…😜). Congrats from Spain!

[@The_Sampler]

It was indeed a very sketchy moment lol

[@chasingepic]

I admittedly suck on drops, and I definitely wasn't ready for that one! :)

[@st8ofinfinity]

That's a really sick bike!

[@aweldum]

Im in for that trip! Reply to get me in the mix! Ive been waiting to get to whistler and have wanted to meet and ride with a fellow Alex shredder! Finally bedded those brakes at minute 21😂 I am on a stoke high just listening to this! I know the feels when you finally get into an area with great tech and slab trails!

[@racing_mtb_colorado]

gotta get a settings video for the new osmo camera and how you edit the dlog footage if thats what you use!

[@josesalazar8670]

Alex thanks for sharing your videos always super awesome! Steve and you really shredded this run, and for sure I like to ride next June with y’all very interested please sign me up

[@dievhart]

Great stuff like always Alex, wish I could join you guys up there next year...come down to Santa Cruz

[@אאא13]

Simply a perfect video..thank you 🇮🇱

[@dianagale581]

Exciting ride!

[@surfjax23]

I’ll be there in the end of July. Can’t wait!

[@aj02171969]

Myself and probably 2 other buddy’s would probably be up for a Whistler trip next year.

[@The_Sampler]

Heck yea dude!! Keep an eye out for a link to register in the upcoming vids!

[@chasingepic]

Shoot me a message or an email, and I can send you the booking link.

[@ark530abe]

Sick colorway! Have fun! When are you coming back to Colorado?

[@jeffsaraiva7099]

Nice video, Alex! Put me down for a chasing epic trip to Whistler next June with you. Seriously, If it happens, I would be very interested. cheers

[@The_Sampler]

There's a link to sign up in the video from this week, check it out for more info!

[@glennpalmer5327]

I go back all the time and watch your vid with Seth about going to whistler. Would love to see you two ride park together again.

[@clnfreakone8486]

I want to ride again… bought a new hardtail and rode for 6 months and got hurt at work September 2022 had 2 ankle surgeries ahaven’t rode since … don’t think I will be able to unless I upgrade to a full suspension 😢 even that I’m not sure so it’s hard to commit to $3k for another new bike not knowing if I will be able to use it

[@TRG36]

Love this kind of riding

[@ginodalbec7080]

I'm so down to do a chasing Epic trip

[@King_Zer1]

"Cool... I LIKE!" - New catchphrase unlocked 😅😎

[@roymerrill]

Definitely interested in the "Singletrack Sampler" trip with Chasing Epic. Let me know.

[@jzy0104]

great life dude. Enjoy to the max

[@joeythenomad]

Next level testing grounds for the new bike, hitting those double blacks on the first ride!

[@brulej]

Already planning on joining chasing epic and the Sampler in BC!

[@The_Sampler]

hey nice profile pic there ;)

[@brulej]

@The_Sampler yeah, that's my excuse for skipping the bike park.

[@notice_fpv]

How QUIET is your fresh build?! So sweet!

[@BobberRider91]

Yeah next year would be a shout!

[@adam6dials]

Ild go on a trip next June.

[@NikkiB-mj6uz]

If I was a better rider I would be in. Total bucket list to ride with you one day!

[@puckcoach3]

Steve sporting some new ink 😮😎

[@The_Sampler]

danggg that's a good eye!! One of the first things I had noticed as well!

[@chasingepic]

Ha, nice catch!

[@beerenmusli8220]

I you bottom out and weigh more than 50kg, add volume tokens. You are gonna love it, seriously!!!

[@coreymtb]

Is that first trail Fever cat?

[@bluescoob07]

Really want to know who that shock hold up to whistler

[@mitchberri]

Epic! Serious tech 😮

[@The_Sampler]

Just wait until you see the next vids 😱

[@joshfoster6669]

I am down for a Whistler trip!

[@juanhidalgo7043]

I tried to like ARI, Fezzari, but the guys at Pinkbike does not have good things to say about the bike. After testing trek, Santa Cruz (Hightower, megatower), and Yeti (sb140 LT, and sb160), I went for the Yeti sb160. I can not see myself riding anything else. Well maybe a RAAW Madonna V3.

[@Nicksonabike]

I was just editing some footage from my trip to BC. Forgot what trail I was editing until I watched this. Also, I see the travel epic truck at Left Hand all the time. Next time I’ll have to stop and say hi.

[@chasingepic]

Definitely say hi... I'm over there all the time (especially in the winter and spring)!

[@Nicksonabike]

@@chasingepic we will have to get together and ride ! I’m there basically every day haha

[@davidpisoa5288]

That looks so fun !

[@brodymcwhirter3432]

Is the frame carbon or aluminum?

[@DeanScanlonMTB]

Carbon

[@vivid2288]

yessss lets do ittttttt

[@kountification]

Yo TSS !! it would be my kind of trip and my gf too(she likes slow tech) ! IDK will see i guess!!i haven't been to Whistler in 14 yrs....cheers!

[@augustmousel]

The new paint job on that bike is sick :(.. I lost my heart bc I fixed my grammar

[@bicifamily]

[@The_Sampler]

Thanks bro!! I'm so stoked for this!!

[@ianpattison5133]

what air pressure you runnin those DD's

[@growlith6969]

I struggle to understand why you avoid downhill bikes so much. I take every chance I can to throw a leg over one, I've been saved from several crashes just having the extra squish after a hit.

[@andrewbowman4012]

Game for the pvt trip

[@ESKJC]

I wanted to see someone piggy back the green monster.

[@The_Sampler]

😂😂😂

[@Topblast8s]

Let’s gooo I’m down for next year

[@mistyharpoon76]

[@jez5180]

How long you in Whis for? Would love to show you Whistler’s ultimate mega jank trail: Gargamel

[@JeffreMTB]
