[@brandonreimer184]

This is why I over bike because sometimes I make mistakes and that extra 20mm let's me go to work the next day.

[@MTBZenMaster]

And if it looks steep on camera...can't even imagine 😮 Great riding Nic.

[@red00tl]

Watching this POV in 4K is the closest thing to riding those trails myself, which will never happen. Thank you for the ride! 😄

[@Speedy0903]

how come?

[@red00tl]

@@Speedy0903 I'm getting too old to break another bone in my body.

[@mustclime5311]

Video idea.....I see you have been on a lot of the enduro forks out there, maybe try a manitou Mezzer and compare it to all the other big enduro forks you have ridden. They can be found dirt cheap and they have a lot of interesting feathers....... Great video btw

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

It would be interesting to see it compared directly with big names but also with weird stuff like a RST rebel or something funky. Since the Manitou is already "funky" 😂

[@piciu256]

​@@LaurentiusTriariusManitou only had the reverse arch, otherwise it's just like any other fork, just had more features than most ;)

[@silaag1777]

The main problem I’ve found with the mezzer 180 is lack of stiffness compared to other options on the market, as a 160mm fork it’s amazing

[@the510wagon]

I bought a Mezzer at a smoking' price and whacked it on my Spectral 29 at 160mm. So far it's been good. Nice direct, confident feeling chassis. It stays higher in the stroke more often...which I don't mind because I'm a bigger, taller guy. It seems to be pretty sensitive to air pressure changes around the sweet-spot....but I haven't ridden it enough yet...or had enough tweaking & tuning time with it yet. And I've only hit my local suburban trails with it. I'm keen to take it to the bike park as soon as I get some time.

[@HajrhJsjcjus-oe5ek]

I love Manitou..its good with little weight, and it just looks really nice. Even my dirt fork that sinks in like 4cm when I do stuff that feels like RB Rampage, is really soft on the first 2 centimeters..I rode that in a Bikepark. Manitou forks are just so amazing. I don't know bout the shock's cause I'm a hardtail rider, but the forks are amazing. Especially for short travel (less than 160mm)

[@45H4W]

Great video with awesome riding. That 360 imo really shows just how steep that terrain is.

[@pat_unit]

This is "real" Mountainbiking holy crap 😳👏

[@craigsteele8178]

SICK riding bro! you Canadians are very lucky to have such epic trails to shred!Enjoy!!...

[@bigslacker666]

I ride mostly park, and 1000% you want a big fork if you're doing double black tech trails. Falling on rocks sucks, love my Zeb! Good job not dying BTW!

[@healingsoul13]

Beautiful views. I will keep my riding on the roads. I fall enough as it is. LOLOL

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

The insta 360 is very cool in a lot of ways. However, the "We are riding on a 100' sphere" perspective is not one of them. I can't even imagine riding that last run! Insane.

[@txmale5070]

yeah your gonna want that kinda of travel if you mainly do downhill

[@robrider838]

No snow in Pemberton this time of year? Crazy.

[@matth8924]

You paid for 180mm, your gonna use all 180mm.

[@daltonknapton]

Man I really need to get up to Pemby and ride that trail. Solid video as always

[@philippelemaire4363]

What is that trail named 😮!?!?!?

[@JayRock907]

I like how these new 360 cams make MTB POV rides look and feel so much more immersive! seriously it feels like im right there! like if you do enough riding to get the muscle memory reactions that im getting, you know what i mean! haha thanks for the upload!

[@RoachDogggJR]

Ate it up tho on that front case

[@MRhankylolka]

i ride 190mm fork on my e-enduro

[@LoamerMTB]

Well that wasn’t clickbait… 😂😳

[@FREERIDE-MTB]

Great Trail and great riding. I really must visit canada one day.

[@iclimb2c55]

What tire pressures do you typically run? In trails such as these in the video do you adjust at all?

[@uskypg]

Honestly the video from that camera looks pretty bad, the distorted wide view is also hard to watch, the handlebar looks like it has a front sweep and is from an old XC... But ooh, the sponsor 😂got it

[@VanCan]

I’ve got the new cam which is a more traditional fov. Those will start in Feb!

[@uskypg]

@@VanCan great, can't wait to see those videos, curios if the low light at least will be better than go pro. On paper it should be better

[@REYisKING]

I'm 51, and run a 190mm fork on my 21 Capra Al. I just want to get down those Santa Cruz trails in one piece.

[@bakerdeathwish88]

Do people maintain these trails? Coz that would be a long distance trail to maintain.

[@the510wagon]

What a trail !!! I don't know how you guys descend for that long, at that intensity. My forearms and hands would just completely blow-up about 2/3rds down.

[@ashleytombs]

Wow I thought I was mad riding Street on my JB in Wind and rain yesterday but Nick at 9:45 OMG thank God he still with because that was insane

[@jackscott3306]

Beautiful mountain, where and which one?

[@lucacadianalbert]

damn that trail - fabulous!!! wow! Glad your fork saved you in that chute!!

[@flgfish]

The audio is so good that I’m pretty sure I can hear some brake rub Nick!

[@illestFlavor]

Did you hit your fork lowers on the tight rock section

[@ryansteiger6960]

Thank you for the video Nick 👍 I would love to ride that trail. But maybe in dry conditions 🙂

[@filippadak2736]

Hi, nice riding. Rear travel 160 or 180? ✌️ from CZ, Europe

[@ottopeede]

perfect ride and super smooth footage for such a gnarly ruff trail. how much pressure do you ride on your tires? teh view at 07:40 is super impressive, where is that?

[@VanCan]

Usually 20/26. This is in Pemberton

[@ottopeede]

@VanCan do you life there in the area around Pemberton? I'm planning my next vacation in BC, btw I'm from Germany, and it's my absolute dream to visit canada. Two years ago, I bought a Propain Spindrift and visited a lot of bike parks here in Germany. But the trails you have there are on another level. I absolutely love it

[@MTBDirtSurfin]

Ok ive been watching for a long time. And i just gotta ask. How are you not overheating your brakes? Youre using the brakes all the way down the trail! I cam imagine youre using them pretty hard with how steep it is!! Please tell me what kinda pads youre running and what youre doing to keep the pressure up! Cause i ride some pretty steep stuff sometimes and my brakes lose pressure or start smoking!!!

[@VanCan]

XT brakes

[@MTBDirtSurfin]

@@VanCan are you getting brake fade or burning through pads every ride?

[@commandertree6299]

were you riding with Marcus Vanheisht saw the video he made at pemberton

[@VanCan]

Not this day

[@enduro_sztambuch]

Nick, I'm considering buying x3 as my secondary camera, and I'm sure that it is great tool for social media playforms, but I have some considerations about editing material from it on PC, for youtube videos. Maybe some video about how you edit footage from insta 360? Love your videos, you are huge inspiration for my channel!

[@VanCan]

I edit the videos on the insta360 desktop app

[@enduro_sztambuch]

@@VanCan Do you colour grade it there too?

[@myusername570]

I have an x3 just for personal trip videos. The apps are amazing. The phone is stupid easy. The desktop is stupid easy. I'm no youtuber or anything and found the software did most of the work and was easy to figure out.

[@VanCan]

No, I don't grade, I just use vivid colours

[@adijay9760]

Bigger is better?

How many tokens do you run in the front fork?

None

@@VanCan geez that’s surprising should try 2 or 3 tokens plush but supportive keeps front end up. I’m 6.3” 94kg adding tokens best help for support and hits on gnar features. Be keen to hear how you find it :) Cheers mate keep shredding 👊

[@edneyjunior6919]

That was a nice video but you said you filmed in 5 k but is just 1080 ( full-hd ) Available to watch, compromising the quality for who are watching in big screens like me.

its 5k in 360... So he cant get 5k resolution when he crops it to just the forward-facing portion...
