TOO STEEP for Mountain Bikes?

[@Yourguitarworkshop]

Loving all the videos! My son (6) is into mountain biking and so I started doing the same so we can spend more time together. Now I love it so much and your videos have helped me a lot (stand up to the jump) so I'm somewhat able to keep up with him :-) Also a lot of respect for the quality of your production, as a fellow youtuber I know what goes into the making of a single video so I admire the content quality!

[@casestudymtb]

Stoked to see Beth doing better and back on the bike! This trip looks like an ideal early season rip, might have to go on the calendar for next year!

[@letsgoridebikes]

Lol @10:08 the pics Hunter took and the music. What a good time riding bikes!

[@TheLoamRanger]

He took some... creative liberties there. Haha

[@letsgoridebikes]

@@TheLoamRanger it was good for a chuckle!

[@johannesrink3211]

I think no one can do better in terms of cutting, commenting, working with Pictures. I Love the way you Produce Videos

[@leightonstarks2328]

Dude. That was like Remy squamish level. So impressed. I just hit my first real slab in Tahoe. Can't wait to build up to this.

[@JoshAllenberg]

If I had to choose a (small) city to live in, it would be Penticton. Close enough to Kelowna for the airport, close enough to at least 3 bike parks plus the KBR, dry enough to keep my hate of rain in check, right next to 2 lakes. Great area!

[@chaccotv7713]

I know it is impossible but more please. best MTB channel hands down

[@mwaissmann]

Hey man, great video. I’m in Penticton right now, what were the trails you road before? I already took a spin on Drops-a lot and I’m going for another ride.

[@3BrothersExtreme]

The kiddos are crushing it!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Totally. Kinda scary. Mostly awesome.

[@danwebber9494]

You should try to get to Spokane and ride Beacon hill. Modern flow lines and some very steep tech slabs.

[@SparkleDonkey]

I'm a new rider one season in and on a hardtail and my buddy accidentally took me down Drops Alot. He said, "you're not going to want to look at that trail sign", haha. Anyway I crashed 4 times but had fun. I had to scramble down that huge cliff and nobody believed me it was that big and steep so you've vindicated me because I've sent all the disbelievers links to your video! Great content, learning tons.

[@MTBMOR]

It's crazy what a bike or skis/snowboard can go down....Sick riding!

[@erinempie2604]

I love your content! Keep doing what your doing.

[@Axr24have]

Nice one Ryan! Looks like you chose a good day to ride, a summer day can be a bit toasty.

[@gregstevens2917]

Rowdy! Looks like a blast...

[@ExploreWithPhil]

Those slabs look scary but fun. I've ridden that bottom section before, great times.

[@Bike4adventure]

looks so AWESOME!!

[@mikenimmick3920]

WOW...that was steep. Awesome job.

[@Eli.pov3]

absolutely love these videos

[@Milkdudsandpancakes]

Switching over to strictly insta360?? I’m debating making the switch…such a tough comparison (when in single lens mode) but I like the greater field of view and less “GoPro effect” with the 360.

[@hobmarg]

What's the trail before Drops-a-Lot with all the slabs? Have ridden the mice a few times but don't recognize it, looks amazing.

[@SlowMtbRider]

So many absolutely beautiful bikes ridden by so many beautiful people...

[@B1KER]

I'm just like you, I like the rocks and chunky bits. That place looks rad.

[@letsgoridebikes]

Nah... #itsuckshere 😜

[@ltrtg13]

When Ryan asked how he keeps getting in to these things. My first thought was practice. From the videos I've watched. It looks like he's had plenty of practice.

[@curtlarson99]

@theloamranger what bike rack are you all using at the very end of this video?

[@MAEBikr]

Hmm, wonder why I moved here? Great Job!

[@powerbound33]

Very nice! 🎉

[@kronycmyst3020]

nice vid btw

[@Iceteamix]

What bikes do you fellows use?

[@jasoncass8771]

Drops a lot looks way too fun. How are you liking the Mezzer? I had a Ribbon Coil and switched to a Mezzer. The damping and chassis stiffness was worlds better.

[@TheLoamRanger]

I've been so, so impressed with the Mezzer Pro. I've never ridden a fork that stayed so high in its travel before, while still being plush. Very confidence inspiring.

[@erickverdera4221]

​@@TheLoamRangerwhats your IRT settings to.achieve this? If want my mezzer to be plush on big rock gardens to minimize hand fatigue I tend to set it at lower IRT pressures which makes it linear, smooth but it doesnt sit as high on its travel. Thanks!

[@canadianpineapple9745]

Looking for some opinions on metallic brake pads. Are they always loud or just sometimes?? Sounds like some of you had them in the video im just wondering

[@TheLoamRanger]

I'm quite sure Evan's brakes were contaminated, which is why they were so loud (and why he couldn't stop). I find TRP's to be the quietest brakes, no matter which pads you go for. The Hayes Dominions I'm on in this video are generally very quiet as well, but they do make some noise when wet.

[@canadianpineapple9745]

@TheLoamRanger Awsome, thanks for the reply! I just got a GT Force Pro LE and it came with metallic pads. I like to record my riding and I'm debating swapping them for organic pads. But I'm racing in the canmore enduro so maybe not 🫤

[@asavage3654]

Where do you find those slabs?

[@TheLoamRanger]

They’re not exactly… sanctioned, so I can’t say. I also don’t even recall where they were. It was all a blur… haha

[@thegrommechanic6265]

nice!

[@aaronstariha6841]

Is this the Three Blind Mice are? The first part of the video looks different but the trail gap part was definitely Three Blind Mice

[@letsgoridebikes]

It's all in the Three Blind Mice area.

[@playgroundchooser]

Pretty sure my brake pads got contaminated by hanging off the back of my car in a rainstorm after a hot day. They make that same sound.... and then fail me too. 🤣

[@peterliljebladh]

Hardtails need not apply.

[@toddtansowny633]

Trailforks links??

[@TheLoamRanger]

Good call! I'll add some right away.

[@modepp5811]

​@@TheLoamRangerwhat was the trail called that you did before drops alot pls?I want to ride it!

[@pubfixture]

@@modepp5811 The one with the slab to wood is on High Roller.

[@patb6281]

Are your kids on 27.5?

[@flowstateofmind]

I love this shit but whats up with the open face helmets? Those rockslabs can slabp you in the face you know...

[@kangsterizer]

so hard to say how steep it is. at least tires stayed on the rock so theres that check lol.

[@pinbike]

The chunk is too much for the 360 cameras

[@dehumanizer21]

Damn that WR1 Arrival tho....

[@kronycmyst3020]

2nd

[@testtesttesttesttest884]

Why do flat billed hats like that make grown men look like 10 year olds.

[@MacRaceyMTB]

First!

[@kronycmyst3020]

i'll win next time!!

[@Derekforeal]

Nope

[@michaelstgo5399]

Uhm, no full face? Lol

[@thescerigai]

wear a full face dude, you like your teeth right?

[@Mavrik-60]

I do think the word freedom is now hate speech in Canada isn't it. They wouldn't like me anyway i carry. I come visit when y'all win your freedom back. Tootaloo

[@GumpterCrayon]

nice man good for you. this wasn't a political video....

[@testtesttesttesttest884]

Okay boomer
