Trying to Ride the Hardest Bike Trail in Squamish

Treasure Trail is easily the most technical mountain bike trail in Squamish. I've been pretty intimated by giving it a go but luckily BCPOV stopped by to take me down it. I didn't have the confidence to try everything down here for sure, but just trying it for the first time is always the biggest hurdle - hope you enjoy this video!

[@PaulThePunter]

Thanks again Eric! Would definitely be way easier to fire down this trail in one go instead of spending 3.5 hours filming 😂. Next time I’ll do a classic gopro run on it I think!

[@andrewnorris5415]

Thanks for filming it. Eric looks very trustable when he says you can roll it. Great guy.

Paul, have you posted your GoPro video of you riding this trail yet? There are over 2 1/2 hours before dark, get your light on and let's goooooooooooooooo! p.s. we're expecting to hear singing.

[@itsgoretecks]

​@@NirreFirre you arent even able to comprehend the scale of the rolls in this video, you cant say that this is just a "normal" trail. Squamish has some of the best mountain biking in the world, and this trail is one of the most difficult in Squamish. I'm sure the trails where you're from are great, but you can't compare them unless you've ridden both

[@masonrudolph7249]

eric is a patient man

[@PaulThePunter]

Haha he sure is!

[@compasteedee]

This was awesome! It's hard to convey the tension and fear, but this was one of the best I've seen on KZbin. I think most people who have ridden any amount of time biking can empathize with what you are going through. Thanks for being vulnerable, it is what I think sets your channel apart.

[@PaulThePunter]

That's what I do on my channel - stoked when someone comments this! You've made my day. Filming yourself while riding really makes you accountable for not doing things, it motivates me for sure next time I'm riding down the trail. You're rad, keep being rad ✊

[@knordberg]

This was so cool to see filmed from the bottom. Looks so much worse than the POV footage. This stuff is crazy.

[@PaulThePunter]

Thanks Kris! Stoked you enjoyed it.

[@gobikeyourself]

Most entertaining video guys :) I can relate so much to how your legs are shaking on top of those features. And you did a great job - together with Eric - to overcome those doubts and fears. 5:43 is probably the best mtb-youtube moments I saw this year, kudos for trying and clearing it finally, I would for sure have chickened out! Hat to hit subscribe immediately! Great channel!

[@PaulThePunter]

THANKS SO MUCH! It really means a lot when I see comments like this, great to have you around.

[@tired_brickmason34]

i think full face helmets would be better for this type of riding,

[@PaulThePunter]

Likely!

[@wolfenstein731]

Was about to say.

[@michaelbarnett2077]

Yes all these mtb channels with their fashionable enduro helmets set a bad example for the newer riders getting into the sport.

[@username6265]

last year i went mountainbikeing in Thailand and had a full face helmet for the first time. i went single track downhill, front tire slipped away and fell REALLY HARD on my face... I`m still thankfull people invented the full face helmpet becouse i woudnt have had a face to put a helmet on anymore :)

[@ballylama593]

Not many riders here in full face because it gets linked to alot of all mountain riding.

[@blixxgfx582]

Idk why but: "increase..... SPEED" was so funny to me I almost spilled my coffee when you repeated it xD

OMG! can't believe the nature and the kind of trails you have over there. Looks like something from a fantasy movie. Just unreal how beautiful and sick trails you've got--- I'm sooo jealous... Nice riding as well. Really liked the orange/red Santa Cruz.

I’m sure those rock rolls look even steeper when your are looking down from the top.

Thanks!

[@fillfreakin2245]

Good job of showing the intensity of pushing boundaries of what your comfortable doing. Also, not being afraid to say: "not today". I doubt I would try most of what you did in this video. The only thing I thought I would do that you didn't was that wood feature to off camber rock and back to wood. It didn't look too slick, and with the slight turn on the rock looked comfortably doable. But sometimes you just mindf**k yourself, and then it's best to leave for another day. I bet if you were just riding with a buddy without stopping all the time you could follow someone into it no problem. I definitely would have chickened out of that big slab you took 10 minutes to decide to drop!

Haha it's not about flat pedals! Sometimes trails are just hard and intimidating, nothing to do with the gear you are using.

+Paul The Punter yeah for sure, but being able to just step on/off your bike in a sketchy spot makes a huge difference.

The more time you spend thinking of ways you'll fuck up a line is only going to make it harder. I haven't watched any of your other videos, but you seem to be way too negative and hard on yourself. Just ride your bike. You're not going to learn anything by doing everything right the first time.

[@PaulThePunter]

Thanks Levi! Kind words. Watch some other videos, that would be great!

[@letsgoridebikes]

It's hard to ride stuff like that when you stop and look. Just gotta find the flow and SEND IT.

[@PaulThePunter]

Yah.....but the camera guy has to do the job! 😂 Thanks Evan!

[@letsgoridebikes]

Totally understand. The few times I've gone out to work on a film project I've found it hard to get into the groove. I crash more and take more stupid risks.

[@fromxctoletssee]

damn that wide angle makes it look RIDICULOUS. wow. bring on the ropes. thanks for the adventure

[@PaulThePunter]

Haha ropes might have helped!

[@tkdbboy]

Sweet vid! ... consider grabbing a fullface or even something like the bell super DH for trails like this to kill some of that fear. Also elbow pads because those rocks can hurt! Might seem like overkill in the short term but your long term gains will be better

[@PaulThePunter]

I have a fox proframe and while I love it, the full face doesn't help with the fear! Fear is just fear. Hard trails are just hard. Life is life. Deep comment replies are deep. 🙏

[@tkdbboy]

That's fair enough, keep at it :)

[@gregmartens758]

This is an awesome combination of someone confident on the trail showing you the moves and encouraging you to ride them. As others have mentioned the camera angles from below definitely help to show at least a little how steep some of this stuff is. I hope you do another collaboration together.

I'm sure we will Greg - thanks for the message!

[@kirilltj5781]

Paul, I really enjoy watching your progression. Those parts somehow makes us closer spiritually, if you know what I mean. I feel for you. It's very inspiring to be a better rider. Keep it up! btw, it's an already known fact, but worth mentioning: Eric is a very good teacher!

[@OryxAnAngryBoi]

Right! I want my downvote! ;)

[@paperaxes4192]

I used to ride the most technical trail in my State every other day, with no helmet, jean shorts, and a no-suspension Giant tube bike. It wasn't as fancy as this trail (we didn't have any of those beautiful wood ladderpaths, those are like some sort of Robin Hood tree villa stuff!) but I hit it with my best friend day in and day out and at first we tried to get through without stopping to rest, then without falling, and eventually for speed, blasting past guys with thousand-plus-dollar bikes and race shirts etc. This point of me telling you this isn't to brag, because I'm not bragging - it's to tell you that one of the reasons why we were able to be so damn good at this is because we had absolutely no idea that what we were doing was really hard, or that we totally should have had helmets on (this was when they were just getting popular), or so many other things that I've learned since then. But we had no real fear of the obstacles because we knew how to ride and could either put our bikes in between ourselves and an obstacle or we knew how to jump clear and roll if we absolutely sh*t the bed. Most of the obstacles on the trail you showed looked like they'd be WAY easier if you stopped worrying and just went for them - the hardest bits I saw were the short landings and sharp turns after. Otherwise, just shotgun everything and woo-hooooo all the way down. YOU CAN DO IT, PAUL!

[@andrec.136]

I am not sure if this has been suggested before, but I will take full credit for it if it comes to pass :) Why not film in 3d where the viewer has to wear 3d glasses for some parts of the video. I am sure that will give a better perspective of some of these drops and rock rolls. POV will really be scary and Red Bull Rampage would surely give the viewer the shakes.

[@drbigmix7752]

Paul The Punter It gives you more confidence on the big features that if a disaster happens you’ll be ok. Might reduce the ten mins to drop a bit. Gear up and get down then once you know you can do it, and skills are high, reduce the gear a little.

There are lots of trails with bigger rock slabs and tech lines, Squamish is a really hard place to judge the hardest "trail" because some lines aren't considered complete trails, long slabs are one feature, versus multiple smaller tech features.

[@antony1974]

One of the things I am curious about is have you ever raced competitively aka XC? I was a racer about 18 years ago for 10 years. Life took over and 'serious' jobs. My point is that the majority of XC courses in the UK back in the day had technical sections such as these, and when in competition you have to 100 percent commit or lose places. That gives you the confidence, similar to your other video DH, training which you were singing. Racing XC thinking of the guy behind taking your position is very similar in my humble opinion.

[@PaulThePunter]

I can tell you that there are 0 courses like treasure trail in the UK. None. Trust me, I've seen them all.

[@neil8288]

Great video...I know exactly what you are saying...sometimes my son will go come on old man you can do it! but it's hard to overcome the fear on some of those north shore or Vancouver island island technical trails. But each time it does get easier!!

[@eliasbinde2629]

I don’t know, I’ve never seen this trail in person but to me it looks rather doable. The only feature I’d be worried about is the drop but anything else looks like it’s just steep and gnarly and seems to have decent grip. Don’t know but getting up high in the air on big gaps or doubles has all ways been what I struggled with but never steep or gnarly terrain.
