That Wasn't a Drop

[@mrvwbug4423]

If you ask Remy it's a huge drop, if you ask Yoann it's a wall ride haha

[@squirrelsmovingpictures]

lol, i was just gonna say, wait, i saw remy throw himself off of the yesterday, haha

[@lamefart]

"Little drop."

[@MTBCoop]

We've never seen you hit the deck! Glad you walked away!

[@svens.4694]

It's a roll. Here's my take: A roll can be dropped, but I drop cannot be rolled. Therefore it must be a roll.

[@letsgo_inc]

I support this take

[@canadianoversee-r5937]

Haha. We were suspicious of the log and plank as well. I was relieved it was attached as well...easily entertained

[@dantindley5181]

1:34 its shaped like a roll, but it has a landing. So that makes it the hellchild between the two

[@dash0173]

im not sure what it was about this video but I had a much better sense of steepness. really cool

[@fivetool]

There is a great Remy video where he totally sends that feature and turns it into a pretty sick looking drop. It actually looked pretty smooth, but that is Remy Metailler doing it.

[@PiotrRorot]

exctly, which make it a drop, rite?

[@chocoloco911]

That man is less than a god but more than man, like Hercules or somethin.

[@jasonmarshall5593]

After watching this video, I started watching that Remy video! You beat me to it :P

[@willbros1499]

Great riding!! It's hard to fathom riding rocks like that, because on our Arkansas limestone or even sandstone rocks, most of that wouldn't be possible when it's dry, much less when there's ANY moisture. It just reinforces my desire to get up to the Northshore area and at least try that style of riding. GREAT VIDEO!

[@aGDonut]

Even on my hardtail, AR rocks have plenty of grip. Not sure what you’re in about. 😅

[@willbros1499]

@@aGDonut .... If we had rock rolls that were as steep as the ones on the north shore here, you wouldn't be able to brake on them at all. You would pick up speed with your wheels locked. We don't have anything approaching that level of steepness on rock slabs. There's one really steep one at Mt. Fitzgerald, but you can't even slow down on it from the top. Take the angled slab that comes off Sally at Blowing Springs by Lake Bella Vista. That's not nearly as steep, and you can't hold your brakes at all past the split or you'll slide and gather speed, and it's nowhere near as steep as the rock rolls in this video....not even close. I'm sure you can make everything around here look like slick rock on your hardtail.

[@aGDonut]

@@willbros1499 I kind of see your point but, also kind of disagree. We definitely have features that steep in some spots but, they’re like 5 second rolls where the ones in the video are basically the whole trail. 😇 As for my Hardtail, yeah, you’re right. I’m a skiddy boy. 😅 Go fast don’t die out there fellow AR shredder. 🤘

[@willbros1499]

@@aGDonut ..... Those guys are out there on wet tires with mud on them, riding down those slabs. I still contend that you try that on our rocks with even wet tires, and you're probably going to hit the deck. You're certainly not going to be able to slow the bike down like they were doing on anything nearly that steep. It's cool to agree to disagree, because while I've ridden other places like Moab where the rocks have more grip than anything we have here BY FAR, I haven't ridden in that Northshore area and can't say how the rocks compare. I just know there's ZERO chance I would try even one rock roll that steep here if I had a drop of water on my tire.

[@JulianKent]

Try super soft rubber compounds, makes a big difference in the wet on hard situations.

[@MountainBikeMatt]

Hey Nic! Last fall I rode my 27.5 Enduro bike in Squamish and found my front wheel getting hung up quite often, that is, until it got stuck and I sprained my back going OTB... I gotta ask if you found that to be the case on your 27.5 Warden? Thanks, and keep up the great content!

[@VanCan]

There's definitely less roll over with the little wheels, so could be!

[@alanblurr1265]

@@VanCan Funny that different in size between wheel sizes is so small, but it still makes a difference in wheel size holes, maybe go back to 26" for some trails to be un ride able again?

[@Knoxvillethegreat]

It’s a droll. It’s when you get scared and lift the front wheel but the back wheel is rolling all the way.

[@mustclime5311]

many people may have noticed in the comments that I keep saying there’s the normal line and there is the Dave line He does lines that no one else would even think of doing at 1:25 that’s why I keep saying He needs his own trail difficulty level Nick the answer to your question drop or Roll it depends who you are lol

It's a drop, if you were to brake at all, you would slide. Your wheels just sorta touch as your descending down it. Wayyy too sharp of an angle for a roll

It's not a drop or a roll go watch yohan barelli it's a huge gap

[@RobbisTV]

I think the intended line is a drop, it seems the line most people are riding it isn't the intended line for the landing. It seems like it's meant to be hucked at a bit higher speeds from further back, rather than ridden down the side of the slab to the landing. There is a line that can be rolled, but I don't think that's what the builders had in mind (could be wrong but that's how it reads to me). Just my take haha Anyways, sick section trails and riding boys! YEEWWW!!!! :D \m/
