- Silver Star.
It's the third stop of our I Only Ride Park Tour.
- I kind of feel like Silver Star
is where it's all gonna start coming out
and getting unleashed.
(energetic music)
- Whoa.
- I'm expecting big jumps here.
- The guy went huge and ended up ejecting.
(energetic music)
(energetic music ends)
(bluesy guitar melody)
- So we are in Silver Star.
- We took the RV from Sun Peaks
that RV just, just hauls now I feel one with the RV.
- Well the drive took two and a half hours but it just blew
by when you're in the back of the RV.
The drives in BC are beautiful.
It changed quite often down the highway.
Your, your scenery changes.
- In the Walmart parking lot I had my first PB and J.
Cheers.
(laughter) - This is one of the earlier places
I got behind a camera to shoot mountain biking.
So there's some sentimental value here.
You can't beat the scenery here.
The ski-runs are gorgeous.
The flowers are popping and it's just like this 360
panoramic view of mountains everywhere you look.
- [Lucas] All the buildings in the village are
different colors which gives it a kind of cool vibe.
- [David] Very cool very quaint I would call it.
Interesting architecture and buildings and and colors.
- [Alonso] We're staying in the snowbird right now
and it's been, it's been nice.
Got like almost like a LAN party setup in the editing bay.
- Plenty of space to cruise around.
Have your own little tucked away zones.
- [Matt] Yeah, the hotel obviously 10 outta 10.
Super stoked.
It was so good I haven't been in the RV for three days.
(upbeat music)
- [Kaz] First lap we did was a group ride
with the media guys as well.
We had Lucas, Alonso and Scott join us.
- Been really good to get some laps in
before throwing the camera bag on.
Just trying to work on the skills
get more comfortable on the jumps.
♪The sun was shining on my back door yesterday♪
♪but you came through and washed my light away♪
- So day one started off with a bang.
It's hot, it's dry and the trails are running fast.
- We ended up on Rockstar.
It was great to sort of work up
to some bigger steps so that was awesome to get right
into that and get start getting some air time.
♪And I'll shoot down this idea♪
- Nice Matt
- Yo!
♪ Thing that you say I'm a hard one ♪
- Yes. Hailey. Yes. Hailey. Oh my god.
She's only gone and done it!

That was super fun.
♪ This heart of gold ♪
- [Alonso] I hit my first wall ride the other day.
That was a lot of fun
and one just like snuck up on me
and before I knew it I was riding it.
♪ Baby, baby, babe ♪
- [Jason] The crew has just been kind of getting comfortable
on their bikes, getting used to each other
getting used to the sessions.
There are some big jump trails here,
and I kind of feel like Silver Star
is where it's all gonna start coming
out and getting unleashed.
(gentle uplifting music)
- Yeah dude!
- [Ollie] We came across this insane right hand hip,
which was it was a good one for me
to do a couple whips on it, a couple little steezes,
but I did know that Jason had been chatting
about potentially a 270
'n this I think was a great jump
for him to maybe like kind of dabble with that, you know?
(rock music)
- [Jason] Yeah, this is something I've been wanting to do
on my downhill bike for a long time.
The vibe was kind of right.
I did a couple of half committed spins where I just jumped
off the bike halfway through because I didn't quite
know what that would feel like.
Coach Ollie Jones who, who's a spin master was
kind of talking me through the process.
- Come more off the corner, you're literally like so close.
- Then I just started chucking 'em. (laughs)
(rock music)
- [Jason] I think on the fifth or sixth try,
I finally managed to stick it.
It wasn't clean, I will admit, but it was a good first one
for me to get that out of the way.
(rock music)
- So we're obviously incorporating some pranks
into this series and I thought
that meant we were gonna prank you know
passers by other riders not internal pranks.
- Guys, we need dishwasher tabs.
- The little special trip to grocery store
Lord Aberdeen this morning.
Let's see how he likes them apples.
So yeah, we've had a lack of pranks internally
and you know I always find that it brings the crew together.
I think that's part of the reason why crew cohesion is
at an all time high right now.
- Woo, good delivery boys.
- Do I get the oh (groans) (laughing)
- Oh snap
- 9:00 AM I'm supposed to go ride and film all day.
Had to slam that as you do.
- Got Jason pretty good, got Lucas pretty good.
Got David pretty good.
(laughing) - Ah, you bastards.
- Ah (laughing)
- And then that night
unsuspectingly, I guess shame on me.
I go to use the washroom in Kaz's room.
I flip open the toilet lid and
There's a goddamn Smirnoff Ice under the toilet lid.
- I have my pants undone and everywhere.
(laughter)
That's two in one day. I didn't
had to drink that right away too.
Ah. Should we go ride bikes? - Yeah.
- Day two we started off on Rockstar.
- [Hailey] It was awesome. Yeah the the stuff here
is just the jumps are really session-able
and they're interesting in the sense
of like how they flow and so it is really rad to
spend some time working through them.
(upbeat electronic music)
- And then we came across this super sweet section
of burns, shark fins and step downs
massive berm that they cut into the ground.
It was basically underground and into a step up.
- After that we rode down to Huckleberry Hits.
- Oh yeah, what trail did we just hit?
- Rockstar.
- Speaking of rock stars.
- Hello.
- As luck would have it, Mark Matthews also showed up.
If you're not familiar with Mark
you should go check him out on YouTube and Instagram.
That dude is insane.
- Drop in!
(gravel crunching under tires)
(steady percussion beat)
- [Matt] Mark has one of the steeziest whips
I've seen on a bike
and he was whipping
so big on those huckleberry jumps.
I thought he was doing a 360
but he was just so sideways, it was crazy.
(gentle electronic music)
(gravel crunching under tires)
- Aha!
- Get closer to me.
- There was this really fun step up,
and Ollie just like dropped in
and he threw a three and he landed it
and everything was awesome and we were all stoked.
- And then he went to go for it again and yeah he just
the guy went huge and ended up like ejecting it.
- [Ollie] Went down on my palm again
and just like twice the size,
just like double whammy, ripped this thing open again.
And it's been giving me problems to be honest.
- [Matt] It was a bummer to see Ollie down
but I know it's not gonna take long
for him to get back on the bike.
He'll probably be back on tomorrow.
- All right bit of a short live session there on Pro Star.
We had unfortunately Ollie Jones
crash on 360.
So we're gonna head down, make sure he is okay.
Clean up his wounds and then uh, figure it out from there.
We'll probably probably come back up do some biking.
We got it. It's the Only Ride Park Tour.
That's all we're here for.
So see you guys
wherever we see ya.

(gentle lo-fi music)
- We did another fan meet up and that was fun as usual.
I think my favorite part of the fan meet up
so far is getting everybody to do planks for the Pit Vipers,
and Silver Star
out-planked Sun Peaks.
But after that we went for the mega train.
(lo-fi music)
- [Matt] The group ride was really fun.
It's good just to be out there with the fans
actually doing the thing that everybody loves...biking.
It's special to be out there and and share that moment.
(lo-fi music)
- Poor Lucas and Scott, we left them filming us on the train
for like 25 minutes and they were just getting eaten alive
but the shots were great so it was worth it.
- Awwwwrggg! (insects buzzing)
- Holy (bleep) oh shit (Insects buzzing)
- So big surprise. Ollie's back despite the hand wound.
- So we committed today to doing a challenge on Double Dog.
- They have this like crazy teeter tot
thing that we rode today that was like, it swings
- [Kaz] There was like a PVC band under it
so that it could wobble this way.
It could wobble up and down,
and it could wobble front to back.
- All right, so three tries on the skinny or you have to
have a ghost pepper so it's not just
one person that's gonna do it.
- Yeah, I, I'm pretty sure I have done it not often though
and probably not in three tries.
- Oh I really don't wanna ghost pepper.
Really, really don't.
- Oh, first try.
- What the hell?
- First try.
- Oh daddy. Oh my god. What the hell?
Oh my God. It's a teety.
- What the hell?
- Watch your (bleep) camera bag on
(screaming) (buzzer)
- Cam number one, Hailey, you got two more.
- No way you're counting this.
- Oh yeah you got three tries.
- You guys are sadists.
- Oh.
Maybe nobody's eating ghost peppers today.
- Well hang on, we got camera guy.
(upbeat music)
(buzzer)
- Basically Kaz and Jason lost.
- Yeah I'm not a skinny kind of guy.
I'm a bit chunky so.
- So...
Ghost Peppers.
- [Hailey] Double Dog is a bunch
of interesting features
that range
from like skinny's to on offs to, I don't even know.
Oh there was a wall ride.
I was really stoked because I like stuff that is
kind of requires
your brain to get
a little bit involved in executing it.
- Yes Hailey.
Yeah.
Nice one.
- Yeah, it's been a while since I did a no-hander lander.
I used to do those when I was pretty young.
I was just feeling it this time.
Seemed like a pretty mellow step up it's nice and flat.
(upbeat instrumental)
- Whoa. Jason are you good?
- No way.
(lo-fi music)
(bikes rustling down path)
- [Kaz] We made it to the bottom of the trail,
We got back to the hotel and we just decided
to eat the ghost pepper together.
- I don't know why we bought these.
I don't don't remember putting them on any grocery lists
but we do have ghost peppers with us.
- [Kaz] So that was a bit of an ordeal.
We had a nice little date set up.
- Oh boy.
Oh man this sucks.
- You have tears?
- Yeah
- [Jason] Both Kaz and I were couched
for at least half an hour to 45 minutes.
I was crying, my nose was running.
It was a proper, proper punishment.
If we do one of these again I'm trying way harder
'cause I don't wanna do that ever again.
- Well, so we'll start with such a blast
but now we're off to Big White down in Kelowna.
- [Matt] I think people are going hard in Big White.
I'm a little concerned, I think the tops
are gonna blow off.
(rock music)
- [Hailey] I would like to work on some tricks.
I know there's some amazing jumps there.
- We've had some mishaps in the past
and I wouldn't be surprised
if we have some more mishaps in the future.
- Whoa
- Ooh whoa.
(rock music)
(laughter)
- Put 'em to work young.
- Mahalo.
- Uh ma oh.
- My dude.
- Dude.
(edgy upbeat music)
