dude the hardtail is mint for this, yo!
today we're gonna be riding at two different locations both within the
Fraser Valley and both places I've never been to before so we're gonna be
exploring some new stuff on my hardtail.
what's up guys Boostmaster here I'm
here at a new location this is called the watershed I've never been here
before and so this is Wesley's home grounds oh yeah it's super epic and he's
gonna show me around and there's a lot of short kind of cool little trails and
fun stuff to ride so I'm excited to try it out, brought my Diamondback sync'r
hardtail, which he says will be awesome for this place we're doing stuff a bit
backwards today we're actually gonna start on the double black rated trail
but honestly it's not actually that big of a deal it just looks pretty sweet to me!
Oh I like that!
I think I can do that with a bit more confidence
cuz like it doesn't look the most grippy it kind of looks slippery
I think your rear end slipped a bit didn't it yeah it's like you want your
kind of keep your momentum up but like it does look a bit slippery with the moss
the trails here are all really short let me show you exactly what I mean
All right getting the whole line
yeah
oh yeah oh yeah
that was good fun
Wesley then wanted to show me this sketchy-looking drop I wasn't
gonna do it but he said he was good to try it so see how it goes
sick
apparently it's one of sketchiest roll in's Wesley's ever done oh well
let's see what else this place has yeah I think that to just fall from the high
fire yeah you need all the space we can get to turn around
who doesn't like good sketchy and tight hip jump let's do it try something new
and kind of sketchy barely made it
right on it's a weird one okay okay so maybe that's not exactly good for
beginners but there's a lot more to check out at this place especially if
you're on a hardtail like I am pretty much anyone can have fun out here all
right so we're climbing up to probably the longest descent on this whole
mountain Wesley said it was about a minute and a half long today was the
most commonly-used trail yeah yeah epic descent all right
shred so if you are new to mountain biking or you just want to get into it
trails like this are absolutely perfect for you just go buy a hardtail don't
have to spend too much money or anything and these kind of trails will be so
meant for you to get the hang of just being in the dirt riding some little
rollers and jumps if I was a beginner I would love this place so much I would
want to come here all the time in fact even now I thought it was a
pretty cool place and I do intend on coming back here again but definitely
with the hardtail of course Wesley's downhill bike is way overkill for this
place
glad I brought the hardtop fun so we're at the gravity Bowl apparently there's a
step up and see whoo this looks cool Oh sick looks like a good jolly good time
shred let's try the gravity ball bending it whoa right on yeah I get some good
air I'm gonna see if I can make it back
this is probably one of the cooler little jump trails called goats trail
also just perfect for hard tails honestly you could write a BMX on some
of this stuff just fine so if you want to learn how to mountain bike or want to
learn how to hit jumps you know and maybe you're in the Surrey area go check
out watershed it's definitely a good place to learn but otherwise there's
just not that much to show you guys here so let's go to another and in my opinion
an even better location alright what's up guys we're now at Thornhill mountain
this is the second place I want to show you guys that is really good for
hardtails and for beginners riding here with Amanda Aiden and Wesley well not
all of these trails are good for beginners we're gonna be working our way
up to an advanced jump trail and it's super sick so first we're gonna warm up
on a blue trail called OSR I'll go first okay
OSR try this out Amanda says that she does this trail every time that she
comes here and I'm not surprised it's pretty fun and also works really well on
the hard tail
this was all filmed earlier in march right on the verge of when we needed to
do some more social distancing so you'll see we'll still do some fist bumps here
today but it was soon after this that things really started to ramp up a lot
more
oh this is good warmup
all right what do you think Wes right on the cool thing about Thornhill is it's
actually pretty small hill to climb it probably takes like 15 minutes to climb
up so now we're about to ride a Black Diamond trail called thorne Starr it's
just like what were your road but better try out thorne stuff
oh yeah
Wow
oh is this the fork what we're branching off into here is a brand new pump track
that was built just off of thorn star emerges right back into thorn star and
you know I was actually impressed with just how fun it was well it is nice oh
yes I like it okay what do we do we just witness are you going to circle that's
pretty cool like it shows just keep going
ha ha
yeah
hooligans fresh whoa sorry okay brick
yeah this is a fun trail I like you good place
it looks like a skinny bastard might have missed it look at this yeah that
looks like an old like yeah yeah it's an old right over nobody's written it that
does look pretty cool I don't know if I can do it but you know
that every time we see cool features like this we've got to try them out
this looks so Chucky given to like line up and get onto here and line up is a
maneuver already
okay what the heck
okay what happens it's harder to start like this oh that is so hard but if I
start at like the top of it oh my goodness if I can just make this that'll
be fun enough already I just want to be able to do at least that
so I definitely got a lot of work to do with these skinnies but if I can only
just get that last third of it then I'll be happy for today okay come on okay
there we go
it looks like Wesley got the best go at it doing about two-thirds of it without
taking a foot off yeah you can really tell that people don't ride this anymore
and I can kind of understand because it's pretty difficult but I really do
hope to keep these things alive even though I myself am NOT the best at them
I really want to get better and the only way to get better at them is to practice
on more fun skinny features these need to exist if I ever want to get better at
them you know fun times
that's cool sweet it's fine well I don't know about you guys but I'm about ready
to ride some bigger jumps so we're gonna make our way down a trail called
Ridgeline in to rip and dip see how it goes
what so yeah I don't know do we even have a tube though cuz on the rear can
we get this job awesome yeah there's like bigger jumps in this one really
yeah
and yeah this one really isn't written very much
okay here's the bigger jump since it is a new trail we're just gonna take a
little bit of a peek at this before you ride it it was great okay that one looks
slightly bigger but we actually ran into the Builder of it his name is Derrick so
that was pretty sweet and he's gonna actually tow us in all right Jordan yeah
yeah
who have a so sick yes so sick dude yeah buddy
dude the hardtail is meant for this yo
yeah oh the heart Dale is treating me so well
seriously though the hardtail did make you jumps even easier to clear which is
pretty fun go
yo baby yo so so sick yeah thanks so much dude yeah you're totally helping me
like it gave me the confidence just go for dude there was some jumps for I
wasn't sure if I was going fast enough but with my heart tail I just like boost
though and actually worked out pretty well yeah okay
whoa
so clearly this trail is the best one out here at Thornhill in my opinion
that's probably no surprise to you guys but we're not done here just yet we got
to get a new tube into Wesley's rear tire and then we can't read Amanda is
always beating us at the top of the climb every single time she's just
waiting for us patiently at the top but now let's finish off the day with some
sweet trains oh yeah
no this is basically the ripping depth
Oh
oh yeah so smooth
whoa-ho Wow how was a bit of a hard landing
let's do that
right on that whoa
I'm so stoked that all three of us could get the whole trail together now
unfortunately this trail is above Amanda's skill level so she couldn't do
it but big thanks to Amanda forgetting some good shots of us yo man
well there you have two great places for hardtails great places if you're new to
mountain biking the watershed and Thornhill it was great to get out on my
hard tail and ride some sick jumps you guys will be seeing more of that
