October 2021 is the start of the rainy season here in the Fraser Valley
but that doesn't stop Kamloops from looking absolutely prime now if you're familiar with
my channel you'd know how I love the Kamloops Bike Ranch it's full of so many jumps I'm just
here with a few friends for a day trip and the first thing we always want to do is just get
warmed up on the dirt jumps near the bottom of the park the medium set here is great for that
whoops shoot
the Kamloops Bike Ranch is full of very flowy trails
and there's something for everybody especially if you like jumps it's been a full two and a
half years since I visited the Kamloops Bike Ranch my previous injuries of tennis elbow or
concussion that I had in the past were some of the main reasons why I never bothered coming
out here and by now I'm feeling kind of rusty so i've got a lot of warming up to do again
wesley has some of the sickest one-footed tables hopefully one day I can learn those as well
the icing on the cake out here of course is the big double black trail called fistful of dollars
it's definitely one of the sickest jump lines i've ridden and they've even got shuttle service
out here so I think you can see why this is such an awesome place to ride it costs around $4 per
shuttle now it's not actually that high of a hill to climb up so if you're really into pedaling
you could probably do it in like 15 minutes you want to do like wrangler
yeah i'd be sick but when you've got downhill bikes like us and we just want
to hit the big jump lines 20 of shuttles for an entire day is a pretty nice deal
okay
oh there's wind sucks man
got too much psi my tires I can actually tell the difference I'm pretty sure I put 30 psi in the
front and rear so that's more than normal because you can kind of get away with that in kamloops
I just want to be able to roll faster to keep my speed for the big jumps
these jumps by the road are very susceptible to wind in fact a lot of this park can actually be
affected by wind but what I was not used to is having back wind I like how floaty these ones are
they feel good yo I'm like overshooting these wow they're running faster yo eric what's up
dude those i've never cleared them so easily we had back when didn't we
it's so floaty it's sick
dude that flowed so good
whoa so deep
whoops while you may see a lot of big jumps here since that's what I am filming on
the bike ranch does have a lot of jumps of all sizes so whatever your skill level
I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun here
oh yeah
right attack boost
all right
sick
Eric of Bcpov and Vangirl Yuka were here at the same time as well eric needed a bit of help for
this drop like yeah I typically hit the job a little slower because in order for this
next step up i'd like to land on the higher up on the landing to gain all my speed for the step up
but yeah eric posted his video of today a few months ago if you want to check that out
whoa
okay so I landed a little deep on this on the drop and I did hit the brakes which I should not have
for the step up so I'm going to want to go a little slower than drop
not hit the brakes that should be super good for the step up so I landed a little deep yeah
I should have gone a little slower actually on the drop okay because I bought him the fork out
when I landed I landed like halfway down landing which is more than I should are you sending it
yuka are these ones yes excellent wonderful huh all right let's get it all right Jordan
let's get it all right let's see what we can link up let's go a little slower this time perfect
no brakes perfect whoa that's still bigger whoa okay I need goggles I got all that dust in my eyes
it was it was definitely pretty windy too
nice this one's always kind of funny like going with all the
speed I always feel like I want to hit the brakes but I know I shouldn't okay
whoa that was so sad
nice that's fun
whoa oh [ __ ] that was so freaking sketch that was actually scary like I totally ran
away with it no problem that was so funny dude I was like I just was stuck I did not go back I know
man I'm just a little awkward on those man well I don't know I just I did it awkward
again not as bad as last time but it looked like you were riding big jumps in the wind
right on well the upper half was feeling a bit windy so let's see how the lower half feels
yahoo
yo whoa whoa what happened there
okay those were like that was pretty cool I wrote it so sketchy I was super like yeah a bit sketchy
whoa
yeah biking is kind of cool I guess so let's go biking hit up some tail rider the gh course
they would do some uh races on here before I raced this like long ago pale rider does have a couple
technical sections but otherwise it's actually quite flowy this is the gnarliest stuff that the
kamu spike ranch has to offer you can see that this place is very much geared towards smooth
berms and jumps this can still be a nice change of pace from doing all the jump lines though
oh we missed again
cool
whoa that was awkward
I'm feeling like awkward like I can't style them I don't know why i'll follow you despite the warm-up
that i've got today and riding these trails over and over again something wasn't really clicking
for me for some reason I was just feeling stiffer and not as comfortable as normal oh oh sh oh man
i was like that's always what I'm afraid of doing is exactly that and it happened it's no problem
though you're right yeah it's just every job I'm super like average on I just can't dial them in so
we're nearing the end of the day and there's just enough time for one last session down fistful of
dollars the wind does tend to die down at the end of the day so this would be the time to send it
there's like no wind right now oh yeah sick
that was feeling pretty good he's gonna see if he can do a no foot can here
yo
yeah yeah that was sick
oh the wind
scary so maybe the wind hasn't totally died down yet
and josh is wanting to do a backflip on this step up
oh my gosh dude that was sick it's hard to get speed
dude I'm good
oh friend okay that was scary
yeah it's scary when I forgot what the jump was
I'm supposed to hit the brakes for it I was linking it up too you're sick
yo buddy superman yeah yeah
yo I'm gonna get it dude right
uh
crap man so weird the sun is going down pretty soon here but I still want to link up a full
run without casing anything my friends were all riding so well today I honestly just
felt like I couldn't quite make it click something just wasn't quite right with me
now regardless if I can dial this whole line in or not
it was just a really fun day riding with friends you know you don't always have
to progress it's okay just to have fun because that's what this is really about
oh no
yo I'm stopping yo that was sick though just majorly case that step up now for me making
videos about these adventures is already a job and I honestly can kind of feel a bit pressured to
always want to progress and get better show something new and better to ride
but you know there are times when you just don't need to worry about that
and honestly just enjoy the ride enjoy the good times with friends
I'm not here to become the best rider I'm definitely not and I never will be
my goal with all this is really just to show how much fun mountain biking is and riding
these jumps is so much fun I'm super stoked that my friends are progressing doing some new tricks
and I can admit I also wish I could have done something new and awesome today
the progression will come and I will have better days riding
while today may not have been my best I still had a lot of fun doing it
yo baby
i did it well I connected it all that was what I was going for
I didn't style everything the greatest but you know that's okay
I just gotta get better at them now though get more comfortable whipping it's my first
time taking the maiden out to kamloops you know just about every time if you see all my videos at
kamloops I'm riding my wilson I actually kind of wonder if I did take my wilson today would I feel
more at home but I feel more comfortable hard to say the bikes are actually kind of similar
wesley was busting out more one-footed tables and they were looking so sick
yo sick that was actually a sick run
no way that is so sick
he's killing it aiden finished the day with a sweet no foot can what was even more impressive
is that he was riding clipless pedals that looks amazing he's so sick okay I'm calling on that all
right we went insane I think the scariest part was riding this jump unclipped I was riding my
pedals all right guys that's it for today's video I had a ton of fun today and I hope you guys
