nice
so there's a drop after this
cypress mountain is definitely the gnarliest of the three north shore mountains
this is a place you want to take your dh bike out to if you have one
shuttling is so much fun out here yeah downhill bikes are so fun
but to make things even sketchier it's raining right now so I'm not really sure what to
expect I've actually put on the manitou revox shock that was originally on my boostmonster
since I put the fox van r on that bike I at least want to try out the shock more and see
what I think of it if you're wondering my rocky mountain maiden is still in pieces I
changed the bearings on it and I'm vinyl wrapping the frame right now I'm kind of taking my time
but my devinci wilson should be a blast out here so we've got a good crew of guys today josh kyle
curtis and cole kyle is from ontario and he's here on a trip just to ride a ton
of north shore trails I actually rode a few days with him and he was awesome to ride with it was
such a hoot so I actually didn't even record our first run which I ended up regretting
I just thought well it's a warm-up run and we're doing lots of runs today anyways
well it turns out it was so epic and so gnarly already I really wish I got on camera
but don't worry we rode them again for our third run so you'll get to see how sick those trails
were ready for some wood sure we'll go run some uh dirty harry oh yeah I never real dirty harry
get it curt
let's try out dirty harry
oh [ __ ]
that's a butt pucker of a freaking filter that's pretty sweet I love it
riding these for the first time in the wet was definitely an experience they seemed difficult
enough as it is in good conditions so in the wet it was just ridiculous this is so sick here we go
here we go check this out
no no ah that was lame that was goofy
crap shoot
yo what's uh is there a drop after this yeah it's not bad
so there's a drop after this should be chill let's just stay
that's goofy
oh what the heck what the I just bottomed out what was that oh my goodness I should have gone slower
yo
oh this is so sweet
whoo what a trail yeah I don't like this one you don't hate this corner josh no no no no no
everyone's getting rowdy all right let's see what we've got
oh that is rowdy that's really rowdy
okay couldn't quite do that
that's rowdy stuff
oh man yeah okay we're gonna go do some trunk monkey cool yeah that'd be sick this place is
so addictive yeah so good dude yeah this will be a new one for me too let's try out trunk monkey
oh
oh sickness okay
whoa that's sketch
buddy that's so sketchy that is yo
oh my goodness oh we got uh yeah okay yeah this is uh not a good place to stop I wonder if that
woods rideable probably not no it's gonna be way too scary with the chicken wire still looks
sketch are you sure that's gonna be fine oh my goodness this is so sketchy all right that worked
yes
oh boy oh my goodness a little different from what you used yeah
yo are you kidding me that could have been bad
sorry man this is sketch my arms are just like tired
are you kidding me what the heck the steep wet rock and wood is not my forte
but you know what this is how you really improve get uncomfortable
sketch yourself out push yourself into things that you don't normally ride and
after a day of this you really feel like you've improved go to middle finger breaking right now
there we go yeah so sick had a little digger up there but nice work guys
right on dude hold on it's a crazy day to do some of these for the first time I can't
wait to come back to these trails when it's good conditions now and just ride them so much better
so I'm sure a number of you guys are familiar with the brutus gap
it's a good sized road gap and cole wanted to hit it for the first time today i've also been
really interested in hitting this for quite some time ever since I first saw it and my friend ben
sent it cased it kind of hurt himself dude oh no okay okay okay good oh you smacked that stump
so let's see how cole does it for his first time
oh no
that was way too slow
that did not sound good yeah he just nutted himself he needs a minute
I sacked myself so hard yeah yeah ankles are a little sore but than that
i'll retreat in a few seconds when you came down you're both your legs were shaking
it just sounded bad on your bike too yeah on my bike are the chain looks like yeah there's a chain
oh that's nothing it's not a bad big deal it's just oh I thought the bike was broken
no no it's okay as long as the bike's not broken you're right it's like stiff
oh it's funny that must have been where it's smacked down
it's funny because i've never actually seen anyone successfully land this in person
personally I think I'm just gonna wait for a nicer day before I go and hit this
well cole got back on his feet the sun's coming out the rain stopped and we're
on our third lap of the day this time we're gonna ride the same trails as our first run
that I didn't get on film because they're so sick and I really wanted to show you these
roach clip and roach hit are so much fun to get to roach clip we first got to ride a few
blue trails though they don't really look like blues but this is cypress mountain this is what
you get and I can already tell it's not quite as wet anymore as it was in the beginning of the day
nice
man these wet roots I tell you I definitely want to get better at riding them though
you
just the sketchiest roots ever
freaking weird you saw black forest ham had roots yeah you're ripping bro thanks
you may notice my camera angle looks a bit different today and that's because
I put it under my visor instead of using the traditional chin mount
the reason for that is it's much less likely to get splashed with water in these wetter conditions
otherwise I do have to say I do prefer that under the chin mount what do you guys think
that's so annoying I love it I got to get you guys to come to quebec it's so fun yeah I do
want to ride quebec too dude i'd love to show you around if you go out yeah oh yeah
oh my goodness these roots relentless sun's out oh it's so beautiful
okay that was a little sketch
i was so out of my element it almost felt like I was learning how to ride for the first time
right on yo
okay this is that sketchy shoot like on the left oh this is the monsoon and shoot yeah
nope
yeah nice sick dude yeah yeah
that was pretty sick that was just single black diamond
I feel like if I can get like really strong hands i'd be doing so much better I gotta ride
like whistler that'll get me strong yeah yeah or come right here more yeah yeah true roach hit it
okay so this is a double black
so honestly I think this is equally as difficult as what we just rode though
that's so sick oh yes that's feeling good
oh yeah and we've got our little drop here
that's good I'm just gonna try rolling it
right on that worked
you guys go right here eh pretty much just straight
down you've done worse than this already today really yeah oh yeah
nice oh yeah dude thanks yeah dude
nice
oh yes there we go
here's the fun part oh these jumps are sick
oh
yo that's so funny
that last jump is hilarious though cause they're so like steep and goofy
that's such a good finish so freaking good and then it was just blue skies classic bc weather
just can't make up its mind we decided to finish our day on the east side trails which are a lot
less janky and much higher speeds this will be a breeze compared to what we just rode
that was sketch
yeah freaking send it
that's so good that's super sick dude so sick
whoa
oh I legitimately feel like a better rider
compared to the last time you're out here it's funny because the last time I wrote here was
just three weeks earlier the conditions were a lot better at that point but I can really tell
i've gotten better at these trails I'm riding with more confidence even in these sketchy conditions
yes that was like the first time i've ever heard the jump I can't wait to come back here again as
things dry up now and I'm really thinking cyprus mountain could be a lot of fun on my boost monster
I was just doing some shuttling with it last weekend so I got some sweet
footage to show you there but I think cypress mountain will be the next place I take it to
i think it's rowdy huh oh wow
it's hilarious
oh
whoa I love following you man you're doing great thanks dude flying
oh
oh it's sick this is so sick
oh crap
oh my goodness that was so sick that was good that was so sick a little bit of uh expedition
to get there yeah seriously that was an absolutely epic day of riding all of the weather all over the
gnar some of the sickest trails in the world and I can't wait to get more experience at these and
like I was saying I can't wait to see what my boost monster feels like on these trails thank
