  • From humble beginnings, the North Shore of Vancouver grew into the home a freeride. After some controversy and a chainsaw massacre, it has bounced back and today it's got more woodwork than ever!

      NS trails were built for 26” DH ans free ride bikes. Pedaling to the top of Fromme on a 45 pound DH bike was all you saw. It’ll never be the same. Features were unpaved unlike today. But its still knarly AF. We used to night ride there in mid 2000’s...that’s sketchy.

    I have watched many of your past videos and I really enjoy them very much. But this video Eric I have to say is one of the more interesting ones I've watched. I love the history of the old wooden features that the woods have slowly gobbled up, and comparing it with the evolution of the trails today. Well done as usual. Big fan of your videos. Keep it up :)

      I see this same thing. I don’t necessarily think I’d ride those high skinnies, and I’m off to my first ride down CBC in years. The way trail forks sounds... that trail doesn’t get any love. With all the enduro bikes floating around these days, does it make sense to build or fix something only a handful of people will ride?
