North Shore Woodwork is Alive and Well!

- 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!

At 6:04 I wish they added the IFHT First Time on the North Shore vid
"MOoooOOOOVE" is quite possibly the best line in that video
YBMTB - Trail Building
Lol hi
Honestly thought this was all building up to a massive wooden feature in the badlands 😂😢
He probably came here to get ideas for that very reason
Keep an eye out for it 😉
BCpov a little foreshadowing I see eh
Yeah I skipped almost the whole video looking for the build part
Great story. Really good footage of the features. Thanks for sharing.
Eric: “Back when bikes were short and head angles were steep”
Me: “Laughs on 2005 Santa Cruz”
I had a 2008 santa cruz bullit. pretty much an OTB machine. 😳
2003 stinky here
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.
my 05 cove stiffee was ahead of the game
I can't wait till all this is over and I can finally make my trip out to Whistler/North Shore to experience the MTB mecca for the first time!
Same
@@harryroberts556 don’t do it this year whistler is 65% braking bumps
@@mtb_sendermenzel1779 im in australia anyway so it doesn't matter
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'll never remember the first (and so far only) time I fell in the water on Ladies Only. Middle of February, 6 inches of snow, loooong cold ride home at the end of the ride later lol.
Fell thru the ice into a deep spot behind a beaver dam, used my bike for a ladder to climb out!! By the time I was home, my pants wouldn’t bend from being frozen🥶 thaaad, thanks for bringing back a forgotten memory 😃
I love the documentary style approach for this video, really well done!
I’m so grateful to live in West Van, a 10 minute drive from Fromme.
You did a really really great job with the beginning of this vid! Keep up the good work!
Rad man, I grew up in Rossland in the 90's mountain bike scene... riding with Dave Swetland, Wade Simmons, and Chris Laurence (Kranked days). This style of riding is my pedigree. What a time that was! Thank you for this insanely nostalgic trip down memory lane!
Probably one of my favorite bike videos, great seeing the different types of trails and how bikes have changed over the years.... admit in many areas trails have been overly sanitized in the name of “flow”, one downside of this evolution....we didn’t have tech to loose
The craftsmanship at this park is legendary just a bunch of lads enjoying life and making rad lines
That's me on the skinny roller coaster! (4:04) Awesome video dude!
4:48 the go pro effect really takes place into he goes down
one of the best videos this year , I love the Northshore jank , not so keen on high skinnies , but they way you have to work out the trails to get any sort of flow is such a great challenge , and the forest is such a natural playground that the possibilities are endless
This is one of my favorite bcpov videos so far. Amazing job
Great To See North Shore Up & Running!
AMAZING & SUPERB TRAILS!
I remember those days! Used to do these crazy skinnys as a kid and didn't think anything of it. Times have changed. Great video man, it really took me back!
Defiantly sold me on these trails - excellent video! The wood features look amazing, better than zip-lining through a forest. I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed to you yet - I fixed that just now! Great content :)
Great video Eric, was really nice seeing my home trails and the stuff I love to ride. FYI the North Shore features were also featured in National Geographic and flying circus was I believe on the cover, not sure if I am remembering correctly .
hey! love the videos as always and i really enjoyed learning about the history of the shore, keep up the good work!
I really liked this format. One of the best mountain bike videos I've watched all month. Cheers!
That was really interesting with all the background information and footage - nice job!
Wow I remember watching tons of these videos when I first started riding. Thanks for this!
Excellent video Eric! Love the historical perspective!
I love you guys your such an inspiration I subscribed and put notifications you made me get addicted to mountain biking thank you so much
That was a fun history lesson on north shore features. Great commentary!
cheers to ya guys for taking the sleds down some of that tight stuff, I'm still on 26'ers... am going to mullet my 2015 enduro eventually, and just built up my old 2004 Brodie Holeshot with 2009 Fox Van 36 160mm coil's Ha it was built for that stuff 8) We had some of that fun on the Island back then too. Cheers to the builders!!!
this is now one of my favorite channels
Love north shore videos. This is one of the better ones I’ve seen!
Excellent storytelling...I wish we had this in our backyard!
me too!
so look forward to travelling there next year. great footage
Nice video bcpov the trail looks super fun
Great video Eric, thanks for the history lesson.
I can't wait until I can fly to Canada and get back to BC, to visit my family and ride.
I like that storytelling telling video format !
I live south of Denver Colorado and we have a whole different kind of trails but there is still some north shore inspirations like roller coasters it goes to show that you can take inspiration from any where
A development company was actually building new houses next to a trail that existed next to them. That company came and wrecked those trails up. One to two months later the trails were rebuilt and run 5x better. :)
This is so Dope! Would love to ride these trails. Awesome woodworking too!
Nice crash course for the history of the north shore. I enjoyed it!
Wow awesome stuff. I couldnt ride any of it myself but great video and nice job out there!
Love your all videos and sending lots of best wishes from Nepal 🇳🇵
I love watching North Shore Features!
Hey Eric - this is one of your very best vids.
Natural High had an awesome feature. It was removed to build the Fromme parking lot. It was a 30 ft log ride to a swiveling teeter totter. You got on it and it would turn down and to the right.
You're becoming a really good ride Eric!!!!
Fun! That was a great video.
This looks so fun!
I remember the days of going to the bike shop, buying the new Kranked video back in the 90's. We would rush home to see all the woodwork in the North Shore, then go out to our lame flat trails and try to build something but it never compared the trails like the reeper, dirt merchant and others.
I still have some VHS tapes of those movies in a box somewhere. That was a wild time in mountain biking!
Awesome story! 🌟
Sweet description of the Shore wood work. I still prefer the slow tight North Shore style . The modern fast flow is not the place I want to crash and for me its kind of boring. Great we have both! BTW you were killing it on that wood work!
LOL, that footage of the old MTB with the rack in the back!
I think I remember seeing videos a long time ago that showed off these super high skinnies and features. I remember marveling about how anyone could do that. Now I'm into this sport like crazy and find myself considering (decidedly smaller) versions of these features.
Wow! I have to go try this.
I absolutely loved watching the Froriders (Richie Schley, Brett Tipie, sorry forgot the third guy's name). Those early days of extreme free riding was other worldly.
Great video! Hope the trail building is going well!
Thanks for the history lesson on the shore 👊🤘
9:51 Classic! "This is riding" lol
I laughed so hard XD
The wall rides work it's all about committing
In most cases it is about committing but in this case i dont think they could get enough speed around the corner before it
True
@@lodunes6948 Trust me you can
@@shredbroinc2988 they literally went too slowly to even do the wall ride lool
@@AeneasMacdonaldEdits Haha no kidding 😂😂😂
Yes new vid!
Really enjoyed this one.
Flying circus is fun to walk down and see how it used to be 💯 love my home town the north shore has the most unique riding imo
Nice hopping at 3:20 Eric!
Love that Forbidden Druid, sounds like a Magic The Gathering card lol
Looks like an amazing place to ride :D I dont think we have anything like that in the UK :(
finally! a youtuber other than myself referencing drop in!
5:54 nice reference to your first time riding at the north shore.
I don't know what cameras they're using but, it looks amazing !
*AWESOME CONTENT*
Love it.
Gotta check out copper harbor Michigan sometime ! Not many north shore features really but beautiful flow and tech.
Awesome story! Like watching a movie
I just biked espresso earlier today!
i ride mt seymour all the time its so much fun
I think that you guys should go ride in steamboat springs Colorado!
That is extreme!
You have inspired me
Any idea which runs these are if they? I know its a load of different ones, probably spread out between Cypress / Froome & Seymour but for example I think Espresso on Froome is the one at 4:32
nice stuff.
Wooow really nice trail, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVEE NORT SHOREEEEEE :)
you should use this as inspiration for your track
Have you thought of trying them trails on a old school mountain bike
do they buy tthose nice flat logs or how do you make them?
Does anyone know what the song he used at the end is? It's such a chill vibe.
And that's how the trial extreme game started.
i remember using them vee brakes on those rainy days....
are you going to be putting north shore woodwork in your trail
What type of bike do you have?
What color way is your bike? Doesn’t look brown so not sure
Which trail is the first wall ride on
You should try to get out for a bcpov ride with Super T
I love riding down steep boulders and rocky boulders n shit they r soo fun
Is this a hint to what he’s building now?
I saw you that day on Mt Seymour ! As I can see you didnt get the chance to see the best stuff :p
Michelle Beerer what did he miss?
I’m surprised that the police got involved with something as simple as this out in the woods, it’s like I’m sure they have more important things to do
What’s the first trail he rode?
7:29 why did they make a corner before?
The old days of 26ers and 500-600mm front bars
I wonder, is it time to rebuild that trail? And make that wooden feature rideable again?
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?
