    Should I do a ski video with Mike Douglas?

  • @justsayin3600
    @justsayin3600 4 года назад +23

    That was a great explanation, to ride like you have no chain! About a month ago I was riding in a remote location and completely destroyed my; chain, derailleur and bent my cassette, a big-long rock went into my rear wheel spokes, behind my derailleur. I zip tied my chain to the bike. I had to walk my bike back. On the downhill parts I just had to not get on the brakes in places I normally would. Then places I would have had to pedal I didn't. My adrenaline was pumping and I had to be super focused and efficient but the feeling of riding with no chain was weird. I never thought to purposely ride like that. I'm definitely going to remember to ride like that from now on.👍 #ridelikeremy

    Cool. I did my first Mountain Bike race in Whistler around 1987....Funny I got into mtb to get in shape for ice hockey and skiing....Have not stopped since. Well the ice hockey part...just a div 1 hockey beer league guy...ha ha... I think I am a year younger than Mike...Not always easy...when you get older but you have to keep going.... Skate...Climb....Ski...bike..Ice Hockey...Jagr is still a pro hockey player....So why not? Tony Hawk is still givnr.

    Correction the first twin tip ski was not the salomon 1080 it was actually developed by Jason Leventhal who created Line skis. He was the first person to come up with the "ski-board" which was basically a tiny snowboard for each foot(ski blades). From that he created the first twin tip ski etc. So salomon was not the first, it was big papi J Lev. He has a new company called J Skis and they make great skis and I've had the pleasure of owning a couple pairs. Anyways cool video tho!!

    • @remymetailler
      @remymetailler  4 года назад

      Thanks for the update! I think Mike meant the first Twin Tip for Salamon

    • @mikedouglas_
      @mikedouglas_ 4 года назад +2

      Sorry, this is not true. Line was making ski boards when the first Teneighties were on our feet. Kris Ostness was still on K2 at that time. The Ostness Dragon came out the following season. If you want to get technical... the first known twin tip ski came out in 1953. Several different versions of twin tips came an went during the following decades before k2 released the Poacher in 1996. I refer to the Teneighty as the first high-performance twin tip ski because it was the first one that skied well and that you could land big jumps on.

    Remi, another great video on an awesome trail and some absolutely perfect advice on riding there in the middle - I'm not the fastest, but always am amazed when riding with others how many don't look far enough ahead and use the terrain for speed, I'll be feehweeling and people are pedaling.
    Curious if that was just straight up Business Time or what the loop was to get there? Building up a list of trails and loops for when I visit Whistler and this one definitely looks so fun.

    What is your opinion on gearbox bikes? You talked about putting the chain in the middle of the cassette. Theoretically, with a gearbox, you can instantly shift. Suspension performance in the rear is supposedly better.
