Man this is awesome! Watching Leech, Bourdon, and the rest of the gang ride this stuff is what showed me there was a world outside of walmart bikes. Got my first decent full sus in middle school and built some stuff like this in the woods behind my house. If I lived around that stuff id be working my ass off to keep it up and add to it. THAT type of riding makes you an awesome rider. Nothing improved my ability more than riding skinnies. Now its all about berms and flow. I live in WNC and need to try and build some stuff up around here. I miss those days.
I swear we went on the exact same road trip at around the same time. From the 9th the 13th I rode the new Steve Smith bike park in Nanaimo, Cumberland, Mt. Washington, Powell River, CGP, and B&K. I didn't get much footage, so I'm happy to relive it through yours!
Last time I went there in 2015 it was all still rideable but was starting to fade. Sad to see it going, was challenging but relatively low consequence for the most part... I like stuff like that, not a fan of high off the ground where a fall = high chance of broken bones.
It's so eerie in those woods, I would be in there enjoying the deathly silence. Maybe because its raw audio, it was intense to watch too, maybe because of th discombombulator or the turning teeter totter?
Hey brother, love your videos! Just wondering what you shoot in because the footage you're getting is unreal! are you doing 2.4K Wide? or 1080P superview? thanks in advance
I rode that trail like 7 years ago, it was so cool!
It's great isn't it! Such a classic.
Make that 11 now!
This trail is my worst nightmare... I'm not so hot on the skinny stuff...especially with how long modern bikes are! Much respect haha
+The Loam Ranger I've got kind of a weird fascination with this stuff. It's basically circus stunts in the forest
i went to check it out that summer as well . great to see someone riding the trail.

Yeah, I kinda miss those old stunts as well. I do like the new school flow stuff, but these skinnies definitely keep you honest.
Hell yea. Im a sunshine coast local and thats a fun trail, you killed it
You guys have got some fantastic trails over there!
Ya I’m from the sushine coast and love the bnk

Nice! That's a fantastic lap.
quite stunning
Nice capture, regardless of the trail condition. Gonna have to try this when we get back to BC in the fall.
You guys are going to have a great time on the Sunshine coast. Check out the quarry lake on Texada Island.
Hell yeah! I've been subbed n waiting for your coast ride, handled those stunts no problem!
Thanks!
You, my friend are the skinnies master!!
Haha, i think that might be Ryan Leech, but I'll take it :)
I saw the thumbnail out of the corner of my eye and I could have sworn it said "Stunning Cunts" THAT was a hell of a moment!
+Tanner Stolt haha! I think someone on Reddit had the same moment
Shame it's falling apart. Great riding from both of you. I would have walked most of that. 😳
Yeah, it's a bit sad. Fingers crossed someone finds some time to fix it up!
Come to Sunshine Coast Australia and all the trails are to dry and stuffed up we envy this Sunshine Coast in bc haha

Yup.. the higher it gets the more nervous I get. Same width but close to the ground, no problem.
I have so much trouble with the turns on skinnies. Going wide enough to keep the rear wheel from falling off is hard.
In a lot of cases on this trail you have to hop your rear wheel to get around.
Impressive skinny riding. I was there in the summer as well and disappointed by the state of those stunts.
+JM Rides Trail hopefully it gets refreshed!

Turning teeters are always scary as hell! at least that one wasn't so bad..

Hey David, I shoot in 4k super
Nice skinny skills!
Thanks! I've definitely fallen off a few in my day.
Oh hey, you upped your thumbnail game. Yeah, I noticed ;)
:) My thumbnail game needs upping!
No trail builders maintaining her ?
I guess not. :( This kind of trail has fallen out of style unfortunately.
Hopefully, folks like you reminding people how awesome they are will get people back out on them!
That trail is a broken wrist waiting to happen
It might be one of the reasons why this style of trail isn't popular anymore.
I feel modern flow trails are way more dangerous riding at high speeds.
Trevor May I dont understand why they keep making flow trails when everybody I've seen online wants more steep and chunky terrain
Agree. Anecdotally, the Whistler Bike Park patrollers I talk to say they pull more bad injuries off the jump trails than the tech.
Now go ride Flying Circus.
+Grey Holm i wish it was still ridable. I should go for a walk and see what i can find.
take a day or more off man , fix it all with a group of friends:) , would b a shame if it went unattended
+bigbadcrazykillahbee id love to! Unfortunately i have to take a ferry to get to this trail!
I read Stunning C....
You rode progression...
+Dankmaster420spice 69spiceington maybe it'll come full circle and become popular again
well the fuck done...
Thanks Pit Duck! All those bridges were getting pretty sketchy!
Some day all that dorky shit will rot into the forest. I'll be sure to miss that one when I'm up there...funny name though.
It's well on its way. It's definitely kind of dorky, but I'm a bit dorky as well. ;)
Good vid 👍👍
Might you have a quick look on our video and also let me know what you think as I believe you have got an eye for it
