Watch to the end for my speedrun trying to link each and every feature on the trail. Big thanks to the trail builder, Fraser, for the countless hours he put into creating this masterpiece. Check out his IG channel to see more of his work: instagram.com/frasermstepanick/
5 months. I worked throughout the fall and early winter took a break for snow then worked on it for another three weeks to finish up the big guy at the bottom. Thanks bud
Damn Dave, that's some seriously impressive Skinny Skills you got there, great riding. Such slow speed, almost no speed balancing on stuff that looks to not be wider than 4" in most places and a fair bit off the ground.
I LOVE seeing these side views! Really gives me a sense of scale. Also, you have some of the best helmet cam footage of anyone. So stable and focused and you rarely look down so we can always see where you’re headed. I really applaud you for that.
Hahaha.....random trail, full of debris, no clear line....."Hey DD/DS, looks like a good film location!". In his best James Bond voice, "The name's DD, Trial Rider DD and this, is my crew of Shred Mates. We're here to drink Red Bull and kick tech trail butt, and the Red Bull cans are already crushed!". Such a sick trail run, nice!
The craziest thing about this is that this line would be a warm up for some of the old shore free ride lines. like the flying circus or the reaper. So sick that old school free ride lives on
The only thing that impresses me more than the features is your positive attitude and grace while retrying the hard parts. I want to be more like Dave!
Wow this one mustve been really tough! I dont think ive seen this many wipe outs in a DD video yet. Also, watching him hop along the tiny logs is both hilarious and nerve wracking!!
trail is build for the 0.001% (or less) of mountainbikers who have mad trial-skills and also mastered skinnies to perfection. amazing riding, dave! you have my deepest of respect!
NORTH SHORE EXTREME "skinny dreams".... Awesome to see your still the master of skinny stunts. Funny thing is today I found your channel and 2 days ago I found Brett tippies pod cast channel. Been 20 years since I followed you guys. Must be a good reason to buy a new bike and get my old broken body back on mountain bikes.
Skinnyest skinny I've ever ridden was about a foot wide, I think I fell off too, the twigs your managing to stay on the centre of are madness! Great riding as usual Dave!
This is some top knotch riding. It's fantastic to see a second hand persepective also. i've been binging your vids, and I totally enjoy what you're putting out.
I always exhausted from watching your videos. Just came across your channel and it is unbelievable content. Thanks for doing such a great job with the different camera perspectives, editing, etc. Stay safe (somewhat :)).
You guys are impressive, i wish i had a good mountain bike back in the 70's and 80's but they didn't have em back then. I would have liked to do the course like you guys are doing. Word of advice, enjoy every moment while you can. Cause when ya get old you lost it all.
I'm not a mountain biker but I was riding my horse on a trail through a clearcut and got bucked off and landed in a brush pile hiding a stump underneath; had to walk down the mountain after since my horse had been kicked by another horse (hence the bucking) and I didn't want to risk putting weight on him. My pelvis has never been the same since, hahaha. I winced at every fail and those terrifying stumps, hahaha.
First, love all the b-roll shots to give perspective. Second, amazing composure and skill Dave! Third, I wish more places would build stuff like this. I feel like skinnies are getting harder to come by (well at least around me), especially at this difficulty level. Forth, thank you for including the fails.
Well dangerous Dave I think you and your buddies must have had a few beverages after that outing. Bloody good attempt to complete top to bottom. Well done 👍. Loving the Carm quite approach with a little inside giggling hear and there. Great videos
Psyched yourself out of that one... There used to be a trail at Mabie Forest in Scotland called the Kona Darkside that had 90degree skinnys (just wider than your tyre) about 5ft off the ground, very challenging.
I hate skinnies great skills dave dont be fooled by the unnecessary risk of making trails up in the sky just to prove something it doesnt take much to fu up and land on your head .
Dave you're such a talented rider and so entertaining to watch. Often we ask ourselves, htf did he do that? How about some instructional/tutorial type videos to help teach us how you approach things? Either way, keep it up! Ride safe

At that point, is there really a difference between mountain biking and trials riding? Absolutely incredible riding Dave!
No
Mountain biking is great because it covers so many different skills into one sport
A true old school north shore trail that looks like an absolute blast im glad to see they are still out there i miss those old trails
Some of those features are crazy, I'd have trouble walking on them, props to you for cleaning them.
Can not even begin to imagine how many hours of work went into this. Crazy workmanship and a crazy looking trail
5 months.
I worked throughout the fall and early winter took a break for snow then worked on it for another three weeks to finish up the big guy at the bottom. Thanks bud
@@gardengirlbc can you ride it from top to bottom? Such a cool build.

Fraser is a legend, and his trails are bonkers.
haha!! Thanks man, im still going at it back there

Mountain Trials .. the newest mountain biking genre. You are incredible to watch man!!!
The craziest thing about this is that this line would be a warm up for some of the old shore free ride lines. like the flying circus or the reaper. So sick that old school free ride lives on

Quite possibly the greatest display of skinny skills ever on RUclips. Dude you are an inspiration!
Thank you for not editing out your falls. That makes us beginners feel better. I fell on a green trail (It was my very first trail ride).
This is the most Dave trail I've ever seen
the amount of control you have over your bike is incredible
Wow this one mustve been really tough! I dont think ive seen this many wipe outs in a DD video yet. Also, watching him hop along the tiny logs is both hilarious and nerve wracking!!

Absolute insanity! I can’t even imagine doing those skinnies. Props to you, keep riding!
This reminds me of mtb in 1999 and its freaking rad!!
NORTH SHORE EXTREME
"skinny dreams"....
Awesome to see your still the master of skinny stunts.

Been 20 years since I followed you guys. Must be a good reason to buy a new bike and get my old broken body back on mountain bikes.
No jealousy, just encouragement.
Great to see!
this is trail baguette mastery!!! Both building and riding
thanks man.
Nice work Dave!
Fraser's trails are nuts
thanks bud, lots of opportunities still to be had out there
That is a crazy hard skinny track where even bailing can end badly. Nice riding man!
Skinnyest skinny I've ever ridden was about a foot wide, I think I fell off too, the twigs your managing to stay on the centre of are madness! Great riding as usual Dave!
This is some top knotch riding. It's fantastic to see a second hand persepective also. i've been binging your vids, and I totally enjoy what you're putting out.
Incredible. I love the laughs when things didn't go just right.
Wow the intense. Those are some intense skinnies
This trail is nuts
Holy crap! I was gripped from start to end watching this! Amazing what you guys can do on bikes.
At this moment, I am thinking that is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen!
I always exhausted from watching your videos. Just came across your channel and it is unbelievable content. Thanks for doing such a great job with the different camera perspectives, editing, etc. Stay safe (somewhat :)).
Less a trail and more an obstacle course. That is crazy.
Wow, that trail is bonkers!
thanks bud, lots of space to work with out there.
Wow man. Your riding skills are completely out of this world, you are crazy good. Respect!
“Bill, we cut it too short”
Bill: “leave it”
Some of these skinnies look as this as handrails!
3 inches wide some of them
Wow. This is mesmerizing! Amazing stuff!
That was one of the craziest rides I have ever watched. Massive skills Dave
This must've been quite the show to see in person! I can't even imagine what that's like to ride! 💯
Only two words that I can think of are radical and hardline.
ill make it harder next time lol
You guys are impressive, i wish i had a good mountain bike back in the 70's and 80's but they didn't have em back then. I would have liked to do the course like you guys are doing. Word of advice, enjoy every moment while you can. Cause when ya get old you lost it all.
Incredible trail building and even more incredible riding skills. Just wow!!!!
You win!! Best MTB video of 2022
Crazy balance and control.
Sick riding, as always!!
this man is more skilled on a bike than i am on my own feet
Wow you were not kidding,"Alot of sharp objects!". Hard to believe you rode skinny after thoughts.Peace and stay safe

That’s some GOOOOOOOOOD video right there! MAKE EM FEEL SOMETHING and you’re doing it right.
Finally took off the training wheels?
Awesome riding my dude
OMG the amount of nearby super sharp bits is pretty terrifying.
Yeah, I couldn’t stop thinking about that either.
Well dangerous Dave I think you and your buddies must have had a few beverages after that outing. Bloody good attempt to complete top to bottom. Well done 👍. Loving the Carm quite approach with a little inside giggling hear and there. Great videos
Those skinny’s gave me anxiety! Looks fun!😂
Amazing and inspireing!
I just subscribed, just for your laughs. Awesome riding but I connect more with the laughing. Thanks!
Sik riding dude, I realized I had forgotten to breath while you were riding some of those skinnies! Truly frightening!
Incredibly fun to watch! You're killing it!
Nice effort 👌 keeping that bike on those skinnys looks so tricky. I take my hat of to you Dave.. well done.
Psyched yourself out of that one... There used to be a trail at Mabie Forest in Scotland called the Kona Darkside that had 90degree skinnys (just wider than your tyre) about 5ft off the ground, very challenging.
that slip out at the end broke my heart. you'll get it next time
I bow to your greatness…
it's stressful to watch, fair play to you. incredible riding and commitment 👏
Soo much talent here , crazy 😘👌 insane steep skinny line you ride there !
Technical masterpiece!
You saved the bike on most of those get-offs. Nice work!
The skill leveling is excellent. Also like that you include mistakes.
I hate skinnies great skills dave dont be fooled by the unnecessary risk of making trails up in the sky just to prove something it doesnt take much to fu up and land on your head .
That was incredible!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thats some good balance!
Incredible! I can't even do a skinny that's 5 times wider than my tires yet :)
Absolutely Bonkers! Mad props, my dude! that got my subscribe right there!
You have some serious skinny skills. I was getting anxiety just watching you. 👍🇨🇦
You are amazing my friend,i wish that I have the 50% of your skills !!the only common that we have,is the NORCO bike 😅!! Greetings from
Greece 🇬🇷
my mind cant even make sense of these skinnies. insane riding.
How can someone look at that pile of logs and tree peices an make a course out of it? And how can you look at that and say "yep, I can do that"? 😅😁
thanks man, its easy once you go and look around
Dave you're such a talented rider and so entertaining to watch. Often we ask ourselves, htf did he do that? How about some instructional/tutorial type videos to help teach us how you approach things? Either way, keep it up! Ride safe
Nice work!
Just amazing. I need to practice!
That's insane Dave. 🤘👊
Awesome trail and awesome riding!
This guy is a stud
Fair play to the man that was some riding
Such a lovely Canadian forest. The land manager is doing a great job.
At no point was the trail skinnier than his tiers but he got me to watch
Beautiful!
What a diabolical work of art.
thanks bud, I only put my back out twice making this trail lol
So close Dave but hey it’s not the end of the world there’s a lot of time to do perfect it!!! Wohooo

Good balance !
Awesomeness Dave!!!
