    Massive thanks to Mountain Bike Quebec and Quebec City for sponsoring this trip and video!
    It's time for the epic grand finale of my Quebec City MTB Adventure, and I can't think of a more fitting place than the famously gnarly Mont Sainte Anne. As I mention in this video, MSA got hit particularly hard by the heavy rain in the last few weeks, so for my visit there were a whopping 3 trails open: a green, a black diamond and a double black! Wish me luck... ]

    "We're doing alright guys".....Don't worry the worst is yet to come aha...That Greg Minnaar section and the following chute on the slab to the north shore bridge took me years to nail. The 1837 is one of our DH gem in Quebec, you did great brother

  • @stevencole7331
    @stevencole7331 10 месяцев назад +1

    Must remember Frank is on an extreme modern downhill bike with lots of travel while Alex is on a older trail bike so basically with Alex's handicap was right with Frank on the double blacks and may have had a slight edge . Like comparing a hardtails handicap to a full suspension trail bike

    Also note besides the bike, that Frank goes full face and chest protector. I never understood the pushback on safety gear, but nobody get's hurt without and says "yeah, totally worth it".

    Mount sainte-anne was one of the first parks i ever got to ride. Lets just say as a newer rider at the time, it was a very very rude awakening into how poor my skill level actually was, it was just so much harder and beyond steeper then anything in any of the other eastern provinces

  • @erents1

    I love your videos! I started riding single tract in the Appalachian Mountains back in 1977 on a touring bike. I rode from there to Hawaii then back to California where I started mountain biking in Tahoe in 1985 and have done it nearly everyday since. The trails in the Sierra are sometimes rocky but mostly rideable, few roots, mostly long smooth single track. But I recently started riding outside of Santa Barbara and I was shocked to find trails at lower elevations that I just can’t ride! Some more difficult than trails I’ve ridden in Colorado, Alaska and Jasper, many roots and many rocks, steep and twisted! Hale on! Pura Vida!

    if you are ever in Quebec again, i think the 2.5h drive down to Bromont in the Eastern Townships is worthwhile. Bromont has a downhill bike park, some gnarly enduro trails, some flowy blue green for the whole family, and even an indoor velodrome, a BMX track, dirt jumps, and trick booter etc! also currently in the process of building an indoor skatepark kind of deal made specifically for bikes

      When you think about it, a week a riding here will cost about 200$ in tickets, but 1500$ in restaurants and lodging. So it really bring money in.
      RUclipsrs are a really good way for targeted marketing at a cheap price, while putting smile on their face and the people they encounter that follow them.
