    The dedication when you pulled off that feature and then immediately wanted to hit it again. That's the real mountain biking spirit, bro!

    I built some of that bridge and skinny you rode at 4:58. It’s awesome to see a first timer’s perspective of the trails where I learned to ride! You did a few lines I’ve yet to try yet

    As a film maker, I’m going out on a limb here. This channel is leaps and bounds above any other mtb channel in terms of story telling and editing.
    Alex, you deserve everything you’ve gotten. Cheers brah🫡

    Man you thank us for watching but thank you for sharing your adventures. I'm limited to how much I can ride at the moment and after watching your videos I feel the mental freedom that I get when I go for an adventure ride. So thank you for what you do.

    What a trip down memory lane-thank you for bringing this back to me. I took a BC trip with my homies back in 2018, and we hit most of these Squamish trails. In all honesty you guys rode amazingly well where we balked on a lot of the most sketchy stuff. Two things in your video had me smiling extra huge. First, your enthusiasm was so infectious-had me wanting to book a flight with my bike tomorrow! Second, your filming today was next level. On and off the bike, you captured the essence of this playground so well. I don’t even know how you got that follow sequence of Rex-it was so smooooth! Finally, mad props for your commitment and skill this week. I think you’re ready to ride with Remy!

    • @The_Sampler
      @The_Sampler  5 месяцев назад +1

      Wow thank you for all the kind words my man! That follow shot I was on foot with the camera in my hand following him!! Turned out so fun

  • @josephkornman6303
    @josephkornman6303 5 месяцев назад +4

    I live in Squamish and it was cool seeing an outsider perspective of trails I probably take for granted. Especially when you said how lucky people are that live here... I had to take a pause as it really did remind me of how lucky I am to live here. Solid day and effort put in too by the way. Some of those slab lines are legit when you're perched on the top of them looking down!

  • @djjosseppe
    @djjosseppe 5 месяцев назад +17

    If anyone “poo poo’s” the laps you guys did…they can pound salt! I ride this stuff on the daily, and if you are not accustomed to the terrain, it’s super intimidating. I have toured friends (really solid riders) around those trials, and there have been lots of close call, crashes, and walkers. Well done, let me know do you want to explore a little more off the beaten path, there’s some beauty trails out there. Most people would have been satiated after Gouranga, I like that you guys took one more short lap to Dirks. That’s a solid day.

    • @jasonwolfe9934
      @jasonwolfe9934 5 месяцев назад

      Totally agree. Doing it on the regular is one thing when it is your backyard (like when I do these trails tomorrow). Doing it first time on things like Bearly Adequate is awesome. Well done

  • @lindaappleby6586
    @lindaappleby6586 4 месяца назад

    I just got back from a Whistler trip and while we were up there we rode Alice Lake and Diamond Head. Everyone in our group left the trip talking about how good Squamish was. It was unbelieveable. Half Nelson was seriously the best flow trail I've ever ridden. Personally I'm a tech guy so the Alice Lake trails were more fun to me, but I'm pretty sure the next trip we plan up there we might just spend a week in Squamish and only a couple days in Whistler.

    • @chasingepic

    These types of trails are like the pinnacle of mtb trails IMO. Such a cool combo of features linked together with tech, flow, and jumps (and gorgeous scenery). You really need to be well-rounded rider to nail these lines. It's a dreamy place to ride for sure

  • @SilverFlame819
    @SilverFlame819 5 месяцев назад

    We used to have really cool trails like this that were created by some random bike dudes in my area when I was young. They were not public, they were hidden down off the side of the bridge. You could drive past them and never know they were there because of the tree coverage. I tried one of the trails once when I was like 10 or so... I still remember catching air on a jump I didn't realize would be so big. Exhilarating, but terrifying. I'm two minutes into this video, and like - Welp. I was right, this is not the sport for me. 10-year-old me was right. XD Beautiful scenery though!
