- Continuing down the mountain we next stumble upon Meat Draw, and wow is it a keeper! The lighting may be a bit harsh and we may have been on a vacation-faff pace rather than a race pace, but this one is too fun to ignore. Haven't seen many videos of this one before and it easily made my top 3 for the whole trip. Hope you enjoy!

Way more difficult than I need. Flow please
Oh gawd no, please, if no one built another flow trail I'd be happy - keep the old school/jank trails alive ;-)
I like riding flow. Most people probably do. But, the janky tech stuff is kinda the foundation of MTB and really makes you use every bit of your body mechanics and problem solving skills on the bike. It’s all good to me and these types of videos are gold in the age of redbull rocket launch air contests. (Also gnarly!)
@@jeremyprovonsil7886 I can’t take anymore big crashes on the hairy jank trails so vids like this let me live vicariously through these riders while I cruise on mellow flow!
@@maxchan30 Whatever gets your wheels spinning.....just get out and get some! 👍🏽
I agree that I’d rather look at trails from the top - once I’m at the bottom it seems much more intimidating! Great riding 🤘
Agreed. The combination of Chainsaw Ridge, Upper Meat Draw and Meat Draw was a highlight of my visit to the Nanaimo/Benson area. Some great raw tech.
Coming here after Remy's upload of this trail yesterday. Wow. Seeing your pov as one of my favorite riders to watch and that I consider to be one of the better riders that I watch on tech trails, it is wild to see how talented Remy really is and how gnarly this trail is!
Yep, keeping in mind that I had to scout my own lines and wasn't following a trustworthy local! 🙂
The fact that you are so cool with the fact that you meet run into a bear at any point is astonishing. I would feel comfortable only with an RPG in my back 😝
Black bears are just fat deer. 🙈
Man the things us mountain bikers ride most people wouldn’t even think of hiking let alone mountain bike. Always a pleasure watching your videos cheers !
Trails like this SCREAM "Dale Stone".
The kind of trail where it's easy to get into trouble! Fast and tech combo.
"No KOMs on vacation" come for the tech and line choice, stay for the legit life lessons.
🧠📈
THE MANUAL DING (@11:06). Dale, I'm stealing that killer trick. Awesome, possum.
Patent Pending™.
you'll get credit, but there's no way I'm not using that all the time
You should come back to Nanaimo again for the alot longer Lower Meat Draw. New and improved, much longer and leads right into another great trail.
I would love to! Benson has some of my favourite riding on the island. Glad to hear it's getting even better. 😀
So true that trails look steeper/scarier from the bottom - and , for me, they look scary enough from the top!
Nice riding as usual. Good on for Alistair to be game to accompany you on these very challenging trails! He’s obviously embraced the double black ethos!
Never an adventure too scary these days, it's great to see!
The rock spine has to be my favourite feature on this one. Hell of a line.
Looks like a rock climbing line, rides like a concrete skatepark. So cool!
Another great looking trail, really love the old school natural trails. Agreed, that a lot of the times if you hike down to look up at a feature, sometimes you don't ride it because it looks so big vs just checking it from atop. Think that last trail, Gravitron was one of Stevie Smiths favourites. Seems like you had an awesome vaca.
Loving the videos from places other than the shore. Love the shore videos as well but it’s good to have some change in style of trail. Nice one!
I love exploring new trails too. It's a distinctly different (slower) style of video, but I hope to make a lot more of them!
I'm sure like many here...I've randomly found your channel.... Absolutely fantastic footage....Killer riding....and nice to see an Ontario boy ripping it up out West. Your videos are super inspiring to want to get out and experience ALL the trails here in Canada! Cheers brother
I rode this trail in literally knee deep snow years ago haha
That sounds exceptionally spicy, jesus!
I watched that a month ago actually! Looks super rad. In the summer is it easy-ish to follow from the lake up top?
Thanks for showcasing my home trails! come back anytime
Would love to, anything else I missed on Benson? Uter vid coming soon...
@@DaleStone there is a new meat draw that is a bit hidden which is great. Upper meadows into upper gatekeeper, kid gorgeous are great. I'd say they're all good but I'm a bit biased.
I know there's alot of building happening there as well right now.
OLD TITLE " MEAT DRAW IS A SPICY TRAIL IVE NEVER HEARD OF" YOU WILL NEVER FOOL ME
brakeless Kyle favourite Kyle
@@DaleStone dale stone favourite dale ( dosent rhyme *sad face*)
Still on the island? I should try to get an autograph haha
Loving these super techy vids, had no idea this stuff existed here
Back home now, but certainly itching to return! 🙂
Video looks fantastic. What camera and gimbal are you using? 60fps looks great.
Edit: NVM, looks like you’re using a chin-mount.
No gimbal, just a hero 8!
Every day I wonder why you and your bike aren't severely broken yet from all these crazy trails lol.
The bike is always minorly in need of repair, as is the ol' body without crashing... 🙈
Your video is SOOOO clear and smooooth. What settings you shooting in? ..... I have an older Hero4 (I know, I plan to get a more updated GP soon lol) and trying to get the most out of it and wondering if I can get any better footage than I get. I'm a total beginner with videoing this stuff. lol
2.7k60 is all I really know!
Sick trails! Rode it like a champ like usual! But those gloves are sick! I need a pair! Lol what brand are they?!
Handup. They look amazing but have the reliability of a soggy slice of bread. 🙃
Hahaha ok you've just saved me 30$💵😂😂👌
You'd need a dictionary for the swear words I'd be letting out if I was narrating and riding these trails, jank is the biggest understatement. Great riding and feeling well underskilled, I'm going back to my bike room now, I need to oil my chain.
I’m currently riding a specialized demo 8 but I’m looking for something that’s a bit more versatile would you say the specialized stump jumper is some what similar to the norco sight ?
Probably the Evo is
You happen to ride anywhere else in nanaimo?
Only Benson in Nanaimo. I didn't really know the island, so I did a huge sampler of everything!
Hi Dale, any interest in testing a short clip of 1080p 60fps video of one of your mtb rides? Can be a 30 seconds of riding .
That's a negative. Would have to be its own video rendered at that unique resolution to be a fair test. 2.7k60 will remain! 🙂
I have a mountain bike to it is the plus bike it’s a mountain bike
Will brown bears usually attack Or run from mtbers?
I don't have experience with brown bears, but I know bear spray is highly recommended in the backcountry!
@@DaleStone I spoke with Seth Wood a couples yrs ago (from district cycle/rode the tour divide), I remember him saying how he was more afraid of the big cats. How they liked to chase bikes. Psew boy.
Gas foghorn have an effect on bear?
@@DaleStone No brown bears here. Few griz sightings way up north island, but not down here. Only black!
Replying on this one but you have anymore clips from Nanaimo? Love seeing local trails on such good quality.
you should do some how-to vids
What would you like to know?
Well, you can start with some basic stuff. How to progress from simple stuff to more advanced. I don't know if that's what you are aiming to achieve with this channel. Me, as a novice rider, I'm far away from the level of trails that you ride, however you explaining those features, helps me understand how you tackle them. On the flip side, I do think that if you spend some time explaining some simpler features (small rock gardens/roots), body position etc. it will be very interesting.
Just something to think about if you want to grow the channel in that direction.
First comment yay
