Brake control and good technique. Time and experience + time riding. Canmore isn't really that difficult in terms of descents unless you're hitting the pirate trails. Everything else is kind of tame.
Yes that is the Transition Smuggler. I decided to sell it to get something a little more climbing focused i.e. Specialized Stumpjumper (non-evo). The Smuggler climbed really well with the lock switch but not with a sense of urgency. It was definitely in a league of it's own on the descents with that Fox Float X shock and horst link suspension design.
@@sprungmass Feel free to dm, but is the Wind Tower accessible through High Line at the Parking spot, or? I ride lots of KH and Peaks, but this will be my first summer getting to know the actual freeride and dh trails in my backyard. I hit reclaimed and Riders pretty regularly too.

Rode Cloudline on Saturday with Shred. Great trail!
Yes! I loved every bit of it. Can't wait to go back for a proper shred. Hopefully one day they will cut a lower ridge trail to make this a loop.
@@sprungmass We came out on Guy Lafleur, so we made it a loop.
Thanks for the ride
Thanks for tuning in
How do you control your bike so well I would have ran off the trail in the first 30 seconds
Riding and racing XC MTB competitively definitely helped level up my cornering skills

Is that the Transition Smuggler? How did it do on the climbs and descending?

Have you found any of the pirate trails in the area?
Yes! The stuff over at wind tower is fun and unlike any of the sanctioned trails in the Canmore area.
