If you missed our adventure last year, Dave takes some of the most questionable lines ever. I'm biased, but it's s very much worth the watch! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f89yppp638icZWw.html

Hey Dale! Thanks for checking out my trail (Breath) - absolutely fantastic riding, insane amount of control on the big chute! Glad you enjoyed

Thanks for the amazing trail! 🙂 Of our ~1500m exploring day it was definitely my favourite. I'm sure it wasn't easy to scout a line through that terrain, but it definitely paid off!

@samoyedborks7701 Ай бұрын

@@DaleStone Haha, not too much scouting involved, other than finding a way through the rock gap near the top. The trail was conceived when my friend and I rode regular BOTW and saw a cool rideable slab... then one above that, then another one! There's a video of my friend riding the first big slab whilst covered in moss and with a log across it out there somewhere...

I love the collabs with Dave. He was not riding like it was his first time on those trails. Great stuff, Dale.

Don’t get me wrong, I love your gear review videos - you are insanely good at them and they are a service to the community. Keep doing them! But of late, as your focus has been on your business and editing said review videos, I have been missing your adventure rides with Dave et al. Glad you sprinkled this one in the mix! I won’t be doing it, but for riders with the right skill set, that looked like a heck of a good ride and way to spend a day!

@DaleStone Ай бұрын

Thanks Nick! I have several riding/fiver videos lined up, so rest assured they aren't going anywhere for now. 🙂

This trail is the perfect balance of fun and tech. Great riding, and DD win pinned the entire ride. Riding trails blind is really fun if the trail is well-built. They should've called it Jungle Boogie. Lol.

@MudMaverick Ай бұрын

Such a cool looking trail! Some parts had some serious exposure that you would not want to lose control on.

Definitely no room for error in spots here!

@MTBJaySwitzerland Ай бұрын

Woah! These trails are incredible but out of my league. I would have loved to watch one of you sing "Get down on it" while nose manualing a slab! 😂 So good to see dry trails, at my place it's been months that we have two conditions wet or damped...

@Alex-xt9hn Ай бұрын

A nose manual is when you balance on the front wheel without using the front brake. You are referring to a stoppie

@DaleStone Ай бұрын

They're pretty interchangeable honestly. 🙂

@AlexGelinas42069 Ай бұрын

Holy cannoli, that all looked amazing! Out of curiosity, do you ever have any hesitation for those narrow sections with exposure? (Such as at 8:07) I personally always second guess myself, get anxious, and end up walking them 😅Would love to hear how you approach them! Sick riding as always, and thank you for all the quality uploads recently!!

@DaleStone Ай бұрын

If it's an easy section of trail without anything for my hands or feet to hit, I try not to overthink it haha. I've done a long video on risk management riding one of Squamish's hardest trails that it sounds like you'd enjoy though! 🙂

I love how all the videos I’ve ever been able to find on breath of the wild before this one are just people taking enormous slams and sliding down the hill. 😂 Good to see the same didn’t happen here!

@MrAntec300 Ай бұрын

Love the views man. Great job riding. I gotta ask, and im sure you get this alot. How do you go about not seeing any bears? I live in Sweden so maybe im prejudice towards Canada for having alot of them, but I feel like the surroundings at the later stages of the video is bang on bear-territory? Are bears just that much of a constant that you don't really think about it? Or is it too early in the season for bears to be out and about? Anyway. Great video as always. Looking forward to the next!

@robrider838 Ай бұрын

We see lot's, but they are never a problem as they are so used to humans. North of Pemberton is however a different story. More caution warranted the further north/remote you go.

@DaleStone Ай бұрын

I see probably 20-30 bears per year actually! Thankfully always black. But once we're at/North of Whistler we definitely carry bear spray. Typically they don't want anything to do with us either, so it's mutually assured peace of mind in a way, haha. 🙂

Hey Dale, great riding as always! I know you run Onyx hubs. Do you have to run a thru axle spacer on your Claymore? My rotors rub my frame on my Claymore with Onyx Classic hubs.

@DaleStone Ай бұрын

I've only ran Vespers on this bike so far and have had no issues. Could be that you're using an extra thick Hope or otherwise rotor? Never heard of this being an issue though, strange!
