Like the other comments state, that 3rd person perspective really shows the features and how difficult they are. Thanks for taking the time to showcase that.

Man...I can tell how hard you had to work (on a few levels) to make this edit. Camera work, sessioning those advanced features. Well done.

Wow, 1995! Imagine riding that on a 26” rigid with cantilever brakes 😁

I like the walk-through before you hit it. It shows how freaking crazy all the stuff is

My dream is to ride North Shore. I live in UK so probably will never happen. You're videos help with my riding depressions ,Thanks.

Looks like the trail has seen some maintenance. Glad to see a classic get some love to keep it rideable. The left hander at about 7 mins, used to be super narrow with a step at the top, nicely rocked in to keep it running smooth now. FYI, at the entrance , you used to have to ride along the log on your right and side drop onto the flat section, then the "first feature" was just roots, with a few rocks wedged in (now cemented in) and a narrow run out (ride the left edge, or drag your arm along the cliff face on your right). A true squirrel catcher start.

Yes sir, I tried to ride lower Ladies a few months ago, had to walk most of it. Absolutely gnarly.

I really appreciate the views from the bottom of the features. It definitively helps the go pro effect and makes it look like you are not just riding a green train

I "rode" this the other day for the first time! It's insane! I couldn't bring myself to do the main feature over those roots!! I was close, but just couldn't bring myself to do it! Nice work! I hope I can pluck up the courage to do it one day! I have a video of y attempt - I'll upload it soon! thanks for positing this .

i used to ride this trail back in the late 90s on a hardtail. its so different now. parts are so much more eroded out and there was a lot less rockwork

Whenever I get a new bike I think of this trail for the entire bike and setup. I still can’t ride it clean and have scars from it. Nice format on the vid.

I rode this last year on a rental Rocky Mountain from Endless Bikes (great people). I think I must have spent a full hour trying to clear the roots at 3:55 and the section just after. It felt so good afterwards to get through it all in one run. The GoPro effect is mighty here!

Dang! Great video man!! I love the way you featured,... The features. Super fun, thank you

And here's me having to psych myself up to do the second roll at the entrance to Floppy Bunny ...

another great ride , shows what the shore is all about , well ridden

awesome video, the walk down and different angles made the video!.... if I had just watched the on board footage I would think these trails were just tech intermediate trails :o

Good idea to get the view from below, looks 10x better than from above, and it is still tougher looking we know in real life.

Awesome video! Thanks for the walk through.

Great video , nice to see the steep angles for once , really gives you a better impression overall than just riding it would’ve 👍🏻👍🏻

Love the multiple angles......looks super easy from the helmet cam, but the other angles show how serious it actually is.....Nice riding

Nice work. Would like to see you do a full clean run for the second part of the video. Like Pinkbike Hot Lap.

Those features are amazing. Wish we had some of that kind of terrain around here - south-central Wisconsin is pretty flat.

Showing those uphill shots really helps get rid of the GoPro effect! Thanks! Thought of this comment before I saw the other ones; unfortunately they all say the same thing.

I'm a year late but I would argue that empress is a more challenging trail, I've ridden ladies and empress multiple times and I think its harder.

you should come to bpw wales, similar trails, just with rocks instead of the wood!

Nice! That's a fun trail!

Good stuff! It's on the list now.

lol I saw this on google maps and wondered what it was! thx for posting

Today I rode Lower ladies only after doing espresso I should say I walked it. Cant believe you were able to ride it all! This video doesnt do justice to how steep and technical it is

Love the Gnarl.

I know you know how to pop a feature or two from your BMX days, so if you want a challenge try clearing the "gap" directly after the monster at 8:31! ;)

Super cool video 🤘

Wish I could go to Canada but I'm too far down in Texas. This place looks like you definitely need to bring multiple spare tubes.

Shame that the Gopro distorts the footage so much but you can definitely tell the steepness and scaryness. Love to ride something like that some day. (I'm from the flat Netherlands :-(

Been following you for ages and finally moved myself to the north shore, hopefully my videos can reach your quality someday!

Great video - thanks.

Illegal trails are where all the really gnarly stuff is. Still pretty gnarly looking though.

Amasing trail!!!!! Thaks for share

Looks like fun!

Lower Ladies....Hated it. good hiking trail though

peep the pit vipers

Very nicely done!

This is crazy! Your super good!

Would be curious to see what bike rack you use, cant decide between a roof mount and hitch mount

I really dig It! I think maybe if you like did one full run of The trail and then took a bunch of clips of The features by themselves to edit into The video would make it flow a bit more instead of The sort of stop-start-stop-start thing. I do really like it anyway though, most people would just roll over it and say "man that was really steep it probably looks easy on The gopro"

just discovered your channel! great content!!

Hey bud, I love that footage. Was that taped in November?

Vancan go check out upper digger it maybe even gnarlier than lower ladys

Great vids as always. Have you rode Cypress. It's another level from Seymour or Fromme.

YT Capra still going strong? Great video and lovely trail!

Yup now I want to go ride 🤦‍♂️

I might have tried this in my prime. Now at 57 nope no way.

@4:14 classic "Gopro effect". From up there it looks like it is not that steep and rough. When you see the actual height and steepness of that it is shocking how little of that shows from up there..

YOU SHOULD TRY UPPER DIGGER

Sorry, late comment. Rode Bookwus a few weeks ago, I think it might be a contender for most difficult trail on Fromme. Thoughts?

Nice

Nice trail!

Wow crazy technical! I wouldn’t ride it. Lol

Nice video! I soooo wanna ride NorthShore, but its far away from Norway. Whats a "jenk"?

great video👍👍👍

Did they redo the entrance. In older videos I seem to remember there being a squirrel catcher, janky rock section.

Nice work man 👍🏻

Hey VanCan I was wondering how you mount your GoPro to your chin bar

Are you getting any positive feedback on the "Hello Van Canners" openings. Asking for a friend...

Great vids. I am in Vancouver until late December and am trying more of the lower-level Fromme stuff. So much more tech! How could I do that pedal trick using flats? I can't imagine having to do a mini-endo on the wood...

Hey love the videos, I’m just wondering do you ever ride that Capra uphill for long periods of time. If so how do you do you like the ride?

Where is that trail

What free hub is that on your bike? Sounds good

Do you think jumping the last part of the rollercoaster is doable? I’ve been thinking about it

Any reason why you aren't using the hero8?

Hey VanCan, just curious...what is your height/weight? I feel like we are roughly the same size, but it's hard to tell from the camera.

did you crack your top tube's paint? :( , no need to say how jealous i am on the amount/kind of trails you guys seem to have there :)

What helmet is he wearing?

How do you mount your gopro on your helmet (sorry for the bad english in german 😅)

its looks like it got a lot smoother compared to years back.

De-fish eyeing your footage will make it look more accurate in terms of steepness and terrain etc. great video though !

Hardest part in north van! Lol this trail is so chill I'd consider it a single black. I swear I've seen you shoot harder trails in van

Do you Ride Tubeless?

Need socks for this one

I havnt riden that trail but I have riden skull. Does anyone think that skull is harder aswell

I have that shirt

"Laddies Only" I take it that was named sarcastically. Like to see a lady clear that trail. Great camera work showing just how steep and technical the trail is. I may need to grow some bigger balls before I try it.

Tip: Wear glasses. My bike coach almost lost an eye due to the absence of glasses

He sounds so much like Homer Simpson!

This doesn’t look as hard as empress

Squeaky

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Trudeau.

จักรยานกี่บาทครับ

Pffft hardest trail on North Shore my butt. Not even the hardest trail on Fromme! Pink starfish and wild cherry would like a word with you.

He needs a Jank work counter

Love your videos but I feel like you stopped and talked about too many features to frequently in this video

You are click bating ladies only what is that supposed to mean just because the trail says lower ladies that dose not mean only ladies can ride it

It is annoying how much he stops

Those glasses 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

ironic how its called ladys only ahhahaahahahahahaha

"Toughest trail on the shore" - now do cypress 😉

Omg I just wanna see the trail. Not talk about every hill for an hour haha

Just a tip don’t name every feature just ride your bike it will be a lot better content if you didn’t stop as much. No hate just some criticism you can still look at the feature but do t show everything on camera

L

Please stop saying "jank". Some fake made up words need to go away. Otherwise, like the videos.
