would you like some cheese with your wiiiiine?
This was awesome.
Wheres the test ride video?! I enjoy your content.
Keep talking bro, I enjoy da commentary!!
Appreciate it!
Sick zone, can you shuttle there or is the road gated? Hitting Nelson next month and only have a couple days to get the most goods
You can't shuttle Mountain Station but you can shuttle the Kokanee and Giveout zones
How does it ride with the 150mm fork? Does it climb well for all day rides?
The 150mm fork feels super well. I have no issue with climbing. The slacker head angle feels great and the seat angle doesn't feel too slack. I haven't tried the bike with a 130mm fork though, so I can't give the best feedback.
@@nathangaffran Thanks boss
I'm heading to Vancouver Island for Fourth of July this year (2023) and I'm really looking forward to riding in Nanaimo and Victoria Should be awesome since,, in addition to mountain biking, I'm gonna catch three or four baseball games considering both the Victoria Harbor Catz and Nanaimo Night Owls have home stands. The trails on the Island I've seen look ideal for riding my singlespeed mountain bike, too.
Sounds like a great trip!
Bike looks dope man!!🤙
Appreciate it!
You going to UVic?
Yes
Ya Nathans back !
Enduro bikes are the new trail bike
Very Informative. I really like your narrating style.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Great video! You could go the distance with this channel if this is how you’re going do videos 👍
I agree !
Awesome Video dude!
Thanks!
Bro finally posted 🎉
that was sick!
Thanks!
Love your videos. Thanks for making these for the Nanaimo area!!!
Also, the grips you are selling are fire, I love how they run!
Looking a little washed up from your last videos but glad to see you getting back out. We should ride together sometime!
For sure!
Damn that looks like a sick track :D \m/
I wish Golden had a lot of these North shore style wooden features. Maybe they do I just haven't explored the trails though. Nelsons riding looks pretty gnarly though.
This commentary is the best 👍👍
Thanks!
First time watching your trail preview vids (found from trailforks), loved the commentary!
Awesome, thank you!
Loved the commentary 😂👍
Thanks
cool mint CBD roll on for your back
sick
You made that look easy when in fact it's not that easy at all. Great work!
Thanks a lot!
Just rode this trail this week and your video was very helpful...nice work! Trail absolutely kicks a$$ and your commentary is pure gold. Keep up the fine work
Awesome! Thank you
Cool
nice
Impressive simultaneous skilled riding and thorough commentary!! Siiiiiick!
Thanks
How were they in the wet?
Quite good, especially for a dry tire.
Ya
I am in Nanaimo what is the best trail
I like Kid Gorgeous to Sexy Flanders to Max Power at South Benson
It's gonna be fuuuun!
Yeah buddy!! 🤘🤘🤘
Eh man, I ran into you at the bike shop and at powerslave on the weekend. Just wanted to say thanks for the trail tips. Watched quite a few of your vids to get my list together of what we wanted to ride, sadly got monsooned on two days in a row haha. You weren't kidding about the road gap either with being able to go into it pretty slow. I overcooked it my first time pretty good! Cheers dude!
I bet I could get it first try right?
I'm working on this one myself! Thanks for sharing!
So easy to go off line when you're hypoxic.
Haha
So awesome Nathan! Thanks for sharing. Plenty of work in that course!
Awesome seeing those trails at speed. Thanks Nathan.
Keep doing the vids! These are awesome man
Thanks
Yeah buddy!!
You sendi dog
Thanks!
5 different kinds of Rad. Noice!
Awesome Nathan! Fun to bump into you the other day in Nelson at Mtn Station. Will be riding the last week in June at Squamish... Hope you keep up these fun vids.
Nice video. Yup fun trail. You need to do a video on a new trail at south benson called Endor. Super fun at speed. Then link it up with Blitzkreek. Would love to see a video on those two.
I would love to try that, unfortunately I am not in Nanaimo anymore.
@@nathangaffran Well if you're ever back in Nanaimo you need to ride those two trails. So much fun.
I just changed over to Maxxis Assegai 2.5 on front and Dissector on rear 2.4 both 3C Max Terra EXO and absolutely love this combo on my 2019 Canyon Spectral...
Ooo yea, beauty of a trail. Used to ride Westwood all the time. Stopped going as much when the dnd put a stop to riding in there.
All the trails are still there. Just have to know your way around!
