Not at all fun!

Thanks brother. Yeah that snore was crazy!

@@MTB_adventures_with_Sam when I got my concussion at Kanuga, there was no snoring. I did go "full wookie" though. Take your time; I always get back on the bike too fast after an injury.

@@_drawkward_ the snoring thing is actually kind of interesting to me from a medical standpoint. My guess is that it’s just because you’re still breathing so hard but not consciously doing so or something similar?

@@MTB_adventures_with_Sam Probably just that you landed in a weird position and your uvula partially blocked your windpipe, but it is always a good idea to get checked out after a concussion. Get some rest and heal up, bro. Looking forward to seeing you back on the bike. Shout out to your dad - that was top-shelf parenting in the video.

@@_drawkward_ He is a amazing dad, and an amazing person to have in those type of situations! I'll be back when I can (but not too soon)

Thanks man! that means a lot!

Yeah it was crazy! I could not race day 2 either. the ran storm hit as I was climbing up for the second time. The climbing trail turned into a running river in no time! sorry about your bike; that sucks! I hope to see you there next year, and I hope we have better conditions!

better than the fire mountain race lol! I hope to start filming again when its a little cooler outside again.

@@MTB_adventures_with_Sam yea it’s tough to keep the lense clear in the heat haha

its so fun! i just wish i had better audio 😔

it was ridiculous. The camera does not even come close to doing it justice! the skilly stage was probably 6" deep clay mud in spots. And riding up was like riding through a river bed! Worth it for the memories and laughs though.

That’s all that matters, rain riding is fun, it’s the aftermath that sucks 😂

Definitely! I feel like it’s the only thing the builders messed up on. Everything else I’ll admit is a me issue. But that thing is sketch

Appreciate it

Thanks!

For sure. It’s super fun!

Have fun!

Germany! Do you have some good riding there?

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Hell yeah! You would hit it so much better though!

Santa Cruz Hightower. 150mm front 140mm back

@@MTB_adventures_with_Sam Thanks! Its amazing to see a 150/140 bike do that. Its got to be the rider too but thats inspiring lol I live in NC and want to go there but don’t want to rent a bike. I want a do it all bike for NC. Trying to figure out which one that is. That was some sick riding though for sure and on what most people would consider a trail bike. I love it!

@@Trailblaza322 thanks man! I tried a lot of bikes before getting this one. Where in NC do you live (Mountain, piedmont, coast)? I live in the piedmont personally, and I find that 150/140 is perfect for me in NC. My dad has a 140/134 and sometimes wishes he had more. And I’ve tried bikes with 160/150 and they felt a bit sluggish for what I wanted. But hay, that’s just me. Find a bike that calls to you and go for it!

@@MTB_adventures_with_Samwhere in nc do you ride downhill? I’m in the piedmont area too , just moved here. Used to hit Bryce a lot since it has some nice jump lines. Is beech any good?

@@louiec1848 I actually haven’t ridden beach or sugar! I really need to though. I would suggest rock creek for shuttle access downhill, and kanuga, Rocky knob and San lee for peeled access parks.

Yeah. Last summer. Took me a while to edit everything!

Not even from the very top, but yes, one decent. All the trails I took add up to about 5.5 miles! Of course you can get down much quicker if you take more black and double black trails.

The variety is crazy

Its so awesome! More whistler vids to come for the next month or so, then back to NC! kinda crazy how much editing there was. I had about 8 hours of footage to comb through! Took me over half a year to finally finish all of it!

Well I'm not from BC, so I might not be the best person to ask, but I tend to think that what trails to ride depend more on the rider than the bike. with that being said, I would try bobsled to start with and see how it goes. I have a video on it so you can see how it looks. hope that helps!

Thanks!

It’s so awesome! It had amazing views!

thanks!

Thanks

Definitely regained some confidence by doing it again!

These were some of my favorites! I still cant believe I got to ride them!

From summer 2023

Oh yeah! its crazy rough on most flow and jump trails. But just being in Whistler makes it much easer to overlook!

There so chill and used to humans that the locals call them mountain cows! Lol 😂

Santa Cruz high tower. Wish I had a bit more travel, but still super fun!

You running it 150/145? I'm gonna take my instinct 160/146 you think it'll be good?

@@bradenkarp21 it’s a 150/140 I think. 160/146 should be fine, unless you plan on primary ripping the blacks and double blacks, then you might be pushing it. Once I starting hitting black trails, I definitely wished I had a little more suspension, but it wasn’t too uncomfortable. Hope that helps!

No lol I would be riding blue tech and flow and maybe single black flow

Sure am. Planed on going to Squamish but that didn’t work out sadly. Hay it’s an excuse to go back at least!

All healed up now thankfully!

Thanks

Never worn them before 🤷🏻‍♂️. I wear knee pads for sure, and body armor if I ride park.

Thanks! 150 front 140 rear.

@@MTB_adventures_with_Sam wow!! Unbelievable! I have 160 and 150 on my norco A3. Man you are an excellent rider!!

Thanks for the sub. I ride a Santa Cruz Hightower. Not strict on PSI between 25-28 rear and 20-23 front. Hope that helps.

@@MTB_adventures_with_Sam oh nice bike! I was actually going to buy high tower (orange) a few years ago, but decided on the norco. Keep up the good work!

They were so fun to ride! It was also just the experience of being there!

Thanks man! I'm getting close to finishing some of that exiting surprise footage I mentioned at the end of the video! I'm super exited to share that soon(ish)!
