[To Be Named] Blue Downhill - Gitwinksihlkw Downhill Flow Trails (Saasak Trail Network, Nass Valley)
Brand new downhill flow trail in the Nisga'a Village of Gitwinksilhkw in Northern BC. The riding area is known as the Saasak' Trail Network. The new trails are absolutely fantastic and have pristine machine-packed berms. This trail, '[To be named] - Blue downhill' is a short downhill flow trail nearby the new viewing platform. With only about a ten minute uptrack, you can lap this trail all day.
There are very few photos and videos and very little information available about this trail network. I just wanted to upload a quick lap for anyone interested in what these new trails look like. For anyone considering a trip to Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon City) - Saasak' Trail Network, I strongly recommend it.

Second Gen Nissan XTERRA - Melt Mod to Clear 33" Tires
Переглядів 10 тис.3 роки тому
I just wanted to throw together a quick video of me performing the "Melt Mod" on my 2007 Nissan Xterra. There aren't many videos of people actually performing this mod so hopefully people find this useful. A heat gun is definitely the better choice for this modification but a torch can be used as well. Be careful to not heat the liner too quickly and check often that you are not burning a hole ...

No need to hammer ! I did not even take off the mud flap, I just did the melt mod and 285 75 16s fit and did not rub.
Why doesn't anyone wash their car before doing this?? And 15 extra mins to take off tire makes it SO much easier. Drives me nuts!
what touch screen “radio” do you have on it
what tire size did you install?, Im thinking to go from 265 70 16 to 265 75 16 on my xterra, just wonder if I need to do the same
The most common 33 for the Xterra is 285 75 16 (32.8in), which will rub without melt mod or lift. 32s (265 75 16, 31.6in) will fit fine.
You make that look super fun! I wanna try now! I’ll be nervous but it’s worth a try, right?
I’m also from Gitwinksihlkw
It is very fun! If you've got a bike you should definitely try it out
Def gonna try this trail out ! Van Girl Yuka came there from Vancouver . How does one enter this trail ?
Woah ur going fast ( btw I live in that village )
Great video, which trails have you tried on them so far?
I'm from the village and haven't been able to go up there yet, due to work and no proper bike just yet, love to see more of Northern BC trails to visit once I get a nicer bike
I tried both of the Leaping Lizard Trails as well as the unnamed blue trail near the viewing platform (a few times!). You're going to love it once you can get out! The trails are really fantastic and would be an awesome place to learn and develop
@@chriswilliams1206 really? Ur from the village? Thats weird I haven’t seen u in the village
@@chriswilliams1206 oh wait I just didn’t know who u are because u aren’t in the village atm
@@Heinzzemm I moved to terrace for college in 2015 and been here since, I have lots of family growing up there as a kid I'm 25 now
Ever think of filming the saasak' trail in the nass valley??
Yeah, I just got out there for the first time yesterday! The trails were amazing. I broke out the go pro for a couple laps so people could have a look at the trails.
@@doughodgins1836 yeah they are truly amazing man
I suggest cleaning the wheel wells and using a heat gun.
Any update on the melt mod? Did it stay in place? Is your X stock or lifted? Video walk around would be good to see. Thanks.
Still in place. Not lifted in the video, new duratracs have no clearance issues. I might do a quick walk around video for you with the new tires if you're interested. Lift should be coming in the next couple weeks.
Awesome. Yea definitely would like to see the upgrades. I just got my Xterra a couple days after your video. It already has ATs which looks decent but at the stock size. Thinking about getting suspension first then replacing the tires.
Do you have to do the rears too?
Tackling mine this weekend. Did you try the other side without the hammering? I had not heard that was necessary. Thanks for posting it.
I did the hammering on both sides. Just some moderate taps to bend the tabs a bit. Basically just puts the fender liner on the final angle you're trying to achieve without having to stretch it any more. If you don't tap it in then you'd be more likely to burn a hole/rip/tear the thermoplastic because it would need to stretch further
@@doughodgins1836 Makes perfect sense. Didn't get around to doing mine but will shortly. Cheers.
I live in Pa and I am afraid I’ll mess something up. Would a speed shop or a body shop do something like that?
