right on man, this is so old I barely remember it...lol. Domaine vert is definitely the go to place near you. Try Oka also, it's sooo good, they have a bit of everything..

@ yeah! I’ve been wanting to try oka, definitely next on the list

Yep, exactly. Punchier/steeper sections on this though.

Crazy! lol

yeah, while on trail it's not always apparent. It dips into Kraken for a bit, then I continued to finish Octo II. All those trails in that corner are frick'n amazing. There's another one in the works too, a tech/flow/jump line, possibly ◆◆

ok cool, glad it helps... Enjoy!

yep, that's the vibe I got while there, shoulder season venue. Love the #5 and the jump line is 🔥🔥

yeah I realized that after, I could have just went left instead of right and went to check out the lower falls portion... oh well...I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I'll be back there soon enough ;)

definitely one of the most unique sections of trail in the world... I was seriously awestruck. So beautiful.

I'm on a Vitus Sommet 170mm all around. It's dreamy. On this trail loop I'd recommend a full suspension though... for optimal experience ;)

@@bikeninja956 I learned the hard way its hard to judge a trail by a video, god i learned. Your video seem like i could rock this trail with my hardtail, but i'm still affraid of my past experience with that feeling xD

@@JeeFLaV_Qc gopro effect is real my friend ;) always..... Pre-ride, Re-Ride, Free-ride.

bell is this style: scooteretti.com/products/knog-oi-bell It does not ring on jumps but it's not very loud either. Battery on this model is 630Watt, can take the 800Watt with a different cover. Thanks, glad you enjoy!

yep, for sure, they had it marked as black before too.. it probably should have stayed that way IMO, would be tough for kids if someone brought them in there thinking it was intermediate'ish..

Вы внесли существенные изменения в раму? Изменили дизайн, чтобы сделать его своим? Я заявил, что его нельзя использовать в производстве. Но если вы их изготовите и начнете продавать. Я бы хотел отрезать :)

@@bikeninja956 я изменил строение верхней части для размещения батареи. я не планирую использовать ваши разработки для продажи. только для личного использования

@@bikeninja956 я не говорю что дизайн мой. спасибо

@@bikeninja956hello. yes i changed frame at the top to make removable battery. Also i wont sell these bikes. I’m just gonna build one for personal use. Hope you understand. Thank you

@@buzzbusted YES! very cool. I'd love to see this in electric. Show me when you're complete! хорошего дня! :)

thanks buddy! never thought I'd get there.

yeah ofcourse, they're ebike accessible for sure

oh no worries. Probably 30-45min if you take a few breaks, then get into Basilic and Pesto. It's a crazy trail, almost too long.

@@bikeninja956 dude going next week I can’t wait.. your long video like this helped a lot with what I should be expecting.. I love this format of video for MTB trips most of the time people post a whole trip in a 15 min video

@@tttyler1234 ok cool. You're gonna love it, it has the vibe and feel of "big mountain" riding like you'd get out west. Haha, thanks man. Long format is def not for everyone (who has the time..) but if your trip planning, then it's perfect. Rip it up!

nah, it's the usual 1.25/1.5" lower. Are you sure yours is 1.8" Domain? I had emailed giant about this and they said the frame is made for that but uses the standard tapered forks (with correct headset). Yeah they're speced like that to keep the price down. So the stock sus on this bike was SOOOO bad it was almost unusable... if I would have known, I should have just bought the trance instead, I'm in it for that amount of $$$ now with all the upgrades. Fok.. rolls good now tho atleast.

@@bikeninja956 Ya I just pulled the fork today and measured it. Spoke with a few bike shops and no luck with headset adapters or reducers, nothing! Or they don't know squat. Appreciate your reply.

@@hvaclife676 if your Domain is 1.8" lower taper, you can either shop around for a similar fork or just get the more standard 1.25"/1.5" tapered fork and use a.... 1.8" to 1.5", headset reducer. They seem to be sold out at most places on-line tho :(

@@bikeninja956 The forks are hard to come by in that 1.8" size. Waiting on a local dealer to see if he can find a solution before I ditch Giant lol Anyways, I enjoy your videos. I'm up in Mont-Tremblant next week to do some riding because I enjoyed watching your videos in that region. Will also try to make it to Mont Rigaud

@@hvaclife676 Got it. Mont Rigaud is SO worth it. You'll love it. Have a good ride!

which one? Naismith? it's a beautiful trail but as mentioned, the entry and exit of the trail are basically defunct.

@@bikeninja956 The part that goes in and out of the farmers field with the steep drop on one side in the woods.

@@chriscoote2690 yeah that's Naismith, it's super unique and fun, just wish they'd maintain it. It was pretty clean 4 years ago. Not sure what's going on.

thanks buddy! Glad they're helpful, have fun!

nope..

nothing, just that compacted dog walker area in the woods..

@@bikeninja956 so they are over by the other group of trails

@@disgamerbebad2908 yes, they're on morning glory.

@@bikeninja956 thx mate

so long ago, hard to remember... pretty sure they have basic signage tho, TF would help also..

not sure, but they're co-opting most of Nakkertoks' XC ski trails, so probably unlikely.

Exactly, those summer XC trails are nakkertok ski trails in the winter. Not excluded that a longer loop could be developed… 😉

Exactly. Runs off the backside down to the green would have a little less elevation change but for short jibby hits, it's perfect.

Green's an ok XC/Cardio loop. I wouldn't do the blue unless on an ebike, just too long and raw (which I doubt it will ever get fully burnt in). Reward/Pain ratio isn't there. Super nice back country loop though.

​@@bikeninja956thank you for your honesty

yeah they rent Rocky Mountain enduro bikes. Highly recommend renting one. I was really wishing I had an Enduro bike at the time. You can get down any hill on any bike, but there is always the right tool for the job and an enduro bike would be the best fit for this venue. Have fun!

Salut Seb, Merci. I had a great time riding with yourself, Shawn and the family. Thanks for all the hard work. You definitely have a magical little spot there. I look forward to coming back out later. À la prochaine. Bonne ride!

Larose forest isn't that close to orleans

eh, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it. The new stuff is definitely an attraction. Yeah, I could even see Mastodonte being a green level run if the rider was solid with brake control...

hey alpha, hope all is well. Yes, definitely worth it now with those new runs they developed last year. Touché on Chateau Montebello. Revised ;)

all their blacks are about the same, they all have short, more difficult sections through out. Makes it a bit of a pain if you're trying to progress. Go through each one methodically and try to get through each feature. That's how you progress. I do that with double blacks, drops and bigger features now :) all about a nice, calculated progression.

@@bikeninja956 Will have to take that approach next time I'm up there. With the eMTB, it makes sessioning a particular trail worth it, because getting back up is no longer the battle. Where on my normal MTB, I'd want to get as many fun runs in as possible. That one steep rock "drop" you struggled on I've looked at and said "NOPE" many times. It's the sudden transition that throws me off mentally.

@@KDubber rock drop where I fell? yeah, you need to take it diagonally so you land in line with the trail. It's almost roll-able that way too. Still an awkward feature for sure.

if you're living out that way, it would be a good place to do some quick laps, test new bike settings out etc. not really a true MTB network... I had fun though. I'm a sucker for pine tree's and valley's. Just needs to be 6000ft higher :P

@@bikeninja956 I'm only a few minutes from there and ridden it a few times, I lose interest in there pretty quickly. It's just unfortunate there's no half decent network within riding distance in Orleans, so the only option is to load up and drive 30 min to either Larose or SMH. Bilberry cloud be better if more of the trails on Trailforks were actually passable.
