    The inverse affect of getting used to the grip that Squamish slabs has is when you live here and then go ride anywhere else, you forget you cant just go super slow on slabs and almost die

      Yeah when it's steep on GoPro you know it's crazy in person ... Windrock and this stand out as two of the steeper trails I remember.

I see the original footage of that 'toilet bowl' section was included, awesome to see a few angles of that. Nic, a lil more time in Squamish and you will ride these trails with the same level of comfortability as D&D! Probably should have asked to borrow a Norco, Nic! Lol! Shred on, Fellas, Shred on!!

    Nice to see Nick. Not Out of his comfort zone but Being challenged a bit like he sed riding in north van is a whole lot different then riding in Squamish And at 14:04 Nice save for beginners who just riding MTB for the first time make a note of this turning on wet roots is a big no no and always look ahead at when you are going never look down at the trail because before you know that you’ll be getting a lot closer to the The trail than you think

Weather information I've found is temps range from mid 40s to mid 60s and it rains 17 days out of the month. Any recommendations on when the best time is to visit Squamish? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Nick! question for you!
    After selling you DH bike, do you think that with how good and capable long travel bikes are such as the chilcotin or norco range or transition spire etc etc, is it really all that necessary to have a dual crown fork unless you're racing at a high level? It seems like the stiffness you get out of a zeb or a fox 38 is plenty to be the occasional weekend racer vs spending literally $2000 on a dual crown fork and potentially a new wheelset.

    To fix the fork being stuck, you just need to take off the lowers and then remove the air spring, it will take a lot of force because there will be a lot of air in the negative air chamber. Then put it back in and inflate the air side to like 40psi or smth. Then put the lowers back on. ua-cam.com/video/MQBsrTpwoCo/v-deo.html this is a video of how to do it
