Really cool that you guys like to ride fast, but also don't have a problem going out and exploring, riding new stuff, looking for new lines etc and can just chill and enjoy the trail, unlike a lot these days who just ride the same trails over and over, chasing strava koms.
I never knew these trails existed by Merrit, makes me want to bring my bike next time I go through or go for the day. Love watching your trail riding and your friends techy moves haha
This lap looks closer to what we rode last year. Fun trail, you definitely rode more of it than we did. Hopefully you sampled to excellent food and donuts at the Kekuli Cafe in town. Simply the best donut I have ever had. That venison bannock sandwich was also great
Not a place you want to take a tumble. The rock looks volcanic up there just waiting to cheese grater you. Good to see you guys really putting it together. I think theyre hard to maintain with the smaller riding community there. Samosas are great at the info xenter too. Knee pad giveaway for 10k subs?😂
As you were going into the deep grass I was like „fuck, i wonder if there are as many ticks as in Germany“ and 2 seconds later you’re talking about those bastards. I would have checked myself several times 😌
man, why is your forest such a mess of blow-down? Have they cut t prime stuff enabling wind to get in amongst it? another class production; like t interrupted pace to look at stuff. Used to whitewater paddle a lot/ tech stuff mtb is a lot like inspecting unknown grade 4 water...wise! thumbs-up from NZ
That overgrown dead tree area is scary to see during fire season 😅 don’t know how bad your fire season is in bc but I’m sure in California that whole area would be gone lol
Looks like somebody put in a lot of effort to clear the path from all those fallen trees. We have one fallen tree on the most popular trail in the area but we are not allowed to cut it without approval and the authorities are not responding to our request. This in a country where in a year were cut 18 millions cubic meter legally and another 20 illegally :(
Hey Dale, nice trail, enjoyed watching it, once I stopped it regularly and let it cache :-\ Same thing again 1080p and I need to cache, connection at full DL speed, where I never have trouble at 1080p watching anyone else once I'm getting full DL, can even watch sped up, but yours, always, these days. I'm guessing that you're not using a lot of compression on these and somehow YT isn't getting a chance to compress them or has relaxed their aggressiveness on compressing videos to save storage size. Might be why your vids seem to be just that bit "better" than most others maybe, but never had trouble before :-\ Think maybe you've figured out how to get better quality files than most, because I finally gave up 2/3 way through and switched to 720p and that behaved and looked more like most 1080p.
Can't say I blame you, your vids definitely have that little something extra that a lot of others don't, just that bit crisper and I always could never figure it out, but guess we know. Curious what software you use to edit and what encoding to you output at/to?
If this was California they would use your down tree footage to turn it into a political debate about sweeping the forest to prevent wildfire lol. Laughing emoji. We have areas that look like that in the Sierras and San Bernardino Mountains.
@@DaleStone only problem being you cannot understand anything about the trail 😂 I guess I’ll take my time to watch it in 1440p on a good internet day, it’s worth it!
Seriously holy sh**, you really got to talk to the “youtube team” about the magicgate to your video... took me over a minute and probably closing over 2 dozens other videos it kept trying to send me to... seriously deters me from wanting to watch the content, you should seriously get them to fix that...
@@DaleStone no that’s my whole point... I was clicking your video, because I generally am interested in Mountain biking, and your content looks good, but it was constantly sending me to other videos... I’ve been on youtube since 2007 and it’s REALLY started to nose dive the last couple of years, (signs of it dying) but yeah if this persists I’m going to call it quits on this and move to one of the other streaming sites, are you on/considering going on rumble or Vimeo or bitchute, or any of the others?

I love this perspective; the pov but also getting to watch ddangerous ddave's technique. Gorgeous, wild place!
Unreals. Amazing what the bikes can do in the right hands.
Using Comic Sans to roast your own dad joke is so meta!
7:30 “Let’s get out of here” yeah I’m right there with you, half fallen trees 🌲 I’d leave quick too!

That sounds delicious, noted for future trips!
Im not a mountainbiker myself but for Some reason this is cozy to watch
Good friends, good times! 🍻
Damn, with trails that gnarly, you must go through a set of brake pads every month! Sick riding!
Pretty close, every two!
@@DaleStone
hi bro, please pay attention when editing, set a constant bitrate, variable crumbs video
@@mtbabinsk it is CBR
Your videos have an addictive quality to them and I’m not sure why!
Let me know when you know haha. 👀📈
You guys made the Elephant's Head look so easy!

That is a hilarious idea... And riding shorts. 😅
Incredible footage Dale.

Pretty cool spot. Very unique but beautiful.
Man, looks awesome! I gotta get to Merritt 👍
Oh, to have the freedom (read: skill) to explore like that! And who the heck took the time to cut through all that blow down?!
Cleaning this mountain could be a full time job, we were SUPER grateful! 😊
Such awesome terrain
That is a sweet trail 🤟😳🤙nice riding my friend 👍
Wow great footage 👌👌👌
3:07 looks really cool
If only I could tell what was at that timestamp. ☹️
Iron mountain is such a rowdy time!
Nice trail, nice ride, nice gloves
you should really use a 360 cam to accurately portray the steepness especially since your channel is based on riding steep trails
I've always been interested in trying one, but I've gotta save money! 😅

Area right close to this is now engulfed in flames, sadly enough.
Your mate became one with his bike.
iron mountain is raw! your commentating is so smooth even while riding. ever been up to williams lake?
Never! Any noteworthy jank/tech?
@@DaleStone slabs are few but the tech comes from steepness. if u like wooden features and hand built single track you’ll love it.
This trail reminds me of yellowknife!
wild nature brrr :)
Just think what one single spark could do... this is literally a giant tinderbox
Plastic pedals only!
Watching
Do you recommend 60fps over 30? I love your quality and I know u use 60fps but all tutorials on gopro say to you 30, should I use 60??
I only upload what I like to watch, and right now that is 60. 🙂
@@DaleStone I think many people love it too, and I mean I don’t mind 30 it’s just basic but 60 is so smoother and higher quality and I love it

60fps definitely would hurt the bitrate UA-cam has to deliver on, but sadly it's part of "The Brand™" now. 🙃

Curious what software you use to edit and what encoding to you output at/to?
I edit with Davinci Resolve, and haven't a clue what my render settings are haha. 🙂
jankasaurus.
Dude great video but I prefer your brother's GoPro settings 😜😍
I'll have to ask my parents who my brother is!

Tree-ats :)
what gopro do you use?
8 black
BXR... is that a trail name or were you a Halo player back in the day? 🤔
Halo of course! Glad someone got that haha. Trail name was Three Shot Willow. 🙂
What bell do you use?
Spurcycle Compact
@@DaleStone thanks!
Chin mount or visor?
Chinny chin chin.
damn i wish you were recording at 30 or 24 fps, my old computer cannot load these 60fps vids, too bad
Lower resolutions are still 30 for aging tech! 🙃

@@TheMTBRider96 I watch on 720 and it's pretty readable. Slow internet and old ass tech means I live on 720 tho so maybe my eyes have adjusted ;P
