You suddenly showed up in my recommended even though I don't do anything MTB related, but I've been binging your videos because it's great to just watch you ride the trails. I love the POV format without all the filler content one usually finds on other channels!
I like you I wouldn't mind some bike how to from you because you seem like a decent guy. But I love the right down the trail stuff instead of running your trap for ten minutes about sponsors and you'd probably die on this trail but my superhuman might will protect me.
This trail was revitalized by a local DH racer named Dean Tennant, with help from some friends. He's also one of the driving forces behind the Jordie Lunn Memorial Bike Park in Langford, BC. Great dude, amazing rider.
Those trees you like, look like a madrone we have here in the states One of my favorite trees, a kissing cousin to the chaparral plant Manzanita. The two of them to me look like they should be in a Dr. Seuss book. I not only love trees I love rocks!
I ve got nothing to do with MTB and two weeks ago UA-cam recommended me one of Dave's video and then I found your channel as well. To this day I am watching all your videos...love them!! One complaint about this video..where is the bear 😅 Greetings from Greece!!
Wish there were something comparable nearby. Looks like a long and fun black that’s within my abilities. Will keep in mind for any future Island trips!
Loads of POV footage leaves me feeling a bit disappointed, this upload did not. Great stability, colour popping, great resolution..what more can I say? Bears and all. Thank you.
@@DaleStone got this reply as I watch you tackle Gargamel. Always great when you find a quality creator with a back catalogue.😎 Fantastic trails, I can only dream! Cheers man!
Hey. Really like your vids. I like how the trail looks so clear! Are you applying any sort of sharpening? If you are, it gives me ideas that i want to test out...
The arbutus is spectacular... have you been to Powell River and rode Mt. Mahoney trails? If you haven't there is 4 trails there that are special (OG, Kush, fairies wear boots, civil disobedience) if you do I would love to guide you on a day trip to where I live on Texada island. Our trails are not on the map and only a few people ever ride them. They are in beautiful forest and have a mix of steep tech and xc tech with a bunch of cool features... we just finished a 140ft log ride and rode it yesterday for the first time.
Never been to Powell River, but added Civil Disobedience to my list last month! Thanks for the recommendations, always appreciated. Texada sounds pretty interesting too based on that description... 👀
@@DaleStone we rode Civil Disobedience and Fairies Wear Boots on Thursday it's in spectacular shape I'll be putting some POV rides on my channel and that will be one of the first on it. Really enjoy your content Dale, I've recommended it to a few friends that ride around here.

What a perfect looking trail! Would love to ride that! Dale, you have some of my favorite videos to watch on YT, they are very "easy on the eyes", THAT SAID: 3 part Q; A. Do you have the camera view on Wide or Superview ?, ... B. do you have your hypersmooth on regular or "boost"?, and C. 30fps or 60fps? ... I'm relatively new to POV MTB footage and could use some advice! Thanks in advance for any tips! 🙏
I really enjoy your channel and thanks a lot for sharing; I have noticed how good quality your videos are and I was wonder if you could share your GoPro settings...Cheers
Sweet trail. If that's how most flow trails were, then I'd tell you I'm a fan, sadly not so and that's an outlier. Yo Dale, what the heck have you done to your video settings, used to be able to watch/stream your vids in 1080p, but now my connection doesn't seem to be able to handle the bandwidth they're being uploaded with - you do know your eyes only see/register about 30FPS, right :-\
are you telling me that 144Hz monitors are snake oil? Also the buffering issues seems to be a youtube server thing; highly doubt its down to the actual video file
@@viperrules24 to see images as motion, 30FPS is all it takes, 60FPS isn't needed or really adds little to the quality, helps if you want to slow a video down to check some action. In games, that's where those high refresh rate monitors and refreshed frames make a difference. Using it for online videos only increases the file sizes and streaming snafus. Thinking that maybe yeah, the issue I had might have been because I was watching it les than an hour after he uploaded, so YT might not have finished with doing it's thing making all the various files for different resolutions yet.
I'll have to check this one out, with it being only 40 minutes from home (Victoria). Thanks! The latest review on TrailForks mentions someone was killed on a dangerous blind gap (not the creek gap tho), would this be the gap in your video that you skipped the second time around? Should I be worried?
@@kylegoplin Well, that's precisely what I'm doing.. The trail description nor the 6 other reviews on TF mention a dangerous gap. From what I saw in Dale's video nothing looked that dangerous, so I'm asking for his opinion given he has first hand experience riding the trail.
@@jaycartwright9382 It's the gap that's signed. The gap is on a straight section and doesn't look like much on the approach but it's substantial and requires a fair bit of speed.
@@jaycartwright9382 alright I think that’s a great idea, the last thing I want is for someone to die on a trail. But I bet the gap would be cool to look at! 😀
Ahhh I didn't realize someone had passed away on this trail recently, that's never awesome. Just stay safe (don't ride gaps blind, know that you're fairly remote with no cell signal, and stick with what you're comfortable at)!

That name sounds very familiar! They did an amazing job. 🙂
Higher Calling Dean Tennant??
@@MTBMcPhee Yep, that's the one!
Nothing wrong with having a nice cover on an epic book. I love opening these
Those trees you like, look like a madrone we have here in the states One of my favorite trees, a kissing cousin to the chaparral plant Manzanita. The two of them to me look like they should be in a Dr. Seuss book. I not only love trees I love rocks!
This is soooo sick!!!! I love Burnt Bridge, but thought it was about dead recently, mainly due to logging and such, but was unaware of this new trail.
Naming a trail you built, would be like icing on a cake
Yes, those madrones are pretty cool
Arbutus 😉
I ve got nothing to do with MTB and two weeks ago UA-cam recommended me one of Dave's video and then I found your channel as well. To this day I am watching all your videos...love them!! One complaint about this video..where is the bear 😅 Greetings from Greece!!
🇬🇷🍻🇨🇦
Honestly same.
“2 tire skid” says Dale…
5:29 Dale’s back tire…
I totally forgot to add something about that! Good eye, hahaha.
Every corner is a scandi-flick whether you like it or not. 🔥
Wish there were something comparable nearby. Looks like a long and fun black that’s within my abilities. Will keep in mind for any future Island trips!
Burke steep with less roots! 🤘
Looked that way. Off to ride Burke now! 🤘
Dean tenant on the build for this one

Bears and all.
Thank you.
Thanks Ian!

Fantastic trails, I can only dream!
Cheers man!
Those looked like some frisky Bears!
Wow awesome 👌👌👌
5k ft average vert 5 consecutive days is a big block! Thats a super solid vacay. Nice one!
Still feeling it! 😅
These bar-bangers freak me out but you thread the needle so nicely. 🤟
The scenery is fantastic i will say
Squamish is best forest in my opinion with all the moss and how green it is
It's one of the reasons they used it for the Planet of the Apes locations.
Squamish moss on a misty morning is definitely a contender with these Arbutus forests...
@@DaleStone I agree with you though Arbutus trees are quite cool. I always take time to admire them. Ding Ding!
Nice trails!!!
I call them R-Buddys, or R-Beauties!
I enjoy both of those names!
Finally some flow lol.
My annual flowy upload.
perfect, finally bears on camera :)
Love the wooden bridges over water! 🤘
Hard to tell but almost looked like a mini wall ride / bridge was angled?
Angled like a berm, nothing too scary thankfully!
Thank you Dave, flow for once in your life! 😍 jk I love tech as well
Close, Dale*. 🙂
@@DaleStone oopsy daisy

Yes, sharpen in post, not in camera!
Sooooo cool

Are those trees native to only Canada? I love watching you ride and the commentary is fantastic. I talk a lot when I'm ridding but I dont have a camera. I just like talking myself through the trails.
I believe they're only on the west coast of North America, definitely rare!
Pretty techy “flow” trail!
The best kind! ♥️

@@DaleStone THANK YOU! 🙏

If I even knew my settings, I'd share them. 🙃
I see you have borrowed van-can’s backing sound track CD. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, wait has he used this one?? 😅
HEY BEAR
I just don't know how you guys can ride up north or out west w bears and cougars!!!!lol I'd be looking in the woods too much instead of the trail
And again no dislikes
Sweet trail. If that's how most flow trails were, then I'd tell you I'm a fan, sadly not so and that's an outlier.
Yo Dale, what the heck have you done to your video settings, used to be able to watch/stream your vids in 1080p, but now my connection doesn't seem to be able to handle the bandwidth they're being uploaded with - you do know your eyes only see/register about 30FPS, right :-\
Haven't touched the settings in years, so something is up on UA-cam's or your end. 🙃
@@DaleStone No issues for me even with shoddy Whistler internet. Best quality trail videos out there 👍

To be honest I’m not dale but I would say to do a bit more research about the trail if someone died, or just don’t ride the trail.

Do you ride with bear spray?
Only when there's a chance of Grizzly in the forecast.
your vid need to buffer sooooo hard...i dont stall out on any other...yours i have to drop to 1080 60...still laggs out...
If there was a setting I have access to, I'd change it. 🙃
How do you get your footage so stable when the light is low? Mine gets bad instant it gets the tiniest bit dark
My guess is that 2.7k is easier to digitally stabilize than 4k?
@@DaleStone yah that would make sense, thanks. Awesome video!
If you bump your max ISO up it will allow the shutter speed to increase in low light. The tradeoff is that the footage can get a bit grainy.
@@MTBMcPhee yah I’ve been experimenting with those settings recently. Thanks🤙🏻

Of all the trails you ride this looked the most boring on screen.
