Wizard Burial Ground might be the gnarliest trail I've ever attempted. It started off fairly mellow for quite a while, and then that first chute totally caught me off guard. I just couldn't get my crap together for the whole rest of the trail, and it was *relentless* the whole rest of the way down. I thought I needed a do-over, but this video made it seem just as crazy as I remember. hehehe
"Will ride for pizza" love it lol You're my new favorite MTB youtuber, I really enjoy watching your stuff. I even just installed a bell onto my bike! Given I ride by lots of people in my area a lot so it's useful anyway. I fell like I could manage some of these trails, but what I always struggle with is getting my front tire up off the ground to get over rocks and stuff. My bike is a tad too big for me (the next size down is a tad too small), but I reckon that it's more of an issue with my skills still
Bringing back my memories of riding. We had crappy bikes. Mine was a proflex 854 with a Judy. Wish I could ride too many injuries. I'll keep watching. I'm from poco.
such a high caliber rocky trail . i remember a key section that is missing in this video though. a sharp left turn on solid rock to 4 foot drop ...nothing is better then up up n away ;) LOTS is for the masses. lol
I totally can see why a rider of your skill would prefer this three trail combo over LOTS. More techy, challenging and interesting. Since I’m not (understatement 😂) your skill level, I’m still looking forward to my first Squirrels lap before the end of September. Nice riding on your first trip through these trails! 🤘
@@DaleStone interesting that they can be combined. I won’t be doing it as a huge combo, but you’ll be sending me to Trailforks to check it out anyway. I’ll say hi if I see you!
Yeah, I see what you mean about linking them up. For me, that will remain a “maybe someday in the future” goal. Even if I had the skill to do it, pretty sure I’ll be gassed at the end of LOTS and looking for the quickest/easiest way off the mountain! 🤣
Oh man Dale, those were definitely some very cool trails, but you didn't get me on all, knew one if not 2. Can't believe you live right there and have never ridden Rock Work Orange, such a super trail, brought to light by the EWS held there back in 2017 that Jessie Melamed won. I think they tied that 2nd trail Milk to Rockwork and maybe to the third trail as a complete stage.
Your front braking modulation and slow-roll-drop skills are impeccable. Maybe it's time for you to start hanging out with Rémy Métailler and Yoann Barelli! They could speed you up a bit and you could slow them down some.😁
@@DaleStone Your skills and methods are more accessible to us mere mortals though. So, I certainly appreciate you showing how the bike can handle rolling over many things I would never consider even trying.
Ok I've watched like thirty DS vids at this point and for the life of me I can't figure out the bicycle bell. Used to think it was at the beginning of each trail but it's not. Sometimes it's just when something cool happens. Clue me in folks!
@@DaleStone cool thanks, ill be up there thursday and friday and it says some showers. do you have recommendation for some non park wet weather friendlier laps?
"korova" means "cow" in russian ;)
OH. 😂
@@DaleStone love your videos man
yooo no way i think you are who i’m thinking of
угар))
while watching this i found myself leaning into the turns and shifting my weight in my seat even tho im not even the one biking! 😅🤣 great video!
If I ever got to ride the shore (lottery), your videos would be my guide for what to ride.
Awesome video! Makes a change from the usual A-Lines. Hope this video encourages more people to test out these tricky trails!
Agreed!
Completely agree it is one of the best rides in Whistler. Definitely in my top 3.

Love it, thanks Jack! Go get it. 🙂
Dale, your riding is addictive to watch ! So calm, through the tech. A great watch & inspiration !! 👍🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲🌲🏞️👌
Sooo good, the weirder the name the better the trail 😂
🤪➡️📈♥️
My favourite route (trails) in Whistler also.
Nice skills. Let's hope those awesome forests don't burn down sooner or later
Wow! those do look like fun trails with a good balance of tech thrown in.
Bringing back my memories of riding. We had crappy bikes. Mine was a proflex 854 with a Judy. Wish I could ride too many injuries. I'll keep watching. I'm from poco.
Wow love the rock work n footage thank you Dale👌👌👌
Holy crap, nice riding buddy! Liked and sub'd.
crazy how you can just ride most things first try and make them look easy! great riding!
Thanks!
I rode these in the wet last season and was terrified the whole time, nice riding dude!
Such great tech, thanks for the share and love the riding keep it up!
I'll take these gnarly tech trails over another A-Line video anyday. Looks like so much fun to ride 🤘
Neat trail!
Another awesome video! Keep them coming ! Awesome to see some slow tech riding ,it's not always about speed !
It's often better without! 🚫🚀
is anyone gonna notice how good he is at biking
Yooo… that third trail looked sooooooo good. Jeeezz..
Awesome trails made better with a great rider.

Hmmm roughly where on which trail would that be? Need to go back for it! 👀
Saw your UUA part 2 yesterday, looks really good. Clear from the top?
trail builders were clockwork orange fans for sure 🤣

The beauty is that you can turn both into one ride. 😉 Good luck, maybe see you up there!

my god dale this videos are just EPIC thank u
those kinds of sustained low speed steep technical descents are only my 8th favorite kind of trail.
You're crazy!

Best EWS stage, EVER.
Amazing vids mate, makes me wanna ride now!
Trailforks will be getting some hits after this. 👍
very good!!! Thank you so much for the video and for sharing!!!
as we speak here in Brazil:
Muito obrigado
Muchas gracias
Parabéns!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🇧🇷📈🙏
"you have never heard of" like... obviously, because i'm from middle europe :D
You’ve got some serious technical ability man
Sweet video. Just rode that the other day and it was so good. Wizard burial ground is gnarly in the wet
I could imagine all of those roots turn into danger snakes pretty quickly!
@@DaleStone just adds to the fun :)
Nice trails
Your front braking modulation and slow-roll-drop skills are impeccable. Maybe it's time for you to start hanging out with Rémy Métailler and Yoann Barelli! They could speed you up a bit and you could slow them down some.😁
Unfortunately I'm also on the brakes when I should be going faster. 🙃

awesome video
Dan builds good tech.
I like this Dan character already!
riding gnarly trails blind, Dale style.
Nice riding considering it's blind, I rode it for the second time recently and still stopped to check a couple of lines 👍
It's so beautifully intricate. ♥️
How you recording sound?
Built in camera mic.
@@DaleStone is it frame with micro for gopro 9-10? Thx
8 black!
This looks awesome. I was wondering if it is lift access or climb to get to these trails
They wouldn't be this good with a lift access. 😉
Someone tell me what the bell sound means
Clicks to see trails I’ve never heard of… finds EWS raced trails that are in my top ten and won’t shut up about whenever someone mentions Whistler. 🤣
Haha, I wish I was around for that EWS...
What happened to the onyx hubs? I am pretty sure I can hear a rear hub buzzing away.
Broke it, totally locked up, getting warrantied!
@@DaleStone Damn, that sucks. Hope you get it back soon!
Ok I've watched like thirty DS vids at this point and for the life of me I can't figure out the bicycle bell. Used to think it was at the beginning of each trail but it's not. Sometimes it's just when something cool happens. Clue me in folks!
Let me know when you figure it out! 🙈
@@DaleStone My favorite is when it gets whipped by some low-hanging foliage and dings without your intervention.
@@DaleStone is it like a sonic bear repellent and a physical device on your bike as opposed to a piped in sfx?
It's a physical bell yeah, mounted just beside my right hand! Unrelated to scary wildlife.
Should have ridden it in reverse once you hit the bottom haha
If you were to build a hardtail, what would it be and how would it likely be set up? Just a random question that crossed my mind, thank you!!
If I were to build a hardtail, it would be a featherweight climbing machine. As light as reasonably possible. 100-120mm.
@@DaleStone Thanks! It'd be interesting to see you and ddave do hardtail sessions
The biggest challenge here will be getting Dave on one. 😂
3:39 bear spray? :) where do you put it on bike or bag?
Neither, jersey back pocket!
@@DaleStone Bear Spray: Looks tiny (more manageable) compared to others I have seen. What brand is it?
Think I found it. Mace Brand.. and on 2nd thought maybe less is not best :)
Dude - so close… 9.99!!!
9997...
do you think they handle well in a bit of moisture?
I wouldn't risk it personally. Wizard will be tough.
@@DaleStone cool thanks, ill be up there thursday and friday and it says some showers. do you have recommendation for some non park wet weather friendlier laps?
I only ride Whistler when it's dry to make it worth the drive haha. See what trails on Trailforks are flagged as "wet weather friendly".
If I could give a video two likes, I would for this one,
Wish we had trails like this in Ontario, guess I will just have to convince the gf to make the move
A vacation to this side makes it an easier sell. 🙂
only people with notis know the title was different than now!!
What was it?
@@mattgies my favourite trails you’ve (probably) never heard of. I’m pretty sure something like that
