Thanks for watching! How do you want to progress on the bike this year?
Everything
Jumps and drops
I want to feel confident about jumping.
Sir which is your cycle
I want to be able to ride steep trails while being fully in control and being confident
If a drop looks this huge on camera it must look insane in real life. I got sweaty palms just watching this. Well done on nailing it man. Inspired
Johann De Wet In my experience is the reverse.
Dude that thing is huge. Ride by it every weekend at Moose and it’s straight up insane.
It’s in my to do list, but not for awhile.
That's so awesome to see Moose Mountain getting some UA-cam love. I'm out there riding almost every weekend! The GoPro effect is real on those features, because they're so much bigger in real life. It's a good 20 feet from the takeoff of that drop to where your tires hit the landing, which is also way more steep than it looks in this video too! Nice work! Can't wait to see you hit that TDub step up!
Edit: If anyone riding these trails regularly hasn't bought a membership to MMBTS, please do so. These are awesome trails maintained by awesome people.
Agreed! Hopefully we’ll be out there many more times this summer.
Way to give a shout out to the trail builders. It takes serious time and effort to create those dream trails and the folks building and maintaining deserve all the thanks and help they can get!
I can’t wait for the video of you doing the bridge jump thingy
It's called the T-Dub Step Up. It's sick.
Beth holding on to that tree like it's a lifeline.
"Oh man, I think I might get to take the father of my children to the hospital today"
Hands down my favourite trail at moose! I doubt I’ll ever hit any of the switchyard though! It looks absolutely mental! Props for hitting man.
Yo what up
I recognize the 727 trail!
I've been off the bike for 2 years after a shoulder surgery, I am now facing another surgery to get my shoulder fused because it got infected. Watching all these videos is what gets me through this shitty time. I can't wait to get back on the trail again even with a fused shoulder. Thanks for the vids!
Congratulations. I used to live in Calgary 2005-2011 and I have lots of fond memories riding "Race of Spades". I used to bike with a couple of guys, one of which was from the shore of BC and he would regularly go off that drop. The camera is deceiving, that is a big drop. I never plucked up courage to try it. It's fantastic to know that the features are still there and in what look like super condition.
I love the scream of joy when he nails it. Aesome!
I dont ride, but man these are enjoyable. Just seeing folks overcome and grow their skills with good company - that transcends. Fantastic, diggin the vibes.
I love the lengths of your videos, so much quality content packed into a good sized 10 minutes
That’s the goal! Thanks man
Bloody legendary! First off we’ll executed drop. We all know how hard it is to get over that psychological hesitation. And secondly well done on the epic trail builds. Looks excellent🤙🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
ROS is an amazing trail and so much more tooth rattling that it looks on camera. That drop and roll-in are bananas, MMTBS have done an amazing job.
You: It'll be good, right? Right?
Beth's face: Yeah that's gonna be a no from me, dawg
Progression is one of the funnest parts of riding!
The rush and high of excelling at something u enjoy is mainly what keeps riding bikes so interesting!
The best sound in the world is your tires on a wooden bridge you're scared of, then hearing nothing while you're in the air, and then best of all your tires punching the dirt and rolling away!
Definitely!
This just happened for me too.
just this Sunday I hit my first big drop.
Love progression too. Take care, ride safely. God bless
Nice! That’s awesome.
I don't even MTB and I love this channel. Makes me want to ride. I am buying a hardtail!
I've got a 2020 Honzo for sale if you're interested!
Progression, progression, progression...congrats to all of you for leveling up.
I'm always impressed with the quality of your vids. Well done as always! It really is interesting how progression on a bike is such a quantifiable thing. Like...you can see real time progress. "Last time I couldn't hit that jump and this time I did!" Immediate feedback from hard work. Gotta love it!
Totally! Such a great feeling.
That’s a such cool feature! That’s what I call a Canadian feature- good luck finding much that size here in the states- at least on sanctioned trails! You guys get the gooooods!
So very cool to have all those trails near you. Love watching your vids. Keep 'em coming plz. You remind me of me as a rider, except you're smarter/more cautious than I am, and a little better. I just broke my collar bone biffing on a smaller drop than those two. Must have tensed up and lost my balance as I left the drop and hit the ground hard. Back on the bike soon, hopefully.
Was riding this today, and that drop IS GNARLY!
Nice!! that thing is monster in person, I've looked at it probably 50x and wasn't even sure that wood was safe to walk on! Seen that pole on the back of the shuttle truck many a time last few weeks, sweet!
Haha ya it was a little rickety up there. Good times at Moose!
Nice! Gave me the willies and I was only watching. I dream of hitting features like that someday.
You know it's a well made video when even my palms are getting sweaty watching it.
I came to your channel searching for editing tips, not for this. Your DH videos actually made me stay. Nice one, mate! Keep pushing your limits! I'm already looking forward to watch the next video.
Can't wait to get back out Moose again! Always rad times with Joey and The Flannel Crew!
Well done 👍🏾 It doesn't matter what you skill level is what matters is beating your fears and achieving something you was fearful of the day before. Great to see friend helping and encouraging one another. 😉
You went full Singletrack Sampler laugh at 9:57!! Congrats on the progression! It's really inspiring to see someone like yourself still pushing their riding. Makes me want to get out there and improve too.
Nice video man! Drops are probably my favourite features in trails
Recognizing that trails are built by volunteers got my subscribe.
Nice job!!
Yay Beth! She's got her own progression path. It feels great to do something a little scary and know that you conquered it!
Drops like that can be scary. It's always nice if they have the smaller ones where you can start off with and build up your confidence from there. Well done!😀😀👍
Great job! There is a black diamond drop on my local trail and watching you hit that drop really inspires me to get over my fear.
If you feel you have the skills, line it up and go for it!
I would love to ride with you one of these times at moose. We just recently moved from Edmonton to Airdrie so are much closer now. Love all the content that you and your family post regularly. This pushes me and my son all the time.
Incredible progression there by you!! Massive congratulations on that drop, you earned that 🤣
worst thing to do is look at the landing and gaps when you have a buddy to give you speed gauging. Just send it behind him and do it
Your riding improves very quickly. Haven't seen a video from you for a while and I am impressed.
Thanks!
I'd argue you have the highest production mtb videos on UA-cam these days. Great job on the bike and video progression!
So rad to see the shout out to MMBTS and trail societies in general! Great riding everyone, see you back on Moose soon :)
I think most big jumps and gaps have a lot to do with overcome mental blocks. I am too scare to do anything big like that. Great job ! Subscribed.
Nice video! The step up is not as hard as it looks, you totally got it
That first part is already spot on!!!
Beth looked really nervous about this! scary!
Awesome progression, great videos, keep on smashing it bro!
Thanks! Will do. 🤘🏼
To reduce the compression ratio I believe adding a base gasket under the the cyclinder is a better than between the cyclinder and the head, as there is less pressure and is less likely to fail
AWESOME video! Great stuff! Nice to view and hear u walk thru things visually & in your mind... 🤘👍👍
Brilliant to watch, we've all gone through that overthinking stage and thought just do it 👍🏻 Well done buddy.
Congrats man!!! That looks like a fun feature. Its the best when you get a drop that scares you and then you own it 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks! The best part for me is when I’m rolling into the feature, fully committed and can just tell that I’ve ‘got it’. I’m usually celebrating before I hit the landing haha.
Love to see how far you have progressed since when I first started watching your videos! Keep it up dude, love the content!
Thanks man! It’s been a fun couple of years.
I rode 727 & Race of Spades when 727 was brand new, with some dudes from Cranky's Bike Shop in Edmonton. The youngest of their crew launched that drop, first try. No hesitation. That kid ruled. I didn't touch it. haha.
Kids these days.
amazing video dude! how did i not find your channel sooner!. keep it up man!
You guys are insanely good, thats a wild track, love to watch your vids, cheers from Australia.🤙
Nice job man! I’m looking to become more comfortable with jumps and drops this year. Videos like this really help breakdown the thought process that goes into hitting bigger stuff. 👍🏼
Great video man! And wow so much love in those drops. And great work to everyone smashing the gap jump. We’re really keen to improve on our jumps and drops too!
Thanks! Ya that’s an incredible amount of planning and work.
Awesome brother, I’m a beginner to the sport. Hoping one day I have the skills and courage to do stuff like this. Congrats!👍
The Loam Ranger has been such an inspiration to me. So much so that they have inspired me to create a channel of my own. I will be dropping my first video this Friday 10am Pacific Daylight Time! Any support would be much appreciated. And thanks again The Loam Ranger
Go get em Ivan!
This got me pumped up! I was in Marquette Michigan and they have a few huge drops called BIG Bertha with like an 18ft drop. I'm trying to work my confidence up to hit it! Great job homie
Nice! Sounds like a solid challenge.
The intro for this video is beyond amazing
Thanks David!
Moose is such a gnarly mountain, I did that drop on a dirt jumper with one rear brake last year and I also did the t dub jump on a dirt jumper lol😂😂
Nice sent it deep too!
@2:07 I over shot that jump over the berm . Would of killed buddy in the orange shorts. 🤣
these videos make me feel like a badass for hucking 20ft drops first try on crappy bikes back in 1998 LOL
Legend!
Awesome Video! I gotta get up to moose but first I need a MTB!
The intro to this was so great. Gave me chills!
Coltography Same here, reminded me of the Art Of Flight intro.
The editing is insane. Dope content to come across!
Really great video man! First off, congrats on doing that drop! That looks massive and I know the nerves and adrenaline were pumping! Second, this edit is so good! Your clips, music, text, color and voiceover all fit so well and interesting! I’m inspired to get my video edits on a level like this!
Awesome Ryan, Way to go!!
Thanks!
Yeah, Rebound Cycle jersey! :)
Sweeet! Hit up Moose a few weeks ago for the first time, had a pretty sloppy time rippin down the one lap of family guy we got in. Keen to get back and give this trail a shot for sure
The editing is like specialized stump jumper promo video tier dude, keep it up!
this was the best moose mountain video I have seen thank you for shocking everyone how sick it is
Plenty more to come!
Nicely done!!! That thing is huge
Dude - awesome progression on this - gotta wrestle the fear monster to the ground and let the muscle memory and bike do the work 🤘
Totally! Wise words.
Race of ♠️!!! Heart this trail. Always pedal by those wooden features mind blown about their height. Great Job doing the review and break down. Well done LR.
I remember hitting my first decent sized drop at Angel Fire. Got a tow in, and just stopped thinking about it.. Went great :) Congratulations!
Awesome Ryan! Sick drop. Congrats! You can tow me in next time now :) after watching the video, I registered myself with MMTBS! Cheers
Wow bud! Amazing job getting the viewer hooked in that first one minute... Really nice job with the music and voiceover to give that epic vibe! I would comment on the rest but had to stop it and give ya props before I forgot lol
That looks like so much fun! but that jump up looks scary because of how high it is.
You make it look so much fun!
Planning on conquering it this season 🤟
loved the vid, your gopro filming and editing vids have encouraged me to start filming and making videos of my own. Thanks for the inspiration! I was hoping to make it to Whistler in late June. However, i don't think travel from Ontario will be lifted soon enough. Hopefully I'll make it out later this year though :) Whistler should be in mint condition :P
one minute in and i absolutely loved the intro
DUDE I was there the same day as you and just missed you guys. So cool to see you ride my local mountain :) Race of spades is one of my favorite trails.
just a good day of progression right here. looks like a lot of fun. 🤘
Very cool, nice drop!
Love it and thanks for what you do! Keep bringing it and sending it
wait till you try the off kilter booter right after these features.. that thing is janky.
I got sweaty nervous just watching this.
Nice work on getting over your own mind twists to get through this. Also, I used that "triumph" music in a few of my videos, too. it was kind of weird to hear it on someone else's video, haha!
love the music choice keep putting it in ur vids
Thanks man!
@@TheLoamRanger sick drop too man ur skills are getting great
new fav mtn bike channel :D
This was my favorite video you have made
That bike is nuts
It’s a fun one!
If you got Joey towing you in you know you're in good hands 🤘
Cool video man, love what your doing with the backing track too🤙
haha cool video! the theatrical tunes make it that much better
