Hehe, i can feel you. Riding with skilled people on a crazy trail and pretend everything is fine but you already crapped yourself badly :D But you know what, leaving your comfort zone is what makes you better. I just love you watching "force" yourself to do it in a healthy manner! Very well played dear Eric! Btw, B.C. in fall colors is the most beautiful sight ever!
This is one of my favorite mtb videos on UA-cam, bar none, Eric. I think you are such a core skilled rider with the guts to show vulnerability. Funny and humble too. Stay safe, my friend and kio skete, neh?
Wow! That was freaking awesome! With the perfect soundtrack. I was on the edge of my seat lol. Really reminded me of having my stomach in knots just on the car ride to a daunting (to me) trail. Such a huge mental factor to this sport! So cool to hear you kinda hesitating a bit then riding through the fear/anxiety. Well played!
Great video. That crew at the entrance was concerned in a kind of funny way "Are they sandbagging you here?" and yet so supportive/encouraging too. I don't think I could handle doing a new-to-me scary entrance like that in front of a crowd.
You have to be one of the bravest riders around, going with the builder who knows that trail inside and out and you kept up!!! Great video. We could feel the fear.
Thanks for sharing that Eric. You really highlighted a lot of the mental struggle that goes into riding trails at your limit. Mental Mastery +1. Grats!
I'm just catching up...This is an awesome edit Eric..!!! Really happy you recovered from a rough cold start. Your riding was legit...! And your excitement made it even more fun...! Loving the content more and more...keep up the great work.!!!
Haha, Eric I love your honesty... I would be crapping my pants down the loose, steep shale... just gnarly! And love the sound of the earth crumbling beneath the tires, very confidence inspiring!
I keep revisiting this video. It’s so beast man 😎. Derek is one cool dude too. The whole vibe you set with the music and editing, really awesome. Just something about your work 👍
Eric,I've noticed a few times that when you ride with pro's,or you ride a trail thats deemed a pro line,you appear to get inside your own head and psych yourself out.you're more than capable of nailing majority of that stuff with ease! Videos are great by the way,the last few months has been full of awesome content!
@@BCpov definitely bud! I'd like to see you have another crack at that secret trail you rode with (matt beer I think?!) I think a second run at that would be awesome at some point You definitely need to work on your trail noises though,Yuka has you nailed on that front! :)
man, I'm a local and can ride pretty much everything else in Fernie. Headed up to Diggler this summer and got a major reality check on what a pro-line is! Sick video!
BC You're better than you realize. Let go of the brake and enjoy the rush. You handled a hard trail very well. I'm 62 and I've been riding mountain bikes since 1991. Never let an opportunity pass where you can make a memory. The harder stuff you ride, the better you will be. My knees are done so downhill is the easiest riding for me but I still ride a Y-33 around the neighborhood trails. One day you physically won't be able to ride. It's better to stop that way than to lay your bike down and wish you hadn't. So always ride. Peace and enjoy the sport.
The GoPro effect really made that look soooo much easier. God, I wish there was a better way to capture the trail. I could tell you were nervous and from watching your other videos I knew it must have been ridiculous. Good job dude! I liked all the music you added. Great job editing that in there.
Top riding Eric ! I've been to fernie a few times but in the winter the skiing is awesome!! I passed out as a Canadian ski instructor there. The place is so cool without trying to be cool ! If you know what I mean, people are so genuine lovely, my favourite place to be !! One of your best vids yet !!! & You have so many !!!! 🤘😎👍🌲🌲🌲🏞️🌲🌲🚵🌲
Just by the number that trail sounds awesome. We've got trails with a similar or even steeper average gradient around here, but nothing that averages so steep over such a distance. Our biggest descent over multiple trails is only just 1200m. Gotta make a summer time trip to Canada one day.
Even with the GoPro Effect on full display here that trail looks steep as hell... and loose to boot! Crazy man, great riding. I can also guarantee my 'trail speed' would not be enough for that double.
Eric, you have been an awesome inspiration to everyone out there and you are my fav youtuber. But honestly whats with the can of beer in the drivers hand driving in the beginning. =(
Nice work Eric!!! Next time you do stuff like this, can you take photos at the base of the crazy drops with your phone so we can see it without the GoPro effect??
Great video and subscribed. Amazing trail having ridden it and shows the fun and support that we get from strangers as mountain bikers. Keep up the great work - if my videos come out half as good as yours I'll be stoked. Nice job.
When you see the other riders who are good riders wearing chest/back protection you kind of know it’s not going to be an easy ride, that’s what goes through my mind, good on you for sticking it out on that one 🤪👍
""YOU KNOW WHAT, I LOVE WATCHING THIS VIDEO I LOVE THE LOCATION IT'S AMAZING. THE CAMARADERIE OF EVERYONE IS AWESOME!!! YOU ARE ALL BLOODY STRONG TO LIFT THAT TREE. WOW!!! AWESOME!!!!!ENJOY BIKING.....
Heading there today!
And I was back at the hotel, eating Mr.Noodles and watching cable TV. I'm still happy with my choice... Sick riding Eric!
Haha, nice 😁
Eric, harder than other "hardest trail in the world" video??? Still waiting for you to go back and conquer that one!!!! LOL
@@ryno785 hardest trail in the world is still the hardest! I'll go back sometime!
I'm patiently waiting. :)
Haha, awesome! Love me some Diggler. 10 out of 10, would ride again.
So fun, right? At least once you drop in, haha!
It gets easier from there..... Sort of. Fernie is dope.
Hehe, i can feel you.

This is the content i live for dude, this is you at your best, riding something crazy gnar
Glad you liked it! I tried extra hard on this vid!

Such a huge mental factor to this sport! So cool to hear you kinda hesitating a bit then riding through the fear/anxiety. Well played!
Damn you guys have the coolest tracks in your ends :o Channel is growing fast now boss, not surprising with content like this!!
I gotta keep it up! Thanks Will!
Cheers brother! :)
Your channel is one of the best on UA-cam as well @will Greenfield !!
@@willgreenfield this was the trail I keep banging on about in Fernie, so good!
Man I LOVE your music choices! Another great video; the pucker factor was real!
glad you enjoyed the music! I spend a lot of time looking for the right track!

haha, yup, they were cool! Kinda glad they were there!
You have to be one of the bravest riders around, going with the builder who knows that trail inside and out and you kept up!!! Great video. We could feel the fear.
Impressed that you catched the front wheel at 13:50min. Good job!
Trail looks rad!!!!
haha, it wanted to take me out!
Thanks for sharing that Eric. You really highlighted a lot of the mental struggle that goes into riding trails at your limit. Mental Mastery +1. Grats!
Sweet vid Eric! Fantastic editing, music and commentary. Your personality it coming thru as well
thanks 2wheels!

One of the best video's of the year. Excellent work Eric.
Thanks Doug! I knew it was a good one so I put some extra time into it!
great video Eric. Pushing our limits is how we progress. well done and was a great watch
Thanks oz! sometimes i gotta push myself a bit!
That was suspenseful and awesome! You showed as much courage in sharing your nervousness about the ride as you did actually doing it. Props!
thanks t2a! I try to keep it real!
Haha, Eric I love your honesty... I would be crapping my pants down the loose, steep shale... just gnarly! And love the sound of the earth crumbling beneath the tires, very confidence inspiring!
haha, yup, you want to stop.. but the ground keeps moving..
Love your videos man. Super likeable and lots of trail bucket list material. Keep it up, cheers
Thanks David! I wish all the vids could be epic like this!
you survived that just fine Eric! love this episode! great crew you got there too! :)
Yes Eric! Awesome edit. Great trail. Keep it up!
thanks Jakub!
I keep revisiting this video.
It’s so beast man 😎.
Derek is one cool dude too.
The whole vibe you set with the music and editing, really awesome.
Just something about your work 👍
Glad you like it! It's one of my favs too!
wow man freaking insane trail. Just watching it i shat myself. good on you for doing it cold bro, thanks for the adventure.
The gnar was high brother!
Another great video Eric, keep shredding those epic trails 👍🏻
Thanks Robbie! I'm always on the lookout for these epic trails!
That trail look gnarly and that video was great! A real nice piece of storytelling.
A nice cold PBR on the way up the fire road! haha
haha, i totally didn't notice that until the 3rd or 4th time watching that clip!
first thing i saw
Eric,I've noticed a few times that when you ride with pro's,or you ride a trail thats deemed a pro line,you appear to get inside your own head and psych yourself out.you're more than capable of nailing majority of that stuff with ease!
Videos are great by the way,the last few months has been full of awesome content!
I bet I can do a bit better with another pass down the trail :) I know what to expect know!
@@BCpov definitely bud! I'd like to see you have another crack at that secret trail you rode with (matt beer I think?!) I think a second run at that would be awesome at some point You definitely need to work on your trail noises though,Yuka has you nailed on that front! :)
Awesome riding again, Eric. That trail has a deserved reputation.
Thanks MTB808 :) Well deserved proline designation
The music adds a great effect to the video. And it wasn't too much where I couldn't hear the trail. well done Eric!
That was so sick, man. The locals are really crazy, aren't they? You did great, Eric. Respect!
Crazy, but also talented!
That's for sure. Wish I could ride that hard.
What a confidence builder! Sick video.
haha, by the end i was feeling pretty good!
Immense! This is so good. Probably my favorite video of yours! Of course none of this to Yuka the van girl but I guess it will do.
haha, maybe i can convince her to go down it with me next time
Nice work, man. That looked like some truly gnarly terrain!
So scary but this is the best MTB video ever. Thanks for sharing mate!
You should submit this video to theCannes film festival! ;)
Haha, thanks buddy! 😆
@@BCpov u didn't get the sarcasm
Omg!! The Best Musical Score Man!!! Great Stuff!!
Thanks Esteven! I spent a lot of time picking the right tracks!
man, I'm a local and can ride pretty much everything else in Fernie. Headed up to Diggler this summer and got a major reality check on what a pro-line is! Sick video!
When the locals have body armour and you have a t shirt....
haha.. the camera on my chest doesnt provide much protection!
That's what I was thinking.
Whoa, may as well be shredding down a glacier
I just lol’d
Nice production. Love the emotive tunes 👍
Thanks DAve, definitely spent a bunch of time trying to find the right tracks!
Always wondered about that trail... you should come check out Razor's Edge in the Bow Valley. Lots of rock n loose shale!
added to my wishlist!
Great edit Eric.
That trail must be super gnarly if it's giving you the fear!
Nice one Eric.
Proud of you mate!
Respect that you ride this trail. Yeah man.
That looked like so much fun. Super gnar and loose and the jumps looks like fun,even the road gap👌. One day I'll ride there.
Go get it!
Very impressive to see you taking some jumps the first time down!
Wasn't expecting some of those!

Thanks for watching :)
Great riding. And great editing too.
Thanks JM!

The crew in Fernie is amazing. Really had a great time with those guys and girls!
Steep! The video is good fun, the scene where you guys where lifting that three was something else nice!
haha, that was a great moment!
Amazing riding Eric keep it up
The light...beautiful.
Glad the cameras could capture it decently!
those views!! simply stunning, would love places like this in the UK
I hear scotland is good!
Nice riding! Looks awesome
Thanks!
mad respect for that builder!
That looked steep even on gopro. Great job conquering it 🤙
Cool trail Eric epic steep at the top slip & slide buddy 😉 a nice beer at the end nice 👌😜🏴🏴
Post ride beers are the best! Thanks Taffy!
officially on my bucket list!
Send it!
I live right beside Fernie. I live in Sparwood
when locals show up with full face helmets and a DH bike is present you know shits about to get real! great job man!
haha, a dh bike definitely helps i think!
@@BCpov definitely think the nomad is a great second choice!

Watching the rest of the video, that trail looks soo good.
Yup, bc is covered in biiiiiig mountains!
Even with the GoPro Effect on full display here that trail looks steep as hell... and loose to boot! Crazy man, great riding. I can also guarantee my 'trail speed' would not be enough for that double.
haha, always good to follow someone in on new to you jumps!
So sick bro! Amazing
Thanks Grant! Pretty proud of this one!
Cool trail! Really would like to try it one day.
I want to try again!
To bad I live like a 12 hour flight away, otherwise you could have showen it to me ;-)
Always an indication of gnar if all the locals are rocking double crowns!
The terrain there is no joke.
ahhh haha that happy sax music at 6:30
yup! I show up with my enduro and they're all on dh guys, minus one guy!
That trail was unreal. More of this. Also flat pedals and Maxxis shorty maxx grip rule on tracks like that.
haha, im curious to try flats again!
Great video, didn’t think you were going to lift that tree trunk 👊🏻
haha, i wasn't sure either!
So gnarly, great video
It sure was, but it was great!
Eric, you have been an awesome inspiration to everyone out there and you are my fav youtuber. But honestly whats with the can of beer in the drivers hand driving in the beginning. =(
I was shouting at my laptop on the harder stuff. "You got this!"
Haha! Thanks man!
That drop in at the beginning of Dirt Diggler looks like the Courbet's Couloir of mountain biking
That a very cool way to ride a very sick trail!
haha, riding it scared? :D
@@BCpov at least you rode it! What I wanted to say was that I liked the chill, no hurry attitude of the group ;d
"dont blow off the traverse..." part would mentally defeat me already
haha, know kidding. Good warning though!
Nice work Eric!!! Next time you do stuff like this, can you take photos at the base of the crazy drops with your phone so we can see it without the GoPro effect??
This reminds me of "TheGnaliestTrail" video. I got goosebumps watching it. Do be careful Eric.
Definitely similar, hey? The gnarliest trail was definitely harder though! Fingers crossed, no major injuries in a while!
When you mentioned Nate Hills riding Dirt Diggler I had to go check his vid. You guys are awesome . Thanks !
pretty big crash on the black lung in his vid!
He had a shot from below the Black Lung drop. Immediately understood your hesitation . Holy crap !
Awesome trail! Looks like you got in your own head. But once you warmed up it was all good. Victory!
haha, im so bad at dropping in cold!
Great video and subscribed. Amazing trail having ridden it and shows the fun and support that we get from strangers as mountain bikers. Keep up the great work - if my videos come out half as good as yours I'll be stoked. Nice job.
That trail looks like way too much fun
Gimbal can't keep up with the nervous shakes! That trail looked so gnarly dude!
No gimbal on the helmet cam!
@@BCpov nice. It give the trail a steezy looking effect!
Great video & amazing trail! Might be worth shooting in a higher frame rate as gets a bit blocky on the fast stuff 👍
I like 24, but i wish i could control the shutter speed on gopros!
Great stuff !
Thanks Chris!
Awesome edit.
thanks man!
That looks like one awesome trail and you sent it!!! I am just confused what "bro talk" is???
When you see the other riders who are good riders wearing chest/back protection you kind of know it’s not going to be an easy ride, that’s what goes through my mind, good on you for sticking it out on that one 🤪👍
haha, ive been wanting to ride this one for a while! I was ready, no matter what!
Wow, talk about pucker factor!!! Awesome vid!
Coulda made a diamond out of coal!
I can not imagine the tires you go through riding trails like this!
I don't hear your rear hubs at all? What Nomad model do you have?? is it the Carbon CC XTR Reserve???
Nobl wheels with onyx hubs 😎
i love how quiet it is. nice bike! did you get the Nomad X01 build??
@@Blockxblock nah, frame only. Custom build
I'm super glad I didn't try to go ride this trail on my rental bike with blown brakes when I was there in August...
haha, might have been a bad idea!
How long have u been doing mountain biking and enduro
Awesome!!!
haha thanks!
""YOU KNOW WHAT, I LOVE WATCHING THIS VIDEO I LOVE THE LOCATION IT'S AMAZING. THE CAMARADERIE OF EVERYONE IS AWESOME!!! YOU ARE ALL BLOODY STRONG TO LIFT THAT TREE. WOW!!! AWESOME!!!!!ENJOY BIKING.....
haha, thanks Jun! Glad you're so stoked on it!
Were you using clipless? That was sick man
haha, yes i was
What do you call the type of riding you do, like this, in the woods....is it downhill, XC, backwoods etc?
"Why am I crashing" No truer words have been spoken
When the man who built this wear an armour, and even fall down on his own track you are in trouble x""")))
what bike is that?
sc nomad
Why no elbow guards ?
Dude your the man come to lake placid ny!
One day!
