Nice to see it's not all massive huck's for pro level riders. Looked like a lot of fun.

I looked at it for a long time and decided that the tree gap was a bit narrow for my liking (on top of everything else)

How magic does that look!!! Although there is absolutely no way I would ride that narrow ladder bridge at 5.00 mins in.

We didn't see it coming. It was to late to stop once we were on it. Its about a 10-15ft drop I think.

Sorry, i wasn't trying to be rude! In fact, quite the opposite! You certainly are keen enough, i'd have given up and walked after the first, oh, 5 or so OTBs..... ๐Ÿ˜†

Relative innit. Compared to, say, the sun it is.

Doesn't look as good as the singletrack behind nationwide though.

Are these trails easy to find? Going out to BC for the first time on Sunday to see a friend and want to get some riding in, got 3-4 days in whistler/Squamish.

None of that vid was in Whistler or Squamish, but in general all Canadian trails are well marked and well graded. Good maps available too.
There is plenty of variety too. Although I didn't get to Squamish, it's meant to be superb.

Yeah these trails are on the north shore. About an hour south of squamish. these trails are easy to find, squamish are a little harder but you will be fine. Just look up on trail forks. I might be at squamish/whistler on sunday as well.

I recommend you go ride Rupert, my favourite squamish trail just now, cool features without the life ending consequences.

Sweet vid. And I'm sure waaaaay steeper than it looks on GoPro. Impressed that you are doing that after a few months. I'd have been off out of there on my road bike after the first OTB!

Which bit of the [insert flat UK trail centre here] was that? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Loved it. You're clearly in way over your head but a lot of people have a fear of crashing and that stops them from trying, you've clearly got over that which is great.
