I’m out of my comfort zone watching this from my sofa. You know how we’ve all got that thing where we kid ourselves “if I had to, I could get that done…” - this is not that. Nope, I’ll stick to the paragliding
Paragliding takes a bunch of confidence too man! I'd never have the courage to go up there lol. I'll stick to my beloved dirt and leave the skies to the birds.
It is insane watching you hit all these sketchy technical features everywhere you go. Very fun to watch. Plus you sound like fry from futurama when you laugh which is also great. I’m subbing.
Now THAT was a Dangerous Dave video. I found myself wanting to push the slow down button during long insanely rapid stretches where trees are flying by inches away from the tips of the handle bars. What a Rush.
I bought a while ago the Insta360 X3 camera and it is amazing, to whoever is into mountain biking and you want to get some cool clips this camera is for you.
interesting what you said about the brake leavers- I personally want the brake point to be farther away from the handle bars. Especially shimano brakes are very bad for this- the adjustment is close to the bars, or really close to the bars..
@@ddangerousddave the point when the pads engage and it starts braking- for my shimano brakes I use a trick were I just pump the brakes about 3 times when the wheel is out- on magura brakes the adjustment is normally enough to get it where I like it.. the closer the lever comes to the handle bars the worse I can modulate my braking- guess that is just my anatomy
@@zirie Are you the builder? If so, thanks for all the hard work! It flows much better than it did when I tried to ride the remaining relics a few years ago haha. Especially that section after the drop. I just wish I had a time machine to see that trail when it was in its prime! That and Cunning Stunts.
Hey thanx dude a couple young guys did the top part , I did the bridge in and middle/lower part. LOng time ago.More to come on the rehab! Yea Cunning Stunts was the true B+K OG trail back in teh day. Suspension bridge, swivel totter. So nice :) . Glad you liked DNZ as well. Cool video man. @@ddangerousddave
I rode Seven Up when i was there a month ago, half the feature were rotted out and sketchy as, rode one feature and my front wheel went right through it. Regardless Roberts creek is so amazing, i was only there for a day but i need a week there.
That's such a cool trail. It had just rained and I was on the ebike so I gave it a pass, but hoping to hit it again one day. I usually hike my bike backwards up the trail so I can inspect on the way up then ride down.
Don’t know what my favorite was they all really want a lot of fun, although 2001 does look like it has promise back in the day they really do need to get to a rebuild on that.
This is amazing footage. I’ve been riding full suspension cross country since 1999. In 2001 I caught the outside of my front rim on a rock that threw me over the handle bars and I broke both my radius and ulna in my left arm. Two surgeries. Now if I grab something wrong with that arm it hurts. I’m still riding, but no super crazy stuff. You guys are one mistake away from a life changing or life threatening fall. You’re young, but think about the rest of your life. 🎸🔪
Bro… you are freakin’ BADASS!!!! Holy shit I’m always amazed seeing your vids. I could never or even want to do this cause I’d run right into a tree lol. Keep em coming and ride safe always bro
Late getting to this reel yet glad I did. Thanks for sharing the sweet adventure. Nt cleared for riding yet I enjoy all your videos when I can't. I love filming in 360 yet with the trails you are riding..lol..no way. Is the chest mount safer than on top? Have a great day!
That huge mound you were riding on on Built to Spill looks a lot like a glacial esker, a huge sediment mound deposited in tunnels under ice sheets as they melt and erode.
Just to clarify, I didn't send any of those jumps blind. I've ridden the first section of the trail before, but I still made sure to roll through once to check that the trail hadn't changed and that the jumps were clear. As for the second section, after I overshot the stump jump and crashed, I went down and inspected the rest of the trail. Normally I would put that in the video, but I forgot to record that bit. Just don't want anyone to get the wrong impression and think that riding jump trails blind is a good idea.
I don’t know if many people really know about this but there are trails out in louisiana that have uphill and downhill trails, but they also have a lot of features that scare me to an extent I don’t ride a lot of the trails. I’ve been riding for about 2 1/2 years and the one thing I realized was I’m scared of gap jumps, but I really want to hit them someday but I figured putting it out there that there are trails in louisiana that deserve more attention the trails are in Bogue Chitto State Park, and I’d 100% recommend them if you’re ever passing through LA
From the first video i ever watched of yours.....that laugh gets me every time!!😆😆It reminds me of the same laugh after you almost died on a section of trail , but didnt! 😂 Awesome riding man! Thanks for making great videos!
Honestly Dave, I'm holding my breath just watching some of this, almost willing you to slow down before it all goes to shit! But hey, you wouldn't be Dangerous Dave if you were known for going slow... Awesome skill mate and fantastic trails too.
Trail Tracklist: 1. Intro 2. Hand Solo (double black jump trail) 3. Insta360 X3 camera 4. Built To Spill (lush tech trail) 5. 2001 (freeride relics) 6. DNZ (stunts and jumps) 7. iTrail (fast and flowy blue trail) 8. Mini e-bike check
I ride clipless on my cyclocross/gravel bike, but I don't want to run them on my MTB. That is unless I was serious about enduro racing or rode XC because the pedaling efficiency is noticeably better.
Not sure if you're Canadian or not but I'm originally from Alberta and we have a ton of great mountain riding there too. I living in Newfoundland now and I personally think it's the most breathtaking place in all of Canada. No where near as many cool trails as out west though. Really cool video, you're an awesome rider!
Depends what you're after. As a 360 camera, the X3 is more versatile and gives you a bunch more creative options. The main reason I got one was to be able to reframe the same footage into both widescreen for TH-cam and vertical for Instagram. You can also play with the angle, FOV and warp in post. 360 cameras are also pretty sick for skiing and snowboarding if you plan on using it in the winter. When it comes to outright image quality though, a single lens (ie. non-360) camera will always produce a sharper image.
As a person who never rode but likes to watch I always have this question. When you hit a jump for the first time blind, how do you know the proper speed? Is it just an experience thing? Also can we just say camera stabilization tech has come such a long way in the last decade lol.
Mostly experience. I'm not a great jumper so I'll often follow someone in who has ridden the trail or is more experienced. And yes, camera stabilization has come a long way. Kids don't understand how good they have it :p
Thank you for including the trails as separate chapters! As someone who is unfamiliar with a lot of the trails you ride, it's much appreciated.
Occasionally i remember to do it 😂
Hand Solo was crazy! I cant imagine what thats like in real life if thats what it looks like on camera
it rides kinda awkward but rlly fun
2001 - an incredible trail. Thank you for sharing. I have so much fun.
this is no doubt the best POV mtb content on youtube right now! great job! keep it up!
Man i love the sunshine coast. You made those trails look so good! Great video as always
Thank you!

Great riding, Dave. I love seeing you on a jump trail from time to time.
Thanks! Don't get too used to it though :p
this man is the best way to experience the thrills without any worries about failing, great job!
You can't experience the thrills without worries about failing, part of the fun
@@diskokex1620isn’t fun it’s scary
Dude you ride with so much speed but are still so nimble on the bike it is insane, truly amazing skills you got
Each trail looked so fresh ... the soil 🤩 Dave showing the eBike dissenters right there for sure 🤟
Wow, I've never seen anyone speeding so much and still has such control! Really beautiful woods and cool trails! Instant Sub!
Crazy riding trails like this on your own. I came off yesterday on an innocuous-looking root that I've ridden over dozens of times. Accidents happen.
It is insane watching you hit all these sketchy technical features everywhere you go. Very fun to watch. Plus you sound like fry from futurama when you laugh which is also great. I’m subbing.
Love that woodwork… come to the East Coast and try some of our rock work! We don’t have the same elevation here though. Awesome riding!
Would love to one day! There's been a lot of videos from Quebec's Sentier du Moulin region which have definitely piqued my interest.
@@ddangerousddave If you do, take an extra day to check out VBN! Not far off SDM, few new trails in the last couple years :D
You are awesome you're such a great Ryder please keep posting videos I love watching trails that you go on are sick.
Thanks Gerald!
Insane riding skills! The woods are beautiful, i have to come over there one day
Now THAT was a Dangerous Dave video. I found myself wanting to push the slow down button during long insanely rapid stretches where trees are flying by inches away from the tips of the handle bars. What a Rush.
That jump line was insane! I think i had a few heart palpitations watching this!
That ridge on Built to Spill is insane! Love the footage.
I bought a while ago the Insta360 X3 camera and it is amazing, to whoever is into mountain biking and you want to get some cool clips this camera is for you.
amazing forest and riding is on another level but the sound of riding in forest is something special thanks 4 the video as always !!!
You are amazingly talented and that camera is awesome!
Thanks Brent!
the beginning was so visually appealing and euphonious
Insane riding skills! The forest looks incredible!
Thanks!
every time I think to myself "yeah, I'd die there", right on cue, Dave chuckles
interesting what you said about the brake leavers- I personally want the brake point to be farther away from the handle bars. Especially shimano brakes are very bad for this- the adjustment is close to the bars, or really close to the bars..
Do you mean where the brake levers start or where the pads actually engage?

These trails are awesome, I wish the ones around my area were like this!
That looked like a great day on the Sunshine Coast. I’ll have to take a look-see one of these days. Great riding as always Dave.
Thanks Nick! Definitely a fun place to check out. Nice quiet vibe over there too.
never cease to amaze! Really hoping I can make a N Van trip next year. The trails just look amazing out there!
Havnt seen anybody hit the rock drop in a looooong time. Nice work :)
Surprised they didn't leave the rest of the entrance open as an optional line. Runs so well.
@@ddangerousddave Yea I'm transitioning the trail to all blue.
@@zirie Are you the builder? If so, thanks for all the hard work! It flows much better than it did when I tried to ride the remaining relics a few years ago haha.

Awesome! I love your videos! 🙌🏼
Thanks Melodie!
How many bikes do you have?
Not enough :p but I generally try to have an enduro bike (Spartan HP), e-bike (E-Troy) and gravel bike (Hatchet).
His confidence is amazing ! ❤

Really nice of someone to leave a chair there!
They knew you'd need to sit down after riding that trail 😆
Don’t know what my favorite was they all really want a lot of fun, although 2001 does look like it has promise back in the day they really do need to get to a rebuild on that.
There are a bunch of old relics in that area. Just need a time machine!
Dude you have the best POV MTB videos out there!!! On top of that you are always riding new awesome trails!!! Can I come and live in your basement!!!!
Basement?!? It's hard to afford rent in a two bedroom apartment here 🤣😭
Those trails are awesome!
hahaha that chair down there at 2:34 was really a masterpiece😁😁
That was a hell of a ride!

Finding out that Dave has a comfort zone is like finding out you're adopted on your 145th birthday.
Crazy bike skills Dave!

Holy shit dude Built To Spill was crazzyyyy
Such an amazing trail
That huge mound you were riding on on Built to Spill looks a lot like a glacial esker, a huge sediment mound deposited in tunnels under ice sheets as they melt and erode.
all the jumps you send blind are ones I would have to look at,
all the jumps you have to look at I wouldn't do.
Just to clarify, I didn't send any of those jumps blind. I've ridden the first section of the trail before, but I still made sure to roll through once to check that the trail hadn't changed and that the jumps were clear.

Bro just spawned a chair out of nowhere 2:30
Nothing like a bike set up perfect and dead silent on some chunky trail. Just sound of tires in dirt, the hub and you breathing.
I don’t know if many people really know about this but there are trails out in louisiana that have uphill and downhill trails, but they also have a lot of features that scare me to an extent I don’t ride a lot of the trails.

Very exciting video, experience the feeling of adrenaline surge
Dangerous!! 😂❤

Thank you!
It makes me want to play Riders Republic when I watch the video
Wow you guys have it good over there!
Sooo awesome
Built to spill looks super fun!
Even watching you riding this hand solo trail it was feeling like a childish dream in which you jump from the height and fly.
Love your videos, pretty sure I would have hit the handlebars on those trees more than once.
My pinkies live in constant fear
Fire bro 🔥 🙌 👌 😤 💯 😩 🔥 🙌 👌 😤
Not sure about the camera but insane trails
What do you mean about the camera?
Yea I'm not a huge fan of the lens. A bit to fish eyed for my liking.
@@Andrew250 makes elevation look much more realistic than.
Shows the angle of the descent much better than a regular camera.
did you ride any of the non trailforks trails? Theyre amazing
Trail Tracklist:
1. Intro
2. Hand Solo (double black jump trail)
3. Insta360 X3 camera
4. Built To Spill (lush tech trail)
5. 2001 (freeride relics)
6. DNZ (stunts and jumps)
7. iTrail (fast and flowy blue trail)
8. Mini e-bike check
What size cranks came on the bike? You ride this troy like it’s a spartan😆
I believe the bike came with 160 or 165mm E13 cranks.
wow, such amazing skills.
How do you even know where the trail is going? I feel like it’s really hard to tell😂
Watching ur vids makes me forget abt my problems.
Dave have you ever tried riding clipless?
I ride clipless on my cyclocross/gravel bike, but I don't want to run them on my MTB. That is unless I was serious about enduro racing or rode XC because the pedaling efficiency is noticeably better.
@@ddangerousddave yeah but having so much control over your back tire is so helpful!
Nice riding, bike not so much! You should tip Devinci to make their e-bikes stylish as the others without a motor! 😉
Moped.

Long live the skinnys
It's crazy how You can handle a bit heavier bike ( the lighter ones also :D ). Love your riding !
Thanks! It's definitely more of an upper body workout with an e-bike :p
those trail are Crrrraaazzyyy, i would definetly die, you handled them very well.
Almost preordered Hero 12 but quality of your X3 POVs makes me reconsider my decision. Curious about any thoughts on that.

@@ddangerousddave thanks for your input, I appreciate it!
2:57 first i looked, was that mark walhberg? :D
i watched dale stone ride that same Hand solo trail only recognized it with that tree stump jump
do you sit down or stand up while u ride
How is this even a question?
Hand Solo looks amazing! Dave what chin mount are you using for your 360?
Insta360 tripod to prong adapter and Probike3d chin mount
@@ddangerousddave Right on, thanks! Your skinny skills blow my mind

great work bro
that i trail pov was amazing
The jump with tge corner right after looks quite scary!
Ridiculous bike control, amazing to watch 🎉
That place looks like some haunted forest. I was expecting a gingerbread house and a witch baking bikers in the oven🤣
Nice bike, i got a hardtail mtb and i love it its my fav bike by far

who makes these trailers and builds all of the wood stuff?
I gotta ask; have you ridden these trails before, or do you trust your speed and send these jumps on first encounter?
I love everything you do, but I'm scared of that e bike catching fire in the middle of a forest 😮
what speedometer do you use?
Nice bro how do you find this cool parkour?
