jeez! that was your SECOND run down 7th that day!? you are running some MONSTER long laps, friend! That's a heckuva lot of fireroad climbing to do twice. and you do it pretty much every Fromme ride?! I tip my cap to you, sir!
Nice - you made that look good! I was a bit surprised/disappointed that you didn't do the 2nd log ride at the A-frame, so I was glad to see that you went back and got it. :)
I rode Espresso today (late Sept 2022) and it rattled the fillings out of my head on the Optic - 140 / 125mm isn't cutting for me. I haven't ridden 7th Secret yet - looks interesting - thanks for uploading and good run.
incredible run!! one of my fave trails on fromme, but it looks pretty different when I do it lol still haven't built the skills to do the log ride or the gangler yet
Brand new to mountain biking, had a blast at mt fromme today. Just wondering how you keep your feet from coming off the pedals on super rocky terrain at that speed. Does having a FS help?
Weird, I thought I’d seen everything you posted the past year and a half, but don’t think I’ve seen this one. Going to Fromme next week and researching trails to try and happy I came across this one. You were flying! Knowing what you might know about where I am in the progression curve, what do you think about 7th, Expresso, Floppy Bunny, Pipeline and Bobsled as my hit list? Of those, which is the hardest? I’m thinking Pipeline?
Probably pipeline. I'd do Leppard, Crinkum to Kirkford as lap one and 7th to Expresso as lap two. Bobsled and floppy as bonus laps if you have the energy.
Wow, this is so beautiful, we need such trails over here in Europe.... That looked so easy, watching you riding, however, puls was 180 bpm, that was hard work. Respect. How many meters of elevation was the descent?
Nice! You know, if I hadn't seen Nick (VanCan) actually on your videos, I would swear that you and he were either the same person or brothers. You sound so much alike, but I think he may be a bit jumpier on the bike than you.

Love the "just because" moments, not just in this video but all your videos!
Awesome! This video inspired me to finally do the A frame over the log today. Thanks Dale!
Heck yeah! Did I by chance say nice bike to you today?
@@DaleStone nope, don't think we crossed paths today. But yeah, nice bike!
Every time I watch I smile
That's crazy fast! I didn't know it was possible to cruise 7th at flow trail speed
I bet it’s a bit slicker when it’s wet.
that was an amazing run!
That was so cool. Love the audio, Andrea is a badass!
Very true!
Nice - you made that look good! I was a bit surprised/disappointed that you didn't do the 2nd log ride at the A-frame, so I was glad to see that you went back and got it. :)
Had to do the "proper" trail first!

Expresso is definitely a more-travel more-better kind of trail.
@@DaleStone I rode with someone who had a 170/170mm Spire and they didn't see the problem. lol
Awesome! And your commentary makes it more fun!
Thanks!
BW Jersey in the thumbnail!! Paul needs to send you the new one! Awesome trails!!
That would be amazing haha, BW continues to be one of the best shops around. Hit me up if you're out here Seth!
@@DaleStone you're right! And hopefully some day
Great ride with some crazy speed
Clean as a whistle! 🤙🤙🤙
Awesome Vid 😎 Did it First Time The other Weekend Was EXCELLENT 😎
Heart rates of 172 going downhill always make me larf.
Tryhard mode engaged!
And the rate dropped by 3 beats going over the Gangler !
incredible run!! one of my fave trails on fromme, but it looks pretty different when I do it lol
still haven't built the skills to do the log ride or the gangler yet
Soon!
That was amazing!!!
Great content, keep it up!
Love your vids! Greetz from Germany 😊
Thanks Alexander!
Wow, what a trail and great riding! It did sound pretty damn loose!
*aggressive skidding noises*
Keep em coming. Ding the bell.
Brand new to mountain biking, had a blast at mt fromme today. Just wondering how you keep your feet from coming off the pedals on super rocky terrain at that speed. Does having a FS help?
A FS bike works wonders on this stuff, as does maintaining a loose body position over the bike.
How do you get through all those tight trees with those handlebars at such a speed? That’s my main hesitation to get lots of speed on the shore

@@DaleStone Awesome and thanks! Appreciate the input.
@@DaleStone and just checked out Trailforks. Your suggested ride plan makes perfect logical sense too. 🤘
Wow! that was the fastest 7th secret shred I’ve seen with all features done. Super awesome man. 🤟🏼🍻
Thanks to all of the fresh work for making it possible haha, pretty happy with how it turned out!
First time around. Trying this one today. 😁
Good luck!
@@DaleStone 😅
Wow! Good video Dale!
-T + J
Thanks T+J!
You break your leg which is what I did going off the shingles with snow on the log 3 days before Christmas. It was a sad Christmas for me. Lol!
Oof, that sounds awful. Guess I'm never riding it again either!
Dale Stone hahah. It didn’t stop me. Done a bunch of times after that but not in snow. Don’t let an average guy influence your mad skills!
I'll be putting in my Team Average™ application next week, looks like my kinda jam.
Dale Stone I dare you! Lol!
Wow, this is so beautiful, we need such trails over here in Europe.... That looked so easy, watching you riding, however, puls was 180 bpm, that was hard work. Respect. How many meters of elevation was the descent?
180 is very comfortable for me believe it or not! I believe this is around 200m vertical, check the Trailforks link in the description.
@@DaleStone My smartwatch tells me, that I am going to die with 180 Puls 😂 However, I regularly hit 180 in uphill. Thanks for the response 👍
amazing!
Cool!
if there's ever another youtuber EWS race, i want you in it!!
Thanks, me too!
Nice run, what PSI were you running?
Thanks Steve. Great question, somewhere between 15 and 18 haha. Need to be a bit more diligent...
@@DaleStone damn, do you aim for same PSI on both tires?
Typically rear is 1-2 more. I think my happiest setup numbers I've written down are 17F and 19R on a 2.6".
@@DaleStone thanks Dale, keep ripping up the trails.
cheeky little how ya doin up and over at 04:12 👍
🤫
Nice! You know, if I hadn't seen Nick (VanCan) actually on your videos, I would swear that you and he were either the same person or brothers. You sound so much alike, but I think he may be a bit jumpier on the bike than you.
Haha, Nic is a wicked rider. We definitely take very different approaches to some sections of trail!
Dale is rather jumpy if you see him ride. He just has a chicken head which is why his footage looks smooth!
jodi says i sound like both you guys, it might be the ontario thing? GO TEAM TRILLIUM!
JUST OUT FER A RIP ARE YA BUD?
First time i rode this was in 1995, I was 15 and no one knew about mountain biking.
Times have certainly changed!
Really fast!
I wanna see a run down bookwus!
It's been on my "to film" list for a while! I'll get Braden to tow me through while it's still dry!
Is it the frame rate? The video is so much more immersive.
It is, and many would argue the opposite too. 🥲
Cooler Typ.
Damn dude I was there yesterday wish I saw you
It's only a matter of time, I ride Fromme a LOT!
@@DaleStone same lol, i live on the damn mountain😂
wow. Only 10 frames dropped. Whatever you have done, it helped :)
The best course of action turned out to be nothing at all! 😉
@@DaleStone But this time it has no 720/60. Maybe that was the problem
@@BenderRodriguezBender I actually don't get any control over what options are available at the time of upload. It seems to process in two stages, SD and HD, and occasionally something fails and certain options (usually the highest ones) are not available.
@@DaleStone Then i run out of ideas.
Felt looser going down the second time...bwahahaha! Oh, the trail...nevermind. ;)
Your crazy.
That was ridiculous.... 7th secret is non-trivially difficult and that looked stupid easy. Stop making us all look bad!
KOM? 😏
Haha, I wish. Too many extremely fast people in this area.
Did you see the vid on Tony Heller's channel about the woman who got arrested for posting on face book about a mask protest?
That’s not 7th Secret anymore, it’s nothing at all what it it used to be, just another dumbed down trail so everyone can ride it
I do believe the sign said 7th Secret, and I also believe the builder has remained the same for a long time.
