I watch a couple other guys too and often hear “not today” or just see complete avoidance of all these beautiful features. YOU send EVERYTHING! I LOVE IT!! So much fun to watch. Literally my favorite channel rn.
@@lukeesser5342 The most important part of riding is knowing your limits. If they don't feel comfortable riding it, they don't feel comfortable. At the end of the day, mountain biking is a hobby for 99% of people, and a great many people cannot afford something like Bobo's (from the channel BikingWithBobo) fifth (I think) degree shoulder separation.
I love these vids..... I watch them when I'm tired and they are fun to watch but also chill enough where I can fall asleep and not be woken up by the noise of someone screaming or going "woooo" as they send a 45 foot tabletop. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.
used to ride this once or twice a week on my old v10. yea its ruff, ya its beat up. but its quiet and has the old school vibe. livin in switzerland now makes me appreciate even more what the lower mainland had for trails.
I Just Got a Older Brodie HT Im it Making Trail Ready . I Work At the Bottom of Burnaby Mt. I Just Leave My Bike In My Car . 1.5 Hrs Climbing 30mins DH ITS AWESOME 2 or 3X Week 😎
Solid! I was up there yesterday morning. Second log ride you hit, my front tire slipped off. Introduced my face to the log, and Broke my helmet lol Woodlot definitely brings the goods and gets the blood flowing
I once 50'd that hip at the top of blood donor. Forgot it was as big as it was, came out of the corner and took one casual pedal in too easy of a gear and went for it. It was a bad time.

So the question is: if you were to do it all over, would you buy the specialized Enduro again? I’ve been seriously considering this bike. My hesitation is that there are some pretty good climbs where I ride, but I also hear the bike pedals really efficiently. I also wondered if it was a little too much bike that only wants to go straight, but you make it look pretty snappy on the jump section of this video.
The enduro is a great bike. It pedals really well. It definitely big but I find still pretty playful for 170/170. I prefer being over biked than under.
@@VanCan Really... I thought you've been riding for longer. Thanks making these videos I really enjoy watching them and you've helped me become a better rider!! If you want you can check out my channel
@@VanCan Thank goodness for that. I knew you were a few years into mtb and I have always figured that in comparison, my 5 years has resulted in very poor progression. Now that I know you also have extensive bmx behind you, there is still hope for me yet :D

Ya true half if not more of the mtb TH-camrs are giant pussyies
@@lukeesser5342 woah
@@lukeesser5342 It's almost like they're trying to avoid getting injured and having to visit the COVID-taxed hospital systems.
@@abadatha ya but even before Covid they were chickening out of jumps and other features

Impressive riding. Way above my skill level. Thanks.
How the art of pivoting can come in so handy
I wanna see vancan come to New Zealand one day sooo badly
hopefully next year bro, just think of all the spots he could ride, rotorua, queenstown, welly it would be so good
@@DylanPoulsen cap mabe in chch
@@DylanPoulsen yea hopefully welly. Probably the most underrated mtb city in nz wold be good to get some exposer
This kind of low-speed tech / balance puzzle riding is my jam. Wish it were easier to find.
Dude your getting better and better!progressing and killing it this place looks amazing!🤙
Ever make it out to the east coast to ride? We’ve got some solid rocks waiting for you here in Virginia if you do!
I live in virginia too
Borders are closed
@@evancapozella2343 nice - check out my channel - I ride based out of Charlottesville and highlights lots of mountain trails west toward WVA
@@benbaker6174 yes - I just meant in general or when they aren’t closed before the pandemic
@@FoCoFlowShow yeah that would be cool to sre
Great video, nice riding. Every time that guy laid his bike down on its right hand side I cringed, glad his derailleur isn't bent.

I think the phase of the day is "nice little drop"
Soooo Rad! I'd Love to do a Canada trip one of these days.
Always a good day when there’s a new VanCan video. That stump is so much harder than it looks.
Solid! I was up there yesterday morning. Second log ride you hit, my front tire slipped off. Introduced my face to the log, and Broke my helmet lol
Woodlot definitely brings the goods and gets the blood flowing
Nic, you should come to the East Coast and ride Highland Mtb Park, super fun amazing place and there is much more around it!
Cool Trails. Love all the wood and unique challenges.
Feature that predate long low and slack. Showing some serious control there. Very impressive.
Your channel is so cool! I love every one of your videos! Nice riding btw
2:30 - Amazing to be able to go through a tree trunk like this!
sweet , i rode there a lot back in 2002-2004 it was pretty hype for stunts back then!
This place looks incredibly challenging on a modern bike, holy crap!
That looks fun, it must be awesome to live in BC, Canada
Great to see another Lapierre fan...even if it’s just the jersey🤙🏼
Wow crazy woodwork. Nice riding 👍
hey! If youre wanting to get a little saucy try out guava jellie at Ledgeview, junkyard zombie is really good too.
Such fun riding! Wonder if the old bikes can get around those turns without needing to endo turn...
That looks like fun for days man, way to keep it straight on those skinnies
Nice riding, looks super fun!
I once 50'd that hip at the top of blood donor. Forgot it was as big as it was, came out of the corner and took one casual pedal in too easy of a gear and went for it. It was a bad time.
Sunday funday. Did the same lines you did 😂 never rode mandatory caution before. Definitely going to put it on my hit list more
Nice ride! The Woodlot is on my to do list.
whenever I try freeride it normally turns into a kneeride ahah
Mine is often a "freeride" over the bars.
It’s not crashing it’s just random gravity checks
one of my favorite channels
love this sport, congratulations beautiful video :)
awesome trail center ..droppers delight!
amazing trails ! Just like thus old disorder films riding on the north shore.
I would love to see a video comparing your feeling of your ok’d sram code RSC brakes vs your new set up. What you like and don’t like.
Well I dislikes the modulation on the codes and how hard the lever was to pull. My TRPs solve both those problems.
Damn these trails seems old, great riding even when icy
Bro ur gonna grow more and you deserve more subs than you have because of they way you talk to people and ride your bike...sick vid
Sick slow tech riding brotha! I need to up my game on that stuff lol.
Damn this place looks so cool haha!Great video!
I think you have the best sounding bike on yt, the reassuring sounds work a treat.
Very cool track! 👍
8:48 I wouldn't call it drops to flat more like drops to not a landing
That’s what drop to flat means
Definitely check out Heckle and Jekyll next time you get out there.
Awesome trail!
I need to ride this trail!
So refreshing to see something different... Kinda tired to always see the usual North shore stuff
Cool runs fun fun fun!!
Love your vid i really won't to be as good as you even though i can do single blake track and nice jumping dude
Trp brakes look so fresh
I love when he says its how u doin
That guy in orange is kinda sus.
Fun day!
Favourite TH-camr🚲
Where are those trails ? I need to check it out
Close to Home Will Be Riding That 😎 Whats The Access ?
pretty epic if i do say so myself👌
Sick! Loved the vid!
I wish I would live there.
what trail was the last one with all the drops?
Hey man! That looks like fun! What gimbal do you use when you film?
He doesn’t use a gimbal, he uses a GoPro hero 9 on his chin bar of his full face.
@@dawsonwoody1483 ah gotcha.
So does that bike ever feel like its slack or not slack or not slack at all
Damn good video.
How small of a bike do you think it would take to ride that corkscrew thingy without having to do any trials-y hopping maneuvers?
Some from the 2000s
Why isn’t the bike van can rides in the information, and what tires are you using?
I live in Southern California and have no idea what tires are used in that mossy, wet, muddy terrain
I’m using the versus tires versustires.com
And I don’t put all my bike info In the description because that spot is reserved for brands I partner with.
So the question is: if you were to do it all over, would you buy the specialized Enduro again?

The enduro is a great bike. It pedals really well. It definitely big but I find still pretty playful for 170/170. I prefer being over biked than under.
@@VanCan sweet. Thanks!
What hubs are you running on your enduro and do you notice pedal kickback?
i9 hydra. Not when I’m riding
10:17 -Noice
100th comment, and i wanted to ride here until i noticed that I've only been mtbing for 4 months lol
Giant killer... i wonder how they named that trail?
Jordan boostmaster has entered the chat
Hi great video. What tires do yoy ride? I thought you run maxxis assegai but it doesnt look like it to me at all.
bit.ly/Versus-Tires
Thanks for answer. Never heard of them but they look pretty sweet i might get one pair to check them out.
How long have you been riding?
Mtb 3 years. Bmx 15

I wonder how many derailleurs hangers have bent here, it is easy to smash you derailleur falling off skinny's
Been too long since the last video!
I think you should down a size on the bars. They always seem to get in the way on them shore features
do you know why the yt youth jeffsy bikes are sold out?
Is it possible for a trail to be....cute?
i think u should cut your bars down a lil bit, for the type of trail your ride 780 should be plenty wide
Early gang
Most freeride bikes are more like enduro bike just beefed up.
