Always a good day when a trail builder gets some recognition for their work. Thanks for the video guys.
Always! You're welcome.
Totally agree 👏👏👏
Big thanks to Jim for helping to kick off such an amazing trail network! Credit Line is one of the best in Squamish!
Couldn't agree more Remi!
How many Remi's can Squamish handle???
Very cool to meet the guy who has built some of your favourite trails!
What you three are creating is what we should all strive for. Sure you’re all fast AF, but your sense of community is what makes biking rad, and connects us all in some weird frigging way. Hats off, keep on please. 👊🏽💨
The three of you ride like a professional pianist plays. You make riding look relaxed, flowing and doable. Keep up the good work.
That was so good! The best result of a mid-life crisis ever? THANK YOU JIM!
Awesome video. Simple conversation with a cool dude interspersed with riding clips from the trails he is talking about. I don't know which one of you does your editing or comes up with storylines but it is legitimately great, this channel is so far from a joke now!
Thanks Peter. Remi edited this one with Miranda's help on story line. But really we just winged it!
Nice one!! Thanks to Jim for those thousands of hours!
So cool guys! Thanks for introducing Jim to us all!
I rode Hoods in the Woods in 2009 during the BC Bike Race, it inspired lots of the trails I build back home in Wicklow, Ireland. Great video 👍
That’s super cool!
Oh man, this is unreal. When I was in Squamish for university I did so many Credit Line laps. One of my favorite all time trails, so thankful to Jim for building the trails that allowed me and my friends to have so much fun over the years!
That's awesome to hear!
I think you still have some KOM’s around here Evan!
@@dvrgntminds Oh man, that's awesome. You three stay away from those trails, haha!
I remember finding Credit line when it was first opened. I was riding up to Alice lake and noticed a new trail coming out. I hiked up it to find where it started. One of my favs from living there for 3 years.
Still one of our favourites! It's a bit more raw now but that's exactly what we need. Like we said in the video, we believe that many of Jim's trails make you a better rider.
Great video and props to Jim. Well done MGM, keep them coming.
So interesting to learn a little about the local history of some of the trails.
That's what we thought!
As a builder myself, I really enjoyed that & would love to shake Jim's hand🤘
We're all lucky to have builders like yourself and Jim that give us a place to escape to! Glad you enjoyed it and happy building.
Lynn Valley proud.
having only been riding in squamish for one week , ive gravitated to and ridden Jims trails without knowing anything about the building , value added is a pure work of art , and credit line a real test of mind and form , long may janky flow live on !!
Glad you're enjoying them! It was great to run into you the other day! - Jesse
The fact that people travel from all over to ride your trails speaks volumes about the quality of your trail building. Thanks for all your hard work Jim.
Exactly. We're so lucky to have people like Jim shape our community and lives!
Thank you Jim!
Agreed! Thank you Jim!
Some day I hope to get to ride Jim’s trails 🙏
It was so interesting to hear Jim’s story! I would love to watch more of these features on trail builders, they deserve so much credit for their hard work and contribution to the sport we love 😍
We really enjoyed talking to Jim and we will for sure do a few more pieces like this! So many amazing builders out there that have helped get Squamish to the town that it is.
Awesome idea. I love hearing about how the trails were named.
So did we! Gives you something a little extra to think about when you're riding!
Awesome vid - so worthwhile to get the trail builders recognized & respected for their amazing contributions
NICE ONE JIM!!! Credit Line and Hoods were 2 of my fave trails when we came over 2 years ago... Give that man a cigar! 👍👍👍
If a cigar is what he wants then a cigar is what he will get.
This was a great watch!
Of all the amazing trails we have in Squamish, Credit Line is my favorite. Thanks Jim. Keep on digging!
Ours too! He did a great job with that one and all the others!
Excellent video, well done and thanks to Jim for all his hard work!
Thanks Jim! 🍺
We definitely owe him some beers!

Jim Harvey - even easier to like as a person than his trails.

This makes me feel so much better about never being able to get that climb.
It's a tight one!
Hands allowed
@@dvrgntminds I think I'd need some ropes and maybe an ice axe.
