Congrats on the call out on Bike Mag. Long time fan of the channel. I love the way you ride. Jealous of the terrain you call home. Thanks for all the good content over the years!
Nice video and I wanted to say that it’s one of the few Insta360 videos that doesn’t use silly wide perspective. Some YT channels seem to think that wider is better and the audience ends up watching armpit hair, toes and nostrils. The sides of those videos feel like watching Spaceballs just before they went Plaid. Big thanks for keeping the angle sensible.
Soo good! Best audioout there on the MTB side of things. It's funny, I do some volunteer work and take high school kids out on the trails and they never stop talking, yelling, hollering... Sometimes I ask them to just listen to the sound of their bike connecting with the trail. I explained to them how I have zen like moments out of the trails just listening to the sound of my tires connecting with the dirt and rock. They thought I was crazy and didn't get it at all. Until one of the kids came to me a few weeks later saying "I got it, I know what you mean now... the sounds, it's amazing!" Never too young to learn and never too old to learn.
Idk about Dale current setup (true extremely silent) but I can assure you TRP's clutch can be adjusted so tight that you get ZERO chainslap, almost still shifts fine as a bonus. Love it 🥰🤣
TBH I was wondering the exact same, my XT drivetrain was quite noisy until I took 2 links out of the chain, got better, but not as good as Dale, even though I'm running the exact frame!
Perfect winter riding means different things to different people but for me it is the right amount of fluffy white stuff on the ground and glistening in the trees.
Love riding frozen dirt; great traction but it can be a bit abrasive...ask me how I know! Did I miss a full review of the bike frame itself? Have a great week Dale and thanks for more awesome content. Rolling on to 500k!
Thanks, and you too! You won't see a review of this frame as that doesn't align with my conflict of interest standards, but you will see a full bike check very soon!
But how do I know which of these trails provides better value? Or what their wow factor is? Not even their power level? How do I know these trails aren't paying you to ride them? Or mountains are providing you trails in exchange for positive coverage?
Needed this. Are those the LHT’s? Can’t wait to see what you think. Spoiler alert , THEY’RE AWESOME!!!!!got mine for the price of the LH4’s. Website stock was wrong so to make things right the shop gave me the lht’s for lh4 price. So stoked.
Hello, i'm looking to expand my local riding. What are your favourite black or double black trails on all of the mountains in the region? Fromme, Seymour, Cypress, Eagle, Burke, etc. Thanks Dale, great video as usual.
Great list, maybe minus bookus 😅 bullet dodger gap is gnarly. Isn’t there some rather precarious roots in the proposed landing? Kind of a wiggly move at speed regardless. Great vid, I’d love to see more of you riding local lines again.
Are those trails on Burke all fixed or are those the trails unaffected by the rain that destroyed so many trails? I have been riding eagle but would like to switch it up
If you don't have either, I'd definitely get the X4. 8K is quite a bit more than 5.7K in bright environments, bigger capacity and faster charging battery and better removable lens guard options. Both are great options though!
@@DaleStone well, ill let ya know in 6-8 weeks when im back in the saddle again! My wife got back at me for dropping a bottle of vodka on her big toe 18 years ago by dislocating and rupturing my pinky finger at volleyball last night!
while I love your content I have to say that your older footage (couple of years back) on the gopro looked much crisper and less blurry. the dji was nearly as good but the insta360 is a noticable downgrade
Probably some TH-cam compression not jiving with the format/size he is uploading? Just a guess but I notice the lowish quality as well. Pretty sure his footage played directly on his end will look super crisp.
I believe this is a result of YT compression. Insta360 has downsides but based on other channels’ video quality crispness is not one of them. You can also get it to look better by messing around with the TH-cam video quality settings.
This is most likely due to this video being shot on the X4. Although the X4 shoots in 8K when it is reframed the resolution lowers down. If you look at some of dales videos shot with the ace pro 2 you’ll notice it’s a lot crispier and less blurry.

@@DaleStone quick questions what are your settings on it?
Still experimenting! 🫡
@@DaleStone hit me up when you figure them out. Sick videos keep it up.
Flashbanged at 4:02😂

Thanks David, I really appreciate it! 🫡
So smooth, so quiet. It's as if the tires never touch the trail. Nice.
A mountain biker’s lullaby 🥰
Suddenly dawned on me while watching this why you're a fan of decent brakes 😂
Those trails are insane. Beautifully ridden too 👊
Haha, you are very correct! And thanks! 🙂
Dale Stone and Dangerous Dave POV videos on the same day? It's like the glory days! Please keep making this stuff 🙌

I like the rawness of this video

My man how do you achieve such a silent bike? I mean literally 0 chain slap and derailleur slap. just pure tire and suspension noise. I LOVE IT

Haha, agree to disagree Jack! 😆
5:33 And now you can teleport?!? That's unfair!😆
Nobody needs to see what that 5 second block looks like! 🙈
We want some dangerous Dave colabs and vancan when he’s healthy!
Both are high on my list!
You are a phenomenal rider
I think you should add an annual Giant Dale on a Tiny Planet edit to your schedule.
I think my brain would melt trying to storyboard that one! 🫠
Wait I would totally watch that. Bullet dodger tiny planet edition?
Only Dale could smash all of these trails like they’re nothing.
Definite Steve Storey vibes to this one
I choose to interpret that positively. 🙂
Great riding. I would be hospilized under 10sec in there.😂
Phenominal
Yay raw ASMRˆ-ˆ
Just got the camera and hyped to test it on a trail!
That was an insane pace down bullet dodger. Ride safe and great vid.
Maximum SPEED Master with excellent skills GREAT :)
Smooth 🤟 miss the dirt already, snow is fun but being chased by ski patrol on a bike gets old fast.
Almost joking.

Sick ride
fast! haven't ride BD for a long time already, maybe it is about time to hit it again soon🤔
When the snow is deep, remember to ski
I really need to get out there to ride!
A Dale Stone video that isn't a review, that's pretty rare these days 😆
Haha that's true. But I will always have a soft spot for pure riding videos!
@@DaleStone me too, the sounds of tire hitting the roots and hard dirt is just too good to resist 😅
Mahalo my dude 😎
Great video and nice change from brake reviews if you weren't still waiting for the Lewis LHT's😢
Yes, more of this! Pretty please! 😂
As for the bounty….a tire or maybe a pair of tires if it’s well documented
Your winter conditions look like my summer conditions.
If only you could feel the below zero temps!
But how do I know which of these trails provides better value? Or what their wow factor is? Not even their power level? How do I know these trails aren't paying you to ride them? Or mountains are providing you trails in exchange for positive coverage?
You win. 😂😂😂
I might have to try that gap you proposed. Il probably case it and roll down a cliff but so be it
The price of progress. 🫡
Pretty similar to winter riding in Waterdown, eh Dale? Lol
Basically the same. 🤪
W manz
Mmmm raw tire and suspension noises
Do you ring the ding IRL while filming or is it added in post?
100% irl 🛎🛎
@@DaleStone neat! Lovely sound, spur?
Indeed!
Needed this.
Are those the LHT’s? Can’t wait to see what you think. Spoiler alert , THEY’RE AWESOME!!!!!got mine for the price of the LH4’s. Website stock was wrong so to make things right the shop gave me the lht’s for lh4 price. So stoked.
whats your set up on this? is this a chin mount or a chest mount??
I believe I show my chin mount near the beginning
Hello, i'm looking to expand my local riding. What are your favourite black or double black trails on all of the mountains in the region? Fromme, Seymour, Cypress, Eagle, Burke, etc. Thanks Dale, great video as usual.
An underappreciated gem from each mountain in order would be: Bookwus, C-Buster, Trunk Monkey, Full Pull and Upper to Lower Vic's.
@@DaleStone Thanks, i'll add 'em to my list
Great list, maybe minus bookus 😅 bullet dodger gap is gnarly. Isn’t there some rather precarious roots in the proposed landing? Kind of a wiggly move at speed regardless. Great vid, I’d love to see more of you riding local lines again.
I thiiiiink the gap would go past the awful roots...
Just got a wahoo bike computer. This is my first computer and was wondering if I should be concerned about it falling off my bike.
I've never had mine fall off, but the mount has come loose from the bar many times.
interesting... winter riding and everything is green. that's some kind of pine trees?
Douglas Fir and Cedar I believe
Are those trails on Burke all fixed or are those the trails unaffected by the rain that destroyed so many trails? I have been riding eagle but would like to switch it up
Trailforks is up to date!
Is it worth to go for the X4? Can't decide between the X4 and X3. Do you have any recommendations if i want to film pov style footage like you film?
If you don't have either, I'd definitely get the X4. 8K is quite a bit more than 5.7K in bright environments, bigger capacity and faster charging battery and better removable lens guard options. Both are great options though!
@@DaleStone Thank you for your answer!
When the snow is deep, remember to, uhm, actually I'm from Texas so I'm pretty sure snow is fake, much like the moon.
@dalestone RE: Challenge - Don't tempt me with a good time AKA - Trip to the hospital and the doghouse for a month...
That's only if you don't make it... 🫡

Yes
you in chilliwack??
Nope!
your garmin must be holding on for dear life
Sweet video, I like the footage although I can't say I like the 360 over the dji or gopro to be honest.
“Lens distortion” is an incredibly fitting first trail to ride for this video.
The trees are almost literally perfectly straight. 😂
I’m just joking lol. The footage is actually pretty good! I don’t know if I would personally ever get a 360 cam but you did a good job editing here.
while I love your content I have to say that your older footage (couple of years back) on the gopro looked much crisper and less blurry. the dji was nearly as good but the insta360 is a noticable downgrade
I noticed the same in the last video but didn't give it a second thought but you're absolutely right!
Probably some TH-cam compression not jiving with the format/size he is uploading? Just a guess but I notice the lowish quality as well. Pretty sure his footage played directly on his end will look super crisp.

Great video, but that camera is just not as clear as the other one you use.
Hi! What happened to the video quality?
