I've started my son on your videos and he's trying to ride "skinnies" (the edge of curbs, cement parking spot dividers, stuff like that) around our neighbourhood. I keep telling him when he's big enough we will find some good trails here in Ontario or maybe even save for a trip west. We both enjoy watching your vids, so thanks for posting!
I dont know where you are in Ontario but in the states Copper Harbor, Michigan and in Marquette Michigan there is some great riding from beginner all the way up to expert
Also from Ontario. But you shouldn’t keep your son off of good trails till he’s big enough. Should take advantage of him being young and small and pack as much progression in as you can. I live out west and you wouldn’t believe how good some of these kids are at such a young age! I know it’s probably scary to watch as a father but you’re short changing your little man on some major progression, you wouldn’t believe what these kids can do if you let them loose!
First time I rode this trail was on my Norco hardtail, back when my arms and legs were my only suspension. After fighting the fullsus vs HT theory for many many years, This had to be the first trail I hit with my New! 2020 Jeffsy and it was like a whole new trail. Good vid, love the bike!
I don’t remember writing on it but I just remember looking at the seat on my dad‘s bike and what fun that it was! I think that gave me my love for Bicycle’s to the day. That is such an awesome thing, and when he gets big enough obviously the tagalong Bicycle video of the dude carving corners with his kid in tow is an awesome one too! Enjoy the ride my friend!
You guys inspired me to ride all this (plus Skull) earlier this week for the first time in many many years. Full respect to Digger for these legendary trails. All stuff after the fork to Big Stupid is just as scary after all these years. The loose stuff and marbles is almost as scary as the wet too! Really nice ride.
Mini DD doing manuals with Dad! How awesome is that! You and Nic continue to impress, Dave. I am still not sure which bike Nic looks more comfortable on, but I am thinking the 27.5 is starting to be a fav.
Hit Lower Ladies by accident (long story) a couple of months back. That is one sketchy trail way beyond my abilities. Walked most of it; rode parts. Had a wee accident on the Monster coaster that sidelined me for a while. It’s ridiculous how confidently you and your crew ride this stuff.
My experience with riding any sort of bikes is always the same: Downhill: No Energy Usage Straight: Pretty good 0.02% Uphill: Energy failing immediately
To think ladies only is a year older than me is crazy. Imagine riding that on an early 90s bike or most likely a late 80s bike 😅 I would have never taken my panasonic mountian cat down that.
@@ddangerousddave I actually was late to the game, so I have it with the feet all the way down and have shifted the saddle back a bit. My brother has had his son on his since he was 2 I believe(turning 4 soon).
20,25 years ago, do you really think the trail elements are that old? When I think of the bikes from 20 years ago, it must have been even more difficult...
The trail elements have been replaced over time by the original builder Todd "Digger" Fiander and the North Shore Mountain Bike Association. I started riding in 1997 and it's hard to believe that people rode these trails on those bikes haha.
You are following too close. Annoying to watch and must be annoying for the guy in front as well. If you wanna go faster drive in front, otherwise keep some distance.

@@matthewbush2870 it's more that he has to grow into his frame. He's too big for his old bike but not quite big enough for his new (to us) frame.
Great to hear! He can always practice some other basic trials skills to work on the technical side of things, and for a good challenge!
Just two neat dudes riding bikes
Almost t-bones @VanCan off a cliff, "oop, this isn't good".
I warned him
classic Dave
Seeing how my little is faster than me, is there something for adults on kids bikes?

Love to see videos like this where the trail is being ridden and not "sessioned"
Your boy is adorable, so looking forward to my daughter being old enough to come along with me using a Mac Ride or similar system.

Man, that trail's amazing! Thanks for posting your vids as it gives me so much to aim for in getting from Australia to the North Shore!

I love watching you ride Dave, so smooth and fluid. How are you liking that SQ Labs saddle?
I've got a macride. It is indeed awesome. Adjustable, easy to install, great bonding with the kiddos.
Very good ride on a very difficult trail. Well done
Where you always hack around is the madness. Thank you.
Greetings from Switzerland
What weel size do you use?
Mullet. 29" front and 27.5" rear. I did a bike check here: th-cam.com/video/6mB9xxhU9qM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DangerousDave
Have you ever been to Bentonville AR. I love your videos but never tried this looks like fun
Never been there but it sounds like it has lots of riding

One of the cool things about your videos, is that even people with no interest in biking find these amazing
Yes nice wheelie! I asked for wheelies awhile back yay
I watch these just for the little laughs during the ride. 🤣
Can't talk and climb. Proceeds to wheelie like it ain't nobodies business haha
Love that trail

Your kid is so lucky 🙌
Helllllll yeah bro !!!! You guys are duin the thing 🤟😎🤙
you guys are soooo skilled id love to be that good well done fellas
So.... jealous, canada has some real fine landscape for mtb ! wish I was 20 yrs younger (I'm 47)......would move there in a heart beat 🤘
Enjoyed how chatty you were this time (and always love your laugh). :)
2:30-2:37 that looked cool

Have you been on bmx before you started downhill because you ride fantastic!
Epik trail 🤘👍❤❤❤
Love my Mac-Ride, almost as much as my 4yr old daughter does haha
Nice! How did the fit/setup change as she got older?
@@ddangerousddave I actually was late to the game, so I have it with the feet all the way down and have shifted the saddle back a bit. My brother has had his son on his since he was 2 I believe(turning 4 soon).
"do you even ride your bike?"
lol
Some pretty good banter in this one lol
DD posts a vid.....automatic 👍, then settle back and watch...
Still my fave mtber!
Thanks Steve!
What's the longest time you've held a track stand?
Good question. I could probably track stand for an indefinite period of time. Or at least until I get bored :p
Nice video 🤩👌
Seems like fun nice
only as safe as u are
Would you ever attempt all of these balance tricks clipped in? I never see you really leave the pedals so shouldn’t be an issue for you…
Wouldn't be too bad on these trails in particular, but it's not something I'm keen on. I like to know i can jump off at a moments notice
Second! Love the videos! Super aick
I can see bad times being had if someone followed too close at the teeter totter

@@ddangerousddave great 👍
"do you even ride your bike?" Damn, burn.
My wife would have a heart attack if I purchased that children seat 😅
My friend is Dangerous Dan :)
None of Diggers true work still exists, the trail tread is there but yeah, those guys used to build trails 30 feet up in the trees
