I love, love, LOVE, when you approach something, consider it, and ultimately go "nah". It's a commendable amount of restraint that more people need.
happens when you get older and don't want to wait a year for injuries to heal that used to heal in 2 months :/
"Dangerous" Dave
@@rubenz9816 you say that but you wouldn’t do any of this would you
@@rubenz9816 Dangerous. Not deranged.
@@eldercat5863 I don't call myself dangerous lol. But I do like mtb jumps. Also, I'm just joking around.
Finally, somebody who is honest and dares to say "I don't do this" on camera.
409 like and no comments??? Let me fix that
I'm more of a hiker/trekker, and honestly before seeing your vids I always thought of mountain bikers as hotheads, but y'all are just as chill as the rest of us mountain enjoyers it turns out
I just love being outdoors whether on two feet or two wheels 👍
I upgraded to mtb after being a hiker for a long time. I just realized i like going fast and id rather be zooming than walking. Still go on a hike every now and then to get outside.
@@Spamua13nice bro enjoy!
get a bikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
From my experience it's the hikers that act like Karens and like they "own" the trail. Not saying all of them but I've been b1tched at by a hiker ON A MTB TRAIL 😂 I was flabbergasted! 😂😂
is it just me or is the sound the bike makes when running over mud and sticks the most satisfying sound ever
One of my fav things about these videos
It's the thumping of tires over rocks for me
Yeah. The rocks. Buhddddddddddddddddnt
All sounds of a mountain bike are satisfying
Not just you
4:55 This is the most important lesson for solo rides. Thank you!
Yes.
for real.
I truly appreciate you show your thought before doing a jump, or something dangerous, and you aren't afraid to bail on something that isn't smart for your situation.
and craziest part is go pro effect doesnt do these obstacles justice!
I am bed bound with severe ME, so I can't get out, but I love the feeling of freedom and fun that you share with your videos. Thank you so much!
Loved the trail and the riding. So much cool woodwork. Thank you as well for showing again that there's no shame in walking away from a feature that you aren't feeling that day or has just too much risk for the situation you are riding in. (And damn that one rockface looked steep. I can't even imagine how steep it must have been in real life.)
These trail videos are real fun to watch. The activity itself lives somewhere inbetween "this looks fun" and "yea but I would die tho".
I admire your skill level, and respect for smart choices not to ride things "out of your domain", keep great content coming ;)
i like how your name is dangerous dave and yet you make some of the most sound decisions to guard your mortality that many others wouldnt
I see that everybody else is thinking what I am thinking. I love your honesty. I plan to get into riding soon and it is encouraging to see someone just say "nope" and hit the brakes as well as get off the bike and make sure they feel safe doing something. Thank you for showing a concern for safety and approaching things intelligently. You have earned a new subscriber.
That skinny at 3:07 was insane even with the go-pro effect, couldn't imagine it in real life lol- I would never hit that! Specifically the belt feature, that looked really gnarly.
If someone didn't already say it in the 500+ comments I will. This was like watching a bike themed Indiana Jones movie. The biking was great and I couldn't wait to see what crazy ancient trick feature was around the next corner. Nice work as usual!
so exciting! i admire the control u have on the mountain. i respect how u know limits and make smart decisions involving risks, especially since many aspiring mountain bikers watch ur videos. people get so hurt doing dumb stuff, and u inspire people to consider risks.
That first set of features was so sketch and I love the way you did it, I wouldn’t have! As a relative beginner MTBer seeing guys like you clearly better than me still have those notes, doubts and multiple attempts is rlly encouraging
This is my favourite TH-cam channel by far,
easily the best quality of content I've seen from a mountain biking channel
Keep up the good work Dave! 👍
All three of them: Dale Stone and VanCan also!
i haven't 'mountain-biked' since I was 15 and I'm hitting 36 now, but these vids really enable me to live just a little bit precariously through you, thanks! =)
Get a bike and get out there. The learning curve is fast. I started at 47.
Love seeing you ride Moose! Never seen someone clean the SLF skinny before. Great riding!
Man, your riding continues to amaze me. I had some serious anxiety just watching you ride a few of those features!
Much love and respect to the short kings out there kicking ass and making sweet content! Dudes don't get enough recognition out here.
Love your chuckle when you accomplish a jump or something that was really hairy. Stay safe!!!
Man that belt on that old wooden feature!!! Nice work 🎉
I don’t know why, but I watch his videos before bed because the sound of the wheels on sticks, rocks, and dirt is satisfying to me, but he always ends up stressing me out with those jumps, yet I STILL DO IT. I DONT KNOW WHY I WAS BORN THIS WAY.
Oh my goodness, this is scary to watch, no matter ride. I'm glad you didn't take certain risks being alone & under the weather. Passing on such wisdom to others around safety & riding within one's limits is extremely important to avoid injury or even death.
I knew the bottom looked familiar from the Loam Ranger. Smart man to not take chances riding solo. It's more fun to ride tomorrow than get hurt.
Yeah, I thought I recognized it from Ryan, Eric, Yuka, and Antoine riding there, then Dave said the bit about the air ambulance and I was sure it was the same step-up.
so crazy seeing the different skills and comforts of riders. I'd rather go at the step up than like ANY of the skinnys you do haha
I love seeing the trail progression! I'm always seeing videos where dudes blow through the trail nbd, cool seeing the way it actually is
This trail is why I still run old school bar widths. Love this trail so much and been riding forever. 🤘🏼
Run a 700 on my hardtail and it feels like a perfect balance.
Dangerous Dave: I have a kid in day care
Me: wow. that IS dangerous!
this is simply mind boggling how good this guy is.

You can not see or feel the steepness of the trail on video, but considering the acceleration, short time needed for speed increase in case of not using brakes, takes my breath away for sure. Really impressive and brave. Good luck, man!
Great stuff man! Respect for not doing anything too stoopid😄sometimes it’s so tempting 🤘🏻
I enjoyed this as your virtual passenger. Thanks for being conscientious and keeping us safe! 😄
this guy's self control is unbelievable. to look at something, KNOW you could do it, think that it looks so fun, and still decide not to just because you know how wrong it could go. that is seriously 1 in a million. i could never do that, and neither could anyone else watching.
As someone who has been skiing their whole life I find your videos very exciting to watch even though I have no interest in taking up mountain biking as a sport.
I'm a lifelong roadie and got my first MTB last month. I've only been out on my own (Las Vegas) a few times and I quickly realized I have little idea of what I am doing! The way you break down things and explain your approach is very helpful.
Dave you never cease to amaze me man ! I suck at skinny's so I live vicariously through you mostly. Alot of times i'm squirming in my seat like I'm in some sort of pain and making all kinds of vocal noises when I am watching your videos and my wife gives me looks at me like I'm from Mars. Great ride
I appreciate the honesty in your video. I am starting out riding and it’s good to see reality not just edited video with only the good. THANKS!!
this dude's channel is such a chill and pleasant vibe
I gotta say this had me on the edge of my seat and nervous the whole time I was watching this! I'm a skier who skis the trees, but this was nerve-wracking to watch!
idk why but this is the calmest mtb vid ive ever seen watched the whole thing without any skips and was glued ngl voice was kinda soothing w vid
Agree with See Wut, respect for the restraint and putting safety above all else. Live to ride another day :) Excellent video btw
Respect for being safe brother. I've had two friends killed in the past 3 years. Have fun and live to talk about it.
Your videos are very soothing for my mental health and fun for my disabled soul.
I absolutely admire your intelligence, and forethought, towards sketch things. It shows you are using your brain! To have fun does not mean you have to forego caution.
During the video when you ride t-dub and you where talking about the wood work that goes nowhere, it used to go down the river bed to the gully. There is a sick set of gaps and a whale tale
The ability to say "nah I ain't doin this" is rare but extremely valuable skill
Finally!!! A proper video of SLF. I'm too chicken to ride the trail and I've always wanted to know what was down it. I'm sure it's way gnarlier than your video makes it out to be. Also, you made T-dub look like a cake walk. Hats off, sir. Love your vids, btw!
I was at the Valmont bike park in Boulder a couple years back and there's this little skills practice trail with a log (it's flattened on top and stuck to the ground -- you're no more than like 8" off the ground when you're on it.) I'd never ridden one (just not common here, at least on trails I have ready access to) and consider myself to have good balance, so I cavalierly rolled onto it at probably
Who MAKES these insane death courses!?!?! So much effort for something so few will even think about attempting, always blows my mind
The big northamerican woods and hills make mountainbiking so casually doable I am getting envious
I'm pretty sure that step up around 12:30 was on a BCPOV video and it bucked them pretty hard. (I think it was his attempt to get over his Step-up curse).
Yes.
just got into mountain biking a few weeks ago and i wouldnt die from a bike falling on me on this trail, i would die from the pure anxiety of this trail
I'm not really into mountain bikes. Dirtbikes are faster, and doesn't require pedalling. But your videos are very relaxing to watch. I love it man
A really nice video. I am injured right now so this felt a little like riding myself :) I also appreciate how you addressed not to take risks, when biking alone!
I still need to get up to Moose (from Lethbridge). Super cool trails and some crazy woodwork! Reminds me of all the old school mtb I grew up with. Happy riding!
Sorry to have missed that day! Man you killed those skinnies. Come on back and we'll check that step-up off the list.
I'll watch you hit it 😜
This kind of biking isnt my thing but i must say you do make it look very fun! I love watching your videos!
Man I love your vids. youre safe and sensible but still awesome fun to watch cause youre so skilled!!! Keep up the great work
Holy crap,your amazingly talented. I’m watching the video and I’m just thinking to myself how much willpower,strength and agility you have to be daring enough to bring yourself to do this. Me personally,I always like to try so I’d totally do it but I know I’d be the slowest one there cause my breaks would be on 90% of the time
Greay riding as usual! I think you made the right call not jumping the big step up while being alone. I have seen people with a lot oess ability hit it on video before so I'm sure you'd have no issue, but i agree it's better to be extra cautious when by yourself.
Watching your riding is so sick i love the watching the raw riding and editing style
I hike the Colorado mountains and bike in my city but you inspiring me to take my bike to the mountains and see what I can do 💯 thanks Homie I appreciate you
Some of those man-made obstacles… I have to ask what were they thinking? IMHO, any obstacle that interferes with the intended trail flow should be removed or modified to accommodate the flow. You can have more technical sections on the same trail, for sure, but those should be marked as such so you know a particular section is gonna be slow and technical. And, even for those, there should be a go-around if you just wanted to continue riding along with the flow. Great video - love your approach to solo riding. Clearly a man with a family!
hey i helped make this trail back in 2010 haha. cool to see a video about it
Thank you for work!! Such a rad trail 🤘
Gosh, that hub with the tires crunching the dirt/ rocks. So freaking soothing. Another great video as always!
I've never really thought about mountain biking before but your videos make it seem so interesting
i got myself recently a used mtb scott, can't wait to ride it!
It would be so satisfying to watch someone extremely talented ride this with perfect accuracy
Its a smart rider, a smart man period that knows when not to do it if it doesn't feel quite right! Kudos to you!
Bro my hands were sweating watching that sketch section at the beginning. Nice work!
I love the fact you say don’t do stupid stuff, while riding by yourself, I have to stop and pass on things when I’m out by myself
07:03 you know its steep when even gopro makes it look intimidating
This guy is so chill and I love it
That traction on the bike amazes me
i dont even know ow to ride a normal bike but im addicted to these videos lol, keep on with the good content man!
9:10 there is a cut of to a harder part of the trail called the gully, highly recommend It.
I’m too stoned for this but I can’t stop watching. Great content dude.
I was on a bike trip to a new frontier and found out in hard way the road is damaged by overflowing rivers and had to go through creeks and rocks and carry my bike up hills and no one around to help either .!
😂😂😂
Exciting 😂
I'm not sure why I'm watching these videos. I just started watching them yesterday. I have the worst coordination, and I'm super slow at making decisions, and I wear glasses etc, but I still really enjoy these videos lol
I love the ride along. Thanks you sharing the ride
I never was into that stuff, but since a few days, I only watch stuff like that - great video :)
Just started riding and this made me even more nervous about going on trails 😂
Fantastic ride, you deserve lots of 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍for that ride. Goodonya from Oz
These are like the most beautiful roller-coaster rides
0:50 that's like a DPS check at the start of an MMORPG dungeon. I would have just turned back 🤣🤣
There's something soothing about your voice: like an anime villain character that becomes your friend.
You Absolutely Know It's Steep When Dave Is Going Slow😬 (1:26)
I loved this and it was so relaxing
Just a suggestion but,since you have a big frame you could probably put 2 bottle holders on there. 1 for water and the other for anything else you want to bring that is bottle-shaped.👍
So tight! I wish I had gotten into MTB when I still lived in Alberta. Although now I get to ride the North Shore a few times a week so I can't complain.
Your videos are real life dangerous dave! You leave it all on the table. We like that about you. You gained a subscriber or 2
At 7:47 , little did these guys know that they got the rare opportunity to speak with Dangerous Dave and they passed it up!!!
That trail mad risky i feel like i would die thats why i stick with goalkeeping but mad respect your the king of biking 👑
Love you videos. Finally a great rider doing povs! Bicolor cockpit look sick by the way.
Looks like there used to be sick builders in that area! Congrats with your success building an online presence and the good newd that came with it. Doesn't seem fake at all! enjoy more trails!
I am a pilot. I was very crazy for using a mountain bike in trails like that, I have did skydiving. Ziplines and many more. I would love to do trails with you but I am in Canada and my nationality is from Philippines. Have a nice day!
These types of videos are always cool to watch just to see the wood work, the trails and the challenge trying to complete the obstacle but I wouldn't Wana try it. Seems like the butt ends up beat up because of all the bumps and rocks
Hahaha this trail was built back in the golden years of freeriding. We had ~650mm wide and 25mm thick bars, everyone was riding an sc bullit/super8, norco vps, or a big hit with either a boxxer or a monster T. This is way before flow and jump trails ever became a thing. You were considered a good rider if you could even make it down the mountain on SLF, even if you bypassed the wood stuff. It is one of the steepest trails on moose and I highly doubt any insurance company would allow this on a resort hill these days. Most people don't even ride SLF anymore. lol
Nice trails, great riding, but bear spray! 7:30. Geez I’m happy kangaroos are herbivores!
