Think You Could Conquer This Line? // El Diablo & Cougar Ridge // Bellingham, WA
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2018
- Ever seen a bike trail or line that looks easy in a video... I think we all have. Join me and my buddy Jesse as we hit a newly sanctioned trail in Bellingham called Cougar Ridge and take on one section called El Diablo that looks much scarier in real life!
A big thanks to the WMBC for getting trails like this on a map! I'm a proud member who appreciates what they do so much! Check them out here: wmbcmtb.org/

So I have to know.. would you hit this line? Let me know below!
You sent it perfectly!
Wouldn't have done it different!
No
Help me find this man, looks rad. I see you rode up the south side, took last call/dog patch... and then I lost track?? Where is that fork in the fire road? Is that first part wonderland? I need to find this trail, it looks awesome and it's not on Trailforks yet...
Nice riding btw, see you on the trails...
YYYEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!
Can you export some of that loam to the east coast? We could use some.
If only it was that easy! We’d love some sun in the winter time, but right now we’re good to go.... for at least another day till it rains 😂
I never stretch, although I probably should. Those trails are super rad! Trail forks app just added the cougar trail. It is so rad that all these amazing trails being built or added to the official galby trails. PS i rode my bike today!
If it looks steep on camera it is freaking steep.
Isn't that the truth!
Great video as always, one of my favourite channels to watch. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Sean, that means a lot!
I hate to say it, but the new camera setup is dialed. I really like it. After riding the new full face last weekend, I'm tempted to try this. Great video. That hill you guys dropped was soooooo massive when you saw it from the bottom. You are a stud!
Thanks Rob! And yeah, the super DH is a great helmet for this setup!
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm going to go ride that drop this weekend!
Translation: I'm going to stand at the top thinking about riding it for 5 minutes before realizing I suck.
You have great commentary and production value. Subscribed. Thanks,
That's so much man! Both for the comment and for subscribing! Stoked to have you on board!
What a badass run! That descent with the drop looked sketchy as hell from the bottom! Great riding, the both of you!
Great video, as always. I am no way ready for that steepness yet! ha ha
The camera angle & smoothness really made an impression on me, then I saw the comments about the chin mount & gp7. Yes, its certainly a good setup 👍
First off...lovin’ the Hero 7 vid!! And second…I WISH THIS TRAIL WAS IN MY BACKYARD!!🔥💪🏻
Stoked to hear you love it man! And I wish everyone had trails this close to home!
Way steeper in person!!! You’re so lucky to live up there Josh. Can’t wait to possibly move up there and get some more riding in with you!
It always looks more chill through a screen! Can't wait for you to make a jump up to mountain bike paradise up here!
Awesome MTB Nooo. You cant leave So Cal!!!
You've got the helmet mount dialed. I changed up the angle of mine last weekend it was not for the better. Still have to play with it a bit. Trail looks rad!!
I think I've got it where I want it! Pretty stoked on how it's looking!
Chin mount is the best btw.
That looked steep AF even with the gopro effect. HUGE roll. I'd have to take a look at it in person to see if I wanted to give it a shot. I've done ones that steep but not that big. And ones that big but smooth roll in to a jump. But nothing that big, rooty and steep all together. Props for hitting it!
I would totally hit that line...if I had nothing to live for. That looked so sketchy but you guys made it look easy.
Haha thanks Brian - one day you'll get there man!
EZ ... I would definitely hit it, no problem, for sure, probably flip it... just don't ask me to show you.
Haha! These are the exact thoughts that go through my head when I watch other people's POV footage!
Pfft i would also 360 backflip it all the while im eating a sandwich
Uuuuugggghhhhhh dude. So sick! We have trails like that back here in NZ but half the gnar of this. I might need to come here.
3xploreNZ have you ridden Wairoa Gorge, Nelson?
Not yet. will be in February :) Does it compare man?
Thank for the cool comment. We are heading over to Washington State, next week from the UK, so checking out good stuff to ride. These vids help so much.
Dude, it looks so lush and green. Great video and that new camera seems to be working well. 👍🏻👍🏻
the janky lead in was so pretty with the wide set trees and fern undergrowth
What a drop. I wouldn't have the balls to drop in. Respect 👊🏻
Thanks Stefano! Who knows, maybe if you were there you would have done it!
Epic send down that drop/roll! Kudos!
The Steep Part with the Drop was super Awesome! I saw a few videos from you the last Days, so i think i have to subscribe now! =)
Thanks man and thanks so much for subscribing! Every awesome person like yourself makes a big difference!
Finally committed to doing a steep chute yesterday that I'd put off for ages, feels great when you do it. Wasn't as tall as that though, looks sweet.
This has been my backyard for the last 3 years!
Nice riding!
Video never shows how steep a trail really is.
Oh and I love the GoPro Hero 7 footage!
Thanks man! And yeah steepness is difficult to show! The hero 7 did a great job though
Warm up before physical exercise, stretch afterwards! Stretching before just increases your chance of injury because during the physical activity at hand you'll be able to stretch pass the point of your normal flexibility and you can tear the muscle. Amazing line BTW!!!
If ever I get across the pond to ride i'd love to have a go at this one!
You’re young. You’ll find out soon enough what havoc not stretching can do later. I stretch before riding big adventure bike. Way better rider due to it. Helps you stay limber on the bike and reaction times tend be faster.
Which Transition was Jesse riding? I’m up in BC and want to head down to try one out.
Great video Josh, I like the chin mount!
Thanks Tomi! Stoked to hear you dig it!
I live and ride in Colorado and am jealous of this trail! Wish this trail was here :(
chin mounted hero 7 is really good!
I'm stoked you like it Jon - I thought it turned out pretty well!
Thank those trail builders.. awesome sentinel it rips
It feel's like I felt that steep drop! Well done mate!
Man you have some cool trails. Gotta come ride that area some day.
Two thumbs up for stating " climbing is best"
You know the trail is steep when it looks like that on a GoPro. haha You made it look easy
this trail looks killer!
I sent the two drops on Double Down a few days ago and I thought those were big. Looks like this is the next level up!
I would for sure put this above those - but nothing you couldn't do my man!
Great riding guys.!
Also, this video is seriously lacking in Cougars.
You got me there!
The ones that live in the woods or the ones from LA?
i would have settled for either! :D
Keep up the good work Josh!
Thanks man, will do!
nice! youve got that camera setup dialed so good. couldnt tell if its with a gimbal or not. if not it's even better!
Looks sweet! I have got to get up to the PNW to ride. All the ferns and green! Amazing! Man, I'm definitely a desert rat cuz this terrain is unlike anything I've ever ridden.
Your sound is really good bro. I like the new mount too!
Loooove your commentary !
Haha thanks man! Just bringing you guys on a normal ride for me!
Daily MTB Rider Come here to Germany I invite you to stay in our house and ride our home trails ! 😂🤙🏼
I'd love that man! One day I'll get out there!
one word:WOW!
Haha thanks man! Stoked you liked it!
I don’t think I would. I had an anxiety attack just watching your walk up!
That trail looks glorious 😍
I like the new go pro set up very nice
Thanks man! Stoked you like it!
So rad!
Unfortunately a giant tree went down below that giant steep roll and ruined it. Still an amazing trail. I love it. I do cougar ridge with my dog atleast once a week
Roots bloody roots!!
That's the pacific Northwest for you man! Roots everywhere!
wish we had trails like that in scotland
That trail looks rad. I'd give it a go.... probably. GoPro footage has a tendency to flatten the trail so bad and this still looks rediculous. Badass. Keep bringing the vids!!!!!
Bro im digging those gloves. Very nice....
Still not sure on the Hero 7, this is some of the best footage I've seen though. That trail looks super rad!
Good to know man, happy you're liking the footage I'm putting out!
Check out SoPro mounts! Apsolute best way to attach GoPro to full-face helmet 🤟
That is one quiet bike!
I've become addicted on making my bikes as quiet as possible - the sentinel needs some work though!
You did a great job on your Trek. That's for sure
I rode that trail back in 2016, really sweet. Where's the Sentinel?
Lions don't stretch when they go kill their prey.
That makes so much sense now! I was raised by lions ya know!
We might be brothers. I too was raised by lions. Ones with Saber tooth like fangs.
Wrong! They absolutely do. You've never seen cats stretch? Seriously though, if you're going to do athletic activities, you're not immune to the logic of warming up and stretching. You will perform better, suffer fewer injuries and build better muscle. We've got to be smart to survive a cougar attack, even if it's in name only (Cougar Ridge... smell what I did there?)! ;)
I should qualify my previous statement a little bit. I see loads of people, many who are younger, stronger, more skilled and better equipped than I am, who take a 5 mile lap (for instance) then load up the bike and leave. Yes, they can drop me very quickly but I'll go 2-4 times further than they will. Not to impune their cocksmanship, but I have to question how far their lack of staying power extends. (kidding, but not really kidding) :P
Now... "ride every day"?!?! NO!!! You don't work out every day! You must rest and recover. I've been accused of taking things too seriously many, many times but that's just how I roll (and it's served me pretty well... except the hundreds and thousands of times it didn't). That being said, I only really compete with myself when biking (that might change next year when I overcome my schizophrenia) but, even then, I've got to "progress" or I don't think I'd even bother. I probably take myself too seriously though (since I'm not "all that"). ;)

Every time I try to be silly I get lectured. Go watch the Woody Harrelson's movie Zombieland. Perhaps you will see why I typed in this comment. We are quite aware of the importance of stretching. Thanks for looking out for us.
Does the group WMBC build all the trails near Bellingham with volunteer work? Scrolling down that website page, I loved that name for the group of kids "Flying Squirrels". HAHAhahah...great name!
I would say a majority, if not all the trail work they do is driven from volunteers - it's pretty amazing!
Seems like you're having a great time on the new build. Any conditions under which you'd pick the 27.5 patrol or you feelin' right w the senty?
Trails in Washington are so sick.
This has to be near that famous drop in some of Transition's videos! Have you ever sent that if you know what I'm talking about? For reference it's shown at the end of their Scout promotional vid.
Hey, Josh! Looks like an amazing trail that I would love to ride. I think I could do it as I really like and ride allot of that kind of super steep loose stuff. almost identical chutes in my area to that which I have done. Go pro doesn't even do close to justice haha! Not to fond of those pop up meme type things. Just get a little annoying after a while, maybe just tone them down a little? Great riding, great footage! Keep up the good work!
I would love to ride that trail. Looks so sick
It's such a fun trail man! Come out any time to ride it!
Maybe I need to take a trip from the UK over to CANADA!!! I would love to do that!
That's be rad - and I'm right below canada so you can come hang with me here in Bellingham
Sick!!!!!
Love the video but can you count the number of times he said Janky?
Always stretch before doing anything athletic
I see in a previous vid you were rocking a bell super dh. I'm keen on one of these and would like to know your experience with it. I've heard only amazing things from salesmen trying to sell me one...
Perhaps a review vid is in order?
Oh and love your work!
I wish there were some trails like these in northern Germany..
what a time to be alive in bham
New trails are coming faster than ever - it's awesome!
First! is this the GoPro 7 from chin mount?
You got it this time Toogy! And you bet it is!
Awesome! I'm picking up a Hero7 this week and plan to do that for my trip to Windrock this weekend! Is this the onboard audio?
Nice! And yes it is - it's set to stero only with the raw audio at medium - makes for good audio if you ask me!
if you don't mind one more question, what are you using to reduce wind noise?
I've always heard its good to warm up before and stretch afterwards when lifting weights, so I'd assume it'd be the same with riding? I never stretch tho lol
It's a slightly contentious topic :) mountain biking rewards mobility more than absolute strength so stretching for a few minutes beforehand will help you. Hamstrings, calves, and your hips and shoulders generally are probably the most important. You shouldn't stretch hard enough to hurt, just feel a moderate stretch for a minute or so. You can repeat it mid-ride if you start to to tighten up on the bike.
With weight lifting it depends but imo it's similar to mtb for most normal people. In theory stretching reduces your strength a little for a while afterwards, but it's probably better to be lifting with full range of motion and slightly less weight most of the time. I don't lift anymore but I always stretched and foam rolled the muscles I had problems with before lifting (mostly my hamstrings and upper back) and then did a more thorough stretch afterwards. It's not really worth lifting 2% more if you end up with messed up shoulders or whatever because didn't have the right movement pattern. In any case the best thing is to try it yourself and see...
I'm curious if you're using the newly discovered chin bar/GP7 setup in this video. Galby and Chuck have some of the harshest trails for shooting stable video.
You bet I was! This is just a hero 7 under my chin!
That's insane! Especially with the low light conditions. I'm fighting my urge to go with an Evo SS + 5 Session and just jump to the 7 Black. Using a wind sock too?
Hey man, can you go back up there and see if you can find my stomach? I think I dropped it at 7:20! Hell yeah I'm a subscriber, that was sick AF!
Damn!
Intense!
That is so f-in steep man!!
Holy smokes... I gotta go there this summer....
Seriously, World please reopen.
Carona Virus go the f away already...
That bit of puckery nonsense is exactly my cup of tea.
Is that jenky? Or janky? Great video.
hi are you using a gimbal? footage looks pretty smooth. if not, what camera or software do you use for stabilization?
I'm actually using the hero 7 with hyper smooth in this video. No post stabilization at all!
damn i guess the hypersmooth thing is good then! haha thanks for your answer man
"Those are some sketchy farts!". Haha that's what it kind of sounded like. Are all those roots slippery?
They're typically slippery - I mean it is the PNW, but that day they were pretty dry!
And yes - those are sketchy farts!
"you can let go, it's pretty flat" translated means "you slow poke, why the hell are you in front again?!" 😁
Hahah no no no..... ok maybe a little bit of a yes! It was Jesse's first time over there so I had to encourage him a bit!
@@DailyMTBRider haha just kidding! For a first time on that trail he had the balls to do that insane roller coaster. Kudos to him 🤘
Hero 7 is definitely a different viewing experience for the better
How can I tell the difference between Jank and Gnar?
Great question..... Jank makes you bounce up and down a lot. Gnar makes you need to change your pants
what kind of bike do u have?
Randy would have stoppied it
Hahah yes he would - a lot of guys in Bellingham probably can
I liked this video and subscribed because of the SpongeBob reference in this video.
That roll in was pretty damn steep
yeah it was man! But we both know you'd for sure give it a try!
Daily MTB Rider when in doubt don’t use the brakes.
I would hit the line... with my brakes on 90% of the time. 👍
Isn’t the climb counted as a stretch
where is that new sentinel?
I got it just a few days after this ride - it will be in videos shortly!
You shouldn't stretch before physical activity, it's of greater benefit after...
Good to note.... but I don't really do either so.....
Stretching is over rated ;)
Is this helmet cam?
Oh ,sorry i saw toogy's comment!
No worries man! What'd you think about how it looked?
Not bad a little laggy on my side
In one video, you have officially worn out the word “jank” 😵
I never stretch either, total BS. Also, the answer is NO I would not do that line. Maybe in a year or two.
Man I'm 47 if I dont stretch I'm in deep crap
Stretching is overrated
Heck yeah it is.... but I may regret it when I get older!
What bike are you on? Hardtail? Oh your on a trek remedy I think
No hardtail this day - I was on my trek Remedy
Nice, when are you going to ride your transition sentinel?
I've been shredding it a ton! I picked it up just a few days after filming this!
i thought you didn't like it when you originally demo'd it. here's hoping you give a review after owning it for a while. i think a number of people wonder about it given the weird reviews it gets. some love it, some hate it, many can't seem to take its pulse. it's a shuttle bike, it's a trail bike, on and on. end the confusion!
