Just two ideas: don't overcomplicate the channel, especially the camera work. We love this style, and watch it for a reason. I love your natural way of talking, even if you don't say anything for a whole video. We've got more than enough screaming ADHD youtubers :D One bike, one camera, one voice. If it ain't wrong, don't fix it. And as for the mechanical engineering thing... your channel could very well be something like Peak Torque, but in a MTB world. Reviewing dumb/good designs, explaining principles, etc.
"if it ain't wrong, don't fix it" is an interesting point. Typically creators have to evolve in order to maintain relevancy in today's social media. Otherwise they'll be overtaken as technology progresses and makes content creation easier and easier! But rest assured that will not involve ADHD screaming from me. 😆
Hi Dale, given your experience as a mechanical engineer in bike manufacturing. I think doing technical bike reviews, designs discussing manufacturing techniques, suspension setups and effects of geometry on ride characteristics are some of the topics I believe community can really gain from.
It would be super interesting to do that, though I'd need some capital to go through that many bikes! Maybe I ride and review all of my friend's bikes... 👀
Would absolutely love an endo video. And just because hundreds of people have done it before doesn't mean anyone has made the video like Dale would. There's always room for originality. Your way could always teach someone in a way no one else's video can.
The prize for the tech climb challenge should of course be a Dale Stone autographed bike bell 😁 On the engineering talk side, maybe some stuff on MTB engineering, e.g. geometry, suspension kinematics, etc.
My endo corner skills have increased exponentially since I started watching your channel, I just never thought to do them as much before and now it's front of mind. Thumbs up for sticking with the gopro, your footage is always incredible and the 360 cameras are still a way off the quality for youtube.
Great loved hearing about you! Had no idea about your education. I am a geek too! Degree and all and Also my grandmother was born in Waterloo… brought back memories! 🎉
Rant and ride away Dale. No secret to most I’m sure, but though you are clearly a great rider, it’s “you” that makes your channel special. P.S. Congrats on 50k! P.P..S. Yes, I’d love a vid on nose pivots!
knolly, we are one, nsb, forbidden, devinci, chromag, one up..? props to both you and almost-Dr. Nick for representing Ontario (engi)nerds on big bikes & big mountains
Wow, how did this happen. Your video popped up in my google news feed and I thought no way....still didn't think it was you until I watched a bit and heard the part about east coast tech climbing. Awesome
Way to go dale !!! 👌 mechanical engineering and bike design go hand in hand . My sister got her masters at waterloo for physics, she's got the brains in the family . Lol
I've had some time to think about what niche, but incredibly useful tutorial you might wanna try, so please hear this one out. Please teach us how you guys are able to track stand and adjust the front end on very steep sections of trail, especially with that rear wheel and saddle way up over the front end. That's some mountain goat level of skill right there.
Simple: practice, practice, practice! Practice in your driveway or while you are waiting for your buds to catch up, or while you are catching your breath at the top.
Hey Dale, Love the local connect to us Waterloo region peeps, the mentions of riding the Hydrocut etc. you've made in the past. While I dream of out West, love to know if you get back this way periodically and can do any East coast discussions/comparisons on skills etc. Also for your design work, just some curiosities, like skills/tool level mentions, like CAD for Bikes you've done, etc.
Maybe you're going to get sponsored by a 3D printer company - testing out the limits of what useful gadgets you can make for biking from a consumer 3D printer. I like the format. I think skills tips would be cool interspersed within a ride, or training tips outside of riding to achieve a certain skill on the trail. With mechanical ENG background, you could do little explainers on how certain bike parts work and why they are built a certain way. Maybe historical backgrounds on the parts - like say a derailleur. But keep the riding in. And yeah, take your year off to explore new places - though I do love all those North Shore trails. Kind of makes me wish I was still living in Vancouver, even though I live in a pretty good MTB town too in Rossland, BC.
Agreed! In fact; my son is designing a funky part right now, as he is experimenting with a concept that he feels could be brought over from scooter geometry (he was a pro scooter rider)... I can't say what, as if it works, he is going to want to protect his design, but he is going to 3D print it before a CNC version, just to see how it feels. I also want him to 3D print me some 155 mm and 165 mm crank arms, so I can decide how short to go! 😉 (He is a Mechatronics & Robotics grad, btw.)
Hey Dale, huge fan from back in Ontario who also just so happens to be studying engineering. Don’t usually comment but wanted to say I’m a huge fan of this style of video where you provide commentary while you ride. Doesn’t have to be anything in particular, and I’m not saying I prefer it over your other videos, it’s just a welcome change and something I hope you continue to mix in.
LOVE this channel. Yours, and Nick's and Dave's have inspired me to become a better rider. One how-to vid I'd like to see is skinnies. From a fellow ME!
I always appreciate B-roll footage of the highlight features. Having a second, stationary camera angle placed on the feature helps add perspective. However, it does add extra work, and might mess with your trail riding flow. Thanks for the great content Dale!
I always thought people subscribed to VanCan and Dangerous Dave so that they could see you ride from a different perspective. You actually have three channels. So you really have about 283,000 subs if you do the math
maybe do a "slow drop" tutorial. I'm not from BC and havent ridden any of the trials I've seen on your channel but ther often seem to be "Drops" where you most likely would hit the chainring and there's no good run in or run out to realy drop it. I don't know how to describe it better but maybe you know what i mean
I'm happy to see you still recording on the gopro, I think it has less compression artifacts and less distortion around the edges compared to the insta 360. So overall better image quality for youtube. But I do see the benefits of the insta 360 as well. Also congrats on the milestone!!
The footage is great and the video quality is nice. And I don't think you should change it :) I pretty much don't like those new wide angle ones with fisheye effects. New products are not always better.
So I was thinking about your comment of making tutorials but not what all the others have covered already ... Something I have just started to learn is riding out of my saddle and the importance of it on technical sections. I find it very hard since I am so used to be glued to my saddle but can not really find much on that subject at all, and I am talking climbing of course ...
@@DaleStone that's my point ... use it or not and where ... tricky! I just see a lot of the really good riders do it and think there has to be something to it... anyway, just and idea I thought I share:)
i think u should come to the uk and cumbria and try riding at chaple house woods bc it has alot off trails that have been built by locals and are all enduro or downhill with some just casual flow trails
I would ike to see technical climbing from a 3rd person view. How do you perform these "wheelie turns" while climbing to match tight hairpin corners? (Yes, theoetically I know from MB-calculations but... :) Greetings from a mechanical engineer from Germany.
I know you like the silence and fast rolling of the Onyx hubs, but you should look into Tairin hubs as a Canadian alternative. As a flat pedal rider, you are having to deal with an increase in pedal kickback when running instant engaging hubs. The Tairin S1 (still in final stages of development) has a ratchet system that completely disengages for fast & silent coasting. When you start to pedal (or encounter kickback) it takes 8 degrees for the ratchet to create solid engagement, but it is always at rest when you're not pedaling. So essentially you get 8 degrees of pedal kickback mitigation available full time (like an O Chain spider) without the added weight nor the mushy engagement of the Onyx.
Running a high pivot bike means I don't get any kickback as-is, so engagement becomes more important. Especially for uber tech moves! But Tairin is certainly interesting, and local to me. Also the math doesn't quite work there, you'll get an average of 4 degrees of "mitigation" depending on where in the 0-8 degree range the ratchet is in when you go to pedal?
@@DaleStone I figured the Range was keeping PK to a minimum for you, but most bikes (the Sight for example) have somewhere between 5 and 10 degrees of kickback in the sag zone (depending on gearing). The S1 system springs out of engagement when not under load, so its always farthest away from engaging when you're coasting. Meaning it always has to rotate the same 8 degrees every time you pedal or the frame creates kickback. They have a cutaway video on their site which shows the function. Essentially there are no more 'POE' like we're used to thinking about it in reference to 360 degrees of rotation. The system is engaged or not, and it requires 8 degrees of freehub rotation to engage the ratchets regardless of when you begin to pedal or when the frame creates kickback. Very cool stuff.
If I understood all that even a little bit (lol), that sounds like the last thing I would want - I have to ratchet pedal often on techy uphill sections and that sounds like there would be a delay? Am I missing something? Dale, I am interested to understand the difference with high-pivot vs regular, in this example. (I ride a Pivot Mach 6 with the Duo-Link - please forgive me if I wrote that incorrectly, lol.)
Worth buying 11 hero, he is very good in dense forests where it is dark. In your case, camera is as important an attribute as a bike. And the price is not great. Good luck!)
Not sure if you're familiar with the Ride Hub series of videos that run through features in Squamish. Really informative stuff in detail. Maybe something similar? Lots of your subscribers are from BC Id guess and like me, have ridden most the trails in your videos. A lot of the moves are Go Proed and look easier than they are. Generic 'how to drop' videos are everywhere, but a multi angle on say the Marvin drop and how you approach it, or how you do In and Out Burger, would maybe be really interesting. Obviously if you have never ridden in BC the change in angles may show the sort of terrain we have better and if you're lucky enough to be here, looking at more challenging moves would be great. You mentioned tech climbs too; loads of options to run through there round here! My personal climb aim for this year is IMBY with no dabs which I have yet to achieve 😬
I was wondering what if in your experience, riders on the north shore typically size up or down when getting new bikes. It seems with all the tight corners and skinnies, you’d want a smaller frame? Thanks!
Great question. Personally I find myself looking slightly below the manufacturer's recommended size. Usually I subtract a good 5-10cm or so from my height and see what they recommend for that height. In the end it's all personal preference though!
What about a How to dress like Dale tutorial? And how you get bonus points for making all the factory doctors thinking your a Jerry at first glance or trail heads and then having their jaws drop when you blast past them.
Also a second camera just catching your reactions when you or someone else almost dies and it becomes a “holycrapgigglefest” would amuse me greatly its the one part of riding bikes with your friends that doesn’t get as much playtime in videos. Goofing off riding bikes is the part of riding that often gets undervalued as a part of why some of us enjoy riding so much.
All great suggestions! A second camera always recording is definitely feasible. I agree that having fun makes for the best memories (and also good content!).
As someone who can’t do technical climbs, I am all for technical climbing content! In fact, I subscribed when I saw the video where you rode Bent Rim (I believe it was with your dad?)
Local Mech. PEng here. Did you get the acessement done? Let me know if you need my notes for the exam. Love your videos!! Ps. Man, I really appreciate the way you always identify the trail. It's awesome.
I like the chill vibe of your channel and I hope you don't focus too much on gear, because I honestly find it the least interesting part of mountain biking. I do really like your recent videos looking at line choice - it's something that I think fits really nicely with your existing style, but also isn't as common in other channels. Importantly, it's almost infinitely broad since every trail offers new content. One thing you could maybe do to bring your engineering background into play is discussing some of those choices in more detail - the mechanics of why a particular choice is a bad one and a good choice is a good one. Explain more about your thinking in terms of islands of safety and decision points and so on. Some of this sort of stuff isn't as obvious to all of us viewers, so treating us like five year-olds when it comes to this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Nice Dale! Additional camera(s) would be cool to get different perspectives on some of the features you’re riding The only downside is the time and effort to setup shots might suck the life out of riding a bike? Looking forward to the fivers, absolutely loved watching those videos!
Congratulations on the 50k subscribers! Can I ask how you get such a clear picture on your videos please? I ha e the Hero 9. Is there anything I could do to set mi e up to get great quality like you? Do you have any attachments on your gopro? Great content as always 🤙
@@lynnstone8958 LOL - moms... mine is adamant that she doesn't want to see any of my videos or descriptions of what scary stuff I have done! She is 93.
For your main camera, please stick with the GoPro for footage, both the video and the audio are so much better on the GoPro than on those 360 cams many other TH-camrs are using.

Importantly, it's almost infinitely broad since every trail offers new content. One thing you could maybe do to bring your engineering background into play is discussing some of those choices in more detail - the mechanics of why a particular choice is a bad one and a good choice is a good one. Explain more about your thinking in terms of islands of safety and decision points and so on. Some of this sort of stuff isn't as obvious to all of us viewers, so treating us like five year-olds when it comes to this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Nice Dale!
Additional camera(s) would be cool to get different perspectives on some of the features you’re riding
The only downside is the time and effort to setup shots might suck the life out of riding a bike?
Looking forward to the fivers, absolutely loved watching those videos!
That's a key point. Whatever I do in the future must be fun. Because bikes are supposed to be fun and I'm never going to change that in my head!
@@DaleStone 100%
Congratulations on the 50k subscribers! Can I ask how you get such a clear picture on your videos please? I ha e the Hero 9. Is there anything I could do to set mi e up to get great quality like you? Do you have any attachments on your gopro? Great content as always 🤙
Nothing fancy at all. 60fps maybe?
@@DaleStone thankyou 🙏
So Factorio play through when?
Can you elaborate on your camera setup? Looks like mostly chest mount? Nice angle. What app do you use to edit?
10 black on a chin mount, and DaVinci Resolve!
@@DaleStone I like your footage. Thank you
thanks for not using 360cam, I hate them, seriously I can't watch clips made with them and I'd love to stay here 😢
wtf, how do you only have 50k?? I thought you had like half a mill or at least 200K. Big congratulations from Sweden
You sure beat him to 300,000....
Im pretty shure Noble weels will be one of the brands but We are one Compontents would be cool too
That want well
You should show some of your bails/crashes if you have any
No you shouldn't - Mom :)
@@lynnstone8958 LOL - moms... mine is adamant that she doesn't want to see any of my videos or descriptions of what scary stuff I have done! She is 93.
Well excluding Norco for obvious reasons, I am going to guess WeAreOne, Knolly, Banshee, Forbidden and Chromag.
I am going into my freshman year this fall for a mechanical engineering degree in hopes to help design mountain bikes after school!
It's a small industry, good luck!
@@DaleStone thanks!
We Are One?!?!
For your main camera, please stick with the GoPro for footage, both the video and the audio are so much better on the GoPro than on those 360 cams many other TH-camrs are using.
Have to try everything to figure out what the best tool for the job is, let's see! 🙂
Anyone else think that it's odd that Dale doesn't know the lines on Dale's Trail :D
Blackspire, NSBillet, OneUp?
I have a feeling 5dev could be one of your sponsors
They have been for just over a year! 🔥
@@DaleStone hmmmmmmm, I have no clue then lmao
We’re is your gopro mount?
Chin bar
Guesses: Vorsprung Suspension, NS Billet, Race Face/Fox, Forbidden, OneUp.
Time to write an email to one of those actually, thanks!
I saw your new bike in a diff TH-camrs vid 😎
It's not a secret!
🤙🤙
Forbidden, we are one,
I’d love to know a little more about your cardio / diet training etc. I know you still have XC in you😊.
Haha oh boy. Diet is quite literally whatever, whenever. 😁 Might have something for cardio though!
Maybe using a drone?
Always an option but it's tough when I'm mostly in the forest!
@@DaleStone you need the type that can follow you!
Intend, Chromang and last one I don’t really know
Intend would be 🔥🔥
@@DaleStone well…..is it realistic to see some Intend on your bikes in the future?😏
I'll try to work some magic, stay tuned.
@@DaleStone niceeeeee🔥
