 | Kamikaze is the Hydrocut's Crown Jewel
4. 11. 2018 15:00:05
Kamikaze is what I would call the flagship trail of the Hydrocut trail system. Short and sweet! I've literally ridden this thing over a hundred times; often a few times in a single ride. Thanks to the trail crew for keeping this hard line alive.... |
 | The Toughest Rock Gardens Around
18. 11. 2018 15:00:04
You might not love this video. In fact you probably won't. But it is honestly one of my favourite videos that I've made for this channel. It's so hard to capture the spirit of rock crawling, super technical trails; sessioning feature after feature until you get it, but I feel that this video actuall... |
 | MTB - Mount Seymour, North Vancouver, BC - CBC
25. 11. 2018 15:00:01
Somehow my friends remembered that I had never ridden CBC before, so they had to take me down it before the wet season. It's actually pretty fun! Definitely remember hearing about it growing up so it's cool to see it in person (even if it is a shell of what it once was). I'd happily ride it again!... |
 | MTB - Klosters-Serneus, Switzerland - Chalbersäss
2. 12. 2018 15:00:03
If you ever stumble upon this Mr. 'Lightville Daniel', this was a really good recommendation. Almost loamy for a lift access 'park' trail. Lots of good rock and root tech in the forest section. Highly recommend for quality trail with decent views. The final Switzerland video from the trip!... |
 | MTB - Thornhill, Maple Ridge, BC - O.S.R.
9. 12. 2018 15:00:04
Winter has arrived, but it's always fun to ride trails quickly. Trying to keep up with Braden down this Thornhill classic. He pulled away a little bit but I'm pretty happy with how close it was! Definitely can see myself riding a lot of this trail over the Winter. Enjoy!... |
 | MTB - Halton Agreement Forest, Milton, Ontario - The Den
16. 12. 2018 15:00:09
Rocks! Here's the newest trail at the AF and it's a pretty fun one at that. A classic cross country loop with a rocky east coast twist; named after all of the porcupines that frequent the area. Can be ridden in both directions but I was told this one was the more challenging one. Rode this back in t... |
 | MTB - Guelph Lake, Guelph, Ontario - Homestead
30. 12. 2018 15:00:03
Turns so tight my gimbal can't even keep up. Sprint, brake, sprint, brake... Trying my hardest not to hit my bars that are definitely too wide for this trail. Still fun, happy holidays everyone! :)... |
 | MTB - Halton Agreement Forest, Milton, Ontario - Christmas Trail
6. 01. 2019 15:00:01
How about this for a seasonally appropriate video? Christmas Trail on Christmas Eve, following my dad on his fatbike. I think this video does some justice to riding out east during the winter season and little justice to how slippery those damn rocks are at the AF. A holiday season well spent!... |
 | MTB - Lago di Garda, Italy - Val del Diaol
20. 01. 2019 15:00:05
Another fun trail from the super-rocky zone of Lake Garda. This was ridden right after Altissimo with Shane (a fellow Canadian I met on the shuttle, hello if you're somehow watching this!). Generally quite a fun trail but I haven't had my hands hurt this much in a while. Lots of juicy videos coming ... |
 | MTB - Mount Seymour, North Vancouver, BC - 'So Enduro Bro'
3. 02. 2019 15:00:06
This was a quick race training lap I did back in October from Mushroom lot to the bottom of Empress. Didn't take many of the expert lines, just some relaxing flow from top to bottom in one continuous shot. I've been sitting on this footage since I filmed it debating whether it was worth uploading or... |
 | MTB - Earth - Secret Trail 16
10. 02. 2019 15:00:10
This trail is just relentless. It's basically tech move after tech move, and yet it still appears on the map that you're riding at 6km/hr on a flat trail with minimal corners...at maximum heart rate. There's also an incredibly tricky chute (that is climbable, watch the whole video!) with a very diff... |
 | MTB - SFU, Burnaby, BC - Gearjammer Lap
17. 02. 2019 15:00:02
Snowmaggedon 2K19 has arrived. And to think the trails were in practically perfect condition just a week ago? Madness! Shoutouts to VanCan and Derek for making this one of the most laugh-inducing laps I've ever done, and a pretty quick one at that! Also, colour correcting snowy footage is downright ... |
 | MTB - Hydrocut, Kitchener, Ontario - The Bride
3. 03. 2019 15:00:04
The videos are back again after a brief one week hiatus! This week we go back to last summer in Ontario to revisit one of the best trails at my local trail system back home. The Bride is a super fun, relatively high speed XC trail with lots of flowy bits. Enjoy!... |
 | MTB - Earth - Secret Trail 17
10. 03. 2019 15:00:02
This trail is quite simple really:1. Don't fall off the cliff2. Don't fall in the river3. Don't dab! (most important)This isn't a trail that I've ridden particularly often, but it is a good one. There are bits I've never cleaned before this video so that's pretty cool that my dad and I both cleaned ... |
 | MTB - Slesse Road, Chilliwack, BC - Working 9-5
17. 03. 2019 18:30:01
January had some amazing conditions for riding, so we dedicated a few weekends to finding good trails. This one stood out as one of the more fun trails we found. Super flowy, lots of variety and pristine dirt. Great train too!... |
 | Boogieman is my Favourite Trail on Mount Seymour
31. 03. 2019 19:00:45
A 90% effort lap of Boogieman following @braden.holt, as pushing any harder means we probably wouldn't have made the skinnies. This trail is awesome, and (from what I hear) it's a true north shore classic. Very pleased with how this video turned out (other than the chest to bar moment that almost th... |
 | MTB - Earth - Secret Loamer 18
7. 04. 2019 20:30:02
This is one of the videos I forgot I had filmed, but was super stoked to rediscover when cleaning off my computer. Thanks for the good lap Andrew and Laura. This one is next level secret, enjoy!Trailforks: Nope, sorry!... |
 | MTB - Twin Ponds, Cambridge, Ontario - The Pine Loop
14. 04. 2019 15:00:06
Ontario sure knows how to utilize the space it has for good trails! No spectacular views or massive features here, just some fun, uninterrupted single track flow. Fire up the trainer and enjoy this one on a rainy day. (Side note: this is about a minute off of my best time for this section, holy heck... |
 | MTB - Earth - Secret Trail 19
21. 04. 2019 15:00:01
This right here is my jam. The single trail I've ridden more than any other. The trail I developed my skills and riding style on. And the footage I've sat on the longest as I wanted to get this one right. I hope you enjoy a two-dab, one-shot train through one of Ontario's toughest trails; this is on... |
 | MTB - Mount Seymour, North Vancouver, BC - 2019 NSMBA Fiver Race 2
12. 05. 2019 15:00:00
The videos are back! Took a break for a couple of weeks as I ended up dislocating my shoulder again. Revamped the bike, relaxed the shoulder and took some time off of videos. Was feeling pretty good this week so I figured it was Fiver time! I love this time of the year, and I hope you enjoy what is ... |
 | MTB - Eagle Mountain, Port Moody, BC - TORCA 500 Enduro Race
19. 05. 2019 15:00:00
I suppose it is a rain forest after all! Great race with the Lee and the TORCA gang. Wet conditions are not really my thing but I can't deny this was a fun time. 6 and a half minutes of racing and an hour of heckling. And a fun bonus lap down a very scenic Randy's at the end. Yew!... |
 | MTB - Mount Seymour, North Vancouver, BC - 2019 NSMBA Fiver Race 3
26. 05. 2019 22:30:00
Another week another Fiver. This one doesn't go quite to plan, but we managed to make the most of the situation and I still got a pretty solid race time out of it. Thanks friends! Hope you enjoy watching my very white hands ride some jank moderately quickly.... |
 | Xanadu
2. 06. 2019 15:00:03
It's not often that a video jumps this far ahead in my upload queue, but this is something special to me. Riding in a train with five awesome friends and one amazing view is a recipe for a good time. Fantastic weekend. Enjoy!... |
 | MTB - Mount Fromme, North Vancouver, BC - 2019 NSMBA Fiver Race 4
10. 06. 2019 15:00:04
This is probably the race that I am the most proud of of all the races I've done in my life. Lots of very fast competitors were at this one so I'm extremely stoked to be able to squeak into the top 10! Even if there was a bit of a crash on my warm up lap that kept me off the bike for a few days afte... |
 | Upper Oilcan, One Shot, Top to Bottom, No Dabs
15. 06. 2019 15:00:11
I've had this video in mind since I moved out here two years ago, so I'm super stoked to finally be able to post it. Following the king of fast woodwork, Dave and I rode all optional features without a dab, and first try! Shoutout to Martin for being an awesome guy that we met at the top of the firs... |
 | MTB - Burke Mountain, Coquitlam, BC - TORCA 500 Enduro Race
1. 07. 2019 15:00:05
Stoked on this one! Always happy to be racing my home trails with a lot of great friends. The conditions were favourable for my skillset (read: super dry) so it turned out pretty well. Wish there were a few more races in this series since the trails are super fun. Enjoy!... |
 | MTB - Mount Seymour, North Vancouver, BC - 2019 NSMBA Fiver Race 6
7. 07. 2019 15:00:03
A great example of 'it doesn't always go to plan'. Really stoked on the 10th place John Deer stage as I'm not typically someone who excels at high speed flow trails. New bike, new shoes, and new goals for this race; but a damaged shoulder would unfortunately finish me before I could finish the race!... |
 | MTB - Mount Fromme, North Vancouver, BC - Lower Digger
14. 07. 2019 15:00:33
Probably my favourite clip of the year so far. Who the heck throws massive suicide no handers in the middle of an enduro stage? Andrew, that's who! (There was supposed to be a full length video of this race, but unfortunately a rider got quite injured on stage 1 and they cancelled the stage as a res... |

31. 07. 2019 04:00:02
Just like my upload schedule and current shoulder predicament, things don't always go to plan! Luckily these moments still make for good video (most of the time at least). I hope you enjoy watching all of my spicy moments, unfortunate crashes and some funny moments of the 2018 season (yeah I know it... |
 | MTB - Twin Ponds, Cambridge, Ontario - V-Fib
7. 08. 2019 15:00:05
This is probably the second 'hardest' trail to clean at Twin Ponds, behind Parabola and ahead of Hardwoods 2. Recorded this almost a year ago before it vanished into the archives. Hopefully I'll be able to record more Ontario stuff at the end of this month. Anyone have any suggestions? :)... |
 | MTB - Freund Creek, Leavenworth, Washington - Rosie Boa
8. 09. 2019 15:00:13
I'm not usually a blue square flow trail kind of guy, but this one is pretty amazing. Great views and great trail work by the local crew! Also, sorry it's been a little while since the last video! Between injury rehabilitation, surgery steps and the general hecticness of life it's been hard to get h... |
 | MTB - Rockcliffe, Waterdown, Ontario - The Fun Loop
22. 09. 2019 15:00:03
2 seconds ahead of the overall KOM at 1:30, but then I encountered a reroute and some climbs haha, still the fastest time posted since 2017! Pretty happy about how this video turned out, and also pretty happy that I was able to ride while in Ontario last month. Wish I remembered to bring my bell tho... |
 | Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Horseshoe Valley Bike Park - Trail 1
18. 11. 2019 15:00:04
The videos are back! Hopefully for good depending on how long this surgery recovery thing takes... This was shot at the end of August on the new 2020 Sight, and was my first day back on a bike since the Fiver shoulder incident (so please forgive any lack of speed and/or style here!). Horseshoe ended... |
 | MTB - The Most Interesting Trail I've Ever Ridden
23. 11. 2019 15:00:04
World class views? Perfectly sculpted berms? Rock rolls? Rock gardens? Epic ridgelines? Perfect weather? Awesome friends? I've only ever re-ridden a trail once before while on vacation, and this was an instant re-ride. Just...wow! One of my favourite videos for sure, enjoy!... |
 | MTB - Hydrocut, Kitchener, Ontario - Frankenstein
30. 11. 2019 15:00:01
My annual reminder that I'm not as fit as I was before haha. Love this trail, always a good XC hammer regardless of who you're with. At the time of recording this was at #9/~980 for the year on an unmentionable ride sharing app. Given that I had most of the summer off that's not too shabby! :)... |

 | MTB - Mount Seymour, North Vancouver, BC - John Deer
24. 02. 2020 15:00:03
The most dangerous trail on the North Shore? I'd argue it is. Think about it, how many people have you heard of getting injured on this trail? Far more than it's blue square rating would lead you to believe! Here's a casual lap with Braden showing off some of the recent work that's been done to the ... |
 | MTB - Burke Mountain, Coquitlam, BC - Ridden Art
8. 03. 2020 15:00:07
Short and sweet, this trail is a must ride for just about any Burke day. Combine that with a wicked sunset, good friends and a fresh shoulder; you have the recipe for a video that I'm stoked enough on to jump to the front of my upload queue. Much better than the squealing brake version I put up two ... |
 | MTB - Burke Mountain, Coquitlam, BC - Triple Crown
15. 03. 2020 14:00:10
As you can see by the amount of snow on the ground we've had a pretty tough winter. There's always at least one winter ride where you overestimate where the snow line is and you have to laugh it off with your friends. I don't even like this trail, but it was fun enough in these conditions that I tho... |

22. 03. 2020 14:00:30
Apologies for yelling into the camera few times to call out features, but towing your friends into unfamiliar trails at high speeds is part of the fun of summer riding, so it stays! Everyone in the group tried to drop the person behind them for #socialdistancing reasons. Glad to get out for a few dr... |
 | MTB - Burke Mountain, Vancouver, BC - Bullet Dodger
29. 03. 2020 15:00:02
I absolutely love this trail and am pretty proud of this video! It's the perfect blend of a challenging, after work, sunset lap with awesome friends. I've recorded this trail probably two dozen times, but it just never lived up to my expectations (and this trail wasn't officially public until this y... |
 | Pamplemousse is Alice Lake's Premiere Flow Trail
5. 04. 2020 15:00:18
Pamplemousse, pantaloons et omelette du fromage! (The sad extent of what I remember from french classes...). Filmed this one back when it was still responsible to do so. After hearing so much about this trail online I figured we had to give it a shot, and it was pretty awesome! Missed a few of the o... |

12. 04. 2020 15:00:31
The Easter bunny has arrived! And I now begin to comb through hard-drives worth of raw footage to keep up during this quarantine. Lots of goodies in the queue, let me know what style of trails you'd like to see!... |
 | MTB - Trying to Not Get Dropped
19. 04. 2020 15:00:16
P.J. was in town which usually means it's time for a proper hammer. We both said we'd 'ride at 90% with some style for the camera' before dropping in, but we ended up putting together a top tier speedy top to bottom run! Pretty stoked on this one. When this trail is eventually made public I will upd... |
 | MTB - It Doesn't Get Much More Technical Than This
26. 04. 2020 15:00:08
This isn't your typical downhill trail. In all my years of riding I can only think of one trail that ranks higher in terms of tech-per-meter than this one (that would be my 'Secret Trail #13'). My dad and I decided to film in the more difficult direction; one that I have only cleaned once without da... |
 | Thornstar is the Perfect Lap for Progression
3. 05. 2020 15:00:25
Keeping it chill during with some friendly Thornhill flow. Great trail for practicing some basic bike handling skills, and an even better place for doing hard intervals up the road (who doesn't enjoy some intensity training?). Going to try to alternate between somewhat recent BC videos and footage f... |
 | MTB - Eagle Mountain, Port Moody, BC - Bad Blood
10. 05. 2020 15:00:13
There isn't a single feature, view, or section that stands out on the this trail. It's just really really good throughout! We've probably chosen it ~80% of the time over Hammer Time as a result.Thanks to Jon @jonkeener for his hard work in getting this trail ride able again. Glad to hear that it has... |
 | Krazy Karpenter has The Most Creative Woodwork
17. 05. 2020 15:00:04
Apparently if you say 'skinny' three times, Dave appears out of nowhere. What a seriously cool trail! I think that the 360 move through the stump is one of the coolest pieces of woodwork that still exists. Very pleased that we were able to clean this as a train on the third run down (the stump move ... |

Riding bikes isn't (and shouldn't be) always about setting the fastest times possible. More often than not it's just about having a good time in the forest with good friends. Now that small gatherings are back on the menu, here's one of the runs that has brought the most laughs and smiles in months:... |
 | MTB - Burke Mountain, Coquitlam, BC - Franks KOM
31. 05. 2020 15:00:01
'One of the best trails on the mountain' - the brave lad who wrote the Trailforks description. Certainly one of the most ridden trails on Burke, I actually don't mind Franks as it reminds me of pedally Ontario XC, which is my strength! For all of the people who say I don't go hard enough (and as a r... |
