Attempting a never done trail gap! Can we make it #mountainbiking #remymetailler #gopro

I fell and I landed on my back on one of those riverbed rocks It's actually really hard What's up everyone, welcome back to the channel So today I'm actually on the Sunshine Coast here in British Columbia And tomorrow I'm gonna go and ride with my buddy Forest Reesco We're gonna check out the trails that I actually rode maybe 6 or 7 years ago I look forward to it, let's go So here on the Sunshine Coast at Wilson Creek Forest and I are going to check out a new connector In order to get to that epic trail we rode about 7 years ago Very similar to the slabs from Squamish so I look forward to it Ok, let's do this Such a beautiful forest, all that moss First slab of the day So the mountain here is not super steep So it probably means that the trails are gonna be quite flowy It's epic Nice, feels like summer already I'm like so scared too My buddy went straight on a bridge But you were supposed to turn and that got me confused So I stopped on the bridge and I put my foot and I missed the bridge and I fell I fell and I landed on my back on one of those riverbed rocks And I broke like 3 transversal vertebra Oh yeah? Yeah yeah Really? Yeah Oh my god! How are you? Wow, big fan Oh thank you Yeah we're just actually filming with Forest Have you ridden here before? Like 7 years ago Ok Ok, on to Rio Rocco This is the most Squamish looking trail I have seen anywhere on the coast All Vancouver Island Nice Forest and I actually rode that 7 years ago That's a tricky one Yeah That's fine with the exposure, you really have to time your pedals I actually knew it was coming So I put a much easier gear than normally but still Yeah Attempt number 2 Nice Oh wow, we continue And before we do the next section You want to check out the gap that you pointed out on the pill? Yeah let's scope it out I don't know if it's going to work out but Yeah Let's have a look So right there is a pretty cool line that Forest just showed me Regular trail goes down and around But you could actually gap from right here to where Forest is And you really have to land on the left Otherwise that's going to push you towards the right of the trail And even though there's not too much exposure left and right You still want to be careful Obviously it is much more technical than it looks You have to bunny up making a corner Very little time to set up on your run in But also control the spin at the exit Yeah it's going to be tricky but I don't know Let's do a run in and see how I feel You good? Yeah This one you need to have like a little bit of momentum Yeah it'll come a little wider Because there is not enough time to put a pedal crank Good Yeah it's a tricky one Do you want to do it once more? If you want to That's a tricky one This is actually super hard Most people probably don't realize it but There's a bunch of exposure on the left hand side Which probably plays with your mind a bit If you want to give another go, go for it Great Forest just showing Aaron how it's done Nice Yeah nice one Ok so I've looked at the gap And I feel like I want to do it It's going to be interesting And I want to share with you the process of Hitting a feature like this for the first time So behind Forest there is a long rock slab Actually super easy to ride And you can get a lot of speed The problem is that for this feature The speed is not really an issue But lining up properly to be able to pull a nice bunny up Is going to be what's most important So I'm actually going to come and open the corner Super early on so I can come As straight as possible onto the gap I'm going to roll right there Pump the terrain Go as far right as I can And at this point I have almost a straight line But I still will have to pull on the side One of my concerns is That right here there is a root That's going to suck up some of the energy And therefore that's going to make it more difficult For me to have a very settled position To be able to preload the bike And do a nice bunny up And hopefully I come here I'm squatting on the bike I can explode and make it to the green moss Perfectly in line with the tree Let's give a try Running on the bike And then hopefully I do it Ok It's going to be interesting I really have to corner and bunny up Otherwise I land too far right So I'm going to do another running Running number 2 It's actually really hard Yeah I don't know The gap looks huge from here I think I'm actually going to land A little bit more right than I actually want Ok First attempt Ok that was That was really ugly And I went really slow but now I know it's going to work out I really wish my first attempt Had been smoother But I actually made a mistake on the running Ok Attempt number 2 Smooth, relaxed Let's clean things up Ah Still not how I wanted to ride it For whatever reason I go super slow on the running Much slower than I did in practice In this case It just felt awkward Because you go so slow I bunny up as high as I can And then I end up Falling on a rock and I lose all my speed When I land So controlling your speed is definitely not an issue With how slow I'm going Ok more speed This one is the one Nice Start wasn't there but It was pretty fast and efficient It's like the first day of the year for me Where it's really hot I have a drop of sweat That fell in my goggles Right in between my eyes This one was not stylish but I had good speed Your turn It's just Like I'm not trying to go fast It's just like a Big awkward bunny up because it feels like you go so slow It's like the first day Of the year for me Where it's really hot I have a drop of sweat That fell in my goggles right in between my eyes This one was not Stylish but I had good speed Your turn First run in How does that feel I feel like you can open the line even more Yeah I think I was turning a bit At the bottom there Second run in I don't think I'm turning enough up there You're still like lower than I am Like I'm really against That like top rock I feel like you Quite a few inches more inside This is a sick line but It would be harder to be Consistent on it Are you going in the moss I'm going on the moss the entire time So like my wheels Come right there Are you hopping No I'm like really Rolling on a straight line like All this Like a pump truck Like I really enter right there Cause I really want to Yeah and then you just roll everything I was coming here No no no I do the french line I do the easy way Does that make more sense I feel like it's still not going to be pretty Oh yeah I didn't make it look pretty though I just made it For his first attempt That's going a bit slow there Yeah I felt like your entrance Was not as As good as your last run in Yeah For his second attempt Nice Yes It's really hard to get enough speed Nice one dude Thank you I felt like I cased it but I think you have to Yeah I feel like If you case that type of feature a little bit That almost helps you to get a bit of Control just because you got so little Time to regain Composure on the bike before the next section But you landed and then you popped again to the other Transition which was sick So that time for Forrest Oh yeah That was perfect I don't know if we can get it Much better than that I think that's pretty good That's definitely not any bike move Because doing a bunny hop With a 25kg bike is not the same Than with our trail bikes Yeah I've been thinking about that line For years So that time for Forrest Oh yeah That was perfect Ok let's try this I'm going to try to follow Forrest down the gap Thank you mate Have a good one You too Nice That was pretty tricky following you I felt like we were going a bit slower No? No I think I just did it good I took my time like you were saying Pumping it I felt like a bit confused because We took more speed So I was on the brakes a bit I probably did slow down I jumped too far right I was on the off camber But now good thing to know it works Part number 2 Oh nice Sick That was awesome That was really cool Oh yeah back at the river That's for night speed Ok on to Wilson Creek Ridge I don't think I've ever ridden this one Wow it's dry already And those little pine cones Pretty slippery Oh yeah That was cool That was a cool gap you did Because you really carried much more speed than I did So Forrest is really tall But he's so agile on his bike You can see how he dissociates His body from the bike And really let the bike Move below him That was fun That was really cool I like the trails when they are Either very hard Or very easy But the in between is not for me Yeah it's kind of flatter Yeah but you can carry speed And the corners are Kind of low But fun trails It's fun on an e-bike Everything is fun on an e-bike Last little bit of downhill I really like the coast Everything is chill Even the bike trails So relaxing Thanks for watching everyone That gap was actually super tricky And I'm stoked it worked out For the next video I'll be heading this way Towards the Powell River I am really excited to check out that zone As always if you want to support the channel Simply click the links down below If you shop using those links You can save some money and that support the channel So thank you so much for that I see you next week
