That's a cliff!
There's a new trail up in the hills of Squamish, British Columbia.
The line was first scouted over seven years ago, and after getting official Section 57 approval,
it was built by a handful of extremely dedicated volunteers over the span of four years.
This trail is incredibly remote, which makes access rather challenging, and it may even take
you a few hours to pedal to the top of it, and sometimes even over an hour with a shuttle to
This trail is rumoured to have a bit of everything. Fast flow, steep chutes,
old growth, rainforest ferns, and even some incredible views through RIPT.
There's been some debate online as to whether this is a true single black,
or maybe even a double black, but all I know is that I love a good adventure.
So armed with nothing but a name and a map, it's time to head out into the woods
and see what all the fuss is about.
But first, this video is brought to you by Insta360.
I'm filming today's video on their Ace Pro 2, which is my personal favourite action camera.
The Ace Pro 2 can film at up to 8K at 30fps, or 4K at 60fps in their low light focused
pure video mode, with an ultra wide 157 degree field of view that action sport content creators
will surely appreciate. It also manages to deliver exceptionally high quality audio
through the use of a hardware level windguard, combined with an impressive noise reduction
algorithm. My favourite feature though is that with their vertical to horizontal mount,
the Ace Pro 2 can be seamlessly reframed into either landscape or portrait orientation,
without having to touch your mount at all on the trail.
The flip up touch screen also makes it very convenient to film talking headshots,
and the fast charging hardware will get you from 0 to 80% in just 18 minutes,
ensuring that you'll always be able to get the shot. The Ace Pro 2 also happens to come
in midnight black or arctic white, depending on which aesthetic you're going for.
Thanks again Insta360 for their continued support of my channel, and check out the affiliate link

Look at this climb trail! This is the most scenic climb trail that's still in the woods.
This is what dreams are made of. That's why I live here.
Oh my god it keeps going. Look at this, this is art. Forest changes so we're probably getting
closer to the edge. We are on a bit of a ridge here. Oh wow. Wow. We are very much above Squamish.
Let's check out Intergalactic, which is Squamish's newest trail and a crazy adventure.
The trail sign was really cool too, thanks to everyone who helped out with this.
But Trailforks mentions Phil, Ben, and Mike, so thank you for the four years of work to get this
riding. None of us today, Steve and Hao Cheng and myself have seen any, well actually Hao Cheng
saw a video. Steve and I have not seen anything. Oh wow, old growth forest is amazing. Okay,
fit tech. Wow, this is very pretty. Unclip.
Yep, good line. Bunch of rocks there. Interesting. Spicy fresh trail. Lost the front on that a
little bit. You know it's a steep trail and the brakes are making this noise. Wow, this is so
pretty. This is amazing. Holy moly. The level of work that's gone into this, especially given how
remote it is, that's crazy. Look at how pretty this climb is. Yeah, I'm stuck in this part of
the world for good I think. Okay, yeah, it's an adventure. This is a 10 out of 10. And we haven't
even seen the main viewpoint. I still can't get over how nice this is. Oh, we're getting a view.
Oh my, I don't love this. Wow. It's okay, I guess. Time to go to the actual lookout.
It's not zero consequence here. Oh yeah, not at all. Wow. That's good to have.
Yeah, I'm just not looking right, Steve. What do you mean, the wet roots on the climb don't
inspire confidence? Wow. That's all right. It's not the worst. We should ride this ridge
bi-directionally. It's not the worst mid-trail activity. How long did we stay here? Did we have
a time on it? We probably stayed at this viewpoint for like 40 minutes. I regret none of those.
That's a cliff. Okay, don't know where the trail's going in terms of this hill.
Let's take it extra care, extra careful. Oh yeah, it's getting serious all of a sudden.
Good thing I'm cold from a 30-minute lookout break, 40-minute lookout break.
There's a route there. There's a route there too. Wow. My brain needs to warm up.
This is so beautiful. I bet you at least one of the years was spent scouting the line. That's
insane. That's great. Okay, lower intergalactic. We haven't seen the skid zone sign yet. Oh wow.
Okay, that baited you a bit.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, I think so too. All right, put it in four low. I can climb anything in four
low. Oh my god, there's more views. You can actually tell we've lost elevation.
Okay, time to find that no skidding sign. It has been rumored. Wow, this is nice.
Wow, saw it. Wow, look at this. Oh, I'm gonna get a photo of that.
That's a great sign. Yeah. Unstable slope, please refrain from skidding,
which is generally just a good rule anyway, but oh yeah, I see why. Oh god, that's okay.
Oh, I see why. Okay, try not to skid. Try not to skid.
It's really hard not to skid, but I think that was clean. That's awesome.
Oh yeah. Oh, blind jump. That's cool. Oh my goodness. Thanks again to all the builders
on this trail. This is a banger. Oh, quick pocket zip. Make sure I have my phone. Wahoo, we're good.
Yeah, need a lawyer for that one. Interesting. Oh, that was a good G out.
Oh my goodness, the lighting. And now it's too dry. Thank you. Oh, I see the end.
Holy cow, man.
