This is the first one of your videos that I have seen and found it amazing to watch, this is content I'd expect to see with 100k subscribers. Keep it up!
Thanks Sam, that’s nice to hear. A new GoPro with good settings and good audio has made most of the difference. That said this took way too long to make due to the file size so I may have to try shooting in 4k instead of 5.3k and see if my computer can handle it a bit better
Nice vid! Still to make it to Whistler but its on the list, one day soon. Keen to hear your experience on the DVO. Definitely at the top of my list, so your take on them would be appreciated!
I’ve been running the onyx sc and jade x for a couple years now. I’ve only got incredible things to say about them but they are both custom tuned from Jesse at DVO New Zealand for the taniwha’s kinematics, my weight, and riding style, and then the tune is matched on the fork too, so it rides incredible. I also just got them both serviced here in Vancouver so I’m loving life right now😂 The coil off the top into an air spring gives frankly unmatched (to any air fork) small bump sensitivity and the rest is smooth as butter and ramps up wonderfully.
I've been watching all the Whismas content I can until I get can up for my first day of the season and who do I see halfway through but Alex from Archibald? I was doing a demo ride with him a few hours earlier that morning in North Van. Got my order in, can't wait for my bike to arrive! Cool that you were able to meet up with the whole crew and were already aware of the brand.
Haha that's hectic. Yeah he didn't show up till later in the day. Thats awesome that you got to ride one. Yeah my next bike will be a Zerode katipo or an Archibald. Done love mullet through which sucks. Also waiting until he goes belt drive. No way I'm going chain again. Too many disadvantages over a belt drive.
I’ll definitely let you know. I’ll meet up with the guys over the summer a few times hopefully and I told Alex I’d love to test ride one because it’s either one of those or a zerode katipo for my next bike
Thanks! They’re doing pretty good, I did scratch the crap out of them on a little crash that day which kinda sucks. But they’ve been consistent and strong so far, no complaints. I made a review video about them and so far everything seems the same
An Aussie in Canada with a Dutch surname....man I miss Whistler used to teach snowboarding over there....now im in Mexico unfortunately there arent great parks here that are taken care of
Probably ten minutes from where I joined the line for the opening and for the rest of the day I never waited longer than 3-5 minutes. This new lift eats up the line
@@BCFreerider 160 is plenty. The trails aren't necessarily more rough or gnarly than other regular trail centres/mountains around, there's just a lot of them.

Glad to hear. Just what I was expecting you to say, which is a good thing 😅
was there i i think i was u was also my first time was crazy fun 😄😄good vid too.
nice content dude
Thanks! appreciate it
Wicked video and riding mate. Whistler looks so good. I’m jealous of how quite your bike is man 😮
Cheers mate. A lack of derailleur and a belt makes a big difference that's for sure😂
@@reubenvandendool haha I would love to try one out! Keep the videos coming man
@@Froff Will do mate👌

Lucky man! Great vid

Archibald Cycles are so sick! Would love to here your thoughts if you get the chance to test ride.

cool dude, i spotted myself in your video.
how are the mavens going? Sick videos by the way, they are good quality.

@@reubenvandendool Been eyeing them up since release for the Ebike, Might finally buy them haha

Haha yep a few Aussies around up there that's for sure. And a bunch of dutch last names too
@@reubenvandendoolI’m an Aussie from your old area and I want to go to whistler one day
I enjoyed the video
Glad to hear! Stick around if you like, much more to come.
how long of a weigh was it for the lift
Probably ten minutes from where I joined the line for the opening and for the rest of the day I never waited longer than 3-5 minutes. This new lift eats up the line
So sick. What camera are you using? Action 4?
Gopro 11 black. Will be changing up the settings though cos it was too hard to edit 5.3 k footage. My computer struggled.
how much travel do you have on your bike?
My taniwha has 160 on the rear and I’m running 170 on the front
@@reubenvandendool ok. I’m going for my first time next week. And trying to decide if my 160mm will be enough or if I have to rent

hi how did you do the move to canada? something i really want to do one day
Haha got a missus in BC so moved out here for a year
@@reubenvandendool ahhh nice
Those stumps/rocks/roots that grab your pedal and launch you are some of the worst.
It feels like you’ve just hit a landmine.
Yeah. And nothing you can do to avoid it
the video without the music would be much better
