    Thanks to you guys I’ve been around the world a few times and ridden hundreds of trails. After three years of riding, I can say without a doubt that Sentiers du Moulin in Lac Beauport is my all time favorite place to ride. Holy moly, I truly hope you make it there some day.
    Sentiers du Moulin Trailforks Region: www.trailforks.com/region/sen...
    My ride didn’t record for this, but it’s pretty simple, just climb to the top, hit a trail, climb to the top, hit the next trail:
    - Super G ◆
    - Léon ◆
    - Viking ◆◆
    - LBC2 ◆◆◆
    - King Kong ◆◆◆ (extra credit, not featured in the video)

    Thanks for showing our trail to the world Brian! That "merci!" was perfect too!

    @brucemacneil Před 4 lety +147

    A technique I learned for features I found "too scary" in Quebec - was to have a local Quebec person (or 5) who is about 15 years younger than me - trail slightly behind yelling, "just f-ing go - don't stop; just go...!!!"
    That got me over several things I would never have done on my own.
    And - you are right: this past few months I rode: Ontario, Nova Scotia, Squamish, Revelstoke, Alberta - and the best (very best) was Sentiers du Moulin; Bromont and Valee Bras du Nord.

      @@brucemacneil So Vic park is more my area, but we are really making ambitious goals, we have everything it takes to become a destination, including 2000 new untouched acres of land. The only unfortunate thing is the general lack of elevation. If you happened to ride the Hostel in Wentworth, thats the only place that is kinda enduro Ive been.

    Seriously...I don't know if it matters to the Quebec tourism, but YOUR videos would absolutely make me want to go ride these trails over Whistler, and UNTIL your video last year, I wouldn't have ever known Quebec had this much greatness. What YOU ARE DOING by bringing these videos to us, is helping people be able to maximize their fun on their trips. For someone who loves jumps and that's what they ride for, there's no reason to go to MOAB. Just like for someone who loves flow and XC trails, Whislter would be a letdown.
    The difference here is mostly HAND CUT greatness that is meticulous, and takes advantage of the NATURAL terrain, with some sprinkled in man-made features. To me, it's more compelling to ride this than machine cut flow trails, and I greatly prefer this type of trail riding. Is there a time and place for shuttled bike park laps, ABSOLUTELY, but for me....it's to develop skills to ride THIS type of trail!! Second...LOVED SEEING YOU conquer the demons at the 10:35 mark! YES! I had this feeling you were going to hit that, and after you saw how Ben used the modern technique for small drops, that seemed to really raise your confidence. And third...DANG, seeing Cathro throw around that E bike and make it look playful was pretty incredible. If you hadn't told us it was an E bike before the runs, from "trail cam view" I wouldn't have known, because of how playful he was making it look. Knowing it up front...I could see him struggling a bit to get lift on his hops, and over exaggerating them, but on the whole...very impressive. ALSO.....VERY classy on his part not to "big time" you, and be super patient and helpful. That dude jumped up a few notches in my book after watching this!
    Another CLASSIC BKXC video. It's RIGHT in your lane, and I was entertained the entire time by you showing the triumphs and the fails. GREAT JOB on this one!

      @@bkxc .... I was trying to figure out what it is about your videos that is compelling, and it's that you show the good AND the bad, and see the humor in things. It also helps that you're willing to walk around talking to a camera in public, which is likely viewed as some sort of freak show by anyone who doesn't MTB. :-)

    Second of all, pleaseee go ride some bikepark. You've said it in the past, you don't like them. But they will improve your trail riding soo much. You have different sized features to build up confidence and you learn to judge speed depending on size. All of a sudden that opens up 4 different lines in one trail rather than just the main line.
    Man you've got the skills, its just commitment and confidence. Keep shredding man
