So you wanna ride the North Shore...

Nice helmet cam of the NS. It is an amazing experience, I would trade a day @ Whistler for a day here.. Now this is a mountain!! Takes forever to get to the bottom

Wiggles, recognize anything on this trail? We rode some of the sections when we were out a couple of years ago...

That is absolutely incredible! I'm amazed at how easy these guys make it look. I think I saw a section around the middle that I could ride...the part beside the paved road :P

:'(

I want to go back!

It is amazing to see the CBC trail and actually be able to know what is coming up next. Notice the extensive armoring - rock really is our friend.

What is impressive in the video is that the rider clears all but a few of the skinny's that count towards time off for the run - imagine riding them at speed during a race setting?!

The one thing the video never captures is the steepness of the slope - remember steep mountain (Mt Seymour)!

Roadtrip!
