Hoping for the best, Day 1 of the BC Bike Race got off to a rough start. Cumberland is full of fantastic single track, but if you're stuck behind a slower riders, things get frustrating really quickly!

Great video! It really gives a good sense of the frantic nature of XC racing. My hard rate was elevated just watching.

Love the racer mentality. You were reeling in dudes left and right. Great fitness! Impressive for an enduro dirtbag..

This series of videos are some of my favorite ones to rewatch. You do an amazing job capturing the level of difficulty and competition .

Kinda strange how completely different vegetation grows in the clear cut blocks.
Awesome footage. It feels like I am there and I get caught in the moment. Very cool.

I'm so glad you posted this video. I crashed and broke my ankle on day 3 and couldn't finish the race. But I signed up again for next year. It will be good to take a look at the trails again through the eyes of someone so skilled. Fantastic performance!

Fantastic race footage. Nice job capturing the intensity and chaos of a race. You have great bike handling skills and the
strong motor! Those trails look great.

As soon as I saw that tape, I was worried it was going to wrap someone up, crazy that you were the only one! Great edit, I've gone on a marathon watching them all, fair to say you're one of the best MTB POV channels out there!

OK - so the dialog between you and the other bikers was HILARIOUS - and incredibly jovial. Nice camaraderie out there!

That was fun to watch! Self seeding is such a nightmare sometimes.

[rickwong]

That was so stressful just to watch! Great job on the stage and the edit. Look forward to seeing the rest

[berindea]

Despite all the chaos, that is some sweet singletrack man! Can't wait to see you race the other stages! Just out of curiousity, what tyres were you running? Seemed like Nobby Nic's, but I have those on my bike and they are a bit fragile.
