The Valley is Tight, Technical and Old-School

Exploring new stuff is (almost) always a good time. Thankfully I can send ‪@VanCan‬ and ‪@ddangerousddave‬ ahead to scout what's what haha. Turns out the valley is pretty janky, enjoy!

    Dave's endo turns are fantastic! I actually enjoy the trail banter between you guys. Might I suggest you get Dave mic'd up so we can hear him better without needing to crank up the volume. Also nice to see VanCan make an appearance 👍

    Don't know if you've already done it, but you should check out Arduum which is right by this trail. There's a ton of rock on it which I'm sure you'll enjoy as there are numerous line options, all challenging. Don't attempt when wet. Lower down are some big features including some hits that recently received a lot of love.

    Ok, I know this is your vid Dale, but mostly Dave comments from me this week. That sustained nose pivot by Dave followed by a quick pivot the other direction was ridiculous. Soooo cool. And as Lynx mentioned, Dave’s fitness seems to have improved… well, mostly, lol! he did let out one of his classic complainy “aaaaahs” near the end when he suggested you lead. And the bonus log ride at the end - again, super cool. Anyway, love watching you all ride as a group!

    Thanks ! In France I can't find such trails, I have to pedal uphill first, I'm left with way less energy for handling the downhill, so I'm almost glad all I find is way less techy ;) Maybe I'll search some more and try to spend more time DH ;)

    Ahah, ok ! Thanks for clarifying! gravel road sounds easyer to climb that what I get which is mostly the same up than down. But still, behind most of your vids I wasn't sure but I now understand there's probably a pedal stroke behind each inch of elevation even when not on video. That's still a lot more effort than I put in for now, especially with your DH bikes. Congrats!
