The third stop of my BC mountain bike trip this year is Golden. Mount 7 is a world wide known spot for avid Mountain Bikers and has a variety of trails including Dead Dog, the World's Steepest Trail. We rode it in the past, but this time things took a different turn...

@MTB_Corbin 5 дней назад

That's wild. I really appreciate you making the note "this isn't safe" and "it's not worth it" then refocusing to walk down. The most important trail of the day is the next one!

@fillfreakin2245 4 дня назад

And then just acknowledging that it's also a confidence thing, once you lose confidence in yourself, you're better off walking. This doesn't happen much to Remy, but for all of us mere mortals it happens more regularly when we encounter something at our limits. Once you lose confidence, if you just push through and keep riding that's when bad things can happen. I think because you naturally stiffen up and/or back off your bike which is the exact opposite of the loose & centred position you need to be able to ride safely.

Absolutely one of the most high consequence trails around AND one of the toughest to ride. There is a limit, and Dead Dog sits riiiight on it. Crazy to think people used to ride these on ancient bikes with ancient technology, going faster than any one of us ever would these days! Even crazier to think Johnny Helly did it in like 34 seconds or something... Awesome video Remy, good choices and exciting ride afterwards!

@Flex-Jitsu 5 дней назад

Another great video Remy! This is the first time I've seen you have a difficult time on steeps. I guess you're human, lol. It's good to see you show people here that it's okay to walk down a feature if it's not safe.

@remymetailler 5 дней назад

@tekjim 4 дня назад

Just looked up this Dead Dog track. It is double black Diamond, voted as Proline grade. 311m length and 148m descending. That is over 45% decline on shale rock!!

I shitted my pants when Remi said "C'est ultra dangereux"

@remymetailler 5 дней назад

@mtb_andrei 4 дня назад

On camera it doesn't look that steep but just hearing Remy say that it is not safe. I love that Remy puts safety before fun and making a video. This reminded me when Remy went with Seth on the white trail and Remy said that it is not worth it to risk your life just for a video.

@casestudymtb 5 дней назад

Anyone else remember the last time Remy rode dead dog in the wet and was like "never again"?

@remymetailler 5 дней назад

Yep I do..

@MarcSherwood 5 дней назад

When your camera points back up the trail, it is much more clear just how steep this trail is. When you look back and talk with him, you can see that he is ten feet away, but 15 feet above you. That is not a trail, it is a MTB free fall jump 🙂

@pennybridgefreeriders 5 дней назад

Hugging two trees in one run must be a new record for you buddy!! Glad you’re fine 👌

@jordan.ho11 5 дней назад

Even at the best of times you have to be so precise on that trail - not too much braking at the wrong time or instant back wheel slip out. I rode it in dusty summer and that top layer of dirt was like ball bearings. In rain legit seems impossible

@mrsmartypants_1 5 дней назад

Damn the camera just doesn’t capture the steepness. Any estimate of the slope angle? BTW appreciate you including vid of you being humbled. It makes us normal mountain bikers feel better. We often get humbled 😏

@tekjim 4 дня назад

148m over 311m. 47.5degrees!

@mrsmartypants_1 4 дня назад

@@tekjim Come on. I used to be an extreme skier and the standard was if you are standing straight up and reach your arm straight out and can touch the slope it is at 50° (or more). Unfortunately i found mountain biking late in life and will never be the rider that i am a skier. But if you are in the ballpark that is amazing.

@tekjim 4 дня назад

@mrsmartypants_1 I just did the maths and that would have to mean your fingers touch the ground when standing up (including bindings and ski height). If you can touch the snow from the side you would be well over 60degrees. Kudos for riding something so gnarly!!!

@craigsteele8178 4 дня назад

Gotta be one of the fastest steepest hardest trails in the World! You could tell in the frustration of Remy's voice how difficult it was to him. Remy is one the best in the world and I think one of the safest forward thinking riders of our generation. Much Respect bro!...

This is one those situations where remi is great at what he does but shows his skill in the mud clay dirt he isn't used to ...all those Injury's make u skeptical to safety when 8 years ago u where fearless ...

@alanmartinezrodriguez884 5 дней назад

GoPros are awesome but I really wish they would, somehow, capture how steep are some terrains. Sometimes I show videos to my family of me descending some really steep hills but they barely notice it and I even have to tell them. Hopefully someday they will improve and get closer the human eye and brain which are able to perceive steepness.

@FortisFilmsChannel 5 дней назад

If Remy walk the trail no body can roll it. It is satisfying to know the limit of what is not possible to ride. Nice raw video Rémy. I like it when you speak french ;-)

@LamSanga 4 дня назад

Gnarly and crazy. I appreciate the moment when you said : I totally lost my confidence earlier [...] It's a reminder during rides to sometimes take extra measures because you're not feeling it due to conditions. Whilst other times, you can try to shake it off. Either way, the level you ride, the margin of error and amazing riding is sooo slim. 💪💪💪

I broke my arm running down a hill when hiking. I'm not super scared of going downhill, walking or riding my bike. It does suck to be so fearful though, I'm hoping i can overcome my fear.

@daveawb 5 дней назад

"look how steep that is" It looks flat to me 😂 I wish that cameras could somehow capture heights and depths that we can perceive. The only indicator of how ridiculously steep this is is the angles the trees grow from the mountainside. Once you got through that first section, the trail looked so good.

Hey Remy, throughout your riding career have you of any of your riding friends suffered a traumatic straddle injury? I’m really just curious to hear from anyone who has experienced it, I suffered this type injury on the Labour Day long weekend and it seems to be quite a rare injury that’s basically isolated to cyclists, gymnastics and children. I recently came back to riding after over a decade off and started riding this spring to be down already, at least it’s super cool to dive into your channel and see so many unique places. I’v been watching your channel all day, thanks for sharing your journey and thanks for making my recovery just a bit better! Happy trails out there!

It was destroyed! Rock slides that covered the trail,exposure, brutal hike downs. It wasn’t even really a trail at this point in time. By bottom I couldn’t even get myself to ride the little stuff at bottom. Confidence shot! BUT, we still talk and laugh about that day as we all escaped uninjured.
