As a Canadian who lives in an area where winter is a reality and not just a temporary experience, I kinda enjoy watching the lower mainland and island descend into chaos when a snowstorm rolls in 😅 I lived through one good storm on the island a decade ago and Victoria pretty well shut down for 2-3 days until melt and rain took the snow away.
I like the day after it snows here. I can drive and nobody is around. I can drift through the streets/parking lots and laugh at the commuter cars who get stuck
you guys are wild. I did a thanksgiving snow ride, and I'm still healing an injury from that day lol. Thanks for all you do! P.S. I love your music selections, always bangers
Give a like just for the fact they had to stop so many times just to set up the cameras and come back for them each time in the cold! That's dedication!
Top recommendation for warmer hands; get some wrist warmers to help bridge the transition between jacket/long sleeve and gloves. Really helps to keep the blood in the small arteries warm on the way to the hands. You can buy them or easily make them out of a pair of socks. Just snip off the toe end and even create a thumb hole to keep everything in place and super layered. Mahalo my duuudes!
Went for a winter commute in Calgary and ate it on some black ice but I thought, heck I have worse falls MTBing! Glad it looked like you two made it out in one piece!
Driving at this time is unpleasant, but adding a video shoot is hardcore !! Thank you for the quality of the video in such weather conditions! Thats is a kind of the Christmas mood video!))
You should come back to Quebec city next winter. You can ride the trails you rode last summer (e47, Sdm, MSA, vbn), but with a proper fatbike. Really fun!
We ride all year and brake screech is normal. For once because rotors are damn cold, second if you ride streets, you get solvents all over your brakes, got to wash and sand them afterwards, each time which is a bummer…😅
It's lovely riding on the empty streets and white mountains, while everyone is at home. In my country it doesn't snow a lot and it's a thrill when it does.
Some of my most memorable rides were at Elizabeth Furnace in the GW national forest in conditions like that. It helps to have a few crazy friends to call at 11pm in a 25 degree sleet storm and invite you out for a ride.
Winter video suggestion: you guys should build a jump out of a pile of snow( usually from a snowplow) I’ve done this a few times this winter and it’s a lot of fun. Just make sure you pack it in extremely well, cause it doesn’t pack in or hold weight as well as dirt.
Happily bowing to Canadian Winter from Vancouver to Moncton and here in Winnipeg. Well done guys, love to see Vancouver someday (maybe not in the winter though.)
Seriously love the transit jokes, the buses during the last months snowpocaplypse were horrendous. Glad you two got out and made a rad video in the snow, your suffering was most enjoyed. Hope you both got something warm in you after you cut the video.
You guys are nuts, that was insane. I live lower Lonsdale area and I wasn't really out walking.I didn't trust the drivers to stay on the roads. Good video and Happy New Year's to all you on the channel.
Well, here in Ontario, we ride all year around...in winter usually with studded tires. Some use fat bikes, but I can't be bothered. Hitting some of the snowy track on the North Shore would be a blast!
I live in Sweden snow and cold is a reality and also the darkness. You should buff up with more clothes 😅 I’m out biking when it’s cold. I’m sure you should have more lumens if going out on the trails. Sorry Trek, other lights for the purpose with external battery packs.
Riding In the snow is great fun, I do it whenever it snows but u gotta build a jump and tow someone in on a sledge, your never to old to behave like a child now and then.🤟
Look a the brake noise as the horn section of the music. I would say get a fat bike for this type of riding but you are in Vancouver, you don't usually get a lot of snow...well I don't think you do. Actually get a fat bike anyways, they are a lot of fun. Cheers from New Brunswick.
Dumb? Can bicycling ever be dumb? 🤔 A couple questions based on the clarity of the video: Are you using a GoPro or other brand? If GoPro, would you please share your settings? I have a GP9 and my night video is best described as "meh". Thanks and thank you for posting! 👍
