Wet Roots are Terrifying(ly Fun)

As someone who really likes slow speed tech trails, Bookwus is definitely a hidden gem on the shore. It has a few super precise and janky moves...and it always happens to be wet. Like always. So I figured instead of blasting down this trail with end of summer hero dirt, I'd rather film this one the way it exists for the majority of the year (especially since the wet season has arrived). Slippery, scary, awesome. Enjoy!

Can you hear me yelling at you while you ride those wet roots? Shaking my head, Mom.

@mitchelljarvis2944 3 года назад

I’ve only done this trail once with perfect conditions, it was definitely one of the hardest trails I done, rode it well, but probably got lucky or on my a game cause I am afraid to even try a second time in the dry lol. Props man... that’s serious skill

@MTBhomie 3 года назад

Great riding, I've ridden this trail in the dry and it's still super sketchy they make it look easy

@earthymom68 9 месяцев назад

Wow - another trail I'll skip! (Even in primo conditions, lol.) Kudos! 🙌

@thepedalsadvocate7389 3 года назад

Lol. At 7 minutes... Dude in front almost LOST it. Haha.

Bookwus in the wet is brave. That trail is a great time in the dry, but it's jankier and harder than most of the other double blacks I've ridden around the lower mainland. In the wet, it's that much worse.

@Qinhaocheng Год назад

I had a similar crash yesterday, 1 meter before where you did, in a dry day. This trail requires so much brake control and precise lines.

@DaleStone Год назад

It's still a tough section even in the driest dry!

@HypnoToad248 3 года назад

I remember riding this trail when it was still a black on trailforks. Havent been back in a while and would defs like to try again, but I Still think i prefer 7th secret :) Quality vid again Dalé 👌

@DaleStone 3 года назад

Definitely worth a shot when it's bone dry haha. 7th is the wise choice for the next 8 months!

@allanmaynard8595 3 года назад

I rode this trail back in 2018 and it was completely dry! Props to you guys for riding it in the wet.......!! Someone has done a great job fixing up the trail.

@DaleStone 3 года назад

Totally agreed, many thanks to the builder/refurbisher!

@TProStudioCreate 3 года назад

That line looks like it would be insanely gnarly with tacky hero dirt. While it’s sloppy and wet it just looks mental! Super impressive clip just as always man.
