A "Pro Line" is Harder Than a Double Black ♦️, This Trail Had 4 of Them! 😨

All right, how many signs do you need? Like two pro line signs, a danger, another danger. So what could possibly be on the other side of this rock? I think I might have to pace myself today. And you know what, I'm also going to do myself a favor so I don't chafe my knees because I'm wearing my not favorite knee pads. I don't know why but I find this stuff to look so appealing. Yeah, hey what's up? Not too bad. This maelstrom is super fun too. It's a blue, but it's like wicked wicked flowy and fast. That's what a lot of people have said. So I've heard a lot about Wolverine so that's where we're headed. I'm going to sound like a total fan girl. Can we get a picture? Yeah, absolutely. One question for you man. Are you actually, your park that you're building, are you opening that to the public? No, that's just my backyard. However, this has been kind of like the game plan all along. This is like even before I started my YouTube channel, like I wanted to open up my own bike park of some sort, just like I didn't have the financial means. YouTube was kind of like the stepping stone to kind of like get to the next level. So like as like you know mountain biking is evolving, the style of bike park is also evolving because like this kind of stuff like is new where it's like more like car assisted laps where you can just park the car, do a bunch of laps, come back to the car, get some food. It's probably not going to be soon, but the goal is to eventually do something. Well yeah, we're gonna go head to the top and uh yeah likewise. I might do my intro up here now that the crowd has dispersed a little bit. I don't know if it shows up on camera, but there's literally condensation inside the lens. We are here just out of Quebec City on the other side of Sentier du Moulin and we are about to go ride Wolverine and maybe Sub City. We'll see depending on how much energy we had. Yesterday we were out riding the Sentier du Moulin section which is kind of like more quick hot laps. This is more of like an adventure ride. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention Hayley is along for the ride today. She was along for the ride yesterday, but sometimes I forget to introduce her on my videos because I know some people this might be your first video watching. Yeah a lot of times I'm traveling and I'm doing it for my work because that's what I do for a job and she's off doing you know smart people things like doing science in the lab. Okay so we are jumping on Wolverine. We got, looks like we got some techy little climbing, but we have some traversing to do. Well that's how you start a trail. You build a giant rock slab. So yesterday when we were riding the other section I kept wiping off the lens because I thought it was getting muddy, but what I kind of forgot about is I'm a very sweaty human being and my gloves were completely drenched in my own sweat so every time I'd wipe the lens I would actually make it worse. That was actually a pretty steep little punch. Whoa. All right so I know I've said many times and it should come to no surprise to most people that I am not, you know I didn't start mountain biking because I like climbing. With all that said I do like technical climbs. I find them fun and challenging in the same ways I find downhill challenging, but oh I just, I'm, I'm very much into the technical side of mountain biking and not the fitness and aerobic side. Oh this is good. This is real good. I think now we're getting into the meat and potatoes. Oh this is so cool. Okay there's a pro line sign up ahead. That's a rock garden. I'm trying to figure out what part is a pro line because like honestly the rock roll looks easier. All right it's got really good grip. I think the hardest part about the pro line is getting to the pro line. All right dropping in. That was wicked cool. All right what kind of fun stuff are we getting into over here? Okay. I slammed my chain right up there. I didn't think you were going to make it through that section. Oh yeah over that hump? Yeah. Look at that. This is more chunky tech than I'm done with. Yeah that is interesting. Oh another fun little dangerous. As long as you don't go off the trail it's not dangerous. As long as you don't crash you're fine. Man fantastic rock work here. The pink bigfoot goes to the right. I'm not pink bigfoot so I will go this way. Okay this is like the rock roll on super g so don't look at it just go for it. All right let's do this. Oh that's cool. Oh my feet just one foot got soaked. There's a cool outside line. I didn't see the entrance forward but definitely decided to exit. All right let's see what this drop is like. I mean it was a drop. Now it's a roll. If you can roll it it is not a drop. All right got like two pro line signs, a danger, another danger. So what could possibly be on the other side of this rock? All right all right this reminds me a lot of the manager at Whistler. Yeah I won't be gapping into this one. This one is a pro line. It's like steep enough where it's like you're going into a quarter pipe. Oh my god. You ready? All right drop it in. You know the only difference between this and the manager is this one's actually a little bit slippery because there's water. This is cool. Oh yeah I like this. I like this a lot. Wow that's such a cool little rock formation. This trails a lot. Yeah should get you and Daryl full face. I was looking at them. There's a very steep rock roll in the middle. It's actually pretty good but there's like a bit of a chunky turn. Then there's like it looks like there's an outside line to the left but honestly it looks like the outside line is much harder just because of its proximity to everything. All right chunky. Heck yeah Haley. That last little pitch was steeper than I expected. Yeah and then I was like pick your poison. I feel like there's something loose on my bike. Yeah my front wheel was a little bit loose. That's not too bad. Got a little uh slippery at the bottom there. All right so I mean I haven't seen this. All right so it's got like a few steps into like a bit of a wooden bridge and then you got a little bit of a slapper turn. All right drop it in. I wasn't sure how much uh slowing down I was going to be able to do on that bridge. Feel good? Oh it's not bad. All right so yeah if we go down this way we should get to Slab City and whatnot. We survived Wolverine. All right so we're gonna be riding on the road for a few miles or maybe just like a mile or so. All right apparently Klondike is a really fun climb. All right so if you're looking at the map here um our plan so we're right here. Our plan is to go up to Klondike, take Chemin de Lynx all the way over, and then once we get to this intersection with uh Cut-Du-Lynx and Vortex we can take this down and then I think right here we'll be able to jump onto Chemin de Coyote and do Haute Maelstrom and then we can go down the rest of Maelstrom. So that is our plan for you following along. Sorry. I feel like I'm at an amusement park ride. I don't know why. This is just much different than any other climb I've done in recent memories at least. Honestly I want to go down this. Hey how's it going? I like your work. How is uh Empire 47? Empire 47 we call them we call it E47. Okay. It's where I bring people to learn but yeah it's worth it it's if you have a couple of days it's worth to try. For four days I'd do one day at E47 and three here. What's your name? I'm Philip. Are you Philippe or Philip? Philippe. Okay have a good one guys. Two-way. This is very cool. I don't even care if I'm not shredding. I'm like a I'm going over here. No drones. Oh wow that was very cool. This is tricky. This is rad. This is so cool. Jeff Ranowski where are you? I'm good. Get it get it? Yeah there we go. I wasn't expecting this to be a trail ride. I don't like being defeated. Yes oh my god. So jumping up and your front tire you were just you just needed your front tire to get traction on that rock and the second that it did it like caught. I'm more stoked about that than Wolverine. Hey thank you. What's your name? My name is Chris. A pleasure to meet you guys. Yeah we're gonna take Chemin Coyote to upper Melchor. Perfect I guess we're going the same direction. Yeah this is cool. It's not high mountains but just enough for what we do. This is some of the best mountain biking and yeah like you know if I get a flat it sucks but it's not that far to get back to the parking lot. Do you mind if I follow you down this? No. No sweet. Slippery rocks. Wow what the heck? What is this place? Am I a mountain biker or am I at Disneyland? Good save. Yes don't let my riding deceive you. This stuff is uh really tricky. Case in point just dabbed. All right we got a drop or something. Sometimes the hardest part too is just staying on the ridges. That was cool. Nice riding. That was the tougher part. Yeah the balance of it is really my strength is right there and six minutes from there to the top. Okay that there's so many like even the climbs over on that side awesome. It's not boring. She a few years ago she shattered her ankle. Okay. She's slowly been getting back to not her skill level because her skill level has gotten better and better but her confidence has taken a while to catch up to where her riding abilities are. A lot of those like little punches up I was like I do not have an hour to do those. I'm walking a lot more than I wanted to on this trail. All right so the mail storm section was equally just as cool as stuff over on the Sentier du Moulin side of things so definitely worth checking out. It flew under the radar like I mean not Wolverine but like the other stuff was almost more cool than Wolverine I would say. So anyways if you haven't checked out the last video I did from the other side of Sentier du Moulin I'll leave a link to that in the description below. As always my name is Tom Lutz. Thanks for playing bikes with me today. I'll see you guys next time. Peace!
