Good, how are you? 今天的計劃是什麼? Let's paddle up 30 shades So we can drop in from the top And carry some speed into the new build Sounds good Let's do it I'm excited Yeah man, me too That's gonna be fun For sure It's been a while since I've ridden Pamplomousse On to Pamplomousse It's been a while Fun trail though Oh wow This got eroded but It's holding up really well actually So Pamplomousse is one of the most popular trails Here in Squamish It's pretty easy to ride But it's got some nice challenges Nice It's fun It's holding up really well For how much traffic it's getting Oh nice Such a beautiful forest as well So we are going on to the drop option I haven't gone here in quite some time Nice It's good, it's riding well Some nice condition right now It's thick Nice dude So here's the split So all Pamplomousse New Pamplomousse I'm getting Yeah, that's right That's awesome Nice, that was good right Let's check it out Okay, let's do it So yeah, I think it's gonna flow really well Coming from Pamplomousse Just a little bit of pedaling And then on to a new good addition To the Squamish trail network And so this is a both way trail right No, no, just this end Oh okay, just this end, perfect It's a really nice forest This is gonna be a great way to have less traffic on drag Yeah, makes a lot of sense That's sick Yeah Okay That was fun Yeah Yeah dude That was sick It actually flows really nicely What is it, like a blue trail? Yeah, it'll be like a light blue That rollover is good It's kind of blind Yeah, yeah Into the right And the double you pull You really have to go for it I know, you can't cruise into that You gotta Okay James So tell us a little bit about that new trail Yeah, so we're on lower Pamplomousse now So this is an extension of the upper trail It's a trail concept that I came up with and pitched Five or six years ago And then had to go through all the formal process Sorka took it over and put it out to the public for bids So eventually came back around And it was awarded to me through a merit-based system And here we are, built it That's the short form anyways So you built Pamplomousse in 2018 or 2019? Yeah It's been one of the most popular trails in Squamish And this is basically the extension What was the idea behind it? So I mean the main priority for this trail Has always been to try and reduce Some of the potential conflict on jacks And to try and get the downhill riders off of jacks basically Because jacks is the access behind us, right? Yeah, it's right there It's a popular trail for all users The bikers, hikers, runners The tourists of Dallas Lake Mushroom pickers, the whole lot So as the trail network starts to get a little busier We need to think about ways to reduce conflict So pulling the mountain bikers off Because people come down Pamplomousse And they're all fired up And then they rip down jacks And things can get a bit ugly So that was the main priority But obviously creating a really unique trail With some beautiful scenery And a fun descent With some cool little features and stuff It's beautiful But it must have been challenging to build Because it's off-camber Yeah On the side of the mountains There's a ton of beautiful boulders Which make it very, very pretty But it must have been quite a challenge Yeah, it was a challenge the whole way through And it was really fun and interesting Doing it with a little machine Because the small machine It's more like hand building Because when you're building by hand The forest already knows where the trail is supposed to be You just have to sort of listen to the woods And figure that out for yourself So I think with a big machine Sometimes people kind of Pile through the woods a bit too quickly Without thinking about it too much But with the small machine You're letting the forest Dictate where the trail is going And so I was able to do that And build the trail really well And how long is that new section? It's only about 600 meters But it connects to a lower credit line So it ends up being About a kilometer of extra trail By the time you link up that bottom bit But that kilometer is probably like A good minute 30 or so of cool effort Yeah It's not that much downhill No, no But somehow you can still get Some really cool speed Which is awesome And how long did that take to build all that? It took the better part of four months to build it Sort of three or four weeks Working around daycare and stuff And how much does that cost to build a trail like this? It was about $30,000 to build this trail So you're looking at Somewhere around $55, $60 a meter So it was not a cheap trail But I think it was really good value for SORCA SORCA, which is a local cycling association That manages the mountain bike trails Yeah, exactly So they looked after the permitting for this process And all the networking with the Spanish First Nation And the province in getting the permitting Yeah, because that trail So on what land is that trail built? Yeah, so it is crown land But it's in the process of transitioning Into First Nation private land So Spanish First Nation And it's just a bit of a drawn-out process And eventually it will become their own land But SORCA has entered into an agreement To help to manage the trail network on their land OK And so obviously this trail is sanctioned Since it's been done properly with SORCA That means that you got Section 57 SORCA handled all of that? Yeah, so they went through the environmental consultation And discussed it with all the stakeholders And obviously they need to decide Whether it's a priority for the community Because it's public funding And there's lots of really important projects And lots of maintenance that needs to be done So it's not just any trail Yeah, that's awesome By the time this video comes out Trail should be open People can find it on Trailfork I'll put a link down below Now what's next for you? I see you got the Ride BC T-shirt Can you tell us a little bit about that? Yeah, so a couple of small digging projects That carry me through the rest of the spring here And then I transition into the guiding and the coaching Which is all the way through the riding season Until October So this will be season number 10, I think So it's been going for a while now And it's great So I sort of have a niche now With more experienced riders And the coaching is primarily locals And Vancouver people But it's a great business Just hanging out in the woods Awesome, and I guess you take the customers On to some of the trails you built So we got Lower Pomplamoose Pomplamoose, what else have you been building around here? I haven't built a ton of new trails In Squamish specifically I mean the Donuts and a number of rebuilds But most of the contracts I've taken have been In other parts of BC, on Vancouver Island Even in Central America So there's been lots of interesting projects Most of the work locally in Squamish Is more like maintenance Rebuilding existing trails So the trails that I can't put my name to But I put a lot of time and effort into But that's fine Because the maintenance is arguably more important Than building new trails That's awesome And people who come and ride Squamish How can they support the trails? Yeah, they can make a donation to SORCA Through Trailforks or directly on their website And then just supporting businesses in Squamish That support the trails I mean I think they do that One of the components is one of the big donators of SORCA Yeah, for sure Okay, awesome Well, I think we should go and give another lap Of Upper Pomplamoose and Lower Pomplamoose Yeah, sweet, let's do it Okay, lap number two of Pomplamoose Such a cool corner Definitely getting pretty dark now Such a good use of the rock Yeah, this is really fun I probably turn my braking into the corner You want to brake before the corner like this And let go Yeah, nice Yeah, you really don't want to stress the drop Just like a nice entrance speed And that's good enough Super fun Much better the second time Yeah Oh, sweet Okay, a bit of uphill Well, it's easy Yeah, it's nothing to get your heart rate up too much No, no James, if I don't complain about the uphill It's because it's not super hard Otherwise, you'll hear me on the back Just complaining about everything It's amazing, like, second time down It's rolling faster now Yeah It's brighter, a little brighter down here too Yeah Yeah, it's so dark right now It's the pressure I thought you were going pretty slow to it I saw you were like lacking a bit of intensity Oh my god At least it's a nose case Yes Good to know Yeah, buddy Dude, that was fun That was awesome That nose case was a bit terrifying, but That's what I did on the first lap Under a day getting tired, that's all good That was sick Thanks everyone for watching that video I hope you enjoyed it Thanks James for showing me the new trail If you are curious about James' services Check out ridebc.ca There is a link down below And as always, if you want to support the channel Simply like this video Leave me a comment, make sure you subscribe And if you are curious about the products I'm riding Check out all the links down in the description There is also some pretty cool discounts So you can save some money See you next week
