I don't know anything about the people behind this video but it's a pretty cool slice of history. There's full rigid to full suspension in this video and plenty of riding straight into trees. I wouldn't do any of this on those bikes.
Also, Warner music is run by a bunch of assbloods that removed the music from this so crank up your favorite jam and watch history.

Now try to figure out what the trails are!
So my buddy and I drive all the way up there from Novato, CA and at the border, they ask us, why are you visiting Canada, we said proudly, "to Mountain Bike!" The lady looked at us weird and let us in.
Haruki hooked us up with Noel from a bike shop in Surrey, I forget the name, but I remember he had a sweet full suspension Cannondale Raven? I think it was. I was on a XC Cannondale M300 I think, with a Judy 80 up front.
At the trails, everyone would see our CA plates and were amazed that we drove all the way up there to ride their trails.
Noel and Haruki were awesome. I remember looking down the trail and not even knowing where the heck the trail went. Noel would go, "OK, ride up over that log, on top of that rock, wheelie drop on to that other log and then drop onto that slope"
Our mtn biking abilities and our ideas of what could be done on a bike shot up that week.
I lost track of Noel, but obviously Haruki has grown to become a world renowned mtn bike photographer that travels the world documenting this awesome sport.
Thank you Noel and Haruki for showing me some "extreme mtn biking!"
thank god for progression of he sport we love!!
