Video: Railing Corners in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island

 Thanks man!!

 skid?

 Hey man! Appreciate the concern for these local trails! Personally over my years of living in the valley I’ve built many of the existing trails and have helped with many as well. We have groups that we get together and maintain the riding on my Prevost every year and that amazing place is enjoyed by people all over the world.

For this video we did re back the corner in the first shot. The last shot was a step up built by Darren the CLAW! He also had given me permission to shoot a year back. After the shoot I hiked water up to the jump and re packed the lip.
I take great pride I. The trails are valley has to offer and appreciate every day I get to ride them

 I don't know who you think was skidding my guy

 @nicksdabomb: That’s great to hear, and thanks for the commitment to trail building and maintenance.

For context, Pinkbike recently posted a video correctly pointing out the damage roosting causes and telling people not to do it. Which is great, except that basically every edit posted on the site includes obvious roosting, which delivers a very different message.

So I know it’s neither effective or rad to post a psa at the end of these. And I don’t want to see cool shots of dirt flying disappear. But should these videos make some effort to adjust the message they send, and if so how should they do that?

 @Blackhat: the video was "things trail builders hate" and its true, trail builders hate skidding.. so if you are making dirt go flying while making edits, you best be packing a shovel with you and fix it up after as Nick has said he did.
Nothing wrong with pink bike putting out a video to raise awareness of the sustainability concerns.
Problem solved.

 @Blackhat: sometimes dirt sprays when you go as fast as you can. People aren’t going to ride slow to save the ails though. In the end it’s a sport and we’re all trying to better ourselves at it. Dirt sprays are sick and trail building make the biking world go round!

Plus ruts are sick

 @nicksdabomb: The point is not that *you* damaged trails - I'm sure you haven't. The point is that the video sends a message saying "skidding into freshly laid berms is cool". You fixed that berm but thousands of people who watched this and will go do the same thing won't.

 Agreed! And not only this video. More than 80% of videos that PB posts include some hot-shot video edits of oversliding rider killing trails with "shredding"...
