Video: Remy Metailler Follows Chris Kovarik in Pemberton

May 20, 2021
by Rémy Métailler  

Chris Kovarik is the corner master. Always rocks the flat pedals, drifts most of the time but also can be super-efficient. Some of you may remember that time where he put down 14 seconds to second place during his winning run in Fort William, 2002.

For this video we rode some of Chris's favourite trail in Pemberton, Overnight Sensation.

Shout out to the builders and PORCA: PORCA.

Last time I had rode with Chris, we had ridden Hey Bud in Whistler.


Chris's signature move!

 That was absolutely epic. Love the raw style and speed of Kovarik on flats, drifting like the boss he is! Probably my favorit rider to what.

 These trails look sweet, love watching Remy's vids. It always leaves me with questions though as I don't see anyone bashing him for posting these trails. I'd love to live in a place where its not taboo to post gopro videos of the best trails. Is this really the culture up there in B.C.? How do you guys manage this?

Or are these all legal riding areas? If so, how'd you manage that?

 This trails are legal and on the map. They are also maintained by the awesome local community and trail association.

 Remy has a new damper on his DVO onyx? the HSC and LSC dials are different, though hope they are not doing away with the lsc lever.

 Skidding, drifting and making up your own lines, awesome shredding, I love it.
Not so good if you liked Ciabattas ‘not to do list’
