Ride the World: Mountain Biking Adventures in Squamish and Spain | Video

There’s something special about rolling into Squamish for the first time. For me, it all started with Treasure Trail—a name that sounds fun and friendly, but don’t be fooled. This trail is raw. Riding it on a short-travel bike might not be the obvious choice, but with a bit of skill and mindful technique, it’s a great reminder of how much control and flow you can find, even on challenging terrain.

The entrance hits you with tech right out of the gate. Roots, compressions, tight corners—all asking questions. But here's the secret: it’s not about the amount of travel; it’s about the amount of control. Dial in your braking. Shift your weight. Apply pressure at the right moments. When you do, even the gnarliest terrain starts to flow.

Treasure Trail sets the tone. And once your body’s in tune with the terrain, it’s time to explore Squamish’s greatest hits. From there we move on into Entrails to roll down Bony Elbows take a look at In N Out Burger slab. It appears like a wall in the woods—intimidating until you trust your tires and drop in with commitment. The grip is just sensational. Then there’s Donut, a slick and techy loop that dishes out grip challenges and line choices in equal measure.

These features may look overwhelming in videos or on Trailforks, but the magic of Squamish is that with a strong foundation—proper braking, centered body position, dynamic balance—you can ride almost anything. It’s less about charging and more about dancing with the terrain.
