Yoan Barelli fährt zusammen mit Freerider Steve Vanderhoek die „Tour De Gnar“. Die zwei Kanadier haben dabei einige der anspruchsvollsten und gefährlichsten Features und Lines der Region auf ihrer Liste stehen und haken diese einen Tag lang ab. Dabei gehts nicht nur über Rock Rolls und steile Felsen, sondern auch über klassische Features aus Filmen wie New World Disorder.
I had this idea for quite some time already, sending all the gnarliest and some of the most iconic features of the Sea to Sky corridor, in one day, from Pemberton to Vancouver for a new and burly episode of Into The Gnar! This place has some of the most insane lines in the world, some are pretty new and some other are 10 to 15 years old, still holding, still waiting to be send. For this project I needed a team mate, someone who can go by feel, someone who can do one or two run ins at the most, and send it, safely, just one time, and moving on to the next one, for a full day. Steve Vanderhoek is the most raw talented rider I know, he sends it hard, he goes with feel and is a pretty good time, when I called told him about the idea, he said yes right away. Couple weeks ago all the stars aligned. Steve, Kelsey (Steve’s fiancé and videographer), Alex (young and talented shredder videographer), Travis (NF boss and photographer) and I were free for a full day at the same time. The project was going to happen !!! I had no idea it was going to be that hard, mentally and physically, it was 30 degrees, super dry and loose, the conditions were pretty sketchy!! Finishing the day with Steve’s line and the top part that I’ve never ridden before was one of the most committing moves I’ve ever had to do.I was drained, and this thing is beyond crazy.. After that, everything seemed easy hahaha !!! I simply can’t wait for our next project.
