OTB Crash Attempting Hardest Skinnies @ Puslinch Ontario MTB Trails - Mountain Biking Group Ride

My friends are trying to find a skinny I won't ride... this skinny has no real spot to recover... as one of us finds out the hard way!

0:00 Coming Up & Intro
0:29 Puslinch trails Description
0:54 Trail Map
1:40 Foretract Lake + First Climb with lose medium sized rocks
2:00 Flowy trails
2:55 Small Log Pile - There are several like this of various sizes. Most are on the smaller size - especially compared to Hydrocut
3:05 Rocky Uphill Climb Success!
3:20 Flow
3:40 Climb Success!
3:50 Flow
4:09 Blue Skies coming out of the woods
4:17 Mini-Skinny with a slightly trick ending, you just need to pay attention to a couple rocks nothing crazy.
4:30 Skinny - Biggest one at Puslinch, highest from the ground, and no real way to recover if things go south once you commit. I'd recommend trying this last of all the skinnies at Puslinch if you are not already comfortable with skinnies.
5:00 6 Sisters to the Right - Video evidence of your "friend" suggesting suicide climbs is always good to have... just in case.
5:25 Vote for Death - Ever feel like your vote doesn't count? ;)
5:53 6 Sisters on the Left
6:00 Two Way Trails - Some trails are one way, others are bi-directional - keep your head up at Puslinch as all trails are two ways.... although for some reason our "Trail Guide" Nick decided going the most difficult way up 6 Sisters was the best way to go.
6:58 When you realize it's twice the effort you signed up for
7:20 GoPro does not show how close our tires really are here...
8:05 Monster Hill Climb... you know it's steep when you have trouble walking up a hill. Props to whoever can climb this, it's steep!
8:32 What Friend Andrew?
8:50 Hill Climb Fail - I just try not to fall backwards and use the roots as steps
9:17 Regrets 6 Sisters
9:47 Line Choice Tips for Amateurs - Picking Lines Carefully is as important as technique!
10:17 Tools for the Trail are a great idea and keeps Marks pedal firmly attached at the crank.
10:23 Making our way to the slightly downhill skinny with a drop at the end
10:29 Near Crash - If you've been following you know I separated my shoulder in a huge crash at the start of the season. I just rubbed my elbow on these two trees while skidding around them.... ooops.
10:48 Small Log Pile
11:00 Fast Uphill - Using momentum to my advantage here
11:20 DH Skinny Drop - we are at the bottom of the skinny drop, and pretty tired at this point. Although they are trying to dissuade me from trying it... I know I've got the energy left in me I just needed a short break.
12:30 Rock Feature - small rocks to go down... nothing big but awkward enough.
12:43 Flow Flow Flow, very nice trail section. Riding this blind so trying to be safe.
13:50 Trying to Escape, but Nick has other plans
14:47 It was at this moment, he knew he messed up.
15:11 We find our way to the out trail this time
17:40 Trail Through the Gap in the Tree - watch your pedals! I can see why some people would want shorter pedals at times.
18:10 Back at the Parking Lot, thanks for riding with us!
