The video's narrator and Yuka return to a bike park in Velmont, British Columbia, after visiting the year before. Initially, the park was "under the radar" but has everything a paid bike park would have, including big jumps and wall rides, and is open to the public for free.
Upon their return, they take advantage of the park's annual bike festival, which includes free shuttles, food, and festivities. They ride various trails, including the infamous "Toilet Bowl" and the challenging "Womp Rat" trail, which features a difficult skinny.
As they ride, they notice opportunities for progression throughout the park, with optional features that allow riders to push themselves. Yuka faces challenges and setbacks, including a painful crash, but continues to ride and eventually overcomes some obstacles.
The video highlights the park's trail network, which rivals those of paid bike parks, and credits Curtis, a local trail builder, for his contributions to the park's development. The bike park has helped revitalize the town, turning it into a mountain bike destination.
Overall, the video showcases the beauty and thrill of mountain biking in Velmont, as well as the park's unique features and the community that supports it.
