Steve Vanderhoek, a North Vancouver local known for building and sending some of the scariest lines in the Sea-to-Sky region, takes Métailler on a tour of his best spots to try find out.

When he’s not creating and riding incredible lines, Vanderhoek works as a firefighter in North Van. Having a day job doesn’t slow him down on the bike at all, though. If there’s anyone that find something to startle Métailler, it’s probably Vanderhoek.

Follow along for a full half-hour of the two freeriders sessioning and sending some of the hardest lines on Vancouver’s infamous North Shore.

More from Rémy Métailler:

“The Shore” as people call it is super gnarly! Theses lines are absolutely insane, I thought I will not attempt one of them.

Steve Vanderhoek is a local shredder! I first heard of him when he posted some crazy rock slab videos on Instagram, but he had also done a few parts for some bike movies around 15 years ago! I’m stoked I got to ride this insane stunts with him.
