Mostly just cosmetic. I've always loved the look of stacked rocks on features + we had to put them somewhere haha.

Reader Story: (RE)Building & Riding 'Poacher' in Squamish

Haha yes, destruction is imminent, it's built in one of the busiest trail networks in Canada. The goal was building it in such a way the damage would be less destructive on the features. -The sharkfin was built steep that if you can ride it and roll over it on the inside, it won't damage the shape of the jump. -The first landing will degrade with time but with a steeper bigger landing more riders will likely just hit the feature instead of going around. -The braid line was logged and nailed together. We also built a berm on the other trail which would make it very difficult trying to straight line it. With the improved run in i'm hopeful most riders will ride it from the trail. Thanks for reading! - Matt

@succulentsausage: I've put a ton of miles on my Fazua this summer and so far zero issues. I've found the motor has performed better then my Shiamno and it's way quieter! The whole point of the Relay is a lighter weight E-Bike, the Repeater has the larger motor. Thanks for checking out the video!

@BrianColes: It's hard to show the distance covered while still making the video interesting. We tried filming on locations that are further to access but unless you've been to the trails it's hard to convey. We also wanted to show that you can remove the battery for a more nimble bike if you want to ride more harder lines. Thanks for checking out the video!

Hard to show in the video but the battery was out for that shot, it's only a few pounds heavier than my patrol without the battery!
