30 minutes of riding & a lifetime of memories | Mountain Biking Spain with BasqueMTB

[@basqueMTB]

Thanks for taking the guides for an extra ride Brian! They had an absolute blast.

[@bkxc]

I'll remember it for a long time!!

[@JustShpigel]

Spain looks like such a mountain biker's dream! It's just so awesome, this trail looks so technical..

[@bkxc]

It really is, tons of PROPER mountain biking!

[@dennismckee7934]

You rock - thanks for being an encouraging model for fellow bikers, adventurists, and KZbinrs

[@bkxc]

That’s what it’s all about!!

[@rogierlicht2595]

So cool to see you ride with Zumai and Eñaut. Zumai guided us on the same trip one week earlier. Eñaut guided us in april 2022 on the Backcountry trip. Both trips were inspired from watching your videos and both were amazing. Thanks for that 🤙🏻

[@bkxc]

That's awesome!

[@JTBikeAdventures.]

What a beautiful trail system. That would be a dream to ride. Love all of your Spain videos. The Spanish super cut video is one of my favorite.

[@bkxc]

That's so cool to hear!!

[@Bessunger]

STUNNING

Love from india 🇮🇳♥️

[@Biking_with_Akiva]

What an adventure 🤙🏾💯 Brian you are killing it out there 💪🏾

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much dude!

[@paterjo8561]

Great scenery, beautiful video, and love your riding. I don't remember this trail so hopefully will get a chance to check it out next time.

[@bkxc]

Not sure!

[@rmbtd]

Freaken awesome stuff. Also, this is probably the most silent bike you've had. Did you notice that? Any changes or differences that you made?

[@bkxc]

Haha, the bikes are always silent when they're brand new!! I really hope it stays that way, but they always start to make noise after a few rides.

[@necessarychanges4387]

It's been about a year since I last watched a video of yours, and wow, I must say you've gotten way better, Brian! Supa Steezy!

[@bkxc]

Thanks, little by little!!

[@Eric.V.]

After all the YT videos of reviewers kicking and beating the shit outta this derailuer, i thought it was supposed to be indestructible! Great video 😎👍

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha, exactly!! That replacement part is $180!!

[@Eric.V.]

Jesus Christ 😳😎

[@Acousticmarine678]

Looks like livestock trails to me. Mountains are beautiful, good hiking trail. You might try adding some music to your videos.

[@shannonmtb]

Great video and location

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@andrianpratama8831]

Men I like your laugh 😄

[@paterjo8561]

Maybe I missed it but can you identify which trail this is?

[@pulganabike1648]

Do you go down these trails with clips on your shoes?

[@bkxc]

Yup

[@tomassanesson902]

Amazing video🤙🤙

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@douglaskaye1395]

Is that the GX derailleur or the XO transmission?

[@bkxc]

XX Transmission

[@underthedrone2735]

Rock and Roll! Did you see the new Insta360 Ace Pro action camera yet. You might want one for your videos. Looks better than Go Pro or DJI IMHO.

[@bkxc]

I don't think the stabilization is good enough to keep me from getting motion sickness while editing, and keep you from getting motion sickness while watching! If something beats the GoPro I will switch in an instant, but nothing has yet.

[@underthedrone2735]

@@bkxc You should check out 'The Loam Ranger's" video. Fantastic stabilization with the Ace Pro. In good light the Go Pro is fine but in low light, the Ace wins. Just a thought. Your content is great and fun. I figured you would like to level up a little. The X3 is really fun too as well as the Go 3.

[@charleswhite7612]

What trail is that Brian? I’m planning to head back over to Europe & want to hit Spain.

[@bkxc]

Your guess is as good as mine! I didn't have Strava going. I don't remember the town we rolled into after. Just go with BasqueMTB and let them shuttle you up and take care of everything!

[@charleswhite7612]

@@bkxc Sounds good! Thanks for the reply. Hope to meet you someday. I have some very interesting coincidences to share. I first saw you on you initial Oakridge, OR video. Im an MBO guide each summer and hope you and Sarah can be our guest someday, maybe next summer!😃👌

[@charleswhite7612]

Have you ridden the Pass Porte near Chatel France?

[@bkxc]

I don't think I have!

[@Acousticmarine678]

When are you going to do a video on the Palisade Plunge?

[@bkxc]

Eventually! I haven't been super excited to do the 30 mile version. I'll just do the 15 mile down version

[@Acousticmarine678]

Just skip the top 10 mile or so and drop in at shirt tail point, you don't have to carry so much water but still get all the down hill the ride offers@@bkxc

[@willienillie6337]

I get headaches during rides, especially when it’s hot weather.

[@bkxc]

Get your hydration sorted out!

[@davewalsh8278]

So, are you still being sponsored by Ibis? I thought you had parted ways.

[@bkxc]

Not sponsored, but if they want to send me a bike I'll take it!

[@davewalsh8278]

@@bkxc can't say I blame you :D

[@TrailFeatures]

Title says 30 minutes of riding, but video is only 20:45? I'd like a coupon to redeem 9:15 of riding on my next visit! (I'll also accept Brian listening to me talk about some obscure tech fact for 5 minutes next time I see him.)

[@bkxc]

Haha, 30 minutes for me, 20 minutes for you!

[@ToddNZMTB]

Who throws a shoe, honestly 🤓

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha

[@basqueMTB]

My favourite story from my almost 2 decades of biking! Brilliant group of guys and we had such a laugh about it. We made him a shoe by sacrificing an elbow pad and all the duct tape we carry as guides. Brilliant group of guys from Sweden, we had such a good laugh at the end of that ride.

[@santiagoenmoto7762]

first!! xD

[@chiefsittingstill6061]

Your European (especially Spanish) rides are my favourite - wish there were more! But I'm grateful for those that you do put out 😀

[@bkxc]

Thanks, I love them too!

[@GaryDonosti]

Any bike that makes it down that trail is worth having! Great riding .

[@bkxc]

Hahah yep!

[@user-omkarsutar]

❤️😍

[@bradsaxton6354]

Awesome footage Brian. Would be hard to focus because the scenery is so spectacular. 10 minutes or so in, it looked like a settlers, old cabin. So far up in the hills. Interesting tale regarding your derailleur. I had a issue just last Fall while at Spence Mountain in Klamath Falls. I was going through a rock garden on Nighthawk, had a large rock kick sideways and it pushed my derailleur into my rear spoke where it literally locked my wheel. Luckily I just loosened up the pulley and it popped loose. Nothing even bent. Guess these things are really made to take a beating. Again, I live through your trips. You do a great job with filming and narration. Cheers and happy holidays.

[@bkxc]

Oh man!! that's crazy about the perfect wheel locking rock strike. Anything can happen out there!!

[@benitezjosem30]

It’s on my list go to Spain for MTb ride.

[@RileyGeletic-id6jj]

Your video in WA

[@davidjoseph7142]

Absolutely loving your videos Brian! I feel like you’re a little faster on your HD6 vs Ripmo but more struggles in the switchbacks, all in all I can see why you like this better.

[@davidjoseph7142]

I also really like the orange, it looks great! After having this for a bit, how different is it though pedally tighter trails and climbing? Once again loving your content, keep up the good work!

[@bkxc]

Very much feel faster on the HD6!! These switchbacks are unreal brutal, camera does not do it justice

[@albertsmith6717]

Brian, looks like you're back in top form. That's some of the bone jarring, shake the bars out of your hands, brutal single track that you crave and the type of trails I thought you were gonna build at home.

[@bkxc]

Love them!

[@Magoo71]

I guess your new ride is Orange...no? What's the fee for 2 guides? Looks like you had a great time! Cheers!

[@bkxc]

It's a beautiful orange machine! This was part of a bigger trip, the other folks on the trip didn't want to go on this one.

[@zacharydasilva7451]

How are you liking the HD6 Brian ? I signed up for trans madeira next year and need a new bike.

[@bkxc]

It's rocking and rolling GREAT!

[@ryanmichael9452]

What are your top 5 must do trails in US? Would be a cool video

[@bkxc]

Pretty great idea!

[@johnwilkins3995]

Beautiful videos sir. How do you combat ticks?

[@bkxc]

I haven't come across very many in my travels, got one in Kenya when I was riding! Just make sure you check your body after you ride.

[@johnwilkins3995]

@@bkxc thank you! Love following your vids. Stay safe

[@805pedalboyzcentralcoast]

Happy happy thanksgiving to you idol and your family too 🦃🤘🤙👌keep it up Idol

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@pauleddy5146]

Didn't comment on the Patreon feed, but watching it again to help pad your numbers HA! I noticed how off camber a lot of that trail was. Pedal strikes and derailleur scuffs would be the. rule of the day. Great video, sir. Oh and the next tee shirt idea: shindingers . . . poor rock!

[@bkxc]

Have your next shindig at SHINDINGERS!! Haha thanks Paul

[@thel1zardking]

The lighting in this one! 👌

[@bkxc]

Yeah!! The top section was so cool

[@keatonmccarthy3285]

I just bought a Ripley, thanks to you! Loving it so far!

[@bkxc]

Very cool! Enjoy it

[@dcrump]

Nice shirt 💪💯

[@bkxc]

Thanks!!

[@FranzFeldmann-s2r]

good video. I have an ibis HD5 (super bike) and am thinking about whether I should buy an HD6. But I'm not sure whether it goes uphill as well as the HD5. I mainly need my bike for touring, long days on the saddle ,which sometimes go over 6500 ft (big mountains). My HD5 weighs 30.2 lb. Maybe you can help me a little with the decision. Thx

[@bkxc]

I hope you can get a test ride at some point, it's a pretty damn sweet bike!

[@krustysadventures9182]

Holy crap stop with the ads in your videos for lmnt we watch enough ads on KZbin.
