A trail so nice you’ve GOT to do it twice! Mountain Biking Nevada City

[@orionkroeger9612]

There is a parking area that is part of the Parliament Network Plans. It will be about 2 miles east of the Market. We are working on funding for that. First we are working on the next 4 trails to complete the network. Important to note that you can dispersed park all along 20 on the fire roads. We are so lucky to have willing partners at the Tahoe National Forest who allow us to build this type of trail on public land and the support of Nevada County with grants to help developing this network.

[@marcelof2537]

Yes, tons of parking available as long as you're not set on parking right by the market! Love this area and the new trails are looking great.

[@illbeyou]

Orion- Thanks for all of your hard work on building these trails. They are outstanding!

[@bkxc]

Awesome! Good to hear!

[@orionkroeger9612]

@@bkxc also, the reason Scott’s is different than you remember because we rebuilt the top half of it in 2018.

[@dank3823]

There's something special about those Nevada city trails and area in general. Love it up there.

[@bkxc]

Definitely!!

[@ericmonty]

I lived in Truckee for a bunch of years and loved going down to those trails when we were still buried in snow.

[@squxshyy]

I cant wait for next year. I am going to get a mountain/trail bike and a bike rack for my car. I cant wait to blaze through some trails and enjoy being out in the woods of florida.

[@bkxc]

Nice!!

[@ToddNZMTB]

12:40 funny sounding owl!

[@CP-qx2ff]

BONC reworked and rerouted parts of Scott's a few years ago. Cut out some of the pedally parts and put in some jumps and berms instead of the tight,flat switchbacks that you remember and made it more fun.

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

Its so cool that you donated $5000 to kejabe trails, my dad was born a missionary there and we just visited for the first time, but i was blessed to be born in Arkansas with the amazing trails being built

[@bkxc]

Very cool!

[@MrJr7931]

Thank you for the videos man. I got diagnosed with acute plantar fascitis. Limiting my mobility and retracting frim the sports I love. Thanks to you I feel alive again with biking. So far I'm just playing yiur videos while at my local gym stationary bike. As soon as I'm better I'm hitting the real deal. Gracias and God bless hermano!

[@coreys1]

Thanks for this. Timing is perfect as I'll be there this week.

[@hencnxena3]

I always ride 2 laps on the Talon and loving the 20 plus switch back climbing back up.

[@bkxc]

Yep, it's worth it!!

[@maxF1ns]

This is my favorite mountain bike trail I’ve ever done! It’s called the hoot trail and there is a little food market for after rides. My family owns a house on Scott’s flat lake so every time we go up there, we ride that trail. Would 100% recommend

[@bkxc]

It's a great one!

[@maxF1ns]

Totally! Did it yesterday

[@willienillie6337]

Man, the trail is so smooth and flowy.. Looks fun.

[@_Darewi]

Nevada city is so much fun! Nice video!

[@thomasboard7350]

this trail looks awesome! seems similar to soquel, i gotta get back up to norcal. maybe combining nevada city with downieville would be extra fun.

[@bkxc]

Most definitely! Just a bit shorter

[@davidjoseph7142]

I don’t know what a group of owls is called but a group of owls and some beer, (but not bud) is called a real hoot.

[@ronsanderson99]

I think I need to spend some serious time riding in this region of California!!

[@mushieslushie]

Scotts does peter out but there is a spot where you can cut out to the road early a save a bit on the climb out. I'm surprised to hear about the parking. There is a dirt lot on the other side of the market, and even when I think I'm not going to get a spot there, I always do, even on a weekend. There is also more parking across the street. I agree with you about parking at the lake, especially if it's a one time thing and not every weekend, but its just more convenient to park at the market even though that means you always end with a climb out.

[@scottmarcom1181]

My local trails!

[@alejandroruelas7816]

Can you give me the address please , I planning to do a trip in Nevada this weekend?

[@Ben_Kasper]

6:27 I feel that I love mountain biking just as much as fishing I fish and bike the same amount but I find biking more rewarding and fishing more relaxing unless I’m fishing a tournament or something And I spend my life savings on both but fishing is so much cheaper even tho I make it expensive because I like top of the line gear. Mountain biking on the other hand it gets annoying spending 3+ grand on a bike every few years

[@JClark2600]

That close to Downieville and you didn't ride there surprises me.

[@bkxc]

It's covered in snow.

[@lagwall]

Hoot trail is really good early in the season after the snow melts but there is a race they run up there every year that beats it up pretty bad.

[@onmissionmtb9722]

Looks like a sweet trail! Im in the US right now about to go on a MTB road trip with my two boys. Always love your videos!

[@Monkeyseemonkey79]

That's awesome. Where are you visiting from and where are you headed? Such a fun thing to do with your kids! Way to be a good dad.

[@amcmac7237]

That area of riding is so NICE….

[@ilxc4776]

Great trail! I miss your videos when you were using those quiet Onyx hubs though. Loved hearing only the tires on the ground. Great ride all the same. 👍

[@Prodiod]

Ah you’re back in sac! I noticed you haven’t rode at Lyons reservoir or Pinecrest peak on your channel yet. I just went for the first time last weekend and it was fantastic. I’d highly recommend checking those trails out. I’d recommend a buddy that knows the area however as some trails aren’t on Trailforks. Talon show runs real nice!

[@Rickydbaby]

I snowmobile pinecrest peak in the winter, i may have to go check it out with the MTB this summer your comment has peaked my interest. beautiful area.

[@Prodiod]

@@Rickydbaby Lower Crabtree is running perfect right now with just a few snowy/muddy spots. The super non stop tech Moraine trail up the hill above dodge ridge loop road is running really good too, just some debris every now and then. We were the first people to ride it this year it looked like. It starts right above dodge ridge and ends in a little neighborhood at the bottom. Lyons reservoir is tons of fun, and the climb back up the road isn’t too bad. Those trails are already pretty dry and loose and the berms need some building up a bit but it’s still fun

[@Rickydbaby]

@@Prodiod sweet man! My wife was just telling me she got an email from dodge ridge about mountain biking. Must be a sign. I gotta check it out. Thanks for the info!

[@mushieslushie]

@@Prodiod I with the long winter, I completely failed on trip planning for this summer. Thanks for the tip, I might try and look into camping in the area and have a day at dodge ridge and also check out some other local trails. Its about a 3 hour drive for me.

[@bkxc]

When Pinecrest becomes legal I'll have it on the channel!

[@lars_atx]

Great ride. I just noticed this, are your bars rolled way forward?

[@SpokesmanMTB]

This trail looks amazing. Wow! I miss that kind of flow.

[@macl9395]

Never even sat on a mt bike but still love your videos and positive attitude. Ever thought about doing a run with the camera on the handle bars instead of the helmet?

[@Ostrander17]

How well do these trails handle rain? I’ll be in the area in a few days but it looks like they’ve had a couple inches of rain in the last couple of days and might get a little bit more. Obviously don’t want to damage the trails if it’s too muddy but I just don’t know what the dirt is like in this area so any advice is appreciated! Would you ride the day after an inch of rain?

[@mtbville]

Awesome content Brian 🤩🤘🔥

Hello Brian! How much psi do you have in the fork? Seems to be very stiff. Ehat about the clicks?

[@fuskeiro79]

I was there last weekend. Meet Joe Calirado kid at the Talon Show trail. did 5 laps that day. Still gotta ride the hoot trail.

[@bkxc]

That's awesome!

[@davidjoseph7142]

I think getting bit made the Scott trail more interesting this time

[@bkxc]

Hahaha

[@chefmikesolomon]

I'm sorry if you have mentioned this before and talked about, but I just came back to the channel after a while, and I can hear the sound of your hub throughout the video, which I know you don't like.

[@smiley6327]

HELLO! absolutely love the trails and videos, Peru Is a all time favorite for me for sure so much stuff that you got to explore loved it. But I have a question I have been riding a hard tail for a while now and am starting to get more into mountain biking and was wondering do you recommend I should get the Ibis Ripmo V2S for my first full suspension or another bike or anyone else who has a opinion?

[@Xgecko66]

I don’t know your plans but if you are in the Sandy Ego area the Indian Creek/Noble Canyon loop is absolutely worth the ride

[@bkxc]

I've had it on my list for a while!

[@Xgecko66]

@@bkxc I first rode it in the 90’s on a rigid and if I’m ever in town visiting family it’s the one ride I never miss

[@christopher.burnham]

Always wondered what it'd be like to bike on The Moon of Endor. Just be careful of the scout troopers zipping around on their speeder bikes while you're out there!

[@mushieslushie]

It really is a nice area. The climb out of the Hoot trail is a nice paved road with no cars. It's a really peaceful climb out and I feel like every time I do it the vegetation looks different.

[@endurorideraja6766]

On the parts that you name after locations. Do you put the GPS location of the trail head, on the part somewhere? That way if we customers want to visit the special place, we can just type the GPS location in on google.

[@kaunglay9348]

Moutains bike kaok🎉❤😂

[@scottkeir1060]

That sure looked like a good fun trail. I've got to say though, I think the overly noisy hub does detract from your videos. I think the raw sound of tyres doing their thing on the trail surfaces should be the focus 🙂👍.

[@troycote432]

Love the videos, but you really need an Onyx rear hub or throw some more grease in yours to quiet it down as it's a bit much in the videos.

[@bkxc]

Point taken!

[@tstigge]

I hear I9 hydra hubs. How do you like them compared to Onyx?

[@smithe53]

A fun trick to try on that trail is to do it without pedaling. It's certainly possible if you pay close attention to your weight distribution and flow.

[@scottmarcom1181]

You should do south yuba river trail near Nevada City.

[@bkxc]

Not sure 30 miles round trip appeals to me! Maybe turn around after 10?

[@samwoodfield8901]

Is that your bike making that funny noise

[@Shortyellowbuss01]

Awesome video! Curious, why do you never wear gloves? I see people who never wear gloves. I can’t imagine riding without them at least for going down. For sweat grip and incase you fall.

[@bkxc]

I do sometimes, feels better without em.

[@TheDonkDonk420]

[@tomaszkpl]

@BKXC According to your website, you are currently riding on Maxxis Assegai tires. How do they perform on climbs? Based on many of your videos, I see that, like me, you like difficult technical climbs almost ss much as riding flowy downhill trails. I've seen a lot of reviews of these tires, but they're pretty much only about downhill performance, so I'd really appreciate it if you could say a few words about these tires (especially about climbing performance) in one of your future videos. Thank you in advance.

[@bkxc]

I dig em! Front and rear. I don't care if they slow me down on the climbs, I need all the help I can get on the downhills!

[@Couffee]

Ur hub sounds like a fishing reel lmao

[@mad3foryou]

Nice ❤

[@JClark2600]

Brian, have you seen the new California petition circling the internet for eBike rebates? My first thought is why discount 'lazy' bikes? More people own regular bikes and they don't get cash for buying them. Anyone else have thoughts on the topic?

[@kevinstevenson7389]

Dood. I swear you ended this video by saying you were headed to Oakridge soon. But that was a long day, and it may have been the end of another autoplay I saw, after this one. Either way, if you're in the area, check out Crawfish. It's just one ridge south of Oakridge, and sees virtually no traffic. I climbed to the very top last week, and I was laying fresh tracks. People have been lapping the bottom for a bit. You can shuttle with two cars, but it was 3,500' in 7.5 miles to get to the top. Once you're there, you'll get better views than just about anything in Oakridge... The top half has more tech than most everything I've been on in Oakridge, and the bottom has some amazing, low key, old school feeling flow.
