Absolutely beautiful scenery, again !! 👍 I am not a mountain biker, I just go hiking. I realize that you can cover SO much more ground on a bike, than walking. I am blown away, that not only your bike can handle such terrain with all the rocks and such; but that the human body can withstand those demands !!👍 I pulled 3 muscles just watching the video!! 🤣👍 Love it, thank you for the adventures, and incredible scenery.

[@mahdikairous1669]

For anyone who doesn't know what love is like, just admire this kinds of rides. This is my love❤. Thanks for the beauty man

[@hibiru6868]

It's videos like this that have put Colorado on the top of my list for states to visit once I rebuild my fitness. Spending eight hours a day on those mountain trails seems like a great way to spend a week.

[@bkxc]

Love to hear that!

[@mtbingadventures1551]

So cool how we could hear the train from way up there. Definitely 5 star trails

[@GHinWI]

*train Took me halfway through the vid to understand what this comment meant! Haha

just wow... the view is amazing

[@Friskee62]

I am still here after all these years. Great trails and kudos on your shredding skills, Brain. It is a pleasure following your progression in mountain biking...

[@bkxc]

Always great to have you around Thomas!! Glad you still get a kick out of the videos!

[@Jcool721]

Greetings from Finland! We are the happiest country in the world, which is btw just big BS. I would be really happy to ride in Colorado for sure. Oh my gosh!

[@equation1321]

Hello my brotha

[@stevenbaker7025]

Yeah I guarantee the Nordic countries including Finland are way happier than US citizens overall. But yeah the Western half of CO is an outdoor paradise for sure! That being said UT, MT, ID, AZ, NM, OR, WA, and CA shouldn't be overlooked either.

[@andrewrivera4029]

I live full time on the road in the US and mtn bike everywhere, if you fly into Denver then start your tour go to a few bike parks as you do not have to peddle up (don’t get injured!) and get acclimated before hitting all the classic rides!

[@youstankhoe4309]

You sound so happy tho! 😅

[@willienillie6337]

Wow..DH from top to bottom. That trail will be added to my need to ride trails.

[@andrewscasualmtb]

Awesome riding with great scenery. 👍

[@travelandadventure22]

WOW!! Outstanding ride! I love the landscape and I think that was really funny. Thanks

[@BSm2919]

That last run looks absolutely fantastic! Since I'm only a few hours away it's definitely on my list!

[@Cesar-cm4if]

Agreed, hope you enjoy it! I just wish people started wearing nta helmets like xnito or bern, or even full face helmets while riding. I see a lot of people underprotected out there

[@drifterdogs]

Always impressed by your ability to make tech work look easy.. the true mark of a real pro!

[@audiophizile13]

Have never seen a bike on Haflin until this video. On foot it's not bad. Pretty rough looking on a bike especially the beginning climb on foot/the 2nd half of your ride. Brutal

[@fishfoolishness4222]

I think I was in the area about the same as you. Spectacular colors in the San Juans this year.

[@blaynewoods3667]

The home trails! If you are every back in the Juan's you outta check out Engine Creek and Boulder Gulch. I will gladly show you around as well!

[@obomasinladen]

I appreciate you & your content so much. Haven't ridden in over a year and half due to an injury but I cannot WAIT to get back out. Work remotely so I'm looking to do some living out of my truck and traveling to ride. Thanks for the entertainment in the meantime.

[@mattmitchell5320]

These look like fantastic rides. Love the Rockies. Great content as always Brian!!!

[@stevenewell6502]

Thanks!

Holy moly! Thanks so much Steve! I don't know if I could respond to these super thanks previously with the way KZbin works! I appreciate the support! You paid for a week worth of food in Peru!

Thank you google for showing me this video. Never watched anything like this before. I live here. Thank you for showing me what all these mountain bikers are doing up there, never would have imagined. Its amazingly beautiful. I imagine these arent walking trails?

Beautiful scenery and trails.

The good ol' Durango Tree Slalom!

New to your channel and loving the videos. It's definitely cool to hear commentate as you ride. As a new mtb rider, I'd love to hear you speak about the techniques you're using and focusing on, like where your weight is, speed through rock gardens, braking etc. Thanks again man 👏

Wow, thanks so much Craig! This was filmed in early October. There had already been some snow, but it melted off decently.

Yeah, that would be pretty tough to do but WELL WORTH IT!

You'll be hearing from my lawyer. Because of you I've become an ill recluse. I've no need to leave the house with all these amazing videos you're making. Shame on you providing us with such magnificent footage! 😝

[@mmoltich]

I need to learn to just go over those big pedal-grabbing rocks encroaching on narrow steeps, like you. Good job, great video Brian!

[@kodi.hartMTB]

Absolutely beautiful trail👌👌🤘🏾👍👌

[@richardwernick4930]

LOL, I had to laugh at the comments on the mud. That's a typical weekend for me riding either cyclocross or gravel. Makes things a little more challenging. 🙂

[@CaliradoKid]

"Beyond White Knuckle" and "It's too wet right now." If I didn't know any better I'd think Brian is low key promoting his upcoming unveil of an Only Fans account. 😂

That sucks man. Speedy recovery.

Argh!! Always something. Heal up.

[@gilbertecheverrijr.8274]

From Florida all that mountain stuff is a wonderful thing just wondering why you didn't use your ibis ebike.

[@bkxc]

Not all trails are eBike legal, the Ripmo was the right choice!

[@michael1617]

Going for it! 1:50

[@ibyakn]

You added three more great rides to your Durango adventure. Engineer Mountain Trail is just an absolute ripper and I'm impressed with how you handled Haflin. Some of those switchbacks, especially towards the top, are very chunky and tight. The exposure on Haflin is legit in places. And Salt is one of the best fall rides around with the tight aspen sections. Well done! Next time you should climb up Scotch Creek road and earn your down ;-)

[@bkxc]

They just kept getting better and better! So glad we did all three.

[@audiophizile13]

@@bkxc I've hiked Haflin and have only seen other hikers and runners on it never bikes. Looks pretty brutal lol

I looked at your Trail One list. These trails appear to be longer than those except the shuttling perhaps made the overall ride shorter.

You blowing me away. That was a kickass Video I enjoyed every second of it watching. PLS tell me what Body Dash Cam is it you using? Thx in adavance & keep up your fantastic Work.

[@evan13]

Those rides wouldn't be "too short" if you'd stop being a lazy shuttler and climb up to them. Just sayin' : ) Up Bear Creek to CT and down Salt was one of the more epic rides I've done. Those descents are worth more when you've earned them. Same with CT from Molas Pass to Engineer Mtn.

[@fredman1085]

"Welcome to turning, the hard part of mountain biking" Three seconds later after rolling over some large ledges, "That was hard too" Me smiling, "That's what I was thinking" For my ability, a lot of it looked pretty hard.

Lots of tough stuff!
