BACK TO SPAIN and it's better than ever 🇪🇸 Mountain Biking the High Pyrenees Day 1

It's my third time riding with BasqueMTB in the north of Spain and somehow it's better than I remember. The quality and quantity of trails is just ridiculous.
More info on this trip: bit.ly/2VBAfbH
I crashed a few times on the first day of this trip the last time I did it. Luckily I survived this first day with a bit more skill! I'm also joined by Andrew from McTrail Rider on this trip, and he'll have his own perspective of the rides we'll do on his channel.
Thank you BasqueMTB for covering the cost of the trip. Thank you to my folks on Patreon for covering the cost of travel and food.

I loved you in Dallas Buyer's Club!

[@bkxc]

Alright alright alright

[@OntheTrailMTB]

That stach! Makes you look something between a seventies cop and a thirties playboy. Cool, just cool.

[@tomwallhead6950]

I was thinking wildwest bartender or Barbour

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

It's great to see you so enthused with what you're doing, Brian. The trails look amazing. Ride safe 🤘

[@1nintool]

I have a smile from hear to hear man, thanks Brian !!!

[@johnbartlett3288]

Awesome video. Hearing your nervous chuckling and enjoying it some much was brilliant. Nothing better than hearing ppl having so much fun. Keep these vids coming.

[@antongnatiuk6304]

Brilliant. Been looking forward to watching this trip. Day 1 did not disappoint, looked absolutely amazing!!

[@pedalafort2056]

Wellcome back to Spain Brian! This is one of the trails that I ride and it is exciting to see you riding here. Cheers dude! 🤙

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Good to see Andrew on the ride with you. The trails are as advertised, awesome! BKXM ......Xtreme Mustache :-)

[@Lakedistrictrider]

That footage was awesome. Serious skills on show. A great watch, thanks Brian.

[@SnivelakFilms]

Nice that you are back in Spain man! Enjoy it!

[@pablox5408]

Where's Brian? Who's this guy with a moustache?

[@willbros1499]

Was it just me, or were some of you also expecting the riding to start, and for there to be some cheesy 70's "bow chicka bow-wow" porn music to be in the edit? I hope I tune in for the next edition, and it's sans stache.

[@Happy_Biker]

But, the mustache was ready, so that counts for something.

[@AsmarAyung]

The mustache guy is Brian's stuntman

[@garyriggs6998]

Love the stache! Glad you made it back for some Basque MTB adventures!!!

[@chastis]

Its a pleasure see you here again!!

[@grantfeddema5332]

Fantastic as always Brian!

[@markking8274]

Awesome! That looked like the most fun day of riding possible.

[@drock1136]

Love the stoke when you guys get to the bottom of each trail. 👊Looks like a fun group to ride with.

[@trailcruiser555]

Another cracking vid mate. Super terrain and some amazing riding. And it’s so cute that you and McTrail-man colour coordinated.. 😋

[@CQR_Deuce]

Hard work pays off! Well done! Can genuinely see the excitement just boiling over in the first few min, think that's one thing that separates your channel from most. Stache game is👌

[@eriktchuck2502]

Hello of France... Among all your videos, those from the Basque Country were the best. The Basque trails are exceptional ! Back to holy ground ! 😇

[@samvilla6290]

I went hiking in the French Pyrenees this summer and it was so beautiful. I think about those mountains every day and when I go back I’m totally going to have to go riding

[@bkxc]

Yes! Make it happen!

[@craigsteele8178]

[@AleksandarGospic]

Amazing trails and scenery, can't wait for the rest! I don't know why but I enjoy your multi day European trips the most, for me those two Ben Jones tours in the Alps is the best material on the channel to date :)

[@bkxc]

Glad you dig these!

[@malcolmmathias5881]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@jaimerichard3681]

@Malcolm Mathias Instablaster :)

[@malcolmmathias5881]

@Jaime Richard Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@kez2252]

Pumped for you to have made it back! Ripping on day one, too 🤘

[@bkxc]

Thanks Kez!

[@lagwall]

This trail is awesome! Love everything about this video! 🙂

[@bkxc]

Thanks Tony!

[@Alesandro00]

Hi Brian, your first trip to Spain was special for many people including me, when I start to watch videos like this (especially on your channel). From that time I was on many trips around Europe, also thanks to you encouraging me to do so :). By the way, I am currently living in Czech, you were nearby last year (Jedovnice), loved those videos seeing you riding the same trails where I was many times.

[@fromxctoletssee]

holy shit man what the heck!!! thats just illegally insanely awesome!!! stop having so much fun already LOL. Im grinning from ear to ear the entire time watching. thanks for the adventure!!

[@bkxc]

It's always a good time!

[@b_bullish6700]

Truly amazing scenery and trails and the fact that some of these guys are faster than you on these trails is terrifying because you are fast AF. and these are not easy trails. I love the way the trees create a tunnel like effect the way they grow over the trail.

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

I have to get to Spain! This is some good riding! This video came just in time too as I dream of riding while the snow comes down here in Denver. Ride on Brian!

[@skittlywinksbattman]

Travel the Narrow Trail I feel your pain man. It’s coming down in Foco too

[@bkxc]

I hope you make it happen!

[@PHXBIKING]

Yes absolutely beautiful place, great ride

[@traildog8992]

Very nice video. Thx BK.

[@DAMN55117]

Who is going to thumbs down this video? What more can you do to satisfy people? Unbelievable. Riding those heritage type trails and entering a village must give you goosebumps.

[@bkxc]

Haha thanks man!

[@chavoxo50]

Ahh yes so good. Hope you’re well over there in Valley Joe. Crazy day yesterday

[@bkxc]

It missed me!

[@FOOTLOOSEMARK]

thats so awesome, i found mctrail rider and that led me to finding you when you guys rode together. now i look forward for each video from both of you guys! one day ill be with you guys lol

[@bkxc]

Thanks great! Some day

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Safe travels, looks epic!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Rob!

[@gibbykirwan7788]

Aww it's a Bro-mance with McTrail Rider...... Great to see you both. Trails look amazing

[@garymoser7584]

Amazing trails and views!

[@wildtrackmatarranya5968]

[@abstraddic0442]

Sick A__ Trail Dude !!! Great job.

[@Renegade1797]

That tash looks epic. Well done to you good sir

[@kelsey809]

That’s was insane! I hope your eyeballs didn’t start to fall out! 😳😊 Great video!!

[@Kent.]

This is going to be EPIC!! Haven't looked the video yet but i already know 😉

[@bkxc]

Yeah baby!

[@jacobmyblessing]

Solid video buddy!

[@Noob2Gnarly]

Aaah this is Amazing!!! Your St Moritz video is what inspired me to head to Switzerland and get on a bike for the first time. It’s been a slippery, bumpy, gnarly slope from there... next stop might be Spain!

[@bkxc]

Fantastic, love hearing I inspired you to take an MTB trip!

[@rosleyoutdoors]

such an amazing view I wonder why I thought that I saw it already

[@awesometuscaloosa7203]

Hermosa España! Un humilde saludo a ustedes🤟😄

[@albertsln]

Amazing,Amazing,Amazing 💪💪💪

[@lagwall]

OMG THE SUPER TROOPER MUSTACHE!!!! LOL PERFECT FOR SPAIN!

[@braullotolentino27]

Brian Nice Mustachio! Great ride as always thanks for sharing. Like and Shared as usual

[@bkxc]

Thanks bro!

[@peterj.1177]

Love the stache!

[@davidcisneros2810]

the pyriness is just magic

[@povteer]

i was gonna say you had me at 'perfecto', but i think it was the mooostache! perfecto! 👌

[@khalilandres5878]

Best biker vlogger in the world!

[@ClearViewSolutionsMS]

That stache is awesome a/f. Do it Brian!

[@chaos_is_artistic4855]

that's your quote for the history books in a million years lol - I'm ready my mustache is ready!

[@danytheunicorn95]

I feel the same way, 6 years ago I fantasized about becoming a mountain biker and an English teacher, and here I am, my dreams came true, and yes, I´m sending this video to my students as homework since they struggle to pronounce words like Spain amongst others and you do say them often enough, you also speak some spanish which will help them like this video. Keep up the good work if you come to Vigo (Spain) I can show you the most beautiful and fun trails in the world (subjective opinion). Happy trails! :)))))

[@bkxc]

Fantastic!!

[@zxtenn]

Wow and great riding by all. Hard to believe 3 people involved building that/those trails, very scenic and obviously for the top notch riders... I see some of those guys at the table near the end of the video have some age on their belts

[@rando4468]

Good thing you're missing the fires in Vallejo. Hope all your friends are ok!

[@kevcon001]

Awesome trail! I need a Spain redemption trip!

[@TheBigDog23453]

I’m going to Spain in September and I’m so hyped then going to Italy

[@pulganabike1648]

Nice vídeo.. Que lugar maravilhoso...

[@OGMTB]

Some of those sections have Flume trail like exposures. Beautiful chunky goodness!

[@bkxc]

Totally!!

[@santiagoenmoto7762]

OMG Brian, I will miss the extended versions of this series so much! but with the new baby Uff! every penny count! hahahaha! Cheers dude, Saludos from that Chilean guy xDD

[@bkxc]

Hope the baby is happy and healthy!

[@lukemilton8590]

Phenomenal video as always Brian. Love how you’ve accomplished your goal of turning mountain biking and traveling into a job. Nothing better than that. Extremely happy for. What dates did you take this trip? I’ve ridden all across Europe but never in the Pyrenees and I’m planning on it. Keep up the great work!

[@bkxc]

This one started October 2! It's always a great trip!

[@razmtb5028]

Mustache Brian riding a Mountain Bike haha!! Biking w/ Bobo joined the group!!

[@jeffcuevas5918]

Great, fun, exciting, beautiful.... mustache...the video was good too. Lol

[@abhishekghule6837]

Those moustaches looks cool budy . ✌️✌️✌️

[@Banc2008]

Great stache!

[@MTBChuckQC]

Knowing that you come from a website developping background makes it even more interesting for me, as it is my job! :P

[@bkxc]

Nice!

[@rowdylinesmtb435]

Man such an amazing ride. Trails here in dallas tx don't look like that, but I want to ride those rowdy lines.

[@bkxc]

You should make it happen!

[@sebastienhakimejdaa9363]

So cool you made your dream a reality. One day I'll give up my corporate life and start riding mtb to. Live the dream bro!

[@BlueComet]

So chunky, love it! If you can't be one, pretend to be one; love the moustache Brian :D :D

[@bkxc]

Haha yes!

[@bonham4994sts9]

[@MTBPlaygrounds]

That Freddie Mercury looks is kinda new for me though.
