Holding on for dear life at Horns Hill 🇺🇸 50 STATE SHRED: OHIO

📺 Check out longer videos and early releases over on / bkxc
I had a few folks reach out and suggest I hit up Horns Hill near Columbus, Ohio. But when I looked at the Trailforks map it was one random blue square trail.
After getting a few more emails someone sent me a real map of the place and it showed four downhill runs. That was enough to roll the dice and see what they had hiding out there.
These trails were legit, tough and rocky downhill park style stuff. They've had a huge groundswell of rider and community support and they're turning this place into a real hub for Ohio mountain biking. So cool!

Had such a good time showing you around Brian! Glad you liked it! Tons of people have put in lots of hours to make this THE place to ride in Ohio!

In the first 10 seconds of the video I thought "I hope Blake is there to tow" 😂

was a blast riding with you Brian! Let me know whenever you’re back

[@maxwalker9990]

Had an awesome time riding with you! You will have to make another round back, we got a bunch of new stuff!

[@neadventures3293]

How would he even get the van there?

[@benlenton3932]

Any riding spots in Finland you'd recommend? Used to live near Levi in the winters never got to ride bikes only snowmobiles

[@cmcz1207]

NE Adventures just ship it.

[@CarrotCannon]

"full commit brian!", great advice!

[@whydoihavesomanysubscriber9729]

Hey, Brian! I thougt it would be a really cool idea if once this 50 state shred series is over, if you ranked all the states from worst to best! (At least from the trails you rid)

[@danmangan7408]

You have got to be one of the most consistent content creators on KZbin. You are a beast. I can't believe how you've pushed through the 50 State Shred with all the COVID craziness! Well done my friend, well done. Keep rolling!

[@videowerd]

good rollin' BK, my fellow reluctant jumper!

[@jamisonr]

That's wild that there are trails up there. I was born in Newark and some of my earliest pictures of me were taken up at Horns hill in the 1970s. I live about an hour away from those trails now, but I have to get over there and check them out.

[@huckinghardtails4989]

These trails look awesome, can’t wait to get up there

[@Admiral_Deejay]

i dont have a bike but i love seeing other people have riding thier bikes and like this videos i am so amaze of the content of this video love it watching from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🙏

[@tannerthimling4293]

i thought around a minute and a half in that these trails looked familiar - then scrolled down and noticed Send'er Buds comment and yep - that's why. good choice.

[@Blake_Cherubini]

We had to show him the goods! 🤙🏻

[@jctrails]

What a rad trail center! Little man rips! Definitely need to visit Ohio.

[@Blake_Cherubini]

Would love to show you around!

[@jctrails]

Send 'er Buds that would be great!

[@Theallterraindude]

MY HOME TOWN TRAILS! I used to be a XC rider only, but ever since I started riding downhill at horns hill I’ve been addicted to learning to ride downhill and how to jumps. I literally live a couple minutes away from horns Hill and I am so happy To see how it has changed and trail additions that have been made and it still Has more trails being added! It has made me into a better rider and I can actually say that I can shred a trail lol. Horns Hill has motivated me to actually buy a new All Mountain bike after this Christmas, So far I’ve ridden horns Hill on a 100 mm trail bike., so it gets a little rough LOL. I was actually surprised at how well you handle the trail, its very sketchy but it is very fun! Thanks for getting the word out about horns Hill, it is incredible what they have done and I have never had so much fun on a trail before!

[@nathanflauto577]

Definitely worth the drive north to check out Hampton Hills, East Rim, and Bedford Reserve

[@nathanflauto577]

Also definitely want that ohio graphic

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

Yes East rim is worth riding. Edson run is the downhill jump line at East rim.

[@rustyshackleford9498]

Don't even bother with anything in Ohio that isn't northeast or southeast. Go browns.

[@off-gridmountainadventures9430]

I'm about to do West Branch for my KZbin channel I've hiked those Trails there black diamond and they are very hard

[@raheemgahelable]

Horns Hill! That's my baby!! 🤘🤘, Great video , Brian!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Who knew Ohio had any flowing downhill trails. Good guides as well. Thanks for the video man.

[@ClarkBark14]

Few sections of Sells Park, Vultures Knob and Mohican Trail get going pretty damn fast. Chestnut ridge also recently finished a rather long downhill jump line for central Ohio.

[@blakefisher8521]

I am so glad you went to horns hill this place is the best! For Ohio that is. Max your so lucky you got to ride with Brian!

[@benscraftymusings]

Really enjoying this channel man! I'm from the UK, and have not ventured out of it mountain biking, but experiencing Wales, the Peak/Lake District, Yorkshire, Cornwall... this has been great fun for me... so seeing you bike around the world, and now in the 50 states, is great to watch! What an excellent sport - beautiful surroundings plus the thrill of the ride! Nice work.

[@chuckwalters4759]

STILL My favorite MTB channel Brian!

[@charleysweet]

I like you adding the local 3rd person shots.

[@sholjas13]

Look like excellent rides. A few scary views beside the jumps, tho you handled them good. Cool vids 👄

[@greylynnn]

Loving your content at 2am in Auckland New Zealand

[@handsformaps3973]

Lots of jumps. Looks so fun

[@justinsaiyan5587]

Always look forward to your videos man. Something very relaxing for me to watch. Keep shredding

[@Friskee62]

I'm with ya, Brian...have been for quite some time.

[@timross5324]

So many good trails in Ohio . Awesome you hit horns . You’ve gotta come back and hit Mohican state park and many others in Ohio .

[@oiseo4498]

what else is good?

[@timross5324]

East Rim in Akron , Great seal in Chillicothe, Chestnut Ridge and alum creek in central Ohio . Oak openings in Toledo . Lots of improvements and new trails in Ohio

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Looks great. Will have to stop there next time on the way to Snowshoe!

[@WALSRU]

There are a ton of decent trails in Ohio but Horns is really becoming something special... And it's only 20 minutes from my house. Great video 👌

[@Blake_Cherubini]

Horns Hill is still growing! Trails still being built! Ohio mountain bikers are what's making it such a special place!

[@cameronreagan7422]

Awesome! Glad you got to make it out and enjoy Horns Hill!

[@briankelly1817]

Great goal of 50 states. Love it!

[@77rockcity]

Just got back from Snowshoe, WV. Man, there are some ripping fun dh runs and, some black diamonds that are mind boggling. Dreamweaver being my favorite and skyline being 3 miles of dh goodness

[@nicu-gs3qs]

Try Ray's indoor bike park in cleveland, it's amazing!!!

[@markking8274]

That looked like a lot of fun!

[@mrsmtw5210]

Nice KLM hat! MI bike shop represented!

[@trailmonster]

This is not too far away from my hometown growing up, when I get back home to Ohio I am definitely checking it out.

[@mahennaiker5072]

Yip always on waiting for ur new update 👌

[@bikingwithemily1109]

watched in Sunpeaks bike park, your' 50 state shred is coming close Winnipeg, I try and ride in Minnesota as often as I can, Duluth, Cuyuna, and welch village where super fun and I keep finding more. Can't wait to see what you shred in the Minnesota and north/South Dakota area

[@jreh3811]

Iowa got hit by derecho, but some trails are back up and running. Sugar Bottom, Sunderbruch, Iowa Power. Brown County Indiana is a blast. Cuyuna lakes Minnesota is probably best in Midwest. Lacrosse, wi has a great set of trails.

[@whydoihavesomanysubscriber9729]

Im calling it next video is minnesota!

[@jeffsbikechannel1128]

Awesome video, great trails here in Ohio!

[@Gdownification]

When you hit KY (if you haven’t already) you should check out Devou Park in Covington!

[@abstraddic0442]

Great ride B ! good job keep it pushing man ... KZbin turned off notifications somehow.

[@greggcollins4788]

As ever I love watching your videos, still recovering from a broken elbow after a crash, so keeps me in the mtb groove ha

[@mrrims]

Looked like fun!

[@reedwindmiller7490]

Looks like you plan on coming right through my area in eastern Iowa (Davenport). If you have time for 2 of our multiple trail systems I'd be happy to guide.

[@TheSimong69]

amazing . what fun you had... we did here in our homes.. great vlog how about 51st state liverpool uk

[@adamarmstrong200]

I was hoping you would ride horns hill! This place looks gnarly I’m only a few hours from there! Hoping you go to brown county Indiana next!!

[@ononewheel7]

Do you think at the end of the 50 state shred you will rank the states?? Could be a cool video looks like such a blast doing a trip like this!

[@kenbest76]

Alaska is best during the actual late spring / summer months. It's already getting cold here and it starts to rain a bunch. Unless you wait till late January and ride fat bikes out to a glacier :) It's something different, but it would be a shame to miss out on the summer trails. They're pretty incredible.

[@danasmith8557]

Great rides wow , im.inspired

[@jonathanalonzosalas7686]

Cheers from Peru man! keep it up!

[@holdcroft71]

Wow as a local to Newark Ohio. I didn’t know Horns Hill was even there

[@jojowhite9296]

Before the park was taken over by the sexual deviants, we used drive up their and get stoned. It was a picnic. park

[@aaronbailey4823]

Hopefully oregon won't be on fire when you get here!

[@fchavez6198]

Aaron Bailey true that, I’m looking forward to seeing him come to Oregon

[@charliehornbeck4595]

I'm guessing you've already gone through Wisconsin, but if you time it right you should check out Little Switzerland Bike Park outside of Milwaukee. That place is awesome! Another place would be Quarry Ridge in Madison. Also, Horn's Hill looks awesome.

[@nilotpal3165]

Really love u dude all ur video where u go is really dame good 😊💕✌

[@50Acres]

Wow I live an hour away and have never heard of this place.

[@Happy_Biker]

What app are you using at 1:24? (Doesn't look like Trailforks, or at least on Android...)

[@stevencole7331]

Kind of like a pump track getting every bit out of the minimal elevation

[@sillyDevin2015]

BK - you should have visited Baileys trail system in athens. More your speed. Horns hill I think is for guys who love jumps - could be wrong. Baileys trail system has over 40 miles currently and adding a lot more over last 5 years.

[@johndef5075]

Check out Baileys in Chauncey Ohio. Or Chestnut Ridge in Canal Winchester.

[@jaysonsalvacion1981]

Wow.. I wish i really have that kind of mtb😁😁

[@blakes6417]

I’m excited for when he comes to Wisconsin

[@charlie9ak]

MTB Blake, where would you recommend he ride in WI? I’ve been trying to think of the best spot!

[@blakes6417]

charlie9ak Camrock park in Cambridge or Levi’s Mound just south of Black River Falls there’s way more spots but those are in my top three

[@PuffinPete]

Another great ride/vid. 🙌☮️🐧

[@davidbermudez5387]

Super awesome man!

[@luketocknell8942]

I live in Ohio and haven’t been there yet. I will be there soon horns hill!

[@limahorni3241]

Glad you made it to this place in that Jericho freeze behind the tree with his thing stiff as a board looking at guys

[@shawnlint4942]

grow up

[@rideagainst1084]

you should have stopped in Athens as well, strouds run has some of my favorite trails.

[@gouravdogra3774]

Big fan sir

[@NorthCountryMTB]

Is there something you replace coffee with or do you just get up and go? Whats your morning fuel???

[@loisbeigli]

Thank you for all the inspiration!

[@str1kez367]

Am i the only one, that feels like im learning to be a better rider, and better at line choosing, after watching BKXC?

[@nightraiyu7647]

how do you find these trails, is it a website or app? i having a hard time finding trails like these around me.

[@leonardmoore7916]

Whats your plan for riding Alaska and Hawaii? Gonna be able to squeeze in a couple plane flights this year?

[@trulyinfamous]

All we have are hills around the North and west of Ohio. I guess it's nice for mountain biking, but I've never done it.

[@michaelcawley7400]

Did you check out Chestnut Ridge while your in Columbus

[@AndreRicoyDias]

Man, I need to learn how to make such smooth hyperlapses through my windshield. Nice ride, by the way...

[@jordanvoytko8258]

I really hope you didnt miss a rip at Mohican. It's right up your alley!

[@neadventures3293]

Hey Brian, how would you compare it to Diamond Hill? Granted you didn’t ride everything at Diamond Hill

[@jackhessing8737]

You should ride Farmdale Reservoir when you come to Illinois it’s a blast!

[@onesidedadventures9998]

"Oh no, this is over way too fast!" -She

[@rustyshackleford9498]

So many times brian quoted she in this video. "It's so big."

[@Stoic511]

Great video! I'm relatively new to this level of mtb riding. Do you have any tips for beginners, what type of trails to try? Also noticed that you don't wear much protective gear (knee or elbow pads)?

[@mtbikestuff4264]

Definitely start off on some green flow trails.

[@brucemacneil]

Would be nice if you would maintain a list of the hard trails - then - after each ride - assign a place to that trail. For example - Florida is gnarlier than Idaho etc.

[@pavelmachala302]

nice place

[@SeMoArtifactAdventures]

Hey man just letting you know they are almost done building a trail center in Ironton, Missouri. its on Shepard mountain. Its legit.

[@cyclingfreak4634]

@BKXC I just wanted to ask how do u manage ur job and cycling as well. I also wanted to do such cycling. Can u please guide me. Plz

[@nathancantwell602]

This is Brian's job.

[@cyclingfreak4634]

Ohk THANKS!!!!

[@rosskline]

Did you get to have any buckeyes while you were there? They're awesome!

[@user-ic4rk6hy5m]

There’s 0 dislikes and there’s a reason for it great video

[@GOTCHAPARK]

Hey Brian , Do you ever fell under biked or over biked on your Ripmo ?

[@razmtb5028]

Awesome

[@kitten-inside]

I also don't drink coffee. Tea is where it's at.

[@chadmccormack6248]

Are you going to do California in three segments? SoCal/Central Cal/ NorCal??

[@andrewpm2]

living the dream

[@Boone1981]

Perhaps when things get back to normal you can do a second lap of the 50 States. This time Have a poll for which trail in each state. For the record you would've liked West Branch, East Rim, Mohican state park, Ceasars Creek, Tuscazoar or Vultures Knob better, more tech and miles.

[@lukepstwo]

Finally someone says Vulture! Has a certain character that can't be beat. Maybe not the best for the video though -- last time I was there I cleared everything easy with a WalMart bike.

[@chikatikah3838]

Fuck. Ohio be bringin’ the Ruckus!

[@roccovaldivia8624]

[@rhettlindholm7117]

Please check out Potters Pasture in NEBRASKA!

[@zeto1086]

Is there anything near hocking hills? I was just there for hiking and kayaking/canoeing but couldn't find much in the way of bike trails?

[@mtnbkmaniac]

theres a bunch of trail that way

[@brianschlotsky]

Stroud's Run is a blast to ride. Lake Hope and Bailey's have trails nearby as well.

[@zeto1086]

K thanks guys I'll look harder next time I go down there, i live 5 hours away so it's a weekend thing for me

[@CoderShare]

Shame Ray's has been closed from Covid. Wanted to ride there a month ago when I was in Cleveland.

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

It is open again now.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

I've never ridden anything in Ohio except Ray's, which I don't really consider a trail.
