The Sierra Butte Trail Stewardship is doing AMAZING work for us mountain bikers!

[@mikebike288]

6/16/23 Rode Mt Hough trail. No snow. Hero dirt!

[@sensationalbeast9358]

BKXC never stops to amaze us with his sick trails. loved it 👍

[@gregbess3302]

hey Brian ... im watching from UK and i love all the more hardcore riding you so often showcase but i wanted to say how much i also like the footage like this where you are riding easier stuff but showing the location ... so often i watch these for a bit of ecapism and you showcasing the trails, scenery etc is so enjoyable ... keep on keeping on... Greg

[@vladmex]

I always love your videos, please keep showing us more wonderful places

[@abstraddic0442]

Absolutely beautiful!!

It's great to see trails in the Everstoke vicinity!

[@bkxc]

Most definitely! I hope you make it up to visit some day!

[@seanfisher236]

That’s awesome I live in Westwood right next to Greenville in nor cal 😮 I’ve been mountain biking here for years Just amazing

[@AbundanceRun]

Building trails changes the world! Working on it!

[@bkxc]

Most definitely!

[@Jcool721]

Thanks, I don't know what to say. The trail is amazing! Sometimes it even feels bad to watch these videos, when you see that there are so many more wonderful places to ride than in your own local routes. I would be happy if I could ride a route like that once in my life. One wish would be to ride a mountain bike in some redwood trail in America.

[@bkxc]

I hope you make it happen some day!

[@KestrelYI]

Wow. Ripping from that snow melt.

Awesome video and nice trail

[@scootamayne610]

Love your videos bro ! Remember when I told you a while back that I had got a giant iguana? Been putting it to use. Did my first 15 miler last weekend!

[@danieloakland927]

i'm glad you said it early on... I may not have the best skills but that looked 'blue' to me. On a green trail if you go off-line, no worries. Totally freaking awesome by the way. I spend as much time in the Sierra Foothills as I can, but Oakhurst to Auburn. The farther north you go the more local folks "get it" - encouraging trails. Obviously I need to edge a bit farther north to this Quincy area.

[@mitrovarr]

Yeah, whoever decided that was a green trail was out of their mind. That's a blue trail at least. Here, it might even be considered black!

[@BoonMountainBike]

That's a cool trail.

[@hmongentertainment2022]

I’d be game for that green 🟢 trail 😂 looks fun! 🚵

[@fgewfee]

Beautiful place!!

[@chrisallen5293]

Great video. Good stuff

[@dammbleth2]

Beautiful scenery. Pacific NWesterners are a lucky bunch.

[@bkxc]

Not quite PNW, gotta go a bit further north! But it's still beautiful!

[@user-rn4xl5rp2b]

I love your videos good job 😃

[@MTB_Rider_96]

Yes, correct, that is Spanish Creek (Tributary of the North Fork Of the Feather River) and is a Class IV/V, V+ river (on the whitewater difficulty scale) a very difficult level at high flow conditions. If ya have the skills, it's a really exciting run in a kayak, as in whitewater kayak, not a flat-water lake kayak. :)-

[@bkxc]

Oh wow, looks like it would be pretty exciting at these water levels!

[@mikeshuck2760]

Thought I recognized those falls. Back many many years ago. Oakland Camp to Keddie on “Inner Tubes.” Had to walk around those falls. Glad to see “Green Sticker” help pay for the trail work. Glad to see new “Multi Use” opened.

[@dennis3667]

I have to say, I like your nocal vids the most of all!

[@kez2252]

Seems like a good trail to just get out and enjoy nature

[@bkxc]

Big time!

[@italianpizza9794]

Brian, would love if you made a video on the briones pilot project. Would be great to add to advocacy for the Bay Area Mtb scene especially, and also would just be cool to see what it’s actually like

[@federaldelii]

Waoww 🤩😍 what a beautiful nature

[@StreetComp]

I just started mt biking at 51yo and am riding greens while learn how to control bike and there is no way I’d ride that bit near start of video when nearby to river! In fact I get off and walk when there’s a steep cliff even without a raging river 😎

[@bonacker9762]

Big thing is your getting out and riding. Who cares if you need to walk it today because you can ride it tomorrow when your skills improve.

[@angelabudovsky-robinson1917]

Just ordered some LMNT. Excited to give it a try. On another note, the film quality on your video is very good. Which GoPro are you using and do you use a specific lens with it? Trying to improve my recording on trails so would love any advice. Thanks, and hopefully someday I’ll see on the trails 😊

[@tyarnold4088]

Toughest green trail I have ever seen in my life. Good vid.

[@bkxc]

Haha, yep!

[@rodbarton2354]

Awesome video and narration Brian. Sweet trail. I look forward to riding there this summer.

[@bkxc]

Thanks Rod!

[@bushpaddler]

Looks really cool, might ride it in 4 weeks as I then will be in the area for vacation :-) Looking forwward to...thanks for showing @BKXC

It's a nice little spot!

[@danielhartwig3150]

Great video and beautiful landscapes. Love your videos for many years. Your new rear hub is pretty noticeable. I would change it for a better video quality.

[@YellowTrashMan]

I like that you leave some of the clime in the vid.

[@johnwilkins3995]

I’d be worried about a bear popping out. Really nice ride!

[@HominidInterneticus]

You'd be as good as dead if you fall into those rapids. Then again, this is what you do. Amazing trail nonetheless

"that combination of a hard turn with slippery gravel always gets me"... and not wearing knee or elbow pads!

Good Ride! How do you like those new Button shifters? Bummer they are currently a rip off @ $150 My guess is you like them better than the original paddle set up

How much speed do you think you get on the downhill sections

[@eurika7655]

Do you like your new bike better than last years ? Sure looks smooth.

[@scottkeir1060]

Hi Brian, greetings from New Zealand. After having just watched this video and before that Remy Metaliers Bentonville video I'm wondering if America has a National rule guide to trail ratings or does it vary from state to state? The double black trail he rode seemed like blue tech/single black at best and then most beginners would be out of their depth on this "green" trail skill and fitness wise?

[@bkxc]

It’s all different in every trail system!

[@photogough4879]

Any more Oso content? It’s been a while and curious buyers want to know what it’s like to live with!

Love what your doing promoting trails and hard work that goes into it. Have you read "That Wild Country" by Mark Kenyon? You need to read this book. All about Americas public lands and it all came to pass.

[@bkxc]

Oh wow, I have never heard of it before. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@mattrohr1266]

Be careful leaving your thumbs on top of the bars, it always made me nervous watching people bench press like that. What a beautiful ride, it is so fun up there 4 hours from me.

[@ed35084]

Do you notice the sound of your heartbeat on the Gopro or have I always just imagined it? lol

I have actually been hearing it more often in the videos!

[@nicolasbazan5038]

Love the bike design kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

[@davidcaraza8276]

Could you share the exact location of the place, I am interested in visiting it mtb

I have an amazing history teacher who is retiring this year. He is one of the most inspiring teachers that I've met and will hold a special place in my memory for the rest of my life. He enjoys mountain biking during the weekends and over breaks. I am trying to buy a small gift for his retirement and for how much he helped me. Could someone give me some ideas? Can be anything.

Not allowed in this park

[@Jlymansackhead]

Nope, not for me. I love trail riding, but I’m not the skydiving/bungee jumping type, and I would argue that this trail is more dangerous than both.

[@gclanning]

$60/month for hydration supplements? Too rich for my blood. ($1.00/packet x 2 packets per day x 30 days). Maybe I'll just add some salt to my tap water.

I only use it when I'm riding! If you're riding every day then you might need more than salt!

Bears--wolfs--bobcats-----have gun on you..../good videos

Bees are out here killing people every day while bears get all the credit!

[@dudeonbike800]

Carry a gun? Puh-lease. This is the type of thing that just leads to forest shootings of humans by other humans. CA Black Bear not an issue. Wolves? Not really. And Bobcats? Are you kidding? The biggest threat to mountain bikers in the CA mountains are themselves. Then other humans. Then any manner of small animals and THEN maybe mountain lion. If you carry a gun mountain biking in California, then you're just looking for a reason for trouble. Which means you ARE the trouble. Let's ratchet up the paranoia so everyone's hair-trigger on the edge and just looking for reason to shoot someone. Sad. I'd say if you're this paranoid, then stay home in your reinforced concrete bunker, surrounded by your guns & ammo. You'll be MUCH SAFER there. Let the rest of us intent on ENJOYING the outdoors actually enjoy the outdoors.

[@dudeonbike800]

@@gundog7199 taking a gun mountain biking couldn't be missing the point any more than you are! This is a decision with deadly consequences. Bringing a gun means you have intent to use it. Having it on your person means you're primed and ready. You're also concerned about someone NOT getting ahold of the lethal force you brought along, so will be more likely to utilize the lethal force to keep it under your control. Maybe you're new to the outdoors. Or hang out with others who are perpetually scared in the outdoors. But for those of us who've grown up feeling comfortable in the backwoods, there isn't a need for guns. Foresters, mountaineers, climbers, hikers, photographers all can venture out without this need to be armed to the teeth. Sad that our world has come to this.
