Im ABSOLUTELY loving this back and forth series between you two, sick trails, awesome company and Alex's mint hops :D Thanks Brian!

[@bkxc]

Fantastic, love to hear it!

[@danwilliams9723]

Brian! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve tuned in, but man, it's like I never left! You're out there just living the dream-laughing, riding bikes, exploring cool places like some kind of adventure superhero. Good for you, my friend! Keep crushing it out there!

[@bkxc]

Most definitely! Hope you enjoyed this one

[@m__r1100]

Yay, Comrie is my nearest trail centre. It's an amazing wee place with super riding. I'm so privileged to have all the trails you've ridden on this trip within 2 hours of home, plus more mountain days on a bike than you can do in a lifetime...

[@bkxc]

Most definitely! So nice to have so many rides "close" by.

[@paulgreen2401]

Cheers Brian. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here again. Your positivity is infectious, and may yet inspire me to get off the couch and back on my bike.

[@bkxc]

Fantastic, I love hearing that!

[@danielsimmonds5162]

Love your enthusiasm Brian and Alex 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bkxc]

Thanks a ton!

[@martysoulard7349]

You and Alex are my favorite channels. I really enjoy the rides you do together. Keep on riding and loving it.

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!!

[@JustSayNotoGravel]

Guys, you need to have a wee chat with your guides. To go to Glenlivet and do Bazza’s Berms twice but not do the Red route; any of the short enduro trails; either of the new jump lines; the summit of Cairn Diamh; the old blue route…They really threw you under the bus. And then to miss Laggan cos it was raining? Dudes!

[@bkxc]

I can barely film in the rain. It's too dark and the footage is unusable, it only got worse.

[@JustSayNotoGravel]

@bkxc Makes sense! Heck, come the short days it can get really problematic just seeing what you are riding, let alone filming.

[@FitGearSpot]

Hey Brian, the Scotland egg you were referring to is one of our families old school recipes. We are Italian descendants and we make those and put them in our red pasta sauce. It’s so yummy, it’s hard boiled eggs surrounded with a meatball beef mixture. Scotland riding looks amazing. Love the video!!

[@bkxc]

That's great!!

[@cemtex17]

Glenlivet and Comrie. Both awesome trail networks

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Loving your energy Brian. Those short trails at Glenlivet are so much fun. And yeah, mudguards are an absolute necessity for riding and filming in Scotland!

[@bkxc]

Worked out pretty good!! I had a good time

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@bkxc yeah buddy 🙌

[@cobykluth1878]

Crushing some sublime terrain, Brian. It was rolling by so fast, and I'm going to have a rewatch.

[@bkxc]

Fun stuff!

[@mittenmod]

Happy Friday indeed! New BKXC video.

[@bkxc]

Yeehaw!

[@JohnFerrieMusic]

Comrie is my local trail centre, absolutely love the trails there!

[@bkxc]

Nice!

[@MTBScotland]

Comrie is a fantastic place. Especially for kids.

[@chumpster69]

Can confirm.

[@andrewnorris5415]

That was great. The two amigos in my home country.

[@bkxc]

Fun little run!

[@drumandbassob0007]

not followed you for a while but its been cool to see you riding Scotland which is a lot closer to me, makes me want to head up to Scotland, you are a very decent rider but i bet single track sampler could keep up with the pro riders he really does have some skills on a bike his technique is really good, i have been enjoying both your Scotland visits

[@daveandmerlin]

What a cool looking place . Really enjoying your enthusiasm and the Scottish series. Shame you didn't go to Wolftrax as a brilliant trail centre and some really good off piste stuff.

[@bkxc]

Definitely gotta do it next time!!

[@garyalexander3281]

Shame you didn't get the chance to ride Laggan Wolftrax some great trails there but ace none the less you rode both Glenlivet, I've been to Comrie great fun. If you're still here would recommend Dunkeld trail network and Glencoe ski centre MTB trails, really enjoyed thanks for sharing! 😁🤙

[@bkxc]

Plenty to do next time around!

[@DaveLivesey]

I'm guessing you're long passed - but there are good scotch eggs at the smiddy farm shop outside Stirling not too far from comrie!! Great to see all our local trails starring!

[@bkxc]

Oh man, I need a time machine!

[@stevenconnor4221]

Perfect trail conditions, try it during the winter lol, As said previously the golfie and my personal fave as it is natural like comrie croft is Drumlanrig down in dumfries, its not as ridden as much as it should be.

[@bkxc]

Haha, I imagine the winter must be rough!

[@DrFaroon]

16:10 I did the Scottish XC Champs at Comrie a couple of years ago. It was brutal.

[@bkxc]

Oh wow! I believe it

[@Flyingcow2021]

The reality of biking we all struggle with; sometimes, ya gotta pedal.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, indeed

[@_thenandnow]

Sick trails💯🔥🔥

[@Martehhh]

south as in Dumfries and Galloway South? looking forward to it!

[@LewisBdrums]

shame you couldn't visit wolf trax, was my first bike park and have many fond memories there

[@bkxc]

Very cool!

[@eszterdomina]

Brilliant, so nice to see that you sincerely enjoy this 😂🎉🎉❤ see u next time you are here i shall fect u a Scotch egg maybe a haggis too😂

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, of course

[@joeshawcroft7121]

Love it. commenting for the algorithm.

[@bkxc]

Haha, appreciate it!

[@Jcscoob]

Well you managed to do Glenlivet no favours! Didn't miss much at lagan, it's pish, so is comrie...lol Good videos tho, glad your enjoying it here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@bkxc]

I had a fun time!

[@markianross]

Scotch Egg is an egg surrounded by breaded sausage meat (which is pork)

[@bkxc]

Yeah, I've had many!

[@JimF-777]

DId you do any climbing on rough stuff? How'd the Deviate feel? I like that they seem to offer it with "standard" shifters as opposed to the grip-shift.

[@bkxc]

Bike was pretty nice the whole way through!

[@kevinmacpherson3809]

Can't believe you missed laggan wolftrax it's epic and the mast and golspie wildcat

[@bkxc]

Next time!

[@JeffVose]

@BkXC when is the next amazon sale on trail one components? That was great last year. .

[@bkxc]

Just had one recently on the site for MTB day

[@JeffVose]

@bkxc oh crap.... I need some gear for my fiancé's mtb

[@Mtbdrumrunner]

Thank you so much Brian for these awesome videos, you continue to inspire! I played soccer in Scotland when I was 16, and now it's mountain biking at 45 around Georgia, but the connection visually here is just perfectly stimulating seeing you both in action like at Bear Creek/Pinhotti, this is the great stuff of MTB from you and Alex, thanks man!

[@bkxc]

Oh wow, that's really cool!

[@user-tn1vc1xz5d]

Come to Wales, good MTB trails ❤😂😊

[@bkxc]

Some day!

[@kevinmacpherson3809]

Hope you guys do torridon

[@ToddNZMTB]

Korean Orion Choco pie would be to your taste too, or Lotte pie [also Korean] and next time you're in NZ Mallowpuffs!

[@bkxc]

Nice!!! love the suggestion

[@BD-BOY22]

Please tell you boys are doing Fort William!? 🙏

Not this time. Wish we did, love that Big Chief!

Mark Weir said it best (about mtn bikers) we exercise like crazy but we all eat like fat guys.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha true

[@zedeeyen30]

Wait, you didn't go to Laggan because it was raining?? I don't think you're doing Scotland correctly.

[@bkxc]

I can't film in the rain

[@FrancisForever55]

Your speculation on the British class system was intriguing. Not sure the word “daddy” is correct 🤣. Yes England is a mystery to even those who live there. Still, America is no utopian in a lot of ways.

[@f40detalladoautomotriz65]

Love how an $8k bike is the average guys bike in your example lol my wife says my budget is 3k hahaha

[@bkxc]

I know, it's become ridiculous!

[@f40detalladoautomotriz65]

​@@bkxckeep up the videos watching you and Alex mtb during the week makes me super pumped to mtb on the weeekend! Went from only being able to do 8 miles before being winded to 26 miles now and you guys inspired me.

[@ToddNZMTB]

I think 6 eggs for breakfast is too many, someone once told me 1 egg a day is enough, not sure of the science behind that though. Probably cholesterol related at a guess, or maybe they only had 1 chicken 😆

[@bkxc]

Your mileage may vary! Haha

[@wayneemslie8904]

Nice video. Great seeing soemone from the States do Scottish trails. I'm Scottish but in the States currently and you're completely right about the tiny roads - part of the scenic experience - bit like West Virginia Appalachian roads without sheep coming onto them. The interstates here are next level for getting about quickly though.

[@bkxc]

Yeah, those tiny roads are crazy!!

[@geraldh.6686]

Sorry you have to slum with the regular folk and use those pesky mechanicals

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, downgraded!

There is no T in Glenfiddich! It's not "Glenfidditch" the ch at the end is pronounced as you see it, or as you should at the end of loch ( and I don't mean by saying lock like an effete Englishman!) A scotch egg has pork in it not beef ;) All of that stuff about class is pretty much outdated nonsense no-one gives any credence to. Both of my grandfathers grew up not speaking English and not owning shoes, one speaking Gaelic in the mountains of Strathnaver and one Italian in the mountains of Lazio. My parents were teachers, I have my own law firm.

[@wayneemslie8904]

Yeah that was quite funny re: "Glenfidditch" - is that somewhere in Serbia or something 🤣. Amazing how many non-Scottish accents can't make a decent "ch" sound though.

[@bkxc]

Ahhhh, makes sense about Glenfiddich because I never heard anyone pronounce it in real life!
