How many miles of trail do we have at Everstoke?

[@ChristianCapenos]

Been watching your videos for years now, one of the people that got me interested in mountain biking. Been riding for six years now, thanks man

[@bkxc]

Love to hear that so much!!

[@ampfrog001]

Thanks for including the wildlife footage! Also, my cat really enjoyed the bobcat kitten meows segment, she came racing over to the tv. Had to play it a couple times for her hehe.

[@bkxc]

Yes!! I was thinking there would be some house cats that would get a kick out of that!

[@sydneydickson9091]

hahahaha same here

[@timothyfong4101]

Ooo yea 🎉 all the snow melted away since I been up there ......shrrreeeddd time woohoo🔥🤘🚴💯

[@bkxc]

All the snow came back! Haha, gonna be a while before it melts out again

[@Tesh-Dono]

Stuff like this warms my heart man. Men out there pioneering with their lives just to offer good experiences for themselves and others. Definitely gonna up my skills over the years and try and get out to those trails you're making

[@bkxc]

Love that, thanks so much dude!

[@Friskee62]

Those rocks are amazing looking, very cool indeed...lovin' the tour of EVERSTOKE. Thanx, Brian...

[@bkxc]

Yeah, we've got a couple really neat little spots like that!

[@jeffkaufman1588]

I’ll be up there soon! Thank you for your dedication Brian!

[@bkxc]

Love to hear it!!

[@scottfoster8905]

I didn't realize how many unnamed trails there are. I've proposed this one before, and riding a trail called "Yeti's Revenge" would fit not only with other tails' namesakes, but also would be perfect for the yet to be named climbing trail. Planning on making it to Everstoke sometime mid June.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

I like that name. I think I have just the trail we can use that on. In the near future I will make it so. Thanks

[@bkxc]

Fantastic!

[@mr.rabentheastrokid2051]

BKXC you are my MTB inspiration, love from India🇮🇳❤

[@bkxc]

Love to hear it!!!

[@richardambrose7441]

Great to get an overview of Everstoke! As far as your "what's the point" comment about ebikes with a lighter battery, one point is you have a bike that handles like a regular mountain bike so it is more fun downhill and for all-around riding. I'm usually using the lowest power level on my ebike anyway, so the battery easily lasts for 4 hours and 3-4,000' of climbing, even with using a higher power level for the climbs. That's a plenty long ride.

[@bkxc]

That is pretty good!

[@brandonhays5344]

eMTB protip: you can stick an allen key in a chainring bolt and as you backpedal the crank will bump into it and push the chainring/chain backwards. Hope to get out to Everstoke someday, hi from CO!

[@bkxc]

That's a great idea!! Never thought of it

[@youtube7076]

wow its my first time/video on this channel , I Love these E-BIKE channels, its remarkable how much distance yall covered in a single ride/day.

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much! I covered a lot of ground!

[@Magoo71]

Brian...some cool trails are getting going...... The developments are going very well!! With all that creaking going on, sounds like your eBike is in need of some lovin maintenance...Looking forward to meeting you and riding your ever expanding trails!! You guys are doing an incredible job!!!!

[@bkxc]

I hope you make it out!!

[@Alejandro-sq8it]

Hi Brian, how are you doing? I've been following you for 3 years. Your videos are excellent, and I learned a lot from them. Greetings from Mendoza Argentina.

[@tracerxrider]

Those cats are awesome. Only 10 hours from Portland. Might be a destination this year.

[@bkxc]

Hope you make it down!!

[@twright1211]

Holy cow! Aaron did a great job with the trails in that place. That land is gorgeous and you guys are building a destination in itself. Super cool. Crossing my fingers to make it out there this year. Great stuff!!

[@bkxc]

I hope to see you out there!! Hopefully we'll have the bathrooms built, haha

[@twright1211]

@@bkxc if not, I'd love to give a hand!

[@thomasboard7350]

this is awesome! one of the coolest things going on right now in the mtb world. these trails look fun

[@bkxc]

Glad you're digging it!!

[@symbt-ce3gi]

Awesome video you are inspired me for mountain bike riding and I started off last year for ridding mountain bike it is really cute once you are browsing on mountains

[@bkxc]

That is great!!

[@dhengen]

Great work. I didn't realize you guys had accomplished this much. If only you were closer to me.... I'd come and ride! Maybe a big trip is in my future

[@bkxc]

For sure!! One hour drive from the Reno airport

[@SwampDonkey0504]

It’s good to still see you on an Ibis even after the sponsorship ended. It shows they’re still worth riding regardless of a paid sponsorship.

[@bkxc]

The ebike is great for trail work and mapping!!

[@dee2ski]

Heck yeah!! Nice work boys!

[@bkxc]

It's coming together so nice!

[@GarySixSixty]

the ramp/return feature looks like a smash 👍🏼….session time….

[@bkxc]

Big time!! Endless laps and lots of good progression

[@kzetting]

Great progress. Keep going!!

[@simonhill4791]

"Snowmer" - great to see you back at Everstoke

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, snowmer loamer!

[@controller2152]

Great Video. I can’t wait to come and ride/camp. My Revel is ready.

[@bkxc]

Love to hear it!!

[@EastBayRich]

You down with E.S.P? Yeah, you know me! I forgot all about Mama Mia and Squatch. The middle climb trail might need a new name and sign or "Begin Trail" might stick ; ) Thank you for another great vid!

[@bkxc]

Yes!! Hope to see you out this Spring, Rich! Bring the buddies!

[@janedexter1510]

Your trails are looking fabulous

[@bkxc]

So far so good!!

[@snat6299]

Man that ebike is creaky and loud, loved the ripmo, I bought one due to your videos and still ride her weekly. Oso is a no go 😂, thanks for the tour of the trails.

[@bkxc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lars_atx]

What a great looking place and trails are really coming along. Name your unnamed main climb trail "Stairway to Stoke"

[@bkxc]

Haha, I love that!

[@chrismade123]

i watch your videos occasionally but 1st time i hear about the other builder guy. and i read description.

[@edarnold99017]

Keep the videos coming B

[@bkxc]

Most definitely!!

[@LanceLester]

11:18 dude! You watch Zlaner too!? My two worlds colliding!

[@bkxc]

Drippin' in Heat!!

[@tomassanesson902]

Awseome trail

[@bkxc]

Thanks!!

[@RookieStyles]

Awesome video and trail system. Can't believe you walked with e bike lol

[@bkxc]

Haha, gotta push hard!

[@beecherphilpot4034]

Time for a bike repair shed, ride up and wash/repair. Have a few items for sale as well.

[@bkxc]

Most definitely! All in good time

[@dhrracer]

Signs: Put them about 1-2 feet off the ground on straight sections not 5 ft. up a tree. Is Jon/Howling Dogs bike and Ski still in Greagle or did Jon move on?

[@bkxc]

I don't think we've got a bike shop at the moment. Yeah, I agree with signs NOT up a tree

[@kirknesbitt101]

Awesome video. What kind of bike computer are you running in this video ?

[@bkxc]

That's the Kiox system that's built into the Oso Ebike

[@Joe-mans]

Great video Brian - are you planning any international trips this summer

[@bkxc]

Not yet!

[@davidmilhouscarter8198]

59:41 more fun, more fun.

[@tomhesse01]

Just put an allen key in the chainring bolt hole... push back the cranckset and lube the chain...No more dirty hands

[@bkxc]

Ahhh!! Great idea

[@xda8009]

Very nice trail, wish I could ride it someday. Quick question, what happens if you encounter a bear or mountain lion? Or worse, Bigfoot 😅

[@mtbingadventures1551]

The bears and mountain lions just run away. You do have to do MMA with bigfoot if you see one. No other choice.

[@bkxc]

Hahah, Bigfoot will be a tough one!

[@mtbmagal]

Nice!

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@SuryGod]

What camera you use in your pov mtb videos?? Thank you

[@bkxc]

bkxc.bike/camera-gear

[@billmartin3883]

What is your plan for signage? I make vinyl signs, if you give me an idea on what you want I can send you a example.

[@bkxc]

That's pretty cool! We're thinking wood CNC at the moment, but there's a lot of info I'd like to place on them. Shoot me an email [e-mail] if you don't mind!

[@xennialguy9074]

E-Bikes are allowed right ? And how far are from some lakes or rivers for family camping ?

[@bkxc]

Yep, eBikes are welcome! Lots of surrounding lakes and rivers. Look up Everstoke on Google Maps and you'll get a sense of the area.

[@glenn309]

If you want to lube the ebike chain, can you not just turn it upside down and pedal forward?

[@bkxc]

It's too damn heavy, hahaha. And there's so many cables and junk in the cockpit to get jostled.

[@glenn309]

@@bkxc another reason to stick with an analogue bike, basically haha

[@dillonricketts6040]

Do I spy a little bit of a Zlaner stream watching going on?

[@bkxc]

Yup yup!!

[@fidelsalazar9791]

Great work Brian. I have been a subscriber long before you and Aaron MTBing Adventures even bought Everstoke. It would surely be nice if you can encourage your subscribers to subscribe to Aarons channel because he truly works hard to get the site to where it is rite now and to see that he only has a few subscribers it bothers me sometimes. Thanks for all the great content and keep up the good work.

[@bkxc]

Glad you're enjoying the vids!! I try to give Aaron as many shoutouts as possible!

[@FrankLempka]

Great video and I know the algorithm is changing but not many people have time for a 60 minute video. 15 is perfect

[@wonderwatch2239]

Thinking the same, and if nobody watches the full hour long videos, they must change it back to normal (10-2.0 min) watch time 🤷‍♂️🤞

[@ctuttrailrides3249]

Agreed. Not a fan of everyone switching to these super long videos, much prefer 10-15 minutes

[@ivanbejar5]

The channel maker is not here to serve yall

[@chasingepic]

@@ivanbejar5actually, they kind of are…

[@abuckcat]

An hour video is fine with me I suffer from a long attention span😊

[@Hike_Bike_Explore]

You need signage for the trails.

[@bkxc]

Most definitely! Project I'm working on in the background

[@Hike_Bike_Explore]

@@bkxc awesome. I commented too soon as you talked about it later in the video. 😄 Can't wait to see it. My wife and I are seriously thinking of visiting there someday.

[@vitorluis_freerider]

Are you not afraid of the wild life, in the day no encounters? Can a e-bike out run a bear or a mountain lion?

[@ThreeJam]

A bear or mountain lion can run 2-3x faster than an e-bike on trails. I personally always carry bear spray and make lots of noise when riding in apex areas.

[@bkxc]

Not worried about it in the slightest

[@alanwrobleski]

How did the beetle get up there???

[@bkxc]

It was abandoned in the national forest!

[@JimF-777]

You should name one of the hubs, hubbub

[@bkxc]

Hahaha! That's good!

[@greghardy7499]

I thought we had all the dangerous creatures down here in Oz, but riding around a forest with Bears and Mountain Lions haha no thanks, give me reptiles any day.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha!

[@ecarromeana]

ebike is noisy right?

[@bkxc]

For video purposes, definitely. For regular riding I don't think you'd notice.

[@Friskee62]

Funner & Funner...I like Funner.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, yup!!

[@kenedyo.9128]

Where is everstoke? Would love to ride it

[@bkxc]

You can find it on Google maps!

[@WalkWithLeon]

what kind of ebike you riding?

[@bkxc]

Ibis Oso

[@buni4me]

Is that the bike that’s so creaky?!

[@bkxc]

Yup, lots of sounds!

[@TMAN882]

Wow climbathon! Ebike required..

[@bkxc]

Big loops!

[@ridingflats]

Some of these look like they would be miserable without an e-bike 😅

[@mtbingadventures1551]

They can be pretty insane and painful. I've created a circuit that should keep that down to some really easy climbing and maximize the downhill fun. Many of the switch backs will become much easier as well. I just haven't had time to open them up wider. The recommended circuits will be put on Trailforks as we keep improving Everstoke. I do give tours in the meantime.

[@bkxc]

Just a couple tough turns! It's all very fun riding.

[@GarySixSixty]

try a smalla battree bike on a downhill….yuu might like it betta than that ibus 🚌 😄

[@bkxc]

Maybe!

[@k2spd]

Why is your ebike making so much unnecessary noise?

[@bkxc]

Always has, always will!

[@BenFenner]

59:17 - *by accident

[@bkxc]

Ha!

[@smtennant]

I would love to come up and help work on the trails and offer my drone services for free

[@bkxc]

Awesome, hit up the website and I hope we can make it work: www.everstoke.bike/

[@cmcz1207]

Is e-bike just the way to go now? It def is a quiver killer in my mind.

[@djean53]

They are tanks, I have one and a normal bike and I reach of the normal bike 90% of the time. DH is way funner on the normal bike.

[@ThreeJam]

My experience is: it is different. I like the e-bike to ride more often, but it does not feel the same as a lighter bike.

[@kjracz15]

I think Brian's just using it to map out the trail for trailforks. Any other day, he'd be mechanical.

[@iclimbrocks100]

If you enjoy being fat and descending slowly sure! Normal bikes are faster downhill, which is why you mountain bike

[@bkxc]

I hate the ebike, haha!

[@singletracktrucker]

Your e-bike sounds o-so awful! Still love the videos!

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha!

[@rando4468]

Just name what you said. " The easiest way to the top"?

[@bkxc]

Haha yup!!

No e bike please 😥

[@nateums]

Whattttt?!

[@wonderwatch2239]

Always one 🤯🤪

[@MrGogogordo]

Noob.

[@kjracz15]

it's just for mapping out trails

[@barker83]

Are you the property owner or somethin'?

[@AlexeiPavlov]

considering how much you dislike bike park riding, your partner build a bunch of mediocre bike park like trails that are very common for Southern California

[@iclimbrocks100]

How do e-bikers deal with that awful sound and shitty downhill performance?? And yanno their lack of fitness

[@bkxc]

Hahaha
