Is it just faster to run this race? | BC Bike Race 2019 - Day 2

[@coltsfan79]

That tuba/polka band out in the middle of nowhere was awesome.

[@bkxc]

Haha yep, so cool

[@HenrichHostak]

Like the politeness of Brian when passing slower riders. Not like Paul the Punter yelling from a mile to move 🤣🙈

[@bkxc]

Hahaha

[@scratchy996]

Some say Brian is secretly a Canadian, and that those gels are just maple syrup. All we know is that he sure loves them chicken nuggets.

[@river8760]

You have such a great personality! I love how you laugh so much on the trail. I’m not even a mountain biker (husband loves to cycle) and yet here I am, watching this ha ha, because you are so engaging.

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much Suze!

[@river8760]

You’re welcome! 😃

[@rubenlegout6578]

Wow from all the other MTB youtube channels ( Seth’s, Phil’s, The Singletrack Sampler etc...), you’re definitely the one that always mâle me want to go on a ride on my mtb whenever i watch your vids

[@rubenlegout6578]

Make*

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!!!

[@brianvisser6883]

You do a great job communicating XC MTB race experience. What its like both physically and mentally up to, during, and post race. So much is going in your head, ....obstacles to deal with, climbs to endure, personal attitudes that wain, things that go wrong, racers that are inspiring, racers that are best ignored, and the drive to our best in competition. I'm getting past my xc race days...in my mid 60's now, and now mostly train on the MTB and have now mostly switched to road racing. Someday, when you are ready to change things up, I would love to hear/see your commentary on a road race....because you soak it up, and tell a great story. Ride on!

[@bkxc]

Glad I could do it justice!!

[@sydandmacky]

Hahahaha we were wondering what happened to you on further burger. Hemorrhaging time with those glove swaps, buddy! Haha

[@bkxc]

Gotta keep my beautiful skin in tact!

Done my first trail yesterday. Absolutely unbelievable. Love your vids so much Inspiration thanks

Stephen Harper Media Congrats! That is awesome, cheers!

[@bkxc]

Love hearing that!

[@northburngardens]

[@TrailPOV]

Mmmm slick rock at 8:00 with XC tires with some moisture on the top and people everywhere. Nice work in plowing through!

[@BrennenL]

The colours, the quality, the experience, the atmosphere.. I am thoroughly enjoying this content. Super cool trails.

[@bkxc]

Thanks my man!

[@freerangemtb]

14:46 - Easily the longest wood feature I have ever seen. Great race, Brian! I'm finding myself looking more and more forward to watching your progress. Ever since your last podcast, I've been anxious to learn about this supposed "drama" that happens on this race. I haven't watched anyone else's videos because I don't want spoilers. So I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next! Stay upright and keep the rubber side down. -Brian

[@bkxc]

Love that you're hanging off every minute!!

[@d4ve587]

Hilarious I like the random cheer leaders and trumpet band 🎺🤣👌.

[@richardsmith4625]

Another awesome film Brian. Hats off for rolling all the features everyone else was walking on sight

[@hughdrummond6843]

Loving this race series Brian , amazing scenery, trails and really capturing the whole vibe . Awesome job BKXC

[@bkxc]

Thanks Hugh!

[@seanwalsh3052]

Your nice and just stoked attitude is a good change from Paul's vids lol, looking forward to the next episode already!

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

"ooooo baby, it's wet, but it's not that sloppy. It's kinda perfect." Long ride, whatever it takes to keep your mind active.

[@Infamous69691]

I know what it feels like to have to stop on the side of a race for something and watch people pass. Thanks for taking that time to allow us to experience this with you!! Awesome videos, great riding, keep up the good strong riding!!

[@bkxc]

My pleasure!

[@ferstream]

I always enjoy your riding videos, but the documental-style you are applying to this series makes it even more interesting. We are living the experience with you. Good stuff bro!

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much, love bringing you guys inside the race.

[@MrAnimal1971]

This is so exciting to watch. Its awesome to see your enthusiasm and stamina!!!! Keep chugging along. Two days ago, I was out on the trail by my house with friends and my legs were torched and had to go back to the trail head. Next time I will finish the trail. Your an inspiration Brian!!!

[@bkxc]

One step at a time, dude !

[@windmillcancersurvivor2568]

Nothing quite like a race within a race. You, Paul and the S&M Show give us maturing racers inspiration with your love of the sport. 24 miles is a good pull for any rider let alone 7 days of it on technical trails that don't let you relax much. Well done sir!! BTW since you brought up the Vietnam era draft dodgers to Victoria Island, they apparently didn't have friendly medical connections like our own draft dodging "Corporal Bone Spurs"!!

[@triggcherry6686]

Enjoyed the dialog on this video a lot. Well done and thanks for showing us recreational riders that mtb is for everyone.

[@DaveElby]

Those wet slabs from 07:45 though 😳! Some skilful riding, pedestrian dodging and a fine tree save their Brian! Great riding, keep on pushing. Really enjoying the videos!

[@bkxc]

Haha it was pretty crazy, but amazing when you manage to get through it unscathed!

[@thedecliningcyclist3321]

You are just the politest person ever on a bike. Makes a nice change after watching some of the Megavalanche vids last week!

[@denismacfarlane255]

...or riding with roadies.

[@haldevasher13]

This stuff is just phenomenal. You’re riding great, it’s like the most beautiful country, and it just gets the blood pumping! Seriously, I really have been looking forward to each episode.. Don’t think that’s happened to me before. Ride on!

[@bkxc]

Fantastic, love hearing that Hal!

[@sheaohara6969]

Skills are looking on point, brother. Pretty badass to be plowing through features blind when everyone else is checking them out first. Loving the content and can't wait to see the rest.

[@bkxc]

Thanks a ton!

[@RonClouds]

Wow you caught up with the punter and now just 10 spots below Syd and Macky. Good job man.

[@sirnicolai]

Thanks heaps for showing all the behind the scenes stuff. Really helps to show what it would be like to enter a multi day event like this. All your tips are awesome and appreciated👍

[@bkxc]

Glad I can help!

[@craigmckinnon242]

Brian you have the best camera in the business your videos are always so clear.

[@MBOA]

Good stuff, dude! I love the camaraderie between everyone. Such a cool thing to see!

[@Tomzzzzzz]

I loved these lush green singletrack trails! I gotta make it up to Vancouver Island some day. The amazing thing is you’re killing it in this race despite being the only (?) guy wearing a big ol’ backpack full of camera gear! Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the next video!

[@bkxc]

Haha yep, loaded up!!

[@stokedriders5184]

Yew! So good seeing it all like that, really getting what feels like a great snapshot of the experience . Damn that air was fresh, can actually taste the crispness through the screen 🤘🌲🌲

[@bkxc]

Oh man, the random hits of incredibly fresh air were amazing!

[@philgunn6803]

Another great episode Brian. Well done for closing Paul down. The trails look really great too

[@LiTTleGaBi21]

Loving this BC Bike Race series. That last trail was some beautiful rainforest.

[@fromxctoletssee]

ah man what an exciting day. a few time i flinched thought u were gonna hit the dirt. damn those wet roots and rocks. makes a man nervous! thanks for the adventure!!

[@bkxc]

Yeah, they were so dangerous!

[@andyginther8562]

Nice catch up man! More than a bike race for sure. You’re a beast Brian.

Thanks Andy!

Well Dane Brian you nailed it, that looked harsh after day1 well-done mate and that singletrack..... Mega

[@davidgoyette9805]

7 days of long rides and sleeping in tents?!? That's so insane, great riding Brian and hats off to everyone who even entered such a test of will.

[@bkxc]

Haha yep, it’s a marathon!

[@brucemacneil]

Very nice video, You hit the perfect tone in the commentary. ON a personal note - these vids make me want to do the BCBR but the reality is no way I would finish a day inside of 15 hours.

[@bkxc]

Never say never dude. Get to work and get faster!

[@davidmatheson7391]

Awesome footage...Monday's Child looks so primordial!

[@bkxc]

Haha that’s a good way to put it!

Great videos as always Brian. That race looks like serious stuff.

[@mountaintime4276]

Two things. That was the longest bridge! And bear buns? You said it twice. Sorry...three things, maybe it’s your general attitude but it seems as though Paul took this much more serious. Great vid on some great looking trails!
