RUTTED & GUTTED | Mountain Biking Auburn, California

After a lot of rain in NorCal I got back out to Auburn with my buddy Cole for a fantastic ride with tons of climbing and great descents.

Thanks so much to everyone who bought a JUST GO RIDE shirt!! Make sure to head over to The Singletrack Sampler tomorrow to see the start of the next adventure!

[@LifebyBertie]

BKXC Yeah man, I bought one as well, loved the stuff out there on the site!

[@stokedriders5184]

Oh you know it! Hell who knew it was possible to be so excited to see someone customise a van! Super interesting to me how much more connected we are to you guys as our fav KZbin channels , vs old media - something I'm sure you are all about Brian!

[@marinstaykov7689]

BKXC I'm sure it will be exciting time for the next couple of weeks for Alex! :)

[@shingenjp5596]

T.s.s is making a new video?

[@stokedriders5184]

Black Diamond MTB yeah black diamond - STS is documenting the build of his van and will be putting out regular videos on the topic, as will BKXC and Seth I believe 🤘

[@sea_weathered]

Thanks for shooting this Brian. I was there the same day, and rode the same trails. Also added Mammoth Bar. Rocky’s was super gnar! Bummer that we missed you. Hit me up when you want to check out some of the local Nevada City goods

[@bkxc]

Ah man, that would have been cool to run into you!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Such a beautiful place to ride, so green. Looks like the dirt was perfect too!

[@bkxc]

It was a treat!

[@B1KER]

[@StraightLine_MTB]

Killing it on my home trails. Nice work Brian!!

[@TrailPeek]

[@teodelfuego]

In Colorado we are super fortunate to have several active trail crews (COMBA comes to mind) who work hard doing trail maintenance.

[@bkxc]

That's awesome!

[@captain.planits]

Great looking trail

[@bkxc]

Thanks Nathan!

[@raivkka4313]

Cole's got a nice truck! Love those old mini pickups!

[@thetrash6514]

I love Auburn!

[@bkxc]

It’s a blast!

[@thetrash6514]

BKXC you should save yourself the pedal and do Northstar sometime 👍

[@trailjunkie7302]

It's snowing again in MN. Looks pretty damn good there right now. So ready for dry dirt.

[@bkxc]

Oh man!! Brutal spring

[@rubencarrillo9370]

Amazing !!!!!

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@lpiannmarie01]

When the trail is intense the talking is a minimum. Great vid as usual.

[@bkxc]

Haha, holding my breath!

[@MTBFlowRider]

Cole is the man! Got to meet him and ride with him at Demo at your group ride. Class act dude!

[@bkxc]

Hell yeah! Thanks Orbie

[@TommyHuynh]

That place is beautiful with the river in the background

[@bkxc]

It's really amazing every time!

[@bgautschi]

Rocky is brutal. I've only worked up the courage to do it twice on my hardtail.

[@bkxc]

Haha, damn, that's pretty good!

[@cheezdoodle1949]

Happy (late) birthday Cole!

[@bkxc]

😁👍

[@bradleytrew4832]

Great video Brian 👍 loving the fast and furious puns 😂👍👍

[@bkxc]

Haha thanks Bradley

[@braullotolentino27]

Ohhh yeah! Thanks Brian for the upload nice video as always! Liked and Shared!

[@bkxc]

Glad you liked it dude!

[@Richard1976]

I subscribed when seeing a vid from you in Auburn, year later now it still looks awsome.

[@bkxc]

That's awesome! Full circle!

[@ecg15]

My daily fix of adventure sponsored by BKXC.!!!

[@bkxc]

[@th_js]

YAY NEW VID FROM BRIAN!!

[@bkxc]

😁👍

[@3RacingEnduroProgram]

Nice ride ! Also the place look sick !

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Rain erosion makes for some gnarly "features". Dabbing all day and lovin' every second of it! ✌️ So, what was it that Cole hit? lol

[@bkxc]

Haha it was spicy! We weren't able to figure out what he hit!

[@mtlxc5586]

Beautiful! Nice ride 🤘🚵‍♂️🇨🇦

[@bkxc]

Thanks man!!

[@connorbraica6927]

Love to see u guys in my backyard

[@bkxc]

Awesome, glad to be there!

[@TheBikingViking]

Wish I could make it up to NorCal more often. These trails look like a blast! SoCal needs to up their trail game.

[@bkxc]

There's a lot of gold in NorCal

[@donchristie420]

I'm like Tom Brady- can tell what pressure it is, with just a squeeeeeeze!!

[@donchristie420]

Hey Don, my grandmother can bunny hop higher than you!! Tell Brian, that sometimes the best lines aren't the fastest.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha

[@trickelfamily]

don christie sometimes the fastest lines are not the funnest 🤘

[@donchristie420]

That's what big travel is for-fun👊(Fist pump)

[@JonBrowning760]

don christie seriously..

[@5492sparky]

Awesome stuff Brian. That trail looked hard work!

[@bkxc]

It was! Hard and fun!

[@ferfernando593]

Beautiful trail, awesome ride!

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@IamSeafarer]

IDK how Cole can take shots of espresso on rides like these, I would have to shit off my bike if I did. Amazing footage as usual

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, iron stomach!

[@andrewherndon4372]

I appreciate the conversation titles. You should sell BKXC fenders like you’ve got on your bike!

[@bkxc]

Yeah, it's tough to send stuff out when I'm always traveling!

[@stuartwoodburn2653]

Rut central!! nice place to ride intense!!!

[@bkxc]

Haha yep!

[@SKBKER]

Man your bar is wider than my career prospects

[@bkxc]

Hahaha

[@B1KER]

That spot you got hung up on Rocky is super hard to get going again. That last section needs momentum to get through. Always a next time. It was fun to see you in my backyard. Interesting to see what parts of the trail you put in the final cut.

[@bkxc]

Man, so many tough spots! I've gotta get back and hit Rocky again

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

I’m home sick today I missed work and it’s raining 🌧 And I’m watching all your videos!👍😎 what the “hell” 🤮LoL

[@bkxc]

Ahh man, brutal!

[@TwitchyNick]

My Joe Blow pump gauge is high too by ~3psi. Checked against my Topeak digital gauge. But as long as it’s consistent and you know right? Trail looked fun. A little chunk, rut and flow. Nice riding.

[@bkxc]

Exactly, if it's consistent then you're good!

[@chrisgreen5000]

Damn Brian, I wish I would have known you were going to be in Auburn. Those are my "go to" trails. I would have used a sick day at work and joined you guys! I thought I had ridden ALL the trails up there but you hit two that did not look familiar to me towards the end of the video. Hmmmm.........

[@bkxc]

Haha there's always more out there!

[@donalmerriman5639]

Nice vid

[@znozrexpectllz3667]

Nice video man. Great shredding!

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@uxmx4597]

Eres enormee!!!! 💕💕

[@bkxc]

😁👍

[@WattyLegend]

The Big Guy sends!

[@bkxc]

Big time!

[@chrisgarland9381]

God I would love to make it out to California some day! Still waiting on spring here in NY. I rode my sb4.5 for the first time Saturday and the high was 28 degrees. And now more snow for tomorrow. WTF!! Great video man!

[@bkxc]

It's a great place to ride! Thanks Chris

[@antoineg639]

NY has been a little bitch this spring!

[@chrisgarland9381]

Antoine G sure has!

[@saxoncarr6532]

Worth staying up for

[@bkxc]

Haha nice

[@marinstaykov7689]

Good stuff (as always)

[@bkxc]

Thanks Marin!

[@ozzieharwood4547]

[@bkxc]

Thanks Ozzie!

[@mitchwarren1600]

So Brian if you’re helping with the van build ! Does that mean you have brought your Dad along 😀??

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, a lot of people were hoping I did in the live stream last night!

[@Cartsp70]

It’s soooooooooo nice to hear a quiet hub man , I’m so sick of my Hope hubs zzzzzzzz💤💤💤Zzzzz , 👍🏽👍🏽🤟🏾🌲🌳 nice trail bro huckin it single track bumpy style Nice 👍🏽👍🏽

[@bkxc]

Yeah, the noisy hubs are cool at first, but I think it gets a little old.

[@singhdeolji]

[@bkxc]

Nice!

[@ilikerealflight]

I seem to remember that the roadies pour water on their shorts. Keeps them cool, and stays there for quite a while

[@bkxc]

Nice!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Awesome trails, nice & rocky, reminds me of the peak district in the uk a little bit, good ride :)

[@bkxc]

Hell yeah, I hope I can get there!

[@ZRN1986]

Brian just so you know im sittin in line at McDonalds about to get the 20pc mcnugget box and im blaming you! Lol

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha love it

[@clayboren5557]

I have a feeling your not on the west coast now, lol great video brian

[@bkxc]

You're right about that!

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

Trail mix & expresso shot = possible shred formula? Awesome video

[@bkxc]

Haha super charger!

[@carbonsuicidemtb1583]

If you think California has been wet, you should try England! :)

[@bkxc]

Haha!

[@MTBdropIN]

Dude generic trail mix is also my thing, just adopted it last week ha ha.

[@bkxc]

Nice!! Cheap and easy and delicioso

[@nsldetails]

You should race the socal enduro series at vail lake

[@bkxc]

Probably gonna be out traveling!

[@MTBPlanB]

So many great places to ride! I need to do a tour de Left Coast.

[@bkxc]

It never ends, dude! So many great places.

[@PL-fh8cz]

Brian... Told ya! I said in a comment it looked & sounded like either tire pressure or fork was set up too hard.

[@bkxc]

Haha, I was saying the pump reads too hard, which means the tire is too soft

[@drones7838]

So I live near there. Never been. Actually happy he doesn't go ridding in my area. Everyone goes to Auburn. Just fine with me.

[@Ben-py9no]

Rowdy!

[@bkxc]

Big time!!

[@boydwieringa6983]

Mate you should come down to Australia and ride some of the trails down here. I would love to show you around

[@bkxc]

I've been! I'd like to get back

[@OmgDAM1]

Hi, I'm a big fan😋👍🏾

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!

[@kenjohnson4423]

2800 feet in 12 miles would be the end of me. Lol

[@bkxc]

Haha, UP AND UP!

[@munashe9400]

Good video

[@damiantrujillo9731]

Hi BK. Awesome video. Might go ride there tomorrow. Any idea about the amount of poison oak on the trails?

[@bkxc]

I haven't been back, not sure! Check Trailforks and see if anyone has submitted a report.

[@marldayniellesilvestre3372]

Better be comfortable on doing hiline or else your rear derailleur's broken! Nice riding man. Always love your videos! Keep it up

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much dude!

[@shaneboudreau1563]

Any chance you might come ride in the Northeast? Massachusetts is almost thawed out haha

[@bkxc]

I hope so this summer!

[@crewnottingham1430]

Hey Brian take culver next time you up in auburn

[@bkxc]

I did!

[@huntstyle]

All that loose rock is what the Texas Hill Country is like

[@bkxc]

Oh nice, I like the sound of that!

[@Kookaburra4509]

Brian- I was thinking of who you remind me of...Have you ever seen that TV show Legion? You look like the star Dan Stevens!

[@bkxc]

Haha, I just googled it, I see it!!

[@steve230870]

A week of rain??? You should be in the UK! We're lucky if we get a week when it isn't raining :)

[@bkxc]

Haha yep

[@steve230870]

BKXC wet rocks and roots are a lot of fun though. Another awesome video by the way.

[@geefunk07]

Where exactly r these trails.? Edit.. found it on Strava!!

[@joshgarbett878]

Great video and can you make a bike cleaning video

[@bkxc]
