Who needs mountains when you've got this? Mountain biking Alafia in Florida

[@ShutUpandRideMTB]

I love when riders like Mr. Tonka become great trail ambassadors for their local trails, willing to give tours, and always appreciating their trail boss. Nice job Brian, cheers!

[@bkxc]

Most definitely!

[@yeetom5549]

Dude I see your comments literally on every video it’s insane

[@SteadySpin]

So good to have ridden with you. See you on the trails soon.

[@bkxc]

You know it!!

[@s6p6h]

The look on your face when Brian says he'd give up a toe to a gator! : )

[@SteadySpin]

s6p6h I like to party but that’s to far for even me.

[@balince_media2754]

Brian, its time to start jumping bud. I've watched you from your first upload and u have the skill. U do. Just go for it.

[@luka3532]

he is afraid of injuiry

[@lucascastro7999]

you shouldn't be riding mountain bikes if you are a pussy

[@emuh]

@@lucascastro7999 some people just like the aesthetic of mountain biking

[@cmhardin37]

@@emuh Or they like riding trails, just not jumping...

[@caelaniscool1147]

Exactly I started biking two days ago and already cleared a 6 oot table top my second try and I got some air and I am perfectly fine

[@phulmaya3906]

Nice ride

[@Gamebit450]

Alafia always looks so damn fun on every single video.

[@Seth-jd5xn]

Sqausht Suspension it is

[@highlyfavored2434]

Went there today for my first time MTB. It was a blast !! Stunning place

[@rwogmtb-ridingwitholdguy]

rollercoaster and the snake jump are our favorites, enjoy FL, after Santos if you head further south Jonathan Dickinson SP, Markham Park and Virginia Key all are great..

[@Kent.]

"I want to bunny hop one" 😆🤘 That place looks like the best playground for mountain bikers!! I really liked this video... playful, relaxed and FUN!!

[@mtbmitch7936]

Oh yeah! 🤟

[@tgoody100]

I miss Alafia!! Just moved to San Diego about 9 months ago from Florida (about an hour north from the park) and don’t get me wrong, there are amazing trials out here but nothing beats shedding Alafia!!

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

Steady Spin is the man! I was lucky enough to ride with him a few weeks back at my local. Stoked you guys got to link up!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip!

[@Christopher_R]

I rode Alafia a couple of years ago. Such a great and unique trail system.

[@JerryWDaviscom]

Bro, I did not see you do those big drops at 15:00! :)

[@yajo22]

Aarrrgggg.. My home town.. already miss it. It doesn't need to be a mountain climb to get our cardio up there. Nice video Brian!!

[@razmtb5028]

yow, nice collab, mr.tonka and steady is killing it!!

[@dominicm.8283]

That looks super fun. I'm definitely adding this one to my list of trails. Great video and thanks for continuous inspiration.

[@KDog2264]

Good video Brian, thanks. It still surprises me how good of riding there is in Florida you would think there would be nothing there.

[@mikieson]

@Brian..one day you gonna be my age and wish you had taken more chances on your bike. bikes have been my passion since i was on training wheels. Growing up on bmx through the 80s and the whole freestyle flatland and ramp scene I never took enough chances. never learned to do ramps or simple jumps. never took the time to learn flatland properly and do the tricks i loved. Now approaching 50 i have little time left to prove to myself and end my fears of dying before i live out my dreams. I now ride mt bikes and ride road bikes so i have a whole other set of goals i want to accomplish. Dont let life pass you guys by cause it doesnt stop for anyone..

[@bkxc]

I'm happy with my life!

[@dfiler2]

I've heard way more people say they wish they hadn't taken so many chances in their youth. Both sentiments are out there. Personally, I think it is better to look at things first rather than sending them blind. I'm sure after a few more runs he'd be hitting just about everything. Life really passes you by when you're injured simply for being impatient and hitting quirky features like this blind.

[@Nkprf]

AWESOME! Glad you were able to make it out to our local trails and ride with some of the local shredders. Geo and ATC are absolutely killing it. Hope you can make it out again after they finish some more of the sick projects they have planned.

[@2plus2equalsLOL]

The orange stead is looking so good with that landscape.

[@MrTonka]

It does provide a nice contrast to all the green and grey.

[@CruJones]

So rad you made it my stomping grounds! Love Alafia. Glad you had a great time and I can't wait to see the next video.

[@ReviewChick]

Whaaaaaat? A couple of those drops made my palms sweat. Can’t wait to go! I went to Jacksonville and total elevation the whole weekend was ten feet! Gators galore!

[@familysessions2164]

Stoked to see you in Florida! Enjoy your rides here. Alafia has top notch trails. I'm glad I love nearby.

[@raczrides4031]

Awesome video. Glad you enjoyed the Florida mountain biking. I gotta make it to Alafia, looks like a blast

[@olivert.7192]

wow what a bizarre terrain! Nice video

[@seanh8546]

That beginning of that first trail reminds me a lot of dry creek in Modesto. Not very many hills but you do what you can with trail building

[@outbackwack368]

Man, never a dull moment! I'd love to have a park like that near me! Welcome back to stateside! Thanks!

[@spacetaco1]

Wow. Hard to believe that's Florida . Hats off to the builders!! Great job!

[@thelurker9472]

I am so excited. I just picked up a hardtail and ready to go.

[@Steven-rb7ph]

That place looks fun! It is good to see you attempting the jumps! More practice and you will be airing them all no problem.

[@IBCMTB]

That's some crazy landscape!

[@jeremyschroader879]

Welcome to Florida, hope you have a blast !

[@destinseese34]

Looks like a lot of fun. Would love to go there sometime. You make such amazing videos. Thanks for showing us some amazing places!

[@augustoutside5130]

Your bike still looks great! Its well traveled. And that place in Florida looks awesome!

[@truelokos]

Dude!! Florida Baby! Have a Blast..Markham park.

[@Shannon23455]

looks like a great area to ride. Thumbs up to the trail builders...

[@LuisGonzalez-nx2pn]

Another great video from BKXC, I'm glad you had the opportunity to come to the Sunshine State and enjoy it even that technically speaking; Florida doesn't have any Mountains but an excellent weather now 🏔 😎🤙

[@harrygrimley4352]

Wow. That place looks awesome.

[@grantfeddema5332]

That looked like a fun day B! Lots of jumps and drops out there!

[@singletracksender9021]

That’s it, I’m going this weekend. 3 hour drive it looks totally worth it

[@John_D2]

Some of my home trails. Glad you finally you got down here Brian !

[@jeremysweeten2792]

AWESOME WORK, Brian!

[@knordberg]

Love the flavor of trails in different states. What a blast to be able to sample them. Your counterparts have been in AZ but they've been having snow so FL is a great choice.

[@mtnbiker0205]

My home trails!!! Glad you had a good time.

[@garymoser7584]

Love seeing you guys riding my former home trail. Hopefully you were able to get a ride in at Boyette

[@allenkvextreme]

ONLY 5 MINUTES IN AND I GOTTA GO TO WORK. WILL CHECK OUT AFTER. SO FAR SO GOOD... CAN'T WAIT TO COME OFF WORK AND FINISH IT

[@justinrenda4451]

I loved alafia, the pedaling is totally worth the trails and features.

[@daveczir4146]

This place looks like so much fun! I need to do this!

[@MrTonka]

Hey, love your vids!

[@dukeofmtb]

You hang with all the top MTB KZbinrs, I'm surprised you don't already have like a half mil subs or something. Some of my favorite vids from BK & Sampler are the ones with you in it. Plus, all this biking has been treating you well. Compared to when I first saw you in your manual machine video, you look younger, fitter, & happier then ever before. Biking must be the secret to eternal youth. It would explain those 70 year old dudes flying past me on the trails.

[@MrTonka]

@@dukeofmtb hahaha. The KZbin algorithm is against me. Something about not putting out videos consistantly. Thanks! Cycling is for sure a way to stay young-ish looking and feeling. I wanna be one of those old shredders!

[@dukeofmtb]

@@MrTonka Same, I want to shred till my last breath. I spent a majority of my just youth playing video games all day long, and now that I'm 30, I regret it. Hope youtube gives you that break you deserve, you've been making videos for quite a while and doing colabs with everyone. It should only be a matter of time. Anyway, If you guys ever come to SE Michigan, I'm your man. 😉

[@MrTonka]

@@dukeofmtb Thanks! I just started getting after it in the middle of 2017. Not planning on stopping!

wowowow that scenery is unreal. great video

[@MtNgravel]

seriously great looking trails!!

[@EbikerYoung]

Clark rd in Lakeland is the place for gators on the trail. Also places of note to hit here, Balm Boyette, Croom, and Grapefruit Trails near Melbourne on the east coast is small but badass.

[@ytvideos101]

Brian, another great vid! 4hrs south and you can ride in my neck of the woods...Ft Lauderdale / Miami. (Johnathan Dickinson, Markham, Virginia Key, Oleta River, etc.) 😁👍🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🌴☀️

[@bananas700]

i remember this from ales video looks well fun wish i could go ride there but stuck in the cold scotland

[@dead3231]

Thanks for showing my home trails to the rest if country...we do have a nice mtb community in this area....maybe not great training for Enduro or Downhill but techs skills can be mastered here....definitely great destination for winter riders that are snowed in...summers are more hot and humid and less equitable.

[@mitchsmith8724]

Great trail, Brian is like a mountain goat can and will climb anything ! 😂💪🏼🚵🏼‍♂️

[@michaelhappel51]

Added to my bucket list for MTBing! Hope our paths cross at some point to ride!

[@brcc8208]

The terrain on that trail is so unusual, so hard to interpret what's next.

[@jaysolla1949]

FL mtb trails in a nutshell.. very punchy and unpredictable with a lack of flow and nonstop pedaling lol. somehow still slightly enjoyable.

[@gvasallo9471]

Awesome man! Glad to see you’re in Florida these days.. hope to see you riding some trails further down south. ✌️👍

[@letsgoridebikes]

That is some of the flowiest jank I've seen. Looks like a good time.

Haha great way to put it!!

Lol super fun day. Thanks for the adventure

Looks an awesome place to session and practise.....Mr Tonka gotten steazy! 🤘

Glad I caught the tail end of you guys at my local trail. Great video ! Hope to catch you on a ride at some point.

[@alexurrutia2674]

cant wait for the santos video. goint to be out at alafia int the next couple moths if mr.tonka wants to join !

Cool spot! Time for road trip!

Hey your in my home town. Wish I knew you were out here. I would have loved to have tried to keep up with ya.

[@rodrigomaximianoongaroro8774]

Hello Brian, Very técnico trial bike park in florida,drops, singles track,Very insano MAM show video, thanks my friend Brian 😎🇧🇷🤘🏽

[@philo0]

It amazes me at how many hours you have on a bike and the reluctance to hit anything of consequence - small gaps, drops, nope chicken run every time. I don't get it

[@TALANGENI]

I totally get it. First off, the cost of these bikes, 2nd the cost of frontal lobe injuries. Stay safe, keep up with the great videos!

[@TALANGENI]

Fortunately it’s America and other countries. and he gets to do whatever the hell he wants. I and many others enjoy what he does and the day he makes that steep leap will be monumental for all.

[@TonyHob]

I actually like watching him because it shows you do not have to do big jumps or drops to be a good rider and enjoy the trail. At 50 y/o I would rather not get injured, specially since I have a full time job. I'm sure he can kick most of our butts on a technical trail.

[@mtadams2009]

I totally get why. I myself love technical trails but want no part of gaps, drops etc. I do not need serious injures, sadly I have had a few anyway. I watch enough mt bike channels and most of the riders have been hurt. Seth is a very good rider but he too has been getting hurt, how long can you do that and still make a living.

[@joelkooienga87]

99.9% of the time a go-pro does not show truly how steep something is, but in this case it showed that .1% lol Keep up the great videos Brian!!!! Being as I'm from MI I'm biking vicariously through you right now.
