Cross ANOTHER ONE off the bucket list | Mountain Biking Lord of the Squirrels | BK vs. BC Episode 8

[@BCpov]

I was so happy when we found out they had opened the trail! I was afraid you wouldn't get to ride it! So amazing up there!

[@petec3658]

Thanks for mentioning when this trail is open man- we're visiting BC from the UK for the first time in early September. Stoked to know it should be open! Can't wait! 😁

[@FreeworldOL]

This has been a great series from you both

[@bkxc]

Pretty glad we got to hit it. Otherwise I would have maybe had to fly back on a random weekend just to do it!!

[@brucemacneil]

Eric is kind of like the Harry Dean Stanton of mountain biking.

[@BCpov]

Bruce MacNeil haha, I'll take that as a compliment!

[@climbingtothemoon]

What an awesome ride, it’s on the bucket list. Don’t worry about not riding ‘hard’ enough. I like the chatting and a pace that gives me the illusion I might be able to keep up.

[@bkxc]

Haha thanks dude. I was thinking about this on the ride today!

[@TheLoamRanger]

I base the gnar/fun factor of a trail off of how many "ha HAAAA"s I hear from Brian. This was a good one :D

[@bkxc]

Haha exactly!!

[@51249ca]

Brian needs to get a sticker made up that says: ha HAAAA"s

[@ronsanderson99]

Dude, great to see the you rode Happy Hour! And thanks for the shout out and compliments! Looks like you guys are having a total blast!

[@bkxc]

Glad you told us to do it!! It was a great day.

[@cheezdoodle1949]

Wow. Insanely beautiful up there. Added to bucket list for sure

[@bkxc]

Glad to hear that!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Your videos lately have been insane! Blown away by the beauty and technicality of BC. Can't wait to go back :)

[@bkxc]

BC is the damned best thing ever. Probably need to move their for a month every summer now.

[@danjohnson7170]

Thanks for sharing Brian. Absolutely loving the series. I've only been riding a year but living in BC so I'm definitely making that ride a bucket list event.

[@bkxc]

Awesome! You've got a lot of great stuff all around you!

[@chantalbedard404]

Just beautiful !

[@bkxc]

Big time!

[@timmygriffin]

Props for doing such an epic ride Brian & Eric. I'm on your Patreons and missed you at Whistler Bike Park by like two days so I'm gutted. I only explored the park .. next time I'll do some pedalling!

[@bkxc]

Definitely get outside the park next time! Hopefully we gave you a couple good ideas!!

[@Kent.]

The scenery when you climb was epic!!

[@bkxc]

It was one of a kind!

[@Twentykixx]

This ride is truly epic in every sense, and probably one of the best in the world. Rode it last year, will never forget the first time. Awesome. 😊

[@bkxc]

So dang good! We ripped that descent so damn fast it was a blur of awesomeness.

[@kellymurphy4686]

Hey Brian, I rode this last August in the smoke of the Pemberton fires. Nice to see your video of a clear day.

[@bkxc]

We got lucky! Lots of fires happening all around

[@cellphonenut]

OMG those lakes unreal !!

[@bkxc]

Everything up there looked fake!

[@cellphonenut]

No doubt

[@IntoTheTroid1]

Geez that's the nicest trail I've seen...like a mtb magazine add up there!

[@bkxc]

Exactly what I thought!

[@bedardo7149]

[@ryanmanning4977]

While you were riding the whole time I was thinking about bikepacking it. Now that I know you're going bike paling I'm so stoked to get in the mood to train for this ride! Keep up the fantastic riding Brian!

[@bkxc]

Hell yes!!

[@talkmauro]

Wow amazing. BK continues to rip. So beautiful up there. Need to get better at riding so I can do some of those trails

[@bkxc]

This is definitely worth setting a goal for!!

[@bensieber6960]

[@bkxc]

Glad you're still enjoying the videos Chris!! It's been a wild 2 years.

[@MrMikeB1]

Serious climbing day on the bike.

[@bkxc]

Huge!

[@clydesdalemountainbiking7393]

I am loving this combo of riders. Two of my favorites to follow. One for some stellar local trails and one because of all the new places you ride. Thank you for the episodic Meetup :).

[@bkxc]

Glad you're enjoying it!!

[@andrewz576]

a beautiful route

[@bkxc]

Loved it!

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

[@roberttate4816]

Brilliant ride & trail beautiful place, it’s a proper mountain ride when you see snow in the summer on the trails 😍

[@Allfather88]

Epic views!

[@bkxc]

Some of the BEST

[@bradgrace5000]

Epic!

[@bkxc]

The definition of epic!

[@crispychris7392]

Love seeing the struggle...more struggle. great vids man, and keep up the good work.

[@bkxc]

Haha it's all about struggle, the only way to get anywhere worthwhile.

[@jorgenr]

This video is therapy.

[@robertlawrence2748]

Hi, I love the enthusiasm and joy in your videos :-) Wonderful to watch, and you ride some gnarly but not superhuman stuff, so I can relate to the whole experience. Truly inspiring ! Thankyou :-)

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!!

[@elementour]

Stunning part of the world

[@bkxc]

Big time!

[@MTBPlanB]

Wow @ 2 minutes, the view in the background as you round the turn and crest!

[@bkxc]

Unreal!

[@andyp6169]

Probably my favourite trail I've seen you ride

[@bkxc]

Love hearing that!!

[@cooperdouglas3747]

Nice video. Keep up the good work

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@joshuamcdonald4427]

Wow dude just jaw dropping scenery, not a bad life getting to travel the world just to ride your bike in some of the most beautiful (and gnarly) trails on Earth!. Loving your vids, good job 👍👍

[@bkxc]

It's pretty amazing !

[@326264693]

Man those trails look flipping awesome

[@bkxc]

They're so dang good!!

[@mtb_mike3293]

Beautiful ride, thanks for the video.

[@bkxc]

Glad you liked it!

[@byrne12341]

The tire skidding on rock slabs has to be one of the best sounds in the world 😍

[@bkxc]

No doubt about it!

[@petayV8]

Wow this is unreal

[@bkxc]

Pretty good one Pete!

[@DistrictMountainBiker]

Heading out to Whistler next week and planning to ride this so the timing of the video couldn't have been better! Looks like you're having a crazy time out there, keep them coming!

[@bkxc]

Awesome! Have a blast dude

[@afurantadas9945]

I must say your improving from the day 1 i saw your video bro.... Keep it up.

[@bkxc]

Glad to hear it!

[@philjones7351]

Best trail yet!!! I live on the wrong continent 😉

[@bkxc]

Haha get your ass over here!

[@stevethesmazsmathers9112]

Damn, you've been getting plenty of high altitude, technical riding riding lately! All good prep for for Tibet trip! Awesome stuff!

[@bkxc]

So much good training!!

[@daverichardson6334]

Dude... unbelievable ride! I need to build up my fitness for a ride like this but it's on my bucket list for sure.

[@bkxc]

It's a worthy goal to build up to!

[@1speedbrian]

That was an unbelievably beautiful trail, planning a BC/whistler tip next summer this just went to the top of my list.

[@bkxc]

Oh hell yeah! Hope you make it happen

[@adrianojunior4997]

Awesome !

[@bkxc]

Thanks bro!

[@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles]

ALL of the cinemas...

[@bkxc]

Big time!

[@mtlxc5586]

Eric is right that was EPIC!! 🙏

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude, it was a good one!

[@DMMTB]

Wow.... Big effort to get to the top but well rewarded with an epic decent with awesome vistas 🤘

[@willbros1499]

Amazing trail!! 5:13...when I see trail like that, I always wonder..."How in the heck did they build that?" Then at 11:50, just based on what I know about GoPro flattening things out, there's NO WAY that little section is not a black based solely on IMBA's requirements for grade alone. In fact, I saw several sections that were definitely at least black, if not double black, at most places. Great riding, and that I agree with BC POV...that trail looks like a special one for sure. Incredible scenery, and it looked like it was one of those "gotta be on your toes" the whole way type of experiences, which I love, because they make the miles go by!

[@bkxc]

Haha yeah, at that point we had finished Lord of the Squirrels and were into double black territory!!

[@supermansr44]

i like how you post in your videos the time and miles traveled. all i can say is wow. im working to get to those distances per ride.

[@bkxc]

I've been happy to add that info in!

[@5492sparky]

Great ride Brian. That trail looks fantastic. Have bought myself a Rallon today. Should be ready in about a weeks time for me.

[@bkxc]

Wow that's awesome!!

[@havock1013]

Who gives a 👎 let alone 2? Great vids as usual!

[@bkxc]

Haha they always out there!

[@hobmarg]

Two hours from the valley to On the Rocks? These dudes are legit climbers! Loving these series guys, killing it.

[@bkxc]

Hell yeah man!!

[@JoePalumbo221]

Great video. I think Brian won this one nailing that climb on the rock face. Eric fell off it. Lol.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha that was a classic moment

[@JamesRobertMTB]

Amazing place!

[@bkxc]

Thanks !

[@knordberg]

That was so stinking beautiful!

[@bkxc]

Thanks man!!

[@mitchwarren1600]

Fresh back from Morzine!!! 4 weeks until America! And while I’m there our first Grandchild will be born ! Another mtb tribe member! Brian I’ve made the time ride and life is very good!

[@bkxc]

That's so cool to hear Mitch!!

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

damn dawg, that was some gnarly tech there!

[@bkxc]

The total package!!

[@andyginther8562]

Saw this on Eric’s vid first time last year and was blown away! So stoked Brian got to hit it. Wished the royal squirrel made his appearance (with crown and scepter). Eric your spill seemed to exude tired surrender. Held it like a champ though. What do you guys do for recovery between rides? I still sore from watching last one.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha the true Emperor Squirrel would not present himself!! I always try to eat a lot after a ride. High protein type meals. Sleep is always a huge factor as well. I can't believe how well my body coped with this trip.

[@sosoblaq]

That trail looks almost perfection to me the scenery views trees water colours only problem that blue trail don't look like one to me

[@bkxc]

It's pretty amazing

[@kitten-inside]

That small rock that beat Eric seemed so easy on video. I can only imagine how it felt after hours of climbing.

[@bkxc]

The rock wall climb?? Haha, it was straight up 5 feet!

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

Please forgive me if this has already been asked, but WHO BUILT the very few wooden features on this trail, and who dragged that Gondola up there? Thanks in advance and please forgive me if these are annoying questions.

[@bkxc]

I'm guessing the gondola was taken up by helicopter. The trails are built and maintained by the mountain bike club WORCA. I'm sure some other entities helped build other pieces up there as well. But WORCA goes up and makes sure the trails are ridable and clear and that it's a fun experience.

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

BKXC I think this may be the best MTB vid I’ve ever seen. What a trail. Gorgeous scenery and you really get a feel for how zonked you guys were afterward. Stellar.

[@alfieritchie8446]

Would you consider the new silent hubs so your audio is just tyres when you descend

[@bkxc]

Yeah definitely!

[@lalolbc]

Very envious

[@bkxc]

It's a good one!

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Hell yea.... loved this!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Coach!

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

Were anything edited in regards of contrast and color? Man that is a lush and vibrant scenery!

[@bkxc]

Same as all my other videos! It's unreal up there.

[@mtbjeff9427]

hey brian i saw you in summit a few weeks back did you ever get a chance to do kybers pass

[@bkxc]

I did! That's on my top of the world video from last week, it was SWEEEET

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Super neat trails Brian, it did look like the top of the earth. Do you remember what the temperature was that day?

[@bkxc]

It was pretty nice! No doubt 65 degrees at the top.

[@snat6299]

That’s a epic ride, never saw the total time at the end? You guys are animal’s! Killer views too

[@SydneySambia]

Oh nooooooo! I missed you guy's! I rode lord of squirrel twice last week... And I'm returning Paris tomorrow! Geeez!!! Really great trail by the way 👍👍👍💥💥💥💥

[@bkxc]

Wow, pretty awesome you did it twice!

[@SydneySambia]

Yeaaah... well 1st time it took me something like 5h to get to the top! 4 the second time! i wanted to do it a third time...but the legs wouldn't follow ! by the way thank you for all the videos! i have to say sometimes it is too long for me... but i always enjoy going on trail with you! it is really inspiring! so keep it up!!!

[@mikieson]

that is some of the most beautiful country ive seen..would be insane in real life..RAD!!

[@bkxc]

It really is insane in real life!

[@PS-gm7vg]

Wow what was elevation gain total?

[@bkxc]

5,000 something!

[@shanewilkinson9479]

Just told my wife that I have to do this one someday soon. She had some choice words for you two.

[@bkxc]

Haha, sounds like she might need some re-programming!

[@shanewilkinson9479]

BKXC Lol. It’s a fine line to tip-toe. She appreciates how riding keeps me fit, but if she gets into it, she might realize how much I spend on my bike... and she might need a bike herself.... My biggest worry if I die is that she sells my bike for how much I told her it’s worth. Anyway, I’m sure I can add this one to my need to do list and she will (eventually) realize there’s no stopping me. Nice job on the 19 mile ride, dude.
