Gnarliest, steepest, lankest? | Mountain Biking Jonkershoek in South Africa

[@pedalsandplants5725]

You know the trails mean business and are to be taken seriously when your local guide is wearing chest protection! Awesome trail and vid, thanks again!

[@bkxc]

Hahaha yep!

[@OutdoorGold]

Great video BKennedy! I nominate you for the mtb best picture of 2017! Stunning scenery....shocking ride.......110% original material and a great view of South Africa!

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!!

[@brentcammidge9955]

I am glad my country men showed you a great time , it looks like the weather was amazing

[@bkxc]

It was super day!

[@RGCastro7]

What an awesome video, Brian! I think it's the one I've most enjoyed. Techy trails, good company, interesting zoo experience, and those scenes with the giraffes were so funny! Thank you for bringing us along!

[@bkxc]

Awesome, glad to hear it Renzo!

[@antiherobc]

Those are such sweet trails, I'm so stoked you enjoyed dude. You killed it down that stuff Brian. Man that giraffe tongue was so weird and I that snake really freaked me the f-out when I came up like that. I really thought I was fine with snakes until I watched my own reaction in this video, turns out I don't like pythons. Lol

[@bkxc]

Hahahahaha, classic!!

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

This one was so good it deserves 2 comments and multiple likes! Great job brother.

[@bkxc]

I appreciate it dude!

[@Esteb858]

That's so cool to see you link up with Wayne in South Africa! He's got a pretty cool channel that does't get as much love as he deserves. Great riding and some really rocky steep trails there!

[@bkxc]

Yep, he is riding some amazing stuff down there!!

[@royjaleco]

Mean trails but so awesome! This is fast becoming my next favorite video after Switzerland. Great riding, Brian!

[@bkxc]

Awesome! Glad to hear it Roy

[@christopher-deankopp7681]

I like how they say "JA!" like we do in Germany. Love that accent :D and I really like watching all the stuff happening outside mountain biking too ! That trip to the zoo was awesome. Feel free to add more "normal life" action to your videos :)

[@bkxc]

Nice!! glad to hear it

[@mtadams2009]

Great riding, you have gotten so smooth on the bike. I never realized how beautiful South Africa was and the trails are second to none, take care

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@alexandergroot608]

This is what I call quality content! Love ur videos m8

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@chipandpete]

Looked like an absolute blast all around. Thanks 4 sharing.

[@bkxc]

Thanks for watching!!

[@KECMTB]

I've really genuinely enjoy every video of yours lately, especially the africa series - it brings me right back to my own african adventures regretting having not brought a mountainbike back then. Keep up the good videos Brian. Stay happy! :D

[@bkxc]

That’s great, glad you’re digging the current run!!

[@pedalsandplants5725]

_There are no B-lines here, absolutely no B-lines!_

[@AaronSchroder]

Wow your skill level on steep stuff has come a long way. I had my hands over my eyes a couple of times. Awesome video, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@bkxc]

Haha, that's awesome

[@JoaquinBridges]

That first section was crazy awesome. Reminds me a bit like Cali forests. Such amazing trails they built. Fantasic!

[@bkxc]

And they're building more! Gotta get back when it's done

[@MClark164]

What a great trail system. I don’t think I would travel to Kijabe, but these trails look worthy of the trip. Beautiful views and epic single track!

[@bkxc]

Yeah it’s a little more developed!

[@willitsareacyclists6281]

These trails look so incredibly fun! Thanks for the tour

[@bkxc]

Glad you liked it Adam!!

[@Ben-py9no]

Awesome man! Still the best MTB channel on KZbin. Keep it going dude!

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@walthamstowman]

Wow Brian South Africa looks so beautiful the trails were very well put together it looked great fun thanks for making another killer video.....

[@bkxc]

Cape Town really is an awesome MTB town!

[@zacharysiegel4123]

Best Trail Ever & Best BKXC Video Ever

[@bkxc]

Thanks Zachary!

[@rigardtgriessel8476]

My backyard :) Some of the best trails in the world!!

[@bkxc]

That's awesome man! Such a great place

[@gregoryvierra6114]

You're a very solid rider, Brian. You, Seth and Alex. Keep it up!

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@MTBScotland]

Best trails I've seen you ride for a while. Nothing like technical and steep to get your heart pumping and make you realise your suspension isn't set up right ha ha ha.

[@bkxc]

Yep, this was another level and so awesome

[@WynandBasson]

MTB Scotland and I won’t wished we could’ve gone to the top of The Plumber and thrown in Chocolate muffin just for the really narley bits!

[@wtchths1234]

That was awesome! Awesome trails and enjoying the off trail action too! Happy for you

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@nicoarnold2200]

Wow Paul is definitely not 20 and he GOES! Nice ride guys

[@PaulThePunter]

Never in a million years would I think that Cape Town actually has riding like this, holy! I rode with a dude from SA when I was in Queenstown and he was awesome...this is probably why. Why did he never mention this?!

[@bkxc]

Yeah man, just straight up crazy stuff!!

[@bobbymoranda6729]

Absolutely SPECTACULAR Brian!!! Keep up the outstanding job! Coach Mo

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much Bobby!!

[@grantfeddema5332]

I have got to go there and ride!! Amazing scenery, and as you say a lot like BC.

[@Fleepage]

This is probably one of the steepest trails I've seen you ride. Lots of confidence too. Killer footage man!

[@bkxc]

Definitely the steepest I can remember!

[@kyle618]

Awesome video with some majestic trails! That made my day!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Kyle, love hearing that!

[@SubieSpecial]

Wow.....crazy ass trail! Thanks for sharing what we're missing state side!

[@bkxc]

Such an awesome one!

[@corey6541]

I also run butcher 2.8 and omg the grip for days ! Keep up the amazing adventures the inspiration is real ! 🤘😝🤘

[@ivanferenac]

Wow, epic Brian! Great trails, added to my list.

[@bkxc]

Love hearing that!

[@rivilcur4509]

Finally I was waiting for some animal action , also lights on camera looks better now. As always cool vídeo man keep it going.

[@bkxc]

😁👍

[@caperider1160]

Hello! I am planning a trip to Cape Town this month. Can this trail be covered with an xc bike (100mm front suspension hard tail)??

[@paultrail-blocker6088]

Not sure how you ever sit on your saddle with balls that big!! Even with the GoPro effect that looked crazy steep and gnarly, you go boy!!!

[@bkxc]

Haha it was silly steep but I just followed Paul and everything worked out.

[@jmrosel71]

Nice trail and video BKXC. Your trails are really amazing. Keep it up.

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude, I love this!

[@JoshuaBaylin]

I died when I saw that torturous 😂, also great video Brian !!

[@bkxc]

Thanks man!

[@freerangemtb]

Oh, yeah! it's Wednesday. Time for another BKXC adventure! 2:38 - man that looks so unbelievably chunky. You seem to be riding over it like it was smooth and flowey. I can't quite tell, but it feels like this is pushing beyond your comfort level. Are we seeing skill building in progress right before our very eyes? Nice going! 6:06 - Steep, but you are not hesitating at all. Just going after it. It's like that guy said earlier in the video, "Just let the bike do it's thing." 6:26 - Those last second "NOPE!" moments that your body does on these things! Been there! 9:15 - that is a very interesting Coke can. 10:03 - How well did that fly scarer contraption work? 14:05 - I think I just started liking giraffes. This was one of my favorite videos! I loved the animal farm tour after, too. That was cool. Definitely looking forward to more of your adventures. Have a good one, Brian! Stay upright and keep the rubber side down. -Brian

[@bkxc]

Glad you enjoyed this one from top to bottom Brian!

[@BrianVaughn]

Great trails! That first trail looked amazing. The animal visit was hilarious.

[@bkxc]

That first trail was unreal, so glad I got through it!

[@yeitsluk]

yasss, a new vid!! im watching it now!!!

[@bkxc]

😁👍

[@straightnobraker4677]

Blown away by that trail system. I would be satisfied to ride that everyday of my life. Excellent video bru haha

[@bkxc]

I agree, that system is second to none!

[@siddhartaclark7040]

Wow! These guys are not kidding around!!! Awesome! But I think if you can survive Mont Blanc......this should be a walk in the park...

[@bkxc]

Haha, this was a little more crazy than Mont Blanc! I don’t remember anything this steep

[@garydecker3281]

That may be your coolest video yet!!

[@bkxc]

Haha awesome!

[@grizzkid795]

That second trail kind of reminds me of Moraine Trail at PC. Nice!

[@bkxc]

Haha, I still haven't ridden anything out there YET!

[@mtb_rene317]

Love the 'off the trail' footage! You guys were having a blast at the petting zoo!

[@bkxc]

Glad you dug that!

[@sergiomtb55]

Awesome trails, but even better stuff with the animals.Great video!

[@bkxc]

Haha thanks dude

[@raiatea76]

Why can't I upvote more!? Nice vid like always, Bryan!

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@mountaintime4276]

Great riding! Giraffe house looked like a lot fun!!

[@bkxc]

Haha it was goofy and fun!

[@acsaiyanbalce4610]

Looks like you tested your skills and bike on that trail and passed with flying colors!! Awesome Bryan!! 👍👍

[@bkxc]

Thanks Nuke, it was a challenge!

[@ZombieHorrorMuerto]

6:10 hey Wayne! Yeaaaah!!!

[@bkxc]

😁👍

[@neauafk7675]

i remember 10 years ago when jonkershoek only had a simple loop of about 15km of riding.. holy sheet they've done a lot of work, time for a visit

[@bkxc]

Wow, it's come a long way then!!

[@Steaks652]

Thanks Thomas, it’s been an amazing journey!

[@mountaintime4276]

Haven't finished watching yet but that first section was awesome!!

[@bkxc]

Haha yeah man, it was a bit ridiculous!

[@JimEckhardt]

This reminds me of the first time I did an Enduro at karkloof... It wasn't as bad, but being a total noob - it totally felt like this looks! 😂

[@SGMTB]

This reminds me a ton of some of the trails in the Gillard network, here in Kelowna, BC.

[@bkxc]

Nice! I’ll have to check that out

[@SGMTB]

If you ever find yourself within the Okanagan, hit me up! I'll show you all the best!

[@DirtWireTV]

Color looks especially good on this one, dude.

[@bkxc]

Thanks!!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Probably the most technical trail i've seen you ride i think, very gnarly, loved the giraffe house too, nice adventure :-))

[@bkxc]

I felt like it was pretty off the charts too!

[@sulcate]

great vid dude, keep up the great work!!!!!!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Angelo!

[@Chedda_chz]

Awesome trails! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@bkxc]

Thanks D!

[@jjshredsleds4847]

Such a beautiful place and another awesome video!! The animal parts made me laugh so hard 😂

[@bkxc]

Haha awesome!!

[@goldred33]

I’m loving this Africa trip. Have you ever heard/been to Safari West? It’s up by near us in Santa Rosa. This reminded me a bit of that.

[@bkxc]

Thanks Eric! Ive definitely heard of Safari West but haven't been yet.

[@billw_mtb3220]

Cool looking ride! I liked the zoo visit too.

[@bkxc]

That was a fun one! Amazing riding and how can you not love the animals?

[@bkxc]

Haha the total package!

[@markg999]

Man thats some beautiful views.

[@bkxc]

It really was!

[@teodelfuego]

What was that black platform at 4:40?

[@bkxc]

Keep stuff out of the water I'm guessing

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

"Hey Wayne" LMAO!! Dude's just there lurking in the bushes and Brian's like, "sup" lol

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha glad you noticed that one

[@shredderdad6995]

Great video Brian. Super awesome dream trails. By the way, I chicken out with you too on that rock... 😂 take care brother. God Bless.

[@bkxc]

Haha that dang rock!

[@keithatdti]

OMG, that looked scary as hell but, loved the animals.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, it was pretty scary!

[@waltrobinson407]

[@coltsfan79]

Another great video, i give you props you're braver than me with that python.

[@bkxc]

Haha, not a problem!

[@michaeljohn5584]

Wow, cool! That is not what I would imagine South Africa to look like.

[@bkxc]

It's amazing!

[@ecarter202]

Oh ya, you are for sure improving. Seems like you can take the difficult line no problem, but if there is an easier route available you don't think twice to take it. Anyway, keep up the Lord's work!

[@bkxc]

Thanks my man!

[@jdoe3006]

those animals are lovely and damn that was a very exhausting terrain, my mid tier bike wouldnt sruvive that terrain along with my current skills. I would still love to experience that regardless if only I had the chance

[@bkxc]

It's a pretty ridiculous trail!

[@jdoe3006]

Wow you replied :o Thanks for inspiring us! Keep it up! Specifically keep having fun! I wish I could ride with you.

[@kesleykaps]

Name of trail at 08:00?
