Holding on for dear life at Horns Hill 🇺🇸 50 STATE SHRED: OHIO

📺 Check out longer videos and early releases over on / bkxc
I had a few folks reach out and suggest I hit up Horns Hill near Columbus, Ohio. But when I looked at the Trailforks map it was one random blue square trail.
After getting a few more emails someone sent me a real map of the place and it showed four downhill runs. That was enough to roll the dice and see what they had hiding out there.
These trails were legit, tough and rocky downhill park style stuff. They've had a huge groundswell of rider and community support and they're turning this place into a real hub for Ohio mountain biking. So cool!

was a blast riding with you Brian! Let me know whenever you’re back

[@Blake_Cherubini]

Had such a good time showing you around Brian! Glad you liked it! Tons of people have put in lots of hours to make this THE place to ride in Ohio!

In the first 10 seconds of the video I thought "I hope Blake is there to tow" 😂

How would he even get the van there?

[@benlenton3932]

Any riding spots in Finland you'd recommend? Used to live near Levi in the winters never got to ride bikes only snowmobiles

[@cmcz1207]

NE Adventures just ship it.

[@whydoihavesomanysubscriber9729]

Hey, Brian! I thougt it would be a really cool idea if once this 50 state shred series is over, if you ranked all the states from worst to best! (At least from the trails you rid)

[@nicu-gs3qs]

Try Ray's indoor bike park in cleveland, it's amazing!!!

[@danmangan7408]

You have got to be one of the most consistent content creators on KZbin. You are a beast. I can't believe how you've pushed through the 50 State Shred with all the COVID craziness! Well done my friend, well done. Keep rolling!

[@stevencole7331]

Kind of like a pump track getting every bit out of the minimal elevation

[@nathanflauto577]

Definitely worth the drive north to check out Hampton Hills, East Rim, and Bedford Reserve

[@nathanflauto577]

Also definitely want that ohio graphic

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

Yes East rim is worth riding. Edson run is the downhill jump line at East rim.

[@rustyshackleford9498]

Don't even bother with anything in Ohio that isn't northeast or southeast. Go browns.

[@off-gridmountainadventures9430]

I'm about to do West Branch for my KZbin channel I've hiked those Trails there black diamond and they are very hard

[@michaelcawley7400]

Did you check out Chestnut Ridge while your in Columbus

[@CarrotCannon]

"full commit brian!", great advice!

[@aaronbailey4823]

Hopefully oregon won't be on fire when you get here!

[@fchavez6198]

Aaron Bailey true that, I’m looking forward to seeing him come to Oregon

[@Gdownification]

When you hit KY (if you haven’t already) you should check out Devou Park in Covington!

[@TrailTrekker]

So sick to see a big KZbinr at my local trails in Ohio!!

[@tannerthimling4293]

i thought around a minute and a half in that these trails looked familiar - then scrolled down and noticed Send'er Buds comment and yep - that's why. good choice.

[@Blake_Cherubini]

We had to show him the goods! 🤙🏻

[@videowerd]

good rollin' BK, my fellow reluctant jumper!

[@cyclingfreak4634]

@BKXC I just wanted to ask how do u manage ur job and cycling as well. I also wanted to do such cycling. Can u please guide me. Plz

[@nathancantwell602]

This is Brian's job.

[@cyclingfreak4634]

Ohk THANKS!!!!

[@huckinghardtails4989]

These trails look awesome, can’t wait to get up there

[@chuckwalters4759]

STILL My favorite MTB channel Brian!

[@NorthCountryMTB]

Is there something you replace coffee with or do you just get up and go? Whats your morning fuel???

[@jreh3811]

Iowa got hit by derecho, but some trails are back up and running. Sugar Bottom, Sunderbruch, Iowa Power. Brown County Indiana is a blast. Cuyuna lakes Minnesota is probably best in Midwest. Lacrosse, wi has a great set of trails.

[@ChadSextoid1]

The kid yelling "full commit, Brian" was hilarious. His support worked though. You nailed that double! 👍

[@timothyasdent9512]

[@TheJaxsonjack]

Horns Hill? Meh ... Full - faced helmet stuff. Bailey's or Mohican or Lake Hope are far better examples for the people who follow your channel who want something more than a 49 second downhill.

[@sillyDevin2015]

BK - you should have visited Baileys trail system in athens. More your speed. Horns hill I think is for guys who love jumps - could be wrong. Baileys trail system has over 40 miles currently and adding a lot more over last 5 years.

[@greylynnn]

Loving your content at 2am in Auckland New Zealand

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Who knew Ohio had any flowing downhill trails. Good guides as well. Thanks for the video man.

[@ClarkBark14]

Few sections of Sells Park, Vultures Knob and Mohican Trail get going pretty damn fast. Chestnut ridge also recently finished a rather long downhill jump line for central Ohio.

[@hardtobearit]

wish you could learn how to jump. it makes riding so much more fun and floowy. really whats stopping you? fear? you have the best gear for the job take advantage of it.

[@kenbest76]

Alaska is best during the actual late spring / summer months. It's already getting cold here and it starts to rain a bunch. Unless you wait till late January and ride fat bikes out to a glacier :) It's something different, but it would be a shame to miss out on the summer trails. They're pretty incredible.

[@reedwindmiller7490]

Looks like you plan on coming right through my area in eastern Iowa (Davenport). If you have time for 2 of our multiple trail systems I'd be happy to guide.

[@trulyinfamous]

All we have are hills around the North and west of Ohio. I guess it's nice for mountain biking, but I've never done it.

[@billoberg6716]

I'm sorry but you can't count Missouri as done by seth's backyard trails--as cool as they are. It would be an injustice to a state that actually has a bunch of nice sized Ozark hills/small mountains and same great trails built on them.

[@maxgirouxpro]

According to youtube statistics, only a portion of my subscribers actually watch my videos.

[@raheemgahelable]

Horns Hill! That's my baby!! 🤘🤘, Great video , Brian!

First Like ....Then watch =) Greetings from germany

[@johndef5075]

Check out Baileys in Chauncey Ohio. Or Chestnut Ridge in Canal Winchester.

[@timross5324]

So many good trails in Ohio . Awesome you hit horns . You’ve gotta come back and hit Mohican state park and many others in Ohio .

[@oiseo4498]

what else is good?

[@timross5324]

East Rim in Akron , Great seal in Chillicothe, Chestnut Ridge and alum creek in central Ohio . Oak openings in Toledo . Lots of improvements and new trails in Ohio

[@nightraiyu7647]

how do you find these trails, is it a website or app? i having a hard time finding trails like these around me.

[@ononewheel7]

Do you think at the end of the 50 state shred you will rank the states?? Could be a cool video looks like such a blast doing a trip like this!

[@jasonlackey1960]

How do you have so much energy without drinking coffee?!

[@rhettlindholm7117]

Please check out Potters Pasture in NEBRASKA!

[@jctrails]

What a rad trail center! Little man rips! Definitely need to visit Ohio.

[@Blake_Cherubini]

Would love to show you around!

[@jctrails]

Send 'er Buds that would be great!

[@Boone1981]

Perhaps when things get back to normal you can do a second lap of the 50 States. This time Have a poll for which trail in each state. For the record you would've liked West Branch, East Rim, Mohican state park, Ceasars Creek, Tuscazoar or Vultures Knob better, more tech and miles.

[@lukepstwo]

Finally someone says Vulture! Has a certain character that can't be beat. Maybe not the best for the video though -- last time I was there I cleared everything easy with a WalMart bike.

[@ilexmortisligaming]

watched in Sunpeaks bike park, your' 50 state shred is coming close Winnipeg, I try and ride in Minnesota as often as I can, Duluth, Cuyuna, and welch village where super fun and I keep finding more. Can't wait to see what you shred in the Minnesota and north/South Dakota area

[@chikatikah3838]

Fuck. Ohio be bringin’ the Ruckus!

[@charliehornbeck4595]

I'm guessing you've already gone through Wisconsin, but if you time it right you should check out Little Switzerland Bike Park outside of Milwaukee. That place is awesome! Another place would be Quarry Ridge in Madison. Also, Horn's Hill looks awesome.

[@benscraftymusings]

Really enjoying this channel man! I'm from the UK, and have not ventured out of it mountain biking, but experiencing Wales, the Peak/Lake District, Yorkshire, Cornwall... this has been great fun for me... so seeing you bike around the world, and now in the 50 states, is great to watch! What an excellent sport - beautiful surroundings plus the thrill of the ride! Nice work.

[@jamisonr]

That's wild that there are trails up there. I was born in Newark and some of my earliest pictures of me were taken up at Horns hill in the 1970s. I live about an hour away from those trails now, but I have to get over there and check them out.

[@brucemacneil]

Would be nice if you would maintain a list of the hard trails - then - after each ride - assign a place to that trail. For example - Florida is gnarlier than Idaho etc.

[@onesidedadventures9998]

"Oh no, this is over way too fast!" -She

[@rustyshackleford9498]

So many times brian quoted she in this video. "It's so big."

[@H3avyHaul3r]

a lot of the mtnbiking myth is that you need several thousand feet of elevation to have legit trails...especially a black trails! ride a blue fast enough and it will become a black trail you won’t want to stack on....

[@NZWozza]

I get up and I start my day... What kind of witchcraft is that? A pact with the devil? (I honestly can't understand morning people)

[@77rockcity]

Just got back from Snowshoe, WV. Man, there are some ripping fun dh runs and, some black diamonds that are mind boggling. Dreamweaver being my favorite and skyline being 3 miles of dh goodness

[@adamarmstrong200]

I was hoping you would ride horns hill! This place looks gnarly I’m only a few hours from there! Hoping you go to brown county Indiana next!!

[@sholjas13]

Look like excellent rides. A few scary views beside the jumps, tho you handled them good. Cool vids 👄

[@neadventures3293]

Hey Brian, how would you compare it to Diamond Hill? Granted you didn’t ride everything at Diamond Hill

[@leonardmoore7916]

Whats your plan for riding Alaska and Hawaii? Gonna be able to squeeze in a couple plane flights this year?

[@fms-envy7605]

When are you gonna do North Dakota if you do do North Dakota they don’t have much but they have one called Iwen in Fargo, North Dakota

[@Happy_Biker]

What app are you using at 1:24? (Doesn't look like Trailforks, or at least on Android...)

[@Admiral_Deejay]

i dont have a bike but i love seeing other people have riding thier bikes and like this videos i am so amaze of the content of this video love it watching from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🙏

I am so glad you went to horns hill this place is the best! For Ohio that is. Max your so lucky you got to ride with Brian!

Great ride B ! good job keep it pushing man ... KZbin turned off notifications somehow.

[@justinsaiyan5587]

Always look forward to your videos man. Something very relaxing for me to watch. Keep shredding

[@str1kez367]

Am i the only one, that feels like im learning to be a better rider, and better at line choosing, after watching BKXC?

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Looks great. Will have to stop there next time on the way to Snowshoe!

[@trailmonster]

This is not too far away from my hometown growing up, when I get back home to Ohio I am definitely checking it out.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

I've never ridden anything in Ohio except Ray's, which I don't really consider a trail.

[@chadmccormack6248]

Are you going to do California in three segments? SoCal/Central Cal/ NorCal??

You should ride Farmdale Reservoir when you come to Illinois it’s a blast!

[@rideagainst1084]

you should have stopped in Athens as well, strouds run has some of my favorite trails.

Did you get to have any buckeyes while you were there? They're awesome!

[@pjoshea6171]

When are you doing Minnesota

[@Theallterraindude]

MY HOME TOWN TRAILS! I used to be a XC rider only, but ever since I started riding downhill at horns hill I’ve been addicted to learning to ride downhill and how to jumps. I literally live a couple minutes away from horns Hill and I am so happy To see how it has changed and trail additions that have been made and it still Has more trails being added! It has made me into a better rider and I can actually say that I can shred a trail lol. Horns Hill has motivated me to actually buy a new All Mountain bike after this Christmas, So far I’ve ridden horns Hill on a 100 mm trail bike., so it gets a little rough LOL. I was actually surprised at how well you handle the trail, its very sketchy but it is very fun! Thanks for getting the word out about horns Hill, it is incredible what they have done and I have never had so much fun on a trail before!

[@Friskee62]

I'm with ya, Brian...have been for quite some time.

[@Stoic511]

Great video! I'm relatively new to this level of mtb riding. Do you have any tips for beginners, what type of trails to try? Also noticed that you don't wear much protective gear (knee or elbow pads)?

[@mtbikestuff4264]

Definitely start off on some green flow trails.

[@asherwestcott4005]

Did you hit any jumps?

[@WALSRU]

There are a ton of decent trails in Ohio but Horns is really becoming something special... And it's only 20 minutes from my house. Great video 👌

[@Blake_Cherubini]

Horns Hill is still growing! Trails still being built! Ohio mountain bikers are what's making it such a special place!

[@charleysweet]

I like you adding the local 3rd person shots.
