It's quite ridiculous U.P. here in Copper Harbor | Mountain Biking Michigan's Upper Peninsula

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Props to the trail builders for sure! Those trails looked so sweet!

[@77rockcity]

Yes, and the do have full time paid trail employees.

[@weirdweaboo5292]

I have found a part of KZbin where people don’t insult each other and are kind thank you all

[@christopherchiaravalli1607]

That's midwestern youtube for you haha

[@austinlegault1660]

Finally the U.P trails are getting the credit they deserve. Gotta check out the trails in Marquette next!

[@RedWingsninetyone]

He was there the next day!

[@sambrent3572]

He needs to go there in the winter

[@brandenpalarz905]

Tech trails are solid too

[@Austin-xd2in]

Austin LeGault I always go to Marquette

[@markpeltier231]

Ya eh!

[@ryeguy0306]

Thanks for coming to Michigan! There is a mtb movement happening all around this state. I discover new trails everywhere I go!

[@drakedershem1516]

Woo finally a good size mtb youtube make it to the good ole yoop! Glad to see some one like you Brian Showcase what we have to offer!

[@MBdrummer3288]

“Commit or eat shit”, I absolutely love it!

[@reefermadnesss]

This definitely knocked the UP and Copper Harbor up to the top of my list.

[@77rockcity]

@5:33 You're ripping the Flow. Nice speed, much faster and more confident than I. 🤩 Nice work. You really captured Pure Michigan.

[@NINATV_]

I love these videos, laid back, not much talking, just riding on a nice trail and small talk. I know I’m a kid but I still loved this video!

[@autumnisip2971]

So glad you went to Copper Harbor! Im from Marquette and it’s awesome seeing you shred the trails in the U.P. Kind people, great beer and hero dirt for breakfast, lunch, and dinner🤘🏻

[@magellan1818]

Just got back from Copper Harbor. The trails are insane!!! Stayed at Trails End, as well! Great place to camp! Rock Solid Trail builders are the best!

[@TheRyguy79]

Stoked to see you riding in my home state! Even after I lived in Colorado for 10 years I still love the riding in the U.P. just as much.

[@CharleneMosherC]

I am also from MI. I live in NH now. Been here now 15 years. I know next time I go home to visit I will be bringing my Trek Fuel. 🤙

[@petercroce]

So stoked you hit Paul's Plunge-- that one is wild and chunky!

[@headoverbars8750]

As I get out on my first real trail bike in a decade this year to some really good destinations, (Hopefully they remain open!) I love that you have covered many of them so I can get my stoke up! Your videos are just so good, they and MTBing has changed my life, I owe you, Seth and the rest of the KZbin MTB creators a huge thank you for keeping the stoke-up through my saving for 6 months, riding a department store bike and making ot through the snow. Michigan, my home, will be the first trails I ride. I live by DTE Energy Foundation Trail. Awesome fun, but you sure earn it! How many of the northern Michigan destinations that you ride offer lift or Shuttles? Shuttles may stop running this spring:(... but let's hope for a healthy and safe spring and get past this.

[@fromxctoletssee]

wow dude what a diverse trail. just when u get use to one way it changes and give u tech. super cool. thanks for the adventure.

[@davidwise4442]

The Mariner North is an absolutely outstanding place to stay. great food too.

[@jonbruen785]

I think the best and most yooper quote from this video is "the focus is on having fun, not what everybody else is doing"

[@rocco.mbb.zoccoli]

Finally! Copper Harbor!!!! Yes!

[@ridingwiththereids]

Glad to see there are trails in Michigan. My whole family is from there, yet some how I ended up in Alaska. Next time I go and visit I'll be checking for trails...Thanks for another awesome video man!

[@nathanielvogler7335]

We have lots of trails here!

[@darrellbittner3734]

We are in Copper Harbor right now, the trails are awesome!!!

[@lowflyingdonut]

I went to school up there, adventure company was new, and they where just cutting the first trail before I left. rode it once, so many roots, so much bear scat, it was everywhere. I was alone, I sang to warn bears the whole time, didn't see any bears, until I got to the trailhead and hit pavement, and a bear ran right in front of me. it's so crazy what they have done that it is such a destination now. crap half my riding in college involved ignoring no tresspassing signs. times have changed.

[@bkxc]

Wow, thanks for sharing that! So cool to hear how far it's all come.

[@sudhan4010]

Kkkk

[@smeyers718]

Thanks for the killer video! Just heard about this place for the first time ever. Definitely heading up this summer!!

[@Valkaneer]

Wow, the first real video I have found on Copper Harbor, nice!

[@xxstarwolfxx1015]

I love all your vids BKXC! you are the one who made me discover my hidden talents. Thanks for inspiring me🤗😄

[@Monoman2345]

Thank you for repping Michigan! you just rode one of the greatest trails in america

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Copper harbor got to be the best trail in the northern mid west. Only about 13 hour drive from me. Planning to hit it up next summer. Glad you finally made it another one off your bucket list.

[@rejuniwa7848]

Brian we need you in Wisconsin ASAP! Nonstop rain for the past week and half 18 inches in a week and more to come. give us Bk the weather God

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, everything I touch turns to sun!

[@braaaaaaaaaaap]

Not up here where the trails are...We've had about 5.5 and nothing but sunshine for the next 10 days.

[@Edwardlewis18]

Wow, great to see you in my favorite state!

[@chefylad]

WHAT I love about your vids dude is you know your limits, and are not afraid to show pulling out of things or take different lines, to stay in your comfort zone Total Respect

[@bkxc]

Thanks man!

[@77rockcity]

I just got back, overfilled with copper goodness. Only to find this! I couldn't be happier having you experience Michigans upper peninsulas, upper peninsula. The Keweenaw, and its people are top tier.

[@dude5017]

I got to copper harbors r every year to ever other year and the trails are awesome especially the black diamonds also I’m 10

[@moreypc]

Awesome! I must have just missed you up there as I saw the BKXC sticker in Brickside our first night in town mid August. Great atmosphere, great riding, all in all a great place to hang out and ride.

[@bkxc]

Haha yes! Glad I tagged it!

[@goosedawgg]

Man, I enjoy watching you shred so much. Awesome stuff Brian.

[@qltyctrl]

The finest trail system in the midwest

[@77rockcity]

So well crafted and maintained. The community really pours everything into the trail system. YOOP! (906)

[@LakerStud33]

The Harbor is like home. Glad you came and enjoyed.

[@brando1937]

I put my own #runwhatyabrung sticker next to yours. Brickside is awesome! Too bad you didn't meet Regulus the dog when you were there. He has since passed but was a great bar dog

[@jeremymock9686]

I spent over twenty years living near Marquette, and there were no mountain biking trails in those days. Everyone back then was obsessed with preserving the environment UP there. I have been visiting Copper Harbor and biking there decades ago before any trails were built. I still prefer the trails that my 8,000 pound SUV fit on, and switch over to my mountain bike when the path gets too narrow. Consider skipping the man made paths and instead ride the paths to the end of High Rock Bay and Keystone Bay for the best views in the whole state of Michigan overlooking Lake Superior.

[@TommyHuynh]

That dirt looks amazing!

[@christophergrimes5319]

I'm not even a mountain biker and that looks magical.

[@caleb.9133]

My brother goes to mich tech and him and his friends go almost ever week during the summer

[@ChuckRusty]

Wow great stuff!! Some of those trails were pretty crazy!

[@royjaleco]

Was on BKXC marathon as I was so occupied with mentoring duties of late. Indeed, you have leveled up in your riding, Brian. Good job! As always, thanks for bringing us along.

[@bkxc]

Thanks Roy, always glad to see you in the comments!

[@BeginnerToWhistler]

Definitely a place that is on my summer plans for 2020. It's a bit of a drive for me, about 6 hours each way, but I'm sure it will be worth it!

[@jerzmontana7784]

Good stuff. Glad you showed one close to my Wisconsin

[@Johnroberts2013]

So sweet to see you go up there, I was just up there earlier this summer! I rode everything there on my hardtail hahaha.

[@stevethesmazsmathers9112]

"Commit or Eat Sh!t" Sounds like your next shirt! Pretty gnarly trails up there!

[@russellpoyner9362]

My wife and I love it up in Copper Harbor. On my bucket list is to actually go MTB on those trails. My wife isn't really capable of that kind of biking, which is why I haven't been biking there yet. When you went to Jamsen's Fish Market was for a snack of course, but I tell you what I think their coffee is amazing. No matter when I go to Copper Harbor, I have to stop in there and get a cup, because it is that good. Great video!

[@bkxc]

That's awesome! Definitely get out on the bike next time!

[@xNJD]

FINALLY!!! Now stop in Marquette, MI on your way home!

[@alyssaprice6336]

Yess! got to love the noquemanon Trails.

[@foolishevil]

Dude I really dig the vibe of your channel. I used to race... but that atmosphere got old. The stuff you have in your videos is exactly what gets me stoked on riding nowadays.

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@77rockcity]

OMG! Yes!! Just ended summer there for labor day after starting off with Ride the Keweenaw in May. Such a special place, and Hunters Point beach is as Jurassic as it gets

[@WilliamTruett]

Boo's ultimate brownie looked to be black diamond at least if not double black

[@bkxc]

Hahaha

[@WickNells]

We gotta do a ride in Pacifica! U probably have ridden out there but I haven’t seen a video of it. Short climbs with legit descents!

[@brando1937]

Love copper harbor. Brick side is the shit. And fort wilkins is decent camping just up the hill east of town

[@ericbeaudry8704]

Wow! what a summer of riding for you, Bryan. it never stop. hard to follow all your édits. seems like you progress and saw you jumped much more and farther... go infinity and beyond!

[@DaveLopez575]

Those trails are so fresh I can feel how plush they are from the sound alone.

[@mi-xc]

Whoohoo, welcome to MI. I haven’t been there yet and I live in the state!

[@ericstenglein4661]

Thanks for coming to the Midwest. We're aware it's not BC or the West, but we make due with what we have :) Cable, WI?

[@patrickshea96]

Worked for CAMBA this summer! Cable is sick, Mr Ashwabay is even better if you ask me!!

[@patrickshea96]

*Mt Ashwabay

[@randyh2111]

I was there this summer and did all the trails it was a amazing time

[@petet8594]

Those trails look sick 🤘🏻

[@jacobc3192]

Those trails are amazing!!

[@lawrenceporter3723]

Dang I miss living in Michigan. Such an awesome state

[@AntoineThisdale]

You know... every bike rider that also works in a bike shop -always- have freakish bikes. Non conventional, unbranded, fallingapartlookingbutnotreally... and they always ride like demons...

[@bkxc]

Hahaha yes!

[@GuyKesTV]

So true! We always used to say, less paint = better rider

[@rgmtb]

Those trails look so crazy smooth! Love it 👍

[@77rockcity]

Yes they are, very well maintained.

[@bacala0]

Just came back from there; it's amazing!

[@alfieritchie8446]

Brian the weather god🙌

[@jeremysweeten2792]

Living in SoCal, I occasionally get "tree envy." I love our trails and weather, but nothing beats riding through the deep woods.

[@damiansmith391]

Jeremy Sweeten noble canyon brotha..

[@bkxc]

Haha yep, I rode with one of my buddies in the Demo Forest of Santa Cruz and he had to stop to enjoy the trees.

[@WasabiWei]

This ride looked Endor Lush. This is one of the premier trail systems within range for me (Chequamegon for bikepacking, Copper Harbor for trail riding). I have never made the trip so this video was particularly engaging. I hail from Madison, WI. Quarry Ridge (the most technical MTB trail in Madison) has features on par with what I saw in this video but the length of trails, the sheer scale of Copper Harbor gets me dreaming. This seems like a natural transition, "Thanks IMBA and industry standards!" I always enjoy Brian's videos but this one will help me approach an attainable trip. Special thanks from the Midwest!

[@bradymoritz]

these look like the most fun trails I've ever seen

[@MrShocking68]

Those are some righteous trails.

[@SKIGAN14]

Glad you finally made it! You gotta check out Marquette next time!

[@Ay-duhn8]

Great video brian

[@kenny83081]

Awesome, love to see my state on your channel.

[@kclark8080]

So nice to see one of my favorite places (Brockway and Copper Harbor from a bike trail view....makes me want to try it...

[@austingriffith5580]

"Commit or eat shit" words to live by for sure

[@ratp5805]

Great Camera work. Not jumpy at all. Did not get me dizzy like i though it would. Keep up the good work.

[@ShadLife]

Facing the hill the right is all flow and the left is all rocky stuff. I prefer the trails on the right, although Stairway to Heaven is a lot of fun on the left! Glad you made it up our way! Hope you had fun. I broke my foot yesterday riding BMX at our local indoor park here in Minneapolis. So I will be watching a lot of KZbin over the next few weeks ....🙂

[@bkxc]

Ahhh man, get well soon Shad!

[@ShadLife]

Thanks!

[@77rockcity]

Flow connects to woopidity woo now via Raptor Ridge trail. That's a wheeee fun line.

[@MarquetteMTB]

One of my favorites places to be! Nice video, Brian!❤

[@diego_g2228]

Thanks Brian great trails super stoked to see it!

[@braullotolentino27]

Awesome trail Brian good job with the peek a boo side drop. Haha. Liked and Shared as always!

[@morbly]

I think it's so cool that you've had a thimbleberry! And maybe a little sad since I haven't been back up there since june.

He needed to have a Pastie too.

[@joet0006]

Think Chase was my shuttle driver weeks ago. Good stuff!

[@daniele9834]

I WAS JUST THERE. IT WAS AMAZING. you should totally come down to pinkney MI and ride there and in Dexter. Plenty of great trail to fill a day or two!

[@nabooska]

Daniel E Poto is a beast!

[@ReidMTB]

For me, DTE is much better than Poto.

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

I think it's wild how you can ride these trails blind that fast, Brian. Those yoopers have good trails, ya! Thanks for the video

[@bkxc]

I'm pretty amazed by the speed I can get on a trail as well, lots of information processing by the ole brain!

[@jbm48]

OH Yeah, been waiting for this video to come out. It was so cool getting to meet you up there.

[@bkxc]

It was a great day, dude! Glad you said hello

[@firebro1963]

Love the vid Brian! I also went mountain biking today and hit some gnarly jumps! Keep up the great work 😉

[@lukemilton8590]

Brian thanks for all of the great content you put out. Your an awesome rider. Huge fan of your channel. Keep up the great work and thanks again. Luke Milton,

[@PL-fh8cz]

Hi BKXC - A cheap & easy fix for creaking suspension, pedals, etc. is to use a few drops of White Lightening dry in between the creaking surfaces. It stays dry and doesn't get that nasty dust & lube paste. And an easy fix for a creaking body is more coffee... Love those nice smooth trails.

[@bkxc]

Yes! I just used it on a creaky pedal a couple days ago and it works like a charm!

[@docz313]

As a Californian who’s native to Michigan,...this makes me so jealous.

[@rosalindasarge1231]

I love your vids💖when i watch your vids i get excited.

[@dramacarbonara5586]

you are so blessed brian.. what u do everyday, i could only dreamed of for the rest of my life. i wish i get to do what you does.

[@bkxc]

No one is going to give it to you, you've gotta work hard and go out and take it.

[@grantfeddema5332]

What an awesome day of riding!! That drop was nasty dude

[@77rockcity]

Seeing it in real time makes you shake your head when you see bikers send it like nothing on KZbin

[@FloridaTrailrider]

Looks super fun Brian! I see you getting that air. Nice man!

[@nabooska]

Been loving the vids recently man - you rode through my current home of Sun Valley only to head over to ride some of the best trails in my home state. Keep it up

[@matt_heinen]

Woahhhh thought you were gonna get hit by that van shuttle in the beginning!

[@justindigby1320]

Nice riding country Bryan! I would have froze up on that drop also so don’t worry lol. Keep the videos coming brother! Excellent ride!

[@bkxc]

Thanks a ton dude!

[@zxtenn]

I was just watching another channel and they walked nearly the entire trail of Downtown When someone rides a bike like your buddy you know he superior has skills

[@bkxc]

Most definitely!! That trail was scary.

[@matt12239]

Since your in Michigan, come down and ride the Potowotami Trails.

[@timblackman6070]

Matt Gates DTE Foundation Trail System!

[@timblackman6070]

Matt Gates DTE Foundation Trail System

[@Johnroberts2013]

He isn’t in Michigan anymore, he’s actually currently on a mtb trip in Crested Butte, Colorado. Lmao. This video is actually from like a month ago

[@bkxc]

Some day!

[@brochachos1566]

finally my great grandma lives in eagle harbor and the trails are insane

[@jacksondean5593]

Nice Man! Getting better by the day!

[@jasoncyrbok8857]

"commit or eat shit" needs to be a BKXC sticker!

[@MTBScotland]

If the preload collar is just that wee bit loose then the spring can move. Going by your car there is probably a whole load of dust on the shock.

[@bkxc]

Yeah, every time I clean up that area the squeaks go away!
