It's Slovak Whistler out here! Mountain Biking Malino Brdo

📺 Ad-free & extended cut videos on Patreon / bkxc
I was blown away with how much this place looked and felt like Whistler! The big berms, the hero dirt, Malino Brdo was a really fun bike park.

I love how honest and down-to-Earth your videos are done. You are so humble and real, in addition to view some good riding and local spots. Nice job!

[@antr7493]

just curious, what's a dishonest mountain biking video ?

[@fuori_piste]

@@antr7493 he states things like they are and doesn’t pretend to be the rider he’s not. Doesn’t do editing to make him look better. He’s honest about his skills as a rider.

[@MrRadiomir]

So happy you stopped by! Have too much fun in Slovakia!

Hello, from a long-term subscriber from Bulgaria. You'll be amazed by how many of those chairlift/gondola bike parks are scattered here in Europe. Some smaller, some bigger. Even in a small country like Bulgaria we have several :) Writing this, because I visited Whistler a couple of years ago after watching so many YT videos worshipping it, and indeed it was great, definitely one of the top bike parks in the world and the area around the Sea to Sky highway was maybe one of the most scenic places I've ever seen, but it's a bit funny how you North Americans compare everything to it. At the same time there are at least 5 bike parks in Europe that are the same level, however without the media hype and mostly uncovered in English-speaking YT videos, but according to me are better because are not so overcrowded and better priced and better maintained (no so many breaking bumps as in Whistler)

[@stanmustard7292]

Eastern Europe looks like an amazing place to visit. And not just for riding. Definitely on my bucket list.

[@shamewizard3187]

@@stanmustard7292 It is very cool and the nature is just amazing, definitely worth visiting

[@hddxFAILzz]

@kosio86 what parks do you recommend? Would love to do a roadtrip through eastern european bikeparks :D

[@marekj.]

Helo Brian, I´m so glad you visited our country. I wish you and your wife just all the best . Happy life and lot of good people around to guide you when you need to be guided:)

[@mmls2121]

Malino brdo is gnarly, those roots on the lower part of Blizzard have claimed me OTB on more than one occasion. Agree about the mini whistler analogy from a Brit in Slovakia.

[@PuffinPass]

15:45 That has to be one of the smoothest washouts I have ever seen. Sarah took it in stride and hopped right back on it like it ain't no thang.

[@KestrelYI]

That is some excellent park riding out there. Did not expect that! I suppose that means I should get out there and ride something new and find out for myself. Thanks for sharing, BKXC!

[@enduro_sztambuch]

I love this place! It gave me so much room to improve my riding. There are many cool and gnarly features on black and expert trails.

[@benscraftymusings]

You are boss, man! What you have done, with your millions of trails, has shown us amateurs - I've ridden a few places in the UK, that's about it, but I have loved it, and I was always excited by the prospect of mountain biking from a young age when my dad bought me my first Raleigh mountain bike, 15 gear I think! ie. riding a bike through the mountains... Just that prospect, of riding a bike wherever you feel like going, in the woods, that always excited me, and so to have done what you have done with a mountain bike is just absolutely mind-blowing, so Cheers!

[@okayatbikes1909]

20+ years ago I spent a week in the Czech Republic (what everyone called it then) the first week in July. It was hot, but lunch always started with a soup course. The soups were always SO GOOD!

[@suragencia]

The other day I tried to remember the first video of Sarah on the channel, I remember that it was on a visit to a company, but I never remember when it was, I think it was in the van and it was in your time as Magnun with the mustache. Greetings and excellent videos, as always a 10! 👏

[@TimoteonSK]

Welcome in Slovakia :) Nice video. I live in Ruzomberok. Malino Brdo is my daily rutine :D

[@mikejones420]

Got to be the best adventure series to date, there I said it.

[@jakubnovak2919]

I live in the city right under the bike park, you actually rode over my house when you rode from Vlkolinec village its so nice to see foreigners here admiring the nature and stuff especially when its in town where i live in

[@bkxc]

That's too cool!!

[@wirtzling]

Sick.....Thanks for sharing this. I have been living in SK for almost 10yrs and haven't been to this park yet. I live in the western hills where there is also excellent riding. Will need to get to this park.

[@Dunkgtr]

That's sick! I thought that that place looked familiar and now I see the bear video place.

[@Yankai45]

man i love this park

[@gregnowak2492]

Very cool! Great scenery!

[@Axr24have]

Nice. I like the reference to Whistler and ‘North Shore’ (I assume you mean Vancouver North shore). Yeah the rooty terrain and wood features look familiar. 😊

[@SW-Video]

Some of these trails could be named "Rocks and Roots". Good stuff!

[@Ynot_Ride]

Will ride it this weekend, hopefully in good weather 🍻

[@bkxc]

Nice!

[@johnblackham4443]

Go ride something new ?? Ha ha You’re making me live vicariously!! Excellent riding in challenging terrain ! Great looking soup !!!

[@BGWordneemig]

Sara How fast! AMAZING!

[@Kembull]

Looks sick man!

[@lagwall]

Brian, jumping is all in the hips. When you feel like your front tire is staying up in the air you have to drive your hips forward, or like loam ranger said stand-up to the jump, to get your back wheel up.

[@Bulldawzer]

I would assume after all these years and technical(including very dangerous) trails he's ridden - he knows that very well. Appeal of this channel is definitely the fact that there's a lot more of the casual riding that the average person can do as well.

[@FlashGaming_388]

Big fan bro

[@Friskee62]

NICE trails...I'd be stopping to take pics every 10'.

[@BGWordneemig]

17:00 You are much faster now than when they were riding in front of you!

[@MTBJACK40]

Malinô Brdo is a perfect bike park. I drive it on hardtails perfectly, because you saw Slovakia. Will there be a video from Martinske Hole?🤙🤙

[@huntstyle]

I still suck at jumping, too, and often do the same thing you were describing. Actually had a crash early this season where I landed in a manual (unintentionally), but kept going backwards and fell on my butt... not fun! Maybe we're just too old to learn new tricks!

[@martinlang3897]

Hi man you had "placka" it´s from a potato and fried filled with yeah kind of a mexican mix meat and vegetable :-). They maybe called it "panvička" ???

[@RyanShao-t9k]

cool trials🤩

[@ICE329]

Nice!

[@BGWordneemig]

Love it! :)

[@joywambua1956]

Wow i wish I could be like you one day.

[@OldFatSlow72]

The bear was just wanting to ride.

[@goldbrick2751]

Excellent video mate, what was the name of the natural hot springs bath. Can you share a name. Keep posting the videos man.

[@DennyBoss123]

Finnaly Slovakia! (I know that this is video from one year ago)

[@bkxc]

Haha all good!

[@gnarkillMTB]

Yeeew!

[@TrevynNewpher]

If you only had one or two days to ride Slovakia where would you spend your time? I am a former WC pro downhill and enduro racer so bike park days are definitely attractive. I would also need to rent a bike. Thanks in advance!

[@bkxc]

The "Turiec Trails" zone was the most fun for me. But it's also the most logistically tough. You'd need a guide and shuttles to make the most of it. Bike park is always just easier to show up and ride. instagram.com/turiec.trails/?hl=en

[@bleauup]

Hi Brian....new Ibis frame? I though you were no more sponsored by them?

[@bkxc]

Same frame, same bike! Just a top tube protector and different Trail One Components up front.

[@bleauup]

​@@bkxcThx mate...Trail one products are classy....seems to be the 35mm rise. Hope you’re next bike sponsor will be as great as Ibis

Sir BKXC Long from?

😮🎉

[@ajeetkanda8410]

Love the bike design kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

[@17even]

Which bike is that this go round? Doesn't look like the RIpmo

[@BGWordneemig]

You say Our language word at 5:30 "Szlovák"

[@HemantR.20930]

Second!!

[@rimuru_11]

what cameras are you using?

[@martyy4073]

What bike you riding here?

[@BGWordneemig]

14:00 This food is same one of that hungarian food!

[@pb_8206]

6:16 it is not tortilla 🤣.

[@TheDonkDonk420]

0:24 why was there a hard cut??

[@iclimbrocks100]

Whats with the bike? Thats not your new ripmo?

[@TheJoncic]

People just hanging out in the middle of a downhill trail...smh

[@ToddNZMTB]

100% agree with that! Shocking behaviour

I think what you ate is called Lokša (lok-shuh): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lok%C5%A1a
