[@TrailPeek]

Yea dude! This looks sick!

[@BCpov]

It was an awesome trip :D

[@suddenumbra117]

Yup thats it. Japan is OFFICIALLY on the bucket list thanks for the great footage!

[@BCpov]

Should be on very bodys bucket list!

[@deisen123]

So beautiful. And the trails look almost like a luge track, so smooth with huge berms.

[@BCpov]

Yeah, they call them halfpipe trails.. and japan has a ton of them!

[@gillesbalin2222]

My god japan looks awesome

[@BCpov]

It is!

[@cogfather34]

Ripping the snowy trail looked like a lot of fun!

[@BCpov]

Love that snow!

[@woodsmccloud]

Wow. As if I needed yet another reason to go back to Japan! Can't wait for this series to kick off! I spent Xmas 2017 in Tokyo, Nagano and Kyoto and It is without doubt the craziest, most amazing, beautiful, weirdest and inspiring place I think I will ever visit. For anyone who's ever been curious about Japan I urge you to start planning an adventure there. You will not be disapointed!

[@BCpov]

Japan is my favourite place to travel. so much fun over there!

[@JordanBoostmaster]

that looks super cool! I'd love to go there someday

[@BCpov]

I feel like we'll go back sometime for sure, come along!

[@epicon6]

I’m moving to Japan in 2 years and it’s great to know there’s great places to ride and great people to ride with!

[@unknownguy805]

The snow was epic my dude!

[@BCpov]

I was so stoked for the snow!

[@antiherobc]

Woah dude, you are motoring down there, can't wait to see the series buddy, looks so nice in Japan.

[@BCpov]

I'm so stoked for it too! Now.. if i can get the next episode to render without crashing..

[@JGeddes2]

I’ve been to Japan and it’s magical, I didn’t go mountain biking since I just started a few months ago and I went to Japan 4 years ago, I was surprised about how peaceful Japan is. I’ll post some videos once the snow melts and I can ride again, I love the content

[@milanulrich]

Some how I was waiting the Ninja behind every tree. Those are small differences in the Japanese nature, that make it so unique. Can't wait to see it all. Good for you!

[@alcopower5710]

Looks amazing.....can't wait to see more of the snow covered trail

[@BCpov]

That trail was the best!

[@rantingwrench]

I’m so stoked to see this. I lived in Kyoto for almost 3 years and that’s where I fell in love with cycling. I only got into MTB after I left though, and I’m itching to go back and take my trail bike. This should be awesome.

[@BCpov]

+James Ashworth definitely go back, especially if you speak Japanese!

[@rantingwrench]

Maybe we should get a few KZbin MTBers over there together. I'm sure BKXC would love it. I'm happy to translate to the best of my limited ability. ;)

[@BCpov]

I actually invited him on this trip, but I guess we didn't have enough of a plan for him :)

[@mtnmikebikes7893]

Amazing! Never thought of Japan like this or seen it from this perspective, but I love it! Can't wait to see more.

[@BCpov]

+MTN Mike Bikes next vid out on Friday!

[@mtnmikebikes7893]

Sweet! Looking forward to it dude!

[@dank3823]

Such a different looking landscape. Pretty awesome looking trails. 👍

[@BCpov]

Everything is different, but awesome there!

[@ToABetterTomorrow]

Awesome video. I love Japan but never thought to mountain bike it there. To do list updated.

[@joeroberto1901]

Finally! I have been waiting for these videos for months.

[@BCpov]

It's all its going to be for a few months.. with maybe a few exceptions.

[@SanialDropB]

What a preview that was. So excited.

[@BCpov]

Glad you liked it Sanial!

[@briantustison9478]

I am super stoked for this! I lived in Japan before I really got into MTB and I have been itching to go explore, and possibly do some building with the locals.

[@BCpov]

+Brian Tustison definitely go, it should be easy for you!

[@andrewrivera4029]

That’s crazy, Japan has awesome trails!

[@BCpov]

[@BCpov]

[@jrnbautista82]

[@danielthomson1882]

As if I didn’t want to go to Japan before...... now I know there’s great riding there?!?! Culture... Cars..... skiing..... MTB..... it’s going to be one expensive trip for me!

[@BCpov]

[@TrailBikeBebop]

Thats great! ill be looking forward to the videos in japan!

[@BCpov]

[@PL-fh8cz]

Perfect... When you publish each vlog, could you put a note on what part of Japan you're in. I have only been to Tokyo so it would be interesting to see where you're riding. Thanks / Merci.

[@BCpov]

+Peter L yup, I'll actually have a map showing exactly where we travel!

[@BCpov]

Keep an eye out for this series, I'll show you exactly where we travel and include links. At the end I'll give tips on how to do this trip yourself!

Awesome, I will be looking forward to the videos.

[@chrismtb5193]

[@kaatinthehaat]

[@BCpov]

+GB Trails highly recommended!

[@skatiputnik2431]

Yeeeaaaaaaaah!!!!

[@BCpov]

Siiiiick!!

[@trentdavol71]

are you going to publish some information about where the trails are? Heading to Japan in June, would love to be able to do some riding!

[@BCpov]

I think most of the video have a link in the description for the spot in trailforks. There would be some websites in there as well.

[@278films]

Im getting so jealous right now!

[@BCpov]

Hah!

[@brianthehawaiian]

So stoked for the upcoming vids! Also, did you get rid of your Trek Slash?

[@BCpov]

Keep an eye out for upcoming vids to find out what happened to the slash

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

Awesome! Looks great! He's now Evil, is he following or wreckoning? He's definitely not slashing any more.

[@BCpov]

Wreck is good!

[@georgemartinez6625]

Looks great man. Can you please post your gopro settings.

[@BCpov]

+George Martinez check out jordan boostmasters video on go pro settings. I use his settings

[@jakir1953]

New bike? Nice trails in Japan

[@BCpov]

New bike, keep an eye out for the full story!

[@colourofsounduk]

Dude - i think I said this on Instagram a while back so forgive me if I did - but I think people would really appreciate a guide on how to go about a trip like this, specifically for MTB. I don't have patreon but I would sign up for an account just to get something like that! Looks awesome.

[@BCpov]

At the end of the series I'll do a vid on the best cheapest way to do an mtb trip to japan :)

[@colourofsounduk]

BCpov Cheers! Sounds epic!

[@jimmycone3717]

Awesome!!

[@BCpov]

Yaaaaa!

[@xKinseh]

The stoke thickens

[@BCpov]

The stoke is so thick over there

[@ridingflats]

Looks great, hope you enjoyed it. Bit OT but does any1 know the front mud guard he uses?

[@BCpov]

It's a zefal fender!

[@josephmerch7385]

Keen for the rest 💪

[@BCpov]

Keep an eye out! Patrons get early access!

[@intoyoursoul23]

that is love.

[@BCpov]

It's the best over there!

[@yoannb7017]

Thanks for sharing those video and great quality content. I'll move to kyoto Japan in the new year and have been wondering if I should take my mtb from canada with me. Watching your video get me excited to get there. I often ride around Fernie BC. Is there an equivalent of trailfork in Japan or what would be my best bet to find trails and people to ride with in the area I'll be? Regards, Yoann

[@aliikane]

Looks like an awesome way to visit Japan with bikes to get to riding spots easier. So how much did it cost to rent a van in Japan? For how long trekking in Japan?

[@BCpov]

We spent 2 months. We rented a small toyota pixis and if you rent it for a month I think it was about $1000 a month, which is pretty good!

[@ki882010]

I rode before , under M.T Fuji , FujiTen bike park !!

[@BCpov]

Fujiten was so good!

[@roik.6694]

Beautiful

[@BCpov]

The fall leaves are gorgeous!

[@MloVisual]

You're going so fast bro!

[@BCpov]

+MLO VISUAL everything is so fast there!

[@opentruthview1492]

What are you going to do on your way back, riding up this hill back????

[@BCpov]

i don't know!

[@durcell123]

good shit man

[@BCpov]

Thanks dura!

[@allenkvextreme]

what camera did you use for the intro?

[@BCpov]

+Allen KV Vidz a6500

[@rafaelgarcia2426]

Can u recommend some trails near sasebo? Thanx

[@spook6773]

i need some advice im thinking of buying a full sus bike soon im riding a cannondale trail 6 atm but i work in halfords and wondering weather the Voodoo Zobop the older green model would be a good buy i can get the voodoo zobop at a good price of 550 and its supposed to be 800 or do you recommend buying a second hand full sus?

[@rafaelgarcia2426]

I’m new to japan. Is there any trails near Sasebo Nagasaki you recommend

[@xtwosnakesx]

What spots were closest to Tokyo, that were also worth riding?

[@BCpov]

Fuji-ten bike park is probably the best that is somewhat close to tokyo. I think there are some other "secret" closer, but they could be tricky to find. Tokyo is a massive city, so not much in the way of forests nearby.

[@Smowling]

I was waiting for that series to come online! Looking dope af. What bike is it? How did it performed?

[@BCpov]

It's an Evil Wreckoning.. people in the 7000 sub video picked up on that reaaaaaly fast haha!

[@Smowling]

How was it in comparasement to trek? I'm stoked on yeti sb6c and probably will get one maybe even this year, altho I like to hear about other bikes too :D

[@amgoatee3700]

That was amazing dude! Are you riding in Fujimi too?

[@BCpov]

+Erfano Bhakti yes! Fujimi is actually in the patreon extended cut

[@amgoatee3700]

BCpov I’m planning to go there on July so would like to see what the trail like

[@todaymtbvideo7046]

nicevideo‼

[@BCpov]

ありがとうございました！

[@davidvonslingshot]

That’s your wife in front of you ????....... holy shredder!

[@BCpov]

Haha, that's not her. We met a lot of people on our trip that we rode with.

[@donchristie420]

Damn,at first I thought that was your wife getting air,tail whips!!

[@BCpov]

Haha, that's not her :) But the Japanese riders are rippers!

[@todaymtbvideo7046]

nice‼MTB❤❤

[@BCpov]

とても楽しいです！
