Kicking off another epic road trip | Redemption CA Ep. 1

[@ShakeNShred]

Don't let the trolls get you down, Brian. I dodge most jumps, too. It's not my strong point, and I'm too damned old to think I can fly lol. You ride like a beast, air time or not.

[@xrider8623]

ShakeNShred same here

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Same here. I'm willing to shred almost anything but jumps and drops because I'm way too heavy for liftoff... or at least to trust the bike frame and suspension not to disintegrate on impact.

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!!

[@wasabisdaddy]

I was going to say that he has been taking more jumps than usual. Seems much more ready for them

[@broncohyatt]

100% AGREE!

[@scottnormand5858]

Don’t let the haters get under your skin. Your riding for the long haul and self preservation with a sprinkle of restraint is smart🙏🏼love what your doing Brian.

[@justinreynolds7944]

Its great to see u guys back together...u guys make some of the best videos solo but when you're together they r master pieces

[@jaredsview33]

Has anyone noticed the cut frames of the Rav4 through out the video?

[@rajaearee]

thats just toyota's subliminal messaging campaign ;)

[@Kent.]

Yes!

[@thecrom777]

Toyota sponsored video trying to get the RAV4 some new customers.

[@stuartpilling6190]

Probably just a glitch when Brian was editing the video.

[@grizcuz]

Thank god for that, thought I was losing my mind and hallucinating.

[@TheLoamRanger]

You guys got me stoked to ride bikes tomorrow! Looking forward to this series. 🥇🎉

[@bkxc]

Hell yeah! That's the goal every damn time!

[@erwinnacilo-an7297]

My dream bike🤔

[@neuk01642]

I'm a gradually spreading ex-sportive riding roady, who after a fairly big year for a chubby 40 something hasn't been on a bike properly in 3 years, this channel has TOTALLY reignited my interest in bikes... just amazing stuff, the INSANE descents, the extraordinary scenery. For the firs time in ages, I want to be outside riding... thank you

[@bkxc]

Hell yes dude!! Get out there and keep riding.

[@bullseye0112]

Brian your jumping and courage has grown massively. All the haters are not in your shoes

[@drsawmiller2]

Love to see you guys back together always learn lots from you guys be safe looking forward to the Rocking Redemption tour

[@robgrif7589]

Sweet to see Brian and Alex riding on my local trail system 🤘 Can't wait to see the rest of the the California tour!

[@RamonMartinez-jz9uv]

OC for sure, never get down there enough, looks like Laguna or the ones in north county

[@KDog2264]

It great to see the dynamic duo back together. Great video guys thanks

[@cristianmoreno2100]

For everyone who was wondering, they are riding in greer ranch, in socal, its in the riverside county, its open to the public for everyone, its also the home trail center for Aaron Gwin

[@MrJamesLuz]

“Undisclosed location” the locals know Brian. The locals know.

[@cadeschaeffer6267]

Is this in so cal??? or nor cal??? You don't have to tell me where just wanna know what side. lol

[@blainewinters8492]

This is so great!! My two fav channels riding together!!! Can't wait for more!!

[@AdventuresWithClair]

You two on a road trip is awesome. Love the colaboration when you guys ride together.

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Singletrack sampler putting California mtb scene on blast. Now they want to ride with him.

[@TwitchyNick]

Good times. Trail looks like a blast. A lot of chunky up and overs. So psyched for another collab. What a perfect way to roll into the season.

[@Trailz6of7]

Redemption trip. Looking forwards to this. I’m getting stoked for this spring . Keep em coming Brian........

[@peterschaer6311]

Redemption was my favorite series of videos from last year. I'm looking forward to what's next.

[@rekamniar]

The redemption series is my mtb reality show that I will binge watch

[@philgunn6803]

Great start to Redemption CA looking forward to seeing you two having fun together. Great riding Brian by the way!

[@jakemtb674]

Finally, another redemption to watch! Thanks and more power!!

[@ksanasinh]

Nice to see you guys starting out redemption CA from my playground trails. Safe rides and travels.

[@IntenseCycles1993]

Awesome video guys, you picked a great time to ride. All the local trail builders have been hard at work, thanks for keeping the location on the hush.

[@bkxc]

It was golden!!

[@dank3823]

No worries Alex, even Cali natives get stonewalled... like me. Shred every trail you guys find. 🤘

[@bryankrot2986]

So HAPPY to see you and Alex on my local trails. Keep hoping to bump into you but hasn't happened yet! Intense factory is in Temecula and from what I understand they have helped make a lot of those trails. I'd love to see you do a factory tour.

[@gregwebster8784]

Make sure you stop off in Los Osos to ride the new trail, and have a beer at Flanders Bike Shop.

[@nickamburgey1980]

Haters gonna hate! I know it's forked up. Love it when you guy's get together.

[@james9wood]

This is already starting out as an amazing trip. Cannot wait to see how this goes.

[@kez2252]

Oh, and I've seen tons of jump progression from you compared to few years ago BK. Keep living your best life and forget the haters 🤘

[@njatgu]

I was going to say the same thing. The jump progression is awesome to see.

[@JohnM-p5r]

I just started watching your videos they inspired me to start riding again so you got my lazy ass off the couch and on the trail so to hell with the negative people and there comments your showing of what we're missing out on and having a epic time while you do it keep it up man I love it .

[@bkxc]

Hell yes!!

[@mountaintime4276]

Said it way back when. Kindred spirits. Nice ride guys.

[@golfr59]

SO good to see you guys ride together. Awesome stuff.

[@ChronoCard]

It's so weird seeing Alex ride these trails for so long, and then seeing yo chase him! But I'm freakin' stoked you guys are out riding together again!

[@sandrarich5906]

Your stoke makes me smile every episode!

[@grantfeddema5332]

I’m always amazed at the time lag, can never get used to it (even though I make and post videos too). Thanks for posting

[@eddog6666]

Did you know there is an enduro World Series race close by Fresno California? It’s at China Peak Ski Resort in June. I think this year they might have to deal with leftover snow.

[@mrrims]

Always nice watching you two ride together! Great video and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@Eddiemorales408]

that’s crazy to see you guys shredding my local trails!

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

Stoked to see you two cool dudes back together 🤘🏽👍🏽Live-Life-Loud🤙🏽

[@markgosser9578]

Love watching both your videos before and after I ride in Delaware. Then I can see what I usually do wrong. Great videos, keep them coming.

[@bkxc]

Thanks Mark!

[@TommyHuynh]

Great video Brian. So dope to see you getting more comfortable in the air. That place is fun. Bummed our schedules didn't work for the ride 2 weeks ago, hope to get to ride with you guys when you come back down.

[@bkxc]

We will meet again, dude!!

[@tomkot5700]

I just wanna say that I hinge watched the whole redemtion 17 series. So excited for this!!

[@ClearViewSolutionsMS]

Gets to unexpected jump. *laughs nervously* Great video guys! Glad to see y’all back together.

[@abhishekghule6837]

Oh man ! That long hair guy got 4 mountain bikes he is so lucky .

[@philmtb121]

Just loving your clips. Especially when Alex and Seth are along for the ride- so cool that you are all buddies. I'm living in NZ- loving the riding here- mostly grade 3 single track is my realm as I'm 51 and a bit 'crunchy'. Really want to do a trip to the States/ Canada. If you had 2 months to ride, drink coffee/ beer, ride more----is there one or two top locations in your land of beauty that you would choose over any other?????? Gota emphasis- quaint little towns with great cafes would also be a big priority- ESPECIALLY if they've got a ton of trails not too far away........And not a fan of crowds on trails- OR bears!!!!

[@Gavthecan0905]

Jumping is fun, but comparison is the thief of joy. Ride your ride. I love getting air and couldn't do half the trails you do. Don't worry about the haters. We just missed you in Florida but glad you were showing us off.

[@steve_exclamationpoint]

Psyched you guys are doing another redemption series!

[@MBOA]

Super cool, guys! Looking forward to catching the series!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Hellava start to another epic Brain and Alaxander trip. Sometimes you got to let the bike ride you and just hold on for dear life nuggets. Nice riding!!!!

[@gavinstuart4163]

Amazing start to what looks to be a truly epic trip.... Can't wait to check this out...

[@razmtb5028]

this is going to be a fun and awesome ride!! Ride on!!

[@ShutUpandRideMTB]

New BKXC jumping skills, nice.

[@rostonnordell3218]

They are nice 👍

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@juanayala6557]

U guys r a great duo! I love the “redemption series” keep it coming. I sit in a office working all day and I’m old af, never the less I do enjoy your videos a lot! Please have healthy diners! And also make a video having dinner at “twin peaks”... haha! Peace!

[@bkxc]

Thanks man, glad you are digging these!

[@haydenhubbard4297]

I’m in Weaverville that’s in between Redding and Eureka. Each of our communities have an awesome and different riding scene. Redding has a couple awesome flow-trails that are what you’d expect to see at a bike park.

[@bkxc]

I thought it all burned down?

[@steven12012]

What an amazing channel, thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@th_js]

Love Redemption CA! And your all other videos too Brian!

[@HallMarc_Trails]

All these great trails and exotic places yet some of the best stuff is right on your doorstep, cracking vid :)

[@whiplash231]

Im late the the party but it's soo good to have you guys back together!!

[@andrewgonzalez3290]

Dude!! I was just rewatching the 17 tour yesterday, stoked to have some new ones to watch!

[@TheHeyoo]

those trails are sick! One of my favorite new videos Brian!

[@manvsmountain7117]

Wait, people are making negative comments about your jumping? I was coming here to comment on how much improvement you've made with your jumps and confidence. Keep up the good work!

[@kylemarmesh7536]

Green grass and dirt! Looks real good. Ready for winter to quit. It's gonna be a late and short riding season in Tahoe this year.

[@bkxc]

Hopefully it just means more hero dirt!!

[@marldayniellesilvestre3372]

How i missed watchin collabs between my 2 fav mtb youtubers❤

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

The people making fun of your jumping are the same ones that die on the climbs and XC trails.

[@aaronsill6993]

I just rode there on Sunday. It's always a great place to ride.

[@tmtb9806]

Sick edit dude, seeing you two dudes shredding the trails gives me inspiration to keep editing and hitting them trails - can’t wait to keep up to date on this journey. Keep up the good work 🤘

[@tobymillard6289]

Can believe it's been 3 years, times Flys and I'm not even old yet :(

[@staytunedautogarage]

So awesome meeting you guys out there ! Thanks for not saying the location 🤙🏽

[@koho]

This just makes me happy. And I live in CA so looking for some inspiration to try some new trails!

[@ryanl.4296]

Yes! Super stoked! Redemption 17 was such a iconic set of videos for the MTB KZbin scene. Everyone knows about it. P.S. Love the logo!

[@radoelias]

Dude, at the beginning I was gonna say your jumping improved a lot, you were killing it! and then you start talking about how insecure you are... Man, majority of these people can't ride like you do. Keep up the awesome content coming

[@bkxc]

Thanks buddy!

[@whatahday1145]

Another epic ride. You guys both have great channels.

[@rostonnordell3218]

Agreed

[@GravityEscapades]

Those trails looked seriously fun! And Alex seems to have progressed alot since the last time I saw him ride.

[@Esteb858]

Great riding at “the spot” Brian! There will always be trolls on the web so just brush it off! They are just mad cause you created this amazing life for yourself! That’s one of my favorite trail system under an hour from San Diego🤙🏼

[@bkxc]

Thanks Steven, I appreciate the positive vibes for sure!

[@RGCastro7]

Super enjoyable video, Brian and Alex. I'm mega stoked to see a new Redemption series, and I'm looking forward to the uploads. Keep up the great work, guys!

[@bkxc]

Thanks a ton Renzo!

[@letsgoridebikes]

This is gonna be awesome! Looking forward to some shenanigans!

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude, it's no Rock Oven but it'll do!

[@letsgoridebikes]

Rock Oven is under a couple feet of snow so I’d say you are doing alright!

[@scottaw]

Biking, beer, and ball busting....makes for a great KZbin video!

[@bkxc]

Haha thanks Scott

[@CooperSellers]

So a redemption from riding in a tiny car! :) Grip it and rip it!

[@bkxc]

Hahaha yep!

[@010MACS]

That thumbnail is sick! Looking forward to watching this after work 💪

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!!

[@demoniojoe1907]

YAY for the Redemption series!!! I ride the Sycamore Canyon trails..I believe you rode a few of them with Worldwide Cyclery in one of your episodes. Hope you and Alex make a stop there...and maybe I'll see ya out on the trails. HAVE FUN!!!

[@andyford8059]

Frick the haters dude. Avoid negativity and let the positive thinking take over. Not everyone can be a baller rider, but not everyone can be a cool genuine dude such as yourself BK!!

[@jeffcuevas5918]

Brian, no worries, no jumps, you do you my friend. And you're AWESOME! And to the haters..... I WILL FORK YOU UP!

[@slapthatplank]

15:04 "He's calling out the tough parts" aka "screaming in terror at all the chunk"

[@Steven-rb7ph]

Awesome jumping dude! You have improved at it so much in the past year!

[@cragerl424]

Great content... almost feels like I'm along with you guys!

[@danielpodesta405]

Oh yeah cant wait to watch more ... 2 of my 3 fav mtb channels ... hope seth joins in later

[@bkxc]

Thanks Daniel!!

[@vtm914]

Damn I just noticed you’re at 243k. I remember when you flipped over to 100k! Ride your ride!

[@johnmartinez6155]

You guys need to use (Mike Jones - Back Then) for your back ground music on this tour for Alex. LOL Can't wait for the rest our your vids!

[@fredericsimard278]

Cool seeing you jumping man! Keep it up!!

[@allenkvextreme]

9:52 theres a picture of an open hatchback car in a split second frame

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Road trips are the best.

[@sandykavor8434]

Always keep your derailleur on the smallest cog when not using bike. You'll prevent the spring from excess wear.

[@TheMetalMasher1]

was watching this video and thought that this is where i ride my bike, but wasnt sure...then saw some scenes on the trail and was more sure, then looked up the address on that chick fil a, and im 100% sure. Those trails are not illegal to ride on, they are not private property unless you ride really far back, i ride there every week. im not sure why you wouldnt disclose this location its a great spot and more people should know that it exists. ive been told by the cops that it is ok to ride here. but i wont disclose do to respect to you i guess. cheers!

[@Kampy_]

mind sharing? I know it's somewhere near Temecula, but where exactly?

[@TheMetalMasher1]

@@Kampy_ if you know the area even a tiny bit then this will help. You can see it from the 215 freeway. The only thing is, unless you are with someone or ask to follow you wont find the trail heads as there is no signs until you get there. Good luck

[@bikingwithemily1109]

Redemption 2019. So happy I'm back so I can watch all the episodes 😃😃

[@bkxc]

Awesome!

@@bkxc Arizona was my redemption trip but biking up MT lemmon didn't go very well (I just 7 miles up the climb and couldn't go on) so I have MT lemmon round 2 in the works, this time its personal🤣🤣

[@Jason__D]

5:30 dude the last time you rode with Alex you took out a cushcore in Sedona, lol! Also the cut frames of the Rav4 means Brian is definitely upgrading to van life.

lol cool vid bro. can hear some nervous laughter when u hit some of those blind tech sections. Dude hate cause u dont send 300000 foot jumps is stupid. do what u want and when u want. end of the day you are riding with a smile on your face. thats all that matters end of day. thanks for the adventure!!

[@bkxc]

Thanks my man!!

[@timstone8493]

Living Free and Getting Stoked. Love it!! Not sure where you're headed with Alex in CA Brian, I know you're based in Valejo. If you wanna try an epic loop up Mt Tam, out to the ocean and back around I'd be happy to show you guys. There is even a British Pub in the middle of the ride for some refreshments : )

[@bkxc]

Email me if you have a date/time/place and we might be able to make it happen!

[@clarity2see]

Downieville classic would be something worth showing Alex but there's snow at the moment
