LET'S ALL MOVE TO FLOWTOWN | Mountain Biking Falls Creek, Australia

[@kobyvb22]

I live in Albury, wodonga and I’ve hiked falls creek 3 times cause I’m in scouts

[@peterwjacko]

"What's aussie for not much?" hahaha good stuff man! Makes me want to get down to vic from qld next summer!

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, do it dude!

[@cactusrider7686]

That alpine meadow at the top was perfect for xc! I appreciate that your channel has different environments that the average rider doesn't get to see. props

[@bkxc]

Thanks Andres, I appreciate it!

[@barstoonarrow6580]

0:59 That hurts my soul.

[@cameroncotter4530]

So much hurt

[@bkxc]

Yep, shit happens and then you move on!

[@404nobrakes]

Yikes. Replaced an RSC with an R :/

[@BGWordneemig]

I still love this video. I watch your videos from the very beginning! I've changed a lot since then thanks to you! and I say this many times! It became my own channel, true not only mtb, but thanks to you I can be myself and no one laughs out! Thank you!

[@Nick-vn4lv]

5:45 I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, nice save!

[@bkxc]

That was some serious shit! Hahahaha

[@ilikerealflight]

I thought you just destroyed your shin there. It hurt to watch

[@arjunasandoval1018]

Awesome video. Your high spirit is very motivating! The comments, the laughing, and high fives/fist bumping make your videos fun! Keep it up!

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!!

[@ReluctantRider]

That was seriously awesome! One of my favourites I reckon! Feels like I say that every video.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha thanks man! That's how I know I'm riding some great stuff.

[@kareymaurice3236]

Love the super long descents and berms. These are amazing locations we get to see thanks to you & your Sponsors.Big Ups!

[@bkxc]

Yeah, this was an awesome ride!@

[@dank3823]

Aussie has some sick trails. Glad you bring us the vids. Nice speed 🤘

[@bkxc]

Thanks Dan, so glad I got over there!

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

Hitting all the right trails it seems like. I have liked everyone, good shots, people and of course places!!! Keep it rocking!! Live-Life-Loud!!!

[@bkxc]

Yeah dude, Carl put together three really solid rides. Couldn't have been happier with the trails.

[@davidmithen9223]

I'm really enjoying your Aussie vids and it's inspired me to get down to Vic next summer. I hope you kept your old worn down bar, that is a cool story to tell. Nice work.

[@bkxc]

Awesome man, you'll love it! Yep, I've got the old bar to be displayed.

[@jamesebeling6871]

I went up there today to rocky Valley dam

[@BryantJBole]

Congrats on 46,000 subs man! Love your vids!

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!!

[@garydecker3281]

Looked fun!! That rocky section after the picture look awesome!!!

[@bkxc]

It was! Thanks Gary

[@MrDeanLearner]

Man, you must be so relieved that it was just your handle bar that was damaged...could have been so much worse

[@bkxc]

100%! Handlebar grips and brake were easy!

[@MrDeanLearner]

Great video though!

[@blueage1560]

Flowtown is a magical trail, just rewatching this video reminds me of floating down that bottom section. I'm booked in for November and I cannot wait!

[@bkxc]

Man I really enjoyed that day!

[@Sam_NotUrAvgTradie]

I grew up in a town local to Falls and I gotta say I'm super impressed. I will have to go back and ride it one day for sure!

[@MTBdropIN]

Man something about those trails that just looks unique, man so many amazing trails this is one I would really love to ride!!! Great fun!!!

[@bkxc]

The trees, the bush, the views! It was so cool to see it all!

[@TheSoldkall]

Totally agree! it just gets better....what a flow!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Soldy! Fun fun fun

[@mikedesen7053]

Real nice to hear the mechanical sounds of your bike. Keep up the great work!

[@bkxc]

Thanks, I love the sound too!

[@JasonD19736]

Thanks for coming down to visit our trails. It was great to see you ride trails that I actually have a chance of riding myself. Hope you come back!

[@bkxc]

So much fun, I'll be back!

[@Alsclips2013]

Cool video! So glad you had a great experience here! Thanks heaps for sharing! Cheers!

[@rgmtb]

What an amazing trip!

[@bkxc]

It was so much fun! You never know what you're gonna get and Australia delivered the goods.

[@BockaufBiken]

Omg, im glad your sweet Bronson survived! What a great trip! Have fun and shred on!

[@bkxc]

Hahaha, only battered, not beaten!

[@Johnny_Zampa]

Looks awesome man. That's it I'm fixing up my bike and getting ready for the summer. Badass!

[@bkxc]

Hahah do it!!

[@twirl4968]

Watching this was brilliant. I grew up not far from Queenstown in New Zealand where we rode our bikes (we had BMX's) through the mountains and forests. Long before Mountain biking was a thing. I hike and climb and have done for many years. In-fact I often hike the mountain bike tracks around Australia where we now live. But I never got on a bike since being that kid. After watching a few of these videos, I am going to buy some bikes for our family. Your videos have just influenced me hugely. It is going to be quite the investment. But I wanted to say thanks, and keep these videos coming.

[@bkxc]

That's awesome to hear!!

[@robkay1975]

Great video. Just outstanding. You are clearly having a great time, makes me want to get out on the trails.

[@bkxc]

Thanks man! That's how I know I'm doing my job!

[@Eagerrr08]

Man, amazing video, thanks, beautiful landscapes, nice ride

[@bkxc]

Glad you enjoyed it dude

[@Mr_RichardH]

Incredible trail. So rideable and fun.

[@bkxc]

It's a damn good one!

[@RonnRider]

So glad you made it down to Oz! You need to come back and check it out again. It's even better now!!!

[@connorstone447]

Looks great!

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@Cam-8692]

Hey little bitch

[@Monza_Filmz]

2:09 the amount of times I’ve skied through there

[@eddarell9474]

Nice ridding Brian! Flow town was awesome!

[@bkxc]

Such a great trail!

[@deanarndell4609]

Defo those Guide brakes are toast in the Ausie heat 🚲⚡...Great vid, cheers 🤙🌴

[@theoneuafter]

aww man that damage made me shed a tear. lol glad its back up and running!

[@VladGMuriii]

No one deserves something like that.

[@bkxc]

Haha yeah, onward and upward!

[@trailjunkie7302]

At least it wasn't your frame! Bars were pretty much a best case scenario there!!! Now that would have been a sad day.

[@OPPIDUM666]

Wow , amazing Ride , pumptrack and nice singletrack . so ... keep going ...

[@bkxc]

I will Ricardo!!

[@eolle43]

I second Phil on heat and guide brakes! Last summer in the SE US I had three different sets. They all did the same. As you were using the brakes the leveruould start to return a little slowly at first and then almost stick. All sets were new and fresh bleeds were done to try to correct the issue. Not confidence inspiring. But I was told they resourced the seals and SRAM may have solved the problem. I use another company's brakes.

[@bkxc]

Brutal! Once mine start to act up I'll switch out.

[@tntneonmtbiking7648]

Great ride brother. some of that trail was sketchy to me but the good Lord got you through it . Sorry about your bike glad they you was able to get it fixed.. Be blessed

[@bkxc]

Somebody's looking out for me! Thanks for the positivity!

[@RedWingsninetyone]

Let's start a pool of how many videos come out before we see the FatPaw handlebar grips on again.

[@bkxc]

Haha love it

[@kelvinmulder]

RedWings-44 3

[@NDemanuele1]

Wow, AussieLand looks very fun!!!

[@ATBRides]

Holy Moly.... Such nice trails!

[@bkxc]

Thanks, it was a good one!

[@samhilton1562]

Dude those trails look sweet! Can't ride at the moment due to shoulder injury, so your videos are the closest I can get!

[@bkxc]

Ah, sorry to hear. Hope these rides help a little!

[@samhilton1562]

BKXC making me more and more excited to get back on the bike! cheers Brian!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

awesome, that looked like fun!

[@bkxc]

It was a riot!

[@deslomator]

So much fun, thank you

[@bkxc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lancecomstock4824]

Another amazing video, great way to start my day! Thank you!

[@bkxc]

Awesome, thanks Lance!

[@bradleytrew4832]

That looks sooooooo much fun

[@bkxc]

Such a great day!

[@joshuamaffly9649]

I have had 3 Guide brakes that lock up in the sun above about 85 degrees. They know of the problem at SRAM and will send replacements. Problem is supposed to be fixed in the newer ones. Guide Ultimates that they sent work great. If they do lock up, go into the shade and squirt water on the lever reservoirs fluid area and they should slowly release. The diameter of the plastic pistons inside was a bit too big in the early ones and when they expanded in the heat they got stuck. Great riding BTW.

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!

[@bigkiv47]

Yep...had a set of Guides RS and they were great brakes...until the heat set in... left the bike on the car bike rack for a couple of hours...in the sun...and had only no movement in the levers when I went to ride that afternoon... was a very common problem here in Australias summer... so now have a set of Shimano Zees...went throught the whole summer without any problems...shimano brakes for the win

[@bkxc]

Man, that's a damn good point about just being out in the sun! No airflow and hot hot heat. Thanks for the recc!

[@coreymclernon]

OMG!! You got lucky!! With your bike AND when that rock grabbed your bars! Good thing you had shorter bars!!

[@bkxc]

Haha, it was quite bad. Thought I broke my pinky.

[@Captcatfist]

That's awesome. Thanks for this.

[@bkxc]

Glad you dug it!

[@MrHockaluger]

Almost had the same thing happen to me right on the maiden voyage on my SB6. Didn't properly secure the front arm over the front tire. When we were close to the trail, my buddy behind me started honking like hell. I looked at my rea view mirror and my bike was gone!! Thankfully the rear tire was strapped in secure enough that that front of the bike that had slid off the rack didnt touch the road.

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha, holy moly!

[@tomosypian]

Sweet flow action!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Tom!

[@chrisgarland9381]

I've been loving the videos from this trip so far. I got my riding blind shirt on Saturday. Get another design out man I need more shirts! Lol. I'm sure that's not a problem.

[@bkxc]

Awesome!! Thanks so much for the support dude. Hahaha, not a problem indeed!

[@chrisgarland9381]

Glad I can help in some way

[@rigorhead01]

Dude so sorry about your handlebar/brake that sucks. However I'm so happy that those were the only things that got damaged. It could have been so much worse! I have a Enve carbon bar and it would be such a major bummer if it got destroyed! Glad you were able to continue your trip!

[@bkxc]

Exactly! No big deal to replace what we got replaced. Thanks Hollis!

[@zachbourchier4290]

I was up there this weekend!!!

[@bkxc]

Awesome!

[@SGMTB]

You've gotten a lot better on berms and faster generally!

[@bkxc]

Always trying to get better! Thanks dude

[@dallasallmon3885]

Here in Texas we had Hell with the Guide brakes last summer. The calipers would just lock the pads onto the rotors.

[@bkxc]

Man! Sounds like I've gotta be careful.

[@TrailPeek]

It looked like you were dropping some of the locals! Haha good stuff Brian!

[@bkxc]

Haha only the first couple runs, they got my ass on the last one!

[@VictorMaza]

Nice trail !!

[@bkxc]

Thanks!

[@camodudemtbh7594]

Badd ass trail Brian, nice one mate.

[@youetznab]

That is an awesome trail!

[@bkxc]

Quite amazing!

[@jobbieking2644]

Living the dream So sick trail I need to go there

[@bkxc]

Do it! Such a great ride.

[@gekkardboy]

We live in Phoenix. Had to dump the Sram Guide brakes on the wife's Juliana. Crappy brakes in the heat. She took a bad spill when they malfunctioned. Since replaced.

[@bkxc]

Ugh that's awful!

[@endurofordaboys1768]

that ride looked awesome

[@bkxc]

'Twas an adventure Troy!

[@adlar2005]

Amazing!!!! Great adventure!

[@bkxc]

Thanks Jaime!

[@siddheshrane8579]

your new handle (santa cruz) is really workout! and love your videos make more................

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@siddheshrane8579]

welcome buddy and can you pleases checkout this! instagram.com/thunder_ryderz_xv/ [ it's my account ]

[@dhananjaybhardwaj7639]

Hi Brian, get some Shimano or Hope brakes, they are so rad!

[@bkxc]

Alright, I'll look into it!

[@dylanporter2550]

+BKXC I got shimano disk breaks they're awesome in cold wet weather aswell as warm

[@roik.6694]

nice edit, positive attitude and beautiful trail

[@bkxc]

Thanks Roee!

[@alexthemtbr]

I agree with the guy from the bike shop, unfortunately dealing with guide brake failures at my shop is a daily occurrence :/ Sweet Ride Brian!

[@bkxc]

Brutal! What's the best brake out there?

[@alexthemtbr]

Shimano XT, Shimano Saint, Any Hope Brake

[@bkxc]

Sweet, thanks dude!

[@Rustyshackford]

Good stuff!! Enjoyed it bud

[@bkxc]

Thanks Robert!

[@1pho3nixmatt]

You would think watching vid after vid of your first-person shooting would get boring or something, but..it just doesn't. Another nice one!

[@bkxc]

Thanks man! I try really hard to keep it exciting.

[@bigwill4978]

Awesome video footage!

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@DadDoingStuff]

Trail looked fun as hell!! Kinda like the red grips.....give that bike some color!

[@bkxc]

Haha, one more mismatched color to go on the ole Frankenbike!!

[@codyconway8101]

Race The rocky trail superflow this weekend at Thredbo!

[@bkxc]

Ah, gonna miss it!

[@jesser8369]

As a man who lives 40 mins from Santa Cruz on a good day, I was elated to see an SC frame all the way in the land down under. Great video man, picking up an older Intense 6.6 on Wednesday (all modern parts and custom tuning from Fox) so stoked to devirginize the Kashima coat >:)

[@bkxc]

Haha yeah man, glad to be repping it there! Nice dude, have fun!

[@jackfairclough9269]

Every bike shop I've been to in Australia, they recommend shimarno. I have slx and love them

[@bkxc]

Yeah, the SRAM are getting some heat!

[@brad8961]

Looks amazing, keep it up!

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!

[@albindajakaj8150]

Nice trail, even better driver..

[@bkxc]

Thanks bud!

[@ArcticPride1]

Crazy how much grips can change the feel of a bike. My XO brakes get crap reviews but have been pretty good to me (now I did it)

[@bkxc]

If the stuff rocks for you then that's all that matters!

[@kelvinmulder]

Man I felt so bad for you when your bike fell off the rack, and then you had to do with narrower handlebar and all. Glad you could even ride at all after that though, plus you had some cool new friends with you :D And the trail is just amazing again! btw, more dead trees everywhere!

[@bkxc]

Seriously cool new friends, it was a great adventure! Yeah man, these dead trees look just like the other dead trees and it's about 3 hours away!

[@jaspamitchell2968]

I might check this place out

[@bkxc]

You should!

[@ramblingmanslife]

Dang, you were much more calm than I would have been after the bars got destroyed. I have Guide Rs as well, and I think what most people say is that the pistons actually start sticking in the heat, in addition to the spongy feeling. I suspect Hope Tech is in my future.

[@bkxc]

Haha, I'm just Zen master.... not!

[@adamrazali4024]

come to New South Wales, Sydney!!!!!

[@bkxc]

Next time

[@pandanuswest2147]

do some more A lines please. its all about the airtime.

[@joelmelburn3370]

It sounds like those Aussie boys made you work for it! Nice vid Brian.

[@bkxc]

Haha they did! Wore my ass out by the end. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dnavarrette9471]

He is correct about hot waether and Guide brakes. The plastic pistons overheat and get stuck in the cylinders. I now carry little pieces of shammy towel to wrap my lever reservoirs. I add water and keep em cool.

[@bkxc]

Oh wow, good tip

[@johnsaccoccio7373]

Parked my brand new precioussss in the sun and returned to a WTF! One Guide R lever wasn't returning. Warrantee of course, so there's a week riding time lost. I think they've got it straightened out, shit I hope so. Plenty of sites with fixes, but who wants to deal with that crap during riding season, dealing with the shit I happen to break is bad enough.

[@davidly9716]

Lmao those handlebars after being dragged in the road 😂

[@bkxc]

Haha yeah, it was crazy

[@aaron.ohalloran7312]

Ive been really wanting to know what some youtubers from other countries thought of some vic trails, awesome 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@BuckeyeMCS]

Another great one! Snakes!? ...who hasn't seen the show on NatGeo about Australia having over 5 of the most deadly snakes in the world?!!! Common Brown? I'm dead

[@bkxc]

Hahaha yep. 7 of the worst 10 on Tasmania apparently!

[@rodneybetz3886]

The word snakes out today would have me indoors lol 😂

[@rulisflores4825]

Great video! I wish I could ride with you one day but I´m from Mexico... Excelent videos!!!!

[@bkxc]

I'd love to come to Mexico! If there's good trails I want to ride them.

[@rulisflores4825]

Yes! There are a lot of good trails from where a live, I´m from Chihuahua you could check by my channel and I had some of the trails that are here.

[@willbros1499]

Cool video, and sucks about the bars. I'm guessing you're going to miss the carbon bars not only for weight, but also for the "ride warming" that they give. I can tell it helps with arm fatigue and it deadens chatter. Also...discouraging news from the viewers about the Guide brakes. Ultimates came on my Patrol, and I didn't have any issues here in Arkansas during August. I had EXACTLY the same issues outlined here with Avid 9's previously, so now I'm concerned. I have XT's on my Scout, and admittedly they are very reliable, but they don't modulate quite as well as the Ultimates....more "on/off" feel to the XT's. When I go from Patrol (Guide Ultimates) to Scout (XT's)....I almost throw myself off the bike a few times before I adjust!

[@yukonpeteneff]

Look like some incredibly fun trails. How did both barends get worn?

[@bkxc]

The bar ends normally get worn from me crashing.

[@lukewood8466]

ive had my guide brakes in one of the most humid and hottest place in australia and they have not played up at all

[@bkxc]

Nice!

[@jennarachy6253]

For some reason Australian’s love the brand giant. Every time I go to a mtb park I always seem to stand out because I’m the only one on a polygon.

[@ricliskowitz2436]

sweet trail. Thanks for taking me on that trip.

[@bkxc]

Glad you liked it!

[@rogerarmendariz3810]

I had sram brakes fail on 2 bikes they lasted about 1 year on one and 1 1/2 year on the other , and it's hot where I live . That bike mechanic you visited has experienced the same thing with the heat.

[@bkxc]

Definitely! I'll keep an eye out

[@Bjoggi308]

Duuuuuude.. Wow.. How fortunate it was only your handle-bar and brakes and not the actual bike frame dragging behind.. But man, I just could not stop laughing. Stuff of nightmares for sure.. That trail looked sic. Flow and rocky. Upside down land does not disappoint.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha all you can do is laugh! The land of Oz was magical!

[@Bjoggi308]

I bet it was.

[@JFTM_]

I love riding falls creek 😯 though bet it's nicer there now than when it's -2 C.

[@bkxc]

Haha much nicer!
