Riding my MOST REQUESTED trail system 🇺🇸 50 STATE SHRED: DELAWARE

📺 Check out longer videos and early releases over on / bkxc
Who would have ever thought that a park in Delaware would be the most requested ride spot of all time? Once I said I was going to ride all 50 states the emails came pouring in from people wanting me to go check out Brandywine Creek State Park.

That kid Oneal was ripping. Love all the green. Keep rocking the 50 state tour.

[@ronggearrob9622]

Yeah Delaware! Thanks for visiting the First State (and the civics lesson) BKXC, next time you are here you'll have to check out Middle Run and White Clay Creek parks with miles of fun flowy trails.

Hats off to the kid starting his own business at 16, all the best to him.

Seriously man im not fluent at english (not my national language) but i realize video after video u talk about history of that state u visit? Its really cool its more than ride a bike. U just made excelent content. For me its very interisting keep inspiring love from indonesia

[@ryanonroy]

Its rad seeing trails that I have not ridden in close to two decades still riding awesome. Also that kid rips, get that kid more camera time!

Always a pleasure watching your videos. I have been a follower almost since the first, with all the, "Pain and Pleasure"...stay safe.

[@guyd1974]

Brian Thankyou for keeping us entertained with the smooth judder free videos, broke my hand at Dalby forest so missing the MTB So much right now 🙈

[@BrunoFabrizio70]

Thank you Brian. Your channel and videos rock! Complementing the MTB trial rides with your personal perspective of history behind the places you visit and the logistics of your van, gear, etc make your stories some much more appealing than other channels. If I may suggest, adding the route using any app (strava, or Relive or Komoot or whatever) would further complement your videos (it is also good marketing for the locals!). See you on the trail!!

[@colburnbuxton7090]

I watch your videos for a few reasons, camera quality, your opinion, facts, and fun riding. Im never disappointed

[@carlmiller2752]

One if your best videos yet! This trail was just added to my bucket list!

[@markbackeris7215]

Plus one on enjoying the brief history lesson for each state. Really awesome touch. Love the videos, hope to see what you think of the Pittsburgh trail scene (and history). Lots of options, but Frick is the highlight.

[@prefersoxygen9373]

that cam of yours is incredibly still and clear! I run these same trails, builds incredible dexterity and foot work some of the cyclists get a little peeved, but i always yield to them summer time equals a lot of bugs and oppressive humidity. white clay creek in Newark is getting better, try that. thanks for visiting!

Brian, Another great ride, how sweet is that. Man you are just seeing epic trail after trail. How great would it be, to be you. DW was pretty good, there was some possible finger crunching to be done. Be safe, have fun & have a great week.

Good video, Brian. We missed ya here in Roanoke, but you did us right with the Carvins Cove visit and video. I get my workout pretty regularly on Hi-de-Ho: it is a witch of a climb (but that is why I do it!). I loved the quasi-philosophical mid-ride mini-dialogue. I do the same thing in my mind. I figure all sorts of stuff out and then forget it all by the end!!!

Love the van ,the history (I’m from Aus),and the riding.Cool video mate.🙏🔥

[@muddypawsadventurer7775]

Well done Brian, keep your flowing commentary going. State's history of your 50 state shred is a integral part of your rides. Your ability to comment while riding and make sense is at a genius level, well done. NOW, yeah.... just an observation because you are doing something that makes sense to me. Physical fitness. 1st. was your cross training 2nd. High altitude riding and 3rd. humidity training... yup, high humidity is a butt kicker.... It became clear to me watching this video.

White Clay is great and noticed a lot of jumps being built recently. Good for beginners but fun for all, and no better groomed trails that I know of within 100 miles.

[@reubenbecker-klein7761]

@@ale_gaming4531 I love it, more technical trails and it links up with white clay as well. I like how it does not have gravel trails like white clay does.

Newer subscriber here, your thumbnails and an interest in mtn biking made me click, but your sweet videos got me to sub. One request, when you go with other people, it would be cool to really quickly see what bikes they're riding and get their pros/cons on them. Always curious why people get the bikes they do and what they think, especially when you can see the trails you guys are taking them on...good luck getting the rest of the 50!

[@yipyipyip]

Brian the silver foil side out is to reflect the heat Black side out is to absorb the heat. In the summer you want silverside out to reject the heat outside of the van

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Cool. I think it's been at least 20 years since the last time I rode at Brandywine. Looks like I definitely need to go back.

[@dkipu266]

This looks like the trails here in Wisconsin..perhaps a few more rocks...trees,rocks, and tree’s so close to both sides of the path you occasionally need to turn/twist your handlebars back and forth to get through the path. Nice trail-

Really hope you ride Wiss (Wissahickon Valley Park) in Philly and throw in Belmont for the full experience!!

I was riding Santa Cruz flow trail recently and heard a guy near me listening to a political podcast on his phone. To each their own, but I like to ride in the woods to get away from that shit being crammed down our throats constantly. 😆

[@jakowz7619]

When you come to Mass ride Lynn Woods (massive area with tons of technical jank), wompatuck state forest (bunch of hidden fun features), Vietnam (probably the jankiest trails around) or, if you’re feeling a bike park, Thunder Mountain!

[@dadventuretv2538]

If you’re driving on I-95 just on the Delaware side of the MD-DE border like 1 mile off the 95 exit is Iron Hill. It’s an old Revolutionary War era surface mine. If like whoops stop there- it is super fun. The Iron Hill Loop trail is fun too, but it’s the number of steep fast whoops here that make the place special.

[@coreymtb420]

Hoping to see you in the Connecticut trails some Connecticut chunk do enjoy seeing the USA what is actually out there hopefully give people an eye opening how no one is stuck where they are

You make it look easy. If your still looking for some good trail riding in Indiana. Brown County State Park will have you covered. Plenty of good ups and downs flow and good technical stuff if your interested.

[@johnnyrc9304]

Brian, just a thought, but for the hotter places, have you considered a pack hammock to sleep in? Sure proly not in a Wal Mart marking lot, but just about anywhere else, and they feel much cooler than a bed in those situations. Can get mosquito nets for them. Great vid btw, and I enjoy your history lessons. Keep it up.

[@brenthinkle3352]

He didn’t have much of a chat about these trails. I don’t think he enjoyed them. Could have been the heat but I think I know why. These trails are 20 min from me and I rarely ride them. There are just too many other great places in the area. He figured it out halfway through his first ride. These trails are steep up and then right back down. He says it at 11:35ish. The descents are fun with lots of ways to play around but they’re over really quick. No gradual climbs back up. ...and BTW I like technical climbs. The rock gardens here aren’t fun to me, lots of sharp or square edge hits. I just feel like they’re ruining my machine. If I want technical and fun I go to Wissahickon. If I want flow I go to White Clay, DE or Fair Hill, MD. Brandywine can be fun if you know it really well but I don’t think it’s a good place if you’re just visiting for a day.

[@TrevorOFarrell]

Yeah as a Nor cal rider, I was watching wondering how so many people would request him to ride trails that look like they are in someones backyard lol, looks like some 20 sec descents. My local trails are way better than this, and offer many more types of riding, this place looks flat and rocky, or quick up or down.
