Am I really ready to take on the toughest tech challenge I’ve ever seen? Lots of my buddies have cleaned Horsethief Bench in Fruita. But my buddies have also done lots of things that I can’t pull off yet. It’s all about MY skills and level of comfort. I knew I had to attempt the Bench today, but I didn’t think it would be this damn scary.

The key to surviving Horsethief, is to let the pros do it and just watch them on youtube :)

[@maisiesmydog5194]

Guaranteed success, worked for me. I did not die while viewing the video.

[@TorieDH]

I think your on to something lol

[@jddallager1699]

Indeed! Risk vs. reward. Hubris vs. bragging rights. A lifetime of enjoying MTB'ing vs. spending months recovering or worse. Backstory: I'm 75 and help coach a high school MTB Team. I hope I'm demonstrating that one can enjoy MTB'ing for a lifetime. I can't and won't do the technical 3 foot drops and 10 foot jumps that many of the kiddos can do; but I can enjoy watching their progress in both fitness and skills. And their parents too!! 🙂 Rubber side down .... Rule #1 is FUN!!

Horsethief’s bench is where I suck up the pride, get off and walk... that section right after Horsethief’s tho, holy crap so beauty...

[@mplafferty]

Your riding has gotten so much better this year and you are taking on way more challenges than ever before! Kudos!

[@RowdyHonzo]

Well done Bryan! As always, GoPro does very little justice to a massive feature that's difficult to even walk down. Moore Fun actually looked pretty interesting, I did think that a lot of the trails other than Horsethief (which is amazing) were pretty boring in the Kokopelli area but will give Moore a shot next time I'm over there.

[@bryant8635]

Dude I feel like I barely make it out of my SPD's in time when I slow-mo a bad berm entry. I cannot fathom the skill needed to unclip fast enough not to die violently on that run. You owned it. Awesome.

[@ryanf8354]

just bought a T-shirt...glad to help a fellow junkie in need. I've been watching your vids for awhile now and they have brought me joy when I can't ride. Cheers mate and perhaps I'll see ya on the trail one of these days!

[@chiploven2875]

I lived in Fruita for 2 years (2014 & 2015). Horsethief Bench is my favorite ride. I would never attempt that drop in. I always walked it to keep myself out of the emergency room 😀. Always love the show. Bay Area rider in Moraga. Miss Fruita all the time. I was back in town last October for a bike trip. You need to ride the new Palisade Plunge.

[@jeremysmith876]

Killed it Bryan, Rode this trail system last fall for the first time with my two brothers. Walked horsethief bench but will attempt to conquer it this year. Awesome trails, cool town, and don’t forget to ride 18 road while your in the area!

[@RidgeRiderMTB]

Never been happier to support the channel and looking forward to getting my tshirt :) much love Brian!

[@brackonlundy8263]

Mad respect for riding that section. I’ve been on it a handful of times and was nowhere close finishing it

[@dad2trips52]

Talk about Beast Mode! Dude, you did those features insanely fast! Great job Brian!

[@isaaclyon8478]

I rode this trail two days ago! I was extremely proud to have gone more than half way down the drop in, and then clear the rest of the trail. It’s sketchy as hell!

[@daltontinoco7084]

Those breaks you pull after a drop scare the crap outta me. Every time I'm freaking out "omg he's going to fall, " but you magically stop the bike on a dime. Freaking magic man here

[@mtbwithtfb]

Great work Brian! Last April, we were on our way from Fruita to Moab and I went OTB on the rock slab/rock roll/drop. Too much speed and tried to roll it. Bad move. Broke a rib and a bone in my hand. Lesson learned.

[@ericklaurila1293]

Love seeing RC! Such a great attitude.

[@carlito7130]

Tremendous, Brian!🙌🤙 the hands were sweating and then relief you sent the whole line!! 🔥

[@abstraddic0442]

Great job, Looks like you had a blast out there.. Tough and beautiful terrain.👍

[@bchearne]

I love how you relish the sort of tech that some folks hate. It’s exactly the kind of punishment I enjoy, although your skills are a bit higher than mine. Inspiration!

[@t-panda808]

Yesssssssss.. I have the original shirt in Red, and it's pretty tattered. I was bummed that you didn't restock them and now that it's back I will buy 2. Thanks Brian!!

[@nuckfish30]

The most honest merch pitch ever haha

[@bring_bandaids1565]

Can’t wait to get my T Shirt! Amazing video, as always Bryan. You’re the man!

[@jerryshoe7302]

It was cool meeting you at 18Rds. I was the guy in the parking lot with the RIPMO. I was also riding Kokopelli trails the following day when you filmed this. Only difference is I didn't make the full descent down Horsethief. I alway chicken out at that last section. Mad props to you for making it look easy

[@huntstyle]

RC is the world's greatest commentator. This is a perfect collab!

[@hotfires3602]

Thats some crazy riding man. So cool to see you just full send anything in your way

[@edmondlau511]

You guys are insane and I mean that in the most complimentary way. Awesome riding there!

[@AFugax]

Impressive! Done that ride numerous times…never really tried the drop in. The first time I rode it, I don’t think it was really possible, but since then it has been reworked but is still no joke!

[@rocco.mbb.zoccoli]

Brian; you’re a stud man.. I visited that trail on our way to Moab last fall and I was sliding down that feature on my ass in a few spots!

[@Scott-mk7tz]

High marks for bravery again Brian. Keep the vids coming.

[@ResonatorProductions]

I just purchased the T shirt because I truly enjoy your channel and seeing the different trails out there.

[@saltysquatch4544]

Awesome! Horsethief is my favorite! But I walk all those gnarly spots! 👊🤘

[@therowlandteam4559]

Nice! I rode Horsethief a few years ago and did the entry right up until that big drop and then walked the last 30%. Cleaned the rest of that trail and it was an absolute blast :).

[@Lastinline1965]

Great videos - so glad to find your channel 👍🏼👍🏼

[@bryanlewis8891]

You are an awesome rider - if not a little bit crazy. I like your videos. Thank you for sharing them.

[@traderryan713]

That looked fun. Looking forward to hitting cool spots and doing the van thing myself soon!

[@coreymclernon]

Hey Brian! Nice work giving back! I’m going to check out your component brand and definitely put something on my bike!

[@stevemurray2737]

Rode, (Hiked) Horsethief’s Bench Today!.. Yikes!.. Could barely walk it!.. Nice work Bryan!

[@neuregel]

i havent seen one of your videos in a long long while and I can see youve gotten much better

[@MichianaMadman]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks about lunch while riding.

[@mdoneg]

My hands sweat watching you ride. Love That trail! Camped off the Mack exit many times and rode all around “Fruitie”.

[@andyashla]

Awesome job on that feature, Brian!

[@johnanthony6141]

Favorite trail ever. I go there every year. 18 Road and the Kokopelli trails are in my favorites. BTW, I always walk that section. Don’t want to go to the the Fruita ER. AGAIN. Haha

[@512MTB4LIFE]

love the Kokopelli trails. Used to live in Fruita and got to hit them all the time. 18rd is awesome too!

[@huntnman]

Love this trail, but I was waiting for your video of climbing out of there @BKXC Brian! :)

[@olaeriksson9714]

Tanks for the opertunity to order what I never thought I would see in real life.

[@janaburritt6939]

I remember helping build that. Beautiful area. Hope your van is easily fixed. My husband rode it until he was 62.

[@JimF-777]

Videos of that are skeery enough. Nicely done!

[@michaelbailey8690]

Bought a shirt! Good luck Bud!

hey Joseph here I am 13 and live in Montrose about an hour or so away from there and I am getting in to jumping on bikes and want to get out on some trails soon. love the content keep it up.

[@smog24]

I regret not riding this trail while I was there for a week last year. I was able to persaude my partner to do zippity loop as an alternative to horsetheif, but overall the riding in that area is so fun and memorable.

[@ShaneHarderPhoto]

Massive props, that section is so much sketchier in real life than it looks on youtube and it looked pretty rough. I wish I could say I did it, but like most mortals I walked it.

[@mannys5694]

Bought a shirt cause I understand that struggle when something breaks on your truck!!!!! Good luck

[@hollowayoutdoors8713]

My home trails! Grew up riding them on my BMX bike with my neighbor lol. Now riding that stuff, it blows me away we did that with no helmets on cheap BMX bikes lol. Good job making it down! Munchies is the spot man!

[@Loam_Lord]

Went there a couple years ago. Definitely walked this section. Absolutely blown away that you cleared that shit. Wowzers.

[@sleepy.philly]

fr brian’s a beast

[@Powermoose1TV]

Lol. I walked it. It’s super gnarly. Good for you

[@matthewguerin4161]

That section of Horse thief is full on. Great trail.

[@MikeKraemer87]

Snagged a t-shirt, hope it helps man! These trails look absolutely insane, so much different than what i ride here in Alabama.

Damn dude your tech game is on point!

[@mikelewellen4195]

Great job! I'd never attempt such things.

[@MrSketchyCharacter]

That entrance is so much more heinous in real life. Way to go!

[@mrvwbug4423]

That drop in is still the gnarliest trail section I've ever seen in RL, I'm happy to hike a bike it. I've seen people OTB on it every time I go there.

[@starrymikaytv584]

I'm watching your all videos 👍👍👍👍👍

[@stuartnewman3978]

T-shirts purchased from the UK. Good luck with the Van!

[@Twentykixx]

Nice riding. Precise positioning in the cockpit keeps the OTB in check and the nerves at bay. Picked up a shirt brother, hope it helps.

I went to college at university of Denver and one girl I met was from aspen and she had never skid. I was always mind blown 🤯

Thx for the possibility to order the t-skirt of the Centuri. ;)

Got one! To the van 🚐 🍻

[@leonv1553]

Gawd that is some choppy trail. Nice job guys!!! Could not imagine trying it without locals shepherding. It looked like some air opportunities. Also noticed the high-end rider genius / guide kept wheels grounded, good call. Price of botching up a landing along there is way too high. Back a bit there was a steel stake sticking up. PLEASE cut that sucker off! I really don't want anyone getting on that. Will be looking at your shirts, sick of black or grey of course.

[@ziolux91]

Amazing places. Greetings from Italy

[@jaimeb.7537]

Holy crap that was butt puckering even just to watch! Ride safe out there and have fun guys!

No words!..But Damn!!

[@bradlafon8375]

Awesome content bud!!! U should check out Carvins Cove trails in Roanoke Va, there are 5 double black diamond trails & 7 single black diamond trails & many more blues & greens also, super fun place to ride

I would enjoy this ride more. This land is beautiful

[@markwilson4710]

The engine is very common and doesn't cost $13000. Good luck and killer ride.

[@secretdaisy6484]

From here in Kentucky where there isn’t anything like that it looks really gnarly. I’m taking a bike & hike vacation in Utah, Arizona and maybe some other places. I don’t have your skills but I can step off and walk the bike 🚴 if necessary. 👍☮️🌞🚴❤️

[@bkxc]

Enjoy it! Lots of great trails that aren't life or death out there!
