She passed this test with flying colors

[@SethsBikeHacks]

That place eats pedals and derailleurs! I remember getting into that rut (on the section you get nervous on) and seeing my life flash before my eyes. Macky was right behind me and was equally scared watching. Sarah has got skills!

[@nosreuter]

Nice of you giving Sarah cred Seth, she certainly deserves it after some awesome riding on that rough trail the first time like that! Remember that vid you're referring to pretty vividly. Kind of scared all of us I think! The GoPro effect must have been especially strong in this BKXC vid for some reason since it just didn't come across as the real deal it is..

[@gaberomero1740]

Better send Brian the Weblazer

[@joelrunyan1608]

And... she's got a great power to weight ratio.. sarah really can accelerate in the slow speed uphill chunk..

[@claydogmadman6295]

I think one of the main reasons why I like Brian's channel so much is because he always got good one-way conversation...👍

[@markvan3465]

So lucky to find a riding mate like Sarah. Good on you!

[@schism8286]

Beautiful ripmo. Beautiful companion. Beautiful trails. Life is good man. Cheers

[@michaelskembo4741]

She seems like a good match for you! It's nice to see the way you two interact.

[@zxtenn]

WOW, you sure don't have to ever wait for her, amazing cardio and strength in her legs

[@darrylbruce1]

This is my local trail also, which I just rode yesterday! I know these trails and now I know how great a rider Sara is! The GoPro effect doesn't do it justice, it's harder than it looks in video!

[@senditboardgames1993]

Thanks for the shout-out! We'll see what we can do about making you guys characters in the game 😉 BTW - nice job on that climb. I thought you had it!!!!!!

[@jig162]

[@kimmadsen8175]

Hi Brian, I have been watching your videos for a few years ... thought it was time to make a quick comment. Your youtube channel is one of the best, for the sport of mountain biking ... it’s alive, in you. “Thank you for sharing” 👍🏻

[@davejones6812]

Thanks for being so motivational Brian. I'm sure it's more than just me but I sometimes forget how much worse I feel mentally and physically if I spend to much time on the couch. I really need to muster up some motivation and get back out there. Stay safe and healthy.

[@OutdoorGold]

The 50 State Shred might be on hold, but at least youre making the quota for annual Rockville videos. I always dig em!

[@Lalokera0629]

Spot on with the cow and trail health comment. Thank you Brian!

[@k4rmaK]

Sarah looks so natural riding that stuff. Just awesome...

[@tamirox]

I love how smooth the bike sounds.

[@mplafferty]

You need Seth's cobweb removers!

[@nosreuter]

Haha, was about to comment if anyone saw this video after Seth's product review of "the weblazer"😂

[@teodelfuego]

The weblazers are AMAZING! I upgraded to the $750 carbon/titanium deluxe versions for use in my races!

[@declanpriddy270]

i was thinking the same thing

[@markopolo9559]

Sara is a keeper and she is amazing, she has power for those long uphill climbs too!

[@TheCL296]

Its so cool to see you out riding the local trails since covid started. I just picked up my first 29er and I am excited to hit these trails too!

[@christopherwalters8508]

Awesome, I absolutely feel the same way, get out there and ride!

[@ronilaba]

Brian was the reason i got back into mountain biking. Appreciate everything you do bro!

[@freerangemtb]

Dude, seeing all those rocky trails is making me miss my hometown trail so much! I need to get back to AZ to ride some good old fashioned desert tech.

[@AdamClarkx1]

We used to live in Fairfield and I would go out and run that park a lot. Love it.

[@juanpalacios2908]

I love this sport, that's why I watch every video.

[@Sewingwithfire]

It’s weird seeing trails so close to home for me. I’m new to mountain biking and Rockville is like ten minutes away and I’ve been wanting to ride there lol wish me luck

[@RicQuintanilla]

you 2 complement each other so well! awesome!

[@wasaker09]

That first weird section on Unknown gives me pause now and to see Sarah hit it cleanly, blind is awesome. Oh ya, Sarah can ride.

[@ferretjuices5099]

I just love the dynamic between you guys

[@StraightLine_MTB]

Awesome job. Love Rockville especially early in fall when its sketchy slippery and foggy

Hey Brian! I was feeling stronger and stronger and then on Saturday I had a nasty crash that sliced my knee open really bad. And now I am off the bike for weeks😫. Looks like I’ll be on a BKXC marathon watch session now. Loved the video today! Thank you.

[@ejhayes76]

Oh man. Heal up quickly mate.

[@celticspirit1]

Looks like a fun ride. I am in CT and am still trying to get in my first ride this year due to La Corona lockdown and the recent rain here. This vid is motivational. Stay up dude.

haha ^^ that emoji lol

[@annuitcoeptis100]

Nice way of pointing that out. (w/ emojis) It's kind of sad that men still act surprised about this kind of stuff. Not saying that you do. (Hell, you could be a woman for all I know.) "Woman strong" is a real thing. Physically, Mentally, and emotionally in most cases. Men pass the f@ck out in delivery rooms while watching. No joke. PTSD sucks! Women have been dealing with that on their own for thousands of years. They are not fueled by fear. They don't hide their emotions. Can't bruise an ego that doesn't exist. ....

This was awesome to watch! Instant classic & Sarah made it special since this was her first time seeing Rockville’s Glory! 👏🏼💃🏻🕺🏻🚲💨 #Dancing #NoShortageOfRocks

[@go-getterclan5815]

"Come out of this stronger" Thats my entire mindset as well. Not gonna let this terrible situation we are all in get in the way of reaching my max potential and surpassing it! And that goes for every area in life. In fact this crazy time period should be the ultimate wake up call to live life to the fullest! Ive lost another 20 pounds with my Walking/HiTT routine since the pandemic started around 40/50 pounds in all so far and feel so great. Gonna finally get back into biking soon too so im hyped to push myself to the limit in that area too! Definitfely coming out of this mess stronger! 💪

[@twright1211]

She's an awesome rider! You guys could do that hut to hut ride to Moab. That'd make for a cool series. Great riding and video guys!

[@EnduranceHunter]

Sarah is such a great person and a spectacular rider! We had the same coach back in Florida and we use to race alongside each other!

[@bkxc]

Cool! Sarah says hello!

If you get back to the 50 state shred and if you hit Yooper land up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan we have barely any cases. Also, if you come back to Marquette you gotta check out Harlow Lake trails !

[@kevindwight1397]

You’re fortunate to have her along. Both your skill levels have changed and will continue to change. No tests, just mutual stoke. Enjoy! 😉

[@nosreuter]

I might be sensitive but I agree, a few too many comments on that area.. Though I think it's probably also awkward being in love and acting natural in front of a huge KZbin audience...

[@MaxHancockMusic]

Hey Brian! If your going to Colorado some great front range trails are flatiorns vista trails for xc and for real trails west magnolia and buffalo creek are incredible.

[@michibellas]

Sarah is hell of a good rider! Your vids from BC and moab races were really great though.

[@derekcravenPT]

That young lady can sure ride, especially if it was her first time over those trails!

[@youbikewithatube]

Rockville and that area is California has always been very freaked out about getting off the trail for almost any reason.

[@mizznfizz1]

Yup in Carson city we use the sheep for the fire abatement. Not so much worry are the sheep, rather the sheep dogs that are guarding the herd, big Burnese since we have mtn. lion and coyote to protect them. My brother has actually been chased off by them. Can't wait for you to take her up to Tahoe so she can experience the majesty we live near!

[@jimrutherford2773]

Prescribed fire would be the best way to reduce the fuel load in the park. You're right that cattle do a lot of damage like horses, to the trails. Goats and sheep do minimal damage but they do remove seedlings of trees like the oaks, and the next generation of trees is eliminated.

[@philjones4903]

With the shut down getting to the park at 7am is beneficial. Closing parks does not make much sense. Mtb folks don’t usually take or leave debris. Back at the parking lot you may find a beer bottle or 2.

[@redwoodJB]

That "manzanita" was actually a Madrone. Beatiful trees though. That places looks like fun.

[@charlesthistle]

I enjoy seeing you improve your skills over time at Rockville. How do you manage the poison oak? This is the time of year I have to avoid trails at lower elevations due to it.

[@bumblebeeyaj9375]
