You're going to Chico state, right? I'm a 2003 grad from the media arts department. Here's an idea: For your logo, go talk to someone in the graphic design department and suggest they make it an assignment. If you can make it happen, you'll have 30-60 students submit full, scalable logo packages to you and you'll get to take your pick. Document it all on cam, make it a contest with 3 finalists and a winner, and you'll get great content for your channel along with professional quality logos/graphics for free. I know that's a lot of work lol. Either way, love your videos, man!

[@alexthemtbr]

SquirmingCoil1 that’s an amazing idea! Thank you! I’ll Have to that

[@theRhinsRanger]

What a cool suggestion

[@BockaufBiken]

Dude, i love watching these! Keep up the good work and all the best for your knee!

[@alexthemtbr]

Bock auf Ballern thank you! They are fun to make too 😂

[@000JT]

Great video man 🤙🏻 it’s awesome watching someone who rips some of the same trails I ride. Your a beast and inspire me to better my riding, keep the up the great videos.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Wait wait wait wait... you had a mountain biking option/class/team/coach in your SCHOOL?! Dude all we had around here for extra curricular was How To Become An Oil Rig Worker and Moose Trapping 101.

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Sessioning parts of trails with friends is a super rad day out, lots of fun. I love it!

[@Antweak83]

I enjoyed this beginning to end! Keep up the laughs the beginning was hilarious with stem multitool

[@alexthemtbr]

MTB Trail Weaks hahaha awesome!!!! I love editing these cause it’s so funny 😅

[@TroggyPK]

literally the defentinion of the quote "i'm an engineer" when used by ANY CUSTOMER IN ANY BIKE SHOP at the beginning of this video.. lmfao

[@3down55]

nice vid, so handy that small pump inside the tube lol

[@FloridaTrailrider]

Nice riding guys. Trails look super fun!

[@monstervlogster1157]

ALEX, I love your videos man, you make me laugh the whole time! XD

[@alexthemtbr]

Monster Vlogster that’s what I like to hear!!!

[@BMXandDIRTBIKES93]

This style of video is awesome. The helmet cam is great. No need for the hassle of a gimbal. Keep up the great content!

[@3RacingEnduroProgram]

Nice vid I love it

[@TrailBikeBebop]

I love the steep! always great vids.

[@loamtroopers]

Hell yeah, Alex! Hope your knee if feeling better, man!

[@alexkarliychuk504]

Much Respect! These trails are really steepy and crazy, plus slippery dirt! =)

[@ZeroMotorcyclesCBS]

Your videos describe mountain biking in college so well 😂😂 always gatta end a ride with a beer don't care what time it is

[@Jo3sX]

You had a high school MTB coach? Tell me where you live so I can move there if I ever have kids.

[@alexthemtbr]

Joel Stephenson I live in the Bay Area but there are programs all around the US!

[@MrPlow-nq5rk]

Is that a giro switchblade i see?? Whats your opinion on the helmet? Is it too hot of a lid to ride in socal?

[@alexthemtbr]

Gustavo Cervera if it’s 65 and under it’s not bad. But mid summer or above 80 gets toasty

[@Honda-nn3ee]

Ever try 2.8in tires on your bikes? What’s the downside in your opinion on plus tires? DH racers use to run 26x3.0 tires and I️ love my 2.8 minions on my hardtail. I️ just don’t have enough experience with different sizes on full suspension bikes, so I’m hoping you can give me the low down.

[@jakeauby1141]

Honda 2000 are you "plus-curious"

[@JFRides]

Awesome : )

[@jtaraiza2480]

Sweet vid man, looks like awesome trails. I'm looking to get a set of TRP Quadiems, how do you like yours?

[@brycebott6798]

Now this is those kinda videos that wanna make you ride...

[@alexthemtbr]

Bryce Bott that’s awesome feedback! I’m stoked people are digging these Casual videos!

[@jbdbsb]

Just noticed you MV T-shirt. I graduated in 80', go Mustangs. Yeah I'm an old guy, an old guy who rides those trails there too. Not as fast as you youngsters, but I PR'd F9 today and it's loose as shit.

[@karlfonner7589]

Banzai Brooks i’m class of 80 also. Las Lomas that is. I guess those trails are on the other side of Mount Diablo towards Monte Vista high school?

[@jmoutdoors2801]

cool video!

[@cursedmercy6579]

When do you ride flats and when with clips?

[@alexthemtbr]

xqx123 Games I try to never ride with flats. But Use them every once in a while to better my technique

[@cursedmercy6579]

Oke thanks, I just started riding with flats so I wanted to know what you did. :)

[@bocaj628]

Do you think you could make a video about riding for a cycling team; Pros/Cons, bikes and skill level. I've been thinking about riding for Chico State once I transfer.

[@alexthemtbr]

jacob january I can, no reason not to join Chico’s team tho. Nothing but good times. Amateur racing team might be a different story tho

[@bocaj628]

Thank you very much. Been following the team for a little bit on instagram and it looks awesome. Plus joining will be a great reason to get a new bike.

[@willkirschke5865]

yur my fav utuber

[@chaseadventure]

Okay who owns the Ford Raptor!!? That thing is Sick , second question how! Aren't you guys in college.. I had a 92 yota with 280k miles on it, the only way I could afford bike parts haha!!

[@alexthemtbr]

Chase Callen haha my 99 ram was getting tires that day. That’s my dads truck 😂

[@chaseadventure]

Haha Nice not a bad temp vehicle to borrow!

[@tocjo]

and the brakes ? how are they ?

[@cdabcdefg12345]

To find this u want to go to olema in West Marin and climb up the fire road ride at the start of town until you reach the third bridge, then look behind the burnt redwood and sendy🤙😉

[@cosplay2933]

hi, im with the monte vista biking club as a freshmen , im just wondering where those trails are in alamo

[@jakeauby1141]

Not Alamo... little bit farther south ;)

[@craigsteele8178]

Hey Alex, love the vids bro. Quick question, Is that Auburn your riding in? I am doing a Mn't bike trip that way in April I would love to hit those trails. Many Thanks Cheers!!

[@alexthemtbr]

Craig Steele it’s about 2:30 hours south of auburn

[@craigsteele8178]

Thanks buddy!

[@loganstanchec8549]

Sick vid. You should do a bike check of the red slash

[@alexthemtbr]

Logan Stanchec I will soon!

[@verrueckterjoonge]

how many beers are involved in this video?

[@alexthemtbr]

Robert Wiessner zero 😂

[@connorchow2215]

Where in NorCal is this? Up by Chico?

[@alexthemtbr]

Connor Chow when you ask where trails are, dm me on insta haha. But nah this is 20 min from you

[@rmack611]

Retired the shimano pedals?

[@alexthemtbr]

Ryan Mclaughlin yup!

[@justinbrown99]

How do you like the float x2? I just ordered mine and hope it's worth the big price tag

[@victorcanamon]

What pedals are you running?

[@alexthemtbr]

Victor Cañamon nukeproof horizon cl

[@iamclarks]

Funny video...recent subscriber here. Keep it up. Hey is this front 9? Looks like you came up golden eagle.

[@petayV8]

Haha cool. Some of the steepest stuff I've ridden round here is in Novato a almost 30% grade. Like Stinkfist

[@alexthemtbr]

petayV8 that one is super steep’ these actually average around 37% 😅

[@petayV8]

Alex Chamberlin dayum!

[@cdabcdefg12345]

There’s a sustained 52% grade on mount tam🤙

[@ethanfischer3839]

How do you like the brakes?

[@alexthemtbr]

Ethan Fischer they are good so far. Will talk about them soon

[@ethanfischer3839]

Alex Chamberlin check your Instagram. Sent you a massage about future riding plans

[@fabians.2868]

What do you think about the Saint spd Pedals so far

[@alexthemtbr]

Fabian S. I think the nukeproof pedals I’m running are good. Don’t know about the saints

[@fabians.2868]

Alex Chamberlin lol thought that the One your running on your bike are saints but ive never seen the saints in real life

[@LoBiTo-jc6ir]

What kind of Trek is that your buddy is on and wheel size?

[@mikeyin19]

Can u do a bike check on your buddy’s Slash? Have you ridden one? How’s it compare to the Enduro?

[@QmanBikerDude]

this as steep as the loam trail we rode on last sunday?

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

whoa, where is that? Some of it looked like the stuff I rode with Will but the rest was like..... nice work

[@alexthemtbr]

Jeff Lenosky same trails!! Some are Basically right next to what we rode

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Whew. That's good to hear because if you're saying they're steep that explains why I was so scared. Lol!

[@alexthemtbr]

Jeff Lenosky I think the one you rode is -37% grade. Those trails are gnarly man!

[@Alex-qq6wk]

We need more roost

[@thelifeofraymond]

Hey so your filming this with the helmet and gopro in the description?

[@benjamintheberge5811]

Do a video about trailbuilding

[@gtflyer]

Explain how to start a wheelie, that's where I have problems..tia.

[@clarencemabansag5456]

Nice bro!

[@seanharanmtb7923]

Hey Alex, I'm going to be staying with family in Livermore in a few weeks, from what I've gathered these (won't throw out the name lol) are probably the most worthwhile trails to ride out there if I'm looking for the gnar. Any opinion from you would be appreciated, I know it's hard to find trails in the Bay when you aren't from there haha

[@alexeverest7743]

whens the next video?

[@jbdbsb]

Oh yeah and they are steep ass trails

[@emericlardet2001]

What’s the Santa Cruz bike and continue like this

[@cursedmercy6579]

Alex Chamberlin. I ride in a MTB club and everyone rides with clips but I'm starting to ride with flats why do only a few people ride with flats?

[@alexthemtbr]

xqx123 Games just takes more effort climbing and most people prefer to have their feet in the same place every time

[@mycobraracr1]

Where is this trail?

[@alexthemtbr]

mycobraracr1 that I cannot say. But it wouldn’t take to much digging to find out

[@mycobraracr1]

Thanks, I'm in Chico and with all the rain am getting tired of the same few trails. This trail looks fun!

[@alexthemtbr]

This is 3 hours from Chico! And I feel the same way. I don’t like Bidwell Park at all

[@user-pb7kk7fc4f]

Can you come ride the trails in Livermore CA at del valle

[@RyanBoardman234s]

Send it

[@PetitTerrible]

Nice Ride!

[@leonardonilsen4217]

Alex who’s your favorite mountain bike KZbinr

[@alexthemtbr]

Leonardo Nilsen that is a question I shouldn’t answer 🤣

[@Alex-qq6wk]

Dude I'm in middle school and my school has a 6-12th grade Mountain bike team but we are cross country riders

[@lemo_manda6076]

What would you like as logo, animals, flags.... Whats in your head?

[@samsonian]

Looks like you need crampons...or come up with a patent for the first bike/shovel or bike/pickaxe hybrid, maybe carbon...definitely carbon. Must be carbon.

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

where was the MT bike class when I was in school? I want to be a teen again , just for that class.

[@christianlindner1861]

50/01 this shit out man \m/

[@alexthemtbr]

Christian Lindner I should!!

[@dashpack3236]

i don't have a highschool team but me and a couple of friends and our superintendent go ride sometimes #ridelife

[@SteveHofsaess]

Great Video Alex, Could you recommend a great MTB coach in CA. I am an intermediate rider who could use some better techniques. Thanks in advance

[@alexthemtbr]

Ian Massey @ Trail Technique!

[@SteveHofsaess]

Thanks Alex, I have been taking lessons for the past 2 days with Ian Massey. Not easy, but I am getting better. Heading to Tamarancho loop tomorrow.

[@thelifeofraymond]

Yo just post more of these! We dont need gimbal'd footage

[@VntaBlxck]

[@gavinthenav6594]

[@JoshuaDavidBaughman]

I'll make you a logo. PM me what you'd like on it. I have made brand logos for several small companies.

[@thim8009]

Not mr. America it's captain america

[@alexthemtbr]

Thim Bales forgive me 😅

[@benjamintheberge5811]

Please dk a video about roosting

[@TheOpius123]

lol

[@coolcycles]

...needs some serious sound editing and some cuts too. Otherwise fun video already, Alex.

[@alexthemtbr]

Cool Cycles yea unfortunately I edited with headphones on and it was very clear. Didn’t test it out without headphones

[@coolcycles]

What I mean is, that your buddies' voices are really muted, because they are too far away from the mic (e.g. around 15:30). Greetings from Düsseldorf! Alex´ [Yeah, same club ;) ]

[@thelifeofraymond]

Honestly I see no issue with a video like this. Its a fun video that didn't require too much effort to make and came out pretty good

[@sacha2711]

what's your IG?

[@on1ytheb3st]

Hahaha classic engineering student

[@cellphonenut]

No doubt that guy wheels perfectly. But that jersey rocks USA !!

[@gweflj]

That dude should have got in his car and gone home and watch Sesame Street.

[@jakeauby1141]

gweflj yeah! What a jahbroni!
