THE HYPE IS REAL 🇺🇸 50 STATE SHRED: INDIANA

📺 Check out longer videos and early releases over on / bkxc
The best part about the 50 State Shred is FINALLY getting to some of the places that I have heard SO MUCH about but haven't made time to go ride. Brown County has been hyped up by you guys from the very start of my channel. It's hard to believe, but this place completely lived up to the hype.

Pro tip...When you hear a strange hissing coming from a cave, you leave the area as quick as possible...It could be a ton of things and most of them bite... ;)

[@MrGrenadeMcBoom]

Sounded like a skunk to me. Which, really, is worse.

[@eventdewan7014]

Very scary riding alone in the jungle like that

[@knordberg]

To me, you're known as "that guy" that kept us engrossed in a year-long adventure during Covid. Thanks for taking us on your amazing adventure. I don't know if you realize what you have done for people. God Bless.

[@shelleyswan104]

I don't bike (not yet, anyway) but I love watching these!

[@dammbleth2]

I just started MTB as a corona-hobby. This channel has been a lot of fun while i'm cooped up.

[@RenageTV]

@@shelleyswan104 I'm getting one because of him. I love this channel.

[@willyjaybobindy3402]

@BKXC A couple of things: first, thank you for riding our trails! Our state is blessed to have an amazing network, which you only scratched the surface of, by the way. There’s SO MUCH MORE you didn’t ride! Come back soon! Second, about that gate/off road fee…those fees don’t go to us. These trails are built and maintained by Hoosier Mountain Bike Association. Volunteers do much of this work! And a bonus number three…you met Steve Miller! (the guy on the Chromag). He is somewhat infamous in these parts for so many reasons LOL come back soon, my friend.

[@danielsprehe]

Man, I went there in July, I tried doing schooner and heard the exact same sound from that same cave. I got it on video and looking back at the video it was a skunk. Scared the crap out of me. It was a damp day and between that animal and the crazy rocks right before I said screw it and turned around and just went and did the other trails (it was the first trail of the day for me). Also, they were collecting the gate fee and you had to go to the main office and pay an additional $5 to ride the non beginner trails. I asked and the $5 goes to the local trail build association who maintains the trails.

[@Cliftyman]

Might be buzzards. We have a bunch of rocks that fell off the cliff that formed a "cave" and for 10 years buzzards (vultures) have been raising their young in there. They make a horrible hissing noise when you get close.

[@danielsprehe]

@@Cliftyman maybe for Brian, but when I was there I got got it on video. It was clearly a black with white striped mammal. Most likely a skunk, but could have been a badger.

[@ClintGriffin1]

We are bummed that you had to skip Griffin Bike Park because of the rain but glad you got to check out Brown County.

[@brycelmorrison]

Sure hope he comes back for Griffin. It’s amazing.

[@michael28701]

dude ive only been there once i really only went for the pump track and the slalom but ima hit the jump lines next time i go there

[@jeffwertz8108]

Coming down this weekend to GBP. Bringing a friend. Can't wait.

[@marcuslinton310]

Griffin is nothing compared to Brown County. Griffin is over hyped, wouldn't travel more than an hour for that place. It's only saving grace is it's skill park for those who enjoy that stuff, which I don't. As a local trail system, overall it's great, but it's really not a travel destination of any real distance.

[@andrewfarrugia6072]

Great hide Places USA

[@Mr89siR]

I fell down one of those ravines last time I was there!

[@BigWaveDaveO]

Next time you swing by Indiana check out O'Bannon Woods and the Adventure Hiking Trail. Someone described It as Schooner Trace & Bobcat had a baby for 26 miles. The rest of the trail system is old school roots and chunk with a little flow/jump. to reward you with the chunk.

[@Mr89siR]

I came here to say the same thing! Love O'Bannon!

[@RunBikeMike]

Spandex ahead and walking. LOL Quote of the day.

[@GriffinBikePark]

We are excited for you to come visit Griffin Bike Park the next time you come through Indiana!

[@nickanotheradventure]

Could swing through Kickapoo State Park trails after that!!

[@boneheadfish7893]

Griffin is definitely an excellent place to ride, up there with BC.

There are some really good trails up here in Tippecanoe County.

[@austball13]

Awesome to finally see Indiana featured. As someone from the northeastern part of the state who doesn't even ride mountain bikes (but loves watching your amazing videos), you've definitely inspired me to not only make the trip to check out Brown County but also give mountain biking a shot. Thanks, man! Can't wait for more great content!

Your video motivated me to take my own adventure at Brown County! Man what a great time! Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work!

It's a very easy trail, but Green Valley is a blast to ride with some great flow spots. Nothing technical, just fun fast flow.

Everytime I watch your videos I cannot wait for the weekend so I can bike again in the woods :) Super nice videos and project you have going on.

[@breakandrun70]

Brian, that bike park rocked, a lot of different types of trails, also extreme fun. I'm some happy you made it back to do Indiana. Have a great week, I will be following you the rest of the way. Be careful & be safe.

[@cydrums3411]

I love Brown County in general.I can't wait to check these trails out this fall! Nice video buddy.

[@cdb3113]

Great you got to ride our hype trails! I tried the old drop in to Schooner like 10 years ago when it was first built and it was limestone armor with a terribly placed tree... Decided after 4 failed attempts and scratching my fork that it was too rich for me. I'll have to go back and redeem myself now!

[@shredder1966]

Getting rid of cash would be terrible. It would allow the government to track all of your purchases and possibly restrict some. It would also incentivize negative interest rates, hyper inflation, and further big bank and big government control and debt spending.

I didn't have my gloves with me, landed that jump, right hand slid off my grip when I landed, weight on the bike was completely off balance, crashed on the left side and smashed my knee into a huge rock on the trail.

[@Gdownification]

One thing I noticed that helped me on Hobbs Hollow the last time I was there was to hit the lip of some of the tabletops on one side vs the middle. Some or them, especially the ones built into or before/after a turn, have a steeper/taller lip on one side, and if you’re comfortable hitting it that gives you a fair bit more air. You just have to treat it like a super mild hip jump. An example is 3:08
