Totally agree

I came down here to comment about that freedom too, glad I wasn't the only person to really enjoy that

[@timbershadow1]

I just survived the nasty covid 19 with my brand new Guerrilla Gravity Trail Pistol sitting in my living room. I watched every episode of your 50 state shred and a whole lot more! Thanks for getting me through a tough time and I can't wait to get out and start shredding!!! Thank you for all the awesome content!!!

[@user-nq5wb1cz5e]

Thanks god bro! How are you recovering from it? Have you got energy to go out and ride again?

[@timbershadow1]

Actually doing pretty well, ride 15 miles yesterday, stop and go but went well. The first week was terrible but slowly got better everyday. Today I'm back to work. Fingers crossed it goes well.

[@allocke9446]

Glad that you're OK.

[@chasingepic]

Great choice on bike... I've got mine set up with a 150mm Lyrik and "Pistola" style, so 130mm in the back. I've ridden everything from 30+ mile epics in Sun Valley to the Whole Enchilada in Moab, and it's pretty much perfect.

The part at 14:29 made me tear up a little, not gonna lie. I just found your videos. I’ve been watching mountain biking videos as an escape. I’ve never even been mountain biking, but I’ve wanted to go so badly. Due to COVID, I’m unable to travel very far. I’ve also been working full time and just can’t afford to take any time off. I’m exhausted and burned out, and there is seemingly no end in sight. But you give me hope. Your attitude and enthusiasm made my day. I’ve been in a rut lately but I’m hoping to come out on top. Thank you for this. Wishing you all the best. Stay safe friends.

[@thenigglefish2682]

If you didn’t kill yourself and you still haven’t biked just order a cannondale trail 8. It’s like 550 and a basic bitch bike that’ll handle stuff in a basic way. Then just go ride whenever you can 🤙

[@swupermaario5499]

[@VegasMike1904]

These 50 state shred videos convinced me to go ride in Utah a few weeks ago. Two days of riding beautiful and amazing trails. Life is meant to be lived, go live it.

[@lynxg4641]

Did Doctor Park 4 years ago, Sept 2016 and I loved it so much, I could remember every part of the trail. What I especially liked about it was you'd be flying and then come around a corner and be presented with a serious, chunky tech section with little time to think, just react, pick your line and commit. Was so sweet on my little Phantom with only 105mm of travel in the back, but perfect geo for this type of trail.

[@lynxg4641]

Forgot to also give a little FYI about wet shoes, in case you didn't already know it. If you've got wet shoes, get a newspaper or brown paper and crumple it up, then stuff the shoes tight with it. Leave it for a few hours to draw out the majority of the water/moisture, then remove and make sure they're opened up well and let the air do the rest - if you've got a hair dryer, that helps speed things along. You can even keep the paper and re-use it once it dries out.

“MOUNTAIN BIKIINNNGGG!!” - Brian Kennedy, 2020

[@TheBlackAxe1]

I used to shred around Lake Tahoe on a rigid Bianchi back in the 1990's. I went on a vacation and when I returned home the bike was gone. Someone gave me a rigid Huffy which weighed a bit more, but I still kept up with my buddy on his hard tail with the old school RockShox forks. In fact I watched him endo every time we rode and I was clearing everything and never crashed. I attribute his frequent crashes to having only front suspension. When you land a jump or hop off a log or a rock, there is no place to go but tipping forward and WHOOP! right over the bars. I was faster than him on the downhills, and uphills for that matter. I rode that Huffy into the ground and was without a bike for a few years. Then, on a whim while at Walmart in Kansas with my brother in law, we both decided to buy the Walmart special full suspension bikes. Cheap and heavy as hell, but more fun once I got used to riding with, very stiff, but somewhat noticeable suspension. It was a whole new world compared to a rigid, no suspension bike. Then back in California a couple years later I left my bike at my usual riding partners house for a few months and when I went to get it he said, "Oh. That was YOUR bike? I didn't know so I gave it away." WTF?! Then on a work stint in the Dallas area a few years later, I got another Walmart special. The problem was that in the area I stayed I could only find one small stretch of dirt trails to ride that paralleled a paved creek path for pedestrians and bicycles. When I returned to California in January 2021 I left that bike behind. It's time to get a REAL bike. Now that I finally nailed down a good paying career. Thanks for the encouragement to get back out there! Love your content.

[@AydensVids]

I grew up riding some local trails (I'm in the uk) But I have pretty bad hyper mobility in my knees and ankles. Now every time I try to ride I end up damaging my knees in one way or another. I really miss riding, but this channel has been really nice to watch and remember the fun I had riding :3

[@jesussoto6855]

So sad man nothin u can do about it? theraphy or surgery?

[@AydensVids]

@Jesus Soto I'm afraid not but I got a peddle assisted electric bike about a year ago and omg I've got my life back :) I still have to take it easy some times and I have hurt my self a couple times lol, but if I'm not stupid about it I can ride all I want, it's great!

[@GrizDrummer25]

Love your push to get people out riding! It really is why I watch - to get inspired to go out on my own bike, even if just for 20-30 mins :)

[@TaggalongMTB247]

Doctors park NEVER gets old! My favorite is shuttling to the top of Bear and finishing with Docs. Cheers!!!

[@niteryder50]

When you get those perfect trails few things beat riding a bike, nice you back riding awesome looking trails rather than the not so amazing flatter stuff. Just back from 3 back to back weekends of bike trips but makes me want to go away again eventhough amazing trails outside my door, gotta ride tomorrow whatever the weather.

[@ShakeNShred]

Doctor Park is one of the trails on my MTB Bucket list, so I WILL do it next year, once I recover from hip surgery!

[@ccbean1980]

I just rode this for the first time a few weeks ago. All the leaves were turning, it was epic! One of my favorite trails ever. If you’re still in Colorado check out pipeline descent near pikes peak. Actually, it’s probably too late for that due to the snow... next trip I guess.

[@barnchop]

Unbelievable trails and scenery, the best yet. What an advert, MTB at it’s best. Cheers for sharing.

I used to live in mid of nowhere michigan and while yes we have good trails for the midwest I could never get out and do this like Brian always says... so I moved to Colorado a few months ago. Best decision of my life. Guys, you can make it even better than Brian says. Instead of making a trip happen, just MOVE here!

I was there in September riding around crested butte for a couple of days & my camp was right @ the end of the doctor park trail. It was very convenient after a long day of riding. Plus it was pretty cool to chill with a beer in hand after the ride & watch other riders coming down that very technical switchback section at the end of the trail.

[@NorCal_In_AZ]

Well I can't go to CO and ride right now, but its 70* in the middle of the day in Phoenix, think I'll go ride my bike now. Just the inspiration I needed.

[@rexgoboom6270]

Tomorrow I’m getting my first real mountain bike and apparently it’s really good. I don’t know that much about mountain bikes, but I know how to use them! And my brother is a nerd about it and my dad knows allot too. So I’m really excited, and we might be moving to Colorado! So I’m excited really excited. Edit: it’s amazing! The only problem is is the front gears don’t work, and the 7th gear on the back doesn’t work.

[@A-Kiwi]

WOW! Those trails just look Amazing!! Beautiful scenery and I am so impressed with th eamazing trails you get to ride. I am in Europe, and around the south of Germany we definitely have some great trails, but not as long or extensive and well maintained like some of the ones you have shown in your 50 state schred series. Thanks for sharing. Off biking tomorrow (Saturday). the weather is meant to warm up a little here in Germany.
