They're not afraid to get SKETCHY out here 🇯🇵 Mountain Biking Japan

[@mtbyumyum]

I actually really enjoy the off bike portion even more than the riding! Thanks for bringing us along!

Thanks dude!

[@eddgrs9193]

Yeah, I would like to see more off bike stuff.

[@scottibass]

love it! you travel blogs are the best. I like how it involves a little bit of local culture and a lot of riding!

[@davidmair5164]

I am slacking and am really enjoying catching up with your Japan vidoes. A country i have always dreamed to visit, just such a diffrent and unique culture. Also the riding looks awesome. Getting me stocked to travel and to get out on the bike as always Brian.

[@Spack005]

This is probably my favorite series. I love the off bike parts too. Crazy gully trails!

[@reed.k.h]

Love the combination of sweet riding and helpful hints. You’ve helped inspire me to start my own adventure channel! Thanks!

[@soekotjock]

For those who dont know,Sammo Hung is Hongkong action star,active mainly in ln late 70's untill early 90's Usually play a role as a fat,funny and kind uncle/big brother that noone knows he's pretty much expert at martial arts until the situation gone dire...

[@KK-uo5sl]

Love your videos, keep making these great trail vids they are great, just got a new kono and u inspired me to get me into riding

[@Mabaz]

dude Japan is magical, beautiful forest trails, good food and hentai. What a time to be alive!

[@phillipkim7063]

I love the small stuff u explore and explain that makes the channel very unique!

[@bkxc]

Thanks dude!!

[@beastman101]

Brian, catching up on these, didn't have a chance to watch them as you were uploading. Gotta say, this is an incredible little series you've put together! Glad you are incorporating the meals and other little cultural quirks you are coming across. I definitely want to do this trip now, keep up the great work man!

[@RonClouds]

I think 7/11 should sponsor you with all the free ads you do for them on your vids 😄😄

[@vtm914]

Okonomiyaki at 16:23- That’s the bomb post ride meal- get some!

[@dgarage9]

I'm loving these Japan videos! So good! Just did my first mountain bike ride last week. You guys make it look so easy. hahaha

[@Mr89siR]

Just like you talked about in this vid, you, seth, and sampler, got me back into mtb after a 15 year break.so much has changed! Now ive been to Bentonville 4 times, all over pisgah, and every surrounding state near me.planning a trip further out west now.all thanks to you guys!

[@bkxc]

That's awesome dude!!

[@mtbst]

Great stuff, love the Japan series so far Brian

[@ericramosmd]

Some of the best trails I’ve seen. Amazing!!!

[@abdullahabd7677]

5:33 my heart just dropped

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

The trails looks awesome even after a night of rain, ours would have been closed for a week! The sights, sounds and views are why I'm really here, maybe the 7-11 too.......

[@amgoatee3700]

Best series ever Brian

[@5492sparky]

Brilliant series so far Brian.

[@capamerica8453]

I also like adjusting my brake bite. It helps to not do so much nervous braking because I have to pull further to actually engage.

[@bkxc]

Exactly!

[@flowinnature8235]

Got myself a xt front break and did it right away after swaping it, but that adjustment knob is pretty nice, if needed to adjust on the trail, i needed an allen key on my previous brakes 😒

[@MTBPlaygrounds]

My daughter really likes that coolish! nice ride Brian! Never been on that trail but that trail is so nice!

[@KDog2264]

Another great video by you, thanks Brian.

[@williamvangorden44]

Japan is sick trails, I've seen some videos that they go pretty much all year around even in the snow that is sick kudos Japan!! I don't know if you seen any videos Brian, before you got there but the way that they are riding now is the way that they ride in the snow sick!!!

[@andrewspangenberg]

Quality as always Brian. Thanks for yet another epic adventure.

Oh I want to go back! Glad to see you had a good time.

[@mtbtracks]

keep traveling and working hard, hugs from spain!

[@go0s8]

I could watch your videos forever

[@buraburayama6883]

Seeing AJ ride is such a bliss. Some of these old (sorry AJ) Japanese guys have a crazy style. Like nose wheelie all down the trail. AJ also has it's own bike brand GONZO'S PERFORMANCE, and he recently put out a super versatile hard tail called "trail screamer". I did an interview with him, in which we also delved into the background of his nick name. Check it out while waiting for the next episode of BKXC.

[@carlosortegon1239]

Burabura Yama ぶらぶら山 AJ is awesome! Humble yet very knowledgeable. Love the guy. He has ridden down all of the BKXC stops on a hard tail.

[@AFugax]

Trails look great, cultural experience even more great! The whole experience =awesome!

[@luanels683]

Man this is a trip I would love to do!! Love the videos!

[@jonthemountainbikingviking4127]

Woo!! Another vid! Love it! Time wasting on a Monday! 🙌🙌

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Interesting reading material 🤣😂🤣. Loved the gully shout trail. I'm dryer conditions I can see myself ripping down that heavy.

[@MBOA]

That hentai magazine got me good. I was not ready at all.

[@PaulV3D]

Awesome series dude!

[@BlueSkyse]

lucky, I have always wanted to go to japan. I am getting into mountain biking now and that just makes it even better, lol.

The paddy fields usually have fish (loaches) which help control pests like mosquito larva and fertilize the rice - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice-fish_system

jajaja so good video love the jumptrail! now feel motivated what gest me going the longest while bike is delta parole or other rokk music!

[@RogerThatFilms]

I love how clear your videos look. I'm having issues with videos looking horrible once they are uploaded on to KZbin. Any advice on settings to get better quality on youtube? Thanks.

[@bkxc]

Record and upload in 4k

[@RogerThatFilms]

@@bkxc thanks, but if I can ask a little more of a specific question, do you just use a really high bit rate and let youtube compress your upload? I tried using what youtube suggests 4k 24p at 40Mbps, but still doesn't look great.

[@OGMTB]

There seems to be a lot of those chute/rollercoaster kind of trail in Japan. BCPOV had a couple of vids with those type as well. As usual 👍🚴‍♂️

[@ZacHigham]

You have the best job ever

[@xavineira9403]

Great video!

[@davidrae8475]

The adjuster pointed out is in fact the reach adjustment for Shimano brakes. Bit point is "supposed" to be adjusted by the philips head screw... but it really does nothing. This something Shimano have not sorted out to date on their brakes compared to SRAM.

[@ofiros396]

Yo brian do i need to be a patreon to see some of those mag pictures? Sick trails! And those riders are insane i like the sloppy ride style

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha!

Just got done binge watching the Tibet series, and this came....awesome!😎👊👊👊👍👍👍

[@williamvangorden44]

Prior to ride in mountain bikes I did not know it's real big in Japan and pretty much all over the world thought it was an isolated to a certain parts of the world but it's great to know that everyone around the world enjoys the same sport. If you're not smiling you didn't do it right..

[@niq872]

yea i was surprised to learn that there were 2 places near me that you could ride at and i lived here for 8 years

@@williamvangorden44 aw im GA

[@FreakShowExcess10]

Maybe it's just the camera, but do your wrists usually bend back like that all the time? If so, maybe roll your bars and levers forward a mm or so to keep them neutral and straight. As someone who rides mountain bikes I know riding is dynamic and a straight wrist isn't always possible, but it might help...

[@goosedawgg]

I seriously believed you were gonna hit that ramp. Holy cow!

It's awesome how you interact with the culture. Of course the riding! But it's a great way to get to know different cultures and theirway of life. An Anthony Bourdain but mnt biker BKXC! 👍✌

Gotta get those "essentials" for proper biking at that last 7-11!!!

[@bt147258]

Awesome videos..

[@michae8jackson378]

Best gully action ever, glad you cleared a couple of logs. If they’d clear all those others that stop the flow.....

[@Tumid1]

Good on you for setting an example of clearing debris that will make the trail better for others. So many people think "They'll" clear the trail & no one does. Don't expect the "authorities" to do their jobs. Where I ride trails only get cleared by riders, never by the state workers.

[@luanpham2072]

C'mon Brian you know what chicken feet looks like! Loving the Japan vids so far, keep 'em coming.

Yah, just look down.
