Tech Park, I was chatting to a mate today who watched this and he was commenting on what a banging job you've done Brian. Every trail & every day looks completely different from one another. He was saying how lucky we are to have such diversity in trails all within a stones throw from one another. I sometimes forget how lucky I am and get ungrateful. Thanks for reminding me Buddy. I appreciate it.
Holy techie!! My hands where hurting just watching that. I had no idea Cape town SA had such great singletrack. Thanks showing it to us and introducing us to Wayne's channel. Very cool
Joaquin Bridges hey man - i live in Cape Town - just wanted to make the point that what you are seeing is just one little part of South Africa. It’s a big country and there are trails all over the place. And it’s all extremely diverse. So when seeing this footage one shouldn’t conclude that this is what SA is like. Rather, this is what the cape is like. Apologies for being pedantic 😎
Joaquin Bridges no worries. Check out Pietermaritzburg where Greg Minnaar is from and where the 2013 downhill world champs were held. 1600 km from Cape Town. Could be a different country 😎
Thanks for these amazing videos. Takes me down memory lane too - rode 'Slickrock' 17 years ago. After back problem (Ilac muscle) I am now riding my way back to some sort of fitness doing interval training on my trainer to your inspiring videos. Jane
Those were some impressive skills and feats of strengths on display. You amaze me in every video. Also, the vistas were amazing and trails looked hella fun.
Dude that video is totally insane you had chunk, you were getting bush whacked choppy wind and than you complain about sand in your eyes, hilarious , keep up the good work 😎😎😎
The first part of that Other Woman trail didn't even look like a trail. Looked like you guys were just blazing down the side of a mountain. That was gutsy, man! Beautiful area, though.
Brian, yo! I can see why Ruppert has a hard time getting people to go with him on this trail. Also, I remember in a previous video you saying how much you like rocks. Now??? Looked fun???
Brian!!!! Holy shit bro... Ur goal was to "chase epic trails" I have seen a bunch of ur vids, but I have to say... This ride, surpassed epic, legendary, and lands firmly on mythic.... The view, the wind the clouds, that was amazing... I'm watching it again right now!!! Wayne is going to be the sickest MTB tour guide!
Good morning, Brian. What have you got for us, today? Let's ride bikes. 1:11 - Holy crap, is that hill really that steep? Freaky! 1:31 - Man, that is some serious wind. Did it affect your riding at all? I know on the road it certainly would, but what about on the trail? 1:49 - Hold up! I think this one was posted before. I think this is the video that caused me confusion as to where you were and what order your trip came in. I remember "The Other Woman". That's okay, I don't mind. I like your stuff so much I'll watch it again! haha! BTW, I hope the guy's wife didn't leave him for building that trail. 4:55 - "Where the trails are fun and the bikes are pretty!" 🎶🎸🎹🎤🎶 6:46 - Do you have carbon bars? I can't recall. 9:14 - Those eggs look delicious! I'm pretty sure we've seen this before. I think you may have accidentally made this one available to us last week. At any rate, it's still a great video. But that wind was intense, dude! Crazy! Thanks for sharing this! See you on the trail! -Brian
Hey, in case you're wondering, or may wonder in the future, I have changed the name of my channel. For a couple of reasons which I won't go into here. But I wanted to mention in case you were wondering "who is Free Range MTB"? It's still me. I hope I'm not being narcissistic in assuming you would even notice (you do have a lot of subscribers and commenters). -Brian
Holy cow, what the hell are those switchbacks?! Sure there isn't much room to pick up speed before them, but that's the only thing separating them from proper ramps! Good hop-turn training, though, I suppose if you're into that kind of maneuver. Also, trusting the bike to handle her balance helped a lot today (I don't cycle on trails, but some streets in my city are so messed up and full of potholes it might as well be a colossal MTB circuit). I'm valuing my old adapted hardtail far more than I did before... but not before learning that a department store bike for sure doesn't have a saddlepost that can handle my weight at the height that I need to pedal comfortably; got one on a workplace GAW, and today being the first day I get up to ride it, and the post bent back like a cheap cardboard tube 😒 Off to the bike shop to get a new post, and get a touch up on the brakes while at it. Not like it's too expensive anyway.
BKXC I don't even mind it, really. I got the bike practically for free (just the $20 of the invitation), and I had to take the old one for a gear and brakes touch-up anyway. I consider it an investment for the sake of fun and satisfaction, personal freedom and fuel savings. Besides, the bent post gives me an excuse to upgrade it to a nicer seat :) I'll probably get into hop turns after I build up a bit more confidence. Right now it's time to put into practice Seth's tutorial on how to clean obstacles.
Nate Palmer- -Palmer Productions The Cape is not actually tropical at all. It has a Mediterranean climate. Very dry in summer, with hardly any rain, and a wet and green winter. 😎
I was at the airport yesterday and needed some cheap protein, and decided on McNuggets due to you. You need a sponsorship. time to catch up on your stuff now
Dude! Brian! Seriously bru! U come to cape town and no pre news :( I wouldve digged to ride with you as i have been foloowing your channel of ages now! Next time put something up on social media so we all can hook up riding with you on some more sick trials The Western Province has to offer! :) Keep it flowing man!
Brian, its a shame you didn't include Israel in your recent Africa tour, Israel is not in Africa but its pretty close... hope you can make it next time you'r around.
DAMN, that trail's maniacal!!! Not surprised Rupert has trouble finding anyone to ride it with him! Crazy wind too.
Hahaha pretty fun stuff

Graham Mears yes i realize that. I should have been more specific.

Hahaha yes!

Hey Brian have you ever used goggles in your riding? Love the content man, keep it up!
I HAVE goggles but haven't used em yet! This would have been a good day with all the wind.
BKXC yeah, for sure, really enjoyed all the South Africa stuff, it helps get me out on the bike in the miserable British winter!
Hey Brian u changed your logo thing 😱 WHY NOT BLUE AND GREEN 😭😭😂
Nice clip man how’s the bike going
This is just like deja vu all over again.
Indeed!
I could feel my carpal tunnel, hands totally numb 👍😁✋
Haha, me too!!

3:40.....some local scenery.....
Awesome video why did you change your logo from Blue to Orange
Thanks! I change my logo every few months
BKXC ok thank you fair enough
2:15 - watch out from the tree... LOLOL
Hahaha yep

Heels down!!

Yep I thought it was a new Video, Always watching Bkxc 👍
@BKXC why this video again? 😁
Accidentally uploaded this one before

Ha yep!
Brian, are you using Clipless pedals? If so, you’re a master of the dismount!!
All the time!
Africa honestly looks so fucking badass dude!
Thanks man!
Brian man idk if you see my comment but could you rent/demo SantaCruz Chameleon and do riding commentary on it? Keep up good work! 😉☺️
I'm not big on the hardtails, but if I see one I might ride it!
awesome video
Thanks!
Bryan your the best!
Thanks bud!
I see Africa is trying to beat New Zealand for mind blowing scenery.
Definitely!
Pedal Strike City should be one of your shirts
Haha I like that
Man that was a wrist breaker of a trail.
Big time!!
Even the little beard on the mic isn't stopping the wind!😵
Like trying to stay dry in the ocean!
Why is the logo orange and not blue?
Random question for you... how tall are you and what size is your bronson?
5'10", large!
Ive seen this before 🤔🤔 Still awesome!
Thanks bud!
Yeah, I've already seen this
hey I've seen this one lol
Is there a particular reason why Santa Cruz is so popular in Africa?
Pretty small sample size to make any conclusions about a continent!
Not making any conclusions here. Just asking a question.
sketch fun!!
Haha yes!
We saw this one mate.
I thought so too
hello Brian everybody have Santa Cruz bikes, how is it possible?:)
They like em
How is the bike still in one piece!?
Built for this stuff!
do you have Carbon Handlebars they help immensely!
Yes
rocky af
#bkxc super fun ✌
