    It's interesting that you said "Some magic out here." My wife and I backpacked up Greens Creek for an overnight trip years ago and forgot to bring spoons. After eating a dinner of pasta using sticks with the bark peeled off as chopsticks, we went for a walk around the campsite and found two stainless steel spoons in perfect condition. The find not only made the next morning's oatmeal much easier to eat, but it really made me think that there is a higher power. I've brought one of those spoons with me to work or school just about every day for the past 17 years.

    I was off TH-cam for a while ,I went elk hunting in Montana ,then had a lot of work to catch up on when I got back. I just caught up with all your videos of sept today ,I recieved the "red" shirt already. You do know oatmeal ,beer and whiskey is the breakfast of champions ! Awesome ride you guys were flying the rocks looked like a blur! I didn't comment on your other videos but they were all cool and very scenic, bummer on your back wheel , but hey now you have some better ones.
    The breathing sound you heard of an animal may have been deer snort warning when they are startled and alert the other deer in the area.
    Also mountain lions I have seen 3 so far in the last 16 years they are very elusive but it's fast glimpse as they disappear in woods. The day you see one will be pretty awesome experience . Excellent videos as usual 👍

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much for the awesome comment, Roger! Sounds like you're out there living the dream too. Deer snort makes a lot of sense, we must have been so close without noticing each other.

    I rode the same segment of trail, as well as Marshall pass to silver creek last July. My buddy got a flat in almost the same exact spot and I ripped off my derailleur about a mile from the road. It's so much gnarlier than can be relayed through these videos.

  • @SoCalianSD1

  • @mtnhighs
    @mtnhighs 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Brian, great video! I've been a fan of your videos and have been watching since you had around 500 subs. First of all, really enjoyed this last video. Loved the banter between you two and the length of the ride and epic quality of the scenery make it worth the price of $.25 per video. This last video has me seriously contemplating sponsoring your channel. Good job.
    Second, I wanted to share how much living vicariously through your recorded adventures has helped me recently. The love of my life passed away recently after a two year long struggle with brain cancer. Toward the end of her battle, I retired my ten year old Blur and built up my dream bike: Ibis Ripley LS ( not a fan of your Oregon Ibis impression by the way - ;) )with full XTR, Hadley hubs, Chris King headset, Next SL G4 cranks, you name it, it's probably on there. It sat in the garage while I tended to my love's needs but, when she slept, I often would load your channel and watch you ride "the greatest trails in the world" as a form of escape and pleasure during an otherwise challenging time. I wanted to thank you for that as it was, often, a tremendous relief to be able to experience the trail and allow my worries and angst to slip away for a few moments. Thank you.
    Lastly, I live in Prescott, AZ and I've seen three mountain lions over the past 12 years. Never on my bike thankfully, but once hiking on a trail I've frequently ridden. I had just passed through a narrow, foliage filled gully and, for reasons unknown, I decided to stop, take off my pack and turn around. Not twenty seconds later a big cat comes right out of that ravine and is trotting at a good pace about forty-five degrees obliquely away from me. It made me freeze with terror and immediately got that electric endocrine dump down my spine. It's tail alone was thicker than my leg. It's said we have one of the highest concentrations of wild Cougars in the Western Hemisphere in this area. The Prescott national forest terrain and large slabs of granite make for a perfect habitat.
    At any rate, thanks again for your quality channel, amiable personality and adventurous videos. I'll definitely keep watching and spreading the word. We have excellent riding in Prescott and are just a short drive from Sedona and Flagstaff. You should head out this way sometime. I recently rode Mescal and Chuckwagon with your videos as my impetus to get out there and enjoy life. Hope to see you one day out on the trail.
    Matt

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much for the nice note, Matthew, it really touched me. It's amazing that my videos could have such an impact on you in such a difficult time. Your bike sounds amazing, I hope you're getting out on it as much as you can! Sedona is at the top of my list. How's the riding out there in November? Can you shoot me an email bk@bk-xc.com with an idea of some great trails to ride in AZ during the winter?

      +BK-XC Hey Brian- nice, but I gotta say I'm really looking forward to that porcupine rim video. Btw, how would you say the 29ers you've ridden been at cornering vs 27.5 ? I'm starting to think 29 for my next bike, but don't wanna sacrifice agility too much. Thanks, man!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I really don't have enough miles on 29ers to say. The Ibis Ripley ride in Oregon didn't give me enough to feel the bike out. This ride gave me a ton of fun stuff to feel the bike out and it was great. Ya gotta try to get some test rides on your local trails. It's worth it to know for yourself.

    • @mannyfnsc29
      @mannyfnsc29 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep thanks.. I'll definitely be testing some. Wish I could ride some of those trails.. between hunting season and colder weather approaching here (eventually), it's gonna get harder to ride. Anyway, keep livin' that dream. As always..great stuff!

    Copy that Brian... makes sense.
    Hey, wanted you to know that I found your channel when I was researching the Santa Cruz Hightower to purchase. Your video on it helped that decision along. I eventually demoed a Hightower 27.5 Plus, fell in love, and bought one. I got a 29er wheel set(I9 Trail S) for it too and equally love that set up. If you ever get a chance to demo a Hightower 29er, do yourself a favor. I think you'll enjoy the ride.
    Peace!

    • @bkxc

      Awesome!! I always love hearing how people found my channel and that I helped them find a bike they really like.

    I shed a tear every time I watch one of your Colorado adventures. It's been 24 years since I lived there, miss it like no other. Question. after riding there at 10k plus feet for a week or so, once home, do you feel like you could ride all day long?

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      What a great state! Once I got back from this trip I went on a vacation and didn't get to ride for a while, so I didn't get to test my fitness at sea level!!! I was so bummed. I was going to kill my old times.

    I am right there with you on wanting to see a mountain lion. I have seen tons of footprints and carcasses out on trails both in CA and in Oregon but I have yet to see the actual beast. I'm pretty sure I'll scream when I finally see one.

      +BKXC I got into mtb about a year ago and started racing this year. disclaimer. ..I am slow and overweight and 35 already but am having a blast...started riding about 15 to 20 miles every other day to try to get more leg strength and shed some of this weight for next year. by the way i ride a specialized epic wc for my xc riding. I love it but that is my first full suspension to. how did you like the one you rode?

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 ปีที่แล้ว

    What GoPro settings do you typically film with and which attachment on your gimbal do you hook into the chesty (backplate mount or the one on the bottom of gimbal)? Videos are looking good!

    Brian, would it be possible to do a shuttle like you did, then go down Fooses. Climb back up, and hit Greens Creek. Or would that just be a hell of a lot of riding and a very difficult climb back up Fooses? Trying to plan for a trip this weekend to Salida.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It would be a hell of a climb at a hellacious elevation, but people do it.
