So much has changed in Tasmania! Blue Derby was just the beginning, there are now so many more trails!
No joke was thinking about how dope of a track that looks like right before you said how much I would love it. The 3 different runs look like perfect progressions and real nice complements of each other!
PS. You seem to have the roll to the back and protect the gimbal setup dialed.... gonna have to get you to give me a lesson on that one 😝
Such an awesome setup with the three shuttles! Hahaha, I think those are the only two times I've somehow landed on my back. Maybe because everything is upside down in Australia?
¡ǝʇɐɯ ʇɥƃıɹ ooʇ
you should come to australia and try it out some time alex.
Come to tassie Alex
love how you always leave your little spills in instead of editing them out. what an amazing trail !!!
Keeping it real!! Glad you dig it
Hey Brian, it's not the wrong side of the road, just the other side :)
Hahaha, we're both wrong!
Being an Aussie I had to laugh at the old dood dropping the F bomb 😂
I'm so keen for the EWS over in Tassie, Awesome seeing you travel where not many MTB TH-camr's have... Can't wait for the next adventure!!
Thanks so much!
Love the little 3 minute intro!! Ads a little taste of your amazing lifestyle! Keep up the great work brother!
Awesome, I'm going to keep doing some vlog style stuff.
Hats off to the World Trail crew, the work they've done is phenomenal. You were lucky with the weather.
DEFINITELY! Such a nice job.
O man sick trails up there. derby is my spirit home.
thanks again for being awesome.
I can't just to see buck again. just a true Tasy gentleman.
Thanks for the love!! Buck is a really cool dude.
Another great video Brian. 3 years to get those trails is amazing. I appreciate the fact you don't edit out your crashes. Stay healthy and keep it up. But ground beef and red sauce?
Thanks man!
Was really sweet seeing you feature an Australian trail, I always forget the Australian trails
Great vid dude! Nothing better than exploring a map of Tassie. Just dive deep in the bush and go hell for leather!
DOM PIERRE
That sounds like a ton of fun! And I love that expression "hell for leather" haha
+BKXC what about the expression map of tassie
Holy crap Brian, this video was awesome, and I really like the annotations on screen of the trail names! One of the coolest parts to me about your YT channel is that we get to see how you progress as a rider. We are all one big MTB family and it's great to see other people get better. It seems like there's nothing stopping you when it comes to staying grounded on the trail and you are able to carry good speed through technical sections. Very inspirational to me and I'm sure plenty of other viewers!! Keep it up dude!
Thanks so much for all the kind words, Alex! I love getting better and having you guys see the improvement.
Yeah buddy!!
Nice Video!! You keep missing the little jumps on the trails. You gotta hit those...SEND IT !!
well I will say if he has never ridden the trail before it would be tough to do.
Welcome to the channel
I imagine you'd have to be a bit conservative with your riding when an injury would mean you can't make any videos, and therefore money, for weeks or even months.
Shredn' Tread his T-shirt does say "Riding Blind" on it!
HAHA yes I am aware of his T Shirt...and it is so true. Like I said it would be hard riding a trail the first time to hit the jumps. I am sure BKXC will get there one day. Maybe Nate Hills and him will get together and Nate can show him some things.
I love the fact that even when you have some big off's it doesn't slow you down fantastic video Bri.
Thanks man! Gotta keep going!
I like how your videos aren't front loaded with a long branded introduction or plea for likes or subscribes. Just straight to the great content!
Thanks Peter!
Bro, finally driving on the right side of the road! Tassie looks so sick...
Haha, if it's right why does it feel so wrong, Scotty?!
We didn't get to ride all of these trails when we were there in Feb which just shows the vastness of the network - Looking forward to going back and spending a whole week there.
Me too!! They didn't reveal the EWS tracks yet when I was there
BKXC we had a big group of friends. Some newbies so we kept it pretty blue. Will definitely try those EWS trails next time.
They have Woolworth's there?! I remember those from when I was a kid. You rock man!
Hahaha, yeah it's kinda like a bizarro Woolworth's, like if Sears was a frozen yogurt shop. I thought Woolworth's was more like a JC Penney back in the day.
Brian, thank you for making these videos. Really. I have lived in northern Victoria for most of my life and have ridden Falls Creek, but your Bright video and this video have got me amped to take time off work to ride these places. You really do ride the best trails in the world, so seeing you ride and enjoy these trails so much has made me set goals to improve my fitness and then go to these places!
Please keep doing what you're doing mate, and I hope to see more videos from Australian trails in the future?
Cheers!
Thanks so much dude, this is exactly what this channel is all about. Inspiring you to get out and ride. I'll be back to Oz eventually!
Man this is a FlowRiders dream. Great footage as always. Love watching this channel grow to what it has become. Been here since about 10k and to see you about to hit 50k soon is pretty incredible. Keep up the great work Brian!
Thanks for sticking around and coming with me, dude. I'm going to keep pushing and keep living the dream, I can't wait to see where it goes.
Love the videos where we see all the stuff from getting there to hitting the trails love it bro keep it up
Thanks Killian, definitely want to keep adding the vlog style stuff
this is by far my favorite video, Ice watched all your videos and I'm from Phoenix AZ they're a few spots here and there but this place looks sooo smooth!
That's awesome to hear, dude!!
Those trails look incredible man!
The real deal, dude!
Brian man, you should definitely come back down whenever you have time and ride at Thredbo in the snowy mountains, there are some sick trails there!
Awesome to see this one! I'm heading there this weekend for EWS. Going to do the Blue Tier, should be a blast! That older fella was classic Tassie!!!
Hell yeah! I hope there's some good footage from the race.
This right here seems like the coolest trailset you've ridden on in any of your videos. Badass man
It was a dream! Glad you dug it
your pumping has improved so much, the speed ur getting of those things is amazing, nice one
Thanks bud!
Awesome video mate! One point - it isn't lunchestan, it's launceston, pronounced LON-ses-tun.
Great Video Brian, keep them coming. Keen to see the rest of the Derby stuff. Hope to see you back in Oz, the entire east coast has great trails which make for an epic road trip!
Too much good stuff!!
I'd just love to see you return with Seth and Alex. There were several rocks which could seriously eff you up on those trails! Another great vid! Keep 'em comin'!
Yeah, gotta get them out there!
Another good one! 13:00 picking some great lines on those rocks boy!
Whewww baby! It was a fun one
Fricken awesome trails Brian!! Keep posting these beauties, love watching all winter, gets me jacked to ride!!
Thanks Grant!! One step closer to sunshine every day!
freaken class video, great style with the vlog bits, trails looked mad good, definitely would love to go there
and holy shit ur close to 50k!
Thanks Troy! I am digging doing the vlog stuff. Getting oh so close!
Extra-length video :D! Those were some really awesome trails, man. It's easy to see that you had a blast. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, dude!!
Brilliant Brian
Living the dream
I loled at bucks response
You'll have the whole of America here
Nice
Hahaha, bring 'em over in droves!
Wow that looked awesome! I want to go there now!! Even with the falls your riding is getting so much better so fast! Great job!
Thanks Gary!! I feel like I'm still progressing, it's a great feeling.
So cool to see you having a great time here!
It was a blast!
I really enjoy watching your videos man ! We can really feel the love in what you're doing ! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks so much, it really means a lot!
Great video, loved the background on the accoms, food, spiders etc. Trails look awesome too.
Thanks dude!
Holy crap those trails look fun! Great video Brian!
TONS of fun! I cannot wait to go back there.
Brian you killed it! I don't know how you ride so fast having never ridden these trails before! 👍🏽 nice work!
Thanks man! It was such a good ride
What an amazing place to ride!?! Thanks for taking us along!
It was one of the best so far!!
Very nice trails, I like how the vegetations are so different from our trails here SoCal, it's like riding in the Avatar world. Good adventures Brian.
Haha that's a perfect description!
That's a beautiful place! Love those giant prehistoric ferns!
Such an awesome place from top to bottom!
Great vid, BK! Probably my fav. Blue Derby looks sooooo f'n sick
Thanks so much, dude!
Such an awesome trail! I have to admit I admire your ability to stay upbeat and positive when you crash. I always get pissed and cuss and stuff haha!
Hahaha, I think I'm always grateful to have survived!
Your edit get's better and better super cool flow trail
Thanks man, I appreciate that so much!
That was so freaking awesome! Also great intro to the video and tidbits of information! Sweet! 🤘😎
Awesome, glad you liked it Edd!
yes you got to get the oceans 11 team together for this one next winter would be one wild ride
Hahaha yes
Holy crap that trail looks awesome!!
What a trail system. 3 years to build. EWS on it's way. Pretty amazing.
@11:21 I knew it before it happened. I have seen that all too many times myself with the same results. Always glad to see you get right back on. Other one caught me by total surprise.
I can see doing the same trail 2-3 times in a row just to take advantage of the many alternate line choices.
I have been wanting a ShockWiz myself but that's quite a bit of money to drop on something that gets used so rarely. Perhaps I can talk my LBS into getting one for renting out or something.
Completely amazing to build something so great in 3 years! Haha, where were you to keep me from crashing?? Still catching up on email, so I'll keep in touch about riding.
No worries.
That place looks so rad. I want a "Blue Derby" in America. Preferably on the East Coast. Great video as always. Thanks BK.
Somebody will build one!
Great video! I liked more of the vlog style you used. Also putting the trail names in the corner was a good idea.
Thanks man! I'm gonna keep trying this style
Thanks for the trail preview,on our bucket list for next year "Strewth" "She'll be right!!" 😂😂😂🍻
Thanks again!
Blue Durby looks solid. Good stuff!
Very solid!!
Some incredible trails for sure. Fun stuff.
Thanks !!
NICE NICE NICE!!!!!! another sick trail man!
Thanks bud!!
Great to see you in my home state 👍🏼. I love those trails at Derby, so many options. Racing there this weekend in the EWS challenger race!!!
Good luck dude!!
Berms and Ferns looked like you were riding through Jurassic Park... some of the coolest trails so far I think. Keep kickin ass!
Seriously creepy jungle!! Thanks so much Jeremy
Sweet riding on some exotic looking trails! Amazing how smooth you and the stabilizer make these tracks look when you can clearly see how gnarly they are. Some of the ferny bits look much like some of our trails on Vancouver Island. I hope you've got some knee and elbow pads - that last fall didn't look fun. Keep the quality content flowing! I've bought into your patreon kool aid to help you out.
Always on the knee pads now!! Thanks for supporting me and keeping this thing going!
so they built this in 3 years....uggg....so nice. great vid as usual. keep up the great work.
Now that's just straight up amazing!
Thanks bud!
"On the wrong side of the road for the first time" - You mean the correct side of the road haha. Nice Vid, keep 'em coming!
Hahaha, I stand corrected!
So Flowy and Sick!!! Nice shots!!!
Nice new avatar!! Thanks for the love
I'm liking the Vlog style !
Thanks man! Working on doing it more and it's fun!
That was awesome again. Unusual to see you wiping out so much. Must be pushing on but don't hurt yourself ffs! Missing the cacti and desert now! Get back to the USA!
Hahaha, yeah a too soft spot and a too hard spot! Thanks Luke
thanks for sharing, that trail looked amazing.
Thanks Eugene!
Airbnb is often a good choice for a travelling mountain biker. I have used it couple of times. Better than staying at a hotel without proper storage space.
Definitely! Some really interesting spots to stay.
That bike is just sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttt!!!!!! Can't wait to get my 5010 !,,,,
Thanks bud!
Dude, these trails look like sooooo much fun :)
They're pretty amazing!
Man, that looks awesome. Bet you had a blast!!
Thanks Mark, it was a gooood day!
6:25 Yosemite action. I'm come from Yosemite that is where I learned how to ride. That was 20yrs ago.
Oh wow! Very cool
The last two days, I have started thinking I need to move to Tasmania. Not so hot or cold as here in Canberra, beautiful lush trails everywhere, and I was looking at the associate degree in furniture making from UTAS...
I can dream :-)
Took a nice spill! Look beautiful out there.
Haha, a couple of 'em!
Great video man! I have been watching u for a while now and u are doing a great job! Just keep it up as always! Love ya
I appreciate it so much!! Thanks
After New zealand i said wouah.After Australia i said wouah wouah.But here OMG wouah wouah wouah! For me its'the most beautiful tracks you've done.
Hahaha, all wouah'd out!!
looks ace 23 stitches looked like it had some cool jumps
drumandbassob0007 It has some really big gap jumps, it's awesome
Definitely a sweet place!
Brian, your videos are sick nasty dude! It's fun to see everywhere that you ride and who you ride with. I'm actually working on building my mountain bike with new parts and components and I hope it's ready to ride I can start shooting video of my rides as well!
Hell yeah! Thanks so much, dude
dope Brian! living the dream!
Thanks Tommy!
14:29 Choked on my food wen you pop out infront of the camera HAha thought you broke your neck or something.
Hahaha special guest appearance by my face
Big weekend coming up for Derby, The Cedar House and Cedar Cottage are booked up by the race teams, just got some pics of the bike storage and its still getting more finishing touches, bike hooks and helmets hangers and all new flooring.
Still bummed out i didn't get to ride with you and now with my broken arm I'm going to miss out on Racing the EWS this weekend. DANG IT!!
Great work on the vids mate, trails look mint and smooth footage with the Gimbal.
Argh, always something man! Get well soon!
some really cool looking "jungle" trails..cool stuff..
It was a good one!
Best trails I've ever ridden!
😁👍
I’m a local, I go out and ride trail on the weekends every fortnight, and it is AMAZING
Nice!
that trail looks sick, awesome video bro
😁👍
I guess I spoke too soon on your last video. Haha. Love seeing where you're staying, what you're eating AND what you're riding.
Yeah man, gonna try to keep telling the whole story!
I can't wait to see how good the Shockwiz + DVO Suspension + DVO's Suspension Tuning forum can get a bike dialed in quickly.
I figure that video will be 'coming soon', as soon as you can get hooked up with a pair of them.
Yeah, I've gotta get one!
Great video as always man! really nice to see the building up of the Bronson and where you happen to be staying. Ever thought about coming to the UK? From Fort William, Bike Park Wales, Dalby Forest, Cannok Chase, Forest of Dean plus loads more. See you on the trail!
Definitely hoping to get to the U.K. next year!! We shall see
12:35 that's the plan, although at the moment with COVID I can't even go further than 25km from my home in Victoria, so can't get down to Tassie.
I live in tassie and the trails are great
Brian, were you surprised at all just how many Aussie viewers and supporters you have? Seems a lot have shown themselves in the comments on these recent uploads. Ps. Loved seeing you enjoy our amazing country.
Yeah man, it's amazing to think people are watching from all over the world. Really amazing.
Wow great video got to hit them jumps!!! Cool 😎👍
Thanks man!
man dow twice , good video buddy ,trail looks awesome..
Haha, man down, down under!! Thanks Juan
great video! that looks like an amazing place to ride!
It was a friggin sweet spot!
Just finished 6 days in Derby! Amazing tracks 🤙🏼
Wow, that's awesome!!
No way did i know you were here. Awaesome bro
Holy sweet singletrack Batman!! That looks awesome. It looks lush and flowy. This makes me want to check it out. Did you learn any of the Aussie history while you were over there, regarding the colonies and convicts etc? Fascinating stuff.
It was such a cool place! Always more to see and learn that I missed. Just makes me want to go right back!
Great riding Brian. Those trails look awesome! No snakes hey?
Not one dang snake! I was promised snakes!
Damn that was so awesome. I gotta get out to Tasmania now...
Thanks Nathan!
