Hey Brian! It was great hosting you on our trails - can't wait to see the next couple of videos, we know they will be good! By the way - you have a really good internal altimeter! When you're asking on the video at about 10:20 where zero elevation might be, you're just about 50-100 feet above, well done :)
First monologue Brian… Man, that hit hard and because it is truth, I align myself with your thoughts. We should cherish each other, not kill each other. Yes, we are different, we will remain different, even if there is only one country on Earth. Different regions create different people… Peace. ✌️
There are a lot of single tracks in the Holy Land. Get in touch if you're coming, I can hook you up with top notch riders here. The Sea of Galilee, the Mediterranean Sea, the mountains of Jerusalem, and the Dead Sea through the desert to the Red Sea, so many landscapes in such a small area.
Been a few years since I seen any videos. Had a bad accident and am sad about not many reasons I can't get on a bike yet. Watching this video rekindled something in me. This summer I am getting my feet on some pedals and setting sights on the horizons. Thanks for still doing this to this day.
Glad you had a good time! It's an incredible trail network and always a blast! When we ride there, it's always a pleasure to be greeted by the team of Palestinian drivers who wait for you, smiling, always happy to take you back to the top. Makes me hopeful of better times between our people.
Apparently, according to my overseas worker friends, Saudi Arabia has a thriving enduro scene with this exact kind of terrain. That is honestly super sick!
That's rad what you did with post production on this (mentioned in the livestream I think). I saw you post some houses in Bentonville, I live here now, if you're visiting let's ride something new!
I wasn't expecting this - hadn't really considered this as an mtb location. But it looks great! Perhaps the Middle East has a lot of hidden cycling gems...
@@netac7667 they actually do mountain biking in North Korea as well as road cycling tours. You need to pass a test to ride there although I’m not sure that is for visitors.
I've definitely looked into the North Korea tours! It'd be really interesting to see it before it all falls apart. I didn't actually see any MTB stuff, though, just beach cruiser type riding.
Brian, welcome to Israel🎉 The Suger trail is an Israeli classic. It'd actually based on an antient camel trail between the Dead Sea and Jerusalem. Thanks for the great video. Arik
Dear BXXC, I am really glad you came to Israel, We have many other tracks you can explore especially near Jerusalem, as i wrote to you many years ago you welcomed to visit me here in Mevaseret Zion and go with me to several different paths, the best one is called "Ein-Rafa" and has very nice nature and flowers. (I have a room for visitors) The weather is bad today but tomorrow should be better , all the best Eli.🥶
It's really nice the way that you tried to explain about the only trail in my country Palestine but the truth is that many riders here are suffering because of the Israeli obstacles that prevent them from riding freely. Best of luck, wish to see you again here😊
@@yo7anan I know there are many trails inside Israel but in Palestinian side, Sugar trail is the only trail for Palestinian riders here, unfortunately because check points that prevents them to try the Israeli trails. However, for me because I work and I live in Jerusalem I can go wherever I want but the Palestinians can't. With respect
I LOVE your videos and the different places you ride!! However, on the AG1 … I’m sure it is a good product, but I can almost bet you would not be using it if you weren’t sponsored by them (meaning getting it for FREE). There is NO WAY I would pay $80-$90 for that!! 😲😬💰
Oh my friend, you have so many people watching your videos. You didn't have to get involved into politics. There is not such a nation at the UN called "The Palestinian State", when you took a plane you landed at the State of Israel, and so was your passaport stamped. You didn't have to go through a border to get to the Sugar Trail. It is sad your stand in front of so many viewers worlwide. Other youtube riders have been there, and nobody had called the area The Palestinian State.

You are so good at what you do and I am glad you are out there. For a guy who has been on the road a lot lately an let my ride routine slip, you are inspiration. Thank you, Sir - as well as for your good sense and spirit of diplomacy with this one.
I am new to your channel. I love your videos so much and your absolute outgoing and I love that. You really got me more into mountain biking it looks like the best therapy want something new I just don't know what kind of bike to start with⛰️🚲❤
That actually happens from time to time but definetly not on a large enough scale... If everyone were riding bikes we would all probably get along perfectly.
@@Ridebox_MTB Riding in a place common with others is a great unifier of people. All the differences do not matter. It is about the ride. Cars are dividers of culture. Bikes and public transportation are the way to go. Human connection is the key... all the good and the bad. Also, and most importantly, it helps the environment.
Brian's out here shredding inca trails and Jesus trails within months and I've barely even got my bike out this year. Motivation starts now!
It's still snowing here. Crazy cold year so far
For a cheap easy trip... Portugal you can ride all year long and its currently 28 C in the mid country... amazing bike weather here!
@@bikesandbeans Brazil is the same, Canastra you will have 300 days per year of riding... Flights from US are cheap

Brian’s becoming the mountain biking version of Anthony Bourdain
Ok, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Nooooo Reservations
Minus the booze and drugs
So green, that cystern seems to be full of AG1, the proud sponsor of this video ;-)

Easy to say when you land is not taken over by strangers who will hunt you down until you're dead, while playing the eternal victim card.
Thank you so much for doing Israel!
As an Israeli, it's really exciting to see you riding in all of the trails we know.
Awesome
Very cool the 3 seconds presentation of your companions with their bikes, love it!
Finally i can say i rode the same trail as BKXC!! Hell yeah!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 Cheers and love bro 🇮🇱🩵🩵🩵
Good timing Happy Easter Brian; Riding in the holy land around Easter. Cool flowing trails. Extra light on the trees. You sure that was beef?
Crazy, would have never thought I'd see Brian mountain biking between Jerusalem and Jericho. Also great to see the hilly west bank in video!
What an amazing trail and epic video! Any idea what gimbal/gopro is being used?
First time I've seen mountain biking in the holy land. Really shows the sport is international.

Somebody told me that the drivers are actually bedouins....
Thanks for coming 🙏🏻🍻
Amazing ride Bryan! Thanks for bringing this for us to enjoy
This is awesome Brian! Wow! The riding plus the location! 👍👌 thanks for sharing and for all of the info And history!
BKWW - BK World Wide. Loving these international journeys
Apparently, according to my overseas worker friends, Saudi Arabia has a thriving enduro scene with this exact kind of terrain. That is honestly super sick!
Interesting !
Love ur rides !
* the West Bank is an area located in ISRAEL
Come visit Bhutan and ride the ancient trans Bhutan Trail. You will love it.
Black Ibis looks great, nice bike and very nice youtube channel. Have a nice day. Wesołych świąt Wielkanocnych :)
Oh, I was under the impression you were riding in Israel
🤔
Awesome to see you getting more opportunities and sponsors. Love watching you travelling around the world; breathtaking views out there 🤘

Isreal looks great, gods country and home of the jews, would love to visit Isreal one day.
Beautiful and informative video. Loving all the new locations Brian.. thanks
Fantastic as always, love the editing too
There is no Palestinian state. That’s Palestinian administered territory in Israel.
wonderful... I never thought this channel will go to Middle East!!
Yeah, one globe, let's fly it up! ✈Warm is cosy! We live today, no tomorrow. Dink life! Videos for eternity, what else!?! Love it. ♥
I wasn't expecting this - hadn't really considered this as an mtb location. But it looks great! Perhaps the Middle East has a lot of hidden cycling gems...
Oh there's plenty more in Israel/Palestine but the Sugar Trail us unique. It like biking on the moon.
Whoa stoked for this series 🙌
Brian Kennedy Xross-Continents
When you off to N. Korea?
You think they'll welcome him as good as Israel did? 🤔🇮🇱
That flew over many peoples head. Clever :))

Doing a “7 continent shred” this year? Quite the upgrade from 50 state shred. Doing great progress so far
That would be amazing
Going to Tell my hubby about AG1 Going to try it I need something my knees are aching from recumbent biking .

I'm watching this on Good Friday 👍🏻✝️
This is Israel, not Palestinian state
West Bank is technically israel, but it’s a Palestinian territory
Super mountain rider❤❤❤❤💯🤘love from India🇮🇳
Reppin that pyga all the way out there! Lets go!
We love our Pygas!
Man, that trail looks amazing! Stoked to see more riding from the Middle East.
Touring the lands of the Bible! Yeah, I want to do that!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.

There are others Habibi. You can come riding with me here in the Jerusalem mountains.

I live in the area and have never seen the Sugar Trail so empty. I hope you enjoyed!
We booked it private for Brian LOL
There is tons of sick freeride stuff out there plus the nearby arad - masada trail is crazy!
Did you make more videos in israel?
This is so cool! I wish we would have ridden bikes when we were there.
Get in touch next time :)
@@Ridebox_MTB For sure!
Brian .... he wasn't the messiah he's a very naughty boy 🤪🤪🤪
You got a mistake, you were riding in Israel!!!
He is not answering.
Can you do a video showing how you travel with your bike? Break it down, what case you use etc.
Awesome epik trail and video
The next video needs to be from Brian's accountant regarding all of these business travel expenses!
Welcome to the State of Israel 🇮🇱
And not what?
Should get all the leaders of the world ride mtn bike together. No more hatred no more wars.

My bro is back
Delta never charges for bikes, unless they are over weight, and then you just pay the XL bag fee.
That water is fresh and green.
Great to see the scenery of Palestine. Hoping to see more in this series.
This is epic ! Do you always have some local guides ?
Shalom
You are the best!
Thanks!
Any plans to ride from Sde Boker?
Good to see this time there are no dogs 🐶 running after you 😅😅👍🏻
Hey Brian, i never see you wheelie. Can you ride a wheelie? Just curious. :) Awesome video!

Wanna ride on those cliffs. 😭
My dream is to have that kind expensive bike .and travel every part place of my country in the Philippines ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

saw the rocket attacks, hopefully you're not currently there but if you are stay safe.
New Shackles..hmm. I’ll think about it. 😂😂😂
amazing
so sick
Maybe the people of this region should go for a ride together. They haven't gotten along for 3000 years.
Maybe if the Jews stopped stealing their land they would get along?
What region my friend? He is riding in Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱
