I think Crested Butte was my favorite town in CO. Glenwood Springs was cool too though. I remember that first ride at altitude and how much your first climbs sucks the wind right out of you!
Hey man just wanted to say watching your videos made me really want to get into mountain biking just purchased my first bike and I am super excited to get it and start riding. Thanks bro keep up the great work!
I've never had a creak in my crank but I have had my crank in a creek. See what I did there. Epic for sure, rolling , undulating terrain for miles. Chasing Epic is on my to do list!
Yeah man Colorado is beautiful. I was there that weekend too, but up in Fort Collins. I’ve snowboarded Crested Butte, but have yet to shred there. Nice ride Brian!
CBpov (hahaha see what I did there) never gets old! CB is my most under explored piece of real estate in CO as I've opted for the AspenSnowmassCarbondale side of the elk mountain range 15 miles north for years. And as always, you have reignited the fire to ride more CB! Great stuff Brian!
Not sure it's even worth putting Cushcore in the front. I can't recall a single time anyone flat spotted a rim on the front. In fact, I can't even recall pinch flats, dating back to pre-tubeless days! I've seen some Taco'd fronts, but cushcore isn't going to stop that! I guess in theory it could keep the tire profile at lower pressures so you wouldn't roll the tire in corners, which might increase grip, but to me...when you get down that low, and your ENTIRE tire is in contact with the ground, it's just too draggy anyway. I don't know anyone that runs cushcore in the front, including the local Pro enduro racers. I don't see a point to the weight penalty, or the hassle, when you can run as low as 22 psi on 2.4's and larger, and typically be fine on the front.
Xally Islas like a pool noodle, fits in tire preventing rocks damaging rim since people sometimes run low air pressure on trail to get greater traction
It is nice to see some riding. It's getting to the rainy, transition season here so MTB is fewer and farther between. So gravel rides come in handy and soon it'll be fat bike season!
Thats some nice elevation. I remember last year I rode Park City and was dieing off the start and couldn't figure out why. Later that day I figured it out.
I've only ridden Crested Butte once...I'd love to go back. Maybe next summer. Lots lots of good riding in Colorado. Puts a hurt on my Texas lungs for sure.
I lived in Telluride for 2 years and know how that feels. Did an 18 mile run back in NJ before I left and couldn't run 2 miles when I got to town which is 8k ft. Water, water and more ... water!
For every 1,000 ft of elevation, the sun gets 4% stronger. We used to have some lobster tourists coming in from the ski slopes when I lived up in Snowmass.
Every ride you're on makes me want to travel off the East Coast. While I love some janky downhills, there's not nearly as much flow up in the northeast. Everything wants to bump your body around.
I see Gunsight Connector there! I rode that one. Some really fun spots! Do you know what Chasing Epic trips you're going to do next year? I'm trying to hold off on planning trips for now so maybe I could join you for one!
Love the video. Thanks for the upload. Love Crested Butte. When are you coming back to Bellingham Washington. Would love to ride Galbraith with you if your ever in town.
@@bkxc Me and the guys here at a bike shop called Performance Bike would love to take you out to 3 or 4 of the good trails we have out here. Even if it was just 2 days, it's somthing to think about.
Who doesn't love Crested Butte? Did you end up going out to Hartman Rocks? Winters in The Crusty Butt aren't bad - go down to Gunnison and it's not very awesome.
I feel like you dial that air pressure down several notches and still be safe. I ride in rocky Tucson, AZ and at 180 lbs I run as low as 20 on the soft stuff and around 24 in the chunk with Minions.. Have low have you tried going without the CushCore?
Havent watched or ridden my bike in a while. I want to get back out there to jave some fun on it but im too busy with deer season and water polo season and cant afford to get hurt. Im surprised that your still looking and responding to the comment section. A long time ago when i subscribed i thought that you would just stop doing that after a while
Another nice video - though I heard a lot more breathing than usual :-) Did you get to ride "Trail 401" - Crested Butte's more famous trail - on this trip?
I run 23/25 PSI with DHR-II tires when it's nice weather, when it's rainy or muddy it's more like 20/23 PSI (front/rear and without cushcore or anything else.) But I also weight close to nothing, I have barely more in my fork (55PSI) hehe... And I might add that I run these pressures not only on casual trails but also on much more gnarly downhill tracks and so far I had one puncture that the sealant dealt with, and that one was my own fault for jumping up a staircase at very high speed in the city... and screwing it up a bit x_x
bkxc dude great video but when you going to test the gopro hero 7 on your chest mount with no gimbal and really see if it is the gimbal killer and your able to to use it in stead of your tried and tested evo ss could you be converted we want to see this video
OK mate you planning on coming back to Wales UK at all in future there some epic trails at dyfi forest near coed y brenin and rumors of a bike park opening very soon u fancy a ride??
If you’re wondering what the tribe members are doing? You can see my 34 mile down hill that I found on Brian’s channel!!!🙂 or leave it Gathering dust in TH-cam backrooms!!
About to hit that 200k! Early congratulations!!! :) Crested Butte is the place to be! Nice one...
Thanks dude, much appreciated!
2:55: That's a sweet Hardtail!
I was to distracted to see the bike.
Yeah but she's using multiple finger brake setup and the fork is a Rockshox Recon
watching your videos have become a daily ritual, makes me want to grab my bike and go for a ride everytime. keep it up man!
So glad to hear that Nick!
Hands down my favorite place I've ridden. Hope you enjoyed CB, Brian.
Nice!
Chasing Epic trips are the bomb. I did one with Alex in Moab this year. Steve really does a fine job putting it all together.
Hell yes he does!
Awesome! Narrow fast trails through birch forrest and im in love already! Just rad Brian, you never disappoint!
No wonder I didn't know about it. Nice place!
...looks a great place to ride....and that pizza looks good as well...made me hungry.!
Nice video Brian, that 200k mark is nearing!!!! Almost there👍
So so close!
Nice first day of riding to get another one going.
Beautiful colors this video have. Flowing trails, great views.
Man, you living the dream!
Holy Aspens! Looks rad, can't wait to get out there sometime.
It’s a special place!
Great trail there 😉 Brian nice pad there your staying cool 😉🏴🏴🏴🏴🤟👌

Great ride & video ! Thank you !
Hey man just wanted to say watching your videos made me really want to get into mountain biking just purchased my first bike and I am super excited to get it and start riding. Thanks bro keep up the great work!
Hell yes!! That’s what it’s all about
Trees so pretty you just might hug them. At speed. With your face.
Haha indeed
And your handlebars.
Such a unique filming style and awesome quality. Subbed 👍🏻
Excellent time of year to be in the southwest. Temperatures great, aspens are changing. :)
So nice!
I've never had a creak in my crank but I have had my crank in a creek. See what I did there. Epic for sure, rolling , undulating terrain for miles. Chasing Epic is on my to do list!
Hahaha love it
So good, looking forward to watching the rest of the trip 🤘
Wow, awesome trails. The views look spectacular
Yeah man Colorado is beautiful. I was there that weekend too, but up in Fort Collins. I’ve snowboarded Crested Butte, but have yet to shred there. Nice ride Brian!
So good, and there’s a lot I didn’t even get to ride on this trip!
Great vid bkxc
On the list for next year!

Hell yeah dude, get there! I’m sure the Tagg man will guide you.
You can tell its an aspen tree because of the way it is.
Neature walk
Had the opportunity to ride the butte last year and it was absolutely incredible. SO hard to keep focused on the trail with the views out there!
It's so amazing!!
Most Beautiful singletrack! 😍
Only reason I keep watching is to see if Cushcore gets put in!! 😂 👍 guess I’ll be watching forever
Hahaha yep

New here, what is cushcore? thnx

@@willbros1499 I quite often pinch my front tyre, because I like to bumb jump off things and sometimes the "things" are not okay with that...
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Simply stunning!
That is a great CB ride, totally a must hit.
Awesome Ride! Your right those are some great views!!
Some of the best!
Man I Really Really I have to make one of these happen soon!!!! Live-Life-Loud, Bro🤙🏽
Road 401 in August this year and it's amazing there! The loose gravel will get you for sure.
Awesome video and congratulations for 200K Brian! 😀 👍🏻
Thanks so much Tomi!
So hope you hit 401! I was there two weeks before you and there was still wildflowers.
Missed it this time!!
Just another sick video 🇨🇦🤘
Thanks Nelson!
wow what a nice area! great video!
Man that scenery
Pretty amazing
Cushcore update = LIKE BUTTON SMASH
Hahaha
It is nice to see some riding. It's getting to the rainy, transition season here so MTB is fewer and farther between. So gravel rides come in handy and soon it'll be fat bike season!
Summer comes and goes so fast!
Thats some nice elevation. I remember last year I rode Park City and was dieing off the start and couldn't figure out why. Later that day I figured it out.
Haha yep, it gets in your head when everything else seems normal!
Great job Brian. 👍
I smashed the like button before I watch it that's for all the guys I'm subscribed to keep up the awesome content
Thanks a ton buddy!
awesome ride
I've only ridden Crested Butte once...I'd love to go back. Maybe next summer. Lots lots of good riding in Colorado. Puts a hurt on my Texas lungs for sure.
Always come back stronger though!
Damn nice man. I live riding under the canopy of trees. They don't move though if u crash into one lol. Thanks for the adventure
Thanks Brian! I would have ate it on everyone of those turns you saved haha
Haha such close calls!
Superb trail.... u living your dreams dude!
I lived in Telluride for 2 years and know how that feels. Did an 18 mile run back in NJ before I left and couldn't run 2 miles when I got to town which is 8k ft. Water, water and more ... water!

good vid as always
Epic trail

Wow! Good stat

On the way to 200k that’s so awesome man!
Thanks Todge, pretty amazing!

I don’t have any 2019 Chasing Epic trips planned at the moment!
Gotta do one of those trips
I hope you do!
Awesome video very inspired:)
Are f......g kidding man, that is awesome there. Getting jealous really...well the arm is healing ..soon will be on trail ✌️
Get better bro!
First vid I have watched and I liked subbed
Love the video. Thanks for the upload. Love Crested Butte. When are you coming back to Bellingham Washington. Would love to ride Galbraith with you if your ever in town.
No plans yet, but I’d love to!
10,765 ft climb in 2:46:09 moving time says Trailforks 👊, lol
... 🤔
Definitely some goofy maths going on
7:35 was a prime goin' for it moment
I'm from Holland... flat as a pancake, this just scared the shit out of me :)
shredding mate
You should come to Chicago to ride all the single track trails in the west suburbs. I'd love to ride them with you!
Nice! First I’ve heard.

Yep yep! Stay tuned!
What red jersey you wearing here, Brian? Looks like awesome riding as usual 😎
Dang, off the top of my head I’m not sure which one I’m wearing and it’s gonna be tough to watch the video until I get back from Tibet.
I feel like you dial that air pressure down several notches and still be safe. I ride in rocky Tucson, AZ and at 180 lbs I run as low as 20 on the soft stuff and around 24 in the chunk with Minions.. Have low have you tried going without the CushCore?
I’ve had tons of rim dings and a few broken wheels, so I can’t play with lower pressure.
That’s a ton of elevation bud, but it’s beautiful there!!
Early brats on 200k, deserved!
Grats*
Thanks a ton!

Spoken like a true Cali boy , I don't ride in the cold so I don't worry about it :)
Exactamundo!!

Haha yes, I'm not very heavy but I imagine you're even lighter! Never thought about changing it up for the mud.
What gimbal setup do you run if you don't mind me asking? Just found your channel today, great vids. Subscribed.
Link in the description!
Ok, let get the safety gear on Big B. Don't get injured and loose video time...
Does it get any better! I'm so jealous!
Thanks bro!
bkxc dude great video but when you going to test the gopro hero 7 on your chest mount with no gimbal and really see if it is the gimbal killer and your able to to use it in stead of your tried and tested evo ss could you be converted we want to see this video
Gonna be a while
OK mate you planning on coming back to Wales UK at all in future there some epic trails at dyfi forest near coed y brenin and rumors of a bike park opening very soon u fancy a ride??
Brian, you sounded out of breath before you even started the ride 😄
Hahaha so true
My backyard!!
Nice!
easy on my eyes with 1080p lol
I think you should see the human pogo stick on the dirt jumps...
Haha yep!
Please come to Nepal and ride annapurna circuit trail. Worlds highest mtb trail
Maybe next year!
If you’re wondering what the tribe members are doing? You can see my 34 mile down hill that I found on Brian’s channel!!!🙂 or leave it Gathering dust in TH-cam backrooms!!
Hell yes!!
Amazing view, :)
I feel like we both have the same ultimate goal Brian....capture big foot on camera on a ride...one day
Exactly!!
What model are your grips? Give us an Amazon link. I want them orange.

How are you doing, awesome video! Do you plan to make more videos? Anyway, I left a sub. Keep shredding!
I do two videos a week and there are probably 300 on my channel right now!
Yo I live here that’s lando trail dawg
Sorry but what trail is that?
