I suffer from depression, panic, and anxiety. I want to let you know that these videos help me and I greatly appreciate. I hope one day to get a nice bike and do something like this! Keep up the gnarly work!
I saw someone else's video of bike touring in Idaho. It mentioned the hot springs, but never showed any and I asked why? The videographer/bike tourist said they were too busy to stop. What is the point then of touring anywhere if you don't stop to see things?
Yea but the USA is a huge country and unless you live in a Mountain town it takes a lot of time and effort to get to a good trail. And the majority of USA is flat.
Just FYI, the gas law was created for safety/insurance liability, but has the added benefit of job creation. Less money goes to the gas station's insurance provider, and more goes to the community. Pumping gas was my dad's first job when he moved here in the '70s, so considering butterfly effect I might owe my existence to the law! At times its frustrating, but it's also nice to stay in the car when its cold out.
I remember biking this trail system 2 years ago in mid August and just as we got to the top we saw this huge smoke plume from a fire in the canyon below. There were helicopters pulling water out of the rogue river and dumping it on the fire that was about a quarter mile away from us. We made the instant decision to book it down to avoid getting stuck in the flames.. good thing because right as we got to the bottom a huge airtanker flew over the top of the mountain and dropped a huge load of fire retardant on the fire. Definitely glad the trails were in such good shape that we could rip down them fast and get out of danger. I havent been back since but glad to see the Medford bike community is thriving! Keep up the good vids
I lived in Oregon for a summer w an internship at Columbia sportswear, coming from Michigan i had never heard of not being allowed to pump your own gas, and i got an earful the first time I went to gas up 😂
I live in South Africa and not pumping your own gas is part of life. Even if you wanted to you cannot pump it. Here it is called job creation and has been so for generations.
Glad to so Sarah on the trial with ya! I’m from Michigan got to see the Beautiful state of Oregon for four months while visiting my dad, never got to go back He moved pretty sad!
Here in Vermont we just got a big grant to start a single track mtn bike trail the length of Vermont called the velomont trail. We started with a shovel ready 10 miles of trail starting in the spring. Great things happening in the 802.
It's too bad that you hit Oregon so late in the year :(. Someday make sure to hit the Bend, Oakridge, and Mt Hood areas, and the hidden gem of southern Oregon: Spence Mountain. Glad to see you got to ride Southern Oregon though!
Its funny that you went to Washington and Oregon and managed to find trail systems that are almost exactly like the majority of trails in California, exposed, dusty straight traverse to hairpin, repeat. Its great that people made those trails happen, but what makes the PNW special and UNIQUE, are the loamy serpentine trails within giant cathedrals of trees under green canopies that keep the soil rich and ripping.
Brian I enjoy your videos as much as I enjoy riding my own bike rides. Also you inspired me to quit the job and start creating my own content. Loved joining you on this epic shred, thank you for the adventure and advice. It would be cool to join you if ever get back to the UK. In the meantime if you need cologne advice you know where to come. See you on the trail - Chris.
You’ll have to come back up to Oregon and ride. So many great places to ride you haven’t been to yet. Oakridge, Bend, Alsea Falls, Black Rock, Catamount, Sandy Ridge, and Post Canyon... also Ashland if you haven’t been there yet. I’d be happy to share more details on any of these locations and the best trails to check out.
Brian(bkxc) Seth(berm peak) and Alex(single tracksampler) Are simply the Best mtb none professionels on UA-cam, so funny and so much(really good information) they Are coming with, keep it coming Guys. 👍👍😃
I want to Thank you for putting in all your will Time and Effort on bringing us thru all of the United States on Mountain biking trails, hope you can get to Hawaii, it’s nice to see Sarah back, thanks
When you come back to Oregon, you need to ride some of the trails in Willamette Valley and Northern Oregon!! Oakridge is an entire city dedicated to mountain biking and has endless, worldclass singletrack. Sandy Ridge and Post Canyon up by Mt. Hood are both just as amazing and are perfect trail systems. Can you tell I'm from Oregon? Lol
Oregon looks like America's version of Wales or Devon, but drier and even more spectacular. Every time I see Oregon it looks like somewhere I wanna go, maybe live.
I can’t believe you came to Oregon and didn’t go to Black Rock Mountain Bike Area!!!😮 I hope you get a chance to come back and check it out!!!! It’s the best in the west!!!!
Hopefully the border opens soon.....not looking promising though lol.....super bummed, this year was supposed to be my Canada tour....Squamish, the Shore and Whistler...but noooo... : ( lol
Another great one, Brian, thanks! Hey, hit me up if you ever want to check out some new dirt around Santa Cruz. I'm recently retired, so I'm always ready for a tour.
A loud “Hi Brian” from Sweden 🇸🇪 we wanna say thank you for all your amazing videos. Me and some good friends are planing a MTB-road trip in Europe, all thanks to your videos. 😃👍 That’s if COVID allow us to. But if.... my 37 years old legs gonna climb the shit out of everything! Whooo! 💪🙃 (as you say over there 😉) Thank you again!
They do the same in South Africa, its an easy way of creating jobs. Can be frustrating waiting for someone to attend to you, but you get used to it. I have had an incident where the fuel pump attendant fueled my UTE with petrol instead of Diesel even though I requested Diesel and the diesel cap clearly labeled Diesel. After some back and forth the Fuel station paid for the flush of my UTE and repairs. Sad part the UTE was only a month old. I was really upset about it. From then on I used to watch carefully what they doing.
I like your videos i watch them because i want to offroad but i dont have a mtb i am going to get one and i have noticed you saying nice a bunch of times in your videos
I suffer from depression, panic, and anxiety. I want to let you know that these videos help me and I greatly appreciate. I hope one day to get a nice bike and do something like this!

Hey bro i hope you’re reading this and find some peace through your struggle
Good to see Sarah again.....and love the extra non biking footage👌🏼

Is Sarah back? It's good to see her back on the show.
Is she his wife?
@@GamingChannel-du4ct no

Concrete Head you live up to your name
You missed so much in Oregon. Great trails in bend. And pumping gas is a big job position. They do us a great service.
Americans are so lucky to have so many mountains and elevation (then trails system) all over the country, you just can't imagine !
I agree!! In Brazil this trail system is starting now, I hope that be like in US!!

You'll have to check out the Post Canyon Trail system in Hood River, next time you are in Oregon.
I agree, those trails are awesome!

She's back and she's going to Hawaii with him.
I'm irrationally proud of the fact that it was my state that made Brian crash for the first time in a while.
Dude 🤣
Mountain of the Rogue is such a rad trail system. I had a blast riding there last year and can’t wait to get back.
You need to do Bend, oakridge, Alsea falls and black rock..
Mt. Ashland has some great riding as well.
Skip Alsea and go north to Cold Creek, or hood river
Lots o trails
@@shawnrobinson107 hood river forsure. Too many trails too little time.
Spence Mountain in Klamath Falls FTW
I lived in Oregon for a summer w an internship at Columbia sportswear, coming from Michigan i had never heard of not being allowed to pump your own gas, and i got an earful the first time I went to gas up 😂
I live in South Africa and not pumping your own gas is part of life. Even if you wanted to you cannot pump it. Here it is called job creation and has been so for generations.
How many times have I driven through Rogue River and not realized I was missing this trail system. Next time I'll stop for a day or two.

I lived in oregon for about 3 months and not having to get out of my car to pump gas is one the only things I miss lol
Move to NJ, we don't pump gas here
Wow some beautiful trails out there! I need to find some more smooth flow trails in my area
It's too bad that you hit Oregon so late in the year :(. Someday make sure to hit the Bend, Oakridge, and Mt Hood areas, and the hidden gem of southern Oregon: Spence Mountain. Glad to see you got to ride Southern Oregon though!
True that. Mt Ashland down into town via the Ashland Mountain Adventures shuttle is not to be missed.
Happy to see Sarah back but even more, gorgeous Oregon never been. This solidified my want to go.

Awesome, takes me back to 2016, through hiking the PCT which went past Crater Lake
Next time you go by here in Oregon, you should go to Sandy Ridge. First place I went mountain biking and one of the best trail systems!
Oregon and Sarah in a one-two treat! We mountain bikers in Oregon sure are spoiled with amazing places to ride! Thanks Brian, great video!
Brian I enjoy your videos as much as I enjoy riding my own bike rides. Also you inspired me to quit the job and start creating my own content.

I`m on the trainer, but almost went airborne and was doing jumps at ~20:00 with you :)
For Hawaii you should go to Pineapple express trail in maui

morning Brian. You gotta hit up Mt Shasta area on your way through. Alot of development going on this last year. Steam donkey is a fun one
Summer 2021 plans are stirring in my head now
AAAAHHHHHHH .. YA MISSED ALL THE TRAILS AROUND BEND OREGON !!!!!!!!! YET THESE ARE GREAT TOO !!
I’m headed up there next week! Fingers crossed the trails will be dry enough to ride!
happy to see Sarag again ! :)
Yaay Sarah is back 👍, the scenery at those super gnarly switchbacks was epic . Danka
Such beautiful scenery
I learned about the no pumping your own gas law back in 1998. Haven’t been back.... Love your content!
Awesome stuff brother, 49/50 completed during 2020 is an accomplishment... THANK YOU
Dude, those trails are unbelievably rad! Nice work talking about trail work and advocacy in a way that demystifies it for the rest of us.
Seeing Brian with that hat made me realize he looks like Johnny Sins, lucky Sarah
can't unsee that now thanks
Think he'll shave his head now?
@@bk83082 I would
Congratulations on all 50 states Brian
Thanks for sharing! 1.5 years into mountain biking and loving it. Hope to follow your travels when I retire. 3 more years and then retirement baby!
Brian(bkxc) Seth(berm peak) and Alex(single tracksampler) Are simply the Best mtb none professionels on UA-cam, so funny and so much(really good information) they Are coming with, keep it coming Guys. 👍👍😃
Beautiful use of natural gradient. I spent some time in Bend, and I must say that Oregon knows how to build trials!
Nice to see your 'friend' back Brian, too bad she wasnt around before so you could have some help driving not to mention she is an EXCELLENT rider
Come on down to Hawaii! Lows in the 70s, hi of 81!
I want to Thank you for putting in all your will Time and Effort on bringing us thru all of the United States on Mountain biking trails, hope you can get to Hawaii, it’s nice to see Sarah back, thanks

It's about time Sarah is comes back .
Wooo woop! MOTR is my go-to local riding spot. Nick and everyone else involved has totally killed it with the development of that trail system.
One of my favorites videos, from biking to hiking!! and of course SARAH!!!
WoOoOoO! Sarah! Great video Brian!
Might as well of stayed in Cali. Ashland area is awesome no doubt but the real PNW classic Oregon trails have such great riding and views!
Very few Mountain Bikers in Southern Oregon? I grew up there. We've been doing it since the 80s. Tons of Mountain Bikers there.
Oregon looks like America's version of Wales or Devon, but drier and even more spectacular. Every time I see Oregon it looks like somewhere I wanna go, maybe live.
Speaking of "natural little beauties," it's nice to see Sarah again.
What an amazing journey you've had so far. Makes me want to bring a bike with me every time I have to travel for work.
Glad you had a great time here in Oregon, Keep on Biking!!!!!!
I live in Oregon and I agree with your take on the pumping gas situation.
U did it Brian congratulations on all 50 states and knowing I have met you and Seth at sea otter classic. Hopefully we will see you on the trail
Great video Brian. Looks like a fantastic trail system and fun to ride. Enjoyed the extra stops to show the scenery. Nice to see Sara again.
Aww, one of the Mrs. and I's first dating road trips - Crater Lake and down to the Redwoods. Good times
I can’t believe you came to Oregon and didn’t go to Black Rock Mountain Bike Area!!!😮 I hope you get a chance to come back and check it out!!!! It’s the best in the west!!!!
ua-cam.com/video/1KQ9hvkY4a8/v-deo.html
Do me a favor say hi to Sarah for me. Wooohoo good to see you 2 guys back together making these videos.
1st fall I've seen you take in awhile.
after the 50 state shred you gotta do the 10 province shred!
Hopefully the border opens soon.....not looking promising though lol.....super bummed, this year was supposed to be my Canada tour....Squamish, the Shore and Whistler...but noooo... : ( lol
@@meganNefarious oh my goodness that is brutal... hopefully you can do that still another year it’s looking promising for a vaccine early 2021🙏🏼
Awesome episode, Brian. That looked incredibly fun, and it was great to see you two shredding together again.
7:27 imagine being sponsored by gravity lol
Those rockers are the best
Oakridge Oregon is amazing!!!!
Wow sweet trails...I found myself smiling while watching it!
Worst poison oak I ever got into was in Ashland racing Spring Thaw.
That Oreo Cookies on the Background 🤣
I'd say this has been one of my favorite trail systems in the series.
Hey Brian, enjoyed the videos. Are you going to do any type of long term review of the Ripmo V2 and/or components (AXS?)?
Thanks, another Brian in NC
Great video man. I have really enjoyed the 50 state shred I watch while I work out and I binge watch your channe keep it up. Thank you
I’ve been watching all your videos and I’m such a big fan, and a bit jealous too.
AMEN on the gas thing! That was the one thing that made me nuts when I lived there (besides the traffic). I would pump my own gas regardless.
Yep my grandmother's brother pumped gas for 10 years in yancala Oregon..i think u can pump your own in Portland, Eugene 😃
I have been waiting for this! Thanks for visiting man and putting MOTR on the map.
Another great one, Brian, thanks! Hey, hit me up if you ever want to check out some new dirt around Santa Cruz. I'm recently retired, so I'm always ready for a tour.
A loud “Hi Brian” from Sweden 🇸🇪 we wanna say thank you for all your amazing videos.

That’s if COVID allow us to.
But if.... my 37 years old legs gonna climb the shit out of everything! Whooo! 💪🙃

Thank you again!
Off-camber trails are my nemesis
Best series yet
Oregon the beautiful! Love the extra footage Brian...
Was waiting for this episode! State number 49!! Go get that Hawaii state Brian !
Lol,mazama,I graduated from mazama high school in Klamath falls
Wow, that crater lake looked amazing! Hopefully one day I will get to visit the US
It’s the deepest lake in North America and gets about 10 meters of snow each year!
YES crater LAKE :D been there
They do the same in South Africa, its an easy way of creating jobs. Can be frustrating waiting for someone to attend to you, but you get used to it.

Almost reminds me of downhill skiing in a few places!
I like your videos i watch them because i want to offroad but i dont have a mtb i am going to get one and i have noticed you saying nice a bunch of times in your videos
These are my home trails. I can't believe I missed you! Definitely good stuff at MOTR.
Man, so many places to explore. Thanks for another awesome ride.
Check out Shasta, Redding and Chico on your way back!
Welcome back sarah, hehe
If only Kentucky had riding like that
Im in S. Ohio, and I'm getting the F outta here. NW here I come!
Fabulous Brian! Great episode - so close now!
