  • Welcome to Austin, TX - where the topo chico flows free, the Kalache is King, and the mountain biking is WAY better than you would have ever imagined.

    That’s right, in case you haven’t been paying attention, the Lone Star State has been undergoing somewhat of a mountain biking renaissance period and right at the heart of it is the state capital, Austin.
    Thanks to my UA-cam community, Austin found itself on my radar, so during my trip across the country last month I made a point of stopping to check it out, and man am I happy I did!

      I would really like to see his bike set up in more detail. I'm a powersport technian, and have set up a few motorcycles for people that were missing limbs. It's pretty awesome to watch someone do something they love that they never thought they would do again because of a massive injury.

    The storytelling and documentary-esq style of this video really shows how far you've come in this game. It's almost like a completely different channel now - and I mean that in the best possible way. This is the video that convinced me to start contributing on Patreon. You've really stepped up your production value and the effort you're pouring into this is reflected in your final product. Keep it up. Your channel and your outlook on life inspires so many people.

    Thanks for coming to Texas. The mountain biking community is growing and we appreciate your noticing us. I just started mountain biking a little over a year ago myself and turn 70 in a few months so getting a late start. I wish I had started sooner but it is never to late I guess.

    Great video! Thanks for highlighting Texas. I am 53, living in Texas 11 years, and only discovered mountain biking over the summer. After buying a Trek Marlin I was hooked, and found great trails practically in my own back yard in a suburb of Houston, and have been riding 4 to 5 days a week even as the daylight hours diminished this fall. You are so right about the community and passion, but not just in Austin. Houston is the flattest place I've ever lived, but the trail builders in my area are doing a fantastic job, as you say, making the most of what little elevation we do have.

    Liking the more “polished” feel. But don’t give up that raw feel entirely. Some of my favorite parts of your videos are the commentary during the ride. Feeling the stoke while you ride is priceless

    The mountain bike scene has steadily grown in Tejas since the 90's. Back then only a handful of us traveled to the NORBA Nationals from Texas. I always tried to bring back ideas to the lone star state. Glad some have cemented themselves in Austin. Great video. Ride Hard!

  • @scc9306
    @scc9306 5 років тому +2

    Dude. I love the new format of your videos. Can't even imagine how much work you put into this. I guess that's why it has been a while. Kinda gave me a PBS Rick Steves travel show vibe, but with bikes. Instead of just watching your pov and hearing you excited, I actually want to get out to Austin. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there!

    I picked up Mountain Biking as a hobby when I lived in Texas. The MTB community there is strong and always growing. I would travel a lot for work, and anytime I went anywhere I made sure to throw my bike in the back of my truck because there are great trails EVERYWHERE!
    Great video btw sts! I like that you incorporated a lot more narration and B-Roll. Much easier to watch in this format.

    Dude, Alex, thank you so much. I am moving to DFW soon and Austin is reasonably close. I'm going to Spider Mountain like the week I get there but this video helps so much on finding other stuff in the area. I'm originally from Arkansas, then went to college in Alabama so to me moving to Texas was resigning my MTB experience to park days in Angelfire, NM. I'm so glad that this is not the case. Thank you so much for bringing these communities to light and showing the world what they have to offer. I would love to see a video like this from every scene you see because it helps me find where to ride when going on vacation, business trips, or to see family and friends. Love your work man, live free, ride hard, and stay stoked my dude.

I'm a drummer that's looking to move to Dallas for 6 months, and then to Nashville to pursue a full time career as a drummer. Your videos on van building and biking are fun and inspiring. Definitely appreciate the well written narration. I purchased a tour van a few years ago that I'm going to convert to a house. No more spending half of my income for rent! Cheers man.
