Spain has so much to offer. I wish mountain biking had been bigger when I was living over there in the early and mid 1990s. Love everything you do. Thanks for sharing. Keep working on those Spanish skills. I see progress. It takes work, but I've never seen you afraid of hard work. Your next gal pal just might be a Spanish speaker who fancies herself a little BKXC. :)
wow Patones is crazy!!! Crazy to see you in my town!!! I hope you enjoy the trails and hoping you ride more places here and more videos coming! Is not just for couple psi more,I wear only DH casing tires cos trails are very rocky-dirty-natural as hell like at 5:45. As a local, I love that loose stuff, it is very rewarding,you can´t relax a second. About those perfectly aligned trees,they are there cos El Embalse del Atazar is really close and their job is to keep the soil in the mountain from going to the bottom of the artificial lake. It is a normal thing around any "embalse" of Madrid ,just to not loose many capacity over the time. The real landscape are short tress and bushes . Awesome to see your Spanish improvement hahaha. I hope your guides take you to Navacerrada,Leones or Abantos for the full alpine Madrid tour!!!Great video,!
Absolutely wonderful views, I'm sure you were too focused on the jank to notice, lol. I'm glad you documented where you were pushing your bike up one section and where you didn't try the wedge rock.
This trip has been so awesome to watch. Recently started a new job and its left me exhausted. So ive been getting my MTB fix thru you lately. Cheers hope the rest of the trip goes well.
Madrid area is an awesome place to ride: you have great spots within 45 mins drive and you can mtb pretty much all year round. Patones is great but you also have hundreds of natural trails to the north in Guadarrama or in the NW towards Navacerrada: no need for bike parks. Really miss it.
Enjoy that region going south, I've been there for several vacations very friendly people around there. Nice stache although Mister!! I've just got accustomed to mine, suits you.
Andrew is fast but I saw you on McTrail and do have the style! A wheel killing trail love to ride there, would get a skill injection and some travel added to the bike. Another great video.
I can't believe how good of a rider Brian has become, just watched a video from the Redemption series with him, Alex and good old Sheila i know it's been long ago, but still he is 3 times faster and technical
hello good i live in barcelona in a place called cerdanyola del vallés ... if you have an opportunity in the app strava there is a trialera called parajito if you could go you would enjoy it is very technical at the same time fun and would be very funny watch a video of you out there keep it up with the videos you make I love them I see them all although I don't speak English really a greeting
What bike would u recommend for jumps and wheels and backes because my mountain bike don’t go down 9 degree gutters because it brakes my axis and what tiers do u recommend plz get back to me just what brand of bike
3:40 Actually, we don't say "gra(th)ia(th)", we say "gra(th)ias". Only in a few regions of Andalucía people say "gra(th)ia(th)" I hope you come back to Spain soon!
When you get going a little too fast and go off the trail, does it ever cross your mind that a rock might be on the side in the grass? Scares the crap out of me anyways!
I’m in the process of building a Trek Full Stache. I think it would rip over all that jank. Not a long travel bike 140/130 but has 3 inch tires. Its nickname is Monster Trek
Gracias es aquí, en Méjico y en cualquier otro lado. Lo de comerse la s final será algo propio de los andaluces en todo caso. Gracias is a spanish world in México and here in Spain except Andalucía (but Im not sure that they pronuncié Gracia, they say "grasia mi arma") 😄😄😄😄
Loving your vids. Wish it was sunny in the UK right now. You say 30 psi. What tire size do you run. 2.4? Do you have any inserts? Just curious as I'm new to mtb and the terrain in Spain looks rock as 😂
@@bkxc thanks for the reply. I run 2.5 and 2.4 on my 29er new hightower. I'm a small rider at about 70kg. I run low pressures but maybe I need to run more psi. Always enjoy the vids. Thank you
@@bkxc oh the chickapee trails in Ga in Hall co. Or Gainsville if u look that u not sure what it wud be under and.oh it does cost 5$ to ride in both Fort Yargo and chickapee , thanx again for ur inspiration and videos I started mtn. Biking again !! WOOT WOOT !!!!
I'd love to, but I can barely afford to keep my bike running, nevermind a bike trip like that.
You are not alone
Some day!
@@bkxc probably yes, I'm at least young still so nothing is impossible :)
This was FANTASTIC!!!! So thankful for this channel! Happy Day of Giving Thanks to you & yours!
And that village... gorgeous!!!
Thank YOU!
Love the animation for your gloves... Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude!!
Excellent Brian, now people can learn how to MTB and Spanish at the same time with your videos, LOL 😂 Another Epic ride, Love it! 🤘😎
Haha always learning!
I commend you on "making the effort". That's what everyone should do when you're in another country.
Always trying!
Just glad you had a guide! Some of that looked nothing like a trail. Might need new tires soon!
Yeah, very glad to have a guide!!

You've got some great trails in your backyard!! I've gotta get back to see some more.
That area is absolutely gorgeous!
Big time!
Absolutely wonderful views, I'm sure you were too focused on the jank to notice, lol. I'm glad you documented where you were pushing your bike up one section and where you didn't try the wedge rock.
Haha it was really hard to see the scenery!
I'm jealous of all the places you get to ride.
I can't get enough of this Spain jank! You were killin' it! Although, I'm not surprised...
And I hope the stache is staying for a while 😎
Hell yeah! Thanks Sheyn
This trip has been so awesome to watch. Recently started a new job and its left me exhausted. So ive been getting my MTB fix thru you lately. Cheers hope the rest of the trip goes well.
Glad to give you some time to relax and give your mind a break!
the landscapes are so beautiful!
Pretty amazing!

Yep, it's pretty amazing!
Epic! Man, I wish I could live a mountain bike life like BKXC.
Glad you dig it!
"Just the beginning, very very good." - rarely heard a similar underestimation!
Hahaha yes!
Hat's off to you guy's that ride looked crazy and fun, great video. 👍👍👍
It was a blast!
Great video as always Brian. Spain looks amazing
Thanks Phil!
Enjoy that region going south, I've been there for several vacations very friendly people around there.
Nice stache although Mister!! I've just got accustomed to mine, suits you.
Thanks bud!
I'm surprised your tires survived that trail. A lot of sharp rocks. Good thing you didn't crash !
So glad I survived it!
16:20 did i hear “hostia!!” You are learning fast!! Hahahah
Hahaha yes
This link does not work??? Why we want to see this please.
His channel does not work?
Andrew is fast but I saw you on McTrail and do have the style! A wheel killing trail love to ride there, would get a skill injection and some travel added to the bike. Another great video.
Haha most definitely!! Thanks Stuart
Stunning start to the series Brian.
Thanks Mark!!
Beautiful! thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
So technical, so many big stones, Must be exhausting to descend those mountain trails!
Tons of fun AND tough!
Solid ride dudes! The amount of chunk in there was crazy! Glad the bikes are still in one piece 🤣🤘
Haha I agree!
holy hell man. some..... ok most of that jank i would have been walking. o that little animation with your hands and gloves was funny AF!!!
Yeah man, I'm glad I got down it!
Looking forward to it going to be an epic series!!🤘🤘
Hell yeah!
Nice ridin Boyz alway top watch I'm now a subscriber. 🚴. Fabulous views n country guys
Welcome!!
@@bkxc cheers Brian lad. Iv watched loads ya vids n sick skills bro. I need find some lol
Interesting how it rained hard overnight but trails still look almost bone dry compared to what I'm used to
Yes! Totally absorbed it all.
Welcome to the Mediterranean climate, greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Thanks!
Saludos desde Barcelona, Spain,. Me gustan tus videos
Gracias!
I can't believe how good of a rider Brian has become, just watched a video from the Redemption series with him, Alex and good old Sheila i know it's been long ago, but still he is 3 times faster and technical
Thanks Martin!
@@bkxc No thank You, this is the closest to Spain biking i will get, so enjoy it for us too, and stay safe on this rocky gnar :)
Wow that was chunky ! Amazing video !
Thanks!!
Was a tough, but great morning’s ride Brian! Glad you enjoyed the Madrid Jank 🤘
Great guiding you did a great job Nathan that trail was a beast 👍
Such a well earned ride!!
Trail Tracker 2D cheers. Patones is always a challenge 🤘
That was a stunning OTB by Nathan
Haha yes it was!
Amigo eres muy bueno. Mis respetos un saludo 👍🏽💪🏽
A long wait but Patones at last ! Hope you.like it. Madrid riders do not get old, sliced to dez on cutting edge pizarras XD
Yeah man, loved it!
hello good i live in barcelona in a place called cerdanyola del vallés ... if you have an opportunity in the app strava there is a trialera called parajito if you could go you would enjoy it is very technical at the same time fun and would be very funny watch a video of you out there keep it up with the videos you make I love them I see them all although I don't speak English really a greeting
Nice, I didn't make it to Barcelona this time!
Hand guards? They are called "Mechanix" gloves. A good set with knuckle protectors will last at least one season.
Yes!
DAMN those rocks! I don't think my Enduro hardtail will work here. Gonna have lots of punctures
Yeah man, it'd be bumpy!
Great video!!! Your Spanish is improving!!!
Trying!! Thanks dude
Hell yeah! Looks awesome bro! Love ur vids!
Thanks so much Calvin!
It's a miracle you didn't have a flat. So gnarly...but beautiful.
So true!!
Welcome to Spain dude!
Most of the trails in here are janky like that. Good place for coils
Hell yeah!
That's a very nice trail BRIAN!!!
Thanks!!
@@bkxc Thanks for inpiring many people including me Brian. Keep it up!
Beatifull place for riding....
Most definitely!
At 4:50 I noticed you didn’t have gloves on. When you climb do you not like to have gloves on?
Nice... Andrews channel tomorrow!! Like this collaborations between you YT riders 🤘
Yeah buddy!
one hell of a view!.. one hell of a ride! 🤟
Thanks man!
Tabarnac nice bike trip !! Did you fix your creaky headset? it seems to be silent now haha !!

Sounds like a good place to ride, you said ejector seat...not are you ok! 🤣
Hahahah!!
Dude I bet you were like a well shaken mojito after that ride lol

Hahhaha indeed

Most definitely! always possible
15:33 Just wanted to pop in, "very, very old" in europe is probably a lot older than the 1500s :D
Haha yep
Awesome ride. Extremely hard
Big time!
I’m in the process of building a Trek Full Stache. I think it would rip over all that jank. Not a long travel bike 140/130 but has 3 inch tires. Its nickname is Monster Trek
Nice!!
which tire combi are you using/are usable for such rocky rides?
Maxxis Minion DHF / DHRII WT
Gracias es aquí, en Méjico y en cualquier otro lado. Lo de comerse la s final será algo propio de los andaluces en todo caso. Gracias is a spanish world in México and here in Spain except Andalucía (but Im not sure that they pronuncié Gracia, they say "grasia mi arma") 😄😄😄😄
😆 No Brian, you are wrong: the “c” and “z” sounds like English “th”. The S sounds like english S👍🏼
I'm all screwed up!
The ability to find the jankiest trails to ride and film, no matter country or continent. ;) Looks like fun, as always...
Haha yep!!
Great Stuff Amigo 😜🚴🤟🤟👌
Gracias!!!
Like the jazz hands glove add
Gotta keep it spicy!
Don’t miss the next video from this trip TOMORROW on McTrail Rider's channel: ua-cam.com/channels/AID_Fku4w12xh6biUqC88Q.html
Are you planning to sell your bronson or rallon?
Not at the moment
@@bkxc Giveaway?????????
Is your ripmo your everyday bike? Do you ride it on buffed out CA trails too? Looks like a rad trip by the way!
Yup, only need one bike!
this looks very fun, but dangerous
#BKXC Luv your videos dude. I remember recently watching on some of your videos you riding an orbea rallon, that is not it, is it? What happened?
Ibis gave me a bike to ride!
Nice riding
Thanks Lucas
what tires are you running and tire pressure
Love the video’s man, are there any trails in that area wich you can ride on a hardtail?
Not that we rode!
Short stem or long stem ? what you guys running :]

@@IanSmi_th im on 780 as well love them got some 740mm for a project tho recently still huge haha

Amazing trail! Was mc trailer bike a ebike? If so, you must be hard.
Thanks! He is on a gearbox bike, Deviate The Guide, not an ebike
*nice*
Yo bro can you show some sick rides in middle east/ anatolia/ balkans some time would be so nice
I just need a guide and a plan!
So....you drove across the plains of Spain and had some rain?
BINGO!
An answer for the Title.."ME ME ME...."..Ha !
Hahaha nice!
Mc senders xc the new dream team 👍
Yeah baby!
Loving your vids. Wish it was sunny in the UK right now.
You say 30 psi. What tire size do you run. 2.4? Do you have any inserts?
Just curious as I'm new to mtb and the terrain in Spain looks rock as 😂
No inserts! 2.5 in the front, 2.4 in the back.
@@bkxc thanks for the reply. I run 2.5 and 2.4 on my 29er new hightower. I'm a small rider at about 70kg. I run low pressures but maybe I need to run more psi. Always enjoy the vids. Thank you
I love it!!♥️😂
Big up Wales!
Yeah!
Yep there it was. Know you have been riding with Nathan. ‘Ostia”
Haha yes!
Come ride at fort yargo state park in ga and then ride the chickapee trails
I'll look it up!

Madrid shows that the earth is flat, hug Great videos
Hahaha!
£500 = long weekend in Spain from the UK ✈️ 🏨 🥘

Ejector pedal strikes are so confusing. One second you are just pedaling along, then you are on your back in an instant.
Haha yes, full on rocket booster pedals
🇪🇸🇪🇸❤️❤️
Awesome
Thanks!
If you had any kidney stones, they’re gone now 😂
Hahaha, bounced em right out!

Dope

#Nuugetorium.
#BKXC .
Doing good!
I would ride a bike down that.
Hahaha, I believe it Evan!
On the Spanish trails you don't see a lot of hikers or other mountain bikers. At least the video is not showing them.
