    This is the first trail I learned to mountain bike on. Holds a special place in my heart.

      It’s most likely going to be for me too! I’ve never gotten to ride anything that is fun or made for biking. Salina doesn’t have those types of things anymore. Not even the old roller rink. Ah but who cares; we-well just the dad of a dude I met at work-invented the pop-a-shot!

      Honestly people think it would be easy being a pro UA-camr. When you look at the quality of his and fellow Seth and Alex's vids, this guy as figured it out good too.
      Reciting the bits of history he just learned, whilst riding kinda amazes me. Don't get me wrong I am yapping about with buddies while riding haha but dunno I could learn a short monologue by heart and just spew it out while biking hehe

      @ianfurqueron5850 4 роки тому +5

      It's a double-edge sword. Riding videos generally look better when you're following someone. Plus, GoPro video can distort how close you actually are to someone until you're right on top of them. So it's always tough to be close enough to get the trail features on video, but not so close you run into them.

    • @ShitStefanShoots
      @ShitStefanShoots 4 роки тому +2

      I always (in every video) think that Brian is riding WAY too close to the ones he's following. It's stupid, but I guess he does that for the footage ...

  • @profesam8457
    @profesam8457 4 роки тому +2

    There are different levels of loops for riders to do. You may have found the more challenging level required for the first part of your ride to be more enjoyable but the trails were probably laid out that way with intention so that all levels of riders could enjoy the trails. Thanks for stopping off in fly-over country. Although outsiders may find it hard to believe, there are many great opportunities for cyclists of all kinds in Kansas. Great video. Come back to Kansas anytime!

      The secret is to just get off the interstate and hit the back roads. But I feel this way about any state really.

    I’m glad you enjoyed KS! My wife is from Wichita. I lived there from 96-2012 when we moved here to Cocoa, FL by the Space Center. It’s never calm, always windy there. I think I’ve told you I’m retired airline. When I would fly small aircraft there we could fly backwards! When you talked about the bird, I was reminded of that. We would slow down as slow as possible, the wind would push us backwards! Lol! GPS would show 0!

    My brother moved to Wichita. So flat. He showed my where the kids sled in the winter; It was an embankment for an overpass. The strangest thing was swimming in the Arkansas River (really wading, it’s so shallow).....it was warm! Being from the Pacific NW, I’ve never experienced a river that wasn’t ice cold.

I kept thinking how it reminded me of Utah or Arizona trails with all those rocks (add grass and minus cactus). I might have to make a trip down there to check it out. Glad to see you and Sara back on the road getting after it. SE Nebraska soon!?!?!

It isn’t very far from brown county state park.

Your end credits of speeded up travel with the music, is pure genius... it also needs to be on your lead in... just saying..... The idea of MTB trails of USA by state, I can see you do. It's a long term project, however, having a BKXC trail recommendation app that takes the person to the actual video reference and to trail forks you did would be outstanding. Your legacy is assured.... Your world view MTB trailage would have to be added... just say'n
    Don't let that girl get away... life will run past you all to quickly.

    Looks legit. I really dig seeing other options in the region. Going from Flagstaff to southern Sierras as my back yard I really struggled to adapt my riding style coming to the midwest. Sugarbottom and Beverly is quite a change from Buffalo Park and Keysville. Gravel biking has saved my sanity from repeating loops on the same small sample of singletrack.

    Lmao, there is always turtles on this trail. Glad you could experience Wilson. I’m going to ride it tomorrow.

    I grew up in Lawrence, Kansas where the University of Kansas is. Lawrence was the sight of one of the worst raids from the confederate militia groups in Missouri. Around the 3 minute mark you talk about Kansas becoming a free state, well my high school is actually called Lawrence Free State High School to commemorate that history. This is also the basis for KU vs Mizzou rivalry. Just a little tid bit from a Kansan!

    I ride switchgrass regularly, also Shady bend in Osborne is a short fun trail.

    Hopefully when you get to North Dakota, you’ll get to do some of the Maah Daah Hey trail. Be interesting to see trail video and amenities of that area.
