Alex will probably not race. Anything. He has said that even Strava tracking annoys him, because it takes an enjoyable ride and exposes the “flaws.” Competition just isn’t his brand of fun.
When I see stuff like this it's just mind boggling to me the ingenuity that people have to be able to build a trail for recreational mountain biking purposes, all the way up the side of a mounting to the top. Digging out a trail, building berms, jumps, wooden features, rock features, etc., etc., etc. and this isn't even all of the trails at Whistler. Look how much trail this is that they had to build by hand, it's insane. Then not only that, but they have to maintain the trails after they build it. The amount of work these people put into the trails blows my mind.
Wow Brian, This looked surprisingly good, just the right amount of rawness yet still smooth enough. There was a tone of boulders out there looking for hugs ! I think that you've got to get some BKXC bobbleheads made up to sale now because apparently your'e a human gimbal ! Watch out Evo, (BKXC Gimbals) coming to a trail near you ! Great job kid !
Hey Brian that was totally awesome for sure... Chin cam was perfect super clear and smooth thanks for taking us in another incredible journey can’t for the next video.... one very happy patron....👍
Sick Brian! I felt your stoke level all the way here in Norway man so I believe you when you say it was high! 🤘 And speaking of merch, I am waiting for your top and gloves to arrive. Can't wait 🤩 Good run, cheers!
It's absolutely bonkers to see how much progress you've made in these last few years. Even more so to see how much more progress you can still make going forward. Absolutely shredding it out there Brian!
Brian is the fittest of the group. Daily mtb rider plays for keeps and is collecting. Boostmaster is the sensei, enough said. Paul the punter's skills are catching up with his mouth.. The others I just haven't watched enough to "judge" yet...
I work 50 hourish weeks. You spend more time in the forest and outdoors than I do in my office. You live the dream sir. Also thanks for the intros to the other channels, they all just got a new subscriber!
Great job Brian! I love how you can finish a weeklong cross country race then immediately go and do amazing on a super difficult enduro race. Shows how much skill and endurance you have on a bike. Nice!
Brian, awesome video! Love the raw intensity of your content man. Also, awesome Jersey bro; order placed as promised! Can't wait to get it! (and gloves). Cheers!
Awesome video and love your infectious upbeat energy and stoke! I was pleasantly surprised that you beat BCPOV on that stage. You must be in fine form after the BC Bike Race. I just joined Patreon as I can't wait to see day 2 and I gotta support my favorite UA-camr and NorCal local! Go Brian!
Your riding has gotten much better, since I started watching you a few years back. When you first started I thought I could totally keep up with you. Now I'm pretty sure you'd leave me in the dust. Nice work.
I must say, the chinbar footage actually looks really good ! It’s smooth enough and I find it seems to minimise the “GoPro effect” on a lot of the more knarly parts of the trail. Makes things looks scary like they should be ! Lol
Great vid! Gimbal manufacturers will be nervous, and the sound was crisp and clear! Thanks for the effort. This should be an annual event with YT pros. Live the dream!
Just want to explain just how excellent that transition over to the 'lemme explain this in case you don't already know' segment. Really worked super-well, totally a fan of that, especially since that's taking the pressure off the live cuts, since you can do some magic and make it happen. Keep up the radness!
I can't wait until the channel grows and you get a second person on the team, another guy riding behind you and filming you would be f*cking amazing because you're a great rider
Honestly I love that chin mount angle. Smooth enough to not make me sick but still shows some bumps. I think it reduces the GoPro effect a little too since you can feel a little more of the trail when watching it.
Feels weird seeing a BKXC Video On The chin but it’s actually quite good to be honest, though I think you need a different FOV maybe superview then it will look quicker as well 👍👍👌
Brian, I enjoy the gimbal footage for its cinematic views but the chin mount shows the grade and texture of the trail so much better. Please don’t use super view. It distorts and increases the Gopro effect to the point that we can’t tell how steep the trail is. Your current FOV is the best I’ve seen on a chin mount. Just tilt that camera up a little more and we will be able to read the trail with you! Awesome job!
Great stuff man, the vid quality was great same with sound. Really says something for the hero 7. And awesome riding man, I would have been totally dead after that.
Great run bud. I thought you were hauling serious butt until that dude past you like you were standing still. It's mind blowing how fast people can take those trails. That guy should be racing in a different league. All that said, if I were racing I'd probably be last, I'm just getting into mountain bike riding after almost 20 years and I'm no where near as good as shape as you are. Great job Brian, I liked the chin mount as well. The microphone on it isn't as good as your other rig though. Good luck.
Great job Brian! I’m glad you finally had a reason to try the Hero7 Black with HyperSmooth. I hope the footage turned out better than you expected. Audio came through pretty good too.
Damn, I guess I'd never seen a full run video up to now. You just kept going, and going, and going, and going. LOL. 25 minutes straight of descending seems heavenly being from Texas and all :)
You're absolutely flying! And the chin mount worked a charm! Would've been perfect if it was tilted up a notch. And it must be so much more convenient than wearing a gimbal and having to worry about all that extra crap.
I really like the video from this setup. It gives us a better view of how rough the trail is and gives us a better, in the action feel. You need to do some more like this.
awesome Brian great job. FYI that guy in first place, Matt Beer, he is from the same place as I am in Newfoundland Canada. I rode with him years ago on trails here my friend, and I built. He is stupid fast rider
Wow! Amazing ride on day 1. Been a long time since I've smelled Whistler loam. Inspires me to find a reason to get out west from the 416. Saw the Eric version of this adventure earlier, too bad the second day was so wet. However, you persevered, you're a mountain biker, getting beat up is the tax, enjoying it is the reward... Keep up the good work. One day I'll catch up to you guys on the trails.
Great video. I love that youu had to improvise the camera setup - but it took nothing away. Like all of your content - this rocks.....and I've got to say it's probably also the best (unintended) real-world test of the Hero 7 I've seen yet.
The elephant in the room.... CHIN MOUNT BABY!! LOVED it. I will say, it would be even better if you add a short extension so that you get just a little more of the horizon, but I enjoy that far more than a gimbal. Curious...was that wide or superview? Cornering. Watch the footage back. You can make up a crap ton of time if you move your braking points back a bit, enter at a controlled speed, and roll through the corner with momentum. At times, you braked all the way through the corner. Getting the bike back up to speed is a lot more tiring, and you will lose time even though you feel like you enter the corners slower. I fight that too. You rode the gnar and chunk great, and the chain drop sucked. I didn't pay close enough attention, but the One Up chain guide is a good one if you want something light without a bash guard. Definitely needed for enduro. Your fitness is your weapon. You can pedal all of those flat spots, and recover some on the steeper parts. I think you paced yourself more like an XC race and let some time get away from you. Just speed up your corning, where you were losing time, and you'll smoke those dudes next year! ;-) GREAT VIDEO!!! LOVED seeing how stoked you were after the race! That's what I miss about enduro racing....none of my friends race, which takes most of the fun out of it. You had a whole crew, which had to be a BLAST!
loving the chin mount view less things to worry about just power bank battery pack and a wind cover over go pro its awesome been using this set up for a while i love it nice one brian
Next year Syd, Macky, Alex, and Seth need to join the race...that would be epic!
Mi Self and bobo
Damn if Phil Kmetz got involved. it would be no competition.
And Phil
Get Nate Hills in there to be honest...
Alex will probably not race. Anything. He has said that even Strava tracking annoys him, because it takes an enjoyable ride and exposes the “flaws.” Competition just isn’t his brand of fun.
When I see stuff like this it's just mind boggling to me the ingenuity that people have to be able to build a trail for recreational mountain biking purposes, all the way up the side of a mounting to the top.

Look how much trail this is that they had to build by hand, it's insane.
Then not only that, but they have to maintain the trails after they build it. The amount of work these people put into the trails blows my mind.
In all honesty, the hero 7 in the chin is looking way better than the gimbal. Also does slightly more justice to the trail.
A lot of breathing audio
@@lal5555f I'm sure it can be taken care of with a little fiddling
Agreed. Doing "more justice to the trail" is a great way to describe it.
agreed. and the audio just needs a wind breaker on the gopro. added bonus, none of that hard metal strapped to your sternum in case of a crash
Disagree. I think the chest mount is considerably smoother.
Almost saw a tear in your eye, when you found out you couldn't use the Chest Cam.
I actually really liked the chin mount
Wow Brian, This looked surprisingly good, just the right amount of rawness yet still smooth enough. There was a tone of boulders out there looking for hugs ! I think that you've got to get some BKXC bobbleheads made up to sale now because apparently your'e a human gimbal ! Watch out Evo, (BKXC Gimbals) coming to a trail near you ! Great job kid !
Hey Brian that was totally awesome for sure... Chin cam was perfect super clear and smooth thanks for taking us in another incredible journey can’t for the next video.... one very happy patron....👍
You are shredding out there Brian!
Sick Brian! I felt your stoke level all the way here in Norway man so I believe you when you say it was high! 🤘
And speaking of merch, I am waiting for your top and gloves to arrive. Can't wait 🤩 Good run, cheers!
Fantastic! Thanks for the support
It's absolutely bonkers to see how much progress you've made in these last few years.
Even more so to see how much more progress you can still make going forward.
Absolutely shredding it out there Brian!
Brian is the fittest of the group. Daily mtb rider plays for keeps and is collecting. Boostmaster is the sensei, enough said. Paul the punter's skills are catching up with his mouth..
The others I just haven't watched enough to "judge" yet...
Love your enthusiasm! You did well in this race. All you needed was someone to catch--you were smashing it when you passed Ryan!
I work 50 hourish weeks. You spend more time in the forest and outdoors than I do in my office. You live the dream sir. Also thanks for the intros to the other channels, they all just got a new subscriber!
After watching all the other guys race I’ve been really looking forward to this video. Enduro really is a great racing format!
Awesome. My heart was pounding watching. Ripmo just bounced perfectly between those trees! What a capable bike.
Great job Brian! I love how you can finish a weeklong cross country race then immediately go and do amazing on a super difficult enduro race. Shows how much skill and endurance you have on a bike. Nice!
Congrats, man! Ride was good enough, no talking was necessary. Also the hero 7 on your chin was good enough. I really enjoyed the whole ride with you.
Thanks for taking us along. That was GNARLY!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't believe how fast that guy was going that past you! He GONE!!!
Great Video!
Brian, awesome video! Love the raw intensity of your content man.
Also, awesome Jersey bro; order placed as promised! Can't wait to get it! (and gloves). Cheers!
Man, this was fierce!!! Love these collab vids with so many friendly channels. Chin cam worked fine too. Nice one Brian 👍🏼
Awesome video and love your infectious upbeat energy and stoke! I was pleasantly surprised that you beat BCPOV on that stage. You must be in fine form after the BC Bike Race. I just joined Patreon as I can't wait to see day 2 and I gotta support my favorite UA-camr and NorCal local! Go Brian!
Your riding has gotten much better, since I started watching you a few years back. When you first started I thought I could totally keep up with you. Now I'm pretty sure you'd leave me in the dust. Nice work.
You sure have gotten way faster than the good ol Bronson days Brian! Good shit dude!
I must say, the chinbar footage actually looks really good ! It’s smooth enough and I find it seems to minimise the “GoPro effect” on a lot of the more knarly parts of the trail. Makes things looks scary like they should be ! Lol

That dude Richard when he passed you so fast it looked like a damn video game. Great vid thanks for your efforts into them👍
Brilliant riding Brian
When that guy passed u tho🤣🤣🤣proper quick dude
Keep up the good work!😁😁😁
Honestly I love that chin mount angle. Smooth enough to not make me sick but still shows some bumps. I think it reduces the GoPro effect a little too since you can feel a little more of the trail when watching it.
I am in AWE! Additionally, thank you so very much for sharing your compatriots' channels. Your generosity and advice is truly (and daily) inspiring.
Thank you so much for using metric system in your videos, it makes things so much more easier for us from old continent... :)
Old continent LOL that’s freaking hilarious. I’m in America and I swear I wish we used the metric system. Pretty sure everybody here wishes that LOL
This is shaping up to be an epic race! Looked like a really solid performance from you Brian
Feels weird seeing a BKXC Video On The chin but it’s actually quite good to be honest, though I think you need a different FOV maybe superview then it will look quicker as well 👍👍👌
Needs to be pointed up a tad more I think. I do like chin mount videos more and more as I compare chest to chin.
Chin cam isn't bad. It was cool seeing the head checks. Looking back etc.
Brian that was awesome. You need to use that POV from time to time. I feel like it shows how much skill you have. You were on fire! Good job!
Brian, I enjoy the gimbal footage for its cinematic views but the chin mount shows the grade and texture of the trail so much better. Please don’t use super view. It distorts and increases the Gopro effect to the point that we can’t tell how steep the trail is. Your current FOV is the best I’ve seen on a chin mount. Just tilt that camera up a little more and we will be able to read the trail with you! Awesome job!
I'd say I prefer this to the chestmount. Maybe this is the setup for rides where you don't want to add your bodyweigth in gear :)
That was an absolute pleasure to watch. Who needs a gimbal, that chin mount view was awesome . 👏
Great stuff man, the vid quality was great same with sound. Really says something for the hero 7.
And awesome riding man, I would have been totally dead after that.
From watching all the UA-camrs videos from this race I feel like I know the course. Haha
Very good ride.
Nice colors , that grey goes with other colors as well, especially yellow.
I wanna see your van build. Would be awesome videos.
Wow video turned out way better than i expected...great job beating BCPOV thats a victory in itself
*just so you know, it looks equally if not better than hero 4 with karma grip*
*sound is good too, hero 4 will be history soon enough*
Looks great! I wouldn’t have known this is non-stabilized footage.
Great run bud. I thought you were hauling serious butt until that dude past you like you were standing still. It's mind blowing how fast people can take those trails. That guy should be racing in a different league. All that said, if I were racing I'd probably be last, I'm just getting into mountain bike riding after almost 20 years and I'm no where near as good as shape as you are. Great job Brian, I liked the chin mount as well. The microphone on it isn't as good as your other rig though. Good luck.
That chin mount view is legit. Consider keeping it.
You were flying! That dude that passed you wasn’t human. He was gone! Great job!
Hey buddy that chin cam worked a treat. Great ride today mate, you did real good. Go well for tomorrow.
Great Ride, sweet video footage, the chin cam angle was mint! Gave a really good perspective of what you endured during the whole descent!!
Great job Brian! I’m glad you finally had a reason to try the Hero7 Black with HyperSmooth. I hope the footage turned out better than you expected. Audio came through pretty good too.
The image stabilization on that camera is impressive. Also, awesome riding.
I didn’t think this was a BKXC video just by the thumbnail, but this alternate chin mount view is pretty rad.
Damn, I guess I'd never seen a full run video up to now. You just kept going, and going, and going, and going. LOL. 25 minutes straight of descending seems heavenly being from Texas and all :)
Wow that trail is gnarly. Well done!
You're absolutely flying! And the chin mount worked a charm! Would've been perfect if it was tilted up a notch. And it must be so much more convenient than wearing a gimbal and having to worry about all that extra crap.
Stoked. Pretty much the only word you need to know in BC these days. Good riding. You are much more comfortable in the air. Iooking fluid!
Awesome ride man! Your riding has improved. Congrats on completing such a tough race.
Awesome riding! Footage came out really good too.
Chin mount view looks great! What a trail! Amazing ride!
Great riding man! The top section above tree line looks sick
Well done, i think you did well on this one. Important part is that you manage to go pass those that came pass you. 👍🏻 great video too.
So cool! Hero 7 footage looks good. Thst was some good racing, Brian. Well done!
Ive been waiting for this one. Awesome Brian 🤟🏼
Amazing video, thanks for showing the entire race. 👍
Dude, I love you videos 🤘you keep getting better and better and it’s super awesome to watch you grow!!!!
Great video BKXC. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the race goes!
That’s one janky ass ride Brian you did well bro 🤟🤟🤟
I really like the video from this setup. It gives us a better view of how rough the trail is and gives us a better, in the action feel. You need to do some more like this.
NICE...good ta see ya racing, more of that and your riding chops will get better and also your fitness. The chin cam was pretty darn good. KUDOS...
awesome Brian great job. FYI that guy in first place, Matt Beer, he is from the same place as I am in Newfoundland Canada. I rode with him years ago on trails here my friend, and I built. He is stupid fast rider
Doesn’t look bad at all man! Nice riding. Truly gnarly course. Would love to find some trails like that here in Brisbane.
Pedal on bother!
Awesome riding... cool view on the chin mount... might need to point it up a bit though.... looking forward to seeing the other vids... 🤙🏽
Wow, that stoke is really contagious! I'm gone biking😁
Wow! Amazing ride on day 1. Been a long time since I've smelled Whistler loam. Inspires me to find a reason to get out west from the 416.
Saw the Eric version of this adventure earlier, too bad the second day was so wet. However, you persevered, you're a mountain biker, getting beat up is the tax, enjoying it is the reward...
Keep up the good work. One day I'll catch up to you guys on the trails.
Tq bkxc,for explaning the bike racing in the discipline of mtb.
Hey man, from Argentina. Your videos are awesome and addictive! Keep it up!
Love the raw edit, I like that you show the time of the first place rider and I watch in a Denny's in grand forks ND
Josh is more a beast on the bike than I imagined!
Haha I've been known to surprise people on my bike 😂
Beautiful colours with that camera too, nice one Brian
This video was amazing! Love the chincam, can't wait for more.
Now that’ s proper race! Keep grinding!
DAmn i really love all of your videos man. I've already watch like 4h straight on your videos imma keep it up ty
Great video. I love that youu had to improvise the camera setup - but it took nothing away. Like all of your content - this rocks.....and I've got to say it's probably also the best (unintended) real-world test of the Hero 7 I've seen yet.
Love your biking videos. Also i lime the chin mount better for the handle bars arent in the shot so much. Again great video!!!
10:40 some random info, lol!
Footage looks smooth as can be man, good job!
You looked real smooth out there, Brian. Nice job.
The video we have all been waiting for!!! 👍😎🌴

Wow man, just wow. My legs hurt watching this 🤣 Awesome video
Wow what a nice race and the footage is awesome.😎👍
Best Wishes and Big support from germany
The ews 100 looks awesome brian, Dream is to ride whistler being from the UK we have nothing near that good. Yet. Keep up the awesome vids man. 👌
Excelent Video my friend ! Congratulations and wonderful places
I cannot wait to come to whistler for the first time next year. This place looks like it has trails for everyone!
That’s a knarly trail. Nice riding. Really like the chin mount footage. Ride on!
Good job man! There were some really good section you cleared there.
loving the chin mount view less things to worry about just power bank battery pack and a wind cover over go pro its awesome been using this set up for a while i love it nice one brian
Really inspirational watching you guys attack that course!
Watching some of the other 'tuber videos, you sound like your enjoy it the most! Nice one
That was such a Gnarly ride...I was getting scared just watching....hahaha...Well done...you killed it...
That was an awesome video Brian! Great riding!
Nice send even with the left-right debockle! Good job bro!!!!!
