    I've been riding for 2 years but Bobsled was my very first trail and everytime I do it, it's a total nostalgia overload. Nice to see you riding in Beautiful British Columbia, me and my friends are huge fans. Great riding by the way!

      Like a friggin' work of art! Amazing how much time and energy is put into this stuff so we can go out and have a blast.

      Thanks so much, man!

    Just so you know, @BKXC, the red pickup at 0:29 belongs to the legendary Todd Fiander, a.k.a. "Digger" who is credited for the majority of trails in North Shore and for its unique features. He's (and his friends) been building since the 80s. The guy is a real good show. Whenever I watched this video I can't help but wish that you knew it was Digger at the time, because the opportunity to say Hi to him and Thanks for his work, is rare.

    I love my back yard the North Shore mountains, just learning to ride and this is what I am lucky enough to learn on. Good video Brian as usual.

  • @Friskee62
    @Friskee62 7 років тому +1

    Just did some video comparison between this video and your newest Fromme video I just watched. You did well in both videos. Maybe even a little better in the newest one. Your skills just keep getting better...

    • @bkxc

    More great north shore trail building. Hard to argue why BC is considered the mecha of Mtb.

    • @bkxc

      Pretty cool!

    "This place is a trip" -- Great summation! You handled that technical stuff really well, impressive riding! I am about to head to Downieville and South Lake Tahoe for a week of riding. Planning to hit a few of the rides you did in Tahoe for the channel...TRT-Armstrong, Van Sickle-Star Lake, Spooner-Van Sickle. Hope I can handle the high altitude!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Hell yes! You're going to love it, man. If you're on Instagram tag me @kennedyish_ so I can see a pic or two!

    • @Tomzzzzzz
      @Tomzzzzzz 8 років тому

      Will do and hell yeah I am super stoked! Your trail guides and videos were key. I just got my bike back from the shop today after I blew up my shock last weekend at Demo. So I'll be riding with a brand new Fox DPS. Should be good!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Bad ass, dude! You'll love it.

      Thanks Alan!!

  • @magnetmedia
    @magnetmedia 7 років тому

    The red truck at the beginning belongs to Tod, aka Digger! He is the man that has been building those trails for the last 20+ years. You rode them trails like a champ man. Mad skills for your first time!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Very cool!! I cannot wait to go back and shred that stuff again. My skills really started to develop with this BC trip and have only gotten better.

  • @mtlxc5586

  • @KOCOMA1234
    @KOCOMA1234 8 років тому

    I've always felt lucky to have all the trails we have in Nor Cal but now I'm jealous. I really need to make a trip there sometime. WOW! Might stretch my skills even more and I might need a fs bike instead of my hardtail! :)

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Such a great destination, dude! Worth the trip.

  • @trailstokemtb
    @trailstokemtb 8 років тому

    Holy crap I just realized that you had this in the collection! I'm literally about 20 minutes from there if that right now. I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go!!!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Hahaha, do it!

  • @Bugattilover39
    @Bugattilover39 8 років тому

    My fave trails on Fromme are Bobsled and Espresso. They're not overly hard but so much fun

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      That perfect balance!

    • @Bugattilover39
      @Bugattilover39 8 років тому +1

      +BK-XC yeah the log ride is pretty difficult

  • @nickrogers6441
    @nickrogers6441 8 років тому +2

    Did you ride the "big rock" on espresso? Which was your favourite trail? I like expresso and floppy bunny. But there isn't a bad one, they're all fun and very well kept.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Dang, it's been too long to remember the big rock or what the best trail is. If you hear me saying "YESS!" in the video that's probably my favorite.

    • @nickrogers6441
      @nickrogers6441 8 років тому

      In the vid your buddy rode it at 9.05. I ask because I haven't had the nerve up to yesterday and I fell when I tried it. Next time I'll get it. Keep making vids.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Ah brutal. I didn't do it.

    • @nickrogers6441
      @nickrogers6441 8 років тому

      My knees wish I didn't too haha. I bought pads today for my next attempt

    • @fluffyninety
      @fluffyninety 7 років тому

      Pads are a good idea

  • @ChillyWilly72
    @ChillyWilly72 8 років тому +1

    Wow, that looks like an obstacle corse. So many spots i would have ended up in a tree. Looks fun but nerve racking.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Hahaha, tough mudder on a bike! It was fun AND a real butt cheek clencher!

  • @georgewrves7911

    @louibyrne8189 8 років тому +1

    Hey Brian, I love the channel but I would love to to see some more off the bike videos, such as bike reviews, how-to's and stuff like that. How would you feel about doing some more o these videos?

    • @navarredr
      @navarredr 8 років тому +1

      He has done a number of these in the past and I expect we will see more eventually. Currently, though, he is taking advantage of every moment of a 6 week LoA from work to travel as much as he can and ride as many trails as possible. Reviews and such can be done after a 9a-5p shift... Riding 'Top of the World' in BC.. not so much. :)

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому +1

      Hey dude! Yeah, I definitely want to fit in some of that kind of stuff, but if I only had to choose one type of video it would be the trail guide. So that's what you'll see the most of!

  • @ubnaka1
    @ubnaka1 8 років тому

    Awesome video! Just came back from Pemberton, whistler, Squamish and Seymour... Missed Fromme... Next time! Just subscribed to your channel, inspiring! Your vids are so clear... Any advise for me? GoPro? Settings?

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Thanks dude! Next time for sure! Check out my video gear link in the description.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      I haven't ridden the world quite yet, but BC trails are an A in my book!

  • @kaatinthehaat
    @kaatinthehaat 8 років тому

    Great video Brian. Shout out to Digger who is the guy that builds all the trails. That's his red pick up truck that we passed at the beginning of the video near the toilets and tool station. Fromme is so well maintained. Next time you come, we will ride Ladies Only.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      So well maintained, so much love went into that place, you can feel it!

      I rode my brother's Pivot Mach 5.7 in BC. My Colorado videos will be on my Bronson.

  • @deanherde805
    @deanherde805 8 років тому

    Wow Ben! Your skills have definitely gone up a few notches! That's some techy shit alright! Much respect for throwing yourself into it like that. Makes me miss my Pivot Mach 5.7. But I've got it's brother the Mach 6 now. Have you ridden one? Even better.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому +1

      Thanks Dan! ;) You gotta push your boundaries to grow, and this trip did that, 100%! I haven't ridden any new Pivots and it's a damn shame! Hopefully soon.

    • @bkxc

      I agree!

  • @jeffhulett4194

    what kind of skill level is this trail, black diamond, or intermediate, it looked like a tough ride with the huge boulders to ride over.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      This was over various difficulties on various trails. Here's a link to the mountain to check it out: www.trailforks.com/region/mount-fromme/

    • @iamhung9384
