    Brian I came back to this video.. I really love some of your older stuff before you had made riding and doing what you love your "job" . And now watching your stuff you have become so much faster. I am still supporting with patreon and will continue .. I believe in you and what you do and try to ride as often as I can .. keep it up .. loving redemption 17 too

      Thanks so much Carl!! It's truly appreciated.

    Looks like a great ride thru beautiful Oregon, especially with all the descending. Thanks for sharing.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Best ride ever! Thanks for watching.

    • @ConsciousCoder
      @ConsciousCoder 8 років тому +1

      Its definitely a bucket-list trail for me right next to Downieville. What made it your best ride?

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Really fun, challenging descents for days. I only get into that "flow" state a few times on a normal ride, but this was a TON of flow.

    • @ConsciousCoder
      @ConsciousCoder 8 років тому

      Interesting, nothing like that "flow" or i like to call it zen state. Ill have to make it out there one day from the east coast where our singletrack is pretty rocky. Thanks for sharing.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      And I've gotta get out to the rocky East Coast!

    • @bkxc

      Awesome! It was probably the best mountain bike ride I've ever done!

  • @Skarstind20
    @Skarstind20 8 років тому +3

    What an amazing ride! Definitely need to make a trip to the West coast to ride all these trails in your videos...they're so flowy and dry.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      It's worth the trip, man!

    haha welcome to yellowjacket...er I mean Oregon country. 2016 was a particularly rowdy year for them too! Your video definitely exemplifies PNW(and OROR)riding. The climbing is seemingly never over and the wayfinding is always a fun challenge. Glad you liked ATCA. Enjoyed the video!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  6 років тому

      Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

  • @davidflorendo8608
    @davidflorendo8608 5 років тому +1

    👍 for doing both the ups and downs. The reward of a good climb is a great descent.

  • @oregonxyz
    @oregonxyz 7 років тому

    I started riding in Oakridge back in the early 90s...
    always made a fall trip down to Oakridge from Portland - but fall colors are really not that great - except for the lower middle fork trail - probably best fall colors in the area
    always seen lots of hunters down there
    perfect fall day... riding an Oakridge trail - and then watching the Ducks at the pizza place in town (college football, for those of you who don't know)
    camping out - then going up to Waldo Lake area for a Sunday ride
    so many big trees -- classic northwest forest
    only way to beat it might be to do a little fly fishing as well, or at least some flatwater kayaking on some of the mountain lakes

    • @bkxc

      Gotta get there!! Those are all on the list

  • @lynguist
    @lynguist 8 років тому

    Watching another nice video of yours when i realized i really do not like the loud hubs anymore. I think you had one with the intense tracer maybe and one couldnt hear any sound coming from the bike. That was a fantastic experience.
    The thumbs up at the end made me laugh so hard! ;)
    Be safe, looking forward to the next episode!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Yep, the Tracer was silent and I really liked that as well. Definitely need to keep that in mind for the videos. Thanks man!

      The forest was angry that day, my friend!

    • @gweno8789
      @gweno8789 8 років тому

      I was angry the day I rode the ATCA, in fact before I finished the clover patch tie in I was cursing the mountain. I swear to god the uphill switchbacks were never going to stop. It's a miracle I wasn't cramping!

      When you're done with your little adventure, you should do a video where you rate the trails you rode from best to worst. That way we know where we should head for our own adventure!

  • @headoverbars8750
    @headoverbars8750 5 років тому

    Damn, we are planning a move to Oregon next year, however I cannot decide between 3 areas, Portland (work... I'm a Android software engineer)....
    Or Bend,... (Dry but still forest)
    Or elsewhere in the Interstate corridor....(Mediterranean climate with possible winter riding? )
    I like the idea of riding year round... where can I do this?
    I don't care about water if it drains well and ppl are ok with MTB in wet, I fear Oakridge and Bend may be too snowed in during winter?
    What is it like there?... (watching your vids on it.
    Lived all over US from Michigan to Arizona, California, Texas and Illinois. Mostly in capital city or near in each,....
    but it's the Pacific Northwest that calls to me!
    Then onto Vancouver, Canada in 5yrs.
    I can't wait!
    See a theme?

  • @valerikroumi8148
    @valerikroumi8148 8 років тому

    I know you already ordered your new bike but Intense just announced the release of the Recluse all mountain bike, looks like a perfect compromise between the spider and tracer. You should check it out!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Definitely! I loved the Tracer and the Spider, so a hybrid of the two sounds friggin' amazing!

    Rode this trail after seeing this when visiting family in Oregon a few weeks ago, (I'm a defense contractor living in Djibouti, Africa). Picked up the Bronson from Willamette Merchantile, they asked me about how I heard about this place, told them it was from BKXC!

    • @bkxc

    Great video! I've lived in oakridge for my whole life and sadly am just getting in to mtb it's cool to see all the love oakridge gets! Looking at getting the yt jeffsy but I need to figure out 27 or 29er I would love to buy at the mercantile but my budget says NO!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Fantastic! It's such an awesome sport.

  • @juancaicedo2007
    @juancaicedo2007 8 років тому

    That is a nice trail... And there is nothing better than do the whole ride that is the epic part of mountain biking... You should check Tiger mountain in Washington state and then the other one is Galbraith in Washington as well... There some other places like the San Juan island, anacortes, forks, Olympic peninsula, or if you want to go to another state I will pick Idaho there is a trail that have hot springs along the way...

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Definitely a good idea! Once I get the video about the bike up I'll link it. And once I get my OWN bike I'll get a link to it as well! Thanks for the suggestion.

    I noticed you rented the Mojo3, which is mostly a long-travel 27.5+ bike, but watching your video, it looks with all that climbing, and mostly flowly singletrack, if someone might be better off with something with less travel, and weight, like the Ripley 29er. Thoughts?

  • @theroosterblocker
    @theroosterblocker 6 років тому

    Just an FYI. They way you ride this is not the way that the locals do and is a lot more work and a lot less fun. ATCA starts at Kate's Cut-in and goes left at the Alpine Trail connector. Your first climb in your video is actually the reverse of the "Chrome Toilet" route. Nobody ever climbs from the bottom of FS 1912 to to very end of the Alpine trail. To ride the "Chrome Toilet" route in the proper direction you start at Kate's and turn right at the Alpine intersection. You then climb for about a mile on rocky single track until you hit the road and then the trail is directly to your right. You descend a glorious single track trail to FS RD 1912 and then climb that road back to Kate's where you then climb the short single track connector back to Alpine and take a left to do the rest of the ATCA ride. This adds about 1500 feet and another 7 miles or so to the ATCA route that you see on trailforks or mtb project.

    Awesome looking trail! How do you keep the video so steady with all the bumps? Does the gimbal help with bumpy trails? My videos are way too shaky to watch because of the bumpy terrain here in AZ.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Thanks man! The gimbal helps a ton even on bumpy terrain. I have a link in the description to my video gear if you want more details.

    BK - I'm visiting this area next month (I live in GA) and am planning to hit this trail. I'll be solo as well and am worried about wildlife. Did you bring bear spray or anything of the sort? Not sure if bear spray works for mountain lions...

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Bears are skittish, if a mountain lion wants to get you, it will get you. Don't worry about it, you'll be out there with other riders.

      Yep, only 45 minutes. I bring a lot of batteries.

  • @rigorhead01

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind some long videos. Maybe you could do a normal length video, then a long "director's cut" or something for the hard core viewers (like me!).

    Nice work dude, I feel your pain on this ride! I missed the Tire Mountain turn and my ride turned into a 32 mile 5800 feet of climbing on a speci enduro 29er 1x 30t. what ride was more soul crushing, the ATCA or comfortably numb at Whistler?

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Hahaha always a god damn battle! You know I think ATCA was harder because of the wrong turn. But then Comfortably Numb didn't have amazing long downhills

  • @derp-t4k
    @derp-t4k 8 років тому

    This trail looks amazing. I am planning a trip to the area in late October and enjoyed watching your videos to give me an idea of what I want to try and ride while in Oregon. Did you ride the Mckenzie river trail while you were there? Or anything in the Bend area?

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Awesome, glad you could get a little info on trails from my vids! I didn't ride Mckenzie or Bend this time around.

    • @derp-t4k
      @derp-t4k 8 років тому

      Keep doing what your doing! Enjoying the videos. Come check out Jackson Wyoming sometime we a ton of amazing trails and big descents!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Nice! I'll put it on the list!

    • @gweno8789
      @gweno8789 8 років тому +1

      I rode both trails this summer, the Mckenzie river trail has a lot of hikers on it and at times feels more like a hiking trail than bike trail. However it is a very scenic ride and has some fun sections of trail in it. In Oakridge I would recommend the Alpine trail over the ATCA, unless you want to get your ass kicked! Didn't make it to bend, but I would highly recommend you go to Oakridge instead of Mckenzie river trail.

    • @derp-t4k
      @derp-t4k 8 років тому

      Thank you for your advice. It's starting to look like I am going to be hitting Fruita/Moab as my biking destination. I live in Jackson WY so this is an easy drive for me. Second time riding Fruita. I have been to Moab several times, but haven't ever biked there so it will be fun. Looking forward to The Whole Enchilada and Kokapeli trails as my main rides. May still hit Oregon since I have 3 weeks off work.

    I don't even own a mountain bike and I can't stop watching your videos lol. Since I'm commenting I need your help because hopefully soon I'll get one. Just moved to Reno and I pretty much want to do the riding you do but someone who doesn't have the most experience idk which direction to go on travel and HA. I'm assuming 67 is the sweet spot? I'm also looking hard at the trance 3. Budget 2500 at most, any advice would be super helpful! Thanks man!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Awesome, glad to get you fired up! Holy crap, I really didn't know what you meant by HA or 67 until I thought about it for a second. That's how you know you're asking the wrong guy! The Tracer and the Bronson have been the two favorite bikes I've ridden, they both are longer travel and not the lightest bikes, but I don't want to be underpowered on the descents. No idea what head angle they're running! Get on some bikes, do some demos and feel it out!

    • @gageparks3939

      Gage Parks if you are still looking the canyon spectral al 6.0 is an awesome bike and the direct sale model gives you awesome value for money. That's at the top of your price point but they also make the 5.0 which is well within your price point. It's a 150 front 140 rear travel bike.
