Maybe leave an email address in the description so that people can email you about helping out. I'd suggest creating a new one just for the project. I live an hour or so away from Downieville so hopefully I'll see ya out there.
@@bmallory I didn't meant to hate on that type of content. It's just feels like every mtb youtubers are jumping on the trail building bandwagon. It's not actually a bad thing. It was more of an observation, than anything else.
Brian that poop problem you should see it as an opportunity, put a little convenience store with restrooms, worst case scenario an outhouse with a vending machine, but that problem could be turn into a little gold mine imo.
Make sure the convenience store sells bike stuff! Tubes, chains, quick-links, energy drinks, gels, energy bars, gloves, socks, other stuff that's gets consumed, broken, soiled, or forgotten.
Congratulations, I can feel the excitement in your voice. It brings back such fond memories of when I first got my 50 acres and how happy I was about it. Just remember the journey is the reward. It's so much work and takes so long, make sure you enjoy the process while it's unfolding.
@@bkxc Hey Brian, one quick question, is the Ale worth the drive? It's a little over 2hrs from me and I've been thinking it would be a great drive with the top down before the crappy weather months hit, but I'd like to know if it's decent tasting Ale before I get there, because after 2hrs behind the wheel with the wind in my face - I'm gonna be thirsty!
Big congratulations on your purchase! I bought 20 acres in the PNW, best placate start is with your local power company. Just have your plot number and ask to talk to a site engineer, most of the time they are very helpful and will meet you at your land so you can get a rough number of what cost are and where the best place to bring power in. Next up is a well, getting a "water witch" or dosser that has a lot of local experience is key, well drillers normally work with someone they trust. Mine cost close to 20k with the pump installed, the closer you have the well to power the better off you are. Then you can start to look at where you will need a road or a driveway to get the contractor to the area you need the well drilled. After that it is on to the septic system.
Very smart to follow Seth's lead! We all love to watch DIY trail building! Don't waste time....get a skid steer and a mini ex. People won't tune in week after week to see 50ft of basic trail being built. Seth is nailing this!
Spent my childhood vacations and couple college summers working up at Bucks Lake. Lots of swimming in the Feather River. Great area to ride and relax. So cool!!!
Amazing mate, you are so lucky to have a blank canvas with no legal restrictions. I have really enjoyed watching BCPOV build his trail, so I’m stoked to see what lies ahead with you guys. Good luck🤙🏻
So this is what Aaron meant by something was coming up. Congrats to you both!! Looking forward to this. Side note: I forgot you still had the Rav4. LOL!
Congrats on the investment! I’m sure everyone has a million ideas they are floating your way. My wife and I own 140 acres in eastern tn that I’ve been building my own personal MTB trails. A huge game changer I found and it’s maybe one that you and Aaron might consider is to get a dirtbike or two. Since there is a sizable amount of acreage, you will find having a dirt bike to hop on and ride out to where you need to get back to where you left off working on trails is an invaluable tool at being time efficient and letting you work longer and later than when you are hiking or riding your bike. It truly is great to be able to throw on a backpack with your tools, brap up to where you left off the day before and brapp back when you’re beat.
Most of the trails in the area are for dirt bikes too. Downieville etc. The Sierra Buttes build mostly trails for both. That way its easier to get funding and approval
I know the guy, Zachi Anderson who is the chief exec of Forest trails alliance and is an avid rider and great builder of trails. Also Mark DeMartini who also builds and volunteers. Need help late summer? I'm a small woman , but can Lop and help. Going to "Ride something new"... venturing from S.Lake Tahoe to Idaho on a grand road trip with my pal. Maybe we will , "See you on the trail"... Zachi has a Facebook page and so does Mark. Good luck! I'm excited. I love that area. Check out the trails in Forest City.. Great trails and rock work! Also the Mexican mine trail is going from FC all the way to Downieville soon. It will be a long ride downhill. Congratulations!!! So exciting!
That moment where I realize it’s more realistic for me to build my own bike park than it is for me to buy 1,200sqft house in Denver for less than $500k. 😦
Congratulations, that’s a dream come true. I started building trails back in Puerto Rico and can tell you that riding something you build on your own is one of the most rewarding feelings and mostly if no one can take it away from you because you own it. I’ll be happy to help any day.
This is amazing, Brian! You did it, bro! I remember you talking about doing something like this year's ago and there it is now. I'm so excited to see what it will turn into.
Add a water tank first thing and have water delivered. You are going to need one anyway and for now you can just set it a little uphill from the trailer. It will gravity fill the trailer so the man can take a decent poop and shower. A 2500 or 5000 gallon tank will last a loooong time if it's just servicing a trailer.
Congratulations on this purchase - in what seems like a great location! (BTW, I was in Downieville last week, and noticed that the Two Rivers Cafe there is playing your videos on a loop!
One of our biggest fears. We will be doing our best to get rid of dead underbrush. We'll be getting with the neighbors to see if we can keep this an ongoing thing.
Your bordering national forest lands. Control burns are a reality along with shitty people and unlucky weather. Getting as much of the brush under control would/should be a priority.
@@blueostrich We've been working on it right away. It's a lot of property but I think we can get ours in really good shape within a few months. Hopefully this year will be kind to us until we get it under control.
Grass Valley Locals here. My 14 year old's mind would be blown to run into you guys out on the trails. Spend most of the time riding Harmony Ridge and Auburn Ravine. Yet to make it up to Downieville.
Dude, congratulations from Japan! Been following you for a few months. Loved the 50 State shred! You have a gift! Good luck and Godspeed on your new trail venture!
Best of luck to you!! You have been an inspiration to train (TrainerRoad) and to start traveling the world to find the best trails. If we ever meet, your first Coke is on me! 🤘
BKXC congratulations you guys going to be some Epic trails so stoked for you guys and the mountain biking community. Thank you all so much from Wisconsin. Happy building anything i can contribute just let me know
That is fantastic. Well done in taking a risk in order to live the dream! Millions wouldn't. Will look forward to seeing this take shape over the coming months.
congrats on your new property, that very exciting to both of you. especially having to build a bike park and a campground. looking forward on the success on the property.
Put up signs along the road that read "24/7 Security Video & Audio Recording" or something to that effect, it should stop the majority of people crapping on the property. Congratulations on the land and new project. 👍🏻
This is so awesome man! Congratulations!!!! I’d love to plan a trip out there and help out with whatever needs done for a few days at some point as long as you’re ok with me moochdocking in my Sprinter!
Brian I live in Portola and stopped by Everstoke very cool can't wait to come and ride. I met Aaron and we talked for a while it is amazing how much work you have gotten done. Hopefully I will be able to make some time to come out and volunteer and bring some friends of mine along.
All the best in the new venture mate!! I’m sure with your passion, knowledge and fan base will make it a great success. Looking forward to watching the journey and see it grow mate.
Bro I’m exactly on the same mission here in Dominican Republic and the land scouting is the biggest part ! Congrats on that purchase it looks amazing !!! Have fun 😜
That’s actually really cheap. Even here in NWA you’re looking at closer to 7-10k an acre. I just recently bought a roadside plot for an orchard/nursery im starting up and paid well over 10k an acre, and it’s about 30min southwest of Fayetteville. The amount of equipment you need is amazing to really do frontier work to make something of the land. Really excited for you!!
Awesome!!! and very exciting! I’m so happy for you. It’s going to be epic! You have global trail experience. Can’t wait until you open up your first set of trails.
Great to see more enthusiasm and support for the town and surrounding areas. Such a beautiful place up there was sad to see howling dogs bike shop go out of business a while back. Maybe bkxc bike shop some day in its place who knows 😎. If you haven’t already the brewing lair is a must! Cheers.
This is the beginning of something really friggin' epic; a whole new frontier. So stoked for you dude!!
Hi
Hope you are doing well, alex!
Please put out a video 🙏
Seth has his park, BKXC has his, You next?
@@scarpenter218 you're literally still here commenting.
Video came out awesome! Stoked to be a part of this and still can't believe this is happening.
Congrats dude! This is sick!
@@robertharrison490 Thank you, words cannot describe how motivated I am.
This is so cool,will be watching how it all turns out and hopefully come ride it when I can leave the UK

Mountainbike youtubers building mtb trail : so hot right now.
yeah... this was one of the last "Legacy" channel that shows actual riding... I understand the need for a change in content type for a creator though
@@bmallory I didn't meant to hate on that type of content. It's just feels like every mtb youtubers are jumping on the trail building bandwagon. It's not actually a bad thing. It was more of an observation, than anything else.
@@coolwinner05 sure no prob at all. I, on the other hand, am no too interested in this type of content
@@bmallory I agree. YT is saturated with trail building content. I honestly don't want to watch anything but Brian riding trails
And we need MORE trails! 😃 Build baby build!
Brian that poop problem you should see it as an opportunity, put a little convenience store with restrooms, worst case scenario an outhouse with a vending machine, but that problem could be turn into a little gold mine imo.
I completely agree with this comment. You can set it up as a convenience store/campground entrance.
Diversify your income stream.
And add a charging station or two….
yes. that spot where people stop for a bathroom is the perfect place to build a store with restrooms and get new clients for your mountain bike park
Make sure the convenience store sells bike stuff! Tubes, chains, quick-links, energy drinks, gels, energy bars, gloves, socks, other stuff that's gets consumed, broken, soiled, or forgotten.
Anyone else notice that ring at 11:38??? Congratulations in order???? Did I miss something :-)
Amazing! Can’t wait to see this develop. STOKED!
Road trip trial building weekend?

On a long enough timeline every mtb UA-camr builds a van or trails.
Y'all did both.
So this is what Aaron meant by something was coming up. Congrats to you both!! Looking forward to this. Side note: I forgot you still had the Rav4. LOL!
it was killing me to keep this on the down low but I didn't want it to fall through.

That moment where I realize it’s more realistic for me to build my own bike park than it is for me to buy 1,200sqft house in Denver for less than $500k. 😦
Yup, I’d be lucky to find a house for $500,000 in Durango.
That 1,200 sqft would be over a million here in SoCal
Hard same out here in Northern California...
$500,000 in Alabama will get you a Yeti and a mini mansion on the river!
Better than San Francisco Bay Area . Same size for 1.5M.
Congratulations, that’s a dream come true. I started building trails back in Puerto Rico and can tell you that riding something you build on your own is one of the most rewarding feelings and mostly if no one can take it away from you because you own it. I’ll be happy to help any day.
Wow! Very gracious!
Whoa that’s awesome man. Are there public MTB trails in PR?! I used to live there
@@kevinbathke2137 all are public, there's plenty of trails around the whole island
Good Job Brian and Aaron, Congratulations on all success!
I am so happy for you to get to this point. I have been following you for a long time and you have come a long way. Much respect!
Heartfelt congratulations. I can feel your joy!

Put in some dry camping spots for RVs and trailers with a decent road and you'll get trail builders.
I would be down to help build!
I believe that this is all MTBer's dreams. You living the dream..... AWESOME!!!!! Cannot wait to see this new chapter of your life.
Totally wizard, dude! Prayers and good vibes your way! Victory will taste sweet...gonna happen!

Congratulations Brian! Remember what Seth said, "there are two kinds of people, those who like flow, and liars.

That's a pretty weak line. Pun intended. Flow is for dirt jump bikes.

Congratulations on your awesome new adventure
Excited for you guys!!! Have similar plans to buy property, build camping outpost and trails.
Congrats! Happy for you guys! Thats my dream!
bloody good idea, hope it works out. There will be a lot of Pain and Pleasure. I'll travel from Australia when u finish
Your hard work is paying off! Can't wait to see what this turns into. Best of luck!
This is epic. If it's in SoCal, I'd volunteer. Build a west coast type bentonville and I'll come every month.
Awesome !!! We wish you the best …
Oh the fact that you're friends with Seth is so fortunate!! Wishing you all the best!!!
Exciting! Happy for you guys!
Damnnnn Brian really levelled up! Big up to you dude!
I'm so happy for you Brian. A dream come true! You should def build a boundary trail or perimeter trail. Would be amazing.
Best of luck though.
Thrilled for you guys to take this jump! It's wonderful to see people dive into things like this. Looking forward to more of it!
Awesome!!! and very exciting! I’m so happy for you. It’s going to be epic! You have global trail experience. Can’t wait until you open up your first set of trails.
