Ben Ge sup Ben Ge. I’m from southern Cali. Heading to Tucson on a lil business trip n looked up trails to ride. Besides this Shuttle run. Any other trails u recommend
44°F at the top and 101° at the bottom when i did this ride solo on a hardtail 29er for my birthday last year..... Brutal and sooo much fun. Great job doung it in 7 hours. It took me 10!
Thank you BCpov, as a local, I really appreciate the effort and quality you put into your vids. Excellent representation of some of our best stuff! Mt Lemmon is the Crown Jewel in T-town.
Thanks for recommending HG Tours, just rode with them yesterday and it was amazing!! Being an Ontario rider made for a pretty punishing day but it was all worth it! Gnarly trails and amazing views! Though your footage always looks awesome it can never do justice to the Gnar!
That made me home sick! I moved from Tucson about 15 years ago. I miss it so. The ride you did was actually my farewell ride I did with my Az. friends and I used to ride up and then back down Prison Camp every Thurs. night as a training ride. There is a lot of great stuff on Mt. Lemmon as well as some of the best desert riding anywhere in Tucson! Hope you were able to enjoy more of it!
Great quality video Eric as always,I really like your google earth views w the trails highlighted, it really shows perspective.I think you forgot to tell Juan your gals name, he kept referring to "her" Awesome job! And I liked Juan's low key guiding style, just subtle tips
Lived in Tucson for 12 years and sorry I missed these trails! Loved the video. Good memories of Mount Lemmon and the Santa Catalina Mountains. Beautiful.
I live 80 miles north of Tucson. You are SO lucky you got in & out before all the SNOW we just had! I should be doing the Lemon Drop this year! Awesome! Thanks guys!
So Mt Lemmon is the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains which reach an elevation of 9159 feet. At and near the very top are Aspens and a ski area which doesn’t open every year and is not good for beginners. Fantastic biodiversity and winter weather also.
Time 4:56 you said “soaker” that is uniquely a Canadian word. Nobody in the world understands that word more than Canadians. Still can’t wait until every Thursday morning to getting my BCPOV fix! Keep up the good work you two.
Hey pal... you know how to put a great video together..you did a awesome job picking out the music to go with the ride and location. This was an awesome video!!!!!!! Best way to drink some coffee and relax.
Mt Lemmon sure has a lot of fun riding on it. Glad you got to check out Tucson. CDO is really rad and way more fun to me than the stuff that's part of Lemmon Drop. But I like stuff that really feels like back country all mountain riding.
Hey, if you're ever back in Tucson, you should hit up a trail system know as 50 year trail to golder ranch! It's a bit more north and on the other side of Mt Lemmon near Catalina, but it has some awesome chutes and rock features! Bug's is my favorite and Golder Ranch is a close second
Awesome video! I was born and raised in Tucson and got into mountain biking there in the 90s. Great memories. I remember parts of that trail well especially all of the hike a bikes :-) Very technical
Well on a smaller scale, you can get that kind of transition out around Kamloops. Holds a special place in my heart for biking, that dusty town. And I see that that lady of yours is still rocking the old Norco... She needs a new Range, man. Norco should get on that.
This is so awesome! I was hiking up there recently and I was at the exact spot the trail starts at thinking "this would make a good mountain biking trail".
Tucson an undiscovered gem? There's trails all over along with an annual Tour De Tucson which brings in people from all over. The bike community is freakin massive. Also, the entire month of February the entire city turns into the biggest gem show in the world.
Lived in Tucson for 8 years, great mountain biking out there! If you get a chance try and do the Chiva Falls trail and Star Pass, both are a ton of fun!
I plan on swinging by in Jan or Feb 2021 for a ride. I'm wanting to do the Lemmon Drop. The vids AMD distance & shuttle makes me think of the Whole Enchilada in Moab, UT. I wonder which one is tougher, guess I'll find out. I've already done the Whole Enchilada.
Hi there - home trail question for you if you don’t mind. We are planning a trip to Whistler for 4 days of riding and was curious if you’d recommend a day of riding in Squamish or just stick with the trails in Whistler. We plan to do 1.5 days at the bike park so only have 2.5 days of trail riding. Thanks in advance!
Dude. Nice video. About how fast you guys going down? What bike did you ride? What camera do you use? Video very stable even though you're riding bumps.
As usual great video. your editing skills just surpass everybody else. I'd like to know your video setup and at what resolution you film at. I've been noticing differences between different camera resolutions with different youtubers when riders speeds up on the trail. It could be my puter, just want to ferret it out.
New to your channel. I love the format and this video in particular being that it’s in AZ. I think you’ll like South Mountain up in Phoenix if you haven’t already ridden it.
Hey, if you're still around make sure to check out the riding on the northwest side of town near Oro Valley. You'll want to check out the 50-year trail being sure to hit the Chutes, and the Upper 50-year trail. On the other side of Catalina Highway, you'll want to check out the Honeybee Canyon area trails, maybe linking them to the Tortolita area trails. Find info here: sonorandesertmountainbicyclists.wildapricot.org/RIDING-AREA-DES The Wild Burro/Ridgeline Loop is amazing!
So I live in Tucson and this is my first legit season of Mt biking coming from BMX. Compared to California where I used to live Tucson has ALOT of MTB trails and areas. I have a hard tail so you can understand when I say Green mt. Trail fucked my life up. I fell like 6 different times and I'm bruised and cut all over. But even just IN THE TOWN there are a few spots where you can ride and it's pretty awesome. If anyone is in Tucson and looking for some trails just head to a bike shop and get some info.
Your food stash spot at the Prison camp, I've been told, was a solitary confinement cell. Some say it's haunted. I don't know if it's true, but a interesting story nonetheless.
Hey guys, sorry if you watched the version with the video errors yesterday! I should have caught that!
Today's version should be error free!
BCpov no worries.. didn’t bother me at all😊👌🏼
Hi Eric - 2nd viewing 😊. We appreciate the hard work, detail and creativity you put into
This channel. Thank you!
-Sam
I just rode this trail for the first time today and it is amazing, definitely up there in my favorite trails list 🤙🏼
Video quality continues to impress, stoked to hit up AZ later this year as well.
Apparently, much of it is under snow right now!
I live in Tucson. I don't know much about bikes or trails but I could recommend hikes/food.
Love it when people ride our local trails
Ben Ge sup Ben Ge. I’m from southern Cali. Heading to Tucson on a lil business trip n looked up trails to ride. Besides this Shuttle run. Any other trails u recommend
Ben Ge he didn’t know there were mountains in our valley
This is what I love about living in Arizona. You can go from pine trees and 75° to cactus and 100° in a relatively short time.
you are the best in terms of Background music, may I know where u get all that amazing songs? Awesome ride btw hahaha
Yeah, BCpov: What album is the music from please? TERRIFIC! And Tucson is always terrific!!
Thanks guys! I get the music from epidemicsound.com
44°F at the top and 101° at the bottom when i did this ride solo on a hardtail 29er for my birthday last year..... Brutal and sooo much fun. Great job doung it in 7 hours. It took me 10!
I respect a guide who knows his limits and when to walk greatly, no room for ego when you can get hurt so easily.
Thank you BCpov, as a local, I really appreciate the effort and quality you put into your vids. Excellent representation of some of our best stuff! Mt Lemmon is the Crown Jewel in T-town.
Any recommendations on what month to ride this
Appreciate local advice

Hehe, he may have forgotten! I'm really bad with names as well and had to ask him his again later!

Yuka is so cool, she rides at her own pace and doesn’t complain and she likes Beer....She’s a keeper for sure
At 2:42 I will look down to see if there's any bodies or bikes
One of the best MTB videos I’ve seen. Great job. Nice music.
damn bro. thats shweet! a bit of everything. super awesomeness. Thanks for the Adventure
I almost always love your music choices with your videos.
Mt Lemmon sure has a lot of fun riding on it. Glad you got to check out Tucson. CDO is really rad and way more fun to me than the stuff that's part of Lemmon Drop. But I like stuff that really feels like back country all mountain riding.
What a road trip you guys have gotten in! Love those rides that start in one type of vegetation and end in another.
That must have been an awesome day... that looked so nice!!!
Hey, if you're ever back in Tucson, you should hit up a trail system know as 50 year trail to golder ranch! It's a bit more north and on the other side of Mt Lemmon near Catalina, but it has some awesome chutes and rock features! Bug's is my favorite and Golder Ranch is a close second
Thanks for the reupload i really enjoyed it
Toostoned is an awesome little town
It's always 420 in the 520!
Great ride and appreciate the narrative for details.
Awesome video! I was born and raised in Tucson and got into mountain biking there in the 90s. Great memories. I remember parts of that trail well especially all of the hike a bikes :-) Very technical

And I see that that lady of yours is still rocking the old Norco... She needs a new Range, man. Norco should get on that.
Well done , and thanks for all the details about your ride 👌👌👌. That’s what people that haven’t been there like me needs. 👍
One of my favorite BCpov videos. I have family in Tucson. Guess it's time to plan a visit. 😬
It’s nice seeing videos from my home town
Dude! Beautifully filmed and ridden. This looked so fun. MORE, need...more!
Wow what a great transition! I can’t wait to show you around in Colorado Springs!
I saw it yesterday and had no issues. Anyway..... nice adventure. Great music!!
This is so awesome! I was hiking up there recently and I was at the exact spot the trail starts at thinking "this would make a good mountain biking trail".
Beautiful trail and surrounding area!!
what a beautiful edit! Enjoyed that, thanks.
Muy buena travesia .Excellent work up BCpov long life.
Tucson an undiscovered gem? There's trails all over along with an annual Tour De Tucson which brings in people from all over. The bike community is freakin massive.

Ah so this is where the riding is at in February! Nice vid! This trail gets me stoked!
Amazing ride. Have wanted to winter there for awhile now
Would be nice to have these spots here in old blighty
I'm sure old blighty has some unique stuff itself!
Big day in the saddle! Nice Eric.
Looks like an awesome day! I gotta go visit my sister for some riding there!
Lived in Tucson for 8 years, great mountain biking out there! If you get a chance try and do the Chiva Falls trail and Star Pass, both are a ton of fun!
next time you come through tucson, lemme know. there's a LOT more to this town than lemmon (and yes, more to lemmon as well), and you'd love it all.
gretschhouse hmm really, heading there really right now from socal, what else is there ?
I plan on swinging by in Jan or Feb 2021 for a ride. I'm wanting to do the Lemmon Drop. The vids AMD distance & shuttle makes me think of the Whole Enchilada in Moab, UT. I wonder which one is tougher, guess I'll find out. I've already done the Whole Enchilada.
Nice video with trails of the common people
Great Video, what season or which month exactly did this happened
(Planning a trip there...)
wow, another amazing video, thanks, awsome landscapes😁😁🌵🌵
Love tucsons trails. i live here.
Nice vid! 100's of miles of trail in the Tucson area, lots of pedaling to do!
I live in Tucson Arizona and if you ever come back around I would like to take you to a different place
I just rode bug springs a week ago so watching you ride it was serious dejavu
Hi there - home trail question for you if you don’t mind.

Epic day on the bike! yeahhh!
Did you bump into Nate while you were there?, he just posted the same trail :-) another great vid Eric
Nate came much later than he did. Waved to Nate while he was coming out of prison camp
I did not see him!
Awesome video bro!
Right in my backyard! Nice video!
ty from italy! your channel is awesome!
This is where I live! Dude, Bugs Springs is the best trail! That one techy drop spot always scares the crap outta me tho lol
Just started watching. Like the commentary and info. One critique, I think they would be better (even more authenticate) with no music. Keep going!
im so happy there are so many awesome trails right by my house!
Music in the beginning sounds kinda looks gurudo valley 😂
Haha, it totally does! Ocarina of time ❤️️
Really want to go there
You missed an easy joke! The "Juan" and only... 😜
amazing ride!!!
Loving the journey!
You guys are talking about shade, all we want in Michigan is sun! lol
Dude. Nice video. About how fast you guys going down? What bike did you ride? What camera do you use? Video very stable even though you're riding bumps.
Juan is so good!
great job... Thanks heaps for this. :)
Nice trip bro 🤙🤙🤙🤙!!!!

New subscriber here... Your videos make me think of Red Dead Redemption but with MTBs lol lovin' it!
I live in Tucson and have been to Gordon heabeaki
Eric is a huge Spaghetti western fan and lifts all his sound tracks off them :-)
Tucson is next
I find it crazy their is a ski resort
Well looks like I didn't quite make the cut this time but Homegrown MTB tours provides some great tours of any trail in the area.
Maybe next time...
i wish i could ride right now, in Ohio all we have is rain, NOTHING BUT CONSTANT RAIN in the winter. Cabin fever is rapid out here lol
Does anyone know the name of the music in the beginning?
You should go to Flagstaff

It's been a few years since I did Milly, but it looks like you missed the Tequila tree.
So I live in Tucson and this is my first legit season of Mt biking coming from BMX. Compared to California where I used to live Tucson has ALOT of MTB trails and areas. I have a hard tail so you can understand when I say Green mt. Trail fucked my life up. I fell like 6 different times and I'm bruised and cut all over.

What psi do you run there
Great, give me another reason to want to live to AZ
Good work Eric. Great historical information and trail exploration. How soon will we see some Mexico vids?
Be safe & Ride well
-Sam
Nice
So good. 😁
Your food stash spot at the Prison camp, I've been told, was a solitary confinement cell. Some say it's haunted.
I don't know if it's true, but a interesting story nonetheless.
I just watched the video I know you pranks won’t see this but I road that same trail the day after you
if youre still in Tucson go to Fantasy island, have a few more spots but dont want them famous. lmk
The hike a bike at bugs sucks!
It’s like playing Red Dead Redemption on a bike instead a horse
