    Right on Brian! Man you guys were flying! Bruno must be feeling the pressure with you on him like that. Hahaha! Oh hey, when you don't have a bathroom fan, light a match, let it burn up the stick a bit, blow it out and let it smoke before you drop it in. The flame burns away methane and the smoke replaces the smell with campfire.

      Solid tip!! Thanks man

    Hi Brian, The word epic is not a strong enough word to describe this trip you are on. The scenery is incredible and so is the riding, you are getting much better. I got out today for the first time in six weeks, its been that long since my crash, it felt great. Take care

    • @bkxc

      Thanks so much Scott! Glad to hear you're back out!!

    I have watch all the "Mont Blanc videos" until this one in a raw! What a great channel! I like how little you know/care/mention all the bike or kit stuff and focus so much on the riding experience! Keep on Brian!!!

    Hey Brian
    Ive been following you first on UA-cam and then on Patreon for almost a year now but I can't let this trip go by without a comment.... this is by far the best yet...
    My wife said the other day "who the hell is this Brian you keep talking about" I said he's a MTB'er I'm following.... well he's more than that, he's the guy who made me get off the fence and finally buy a full suspension bike ,he's the guy who get's me out riding more,because after watching one of your video's I feel pumped up to ride, he's the guy who I can relate to on the bike....
    I entered my first MTB for the first time in 20 years this spring and had a blast....
    I feel its at times like this, with all the shit going on around the world that I have to surround myself with good people like you...
    Keep up the great work with the video's and inspiring people....
    By the way I'll be 69 next year

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      That's absolutely fantastic Andrew! These kinds of comments are my lifeblood, it's always amazing to know my videos are making an impact out there. Keep kickin' ass dude!

    Brian, are the guides you ride with always the most talented and/or experienced riders your riding with? Man your riding just keeps getting better. Some challenging stuff out there for sure! The beauty of the scenery is off the charts!!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Thanks dude! The guides are always the Masters of the trails during these trips.

    I quit smoking as a New Year's resolution because I wanted to get back on a MTB (I'm too old to do both.) A number of vids back, maybe Redemption, Brian was getting some down a trail when he yelled out "Smoke 'me if you got 'em!" I'm not sure even Brian knew what he meant-but it worked for me: smoking the trail or the tires or the brakes; A hilarious battle cry, and as someone kicking the habit it was just what I needed to hear. It's been 7 months now and I feel so much better, and being able to smell the trees when I'm out on the trail is truly a blessing. But when you don't realize that person scorching you on the climb is on an e-bike...WTF!!!

    • @karlfonner7589
      @karlfonner7589 7 років тому +1

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому +2

      Man, I live for this stuff Geoffrey. It really is what this whole thing is all about. Them more comments and emails I get like this the more I know I'm making an impact on the world. I couldn't do that sitting in a cubicle fixing the images on potsandpans.com.

  • @DarrenJamesNI
    @DarrenJamesNI 7 років тому +2

    That was by far the best run Brian. The mixture of runs were impressive - especially the last stage through the woods.

    Hey Brian, love what your doing with your channel! I have been watching since your Trance demo ride at Skyline Park, it was cool to see my local track in a video. Just wanted to say thanks for taking me along on so may adventures, your videos truly feel inclusive! Always entertaining...

    • @bkxc

    @Twentykixx 7 років тому +1

    Awesome, Epic, Picturesque, and a little cheek to cheek with the rocks tops it off. LOL! Great job soft landing Brian, would hate to see your vacation end way too early. BTW, every time you say "Bruno", it make me giggle. Remember the Russian bear in a Bugs Bunny Cartoon called Bruno? His claim in the circus act..."Bruno is STAR of show!". Hahaha! Makes me laugh, you are STAR of show. :)

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Haha getting cheeky with BRUNO!

    • @Twentykixx
      @Twentykixx 7 років тому

      Hey Brian, I know you ask us for feedback occasionally...So when you have such open terrain like the mountains in these videos, it would be nice to get a panoramic view of the topology you're riding. Not to mention the scale of the terrain and trail. A follow drone would be a nice addition. I can't see why the guide wouldn't be using one for his assessment. IMHO.

  • @lmccald545

  • @ciliatus
    @ciliatus 7 років тому

    Wow, i finally made it through all your videos Brian. They are awesome. I loved the landscape of your New Zealand trips the most. Maybe because i am from Austria (other side of the alps) and am used to the European landscape.
    But the most fun to watch was your Redemption 17 tour. I digged that stuff and fell short of sleep for 2 days.
    Keep up the good work. See you on the trail. ;)

    It's ok to bottom out your fork once or twice a run, just means you're using all your travel. If you bottom out regularly, then add some pressure.

    • @bkxc

      Yeah, good call, it was a little too easy to bottom out on those hits!

    I have been holding off signing up for patreon until the winter but this video feels like you gave me assess for free. Shame about the brakes, but I am sure a good shop could change them out for something more effective.
    this is the type of ride the word Epic should be reserved for.
    Take that over the Bronson???? damm that bike must be good.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Epic indeed my man!!

  • @Richard1976
    @Richard1976 7 років тому +3

    Yes always go non shared. Was quite hilarious seeing the 2 bikers pass you when you were walking... happened to me as well when i had a rough time, and 2 ladies passed me so easy and even were chatting. You feel quite embarrassed. Your bike has 27.5+ wheels? If so you like them better than 29ers? Have 29 now, but would like to go 27.5plus, just dont know if its worth it

    • @JefferySparks
      @JefferySparks 7 років тому +2

      thought Brian said 29er but still would like to know what size, since keeps saying "fat tires"... 2.4, 3.0 (don't look it) 2.5???

    • @circuitbreaker77
      @circuitbreaker77 7 років тому +1

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому +2

      HD4 has 2.6" tires on 27.5 wheels. I really enjoyed it.

    • @Richard1976
      @Richard1976 7 років тому

      Still it's weird the ibis has deore brakes. I have now a EUR 800 Cube hardtail and my brakes are deore. with XT derailleur. The Cube Trail/Enduro I aim for will have all XT (pricetag under EUR 3000)

    Could you do a video on recommended preparations for a trip like this? e.g. bike minimum/recommended travel, needed fitness level, required skills... Planning on doing a trip like this next year.

    Your occasional analysis of the Ibis Mojo is really interesting. I'm amazed that you like it more than the bronson! I have a yeti sb6 turq and a mechanic at the Fruita OTE claims the Ibis rides like a Cadillac, even over my yeti! Is it the suspension? Obviously not the brakes lol, but I'm super stoke that you're riding one in your videos. So interested in your end of trip review!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Who knows, but I think the Cadillac comparison is spot on!

    Can I ask what elevation most of this video was recorded at? I mean, were those 5000' mountains or 10,000' mountains in the background? Thanks.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  7 років тому

      Man, I don't remember, but I think I said the name of the hut, which is the name of the pass, which would have the elevation! Haha, everything was in meters, so it wasn't easy to compute for me.

    @willbros1499 7 років тому

    Absolutely incredible! I cringed at the guy lying his bike down on the derailleur side at the 6:10 mark. :-) The footage early on...in the wide open fields with the snow capped and foggy mountains in the distance...UNREAL. The trail that was at the 16:30 or so mark was amazing looking. I have NO IDEA how you ride those trails with all that beauty around you. I wouldn't be able to focus. We'll ride for miles just to get to one open vista like you're riding through the entire ride! Now you're spoiled, so when you come back to the US the trails are going to seem dull. ;-)

    • @tamasstrezi

    those were E-bikes (1:57) how did you miss that who's editing and Ben is on a drive train (the Pinion) that Doesn't impede the performance of the bikes rear suspension No rear derailleur,cassette plus the bikes weight is in its center, hug gear rang thats why he's fast 7:54 in these conditions and his skills plays in to but the bikes layout is helping a lot, i don't see a rear derailleur on Ben's bike so thats what I'm thinking

    • @1steelbeam
      @1steelbeam 7 років тому

      BTW thumps up on NOT editing out your spills and wipe outs Like some People do (Alex)
