Sampling some sweet Sedona singletrack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I've been wanting to get a taste of Sedona for a long time now, so I got some trail info from by buddy Adam (from my Vegas and SoCal rides). Set out on a solo jaunt that turned into a fun group ride on some sketchy stuff!

I saw this video earlier today and I went straight to Sedona. This is one of the best trails I've ever been to! Thanks for sharing!
Very cool!!
Enjoy your vids ! You're a really humble and positive guy ! hope you get to go on more adventures ! God bless
Thanks so much Allan!
Brian I personally didn't take any offense to your Patreon comments, but I see you're getting some backlash and wanted to chime in. A lot of people love this channel because you're including them on an awesome journey riding the best trails in the world. But when you say "without the 1% that actually cares," it makes a lot of your fans feel excluded and marginalized. I totally get the importance of your Patreon sponsors and you wanting to recognize them, I think you just need to tweak your messaging so it doesn't come off so divisive to casual viewers.
BTW I'm guessing some people didn't stick around til the end, because at 14:12 you nailed the messaging; really got me inspired and reminded me why I subbed to this channel several months ago. I'll be riding Sedona in a couple weeks and was stoked to see this vid - keep up the good work dude.
I definitely see your point about the wording! But having a strong message is my way of getting people fired up one way or another. I have no problem with people turning off my videos and moving on to stuff they care more about. I want to fire up the folks that care - even if they can't step up and support monetarily and just tell their friends or write subtitles.
Brian i see and hear what you are saying but i also hear what your audience is trying to relay to you, as you know i try and help in my own way and enjoy your videos and as such tell my mates about your channel ect.
Having said that i think the way it does come across indeed gets people fired up but not in a positive way that will have them reaching into the wallets even if its $3 or $5aus, I can sometimes deliberately not do something if i feel I'm being pushed.
I also watch a young Aussie couple following their dreams of sailing around the world, their channel is a massive success and has well over 250 k subs and they to use Patreon which is now bringing in over $9000 each on (average weekly sometimes more) episode if you would like to check\k them out they are "Sailing La Vagabonde" they spawned a stack of others trying to emulate their success and way of life.
They offer Patreons trips on their boat by the way of a random draw ect as well as other incentives, they do it not in a pushy way or in a way that upsets their audience but as you can see have people paying as little as $1 per episode or as much as $200 per epp.
Not telling you how to suck eggs mate but they are setting the bar really high and show how it can be done. so much so that they have just scored a 1million dollar catamaran on a deal with the company who builds them through this.
I guess another point is a watch allot of channels and allot are now using Patreon, so who do i give my money to? everyone i watch at a cost to me of $100 or $200 per month or per episode?? No i think not i choose one or maybe two at best and i will prob choose the one pr two i enjoy and feel relaxed and not forced into chipping in to help out.
Maybe the extended cuts, and different bundles or levels of help will be a better way, get a sticker and vids level one and up to shirt, stickers, pair of gloves ect and a chance for a meet up / ride and being added to the vid?? may be a better way to attract more support? catch more bees with honey so to speak??
Anyway ill keep enjoying your vids and passing the word around, I hope i haven't come across rude but feel that riley and Elay from "SLV" set a great example of earning a living from this style of life.
Wasn't sure whether to comment or not but I gotta say the keyword is "actually". It made me feel shitty as I have been enjoying your videos and what you're doing but haven't quite subscribed to Patreon yet. There might be better ways to word these messages going forward. That said, remember to ask yourself that if it wasn't for youtubers, would your Patreon be as successful? Glad you got to Arizona! I look forward to those Alex (and Seth?) Sedona vids!
Haha! About time you got some red dirt on your bike!!! Conditions look all-time.
Man, that dirt is so damn pretty I didn't want to wash it off.
Arizona is the best! Come do another video soon! Love watching you ride. Gets me pumped to ride myself.
Chuckwagon is good trail to pair up with Mescal.
Hey Brian nice to see that you enjoyed Sedona! So many Creek crossings! I had to do 10 of them on a trail called Girdner. Haha glad you experienced some of that. It's funny how the Extreme path is easier than the Difficult haha. Mescal/chuckwagen are sick trials though! You should have gone down Canyon of Fools that's just off of Mescal though; its a blast with berms and a wall ride at the end. Well hope you come back another time, because there is so much more to ride in Sedona! Have a good one and thanks for the vids!
Yes, I've heard Canyon of Fools is a good one! Lots to come back to!
Climbing game getting strong!!!🤘
Trying my damnedest!
I think he does appreciate the subs. Maybe the way he said it didn't come across overly well but it can be difficult to make sense when you're riding, I know I struggle. I think the important thing is that people are inspired by the videos otherwise the channel wouldn't be so popular.
I do appreciate everyone, especially anyone that says they were inspired to get out and ride because of my channel. That means the world to me!
Wow some amazing views .. spectacular Brian 👌🏽
Thanks so much Suresh!
Nice, i've done this twice and loved it both times :D..nice ride.
Sweet!
I just checked out the Tasco website, never heard of them before, but their gear is really nice and I bought some T-shirts.
They've got some really cool stuff!
Nice to see you getting some non pov shots man !!!
Always gotta try to mix it up!
Beautiful trails man. 0:53 Brian overlooks future wife scenario.
😬👍
MTNops I thought he was paddling in the wrong direction also!
shoulda turned right around and finished up that ride with her, lol
your bike looks sick with that red mud on it. Cheers!
Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool too!
I was in Sedona a couple of weeks ago for the festival had a GREAT time - put this on your calendar if it's not already.)
What my friends and I found was that, in contrast to where we usually ride (around Orange County, CA), the trails are much more rolling and technical, both up and down. Here in the OC we seem to get into long climbs and long descents (sometimes for many miles), whereas in Sedona, the trail goes up for a 100 yards, then back down for 100, then back up for 20 yards, then back down, etc. For that reason, we never really settled into an efficient climbing position (post up, suspension firmed, etc.) and it seemed like the work load was much higher on a ride of comparable length and climbing total. The 4,500' to 5,000' elevations probably didn't do us any favors either, we live at about 200'.
Anybody have similar observations, or care to offer another explanation?
Moab is like that too! Instead of the really steep steep climb and then bomb down, you get bits and pieces. I love technical climbing!
Good to see you adding some 3rd person footage! Have you consider additional GoPro angles? Rear wheel, facing you, suspension footage etc.?
must be a pain in the ass when editing
Yeah, they're interesting but it then becomes a video shoot instead of a ride, gotta have some balance.
yea and not to mention with all the dirt flying, possible covering those more than is worth.
That's actually really helpful thanks man
greetings from south Africa!
Howdy!!
sedona? more like... sedon't'a go there again without me! ;) #ineedsomesedonainmylife
Hahaha! I've gotta get back, only did this one ride.
Interesting that you consider 99 % of your viewers don't care
That's one good looking Bronson there in the end. Nicely covered in local dirt. Clearly ridden, and not a trophy bike.
I thought so too! Picture perfect!
Bryan, you could also put just less than a minute or so, but kind of a review of your colleagues' bikes as well
My son suggest you go to Dubi and ride around the tennis court located 1000 feet off the ground - would get you a million views for sure - burj-al-arab-hotel,dubai
Hahaha, that'd be awesome!
clearly you dont know BKXC very well
I really enjoyed the video!
Thanks so much Jan!
It's cool to see water in the 'dry creeks'. I did that exact trail in July 2016. Had to start at 5:30 AM to avoid any heat exhaustion. The same day I rode that trail it got to 95 by 11:00. The guys at the LOB told me to go to Flagstaff and ride and the high was 55 degrees that afternoon due to a killer thunderstorm that came through. It was such a drastic change in the temps and terrain and well worth it.
Are you planning on riding some up at Flagstaff too?
Holy moly! What a temp difference. Just in Sedona for one day of riding, so I'll have to get back later.
Got an email saying my riding blind shirt was being printed! Saweet
Awesommmmme!
I goota say Brian im kind of offended by your comment that if your not on patreon then we are not supporting you, i disagree. I have been with you from the very beginning and tell people about your channel, i have even bought a tee shirt. No im not on patreon but i still support you. Just my opinion but i thought that was kind of a shitty thing to say.
You're definitely in the 1% of people who support me if you tell your friends and buy a shirt!
Seriously. I can stop watching if it bothers you that much.
grow up
Love those days you plan to go solo and it turns into a family affair!!! Beautiful scenary thank you for showing it off!!!
Hahaha, definitely!
I think that was Alex Pavon who you passed towards the start of the video! She is a pro that rides for Juliana Bicycles (Santa Cruz women's brand) and I think she's based out of Sedona.
Haha, I think it was too now that you gave me a name to look up!
Yeah, I recognized the bright blue kit
wow amazing views out there. I normally ride with my boys but when I have a solo ride every now and then it helps to get the mind right but you are crazy driving to another state to do a solo ride. I still get lost in the mountains I'm familiar with, couldn't imagine going to Sedona only relying on GPS lol. Props to you. Great video as always Brian
Hahaha, Trailforks is a must!
Hey Brian, I rode Chuckwagon on Friday March 3rd while up the for the Sedona MTB festival with my brother. Weather was fantastic and the trail was much drier and the creek crossings weren't as bad. Put the festival on your calendar for next year. First weekend in March. We usually go up and rent a big house, you can crash with us. Just saying.
Wow, I rode this on Wednesday March 1, so it went down fast!! I was at the festival Friday morning at the Handup booth! Posted it on Instagram, musta missed ya!
Dude you don't say, I walked past the booth and thought about you since I have seen your gloves in the videos. Friday morning was da' bomb. Did chuckwagon on a YT demo bike. Really bummed I missed you. Next year
Hell of a trail, great ride!
😁👍
still got some time bro and as I said I'm gonna come for sure to check out the trails in the United States and Canada in 2-3 years and I'm down for it if you're interested too it would be a pleasure to meet you! if not I'm not mad at any point cause you're a busy man! Keep on living the dream my friend!
Yeah man, you know where to find me!
Do you take your shoes off at the creek crossings or just ride with soaked feet?
Just go for it
I was one of your first 50 subscribers here, got all my MTB buddies to sub to you. But I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me to hear you say that the 1% of Patrion folks are the only ones who care about this thing and want to keep it going.
You don't see Nate Hills, Seth, Phil or any of those guys putting down their long time UA-cam supporters and hauking for money from Patrion.
While I do enjoy these videos, you're not providing some must need service that I can't live without. I understand the time that must go into this hobby but I too devote long hours of my life to support my family, put a roof over their head. And hopefully having enough of that time and money to get out and ride myself.
I guess I don't care enough to provide you with a life that allows you to ride a bike for a living.
Nooo another river ;). Nice! Love the red rocks, love to ride such places. Climbing skils - insane .
Haha, it never stops!
What kind of shoes/socks do you wear so that your feet aren't totally water logged for the rest of the day? Or are they?
One of my favorite trails! I actually did this about 1 month into getting into MTB, it was a bit difficult for me and my hardtail haha but I had a blast!
What I love about a lot of riding out here in AZ is it is generally pretty peaceful and quiet :).
Peace and quiet is always a welcome thing!
Some peaceful shit right here!
your bike had been getting very muddy the past couple rides you had at least 4 creek crossing
Definitely!
Hey Brian! I've been with you since the beginning and really enjoy your videos. You've even inspired me to organize a trip to Oakridge that I am taking with my friend early June! I recently told him about your channel and about your Patreon, which he is now a member of as well! Thanks for the motivation and the great content!
Hell yeah! Thanks for the support!
Is this before or after your bike falling off the rack (forgot who's rack it was)
This is a couple weeks ago
how did you like that big uphill after the creek crossing? lol
just saw you did Mescal too...awesome. same as i did
Very cool!
Do you notice a difference in your ride after you ride in water?
Just wet feet!
You finally made it to Mecca. You should make a top ten destination list after all of your travels.
I only scratched the surface, gotta get back soon!
I was in Sedona few weeks ago for the Sedona MTB festival. You must have been just before or after that! If you ever do the Mescal trail again I would recommend doing a rear view cam when traversing the exposed cliff section. Just an amazing shot/angle. Check it out here, around the 3 minute mark: ua-cam.com/video/s4maXpt7vbY/v-deo.html
"for the one percent that actually cares" ... way to endear yourself to the 99% ... I get it, but there's thousands of UA-cam channels, and not everyone can afford to support all the favorite channels via Patreon. Subscribing with alerts and watching shouldn't be ignored, and when you insult the majority of your fans, that doesn't leave a very good taste. If you want to blame someone, blame UA-cam for not supporting their content creators, not your fans.
really wish i could support what your doing, i really enjoy the videos, but currently i have no income so its hard for me, as soon as i get a job this'll be the second thing im going to support (first is spotify :P)
It's all good buddy, tell a friend, that helps a ton!
One of my more favorite videos in a while, great job capturing it felt like a small adventure!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Tony!
A lot of people getting "offended" by one misinterpreted off comment. Are you really offended or are you just trying to find reasons to be? He spends a lot of time and money bringing us trail insight, and most every one of us takes it for granted. All he was trying to do was recognize those who help contribute to provide the means for this to continue.
Thanks dude, I appreciate it.
It's always fun running into people you know off your channel. Those off camber smoth yet rock bankmemts where sweet.
It's pretty dang cool to make these connections in REAL life!
yeah i just watch casually here and there so i don't matter, i don't count, and frankly i don't care.
Lmao I love your videos and how your personality rubs off. Def would love to go on a ride with you when your in AZ
prachtig
All of my shits are peaceful
Hah zen
I like to stay at the Sky Ranch Lodge which is not expensive if you book it in advance. I also put my wallet in a plastic sandwich bag. I keep another fresh plastic bag for my phone when I cross any larger creek. Here is a large panorama that I shot in Sedona a while back. Click on the play button to see it and zoom in and around. www.stoneyphoto.com/boynton-canyon-sedona/
Seriously good idea about the ziploc bags for the valuables!! Ah, Chrome doesn't like the Flash player anymore so I'm missing out on the big ole panorama!
Agua fría 🤣 good Spanish Brian 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Marco! I want to learn more.
Brian is a very smart guy, sure you learn very well, your Spanish is very good.
Great vid. Very inspiring to check your videos and start listing trails to ride on my bucket list! I loved the ones in the Basque country...maybe next MTB trip to come, but must say Sedona looks amazing.
Have you tried drone shootage? Would be awesome to add a different perspective to your ride. The latest DJI seems super portable! And in case you'd come to Switzerland, let me know.
I have a drone, but it's pretty tough to film without turning the ride into a film shoot. Instead of riding it's a lot of takes over and over. I am heading to Switzerland, shoot me an email bk@bk-xc.com
Jo Brian my friend is everything allright? Damn we had a harsh winter in austria but now the weather is great i couldn't wait any longer to ride my bike again....but the time has come and since 2 weeks I'm back whooping ass on my nice bike every day! damn bro I missed it so much! And without being cocky or something like that cause I'm the last person who would be like that just as you are I'm 100% sure bout that but I have to say slowly I really start shredding hard my skills improved sooooo much in those 2 weeks i almost can't believe it! and that makes me really proud and I've never felt so good and confident in my whole entire life like now! but enough about me I hope you're not bored from that story but I don't think so honestly I think you're pretty hyped to here that cause we both love riding and it's just amazing what a mountainbike can do with you! in my opinion it's magic! Are you doing fine? Everything great as always? Hey man if you're in Europe one day please peep me it would be a pleasure and honour to ride with you man but I still need a little bit more time maybe 1-2 years but than we can really go for a f**kin' ride if you'd like to! I wish you nothing but the best your friend(hopefully ;))Steph
Hell yes, man! Gotta push yourself to get better, but it's always scary to do it. I'd love to do a bad ass ride with you when you're ready to kill it!!
Love West Sedona Tour. Rode there last September. Mescal has that fun slick rock and expert line. Back on the bike last Monday six months post shoulder surgery - feels good but my fitness is horrible. If you're ever in Sedona again, would love to join ya.
One step at a time dude!! Get some!
Buddy, just want to say..! I know u speak ur mind. When tired and sunny, we just speak sometimes. Just FYI if we subscribe we care. if we like we care. if we tell friends we care. if we watch ur vids we care. (frustrated) this vids is more fun that when hanging out with people. I think us viewers we focus on what is front, when there is a human. we follow that human. when there is no human we follow terrain..funner !!
Definitely, man! I love hearing about inspiring people to get out and ride. I wanted to fire people up, and I think it did, for better or worse!
Great video!!!
Heading out to Sedona in January.
I don’t usually wear knee pads, but I’m considering them for thorns. Any thoughts?
Jim
Knee pads are well worth it to wear for the random abuse. But I don't remember the thorns being a huge problem in Sedona.
Dude I thought you was going in circles with the creek crossings. Was it the same creek or just three different creeks? Be blessed
Hahaha, same creek over and over! Another guy said he rode it 2 days later and the creek was wayyyyy lower, so it makes sense that the trail goes through it a bunch of times.
Damn Brian that makes me feel really honoured and that made my day bro! I'm pretty sure if I keep up doing the awesome riding I'm doing right now and I ride everyday day as you know now matter what nothing can stop me from riding my bike and exploring different types of trails and also take some technical training and always go past that point where I may could shit my pants and I also never take the easiest climb I try to manage the hardest one there is something really steep and technical sometimes of course I can't do it there's no shame but than I take a brake and then it goes on cause you won't get better when riding up a fireroad everytime and also it's not the real deal and on the other side it's boring as f**k cause you can't enjoy the magic of the nature and the absolute beauty! sometimes it isn't possible to avoid the boring stuff! I think in about 2 to 3 years I'll be won't be able to keep your speed but I think you would not wait too long! I mean you are a true ripper on the bike your badass! And I'm always down to go for an epic ride or even a hard battle love taking myself to the limit! so if you're in Europe or somewhere just hit me up I'm always down and it would be a dream come true actually and I'm talking from the heart no bullshit! I would even come to the states yeah no matter where;)! keep on going man you're doing it absolutely right my friend! I only now you through UA-cam but I'm proud beyond imagination for you! You made your dream come true! !! madest respect Brian! you're a real rolemodel as I said many times before or even better a pioneer!!!!!!! Take care g
I appreciate the kind words, Steph!! I hope I can make it over to Austria some day!
Brian you are living my dream. Forget what people say or think bro. just keep doing you. this is the world wide Web, eventually people are going to get offended. gotta be doing something right since you're able to live this dream!
Thanks so much, dude! I honestly think it's a good thing that people get fired up one way or another, it means they aren't just wishy-washy on what I'm doing.
Hey there Brian. Just curious what shoes you are using these days. Got a quick glimpse in this video but can't make out the brand. I am considering going to clipless this year and looking for recommendations. Cheers.
Hey dude, they're the Crossride Elite by Mavic: amzn.to/2mJV6Xu They've been really good to me so far!
not that i'm getting upset but you should clarify. that although we don't donate. we still help.. allot. just saying. like i would donate but. can't afford it.same to the many other people just like me.
Yep, there are lots of ways to keep the channel going like telling a friend, writing subtitles and just commenting!
if you havent already, scorpion to pyramid, then take old post to skywalker. its a pretty short loop but its hella fun!
Ah man, next time!
scorpion and pyramid are amazing, lots flow and awesome descents! i could do them all day long (climb back up the road)
Great vids and your a firkin funny dude! On your way back you need to ride Bootleg Canyon near Vegas. I know you already rode Blue Diamond, SW Ridge, but you need to shed a little blood and donate it to Bootleg!
Yeah, I definitely need to check out more in Bootleg!
dude really nice trail, btw I know it was like a second but I felt some connection between the girl and you hahaha JK,, quick questions, do you listen some tunes while riding solo or not at all. keep this awesome adventure.
Haha, missed connections! I don't listen to tunes, I really love the sound of nature.
awesome ride buddy .....why all this people get so emotional about what you say of the patreon supporters .....
Thanks Juan! They also care a lot about the channel and my mission, so they were hurt that I said they don't truly care. I get it!
Brian, amazing again thanks for inspiring everyone to get out and travel. When did you ride this trail ? could you possibly add a little more info in the start like best time of year to ride the trails you visit etc. Thanks for everything !
Hey Daron! I rode this a couple weeks ago. I usually have my Strava in the description but I forgot to start it. This is the only time I've been to Sedona so I don't really know any more info!
I'm hitting Sedona today for the first time on my bike....can't wait. its gonna beat me up on my hardtail though!
Awesome!
I always talk to myself Brian, it's the only way I get the right answers! Beaut scenery. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hahaha, love it Jon
Damn the winters here in CT just suck...still going out riding in the snow
Yeah you guys on the east coast are still getting pounded!
Great video! Thanks! I think I can try this one!
Sedona is so awesome to ride. The trails rock and the views can't be beat! Just stay away July and August!
I've gotta get back, only did one ride in Sedona!
Ever land on one of those prickly pear cacti?
I'm definitely checking out Sedona now, hopefully I do as well as you did when I get there. Great vid as always.
Hell yeah, love that I inspired you!
Just found your channel... but I was there the next week! Still a little wet. You do any Broken arrow trails?
This was the only trail I rode out there! I got sick! I'll be back.
I'm sure you could convince me to watch a video of you riding with Nate and the Sampler.
Haha I concur
Great video Brian! Awesome views from those Awesome trails Brotha! Sweet!
Thanks Edd! That red dirt was a thing of beauty.
This makes me can't wait to ride, even though we just got 6 inches of snow and ice in Philadelphia after a super warm February. The snow and moisture can't go away fast enough now! Looks like some fun trails!
Seeing Brian ride these nice sunny trails makes me sad that I have to deal with Stella and the North-East in general :(
One day closer to sunshine every day! Keep holding on!
what tires are you running??
Maxxis Minion WTs. Link in the description under "my bronson"
hows Alexander doing? I haven't or seen anything from him in awhile.
He posted on Instagram recently, still rehabbing!
Nice. Brian, I was wondering..do you think you'll get back to doing some series of bike reviews again? I was thinking of some of your earlier vids..thought that was pretty cool. And it'd be interesting to get your take on some bikes again now that you've really progressed. The yeti 5.5 is calling your name for a demo ride ;) I'd like to get your take on the 4.5 too..and other bikes like the ripley, tallboy, etc. Either way, always enjoy your videos.
Yeah, not many demo days during the winter, so hopefully I can get one a couple bikes here soon!
BKXC Oh snap..didn't think about lack of demo days right now. Anyway, for some strange reason I really wanna see you riding a 29er. And btw, I too am looking forward to that day when you get to ride with Nate.. that'll be sweet.
Thanks for your awesome content, you inspired me to start riding here in South Africa 👌🏻 keep it up!
I find it hard to believe that with all the places you ride, you have ONE Sedona vid! Chuckwagon is fun, but West Sedona Tour is pretty Meh compared to what Sedona has to offer. Any plans on coming out again? The best riding is during the winter out here.
Dude, I was planning to ride more but I got sick when I was in Sedona. Had to drive my sorry ass back home. I will make my way back!
BKXC Funny you mentioned that. I actually rode Chuckwagon today after waking up with the flu. It suuuucked, but I was just so excited to start the red rock season. (We drive down from Flagstaff when it starts getting cold, or snowy up there) Can't blame you a bit for heading home. Losing your lunch on a downhill is no fun. (Especially for the guy behind you, haha)
For the peeps that are getting full tard about what Brian said, get over it. No one is forcing you to contribute anything, whether money, sub, or comments. Your quick to watch his video and make a negative comment. Mountain biking is a positive thing and Brian's videos have been positive. Go watch some "epic fails" videos of you can't handle his positive content or a simple comment he makes. No need for that negative cloud on this platform.
Haha, thanks for the backup, Daniel. I forgot exactly what I said (recorded this a couple weeks ago) and when I watched it back I was definitely surprised how upset people got. I stand by what I said: the 1% of people who support me financially (t-shirts, stickers, Patreon) are the ones that make these videos happen. But on the same hand I truly appreciate everyone and especially the people that send me messages saying that I've inspired them to get out and ride. Those messages are the spiritual fuel that keeps this thing going, but it takes a little more than spiritual fuel to travel the world and ride bikes!
Anytime Brian. You are a inspiration to ride and I don't think people need to bring that negative vibe to such a positive thing you bring to our sport.
Hey Brian, I just took a trip to Sedona this morning to ride this trail because of your video. Loved it. Never would have known about it. We did a 10 mile loop starting at the parking lot on the south side. Amazing ride. Thank you!
Wow!! That's so cool.
BKXC with it being July and still no rain we didn't have the flowing water experience you did, but still a fun ride.
Those views!!! So jealous! We don't have those in Illinois. lol!!!
Crazy views!
If you're ever out this way again with Alex, I'd be great to to ride with you. I'm not in Sedona but in Flagstaff, AZ. It will be much cooler in the summer.
Very cool!
BKXC let me know, I can probably put you guys up for a weekend. I'll tell the wifey to visit her parents 😁
greetings from Punta Arenas, chile. the chilean patagonia!
Hola amigo! I want to ride down there!
Wish I could support you through Patreon but from being 15 with a minimum wage job and a new bike coming soon, don't have a ton of spare cash. Keep up the great videos!
It's all good, dude! Tell a friend!
BKXC Yep will do!
I'm actually in school right now, but always got to find time to watch your vids!!
Hahaha, gotta do whatcha gotta do
BKXC yeah man, I was in lunch so...
Cool to see Sedona in winter. I road there when it was hot as hell heading out just at sunrise.
Oh man, I can only imagine!
wouldn't like to get lost out on those trails
Yeah, it seems a lot more remote than normal!
If your ever in Phoenix, Papago park has great trails
I've heard great things!
Great vid as always but.. No licensee plate? 14:36
Not yet!
I guess the people that don't step up and pay don't care. haha Seems like a growing trend in your videos. I've been here from the beginning and always thought you were a pretty down to earth kind of guy. Am I wrong here?
BurninatorTheTrogdor Yeah no kidding. This channel had less than 1k subs when I found it. Guess that's not good enough anymore.
Telling a friend and doing subtitles helps too, and I've said that just as many times. But these videos don't exist without Patreon, so they deserve a shout out.
BKXC Yeah because 3 bucks a month is a lot of money.......
Oh freakin' please, are you a twelve year old girl? I'm sure he understands that you care so deeply about him, sorry he didn't make it clear enough for you.
I'm more than willing to give three bucks I just don't want to hear about it all the time.
Like the 3rd person !!!
Watched quite a few of your videos Wont watch again
Sounds good!
