People always complain how Brian can’t jump or doesn’t risk this or that. They need to watch this video. That is some insane chunk and you mad it look easy. Everyone has their skill set. This was exceptional riding 🍻
Watching his videos made me realize that I don’t have to push to jump or do big drops, Brian goes around or rolls most big stuff and his rides are always epic
Yeah, was thinking the same thing! He might not be the best jumper or the most "dangerous" rider in the world, but holy shit the dude can ride! Some of the stuff in this video just looks straight up unrideable, and this is not even taking into consideration that he was following Jeremiah!
Nice to see the emphasis on exploration of potential new routes. Decades ago THAT WAS FUN part of single track riding. In the 90s I rode with 4 guys from work over a long lunch hour and WE had to find potential routes--our motto was any deer trail could be a mtn bike trail, and we carried pruners and saws to clear obstacles. Yup, I'm an old man, 67, and taking grandson to Bentonville this (July 2021) weekend. He will be jumping and dropping everything, gopro equipped, and I'll roll it all, and say "do that again" and take pictures. Mtn. biking is going through same evolution as downhill skiing did, all good, and provides fun and challenge for a wide variety of riders.
Yeah, but many of us cut our teeth riding rigid in the early days. Moab's portal trail without an ounce of suspension, cantilever brakes and 1.9" tires & 26" wheels. Today's 2.5", tubeless 29'er XC full suspension bikes make it SO much better by comparison. Oh and it was uphill ALL directions in the snow too, of course!
I have always loved your cheesy/dad like sense of humor, but there is something ultra satisfying about watching you ride with someone else who has that same cheesy sense of humor.
It cool that JB did more talking than you Bryan, you can tell what a rounded human being he is from the ease with which he tells his stories. That goes for you to, your always make your rides even more interesting because of your narration of the trail, stories, historical info etc. My wife even likes watching your vids, compared to other YT’s because she says it’s interesting (she’s not a biker). Keep rocking Bryan. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I absolutely love riding 'off the grid' trails! Seeing you guys ride this just makes my toes itch for a ride! Thanx for riding these trails to the both of you. Really inspirational. You guys rock!
Hell yeah, you weren’t kiddin, that is some pretty consistent gnar lol Jeremiah is such a cool character, you can plainly see how much he loves nature, and I could listen to his stories all day
I really REALLY like how you’ve been mic’ing the other riders! Great job with your editing. I’m hitting one of your cross country stops next week in Burke, VT. Hitting up the Kingdom Trails and camping.
These GW videos make me miss that area. I can almost smell those trails! Living in Moab since 99, I can’t believe I miss those slimy off camber roots, the “gotcha rocks” that stick up vertically slightly shorter the grass. Great memories! Thanks Brian. And one more time: you have to ride trails like that at night for the full GW experience. Too bad the 24 hours of Canaan is gone, you would have loved it!
didn't expect the title would be in reference to the movie "the never ending story" 22:10 and yes, the trail lived up to the description. that was awesone!
You went from my back yard in NWA to my dad's back yard in western Virginia. If you hit up the Colorado front range next you could do my brothers back yard.
11:45 I like what he said about the great people he's met though cycling and totally agree. Lot's of A-holes out there (that seemingly hate their lives and themselves) but I've yet to meet a mountain biker or motorcyclist that I don't almost immediately hit it off with. It's uncanny.
That can be arranged. We will to do a trail Impossible Route and BKXC will do the very possible version, ya know with a beer and hot wings truck following him!
Permethrin is a good start, but in SE you would really benefit from picaridin. A much safer DEET alternative that's more effective at keeping away the nastier critters like chiggers etc.
Yo Brian, if you like that kind of tech rock riding, there is a TON more like it in West Virginia and Virginia. These trails don't get enough love from the outside mtb community, for sure.

He was riding really well!
Amen!
@@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse he has to with you up front! 🤣

BKXC: I think this is the longest continuous gnar I've ever ridden.
Jeremiah: I'll ride my XC
Ha ha, I would have gone Spectral 29 but had to send my demo back. ;)

One word: EPIC. Truly unbelievable and this dudes passion for riding is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Very nice Brian.
I love the way your friend noticed the sounds on different trail surfaces. I too love that hollow sound going over loose rocks.
grandmas plates
Those trails, my god! JB is such a nice person, thank you for cooperation with him :)
You're a brave man for riding rocks like that now with the lack of availability of parts!
Always a pleasure to see Jeremiah, especially on a proper mtb ride!
I have always loved your cheesy/dad like sense of humor, but there is something ultra satisfying about watching you ride with someone else who has that same cheesy sense of humor.
Wow, now that is some real mountain biking. Thanks Brian and Jeremiah

The dude fb live before and after every race! 😄
You could ride with JB every day for the whole summer and never ride the same trail twice. The dudes a local legend and glad you hit him up!
Man I love Jeremiah Bishop.
JB is a legend! I miss seeing him at the Massanutten Hooha every year!!
I absolutely love riding 'off the grid' trails! Seeing you guys ride this just makes my toes itch for a ride! Thanx for riding these trails to the both of you. Really inspirational. You guys rock!
Hell yeah, you weren’t kiddin, that is some pretty consistent gnar lol
Jeremiah is such a cool character, you can plainly see how much he loves nature, and I could listen to his stories all day
No joke, I could watch Jeremiah's pedal stroke all day long. Such smooth and clean form.
I can’t wait to get a mountain bike again. I’m 31 and haven’t had a bike since I was younger. I’m hoping to pick one up by next year!
Just wow. that is real mountain biking. Great vid.
I really REALLY like how you’ve been mic’ing the other riders! Great job with your editing. I’m hitting one of your cross country stops next week in Burke, VT. Hitting up the Kingdom Trails and camping.

JB ... East Coast LEGEND! Awesome video.
oh man so much fun to watch this episode, 2 man having the time of their life riding bikes on niche trailes, good stuff
That trail is sick!! That's my favorite type of terrain.
Finally in my neck of the woods. 😎 I live a couple miles from here.
BKXC has met his match in the rocks! Very cool to see you riding with JB.
I live in VA... I'm gonna have to go check this area out.
Awesome video. Jeremiah is a really hardcore rider!
didn't expect the title would be in reference to the movie "the never ending story" 22:10 and yes, the trail lived up to the description. that was awesone!
That dude's an absolute beast!
It's like a podcast in the mountains!!
You went from my back yard in NWA to my dad's back yard in western Virginia. If you hit up the Colorado front range next you could do my brothers back yard.
What an honor to ride with Jeremiah!
"I did that thing when you make the lever go out a little bit further" .. we get it lol
More cred, keeping up with Jeremiah Bishop
love me some back-country trails! :)
rock garden hell damn that looks good riding bravo good skill
Reminds me of White Oak Ridge in Chattanooga -- it's like an uninterrupted 3 mile long rock garden.
Wow that is probably the most rocky trail I've seen!
Finally the wait is over... ❤️❤️❤️
Man that looks like a fantastic trail.
Wow - just discovered this channel - this dude can ride! Awsome vid - thanks! 🤘🏼
Nice job keeping up with the XC dude Brian! That was a gnarly trail for sure.
This trail ride is crazy !!!
you are sooo goood in those gnarly trail! Wow this is crazy!
Glad you got out into some of the VA goods
Wooow,.. Great Riding, Crazy Trails, Beautiful Shot,... such a Good One Buddy,..🙂👍
at 20:20 best moment: “Nice!”. “Oh, that’s scary.”
Well done man! That was some rugged riding!
This was a really clean Mountain bike trail .
Rocks are insane, great video!
NW Virginia and WV are really rugged. Snowshoe is for the speed runs, but everything else is gnar. Slaty Fork is right across the border too.
JB is a legend. Olympian. NUE champ.
Cliff Trail is the raddest trail ive ever ridden in the GWNF but there’s so much out there - I’ll never be done exploring ! 🤘🤘🤘
Holy epic backcountry Gnar! 🤯
11:45 I like what he said about the great people he's met though cycling and totally agree. Lot's of A-holes out there (that seemingly hate their lives and themselves) but I've yet to meet a mountain biker or motorcyclist that I don't almost immediately hit it off with. It's uncanny.
Lots of great people out there!
Watched while eating my frosted flakes in Fernie BC getting ready to hit the park
Have a good one!!
Stokesville!!! VA/Shenandoah is so great!
Ok will watch this RUclips after tour de France amazing race
What an inspiration 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Those are some gnarly trails.
so nice trails!
Good work Gents , I’m going out on my bike now.
13:34 "intermission" :D
Jeremiah said something about "megavalanche".. This trail is much harder than that!
So many trails to explore all over the place...And this has some jank for sure, I would be doing some walking.
WOW Great Thanks
Looks like this'll be fun
That looked very techy. Awesome job. JB might talk you into doing the marji gesick. Hop on his training plan and you're G2G!!
If your spending time in Virginia you should come down to Carytown Bikes and ride the downtown Richmond Trails!!!!!
The other descent right next to Deathstar is legit as well bother knob...
They rode bother knob in this video - Deathstar is the other descent they didn’t do - I just did Deathstar for the first time - it’s awesome
Well done ! Brian cleaned on first try
@14:50 Looks like a fantastic trail! Proof afaic that mountain biking doesn't have to be just "bitchin' singletrack" to be epic fun 😃
Santa Barbara’s tunnel trails pretty gnarly too
Is Jeremiah really riding a Canyon Lux XC bike on these trails? Wow. That is skill right there
Awesome video 🤩🤟🔥
Thank God it was a "Possible Route" LOL 🤘😎
Wow nice trail❤️
That some serious rocks…🤘
When you started singing Lamal... lol
I like these kinda trail then actual trail
Look more kinda fun.
"Shut up, bike!" I think we've all been there.
I tell that to myself everysingle ride lol
Awesome 👌
Wow! What a ride. If you could tilt the camera up just a tick that would be 👍🏻
You know Jeremiah??
I’m expecting a VC crossover!
That can be arranged. We will to do a trail Impossible Route and BKXC will do the very possible version, ya know with a beer and hot
wings truck following him!
You guys, @@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse just commented on my post, no big deal. 😃😃😃
at 8:30 “it’s like i forgot where the trail goes”. be prepared for backcountry riding.
This dude was something else. Lol
Hey I got property in sugar grove just a few miles from the old military base
Indonesia right here !😉
Permethrin is a good start, but in SE you would really benefit from picaridin. A much safer DEET alternative that's more effective at keeping away the nastier critters like chiggers etc.
Hey BKXC, how was the Lyric for this gnarly trail? Why not change to a ZEB?
I wish I could do this as a job
Does the extended cut have the Deathstar trail in it?
Get it then Podna!!😅
Looks like northern new Jersey
How do you avoid ticks in the woods
Where's the drops in big gaps and can canines and knickknacks and 360s and backflips
Yo Brian, if you like that kind of tech rock riding, there is a TON more like it in West Virginia and Virginia. These trails don't get enough love from the outside mtb community, for sure.
Shh....
wow, that guy is like an older version of Brian.
Except that JB is a cyborg. He just hammers at any typical great biker's max output, but for 12 hours.
Wait, does he have a 100mm break disc at front? :O
Aren't there a lot of ticks in that undergrowth..?
