Did you know that Adam also has a RUclips channel? Check it out here: ruclips.net/channel/UCKZibpVn8bN-0yT8CtbFLXQ Next episode of Redemption CA coming at ya *tomorrow* on BKXC's channel: ruclips.net/channel/UC3DFdy_qc-cqgKCyQTHLGzA
I was *VERY* impressed with your riding, Brian! 🏆 Being able to actually _see_ you ride from another one's perspective shows how far you've come - you made "riding at your limit" look fairly smooth and flowy. 🤙🏻
This channel has honestly pushed me so much to get back out there on my bike and start progressing again. My bike sure ain't pretty but she gets the job done. Keep up the great work man!
Are you wearing the 510 free rider high top? If you are what are your thoughts on it because I personally love my pair and they are my every day all purpose shoes for everything.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a better tow-in than the ones Adam did at around the 8min mark. No pedal, no brakes, just let gravity pull you straight in. Nice job!
Good for you and your happiness on your improvement. When I first was able to jump and do big drops, and my riding all around skyrocketed, the joy and confidence was some of the best happiness I have had in my life. Congratulations
Holy s**t boys, your starting this trip on such a high.... Amazing trails and epic skills on display.... Seriously can't wait to see the rest of the episodes 😎🤘
If youre headed to FAR NorCal, be sure to head up to Blue Lake in Humboldt County. A new zone of downhill trails were just built on old logging land. The are steep, loamy, and properly gnar. I promise you will be be stoked.
This trail look gnarly. There were so many sections I had to re-watch because the features seemed to just pop up out of nowhere. Great riding, great video. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
You are an inspiration, in Latvia we don't have any mtb specific singletrack, so we started cutting some. Got to start with something, tired of riding hiking trails.
Hey Adam, I had open heart surgery in a 2002 a4X bypass, I am 63 now, I still ride up to about 20 miles, green and blue trails, I sure cant ride like you guys but hold my own for my age and not scared of a challenge--I have a 2018 Spectral 6.0 and a 2016 Focus Raven max SL XTR double hardtail with every upgrade... I just watch my diet, take my meds and ride when I can
Isn't it such a fulfilling thing! Being able to do something you wouldn't have even considered in times past! Awesome video Alex! We are looking forward to redemption ca!
Sometimes I wanna go ride but I'm just not in the mood or just not motivated. Any time I feel that way I just watch one of your videos and it sucks that negative feeling right out of me. Thank you for that.
Heck yeah bro, stoked for you! Overcoming your fears is a great success! There is a trail out here that has a black diamond drop that I’ve been bypassing for a year now. I hit it this weekend and it was no big deal, easy peasy!!! Just have to commit and overcome that fear, then SEND IT!!!!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻
HAHA im loving the Logo for Redemption CA especially the upside down map. Mad credit on that step down gap I fight with myself on all the step downs going down an incline while jumping like that freaks me out.
I’m subscribed to both of you and am really enjoying watching the series! 😊 Not a frequent mountain biker by any means but you guys always seem to have a great time. Makes me want to get back out there and try new stuff!
Wow that looks like such a good place to ride dude. I'm stoked just by watching you guys 😀👌🏻👍🏻😎🤙🏻. Riding with @bkxc and @singletracksampler is definitely on my list of adventures to do. Also have to include the gnarly @sethsbikehacks. Enjoying the Redemption CA 👍🏻
what is the sponge for at 1:40 ? to keep gunk out of the linkage? i may need to do something similar to my bronson. i have a tube set up to deflect stuff right now and it works ok, but not perfect.
Glad you survived the saddle drop! That looked like an awesome ride thanks for sharing Alex! You are encouraging me to push myself and try stuff I haven't done before. Thanks man LFRHGS
Alex, over the past year you have progressed so much. You seem more confident and get to travel the U.S whith seth and Brian and whoever else. Just want to say thank for your vibe it puts me in a good mood. Live free. Ride hard. Get stoked.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
U guys r a great duo! I love the “redemption series” keep it coming. I sit in a office working all day and I’m old af, never the less I do enjoy your videos a lot! Please have healthy diners! And also make a video having dinner at “twin peaks”... haha! Peace!
Black Bear Diner! The original is up here in Northern California, in Mount Shasta. Hopefully you guys make it north of the Bay for some riding. Redding is burnt, but rideable, some of Mount Shasta might be rideable, they had a ton of snow recently though.
Yeah, Redding's doesn't have the pretty forest rides anymore, and while you've been getting snow, we've been getting swamped by rain. That snow storm we had a few weeks ago really downed a lot of trees too. I'm hoping for some good riding by May. At least the mountain top views should be epic without the trees blocking.
Welcome to norcal. It's wet and muddy. :-) I wish you could have seen it before the fires, but I'll still be interested to see if you made it up to my neck of the woods, true norcal. Black Bear Diner started in Mt. Shasta, CA. The second one opened in my hometown of Redding, and I think the owners still live in Redding.
Nice riding! So cool to see this happening again! It's like RUclips biker nirvana. I hope Seth somehow meets up with you guys for a video or two as well. Curious...Alex, I noticed you had a slight bit of gimbal noise. I've heard that the new EVO SS gimbals are re-worked for the extra weight of the later GoPro cameras, so when you put the lighter 4 in them...they make noise now. I wonder if you could just glue or tape coins on the camera to a little more weight like the later 5, 6, and 7's....and get rid of it??? Can't wait for the next installment of redemption CA!
Let me show you guys some private trails in Sonoma Co! Super punchy trails winding through the redwoods with plenty of jibs to hit. About 45min west of Annadel. Just started MTBing just over a year ago and started watching you and Brian then. Thanks for the inspiration!
Perfect video as always! I am really glad that you ride a new canyon spectral CF 7.0 beacuse I bought a new one 2 months ago and Its hell of the bike! Did you already find a good setup for your front and rear suspesion? :) My bike setup is 2 tokens and 120 psi for RS Pike and over 250 psi for rear shock and even with this setting, I feel it still too plush. Thanks for answer! Btw. Ride hard and get stoked !!!!!

I love this place so much. Takes me to the limit every time.
It's seriously FORKED UP!!
I was *VERY* impressed with your riding, Brian! 🏆
Being able to actually _see_ you ride from another one's perspective shows how far you've come - you made "riding at your limit" look fairly smooth and flowy. 🤙🏻
@@geemail369 Crazy how different it can look in a POV vs. 3rd person right?
C'mon BK you gotta get in line and take some of those drops!
Where is this
Adam & his E-bike rock! 👍
This channel has honestly pushed me so much to get back out there on my bike and start progressing again. My bike sure ain't pretty but she gets the job done. Keep up the great work man!
PSA for all riders out there: Put your darn dropper post down before going off drops!!!! XD
Glad to see you wearing gloves n kneepads _before_ things turned ugly this time. 😉
i guess your nut sack got knocked by the saddle (or the tire)
Otherwise you'll be naming the dropper post "the nutcracker v2"
Are you wearing the 510 free rider high top? If you are what are your thoughts on it because I personally love my pair and they are my every day all purpose shoes for everything.
Who was the guy in the red shirt? I can't handle random people popping up with no explanation.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a better tow-in than the ones Adam did at around the 8min mark. No pedal, no brakes, just let gravity pull you straight in. Nice job!
It’s crazy how confident Brian has gotten over the years. This trail looks amazing, great job sending it!
Soo awesome to have you guys back together! Brian is so dialled and you are like a pogo stick now with those jump skills!
Good for you and your happiness on your improvement. When I first was able to jump and do big drops, and my riding all around skyrocketed, the joy and confidence was some of the best happiness I have had in my life. Congratulations
Alex your jumping skills are a hundred percent better plus drops, great video😀
👊
Holy s**t boys, your starting this trip on such a high....
Amazing trails and epic skills on display....
Seriously can't wait to see the rest of the episodes 😎🤘
I have spent all winter riding vicariously through Brian's and your videos. Cool watching you both grow as riders over the past 2 years!
Love that you got some grandma cooking. Thats always the best kind of food. Getting spoiled from the start of this trip!
Not even going to lie... it was AMAZING
I love watching you ride with Brian! Makes it better with the Spectral.
Good to see Adam back on a bike 🤟🏼

So much fun to watch! I am 53 year old mom trying to be a badass on a MTB, I still don't have the nerves to jump. Come ride Laramie Wyo!
That trail had So many great features! Best trail I've seen outside of the trails Van Can has been posting the past couple months! Great video.
Isn't it such a fulfilling thing! Being able to do something you wouldn't have even considered in times past! Awesome video Alex! We are looking forward to redemption ca!
Wow Brian ride like a beast these days! Will he attend one une the famous Sampler Jump & Confidence Building Session during the trip??
I am laughing with joy ...watching you guys. It's a powerful drug haha. And what a smooth rider Brain is.... wow.
Enjoyed this VERY much, love to see the progress thats going on here, gets me fired up to progress myself!!
Sometimes I wanna go ride but I'm just not in the mood or just not motivated. Any time I feel that way I just watch one of your videos and it sucks that negative feeling right out of me. Thank you for that.
That's honestly so awesome to hear man, and don't worry I get those days too just like everyone else!
I really enjoy the videos the two of you collaborate on! I got out for a ride today and scared myself on 2 drops I've never done before!
I absolutely love your honesty and the rawness of your videos. Makes it easily relatable 🤙🏽
Awesome to see Adam out there. Some amazing riding.
That Specialized Turbo Levo looks awesome! Your buddy is shredding on it.
You and Brian have progressed so much. Keep living and sharing your high excitement! #skrrt
Heck yeah bro, stoked for you! Overcoming your fears is a great success! There is a trail out here that has a black diamond drop that I’ve been bypassing for a year now. I hit it this weekend and it was no big deal, easy peasy!!! Just have to commit and overcome that fear, then SEND IT!!!!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻
HAHA im loving the Logo for Redemption CA especially the upside down map. Mad credit on that step down gap I fight with myself on all the step downs going down an incline while jumping like that freaks me out.
love it when you push yourself and the stoke afterwards!
Off to a killer start. Trail looks so awesome. You’ve inspired me to session jumps as often as possible. Looking forward to more! Yeah buddy!
"It's a good thing I'm wearing my dark pants today" 😂This was awesome, bro.
That was funny!
Jeremy Bechthold yeah it was. I’m gonna remember it and use it later myself. 😂
I’m subscribed to both of you and am really enjoying watching the series! 😊 Not a frequent mountain biker by any means but you guys always seem to have a great time. Makes me want to get back out there and try new stuff!
My favourite two MTB channels...this is AWESOME!🤘
Stoked to see you guys riding the trails in my backyard! Killing it!
Adam can shred. That trail looked like a blast.
Tow ins are so great to get ur game on the rise...awesome bru, nice drops
That was also a perfect couple of tow-ins from Adam. Straight run in, no pedal, no brakes.
Sending it! Some solid drops / step downs going on! Yew! Well done guys
Nice work you guys are getting to be rippers! Mt biking is so rad nothing makes me so happy
Nice riding and you crushed that drop. Really awesome to see you guys connect with Adam too.
Wow that looks like such a good place to ride dude. I'm stoked just by watching you guys 😀👌🏻👍🏻😎🤙🏻. Riding with @bkxc and @singletracksampler is definitely on my list of adventures to do. Also have to include the gnarly @sethsbikehacks. Enjoying the Redemption CA 👍🏻
what is the sponge for at 1:40 ? to keep gunk out of the linkage? i may need to do something similar to my bronson. i have a tube set up to deflect stuff right now and it works ok, but not perfect.
I think that was to protect his down tube from bottom outs
@@The_Sampler the turbo levo has a gap there that lets in dirt to the motor.. slight design flaw... Alex did / have you tried an ebike yet?
Dude, you were TOTALLY sending it....LOVE THE REDEMPTION series. I'm looking forward to EVERY episode.
amazing to see how much you and Brian have progressed in the last couple years Ride on! LFRHSS!
The trails looked rad! Awesome to see Adam still able to shred! 🤘
Love your energy and enthusiasm!! LFRH&GS!
Glad you survived the saddle drop! That looked like an awesome ride thanks for sharing Alex! You are encouraging me to push myself and try stuff I haven't done before. Thanks man LFRHGS
Legit! Great video....talk it an walk it. Thanks for the play by play. Motivating.
That was insane I love how it goes from dirt trail to rock trail very chunky and fast nice video enjoyed very much 👌👍👊
Looks like this going to be another epic series. You guys just vibe together well. Mah fav 'tubers rockinit! :-)
Alex, over the past year you have progressed so much. You seem more confident and get to travel the U.S whith seth and Brian and whoever else. Just want to say thank for your vibe it puts me in a good mood. Live free. Ride hard. Get stoked.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

The Sampler Man. Great to see Adam ripping the trails.

Great video! Your excitement is so contagious...makes me want to ride now..
So stoked you coexist with bikes. No judgment. Thanks dudes!
Those trails look so fun!
So good! This series is going to own!
Great vid, great riding - Dying to know what trail system you are riding. I missed that bit of info - or is this a super secret zone??? Stay stoked!
sick trails, great riding and all I could think about through the whole thing is fig newtons because I have none in the house
"Let's do it again!" Love those moments!
Welcome to norcal. It's wet and muddy. :-) I wish you could have seen it before the fires, but I'll still be interested to see if you made it up to my neck of the woods, true norcal.
Black Bear Diner started in Mt. Shasta, CA. The second one opened in my hometown of Redding, and I think the owners still live in Redding.
You guys have leveled up and are shredding. Stoke is high. 🤘
Dude every drop! That’s amazing your so much more confident in big drops and jumps dude! Feeling the stoke levels from my iPad great video!
Wow so great to see Adam out on the trails. E bikes really can be a god sent.
Awesome video!! Can someone tell me where these trails are? Thanks.
Your progression is inspiring. Keep it up, brother! Much love!
Nice riding! So cool to see this happening again! It's like RUclips biker nirvana. I hope Seth somehow meets up with you guys for a video or two as well.

Only one word to describe this ride....SENDER!!! Keep up the solid riding \m/
norcal sounds hella fun! great video alex.
Stoked for Redemption CA!
Make sure you hit the flow trail in Aptos just south of Santa Cruz!
Let me show you guys some private trails in Sonoma Co! Super punchy trails winding through the redwoods with plenty of jibs to hit. About 45min west of Annadel. Just started MTBing just over a year ago and started watching you and Brian then. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great series guys. Looking forward to the NorCal segments
Perfect video as always! I am really glad that you ride a new canyon spectral CF 7.0 beacuse I bought a new one 2 months ago and Its hell of the bike!

Love that type of terrain, Big rock slab and compacted dirt

Nice progression dude! Send it!!!
