Same here! Well, not everyday yet but I'm working my way up to it

I had to pause the video before the riding even began to thank you for being such a good human. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

I’m loving the bit of history before the riding starts. Quality work Brian 🤙🏻

"...if you aren't moved by that...you aren't human". True words! That MLK speech pulls on the heartstrings. We've come a long way, but we can all still work for a better world.

HELLUVA PAIR O BUNS ON IM!!! Thanks for throwing in the culture stuff in with the riding! Really adds to the videos!

72yr old Grandma from New Zealand,love your videos,I have a few goes at our Mountain Bike Park in Rotorua but not up to jumping!

I saw your van leaving as me and my dad were approaching the parking lot. It was like 3 weeks ago.

Love the opening commentary man. Way to leverage your platform to remind us of the most powerful force in the universe: love. Much respect. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Really glad you enjoyed Boulder Ridge. It’s one of my favorites at the park

I love looking at those trails And being like “I’ve ridden that and that and that”

Thanks for throwing some local history into the mix, very cool. Those were some legendary line choices haha!

Am really enjoying the historical aspect you're putting in you videos. Great content.

Grew up at Oak Mtn. and I still ride a couple times a week. They have a few new trails since your visit there. Also, they have acquired more property and planning more trails.

These are my home trails glad to see you riding them you rode some good ones

F#%k those guys with the dumb comments! Your living your best life on your time and haters gone hate! Im just happy your still riding and not letting sponsor's take over your channel! Keep up the good work Brian!!!!!

Love the history lessons! That kind of stuff makes me want to travel and learn about all these places! Great by product of biking the best trails! 👍👍

Thank you for the quick history lesson and for taking us along on all your awesome rides!

Great video, Brian. Thanks for sharing this latest adventure. Congratulations on making the decision to bail on that descent (@ 19:40). As we all progress in this wonderful sport, it is sometimes hard to say "enough". Smart to draw the line like that, particularly when riding alone.

You’re on the right side of history, Brian. 🇺🇸

Glad you finally made it to Bama and enjoyed it! I need to get up to Oak Mountain myself.

You are very inspiring BKXC! Keep up w/.....well, keep on being you. Love the videos!

Oak Mountain is Awesome!

It's shocking how much of the lower-elevation Appalachians look the same. This is basically Pennsylvania riding: super rocky, not much elevation but frequent elevation changes. Feels like home!

I ride in the Chicago area all year long. When it's below freezing especially like 10 degrees, I'll have on two pairs of socks, plastic bags over them in mtb shoes inside cold weather booties with bike tights on, a T-shirt, long sleeve shirt, heavy shirt, and wind breaker with a balaclava on my head and either sunglasses or ski goggles. Crazy. Takes forever to get dressed and then strip all the wet clothing off when you get home. That's why we live with such high intensity during the summer! Can't wait!

Good work on the introduction Brian, we must never stop reminding ourselves of our history.

Brian, your movies are great, because we watch something that the regular mtb-er can master. You make everything look possible. Keep it real bro! You are a inspiration.

I knew you'd go to Oak Mountain! Such a great spot. It's some of the best trails within 4ish hours here in MS.

Nathan Boyle yea ms doesnt really have any good riding besides zion. I went to Montgomery pretty much everyweekend when i was there

It’s tough to ride everything you did in two days! Great video. Glad you enjoyed Alabama.

Nice vid and thanks for the historical reminders. 👍👍🙏

Really digging your intro to this video. Reminding is important. A lot of signs around the world that we are currently moving backwards in this respect. Nice riding as usual!

Great Intro

Brian awesome and so meaningful monolog. And will get me a refresh of MLK speech as soon as I finish watching this great BKXC video. Kinda feel proud today beings I was born in 1963 🤗

Bk your services to mountain biking underlined by your humanity is truly inspiring, I hope, one day to see you on the trail

Thanks for another great video, Brian. Love the history lessons. Just block those haters who call you stupid. You are such an amazing human being. I believe, you not only encourage people to bike more, you also make better people with sharing your world views with us. Thank you so much!

I lived in Birmingham for a year. While I never road mountain bikes at Oak Mountain, I did go on hikes there quite often. It's a really nice park and anyone in the Birmingham area should definitely check it out.

Boulder to thunder to lightning, my go to, glad you went back for them! 🤙

Thank you for sharing a bit of history, it is especially welcome during these turbulent times, The biking is fun too, of course!

These are my home trails you should have told me you were there I think I told you about them you rode some of my favorite trails

Thank you in particular for the Civil Rights Institute shout out and in general for sharing your mtb stoke via these excellent videos! Bravo!

I haven't even watched the riding yet and I want to tell you that... this...is....AWESOME!! Thanks for this series!

Don't change a thing. Keep rollin'!

Extended cut of you scoping that massive slab was sick! I loved hearing your process of accessing that. I’m loving the patrion perks 👌🏼the ego piece was a huge learning piece for me.

Great episode, brother! Keep up the great work! Such a cool project you're working on, all 50. You can do it!

Nice BK. That police dog sculpture with the path through it is brilliant ...have to visit if/when I get back to the States.

Dude, awesome intro. Kudos!

Absolutely loved the intro, and I love the videos. Mountain biking has because a new hobby of mine since watching your vids!

Hellz yeah! My home town trails. I love Oak Mountain!

You are doing an amazing job! Truly an inspiration and by far my favorite mtb youtuber. I will soon join patreon too! Take care and happy shreds!

My heart was in my throat watching you roll down those rocks! 🙈

Love these trails! I’ll be there next week🤘🏻

Wow, never thought that the 50 state Shred is 3 years old. Happy 3rd bday to Covid too🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video! Really like your intro on the civil rights movement and its relevance today. Keep doing it your way, it it what makes your channel special. :)

Another quality video Brian! Thanks!!

Love the rocky sections! Can't wait to see where you go in PA! 412

What a wonderful opening to your video. You can hear the passion in your voice. Keep the fires burning.

You're a good dude!

The amount of times I’ve rode at oak mtn, I immediately recognized where he was the second the trail started.

Love your channel Brian, keep up being you as that's why we watch you, you and gmbn are my favorite channels and always get excited to see you have a new video out, been a great fan for years now

loved the intro!!

Great video Brian! As a history teacher, I love the included history here. Also screw all the nay-sayers. Just keep doing what you are doing. Don't let a few rotten apples ruin the sweet fruit for everyone else.

In a nutshell , yep , give no energy back to the detractors , they do not HAVE to watch .

Awesome Rock gardens. Ride safe Brian!

Awesome video and trail systems!!!

That's some rough terrain you went through. That just shows the importance of having a good-quality mountain bike.

Glad you're taking the time to do things besides riding. So much to see in this country. My favorite random museums have been the WW II Museum in New Orleans and Crystal Bridges Art Museum in Bentonville.

I had a bike race there a few years ago. One of the best trails I’ve done. A few of those trees have caught my hands too😂

Amazing social commentary!!!!!! Great human, you.

Reallllly cool to see you riding my home trails and talking bout my city.

Oak Mountain is a awesome park

Great videos - Thanks for sharing historical background about places you visit. I am going to have to go check those cast iron buns some day! :)

Oak Mt is the best in Al really recommend it👍

Really enjoyed this one, seeing your ride on trails I know. Lighting is my favorite trail out there.

Awesome as always!

thats awesome. I studied mortuary science in Birmingham and would ride oak man every week! I first rode it on my hardtail because it was the only thing that would fit in the cab of my tacoma but finally ventures out on my full squish later. lets just say that big rock roll was a little more sketchy on a 120mm hardtail.

Thanks for checking out Oak Mountain! Its the closest "big" park near me, I definitely wanna go try it

Great job showing off the alternate lines on boulder ridge. Locals can tell when someone gets the “good” beta 😉. Great stuff man

We missed you in GA! Have a safe and great trip!

Really fun looking trails. Take the time to see the country, your doing something not many people will ever be able to do.

How did I miss you at my home trails....and that red road climb is always brutal

I've got to say that this "series" of the 50 states is brilliant. Especially the tidbits of each state's history that you're putting in there. This is really impressive!

I've been watching Brain since Redemption in Fruita Co and Aex. And the one thing that stood out is Brian's ability to comment and give local history on the FLY while riding. I have yet to see somebody do what he does while riding. He does the research and is always accurate. It IS a unique ability in communication. I look forward to his travels....

Very good work my friend .

...keepin it real...and shredding. Nice work.

Like the videos of the states because its somthing I can actually achieve thank you

You are absolutely correct about the northeast. Tons of granite, and tons of tech. I really hope you get to Dog Town in MA, XC style trails with more jank than you can imagine. I think you’ll love absolutely it, but you won’t find much of it on Trailforks.

Great history backgrounds. Keep it up!

Fantastic riding Brian complete legend...!

Great videos man love the history aswell keep at it 👊

Finally a quality video of the trails I love

Always fun watching people do videos on places you've been to. As far as Jekyll and Hyde goes, I can't say I love the rocky part (Hyde), but I find the smooth, flowy part (Jekyll) to be a lot of fun. People that don't enjoy it must not be going fast enough.

Thanks for doing such an informative video. I live in Atlanta and have never been to Oak Mtn. Now I’ll put it high on the list of places to go.

Sorry to hear about the bad/stupid comments and too bad they led to your decision to no longer respond to comments. I'm not a frequent commenter but enjoyed reading your responses. They made you feel real and different from most of the other fake social media influeanzas .... um influencers. Nevertheless, I keep on whatching and enjoying your videos. Keep it up, Brian!

Another gem. Great historical background of the area, and the riding and video editing was spot on as always. This tour was a great idea, and it's playing out even better than I expected. BUT....NO WAHOO UPDATE!!!! What the heck???

Can't wait to see your ride(s) in Pennsylvania. We've certainly got some rocks here. Rothrock State Forest is an IMBA Epic. Keep up the awesome work!

Love the intro Brian. Props to you brother ❤️

The history that comes along with the rides are a plus Brian, you will have to share some history on the "Trail Of Tears" being you are in the region . Thanks for your efforts. Hey!Took the bike out for first time this yeah this past Sat. Felt real good to get on it.

Thank you for this episode. Mountain biking is the best, but it’s nice to take a step back and remember that it’s not the most important. Peace, dude.

The irony of commenting when Brian isn't going to respond, haha! Your honesty and commentary are one of the things that set you apart. Keep on fighting the good fight, my friend!

I bought a Whoop strap today... thanks for being the inspiration behind that. I've developed really bad sleeping habits over the years, and thought this may help me sort it out and get it better, and tracking all that other good stuff. Thanks for the discount too! keep up the great work.

That second Boulder was sketchy😄 well done getting over that 👍 all my muscles clenched up just watching
