This is my home trail, very cool to see you on it! You did miss the jump line where you jump over an abandoned car.

I’ll preface this by saying what I’m about to share may be viewed as cheesy, but it’s true none the less. Thanks for the content you create; it’s brought much joy into my life as of late. I’ve recently been in some dark places (emotionally and mentally), but mountain biking has been such a wonderful activity I’ve recently started. Your videos have fueled the flames of that joy, and inspire me to get out on the trail and do some riding! Keep it coming, and thanks again!

Thanks for sharing. You rode all the OG stuff. There's more than double what you rode heading north. A couple of notes, if anyone is interested: - The notch you rode up on Wagon is called Butterfly Run. We spent at least 5 man-hours debating on whether we could save a specific tree. At the time, a gal named Butterfly made national news protesting against logging on the West Coast. So that section of trail was named in her honor. - Thanks for picking up the glass. That part of the trail crosses an old homesteaders dump. The glass and metal leaches out of the trail on a regular basis at that spot. - As a selfish side note, it was really cool seeing you feature most of BRP that I helped design and build (the old sections). You're a really strong rider and your lines were generally right on. Very impressive for someone riding on a first pass.

So exciting to see a great vid like this! I was involved as the tail steward from the beginning in the mid 90s until 2009. And it's so great to see someone really enjoying the trail (although, super props to the trail steward who really kicked it up several notches since I passed on the reins).

I love that it's not a fast downhill like all other mtb videos on KZfaq 🤙🏼🤙🏼

It’s super rad seeing one of my favorite youtubers riding my local trail network. I wish you had hit the newer northern BRP stuff though and avoided wagon wheel but still awesome to see. Keep up the amazing content!

These trails look awesome! Feel completely the same about residential streets... They were my safe haven when camping solo in my car some nights though.

The SW Mo Ozarks are adding a lot of trails including 2 Rivers ( not new ), Fellows Lake (35 miles of flow ), Howler Mountain ( opening in Spring of 22 , 28$ shuttle service, camping, bike shop, bar/restaurant). KC trails look gnarly!

That crease on Wagon is one of the toughest in the city. I've only cleared that once. If you ever come back and want a proper KC tour hit me up.

If you stop in the St. Louis area I'd ride Bluffviews new flow trail down, up Zombie West, down Zombie East, and back up Bluffview. We ride it weekly. Even in the dark and when it is covered in snow. A less know, but fun trail with a mix of terrain and features is Forest City in St. James. It is about an hour West of St. Louis.

Nice. This looks more like my kinda trail. An actual cross country style. I get bored with all the videos of lift or shuttle access down hill.

This is awesome! Working on moving out to OP, KS soon and these will be my local trails. Can't wait to throw down on these trails!!

Hey Brian! I've been waiting for this video! Glad you got to check out our home trails. Techy and sketchy!

Some have commented already on this so I'm echoing going to Shepherd MTN Bike Park (home of the 2021 AND 2022 Big Mountain Enduro) as well as Zombie East, Zombie West, and the all new BluffView flow trail just outside of St. Louis. You don't want to miss either trail.

Project Hail Mary has been my favorite book of 2021. Read it and then went back to listen to the audiobook and the audiobook added so much more life into the book with how amazing the narrator is. I've been recommending it to all of my friends!

If your still in missouri there is a free bike park in ironton missouri called Shepard mountain. It’s definitely worth a stop

Hell yeah, Brian! My old stompin' grounds! BuRP! Those sweatbands from Halo are a lifesaver for KC humidity and heat. 🤘🤘

Amazing. I was just here a week ago. They could use some better marking on the trails for sure.

Man, you missed the north part of the trail with customline. A few fun drops, one over an abandoned car! Thanks for clearing glass off even though it feels futile at times.

The adventure continues

awesome trail by the river bank! and those rocky technical sections, oh love those!

When you make your way back across country if you head thru Iowa make sure you stop and ride the Banner State park trails between Indianola and Des Moines.

Love the vids Brian, you've inspired my MTB passion!

I used to live in Iowa (before cycling) .I’d love to head back one day to check out the trails. Oh and it sucks getting your car broken into. I’ve had my Cat 5 bag stolen with $1300 worth of gear in it.

Nice video! Thanks to the EarthRiders gang for sharing it on FB. It reminds me of how much I miss K.C. trails and the cycling community there.

Thank you for showing and let us know all those places. Best regards from Brazil.

We heard the same when we were riding in Missouri, but lucky we had no issues.

Props. KC is a hidden gem for tech. Glad you got to experience some of it!

Mad props to KC trail builders. This is true singletrack xc - it isn’t all over groomed and you have to have some skill to ride this, and there’s some nice flowy groomed stuff too. I’ll put this one on my list to ride next time I’m in KC. Nice vid, Brian.

Thank you for that! I was one of those people that were disappointed if I may be honest, but I still enjoy the content you put out! great motivation

If you get a chance go check out 2 rivers mountain bike park...about 2.5-3 hours south of KC.

Smart parking away from the trailhead, grew up around Kansas City. Hope you got some grub at kc joes or gates!

Just went on that trail yesterday dope trails did not know they where here

I absolutely love those rocky tech trails😍🤙🔥

If you come through St. Louis there’s some awesome trails in the area. Bluff view trail especially!

Eating spiders and cutting tires are part of the KC MTB experience!

really putting the meaning into MTBing. good stuff BK.

Yep, you certainly are in Kansas. Rocks and roots everywhere for 21 minutes. 3 minutes of flow trails. It takes a lot of strength end perseverance to ride in Kansas. That's pretty much why I've given up riding in trails in KC. Lawrence had the river trails which was fun but I'm too far now for the drive. Thanks for the video Brian!

that trail system is sweet, now there are better options in missouri with shepard and howler mountain bike parks opening, the chub trail and bluffview trail system closer to st. louis and are also nice

This video is so cool mate ! well done !

Ahhhh, the good old Arrowhead Spider (Triangle Orbweaver). It seems like 90% of the webs crossing the trails are this species. One reason I'll wait till late morning to ride our trails.....so the early riders break all the webs. BRP isn't my favorite, but when I go there, I'll ride the north loop. Good video BTW.

Thanks! I tried the big drink before riding but it just bloats me. Now I ride almost fasting and do MUCH better. But yeah, that 2.5L of water in the hip pack drags my shorts down at times :-)

Cool! Thanks for showing us this. Now Im going to make the 45 min drive to ride there!

My first house in KC was right next to those trails. Was on them almost daily, still remember most those spots almost 15 years later. Hehe, I hated the spider webs especially when I was the first in the mornings.

KC has a lot to offer every rider!

Project hail Mary is an amazing book!!

Awesome looking trail 🤩🔥

Very enjoyable experience and video 😊

Cool to see you at a local trail. Just rode Swope and the north side of BRP last weekend.

Project Hail Mary is soo good, I just read it again.

Wife and I just rode that trail Sunday, that technical part of Bo Ho Ca is gnarly, and loved River Trail to Rock Bottom and Little Moab. We’re North KC and it was our first ride here. Tennis Courts parking was safe also, thanks for showing a KC trail enjoyed! Find me on FB we will put you up on a stop thru next time!

Sick Riding Brian 😎😎🤘🤘🤯🤯🚵🚵

Wow, I think that’s mostly new since I got off the road. Will have to check it out one of these days. 😎

Project Hail Mary was such a good book!

It’s nice to see a Missouri trail

Great ride BK

Keepin' it real! "no tweekers out here".. Laughed so hard! The tweeky's are all here where I live in tweekerville Cali! Gotta ride armed and I don't mean the arms holding onto the handlebars.

Nice upload bud I like your hand switch set up

awesome my frienddd

DUDE!!! While you're here go to Shawnee Mission Park!!! And you need to hit Stonewall!

That trail had a lot of everything!

Rode that same section of trails about a week ago, highly recommend! I agree that the parking lot was sketchy (which was not helped by the missing person posters on the trail) but had a blast. I will deff be back.

Cool, I have been on that trail many times and could never get through those tech areas that well.

I made a coast to coast drive from Cali in the middle of July .lots of roots on the east coast and totally drenched after a ride .on the way back I hit a trail in Kentucky with my first elevation climbed .Stoped in Colorado at the 401 trail in Crested Butte where the 11,000 elevation bonked me but I ran into some ebikers from Kansas City who said they had great trails .I passed through with no thought that there was much mountain biking but it appears they do have trails that are challenging . Stoped in Moab for my last ride at Navajo rocks ( fun and challenging )

great video sir !

Sweet! BK in KC!

I love ur videos dude nice job!!!

Looked cool.

Wew, Welcome to the Show Me State brother!

Nice Kansas great vídeo brother

That thumbnail is great, looks rowdy fun

You missed the STL MO trails, like Zombie, Greensfelder trails, Lost Valley????

Come to Richmond VA and Williamsburg VA. Ride Forest Hill Park/ Buttermilk trail in Richmond and Freedom park in Williamsburg!,

Looks awesome, come check out Chubb trail or zombie and bluff view in the STL you won't be disappointed!!!

Vary nice! I didn’t know they had the rock. Close to Turkey Mtn Wilderness in Tulsa.

Come up to St Joseph next time for an even more fun experience!

spoke too soon with that shady dude in the trailhead parking lot. haha. Great vid.

I sliced my sidewalk there a few weeks ago when I was visiting. Lots of rock gnar

I love watching your videos. You gave me the love of mtb back. If ur ever in SJ hit me up. We have some great local trails.

Great ride! Come visit Wissahickon Valley if you're ever in the Philly area

I don't know how you guys but i kinda dance while listening the end theme of the video :)

Sweet vid...

KC Shout out ✌🏼BRP is a great ride. SMP and WyCo are great too!

Hi Brian! 6:30 This trail is similar to Pilis trails near by Budapest! "Home trails"

If I'm riding BuRP I try to park somewhere where there are other cars parked and some traffic going through. No problems so far by Alex George wetlands or on the south end of the greenway by the tennis courts. A few years ago made the mistake of parking in the secluded lot off Red Bridge Road and after my ride found out that someone had decided my car didn't need it's catalytic converter any more...

Good stuff

I do the exact same with my water I hate carrying a bunch of it so I drank a good bit before I leave out and it usually has some type of supple bit like lit or scratch in it. And bring some water or Some type of light Gatorade which Gatorade now does make a Pedialyte version

That’s my home trail too that place is dope.

i hope you can go ride shepherd mountain in Ironton MO! such a fun park

Blue River can be a butt kicker. Lots of stuff north of where you were at. Definitely technical all the way around.

I listened to Project Hail Mary. Great book. Liked Rocky the best. Apparently being made into a movie.

Bkxc you should really come check out the trail systems in southeast Wisconsin. Washington county fon du lac countie sheboygan county waukesha county . Lots of fun midwest trails in the kettle moraine forest ice age terrain its beautiful i must say

DUDE YOUR IN TOWN!!!!! LOVE TO CONNECT!!!!!! If you have time today i'd buy a coffee or drink and bs about mtb's and other areas in KC you should try!!! would even ride with you!!!!

Just came from elf day at the gym and even though these videos always give me motivation to work at being able to do that… … MY legs are burning JUST WATCHING this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Braver than me. I would walk the trail along that water. Those rocks are sketchy. At my local trail Halpatiokee, Stuart Fl. Someone fell into the water earlier this year and a huge gator attacked him. He was rescued by a hiker. The river trail is closed indefinitely.

You should come out to St. Louis sometime and check out bluff view and zombie!

If you're ever back in Missouri you should check out Shepherd and/or Bluff View Bike Park/Zombie in STL. Shepherd I've heard is packed with rough technical features and of course, the iconic corkscrew from Backyard Trail Builds. Zombie is my NICA team's local spot, its got miles of technical goodness with berms and jumps throughout. The other interesting part of Zombie is its connection to the future Bluff View Bike Park which is gonna get some new flow and technical directional trails. It's already gotten the first jump trail which is pretty nice. Love the videos

Journey 👍

Nice ride. Chunky! Going to try Ironton, MO’s Shepherd Mountain sometime?

Come down south to Springfield we have trails here that are pretty good
