So, so stoked to finally make it to Duluth, Minnesota. I've been hearing a lot about this place for a long time, and my buddy Nels got me out on some sweet singletrack. We did a ride in the morning on some excellent flowy stuff and the headed over to a more gnarly spot in the afternoon. Loved it!

As a person that lives in Minnesota and rides a lot in the duluth area, this video got me SO pumped!!🤙🤙

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Hell yeah!!

"Fast rolling with lots of grip." Welcome to Midwest trails! At least 80% of the time. The other 20% is divided between super dry and loose/sandy or too wet to ride.

@WorldwideCyclery 5 лет назад

Love what you said about mellow trails! Everyone needs more for sure. Making Deluth Hawaii look good! :)

@bkxc 5 лет назад

HAha yep!

Piedmont reminds me of stuff we have in Northern NJ. Wish you were able to see more than just Mountain Creek while you were here.

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Just mountain creek this time!

Thanks so much for posting Brian! We need more recognition!

@bkxc 5 лет назад

My pleasure!!

@v1d300 5 лет назад

I wouldn't mind riding 45miles of such a smooth, densely green trail. Looks really beautiful. A lake to cool off is just a bonus.

@mortadhaabdul565 5 лет назад

Man, I can't believe how good you are especially when you ride at the funniest trails. Even your dudes are as good as you. Always keep up the work!

@stevepodraza6363 5 лет назад

@theepicridecom 5 лет назад

Duluth is rad! Great trails, great food & amazingly cool people.

@KrisYahner 5 лет назад

NIce video! Duluth has got the goods for sure and there are so many fun lines in Piedmont. For anybody here who is discovering Duluth for the first time, Hawk's Ridge and Lester Park are a ton of fun too and Spirit Mountain has good lift accessible runs.

@isaackangas6921 5 лет назад

Lester Park has a really fun swimming hole at the bottom of it with a 15-20 foot cliff jump.

@geoffreyfowler9198 5 лет назад

Glad to see a happening MTB scene in MN. I may be moving to St. Paul from the Bay Area next year for grad school. I’ve visited there both summer and winter. The people were all good, but the weather kicked my Cali ass!

@n1ckf00c 5 лет назад

Do it! Tons of trails to choose from.

@YourStinkyPink 5 лет назад

@Ianryth 5 лет назад

Brian, what the hell! You ate lunch 2 blocks from my house! You gotta come back dude. Ride the rest of piedmont, and do a full traverse ride..make an "epic" video like your bcpov bikepacking stuff...north end of the city to the south and then end the day with some lift access at spirit..would be incredible. I'll give ya a place to sleep!

@bkxc 5 лет назад

You gotta invite me!

@ThisAintBentonville 5 лет назад

This is funny-I left Duluth after 30 years to ride real trails in Washington State. Glad you got to check it out though and there is a lot more trails than there used to be! The real beuty is up the shore.

@hardtobearit 5 лет назад

Second deluthian to leave and come to Washington. First being my mom

@DAMN55117 5 лет назад

Welcome to MN. It’s great for me to compare your riding on known trails to your vids of unknown trails. Helps me gauge those trails when I venture out to new places.

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Yeah, I love that aspect too!

@Anything_With_An_Engine 5 лет назад

Hey BKXC loving the videos. Your videos have helped me turn my life around by inspiring me to get back into riding. After years of riding bmx as a kid, I let my weight get out of control and have recently weighed the most I ever have in my life 292 pounds which is sad because I used to be in really good shape..... But with the inspiration of going out and doing what you do I have managed to get down to 280 pounds! I'm going strong and gonna continue going. Thanks for the hours of entertainment and inspiration!

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Welcome back!! Just do it all one day at a time and you'll be back to your old self!

@walthamstowman 5 лет назад

Hey Brian yet another cool video hero dirt and all......👍

@CJfromSOTA 5 лет назад

Hell ya about time you came to Minnesota! Come back in the winter for awesome fatbiking!

@justinw1807 5 лет назад

Welcome to MN! I’ve wanted to try the Duluth trails for a while now. This just gives me extra motivation to get up there. Enjoy the North Shore! It’s my favorite area in the state with the best scenery! Did you check out the Cuyuna MTB area too? That’s another spot I need to check out.

@n1ckf00c 5 лет назад

Cuyuna and Duluth are different styles, but both so much fun!

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Missed Cuyuna this time around!

@turdferguson5839 5 лет назад

Cuyuna is my backyard I love this place! Next stop spirit mountain.

There's a price to pay for humidity and hero dirt - MOSQUITOS!

@haavmonkey 5 лет назад

Duluth really doesn't have many mosquitoes. there is no stagnant water for them to breed in, it all flows down the hill to the lake.

@IamSeafarer 5 лет назад

Humidity here is it's own punishment. Again though Duluth escapes the worst parts of the warm weather in MN

@bkxc 5 лет назад

I didn't see a bug in Minnesota or Michigan!

@DerekDeVere 5 лет назад

They’re not as bad anymore during this time of the year

@haavmonkey 4 года назад

@Andrew Bush Lake Superior's average surface temperature is 38 degrees. Too cold for breeding. Trust me, I've living in Duluth for 6 years, and before that I lived in the buggy hell hole that is the range. The two places couldn't be more opposite!

@PeterCPRail8748 5 лет назад

I always heard great things about the deluth area for MTB. It's only going to get better as well. Hope you made to copper head in Michigan as well they got some crazy north shore type riding there.

@AMANkumar-eh1oe 5 лет назад

Awesome video nothing else to comment!!!!

@mtbshenanigans755 5 лет назад

Awesome you made it to Minnesota. Duluth definitely deserves some credit for the great trail system they built. Cuyuna Lakes is definitely a must as well and Minneapolis/Metro Area has over 100 miles of single track to rip as well!😎

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Definitely need to get to Cuyuna as well

@ShadLife 5 лет назад

Didn't know you were in my neck of the woods. I would have totally joined you guys! Duluth is Rad. So is Cuyuna if you can make it there. Hope you had fun!

@UncleDavid218 5 лет назад

Reece - I think we went to elementary school together? Funny finding you on some RU-vid comments. Are you still around? We should ride sometime.

@reecezimm5986 5 лет назад

@@UncleDavid218 David yeah I remember you! Ha crazy, I live in msp but still have family in Duluth so I'm there every couple weeks riding. We should next time I'm up, I'll message you on fb

@UncleDavid218 5 лет назад

Reece Zimm that would be rad! Let’s do it. I usually ride a few times a week.

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Always something to come back for!

@robertdubuc4082 5 лет назад

Just missed you,I was just up in the Gunflint trail outside of Grand Marquis, you should check out the Pincushion Mountain trails.Also endless ski and logging road access to some of the States most remote area.

@jacobbohl5315 5 лет назад

Nice to see you are in the area Brian! Hope you make it to Copper Harbor, Marquette, and the CAMBA network/Mt Ashwabay at some point too! The Lake Superior area has its surprises. (Edit: spoke too soon; saw your Instagram post detailing your trip out here)

@bkxc 5 лет назад

Hell yeah, had to hit those spots!!

@steffanphillippo7678 5 лет назад

Your pos Evo SS makes as much noise as mine! Oh, yeah, nice technical trail that second one. Driven through Duluth many times on the way back to WI to see family. Never biked there though.

@bkxc 5 лет назад

@williamvangorden44 5 лет назад

There is a some sound feedback fluttering. As always great rideing , can't wait to get my bike back been in the shop sense Mon,o getting a back up for just this kind of slacking that goes on with going to a bike shop,not like it used to be.

@snoogboonin 5 лет назад

@BrianVaughn 5 лет назад

Two way traffic is not popular in Minnesota. None of the twin cities trails are two way. Cuyuna just rerouted to be one way.

@pedalsandplants5725 5 лет назад

+Brian Vaughn - I don't understand why 2way traffic would be restricted unless it is a downhill trail or maybe some other danger but most trails can handle double direction traffic. Anyhow, I was hoping to see you in this video too, next time BKXC should invite you, when I think of MTB+Minnesota+Internet it always equals, Brian Vaughn!

@trailjunkie7302 5 лет назад

We haven’t had enough traffic on the trails for this to be an issue but this may be slowly changing as Duluth gets discovered and busier.

@UncleDavid218 5 лет назад

The trail system in Duluth is 2 way because it’s also for hikers and trail runners, not just bikes - it’s a community trail system which is focused on all aspects of outdoors. We do have some 1 way trails for some of the gnarlier stuff though!
