From time to time I hop on Trailforks’ fullscreen map feature and just explore the world looking for cool trails. During one of those explorations I found Oak Mountain in Birmingham, Alabama.
Any time I see a long double black diamond trail in a park with several other trails I get excited. I always figure there’s gold in them thar hills.
Lucky for me I had quite a few people reach out to guide me in Birmingham, so I got to see most of Oak Mountain AND the Civil Rights Institute and some other pieces of the city.

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.

"...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.

Same, what's your favorite trail at Oak Mountain?

@jacobhuwaldt6410 4 года назад

Probably thunder. I’m a big sucker for the flow trails but I love some good tech

@Shawn-wt4kh 4 года назад

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!

@BikeLifewithRob 4 года назад

Pretty much the same!

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

@raindropcleaners 8 месяцев назад

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.

@danielhartwig3150 4 года назад

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!

@iruledaworld333 4 года назад

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

@rossking3771 4 года назад

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.

@KestrelYI 4 года назад

Good stuff BKXC. To hell with the negativity - you be you, and keep up the good riding. Appreciate all of these videos.

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

@lwiful 4 года назад

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!

@NathanBoyleDrums 4 года назад

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.

@dandemore8057 4 года назад

@capamerica8453 4 года назад

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!

@muddypawsadventurer7775 4 года назад

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....

@leighpringle286 4 года назад

Awesome as always!

@dasanoneia4730 4 года назад

@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_ 4 года назад

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.

@bretobg 4 года назад

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.

@austball13 4 года назад

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.

@DanielTorres-et8ky 4 года назад

@paultomlinson528 4 года назад

Fantastic riding Brian complete legend...!

@ninemilliondollars 4 года назад

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!

@Alex.Mihailovic 4 года назад

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

@rofljao 4 года назад

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

@TheMicpat 4 года назад

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.

@jasonwylie3676 4 года назад

Oak Mountain is a awesome park

@willbros1499 4 года назад

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???

@Spack005 4 года назад

This is awesome Brian. I am scheduled for a 5 week live-in class in Hoover this summer and was planning on flying out with my bike so I could ride Oak Mt on the weekends. Perfect to check things out before I go. Love the outro music as well, it goes so well with the fast-forward rode footie.

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.

@BlackWaterCyclist 4 года назад

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.

@randomtrails5003 3 года назад

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

@Adams_Excursions 4 года назад

I recently got spine surgery and have healed enough so that I am able to go to the gym and ride the stationary bike, watching your videos really helps me to get through the dullness of using cardio equipment at the gym! I should be ready to ride when the season starts here (Maine) in about May. I really enjoy your videos and general outlook on things! Keep up the good work. “Be who you are and say what you want, for those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” -Dr. Seuss

@MBOA 4 года назад

That started off so mellow, but gradually turned into a pretty nice ride!

@jerryray3892 2 года назад

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😂

@letsgoridebikes 4 года назад

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!

@cellphonenut 4 года назад

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 🤗
