It's called "Flow" for not which the trail is, but what you yourself must possess to ride it.
Hats off to Liam riding that on a hardtail!
I've shredded many tires on mqts trails on a hardtail, wonder what pressure he's running lol.
Came to say the same thing, gotta love a nice AM hardtail!
I ripped a nukeproof scout hardtail in Marquette and copper harbor lol my legs were numb for days but it took the abuse
im about to order a 2019 nukeproof scout race, cant wait
@@freeridetheu.p.126 cush core changed my life on hardtails
Chunder Muffin looked awesome! Trails like this make my bucket list grow.
Haha hell yes, I'm doing my job!
Chunder, chunder, chunder, chunder
I was caught
In the middle of a rough single track
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The chunder of rocks
Tore me apart
You've been
Chunderstruck
hahahahaha yes!
Shut up
Some more great trails from the UP, great job Brian! Plenty of chunk in the Chunder! LOL
If you're going to Copper Harbor, you might as well hit Marquette.
You can spend a couple says in Copper Harbor, but you could spend nearly a week in Marquette riding different trails.
MQT all day !
Spot on, I've been to Copper 3 times now, and 2-3 days you can easily do everything there including the point trails etc. (That said, Rock Solid is building a bike park so many we will need more time there) but I've only been to Marquette once and barely put a dent in the South trails. My next trip will probably just be Marquette. It's also 2 hours closer for me. That makes it doable on a weekend trip instead of needing 2 days off work.
That's gotta be on my bucket list! By far my favorite trail I've seen you do so far! That looked Gnarlee!
Marquette nice! Come back for the Marji Gesick 100
MQT yess
Yeah! Love Marquette... canât wait to go back
So flowy and FUN @NTN South trails! Wheeee!
That is some really interesting flow on the beginning of that ride. Don't think I've seen anything quite like it. Like you're always on your toes cause there's just so much going on. Sweet stuff.
Love that Chunder Muffin trail, awesome!
Cool trails... No Dab and Flow reminds me of a local trail! Fun to see a little bit of everything you have over there in the states!
I just love these videos man!!!
I'm in MQT right now! First time riding here and it's chunderously glorious!
Dude!!!! You are JUMPING for real!!! NICE!!!!
Yeah, we got tricked by that "Flow" trail too. Its chunky! Brian, thank you so very much for experiencing the sacred groves of Michigan's U.P.
Very nice trails!! Great video B
I wish I could get that much shade on my home trails.. I pretty much ride in the sun all the time. U r living the life man
That was nothing but chunk , trees root chunk and your favorite rock chunk !
Great looking trail system! I wish some of the trails here in the CO Springs area were marked that well.
Amazing video Brian.
My man Avery! What a guy
Chunder Muffin. Great name for a trail! Great job Brian.
Well there is a trail called "your mom" up there, it's way better than chunder muffin too...yet still chundery.
Youre pushing 200k!! congrats Bryan!
That whole UP area looks like itâs full of good riding!
HOME TOWN VIDEO! WOOO!
Your jumps looks sooooo smooth and it looks like your getting more air time then usual. Might be me but it looks like you improved DRAMATIACLY!!
Oh and awesome content like usual!
Definitely feeling better and better, those were probably the best/biggest I've hit yet.
So I hope you enjoyed Marquette and the quote on quote flow trail is my favorite trail
I need another Michigan trip. Houghton and Marquette are on my list.
Neither will disappoint. The Michigan Tech trails in Houghton are flowy good fun. Churning Rapids, Hancock is right next door. Ishpheming and Swedetown, Calumet are also near Marquette. But, The Miners Revenge trail and Mine ride in Greenland is as techy as it gets.
I've ridden Sweedtown on my last MB trip to Copper Harbor.
Come on by
Hardtails are so much fun on stuff like that? Great looking trails!
Awesome ride
Spectacular riding. I believe he said these are the âO-Qua Tangin Wannâ area trails...Biavian Howard Stern fans will get it.
I'll see you on the trail!! Ohhhh :))))
You seem to be doing a lot better on the jumps. Nice job! I've been working on mine the last few months and trying to leave the take off with the bike unweighted has helped me a ton.
Tiny steps, but definitely feeling stronger! I can't think of a local spot near me that has jumps like this to practice on
Sweet, I've been to Marquette. I had no idea where to ride. We rode around the beach of lake Superior in town I think. Wish I had known
Chundah Muffin looks like a blast to ride
NTN South trails woot! I must move there, Marquette is such a liable awesome city.
Nice riding.
Nice nuggets, you hit up all the golden nuggets along the superior shore. 3 fantastic areas to ride. On my bucket list all with in 11 hours drive of me. Planning a father son trip, once the little guy gets a bit more comfortable in his MTB
Hahaha the golden nuggets!
Just about to tee off.....in the background "Hell Yeah!!!"
Sweet video. I have a couple of projects for work scheduled for the Marquette area this coming year. Two trips of a week or two each. Definitely taking the bike.
Nice!
I was really hoping to see Scary Trail! I need to get back to that area ASAP
Great vid love ur vids
Was the other rider riding a hard tail I see đ€ hmmmm he sure was killing it on the trails! Everyone cheers đ» for the Hard tail đđȘđïžââïžđŽââïžđđ đ LOL đ
Great rocky tech. Seriously appreciate the hardtail/jackhammer riders. We ride Ragleys and flats in the chunk of the Northwest Arkansas, Southern Missouri Ozarks. It'll teach one how to truly love and respect their rear tire. Oh...and forget the Shwalbes. You'll shred em like Kleenex.
Looks like the same Chunder I've been riding for the past week! Been doing it on a hard tail also, Liam, so I feel your pain! lol
Chunder muffin is a death trap in the wet lol.
Chunder Muffin is the Chunderiest
Chunk and thunder. Rolling chunk that rumbles.
that was the most gnar ive ever seen
Cool place.
You should stop at munising and ride the trails at hillside or valley spur
I'm glad you enjoyed the South Trails! If you ever make it back to Marquette, you need to ride the Harlow Lake trails. They are my favorite trails in the Marquette area. Tons of tech and they feel a little more "out there". Bareback has to be one of my favorite trails of all time. The decent down the rock spine is just too cool!
Bareback and McLovin! And then there's all the newer stuff off forestville.
Nice!! Always want more
...no 'outro'..see ya on the trails?...maybe too many Chunder Muffins,he couldn't say it?.lol....so BK won't be seeing us on the trails anymore??...is this the end???....mtb will never be the same!!.........
grate stuff Brian Liam was flying with the hard tail my Sister kid he ride hard tail with me, wee going up a Mountain tomorrow with him that will bee fun hope the weather hold up lol did you get a muffin lol ;0) thumbs up
If you happen to be passing by sometime, check out Brown County in Indiana. It is *not* what you expect Indiana trails to be like!
I've heard great things about it but my route didn't quite take me there this time!
carp liam is the man. one of the best dudes to ride with.
Nice video , do you use clips or flats pedals?
long live the HT!!! lol
Come to Cannock chase in England đŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż
It's amazing đČ đČ
I'll be there in a few weeks bro depending on the weather, I live in Crewe.
Good times. Chunky
Man that chunder muffin ant nufin when I get my 99.00 Walmart mountain bike on the trail... I challenge Liam to a bike off ... That's rite I said it.....but I really didn't mean it.. đ.... Enjoyed your video, keep up the fun work.
How did I miss the U.P. stuff? So surreal.
Whoa...Chunder Muffin
Howdy Brian Iâm fresh from London and actually in Moab until next Tuesday it would be mad to bump into you while Iâm here ! Iâm doing W.E Friday itâs open all the way!!
That's awesome, Mitch!! Give it the beans!
Dang missed you by a few days!! Would have been sweet to shred with one of my favorite youtubers. Come back again next time and come ride Harlow Lake which is just a few minutes outside of Marquette! Also, send Seth and Alex here for some proper jumping action!
I've heard good things!
Michigan is land of the hardtail. Just gotta send it
Brianâs haha translation- I just did something stupid. đ
A few years back I was in that area to visit friends & took my cross bike. I rode some of the trails up there until I had the shit scared out of me by a mama bear & her cubs. Didn't have the balls to continue riding a bike in the woods :D I stuck to a 4-wheeler for the rest of my visit.
Hahaha nice!
Right in my backyard
Chunder Muffin is a ball-buster!
I'm digging your jump progression.
Are you using Window cleaner for wipedown?
Brian's Generic Ass Cleanerâą
Just Dawn dishwashing liquid with some water!
You forgot your sign off! Lol. It's too bad you didn't have time to hit more. I know I'm headed back there next week. Still can't believe I just missed you last time.
Man it would have been neat to meet you on the trail! Gotta introduce yourself as RedWinds-44 though!
@@bkxc you know I always do! Lol
Man those trails were nice! One thing I can say is that your Rallon rides very quiet 98% of the time. I like that! I'm not a fan of noisy bikes and hubs (e.g. i9). my next hub will definitely be the Onyx or the new XTR group with their silent hub. Thanks for the Chunder! Reminds me of my New England riding days!
Agreed on the hubs. A big thumbs up for the Onyx. I love it!
I definitely love a quiet bike
BK thought you were going to "send" the last one...
Are you ever going to head over to Ohio.A friend of mine emailed you in last summer
Jumping skills aren't lookin to shabby
He was on a hardtail and he was giving you the business lol let go hardtail nation lol
Properly named... that loose steep chunk looked heinous!
Hey Brian,
I'm planning a trip to Spain in November, not a biking trip but i'd sure love to get a couple rides in throughout those 2 weeks!
Any suggestions for spots (ideally in the south) where we could rent a bike and go out on some short 1/2 day rides?
Any lift accessed bike parks except Sierra Nevada?
Looking for spots near Malaga or Grenada!!
Thanks for the help and keep shredding!
Never been to the south of Spain!
I'm no expert but from looks of it I think that you made real jump progress here.
Definitely!
You saw my comments on your Patreon... This place is a 'muffin-chundering' experience from what I see. Is called 'Necronomicon' btw... hehe
Hahaha
Looks like a fun trail to practice your skills on! But maybe I'm just a masochist looking for some techy gnarrr :D
Haha I love it!
Wow that was abrupt!! Where was the sign off?, no catch phrase? đ
Was thinkin the same thing lol
How long has it taken you to get used too a 29er?
Also did you bring your full face for this one man?!?! Super gnarly!
Didn't take me any time to get used to the 29er! Didn't wear the full face on this one.
The Benson grade will burn you up third or fourth time up, but who can resist another quick run?!
Hey Brian! Do you do color correction or is the video straight from the camera?
I try to make white look white and green look green if that's what you mean by color correction, otherwise no idea what I'm doing
Haha. Gotcha man. I just recently purchased a camera and will be starting s channel soon. Was just wondering how you get such great color. Must be all in your camera settings.
Big question here as a Chicagoan deciding which to ride if I only have 1 day....copper harbor, or *Marquette If Iâm looking for jumps and gnar?
Great video Brian!
Copper harbor is in Michigan. Marquette has free ride trails built around jumps/gaps/drops you name it. Copper harbor has a few jumpy trails as well. Hard to pick between the two.
If you're going up on the weekend its hard to beat copper harbors shuttle. Flying Squirrel and Daminals have super fun jumps. Otherwise if your not able to self shuttle there check out Marquette, great jumps to be had on a quick pedal up Benson grade. Check out Hardtail Pride, and Eh Line.
Marquette is closer to Chicago and has everything you're looking for. Copper harbor is legit too but you can't go wrong with Marquette and will save a few hours for just a one day trip.
If you're looking for jumps and gnar go to Spirit Mountain/Duluth, Minnesota. I've ridden Coppar Harbor, and Houghton in the U.P. and while there is some rough sections, it pales in comparison to Duluth. If you want a solid pucker factor ride Calculated Risk; it starts with a fast flow section (step ups, doubles, really well built berms) and goes into a sandstone slab that ends with a 4' drop, and into a couple (2-3) sustained rock gardens. Wrecking ball to blaster to smorgasborg is a good time with plenty of rock.
I vote Copper Harbor!
What kind of liquid you spraying?đ
What is the liquid used to clean the bicycle?
Brian's Generic Ass Cleanerâą
Whats in the spray bottle in the beginning?
Dawn dish soap
What are you cleaning your bike with windex
Douglas Reed : I asked this before...he uses dawn+water
Brian needs to come back and do the Marji Gesick
Haha, so many people want me to do that race!
@@bkxc I just finished the Marji half (~62 miles). You should do it.
Have someone film you while you do jumps really helps
The best trails in Michigan are out near Sugandeese
Sugandeese balls
Lmao
Those trails look way better than copper mountain
I thought Brian said he was fully stoked, head to toe!
That's pretty chunky
@singletracksampler better not ride past the golf course
Hahaha yep
