- This is the start of my Pacific Northwest trip with Brian from BKXC. We start in Seattle and work our way up to the promise land.
On day one, Diamondback takes us out on their home stomping grounds for some trail riding.
Thanks to the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for building and maintaining these amazing trails. Check them out here: www.evergreenmtb.org

The Pacific Northwest is known as one of the greatest mountain biking destinations in the world, and for good reason. Every day, I read comments from people literally begging me to go there. Let’s do that. Over the next few videos I’ll be riding Seattle, Bellingham, and of course British Columbia. I’m going to the promise land, and taking you guys with me. But first, I need to find someone to watch my house while I’m gone.
We met Bryce Wenker, brand manager for Diamondback at Duthie Hill mountain bike park. Bryce and TJ, also from Diamondback, would show us around the Seattle metro area. Duthie was just a warm up.
We didn’t have time to ride all of Duthie, but I saw enough. On any trip to Washington, this is a must visit spot for all skill levels.
We headed out to some local trails to kill some time before lunch.
As more Diamondback riders showed up, we knew we were in for a party. They were excited to show us what Seattle had to offer, and on one of the longest days of the year, we had plenty of time to do it.
Bryce ordered food ahead of time so we could fuel up for the next spot-an unfinished trail. Have you ever used paper, or something made of wood? Ever wonder where it comes from?
The Evergreen Mountain Bike alliance doesn’t just move ridiculous amounts of dirt, they also work with the government and the public to put land to good use. They’re a model for other organizations around the country, and without their help we wouldn’t have had time to ride so many places in one day. If you want to see all this stuff they’re working on, I dropped a link below.
So there you have it, day fucking one. We have Bryce from Diamondback to thank for organizing this huge day of riding, so show and the other riders some love on Instagram.
Brian and I set out for the next spot in Washington, Bellingham. Our day in Bellingham was very special, so I’m going to edit it at home after the trip. Next time, you can join us as we cross the Canadian border and visit the promise land.
Thanks for riding with me today, and I’ll see you next time.

Hey guys! If you have any questions about those trails they can be found at www.evergreenmtb.org/ The amount of work this organization has done up in that region is just mind blowing. The jumps are built so well I didn't even fall ONCE in my entire stay in Washington. Bad if you like funny falls, but good if you love to ride!
GO TO VANCOUVER ISLAND!!! WE HAVE THE BEST RIDING. IF U DO GO TO MT TZOUHALEM AND CONTACT ME IF U DO
13:25 YEAH! IFHT!!!!!
Hit up Duthie Hill. Lots of great flow, and xc trails. Located off I90. Edit: Commented this before watching. Glad to see you went there. You should have came a week later, Stevens Pass and Mt Bachelor open 30th weekend. It'd be awesome to see some DH content. If you're heading up to BC, Whistler is so worth it if you got the time.
Seth's Bike Hacks you have to co e up to Kamloops to bike it's fun up here. I can show you a couple of MTB spots. please respond.
what bike are you riding
He had to put his camera in the room, go out, walk back in “ pretty nice”
He also had to either randomly say "how to turn on the lights" or he set it up in the dark
Grade A acting skill there!
We have very similar profile pics,
Noice
@@johnstutznegger4817 So funny that's all I could think about watching this.
note in hotel reservation: have my go pro set up and recording when i check in
Seattle - "practically in the Arctic" 🤣
here in quebec where we have 2 weeks of summer and 10 months of -40: loooooooool thats cute you think that
i used to hate waiting for July 4th Fireworks shows to start in local city parks there. It wasn't dark-dark enough til 10 PM & by then without jackets or blankets you'd be all shivering if wearing just shorts & t-shirt! Good times. in June & early July it starts getting light @ 4:45 AM, too.
where i live during the start of the summer and end of may it gets dark around 11pm and its one of the problems why u cant wake up at 7am next day going to school in tartu estonia 58 degrees north
Me and the bois chilling in Alaska.
I’m from canada and I’m just saying that Vancouver is our warmest city
I live 3 minutes away from duthie, it's a fantastic park. Im new to mountain biking but so far I'm loving it!!!
Jonah Frederick do you know what trails those were? Super cool
M5 the jump at 3:43 was from hlc line
i feel like i’ve been on ur driveway riding up to the transit trail
You are blessed man! I live in norther Germany and the area is FLAT. No trails, one Freeride Park built with ingenuity and love but honestly still humble, and the next 200-miles-away-mountains offer pay-to-use bike parks that are about 10% the experience you have there.
Relish, my friend. :)
I live 25 minutes from duthie
Your editing is cool, your voice isn't annoying to listen to, your content is amazing.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH
GalaxygamesNL yaa i like his voice
Lol ik dacht dat ik die enige Nederlander was lol
Bas van Dijk Bijna geen goeie mtb paatjes in NL.. Kom naar belgie ;)
Your house is safe in the hands of jesus😜
ikr
Yea god is so real
So your on a MTB channel slamming religion? You didn't show us your believes but your maturity!
@@seandan68 What in God's name are you people arguing about?
Jesuslover why do you have to announce your atheism for no reason no one asked
When he said “he was gonna hit this Porta potty” I thought he was gonna like bounce off it or something lol
The dog is smoking everyone 😂😂😂
The pedal cam=genius. Love it Seth 👊🏻
That chainstay perspective is super cool keep up the good work
Makes the trails look HYPER fast!
I think it makes his ankle look super crooked, did you brake it at some time Seth?
3:27
It's like counting sheep before bed omg
Randomly came across this, the 'local trails' in the second half of the vid is Tokul, 10 minutes from my house, Duthie is 20 minutes. I know it was a year ago but it's awesome to see people from far away stoked on my backyard trails!
Shout out to Evergreen MTB, I've never seen a MTB org that does so much, builds so much and is so universally positive! Next time ride Tiger Mt and the new Raging River system Evergreen just opened!
His hub sounds so good😍😍
Marisa Kaplan it does haha
Looks like we were at Duthie on the same day! Pretty much my backyard, can ride to the trails from my house. Thanks for paying us a visit!!!
Do u live in that's one neighborhood u have to pass to get to tye trails from the parking lot?
I live an hour away but i still go every weekend it’s so fun
If you return to the WA, there's a place about 45 minutes from Duthie called Tapeworm Trail (in Renton, WA) and it's got some gnarly features I think are up your alley.
Gnarly trails there. That dog was destroying you.
*9.48 that dog was so fast, was he on nitrus?*
thats why labs make great chase and tracking dogs
Fat Biker Vaibhav it's not that fast
Fat Biker Vaibhav no that dog is so goddamn jacked up on redbull that...........................idk
Fat Biker Vaibhav nitrous*
It was so fast, Seth was drafting off the dog
Fat Biker Vaibhav red bull
OMG YOUR COLLABING WITH IFHT THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL OF MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!!!!
Lex Page IKR, I SAW THEIR INSTA POST AND JUST ABOUT CHOKED WHILE DRINKING MY WATER
Lex Page I saw that and had to back it up to make sure my eyes weren't lying. IM SO EXCITED!!
Lex Page jjhhbb bbbjjiljk
Lex Page I know I went crazy as I saw the video title
I live in Seattle and have watched this video at least a couple times every month since it came out. I just love how stoked you were for the PNW! I'm never moving from here 😂
I live here and practically go to Duthie every single say possible. The weather is amazing for the park.
Little wet in the winter but season just started here
I love that the dog runs the trails with them. This looks really fun
6:15 you just see a front wheel in the air 😂😂😂
The cam on your chain stay has raised your game. Its great to see you get some air from that angle, its a much better perspective. I hope you do a tour in the UK someday!
I started mtn biking in '92 and can't at the age of 51 (next month) begin to think I can progress my jumping skill without laughing. Good on you younger gens for the bike access, very lucky.
Seth you're the one who inspired me to start making CZcams videos, and I've started to use your GoPro tips that you just put out. Keep making the great content, and I'll keep learning!
Jack Parker keep up the content I subbed
Jack Parker good to see that new youtubers are emerging
joseph ras thanks man
Fat Biker Vaibhav thanks, hope to get big soon!
Jack Parker i
There's something satisfying about watching the suspension do its thing from the back of the bike perspective like that.
I really like the addition of the rear cam. I've noticed in your videos it allows the viewer to see the terrain better. 👍🏽
Wow Seth, your videos are getting really good. I love the collabs with Alex and Brian, you guys just seem to be getting along better and better. The editing is getting really good too, it's all coming together to easily make you the best MTB channel on CZcams. Keep up the good work!
厉害了
Please come to New Zealand
NoNameNation agreed, he should so come to NZ
Come to nz
I can’t believe that the dog followed u guys even when u where riding super fast, she is sooo amazing and CUUUTE
love the background jazz on the flight. So Catch Me if You Can.
The new chainstay POV is super rad. Keep it up man.
Wanted to comment that, too! It's freaking awesome!
ifht boys
mahalo
13:25
Mahalo 🤙
joey for life
mahalo my dudes
your right. this is my backyard and in the summer and im loving my life about right now. :) thx for the great videos.
That looks so cool especially the jumps
Love your videos Seth! Keep it up.
Duthie hill is my very favorite place to ride! I'm so glad you went!
Brian always has so much class! And Seth you seem like such a power house, so much stamina! Love watching these videos, they get me by during the times when I can't get out and ride but need a mountain biking fix!!! 🤙
Duthie Bike Park-OMG!!!!!! My friends parents used to own all of that land! Most of my childhood was spent making poor decisions in those woods! I once drove a mini van through those woods trying to race a quad, the minivan had NOS but got stuck. We hacked down the brush to clear dirt bike trails one summer. Well actually we just drove a lifted truck through the forest and called that our trail. We had some cool trails, but I wonder if they still exist. We also used to paintball so we had constructed many forts for shelter there. My friends left in 2003 and looking at old news clippings it opened in 2010 so its doubtful.
This trip must mean us subbers are generating dat revenue. Huzzah, Let's put Seth on the moon!
Word to the wise: There are a lot of trails in Washington that are made for hiking, but provide a pretty fun mtb experience if no one is walking on them.
I keep coming back to this video every month or so, such a classic
Seth you never stop to amaze me with great content, i love the scenery on this video, thank you for sharing your experiences with us
Seth, thanks for keeping the content PG rated. Love the new camera angles you've incorporated into the video. Sounds like bees by your free wheel hub.
I like how all CZcamsrs set up a camera in their hotel room then walk out and walk right back in like it is their time seeing the room.
Love the chain stay cam. It gives a great perspective on speed and terrain.
Seth! So great to see you exploring my local trails. You should definitely hit Alsea Falls near Eugene next time you're around. I've been watching your videos for years, and they've been super inspiring to me as I've been on my mountain biking journey. That said, this is the first time I've been disappointed in any of your content. What you were saying about logging at 9:00 glazes over a lot of big issues for mountain biking and forestry in the PNW. All that tacky, squishy loam we love washes away when you clearcut and it is NOT a normal thing for those forests, we've just normaLIZED it. Regardless of what the money or trees are used for, it's not sustainable. Mountain bikers and folks with a following like yourself have a lot of power in supporting sustainable forestry, rather than big clearcuts that are made "okay" because we get to build trails in them.
I'm soooo jealous now, even though I'm not so good at mtb, it still seems fun
Why jealous? Seth is riding street and half-pipe for what, 20 years? He earned that experience. I started out about a month ago age 36... Now I am doing tiny, little bunny hops and it is serious fun! If I don't have to quit, I will ride serious stuff in 10 years, too! Just get stoked! ;D
2:10 "pretty nice" every time you enter a hotel room
Nice to see you out on the west coast. I'm so amazed at the Mountain biking and road biking available where I live in Redding, CA. We don't have the ski lifts like BC, and you have to watch out for poison oak. But, we've got paved trails and low traffic streets for the road bikes, nice flowing trails with beautiful views, and some serious technical trails for the graduate level biker. If you love hiking and/or biking, this is a pretty good place to live (it does get a bit hot in the summer though, today was the coolest day in over a week at 103 F).
@13:04...Brilliant. Using an oversize Snuggie as a changing room, so glad that didn't get edited out. I have been forced to do it in my front seat which is a real pain. MTB shorts with silicone leg bands are a pain to get on or off.
When he said Hey Siri my Siri turned on 😂
Sam Pack haha mine too😂

Lol saaammeee

Bike life hack : put small shock pump in seat tube.I have realy small pump so i put my in seat tube and tape it up with small bit electrical tape and it works just fine
Cool to see you here, - love your vids and have been watching to learn. I live 15 min from duthie. Took my first class at duthie this July and go there to practice and learn. Most of the stuff you guys did here is well beyond me right now. 😀
Thanks for visiting issaquah! Glad you had a good time.
if you have the chance travel down to Oregon maybe stop at Mount Hood and go onto Bend. some of the best desert riding in the area is in Bend. you're right next to Mount Bachelor and there are probably a hundred miles of trails
Kyle Van was just reading Ski Bowl website last night!! Said they are hoping to open the park up for Memorial day weekend! Hoping that is the case! If so, that's where I'll be heading!
1:52 if Seattle is practically the artic then what do you call Canada🤨
The north pole
@Haram Drilla ouch
I'm Canadian btw
William Rutledge Cuckland or the alternative Canadont say MAN- kind it’s sexist since they voted for the current world champion beta cuckster voted most cringeworthy person ever Justin Trudeau

You make some great videos & I think the hacks / tips n reviews are helpful as well. Have fun, keep the videos coming man, good work, thank you.
That was great! Love the zzzzzzz with the chainstay cam.

Gabe Itch I don’t think your casual 7 year old will even know what the word means..
@@urnan5229 thats really true though so it would be more like 4th graders/ 5th graders
Funny with what your name is
Better than your second name lolll
Jack Jeffrey my name doesn’t mean jerking off at least so shut the fuck up
Peace!✌️0:47
So rad to see my local trails featured in one of your videos. I'm about a 20 min drive to Duthie, 15 mins to Tokul, 15 Mins to Tiger, and 15 mins to Raging River when it opens. Plus in the winter i'm 35 mins to Snoqualmie Pass for snowboarding. I live in a pretty rad spot.
I'm so glad that you got to ride Duthie!!! I go there multiple times a year and absolutely love it! Keep up the good content!
Please hit A-Line when you make it to Whistler! I know the jumps are big but you can handle it!
He already did
Matt and Jason!
My favorite place on earth. Glad you made this video.
Duthie is my family's favorite place to ride. So many trails for all level of riders! 👍
this is so cool!! Who else goes to duthie hill? It's really fun!
i do
Sam Macray I do it's my favorite I love gravy train
Sam Macray where is it
Have you done a video on the trails at Tahoe?
He has not
There are very few channels on CZcams that upload videos that I will stop whatever I'm doing to watch. This is no doubt one of them. Keep up the great videos :) (loving the angle from your bike tire btw)
Keep coming with your videos- love from UK
nice
They have one in Idaho not too far from Spokane Washington it's got the longest kandola in the United States and it has the best downhill ever
Jon Mcgrellis did you mean gondola? I thought Sun Valley was the only bike park in Idaho.
In the summer you can mountain bike Silver Mountain
Silver Mountain in The ID panhandle is amazing.
Definitely going to have to check that out! My nephew lives in Whitefish MT so I've ridden Big Mountain which was a blast! I live in Vancouver Washington so there's tons of places near me, including My. Hood Ski Bowl. And my brother Lives in Athol, ID. I will definitely have to bug him to go do some biking with me next time I visit him! Which will be very soon!!
These trails are so beautiful!
That side camera adds a whole new appreciation for those jumps and the speed your going. Nice touch.
It is so weird watching everyone shake hands so freely...
It is weird that you care about Covid-19. Yeah what a weirdo...
@@ammonhawkins1968 you should care
@@charliesrcsandmtb3256 HAHAHAHAHA LIBTARD
You are the best ,cause of u I learnt how to bunny hop, regardless to this vid
ΙΑΣΩΝ ΚΥΡΙΑΖΗΣ exactly

ΙΑΣΩΝ ΚΥΡΙΑΖΗΣ με mtb??
me too, but I still suck at bunny hops because I never practice.

Awm SeaTac.! I'm happy you guys are there. Have a nice one.
That Jazz music... Love it!
Nice video Seth, greetings from Sardinia (Italy)!!
please ride whistler, seth please
Justin Shearer thats where he is right now
Look at his instagram
I just did a 4 day road trip through here to bc but probably don't have time for a bike park.
Bad practice to be stopping in the middle of the trail. Guys ahead did that several times and you almost went into the bush.
love the production. this is exactly why I follow Seth. keep up the great job!
Cool video! As a native Pacific Northwesterner, I can say that we have some great stuff for sure. Glad you got to come experience it!
I made the trails u were riding at duthie
Ian Bell do I know you?
Thanks so much dude. the park is awesome!
And I repair the trails you built, mainly just BCDC... it gets bad and the repairs don't last a week😢
what trails did you build
Iain Brixey lol
When are you in bc and where?
Not skipping ads because I want to see more videos like this 👌🏻
Thanks for visiting the state! its gorgeous on that side!
Gonna go to Frome mt in Vancouver Canada?
If he hasn't been here yet, I hope he does a meetup in the area
when he said”hey siri”, my phone decided that i sound like seth
Siri is surprisingly bad at detecting its user.
It even goes off quite often in movies or videos where nothing even remotely similar to "hey Siri" is being said.
I love flowy non-rocky trails. These look perfect. I lived in Colorado for a time and it was great....stuck in Minnesota which isn't so great unless you are willing to drive...and drive.
That pedal view is sick...it’s fun to watch the bike work through the run.
Do a draw my life
Yes! A draw my life from Seth would be great, I don't know about anyone else but I sure don't know shit about about
Luke Foster yeah
IFTH where there omg i love them
Lookie here! That’s where I live! It’s so cool that I recognize everything in here!
Am I the only one who doesn't mountain bike at all and still finds this entertaining as hell?
hahaha lol bkxc accidently announces that he is going to Switzerland next at 11.21
Come to England, East Midlands specifically
maxsmith444 *west midlands
You didn't even say please
*tut tut tut*
max smith yeaaah
George Taylor west side my g
max smith but your riding a dirtbike
Cant wait to see the rest of it... especially the one with IFHT!!!
Hey man fantastic video. I live in Seattle so it's really cool to see inspiring people like you riding on some of my home trails. Keep it up!!
