Am I really ready to take on the toughest tech challenge I’ve ever seen? Lots of my buddies have cleaned Horsethief Bench in Fruita. But my buddies have also done lots of things that I can’t pull off yet. It’s all about MY skills and level of comfort. I knew I had to attempt the Bench today, but I didn’t think it would be this damn scary.

The key to surviving Horsethief, is to let the pros do it and just watch them on youtube :)
-
Horsethief’s bench is where I suck up the pride, get off and walk... that section right after Horsethief’s tho, holy crap so beauty...
-
Your riding has gotten so much better this year and you are taking on way more challenges than ever before! Kudos!
-
Well done Bryan! As always, GoPro does very little justice to a massive feature that's difficult to even walk down. Moore Fun actually looked pretty interesting, I did think that a lot of the trails other than Horsethief (which is amazing) were pretty boring in the Kokopelli area but will give Moore a shot next time I'm over there.

Dude I feel like I barely make it out of my SPD's in time when I slow-mo a bad berm entry. I cannot fathom the skill needed to unclip fast enough not to die violently on that run. You owned it. Awesome.
-
I rode this trail two days ago! I was extremely proud to have gone more than half way down the drop in, and then clear the rest of the trail. It’s sketchy as hell!
-
Killed it Bryan, Rode this trail system last fall for the first time with my two brothers. Walked horsethief bench but will attempt to conquer it this year. Awesome trails, cool town, and don’t forget to ride 18 road while your in the area!

I lived in Fruita for 2 years (2014 & 2015). Horsethief Bench is my favorite ride. I would never attempt that drop in. I always walked it to keep myself out of the emergency room 😀. Always love the show. Bay Area rider in Moraga. Miss Fruita all the time. I was back in town last October for a bike trip. You need to ride the new Palisade Plunge.

Great work Brian! Last April, we were on our way from Fruita to Moab and I went OTB on the rock slab/rock roll/drop. Too much speed and tried to roll it. Bad move. Broke a rib and a bone in my hand. Lesson learned.
-
Mad respect for riding that section. I’ve been on it a handful of times and was nowhere close finishing it
-
just bought a T-shirt...glad to help a fellow junkie in need. I've been watching your vids for awhile now and they have brought me joy when I can't ride. Cheers mate and perhaps I'll see ya on the trail one of these days!
-
Talk about Beast Mode! Dude, you did those features insanely fast! Great job Brian!
-
Great job, Looks like you had a blast out there.. Tough and beautiful terrain.👍
-
Never been happier to support the channel and looking forward to getting my tshirt :) much love Brian!
-
Love seeing RC! Such a great attitude.
-
Tremendous, Brian!🙌🤙 the hands were sweating and then relief you sent the whole line!! 🔥
-
Impressive! Done that ride numerous times…never really tried the drop in. The first time I rode it, I don’t think it was really possible, but since then it has been reworked but is still no joke!
-
Yesssssssss.. I have the original shirt in Red, and it's pretty tattered. I was bummed that you didn't restock them and now that it's back I will buy 2. Thanks Brian!!
-
Brian; you’re a stud man.. I visited that trail on our way to Moab last fall and I was sliding down that feature on my ass in a few spots!
-
Thats some crazy riding man. So cool to see you just full send anything in your way
