We sent team riders Mark Scott and Rich Thomas out to see Brian at Ride Portugal. They took their good buddy Sam Flanagan along for the ride and Milky rode shotgun to shoot a story for the mag.
We visited Brian a few years back in the early days of Ride Portugal. It was awesome and we swore we’d return. A few years on and Brian has built a tonne of gnarly tracks that are getting great reviews from his guests.
But don’t take our word for it, check out the video … and look out for our feature in the next issue of the mag.
