I'm a COVID-19 MTB product since I really started riding since beginning of 2020; when everything was shut down.
I never stopped riding ever since!
Located in South California, this channel intends to show the nice stuff I'm riding mostly in CA.
I'm 48 years old and I intend to ride as much as I can before I'm too old :-)

Suicide Trail - Agoura Hills (and a rattle snake)
Просмотров 875 месяцев назад
This is a real downhill trail, very technical with multiple lines possible, and can be as fast as you can ride it! The only thing is, if you are riding a non e-bike, you will suffer a lot to climb to that trail. Shortest way is climbing DeadCow (which is another black trail) or go the long way around it (watch my Strava route to see). Trailforks: www.trailforks.com/trails/suicide/ Strava: www.s...

TommyKnocker - Topanga Creek
Просмотров 1029 месяцев назад
Short black trail in the Topanga Creek region. Pretty steep with some features planted here and there. There is one little double jump that is unrealistic as we can't get enough speed to clear it but it's rollable so no big deal. Some sections are pretty confusing as it splits in 2 on several areas (maybe the builders wanted to create several lines). But they all end up at the same spot anyway....

Sullivan Canyon - Santa Monica Mountains
Welcome to my city!
what makes this trail "enduro"?
It was an official enduro race trail in the Big Bear races. And it really defines what is an enduro as there are some bits of pedaling and some technical downhill bits. Unfortunately it’s now gone after the 2022 fires…
@@mtbpap its not gone, ppl ride it all the time
Not since 2022, it’s closed. I went to summit less than a month ago and it’s still closed.
Wow those are some serious ruts 😂
Thank you, wanna try this trail too
I'm actually in a similar position as you. Also want to start mountain biking before I'm too old. But I'm a little reluctant to go out on trails bc I'm really scared of mountain lions. Do you have any trail recommendations for trails that are well traveled?
Mountain lions are a very rare sight when mountain biking. Since 2020, i only saw 2 mountain lions on the trails while riding. Both time they ran away from me when they saw me. An adult rider with a bike appears way bigger than a mountain lion, so they will leave you alone. Size matters with mountain lion. Most dangerous situation would be to get too close to cubs, then the mother could attack. Don’t let this deter you from riding, mountain biking is an awesome sport!
I'm racing beginner downhill this year (my first race of any kind ever) and wondered if there are places for racers to store their things when it's their turn to go? Will probably have a backpack with some stuff and would really like to not have that on me when I'm racing! Also--did you buy a priority parking pass, or just park far and ride in?
When you are racing at Sea Otter, you have a free parking spot. That's where I would suggest to keep your stuff. It can be a little far to walk from your car to the DH course, but you'll have your bike so it's not really a problem.
I live a few miles from the park so I kind of lucked out when riding here. Exploring was easy by way of buildings and other landmarks so finding my way back was never a problem. I really enjoy the different terrains available. I enjoyed your video showing it off because not a whole lot of people know about t.
Thank you. I kinda discover that area by accident, but I was not disappointed. You are lucky to live nearby. There are so many riding possibilities.
Looks awesome! I'm going out there this year to try it for my first time. Any tips?
Trails are not super interesting but event is pretty rad. It’s almost as the entire bike industry is there that week. Also, to do the DH race, you really don’t need a DH bike. An enduro or trail bike is all you need.
If you could do anything different in terms of pre-riding and what not would you?
Do as many laps as you can. This trail requires confidence to be fast.
Hey. Just subscribed. Good videos. Done some races but never Sea Otter. I'm just getting started at @Chat MTB...
Thank you. Sea Otter doesn't have the most fun trails, but the event is a must go, at least once.
@mtbpap sounds good. Been riding 25 yrs.. Just launching my own channel. Tons of video to edit and add the next few weeks. Check it out if you can. More to come.
👏🏼
I hiked every square inch of trail in this park over the course of like 2 years in college! Will have to come back with a bike eventually.
I really like this local trail system. I go head very often 🚲
Judging by your breathing, seems like anxiety got the best of you. It was in that condition the last time I rode it some years back. Thanks for sharing.
It was not really anxiety, but this trail is physical. I’m always out of breath at the end of the trail.
I always look up at that and I know someone is riding it. Incredible to see it actually done. Kudo's! That was seriously awesome.
Why are you on the trail biking down it? Fing dumb.
Uh this is why I don't like bikers I find you to be rude...why would you ask "Why would anyone attempt to climb rock it trail?" Last I heard the people not on bikes have the right away so please lose the attitude you aren't better then everyone else and your privilege is showing. RUDE!
You are mistaken. I was referring to the biker climbing that trail; which is VERY unusual. Hikers are pretty common and expected to share the trails with bikers going downhill. And I'm always courteous with hikers, and always warn my presence by screaming "Rider" from far. Peace
I was climbing up the rock trail and a biker almost hit me I felt so bad but we were both okay. lol! Kind of scary. I love this place though.
yup, nice work they have done.
William and his boys really transformed that trail
Nice going on that crazy chute at the end. I just did this one for the first time a few days ago. I wasn't getting a good feeling from that plunging chute; it looked too sketchy and loose so I took the B line over to the left.
Yes I was hesitant too but it looked doable from previous similar situations... But better make sure you are not leaning forward on your bike when doing it!
this looks like a fun flowy trail. I don't think I've ridden in Topanga Creek... maybe I have. Is it worth coming out here , 1 hr drive?
Personally, I prefer Serrania which is the blue trail next to it (also reviewed on my channel). For me it's 40 min drive, so it's kinda worth it when you have enough of riding your usual neighborhood trails.
I see this is over a year ago. Any chance you've ridden this recently? I would love to do this trail but I believe it drops you off in Sullivan Canyon which has been completely closed off for many months now. Have no idea if it's even rideable now or if there's some kind of bypass route at the end...
I did ride it a month ago, it's in pretty good condition. I know Sullivan Canyon is closed for work, but there is no sign on top on Monkey Spanker to stop you. There is one though on top of First Crack. Then I rode down Sullivan Canyon to the start, and as I was exiting, the guard didn't tell me anything. But I guess he wouldn't let anyone in.
@@mtbpap Thanks, man; I appreciate the info! Gonna give this one a whirl soon and see what happens...
Juat checking to see what courses they used last year. WOW totally different than 7 years ago when I did it (and was sore for the rest of the SOC). Is it the GoPro effect or are stages 2,3,4 rather, uh, FLAT? Good job and I know just what it feels like to breathe that heavily (and crash)! I just signed up for the 60+ 2024 and I hope they have a more gravity-fed course!! The climb up Barloy Canyon did suck while still being on a timed tranfer stage between 3 and 4 (DS couse back then)_....won't miss that..
Except for the DH stage, courses are pretty flat. More cross country than Enduro!
its in better condition now, less ruts
Agreed, I rode it too not long ago and a lot of trail maintenance has been done. Only thing still that stops your ride is the tree toward the end that is too low to go under while mounted.
Nice job. Gives this 52 year old inspiration to enter my first race.
Thank you. It’s fun, even if you are in the back of the field 🤙🏻
Going down the main rock garden, you went to the Right. Any reason for that preference? Going left seems a little steeper but once past the initial lip and drop, seems like a little straighter line if just let the suspension do it’s job and resist using the brakes too much. I’ve only ridden this once and feel like now that I have a little idea of the layout, should be much easier to blitz down it, rather than just ride it And over think it (riding 170mm fox 38 and 160mm cascade link on Levo)
Going to the right is 10% easier than staying left and straight. I did both lines but I have a slight preference on the right one.
Broooo the ad before this video was F!#$ing cursed out of my mind!! I just wanted to see this great vid but I couldn't because of the inappropriate AF ad.
What ad are you referring to? I don’t control the ads anyhow.
@@mtbpap I would get banned if I said it but Our ******'s are better then I quick turned my sound off. But amazing vid!!
@@deturdle78i know exactly what your talking about sadly that company pays for there ads so there nothing we can do about it 😢
Thanks for the video dude! If you practice some turns and lay-off the brake a little bit you’ll make some huge improvements
Since then, I now have a pro coaching me how to go faster on the turns. 🤘🏻
Well, why the hell would you take it in? First place or try to for that matter.
???
@@mtbpap Yeah I don't know either what I was trying to write
Thank you for leaving it be just like we should
So whats theis sound track called?
It’s in the description.
Is kayaking permitted in Sullivan canyon?
🤣 now the water is almost gone after all these months. It took a while!
LOL, that was great!
Whoa Pap! Good save 👏👏👏
Nice job. Did you have to pedal between each course or were you allowed to use the lift?
Lift access to first stage, then lift access to start of "Going Green" trail, then liaison to Stage 2 with your own power. Stage 3 was lift access as well. So not much liaison pedaling...
Nice work!
Thanks!
Sweet video!
I was pulling for you Chris! You were on a heater on your first MM run until the bobble. Good work! You’ll get the next one!👊
Thanks Herbie. My 2nd run, despite being in theory slower than my first one, equaled exactly my PR on Strava made last year. So at least it’s not full shame…
Hole in the fence is scary
I love this bike park🔥🔥
Nice. Just got back into MTB last summer and haven't done a bike park yet. This def helps me know what I'd be getting in to- looks fun!
Looks super familiar
Is that at Ventura CA?
Thousand Oaks.
After that they will overpower u since u can't protect urself
Next step they will confiscate all guns
What is the best way to get up to this trail?
Take West Mandeville fire road up to “Little Mike hates this” trail then you’ll find the entrance on the left side. Use the Trailfork link in the description to locate it better. It’s really a fun trail!
Nice. Always take out the hiker when you have an opportunity like that though...;)
Ah so the trail isn't completely destroyed from all the rains. Awesome job. I'm gonna go hit this myself since I see it's rideable.
It's actually in really good shape, dirt is good. Only thing is rivers are a little deeper ;-)
Mocarny zawodnik 👍
Over rated. Unless you are an expert rider. Expect a lot of hike-a-bike. The main features that all the influencers show you, some of which don't even ride themselves, are much worse in person than they appear on video. I'll stick with Templeton and Slim Shady If I want to ride Oak Creek region of Sedona.
Very true. I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling that way!
And if you parked at an Oak Creek trailhead near the start, have fun hiking up the hill to take Templeton back to your car. ... What a delightful day 😅
That’s actually what we did, hence we didn’t enjoy Templeton back to our car.
