XC Bombers: Ethan Villaneda on Mt Wilson Toll Rd
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 май 2024
- What an epic day on the bike! I met up with Ethan for the first time and we climbed the beast that is Mt. Wilson. After all that climbing I knew it had to be a good descent, not least because I was going to be on the wheel of one of the most talented young riders in the US. Be it road or dirt, Ethan is one of the fastest juniors, notching up national titles and podiums for road and MTB. He is also really talented in the skills department, and his love for fun on the bike is something I identify with. Thanks for the ride and the bike lessons, Ethan!

Hi Safa, you can't understand how happy these videos make me. I have little time available lately because I'm graduating in medicine and, among many commitments, I had to put aside for a while the xc which is one of my greatest passions. I watch your videos when I get home in the evening and I feel like I'm on a bike with you, my mirror neurons thank you !!
🙌 Someone needs to be able to fix the crashed xc riders. Hope you get to ride again soon.
@@SAFABrian lol😅
I used to be more into cars still am. But when suddenly one day i came across safa’s downhill video and got so excited, didnt even knew y could do so much exciting stuff with a cycle. I got hooked and started researching more about cycles, gears there types etc. Now im so addicted to cycling and safa’s videos.
My most favourite video of safa is the one with Dante young. It’s just perfect. 😎👍🏻
And it gets more fun the more fit and skilled you will be getting for sure!
same!
You’ve got me trying to figure out how to fit another bike in my apartment. I need a xc bike this looks like heaven

Lol people finding that xc is much fun than road.
I said so.

just what I was thinking
Just amazing bike skills and reactions from both of you.
I can imagine it's more difficult to follow someone that close, than being in front. As you need to reaction to the track and also to their movements.
Guys super agile, I really like the way he is constantly testing, pumping and reinforcing the feel of his bike
That was a real nice! So jelly. That kid is going to be something else if he doesn't destroy himself!

I did this ride just last Sunday. It took me 3 1/2 hours to get up and only 30 minutes to get down. Lots of fun and worth the suffering. Good thing they had apple pie at the cafe on the top.
The Cafe was closed when we got up there 😉
Do you guys have a trail map link you can share. I'm planning to do this in a few weeks. Thanks in advance. Awesome video!
The content just keeps getting better and better! Nice one Safa!
Much respect to the both of you 👍👍👌👌 There's so much to process during the ride with little time to even react but you guys made it look like it was nothing. Cheers to you guys for the sick content😊😊
This youth is crazy!
I love my Scott spark it’s unbelievably fast everywhere and keeps up with the road bikes around town :) looks like awesome fun!!!
Years ago I rode a trail down from the top that was marked " use at your own risk ". It was very narrow single track with a lot of off camber shit. Much more narrow than what you guys are on with some insane drop offs. Was a little nerve racking but one hell of a lot of fun.
More "XC Bombers" videos please and thank you!
I was not riding like this at 17 years old. Good for this guy.
Thank God this wasn't on a gravel bike!
The dirt tracking foot out cracked me up, lean that bike over you'll be fine!
Epic ride gents
lurkin the strava looks like without the flat you'd have pulled second on the descent, pretty intense for how loose ethan looked
Damn, you guys were shredding hard! That looked hella fun!! Nice!!! 🤘🤘
great sound on this, well done
Pretty impressive, tail wips!!! Actually very impressive!
That was pretty dangerous, had me sweatin 😅
What?
Such smoothness
The BIke handling is sick!! well played :)
Thrilling video SAFA! Thank you and Ethan for taking us along for the shred session.
Amazing video. Cheers from Portugal.

This video is giving me a heart attack! Nice ride! :D

That's amazing!!!!
Amazing! 👍👍👍👍
I love my Scott Addict RC road bike (the same as SAFA had last year, with yellow decals), but bought Specialized Epic Evo as this year's MTB, sorry Scott but the simplicity of Specialized wins over the Scott integration of everything :) (the bike is amazing btw)
The best ride of SAFA
Dream track, so poppy and jumpy on those small travel light beasts
Skill Level 10!!
You are a legend brother
What a beautiful day to ride an mtb.
nice ride keep it up
I remember grinding up this toll rd. on my mtn bike, it is tuff! Rather much do it again on my gravel, to bad the trails up there are closed right now☹
Coming down on your gravel bike won't be as nice as this.
Riding my mtn. bike down was fun! Just the first time riding up was tough, I don't mind the sacrifice decending on a gravel though.
awesome more XC riding videos please 🚵♂👌
"are we going back up!?", Driving up there made me nervous, I couldn't imagine being one of the bikers I saw climbing up to the top. Balls....serious balls.
Very good this downhill .
Excellent cyclist you are. 👏
awesome ride...
You did it bro! You got a mtb!
Awesome 😁🔥
some of your stickers just arrived, much love from australia
🙌
Severa ruta y severo nivel 🤟🤟
My mom would drop us kids off at the top of Mt. Wilson in her station wagon in 1970. I was 12. We could fit 3 stingrays and 3 kids. We'd bomb the fire road and she'd bomb the crest to meet back up with us at Eaton Canyon. We were moto kids emulating Brad Lackey and Roger DeCoster. Funny how popular mountain biking became.
Love it.
Nice Ride👍
What a beautiful place...
That's it. I was going to get the Scott Spark 910. Eff that. I'm getting the Scott Spark team issue AXS.
Atlast XC 😍😍
Buen entrenamiento 🚴👍
Awesome
Oh to be 17 again!!!
Hell yeah bro
god dam this looks epic fun
Hit up Hulda crooks, has many trails. It's fun, flowy and steep of you want it.
Nice, He's good, habit of diving in a bit early it's all fun n games tho innit - go wide n' let her slide my guy 👊
9.0 miles in 23.5 minutes = 23 mph (avg) = crazy fast for that route!
Rode this in 1988 ... much more slowly. Elevation change: 4400'
im so enjoy
Amazing control Ethan has! Pleasure to watch
I would love to ride on this trail looks fun 💥
Please do more videos on the Angeles forest 🔥🔥🔥
Ethan RIPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSS!
