Yup, this ride is a gem. I found a hidden bike park on this one and turned it into one phenomenal loop. This is just one of the many amazing rides San Luis Obispo has to offer, but this one has got to be my new favorite.

Super great video Tony and thanks for the shoutout I knew you would enjoy it. Along with the great trails system and beautiful scenery it's one of the best trails in SLO. So many more trails in that area to explore all with beautiful scenery. It's one of my favorite areas to ride. :)
For sure John - and yes, this entire area is unreal. Great trails in such a beautiful place. Thanks for the heads up!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube mtb'ers. Couldn't agree more with your rant at 15:05. Awesome videos man!
Thanks Robert. Means a lot buddy. 👊✔️
Dude, this my favorite Outsider video! What a spectacular find! Respect to the builders for sure! Tony, you are an awesome story teller, an a super cool human being! I really appreciate your videos an all the places you bring us to! Thank you bro 🤟keep pedalin
Was one of my favorite rides too! And thanks for the complements - I’ll keepem coming!! 👊🏼
I live right by there and I love this trails me and my dad get to go about once a week
Lucky!
Same. I’m gonna look into it once I buy an MTB
Nice I heard about this place. I live in orcutt. I’m going next weekend
Question for you Paul. Would you recommend parking by the 101 or driving up the dirt road and parking up there safety wise? I'm in this area a lot but it's always with camping stuff in my truck that I'd rather hold on to...
Well known to us Locals for sure. Anyone parking there needs to be extra careful of having anything valuable in their vehicle. Due to close proximity to HWY 101 it is pretty common to see quick smash and grabs.
Great advice Nathan and here I was thinking I was smart. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks!
Nathan Delaney I have never heard of it and have lived in slow my whole life 🤷♀️
How dangerous is it? Are there a lot of people riding it?
@@luperamos7307Well maintained by CCCMB and others. It's not dangerous and it can get busy on weekends as sometimes there are shuttles running
@@NathanDelaney Aren't there mountain lions? If there are a lot of people it would make me feel a little better.
Thanks for all the dope videos!!! Much love bro never change and keep doing what your doing!
Thanks Erick - appreciate that buddy! 👊✔️
Such incredible views and awesome trails. Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Paul - I really enjoyed making it!
Love your videos! Thank you for bringing our trail maps to life!
Awesome - thanks for watching!

Thanks John - welcome to the channel! 😉
Fantastic stuff Tony. Stunning scenery.
Thanks Mark - this is a gem if a ride.

You bet!
This trail looks awesome! Thanks for sharing. Until next week!🤙🏼
See you then Mike! ✔️ Thanks for tuning in as always.
Insane ride dude !!!
Thanks!
My parents live 30 min from there and had no idea this existed. I’m definitely checking out. Thank you so much
Wow that’s awesome. Enjoy!
That’s exactly why I got into mountain biking, the adventure, the stuff you probably would never see, got some friends in SLO, gotta check this place out for sure 👍
Yup. That’s the stuff.
One of the gemS!
Bombers is a ripper of a trail! I haven't thought about that trail in ages! I rode that way back in the day with the guys from Mountain Cycle, who used to be based out of SLO. Thanks for the video! 🤘😎🤘
Sweet! I'll look into taking that one down next I'm un there too. So many trails so little time. haha - thanks for tuning in bud. 🤛
Another great one buddy 👍
Thanks man!!
This is a nice lil gem you found in that area Tony, good place to check out when passing through.
Exactly. Thanks for tuning in. 👊
Love these trails so much! I live in slo county and love riding there. Every time i go to the Euks i always watch this vid!
Cheers!
That was a great looking set of trails! Thanks for sharing the fun!
Thanks for being a part of it!
You're the man and have the best videos and perspective
Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in!
Hey Tony thanks for showing me these trails. So sick!!!!
Thanks for watching Matt!
Always wondered where the start was. So obvious. Beautiful scenery. Great ride Tony.
Thanks Dan - this was a good one. ✔️
Cool ride and great find, a really beautiful trail system!
Thanks and agreed! 👊✔️
great video. love trail finds!
Thanks Chris!
Nice I wish one day see you in santiago oaks orange you are good sigue adelante no pares gracias por subir estos videos
Great video!! Looks a summer trip will be necessary.
Such a great place to go - thanks! 😉
Those trails you find out in the middle of nowhere are always fun. Might be the best trails, but that feeling of being in a secluded place away from the rats race is amazing.
Agreed - the great trails and feeling away from it all is one of my favorite combos. Thanks for watching Brian. 👊
I love how you guys call my backyard the middle of nowhere! 😁
@@Stanton_High you from slo to? 😂
Send It Sam same here lol saw this in my recommendations and went “oh cool”
@@kaizamora7681 ikr RUclips knows where we live 😲
You gotta come back! Recently they built up a lot of the birms in the Eucs and added a few more jumps to both runs, as well as smoothing out certain parts too. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the info!
Welcome to the central coast. Doing that ride today. We definitely have some of the best around
That's why I started too. The sights. Great music. Also that was a very cool place
Thanks for watching and glad to hear you are in the same category. 😉
Rad!!! Sometimes I go to NorCal to see family. Now I’ll take the long way to hit this spot. Looks so fun. Thank you bro! Just did Sky Park for the first time on Saturday. I loved it but more importantly my wife and kids loved it. Even saw a magic show while there and chilled with a beer. So rad!!!
Nice!
Such a great video. I have a couple project bikes that would love to go on this ride. Once they get rebuilt and myself in shape again. That would be a blast.
There are a couple trails in Atascadero (I heard) but haven't seen. Thanks for sharing. Safe rides.
Thanks for the info and tuning in JD. 👊👌
Tony another awesome video I just might have to go up and check that one out! Thank you very much!!
It’ll be worth it - thanks Daniel!
Love the Zelda reference 👍🏽 Once again another great video!
Haha thanks for noticing that AND WATCHING! 👊
What an awesome rad trail system! 😎👍🤙
Agreed! Thanks for watching Jeremy.
Whoa getting ballsy! Stay safe, nice find.
Haha thanks Drews! 😉👊
I get to ride this trail from my house! I usually climb Shooters and hit Botanicals/Morning Glory on the return then session the skills park a bit. You picked the right time of year.
Nice next time I have to hit those other two down to Eucs! I hear it’s a rad shuttle all the way down as well.
whenever im staying up there I get to ride those daily since my house is on tv tower so they are literally my backyard
Ben Kroko I didn’t know there was a house on TV Tower. Is it where the pavement ends?
You really make me miss California. Amazing video.
Feeling lucky to be around these places for sure. Thanks Richard!
Great video! Sitting here in Santa Maria wanting to ride but no bike since I flew out to help my daughter during these crazy times. This was a good substitute and look forward to riding it one day! Thanks!
Good stuff David!
I got to ride there in 2016 on a drive from Humboldt to Socal. What a rad surprise it was. And yes, location could not be more convenient.
👍
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Tony, great video, thanks for sharing. I'll have to hit this place next time I do a road trip with my bike up the coast. I share your passion and motives for getting outdoors and seeing the scenery as you mention and ponder at 15:05 Prior to mtb, I was all about hiking, scrambling, climbing off-trail to bag peaks in the N. Cascade mountains around Seattle. My primary motive for getting out is to experience the many wonderful natural mountain settings. Once I moved to San Diego I was also blessed to have the opportunity to explore the hardcore desert and how are Eastern County. Desert sand is not the friendliest of surfaces for mountain biking, so I found having a plated enduro dirt bike was a great way to take in even more.
Thanks for sharing and well said. Glad you appreciate those things as well.
@@TheOutsiderMTB I just edited my comment because my stupid dictation software fouled it up :-) I was referring to the desert sand as a basis for dirt bike in the desert.
Killer Ride!
Thanks Frank!
This Spring has been AWESOME for riding. All that winter rain really made the landscape pop!
Totally - so green and full of life out there. Thanks for watching Jason!
@@TheOutsiderMTB Thanks for the uploads! I'm up in the Bay Area but i will definitely make it a point to get down the Eucs at some point.
👊
The only riding I've done in San Luis Obispo is irish hills, but sick video this was awesome
I'be got to ride that area next time - thanks Niccolo!
Brilliant vista..
Kip is so creepy!!! I love it. Great Vid, you would really dig Trailside in Park City, UT.
On my list! Amazing stuff up there Lee.
On a road trip to escape COVID, and met local while riding Irish hills (highly recommended!!). He told me about tv tower because I was looking for campsite for night. Ended up pitching tent at top of elevator shaft. Beautiful sunset but trash everywhere SAD!. Did CCW loop of TV tower, botanical, morning glory and up shooters. Totally missed eucs section! Oh well - next time. I got into mtb for same reason as you - the views!
While climbing shooters, I heard a cougar or mountain lion screaming (I was told they're mating). Blood curdling scream - not pleasant when climbing alone and tired!!!
Thanks for sharing! That's awesome - glad you're able to get an escape right now too!
Love this!! Ok, gotta hit this place but unfortunately I'm about 4 hrs away so seems good for a day trip and check the area out too.
How long did it take you from the parking (car) to the actual bike park?
Yup make a couple days out of it for sure. 👊
The Eucs is two short trails. Not sure I would call it a bike park. Also its not very hidden, any local will tell you about it and its on trailforks. A little bit click bait-ey but at least he is sharing fun with the world.
It's not hidden at all, everybody knows about it here in slo.
Love the video! Dude when you have the time check out the trails in Frazier park (near Gorman) Lots of appreciation stations. Deluxe 👌
Sweet - will do and thanks Tristan. 👊
Tristan Bastidas I just did the Mt Pinos shuttle, May 4th, hit 40 mph, rode 40 miles🤙
Great ride, it is a nice place👍👌
Sure is! 👊
love the vids man ! are you using a chesty and a hero 7?
Thanks! I’m using the hero 4 because the audio is better. Going to test the 7 soon. 👊
you found it! i rode that trail last october from campus, all uphill. i was pretty shot by the time i got to the eucs. i was all alone as well.... not a sole to be found all day long. beautiful place, was yellow when i was there however.
Haha awesome you found it too. That’s a helluva climb up. Heck yeah Leo. 👊
Nice find! We gotta try that one when we do our bikepacking trip from Portland to Los Angeles. Or whenever we go back up north!
Also for those explorations, you should definitely have bike bags to take with you. I'm not saying that to sell you anything. But for safety as well. You can take food with you, warm clothing, tools, and even extra water! I rather lug around a bit extra weight to be on the safe side.
But nice video, dude!
Thanks for the info man. I don’t think bike bags would work for downhill trails though I’m a full suspension bike right?
@@TheOutsiderMTB Bags for all kinds of bikes to utilize. Here's a wedge bag we made for a full suspension MTB: instagram.com/p/Bu35WUKlUoc/?igshid=1t4c0b8jdg5ly
You have room on the handlebars for a Bar Bag. The bags do not interrupt your downhill experience.
There's also Hip Bags if you don't want to commit to bike bags.
Great place to ride, beautiful country. That "One camera shot" Ride Semenuk did in UnReal, in the green hills set to "For What it's Worth" was shot about 30 or 40 minutes north of where you are off of Hwy 1 in the Cambria area.
Wow that’s the best fun fact I’ve ever gotten. Solid. 🔥
I can totally relate bro , I was a hardcore motocrosser but now am slaying trails on my bike up here in NorCal enjoying sick trails & 🍻.. another sick video ✊🏻!
Nice man! Appreciate that!
this is my favorite local jump spot
👊✔️
Wow beautiful
Agreed!
how long did it take to ride this entire loop if you don't include the multiple runs in the eucs bike park section?
Couple hours I'd say.
How many miles did you do in total , and how many hours did it take ? Thinking about doing this trail system with my buddies ?
Check the links below the video. 👍
Trip your climb looks like my ride in Marin county ..
😃 can be scary...but you're smart for being careful.
Thanks!
I live in Morro Bay. There are some other trails off of South Bay blvd that are really fun and I also recommend black hill trails or Montana de oro
Awesome thanks for the info. My last video I did Montana de Oro - one of my favorite rides. 👌
As an Australian it's really weird seeing all those eucalyptus trees! It really looks like a local trail for that reason. But apparently the trees are quite disliked in California? Because they are really well-respected here, and some of the older specimens are among the tallest trees in the world.
Interesting - I didn't know that. From a personal standpoint, I love them. Really adds to the landscape. Thanks for tuning in from the land down under! 😉
@slimeone you are correct, I've heard Californians disparage eucalyptus. They're referred to as "Roman candles " because the oil makes them burn so easily. You guys just had massive fires. Eucalyptus?
@@jitterspec Yeah basically all the native forest in Australia is Eucalyptus apart from rainforest and swamp areas. Bushfires are a natural part of the Australian ecosystem, with many species of trees seeds only sprouting after a fire. The Aboriginal people understood this and developed advanced strategic burning practices to help sustain a healthy balance in the environment which prevented fires from burning out of control. Unfortunately the land is no longer managed like this and much of the ancient knowledge has been lost.
SLO is a cool place to ride.
YUP!
I live there haha
I may have to take the PCH up to Santa Cruz on my way back to Oregon next week
I highly recommend 👊
@@TheOutsiderMTB Looks really fun and beautiful! How long is the ride to get to the park section?
Maybe 25? It’s the back out section that’s tough.
Where is this trail?
San Luis Obispo
How can I get to that trail I’m new to mountain biking
I show you in the vid. Also the links below the vid give you the map and route.
Grapefruit helps stop cramps & charlie horse issues
Dam it's so green over there
So so green. 👊
Only for a month or two lol. Once summer comes around it's brown and dry until the rain comes back
as of 2020, that place is so dry. I wish it would be more green
I just road there a week ago. You're right.
What breed of dog is Pupper Pip?
Not sure - we think part papillon and something else. The ears throw it off. 😉
Didn't hit WOFTT on the way back? It's the shortest but the gnarliest.
I’ll have to look that one up for next time. 👊
@@TheOutsiderMTB hang right on tv road near the end, the start is a 5ft lip over a boulder to blind. Be careful, conditions change ALOT. 😂
Does OC have trails like that?
Depends who you ask. 😉 I’d say we have some pretty epic trails here for sure.
Good point... nice edit...🎆🎆🎆
You killed me when you said this doesn't look like a good system for bikes lol. why the bars there i wonder/
Not sure what part of the vid you're referring to - maybe the gate? haha - yeah.
@@TheOutsiderMTB Yeah that gate :)
The bars are to keep the motos out. I ride there weekly.
Didn’t know that makes sense now! Thx
nothing wrong with the full face helm. could save your face. :)
Agreed!
Looks like the Shire.
Cheers Chris. ✔️
That shooters trail is even more crazy if you hit it in the winter on a cloud covered day around 4 or 5 pm when the fog rolls in and it’s just pure fog around you. I have a video of this on my instagram if you just scroll down a little ways @ben.kroko
Good stuff Ben. ✔️👊
I’m so sorry I hit dislike on accident I meant to hit like 😂 I’m literally riding this tomorrow
Haha you can click it again and cancel it out. 😉 Enjoy!
Tony, how the hell are you?
Pretty damn good Joe! Good to hear from you bud. You still riding?
@@TheOutsiderMTB hell yeah I still ride!!
I have some crappy videos on here from kingdom trails
@@jlljr1968 I like the one where your friend crashed and you're trying to cheer him up. It's those crappy tires! haha
@@TheOutsiderMTB I was right behind him and crashed for no reason there wasn't anything in the trail.
No please don’t stop hear there is already to many people🤦♂️
