My home loop for sure. Try it at night. Makes fully even more fun.
I see you guys in the lot getting ready for a night ride. Sounds fun!
Great video, i used your first video of Fullerton loop as a guide and super enjoyed this trail. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your new vids 👍
Thanks Keith! Will do. 👊
Tony! Making the F Loop look fun again. Thanks for making this video!
A little bit of everything! Great vid! 👍
The golf course tunnel had 1ft deep water running through it this past Saturday! Fully loop was really mellowed out by the rains, especially all the brake bumps at the high speed downhill.
Good to know! Thanks ✔️
Wow!...been going to this trail once every week the past few years and now realized I've been missing some of the more fun sections..Thanks!
Nice! Even more stuff now since then. ✔️
Awesome! You may have just made this loop fun again for me! Thanks for the great guide,!Tony!👍
Love hearing that - enjoy! And thanks for being a part of the channel. 😉
Awesome camera shots on this video! As always thanks for the great content. 🤙
Thanks Mike! Appreciate you always tuning in bud. 👌
Watching this vid brings back sooo many great memories when I lived in Fullerton. I use to ride this trail at least 3 - 4 times a week after work . Nothing but good times. Like Bob Hope sang"Thanks For The Memory"
Haha I get it. Happy provide a little nostalgia.
i finally got to check this out yesterday and it taught my that my climbing needs a lot of work. Off to work with really sore legs thanks for the video!
Great you got out there thanks!
Good looking out on the secret trails. New to MTB. love that it’s in my backyard, now there’s that much more to explore. Keep ridding brother!!
Sweet! Get out there and get some Roger! Welcome to the mtb community!
Epic, Outsider!
What a great semi - urban ride. I wish I had trails like that near me!
Thanks for that. I'm going to do the Fullerton loop with some people this Thursday morning despite the Heat so I am reviewing the videos on your channel so I know what to expect. When my bike buddy suggested it I immediately said yes because even though I don't ride in Orange County that much I knew that you had a video or two on this
Have fun Kit!
My home trail!! I used to ride that twice a week when I still lived in Brea. Now im east coasting but good memories
Right on outsider! Great loop videos! I’m guna keep my eye our for you when I’m out there. Stay safe.
Sounds good!
I will refer to you as Mr. special and you will like it! LOL Another GREAT video and guide. What an amazing service you are providing to people living or visiting SoCal. We all like to explore and find new places to ride, but if you literally have no clue or have never been to a trail system, it can be quite intimidating. When we first moved to Santa Cruz, we were totally lost. Even after riding it for 10 months, we are still finding huge swaths of track that we have never ridden before. Anyhow, thanks again brother for your service to the MTB community. Your efforts shall not go unrecognized!
Thanks again - always value you your feedback. And I agree - when I first moved here I had no idea how much was out there for trail systems. Amazing how things open up after a little bit of time and research. Appreciate you tuning in as always! - Mr. Special
Thank you for making this video! I moved to AZ, and I miss trails like this. I used to do this trail weekly during the summer after work. I hope you are still enjoying this trail.
That's awesome!
Beautiful flow boss!🥰
Thx Johnny. 👊
been here several times after your trail guide video and i like it. Not very technical but it works out the lungs and legs! Got some more pointers for the next time from this video, thanks!!! Keep up the videos!
Thanks! I have fun every time here. ;)
sub my channel and support me
Thanks Outsider!!
You bet!
Lmao 😂.. Outsiderville it is Brother! 🤘🏽
I've definitely seen you at the park with your dog before. I'll say what's up next time! Thanks for the post; I picked up a couple new tips I'll try tomorrow.
Ha that’s great. Say hello for sure Nolan. Love seeing you guys out there while Pips taking his sweet ass time. 😉
Have you thought about doing a meet and greet and ride?? If anything you should do it here (Fullerton loop) for people that are new to mtb!!
I have but nothing solid in the plans yet. Good idea. ✔️
I lived less than a mile from the Loop and only did it twice, just part of it. Now I live an hour away and hit it as much as I can. Awesome trail!
👏👏👏
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for tuning in Kevin!
Hope to ride it this week
Great job on the trail guide..again. That's my backyard..practically. Glad you went left @ 6:28. Great job on showing the little hill @ 8:33 it's a great session for those that want to try semi steep chutes. GoPro didn't do it justice as it can a bit difficult for new riders..scarweey. Careful at 10:54 never assume the drivers can see you.
Thanks Darren - good to know. ✔️😉
Saw a couple things that I never knew were there! Going to go left off the trail out of the tunnel next time. I always went right. Thanks!
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Just watched this and thought the same thing! I usually hit most all of the ‘bonus’ lines he showed, but was unaware of that part after the tunnel. Just got my neighbor into mtb, gonna show him The Fullerton loop this weekend.
You gotta take a left after the Golf course tunnel to "Lost Trail" then make your way to "Panorama Trail" that leads to Panorama Nature Preserve. Not too thrilling but it adds some more climbing and the view is quite good. On clear enough days you can see the LA skyline. Great vids. appreciate the work, thanks man.
Solid advice. ✔️
For sure I'd refer to you as "Outsider" and I'm sure Piper would say that if he spoke human. Great second video of the Fullerton Loop. Hope I can do that ride someday. Thanks.
The Outsider says THANK YOU George. ;)
My go to trail with my 8 year old son...we just skip the hitcher trail and go straight to the train tracks on to the golf course. Unfortunately he is not confident yet to go on the outsiderville part of the trail. Awesome take as usual. 👍👍🤙🤙
Haha Outsiderville... i bet it’s great watching his progression - he’ll be up there in no time. Thanks for tuning in as always!
@@TheOutsiderMTB you bet it is...I tried to bribe him with ice cream last time but he was like "I'm good dad"...lol
👌🏼
Outsiderville is by my house. It’s my favorite section to practice recently.
Awesome that’s a nice section to session. 👊🏼
nice urban trail!
I love not living in SoCal anymore.....however, I miss the Loop dearly. I lived off State College & Bastanchury and so this was my back yard. I rode it mostly at night, usually 3 or 4 times a week. Bummed that the kickers in Hiltshire park seem to be gone. There was a series of 3 right as you dropped in from crossing Harbor (or is that Euclid?). Also, yeah as others have mentioned.....the epic golf course kickers. I hope you all are still enjoying it.
We are thanks for sharing JC.
I live close to the Fullerton loop. I’m 13 and I’ve been riding Since I was 7 when I first moved here from Texas
when I lived in long beach CA we used to ride Fullerton loop every Wednesday or Thursday night. it was a huge group usually started around 7pm or maybe 6. I left calif in 2007 not sure if thats still going. Even one year they did a 24 race on the course like 2005 ish not sure if that kept going either.
Would love to see your take on Turnbull Canyon! If you’re near Fullerton I’d imagine you make it up there quite a bit as well.
I used to ride Turnbull a lot. I did one vid there recently but had bike problems. I’ll be back soon!
Think I'm going to hit this in the morning
The Fullerton Loop?
@@TheOutsiderMTB yea, it's not too far from Downtown, either that or I'm going out towards Thousand Oaks somewhere...maybe Simi Valley
@@TheOutsiderMTB you riding anywhere tomorrow?
I stumbled upon a bunch of little kicker ramps someone built up in the dirt in the dam portion of the ride the last time I was out there. Looked like a little jump park. Take the first tunnel instead of the second after the golf course and you can't miss 'em there on the left.
I've seen those too! I think they are small and more for BMX, but would be awesome if they were built up a little bigger for mtbs. Thanks for watching!
Can we have a moment of silence for the dirt jumps behind the hospital?
Yes we can.
Shhh....that's a secret
Damn I miss the loop... Havent ridden it in years.... Im still rocking a 26" bike w/ 3x9 from 2004.... :(
Cuts thru some nice parks... I ride Oneill park, no close parks just the canyon...
How’s it going Outsider! LOL. We’re hitting this today with some of our peeps from out Tuesday Night Rider Group.
Have fun just did it yesterday!!!
@@TheOutsiderMTB I really wanted to go to the event but had to work
Always enjoy your videos, quick Question last time I was at the loop my only time we went clockwise , in your video It looks like you're going counter Clockwise which is Which is proper
Thanks for always tuning in! Nope I went clockwise as well. That's the best way to do it. 👌
Great job on everything you do here. Ever thought of showcasing Chino Hills State Park? In particular the Chino Hills side which is more fun than the Brea side.
Thanks and yup! Kinda waiting for the flowers to bloom but I bet it’s so green right now. Maybe I’ll head out there in the next few weeks. 😉
Chino Hills is my home trail system. Bane Ridge Singletrack has been my favorite after work for so many years, especially since I could ride from my front door. Now I live near the Santa Cruz Mountains and it was very cool to see you do Demo in addition to many trails back in my home area. Again really enjoying what you’re doing 👍
Love hearing that you’re enjoying the vids. You moved to another amazing place! Thanks for tuning in and the feedback Bryan! 👌
Nice
Thanks
Got me in trouble watching this. I was dipping my chips in water so I don't wake my gf up and you said air guitar piss and I got a laugh attack. Thank you for that and Shame on you for waking up my gf. Your voice reminds me of Martyleeds33.
Hahah this made my day. Wet chips? Amazing. Apologies to the gf!
@@TheOutsiderMTB love the content maybe I'll see you out there sometime. You probly see me riding with my jealous ass girlfriend nagging at me while I ride and I'm wearing her as a backpack cuz this girl doesn't let me download a brownload with the damn door closed and I can't brush my teeth without rubbing elbows with this girl. Sorry for the rant but I had to tell someone. I appreciate your videos.
Hahah - rant anytime this is great man. ✔️✔️
Great channel man - any beginner trails you can point me to in Aliso and Woods Canyon?
Thanks? Stay tuned for Monday’s vid. 👊
We have a lot of lakes in CA
Hi Outsider. I am going to travel down to to the O. C. to ride this trail. I've Been Watching all the videos you have and other riders. What is the best app to use to follow the loop. MTB Project seems to have a really good one. How long would you estimate it would take to ride the whole loop traveling at a. Modest pace and stopping to sight see for a Few. Minutes at the lake.
It’s seems like a lot of mikes but Ig goes fast. I do it in about an hour but for your first time maybe allow an extra hour for stopping. Mtb projects has the full loop. 👍
where should I park Outsider? Love your channel man
Courthouse. ✔️
Crafton Hills is the easiest ride for beginners, if you ride down to the school and take the paved road up to the reservoirs. It skips the single track and makes the ride extremely gradual and smooth.
Fullerton has a few sections that are too steep or rutted for a beginner
FYI-There are 3000 named lakes, reservoirs and dry lakes in the U.S. state of California.
I need to find some of those. 😉
There is actually a dirt jump park at 15:19 it’s a hidden gem nothing big but it’s fun
Rad I’ve seen that before.
Nice ride.. was this after the recent rain storm? I'm not from socal so not sure which trails handle rain the best. Do you know of any trails that might be dried up by now? I hate showing up after a long drive to find out it's closed.
This was before the storm, but most trails are all open as of today. Rode Santiago Oaks today and was all dry. You should be good to go! ✔️
@@TheOutsiderMTB So glad to hear that, thanks!
Is the hill going up to the downhill leading to Euclid called Heart Attack Hill?
Not sure but that sounds familiar.
I just finished the trail an hour ago and everything is almost dried up but its definitely rideable. I hit that jump at 14:21 and holy moly that lip sends you out there!!!
That jump has some pop for sure! That little stump helps. Glad you had a fun ride!
Dogie is just wondering why my Master is talking with Nobody to talk to haha
He should be used to it by now. 😉
The extra credit off Castlewood @6:28 is commonly referred to as "Blair Witch"
Thanks 👌🏼
Do I need a MTB bike for this? Or can I just go for it with a regular bike?
I'd suggest some type of suspension for the rocky bumpy bits.
Have you done the Panorama trail?
Sounds familiar. I’d say probably?
@@TheOutsiderMTB It could be considered an adjunct of the Fullerton Loop. Once you ride through the tunnels by the golf course you make a left. It's on MTB project, check it out and do a video please lol
I ate dirt on the section with multiple “sections”
Too much loose ground
Do you still hit the loops?
Yup it’s my closest ride. ✔️
can one ride a class 1 ebike here?
Yup.
do u take breaks ?
Most of the time I take a quick water break.
1st
Ride this every week .. lots of Easter eggs everywhere
😉👊
May have missed it but ever put some work in at bonelli.... with strong enough legs someone can lose themselves in there for a while... not hard to average 200ft of elevation climbed for every mile
I’m down the street. Let’s ride!
channel guys are too busy working and everyone wants to ride....viewers would have better luck trying to ride with one another
sub my channel and support me
Amar yep, but great free content for us riders
Why is your bike noisy AF?
It’s the hub. Do some googling. 😉
“Castle wood” is really called Blair witch
Look for the burn pit where kids go to act weird.
Haha good to know. 👊
