- My Trip to Ride Santos & The Vortex in Ocala, FL
I got lost trying to find the trail head in reverse lol
This is also my very first UA-cam Video
Here are some facts about these trails
*80 plus miles of pure off-road riding bliss. Santos is the largest and best known mountain biking park in the Ocala, Florida area
*The trail system is on land that is part of the Cross Florida Greenway.
*The greenway was born out of the failed Cross Florida Barge Canal which was terminated in the late 60s.
*Santos is named for the small town where the main trailhead is located
*The majority of advanced riding is located around two abandoned mining pits. This area is Known as the vortex
Shout out to OMBA
*The trails are maintained by the Ocala Mountain Biking Association (OMBA)
Looking for a fun event
Every year the first week of March the OMBA hosts a Spring Break Fat Tire Festival that includes three days and two nights of music, food, riding and socializing
Amenities located at the trail head
The Santos Trailhead has restrooms, potable water, a bike wash rack, and several picnic pavilions for relaxing and telling stories of “the ride." There are also several bike shops located very close to the trailhead for needed supplies, repairs or refreshments.

On the E bike, you couldn't even clear those little table tops, money can't buy skills. bruh, but yeah Santos has some nice jump lines I like.
Never said I had skills….also was my first time mountain biking
Was that a corn planter thumb injury? Those hurt for years. Haven’t been to Santos on the MTB but many times up there on the paved trail great area up there.
I got one of those planter thumb injury and also broke 2 ribs lol. Now I’m nervous about hitting any wood berms
@@OverallMTB I just fell in a dry creek bed at Duette Preserve a few weeks ago and got tore up on the crushed shells. Just got a hard tail e MTB and too old to get too crazy but need to get out to Balm Boyette or somewhere to try some trails. Mainly got it for gravel and bike packing
Yeah this sport is so fun! You push the limits and get hurt. Shell rash :( Balm is awesome! Alafia is sweet. Florida has some awesome trails sets
@@kmccarr blam is awesome!!! needs a bit more rain..... pretty sandy in some parts... i do like how they put out the mats on really loose sand
I wiped out at that exact same spot on Sunday lol
Those wood features are like black ice lol
