This is a masterpiece!! Been going through a similar design/build phase this past year so I can really appreciate what goes into making all of those decisions. What a house!
Nice pad! Working for a national residential architectural firm, you did and awesome job on the design. Your passion for architecture shows through what you had designed into you home. Best of luck with the future home and hope you enjoy the design process for the new home!
I too remember you showing us the build process, so very nice to see the finished product. Hard to imagine what could have compelled you to leave, but have to assume it is something significant. Temecula will miss you too. Thanks for showing, it is beautiful!
Well if the whole biking thing doesn’t work out, I feel like you already have a pretty dialed portfolio to do residential architecture/interior design. Place is sick!
Incredible pad bro, wishing you and yours the best of luck in your next chapter. We need more people like you in the sport. You’re a great ambassador and fast as fuck!
Aaron, I just saw you in Knoxville a couple of weeks ago. I also moved last August from Fresno, Ca to East Tennessee, about 50 miles south of Knoxville. Welcome to Tennessee.
My jaw kinda dropped when I saw the thumbnail and title. I did get have the impression that you’d meant to stay there forever. All the best for your move to TN!
The exodus from CA is quite real, it appears. Gwin is a native who has generally been quite complimentary of the area the few times I've seen him talking about it. And then, to build this show place of a house, only to almost immediately sell it, shows how bad things must be getting in recent years. Anyways, I've always been an east coaster and spent a lot of time MTB'ing in the southeast. It's a great area for so many different reasons. It will be much easier to build the life he's looking for down there. Best of luck!
Nothing to do with 'how bad' CA is getting. I feel like people who've never lived on the west coast love to have opinions on what it's like. The US DH mountain bike scene is just super strong on the east coast right now. There's good reason to want to surround yourself with the east coast DH community if you're interested in continuing your career.
@@downhillupside Perhaps. Gwin seems pretty coy about his reasons for moving - at least I haven't seen him comment on it much. But, it's important to note that Gwin literally just finished a custom-built piece of property that cost a fortune, and which he was stoked about (with good reason), and which he stated he planned to live there his whole life and raise a family. Under normal circumstances, you don't just uproot and leave that almost immediately after you're done with the build and the relative comparisons between the east and west coast DH scenes wouldn't ordinarily be good enough reason to do so. I could be wrong, but, based on this, combined with other little hints I've picked up on about Gwin over the years, I suspect he's in the "CA Exodus" crowd.
He’s definitely part of the exodus crowd. We also just sold our place and are escaping CA. It has become increasingly bad in every aspect (aside from the climate) just in the past few years alone. It’s like the politicians want you to leave. They’re making it so no one can afford or would want to live here. Just wait until the “leave CA” tax is implemented. They’ve been trying to pass that for years.
@@LanceLaspina Sounds like that will just incentivize people to leave before the "leave CA" tax is implemented. It's a real shame b/c, while there are certainly things you can't control, much of it looks to be a bit of a self-own like you suggest. In any case, best of luck with your move!
I often wonder if it was worth it for YT. They were a relatively unproven brand and Aaron put them on the #1 spot again and again and showed YTs could go as fast as any bike. They obviously paid Aaron a tonne of money and since then they don't sponsor too many athletes. Got to hope a lot of people went out and bought a Capra or a Jeffsy at least partly because of Aaron!
Wow, what an incredible home you were able to build and to know you did it was "mtb money" is awesome!! Good luck to you in Tennessee, I hope you can find what you're looking for there. BTW camera guy, it's okay to film the stuff he's talking about during the interview, you don't always have to be filming Aaron.
If that was your personal interior design view, huge respect dude! The house tour got me some strange feelings - enjoyment from the great architecture and dreams achieved, and sadness coz of the sale of man's dream land... All the best to you and your loveliness!
Really nice design. Appreciate the tour too. What is in TN? I'm leaving CA in 2-3 yrs due to everything we all don't like to talk about and head for a slower back to earth lifestyle in AR or MO.
@@Hilla085 Taxes, crime, politics, traffic, homelessness, corruption, tagging, overcrowding (3 families in one house and NO parking), lack of quality of life and core values, just to name a few. I'm in 3sm south of Disneyland. Been here all my life and it is rapidly getting worse. (well, you asked) And TN why?
@@appacana My city actually uses an underground aquifer managed by the city. It is pretty hard water but never stops flowing. Orange county is basically one huge shallow river. Prado dam, Irvine lake, and the Santa Ana river are the visible remains above ground.
Dang bro that’s a beautiful home! I wish I could buy it. Good luck to you in Tennessee! Good job escaping California just waiting for my turn to leave!
@@GKVideography well it’s the highest tax rate in the whole union. Most expensive place to live in the union, gas prices are the highest. The politician’s are running it into the ground and the people here don’t see it. I am working on getting out in a couple years due to personal reasons. It’s a great place to live other then the political climate and taxes. It’s border line communist if you want my honest opinion. But hey come check it out for yourself.
@@heyguyoffroad Guess you don't understand what communist actually means, smh. If California were its own country it would have the 5th largest economy in the world. It's far from perfect and has a lot of problems but also drives the American economy.
Love the tour, its great to see what skill and motivation gets ya! Wish I could tell your dang videographer to film what you where talking about though! Like the pipe on the CB... And some of the features. Thanks again for sharing though!
A territorial view is priceless… esp. one from the master bedroom! I’m sure it was sad to see it go, but it’s cool that you two will be able to build/ design your next home together.
This house is right down the street from me. I drive by it all the time and am in love with it. Wish I had known it was for sale 😢. Who did you use to design the home and landscaping???? It’s perfection in my opinion 🙌
There was nothing more I longed for than to witness Aaron come out the start gate one more time absolutely flying and take the win by 3 seconds.....but now all I want is a washing machine and tumble dryer in my dresser
I appreciate you sharing your house now that you are moving, while at the same time keeping it private while you lived there. I am starting to do the same thing now that I’m moving East near you, showing off my house to people I wouldn’t usually invite over. Maybe I’ll run into you biking out East like I saw you at greer. Please share some of the good trails in Tennessee and the surrounding states so I can find some prime DH spots!
Hey Aaron. Thanks for showing us around. Always been curious how your home would look like, since i saw Rob Warner visiting you when the build was still in progress. This is absolutely amazing. I think it's one thing to build such a house, but it's another thing to sell it and separate yourself from such a great piece of materialistic art and move on in life. Huge respect for that decision.
You have a great eye for design Aaron. Also, it looks like you built your place literally next door to my aunt and uncle’s (former) place up there in La Cresta. Beautiful area, kinda miss visiting that place. Good luck In Tennessee!
I remember watching the process of the house being built through your videos. That's one very beautiful house Gwin. So glad that everything is working out for ya. I'm sure when you move to Tennessee, you'll be able to invest in another home maybe even bigger than this one. Good luck to you and GodBless you and your family.
beautiful house and view and for sure I would really miss the garage but you deserve it man you've always worked hard and pushed your self to the limit and if I dare sayso you have a touch of OCD But in a good way that house has a place for everything and I love that I wonder what the new house is like😊
But u just built it? And it's awesome!!! How could you have the heart to sell such a beautiful place? lol Love the videos keep up the good work. Good luck on this years race season!
Holy F*ck. How many millions of dollars do you make Mountain Biking? I made the wrong choices in my life. One of the coolest, nicest houses I've seen. You can retire and start designing houses for sure. You deserve for winning a championship with no chain. Great job my man.
interesting he's near Intense there inTemecula, lives in Murrieta/ La Cresta near Ricky Johnson. -wonder if he's not needing to be nearby anymore for R & D stuff for the team? switching teams?
I like the interior design but not the outside. Regardless, this video is a message to young talented riders that if you can ride bikes fast enough then you'll be able to build a house big enough!
Thank you. I am 48 and a structural designer and have followed your progress since the bmx and knocked out teeth period, the next womder kid. You did tear the DH championship a new one and I am glad to see you got paid handsomely. Awesome 👌
Such a RADDD PADDD Mann!! Why would you sell and move though? lol... I mean you built it on your dreams, and all, but I'm assuming Tenessee has something for you and the family in better terms?? Anyways, Congratulations and now I won't be running into you at Snow Summit Bike Park or the local So-Cal Trails anymore.... ;) Take Care Aaron!
A good friend who lives close to you is also moving to Tennessee at the moment and I’m moving to Montana next month. Have you done a video yet on why you’re making the move? There are certainly some common reasons I share with people I know who are leaving CA - I’m curious if you're leaving for similar reasons. . . (Also, thanks again for the GoPro!)
Its cuts his work commute to Europe nearly in half. Weather conditions on the east coast more in line with World Cup reality - potentially good for training? He likes playing the guitar and its kinda the birthplace of rock'n'roll... There are countless reasons to move, details decide where to.
I don’t know if you look at these comments, Aaron, but if you do, I have to address the elephant in the room, and of course to pose the question, why? I know I have no right to ask anything personal and I totally understand if you don’t address the question, but one has to wonder, why? Nothing against Tennessee, and God knows I wish you the very best you deserve it, but what is a top world downhill champion doing moving to Tennessee? I know California has issues, and nothing against Tennessee once again, but you just belong in California and that property is simply incredible! So once again I pose the question, why?

He will be able to buy entire mountain
@@bontrager1 *state
the equity should let you buy at least 1/2 of Tennessee
I think its good that You kept it private before! Thanks for showing this now. Thats a beautiful Home!
Yup, totally get that too. As much as I would’ve liked to see the finished house, it’s a private home afterall.
I live right by you sort of..... Its definately time to dip out.... CA is "circling the drain"......
This is a masterpiece!! Been going through a similar design/build phase this past year so I can really appreciate what goes into making all of those decisions. What a house!

Wow dude. Just wow. So stoked and bummed for you at the same time to have and be leaving to art piece. Hats off for to you for such a vision
Well if the whole biking thing doesn’t work out, I feel like you already have a pretty dialed portfolio to do residential architecture/interior design. Place is sick!
I hope the next chapter will be as great if not greater than this one. Cheers and thanks for what you brought to the sport.
Incredible pad bro, wishing you and yours the best of luck in your next chapter. We need more people like you in the sport. You’re a great ambassador and fast as fuck!
I remember the first house tour video. You love that house. I can’t believe you’re moving!
Aaron, I just saw you in Knoxville a couple of weeks ago. I also moved last August from Fresno, Ca to East Tennessee, about 50 miles south of Knoxville. Welcome to Tennessee.
Congrats Aaron and good luck in Tennessee!
Beautiful build, hope you find something equally stunning in your next home state.
I noticed the ceilings right away. You did a great job on the place. Sad I won’t be seeing you driving around town anymore. 🤙🏼
My jaw kinda dropped when I saw the thumbnail and title. I did get have the impression that you’d meant to stay there forever. All the best for your move to TN!

Welcome to TN! Saw you already found Wilkins Branch! 🤘🏼
Beautiful place!! Only problem is... it was just too far from Windrock!! Lol. Glad you are in Tennessee!!
Such a sick house! Congrats on your success. You have changed pay scales for all pro mountain bikers.
not really, aaron was still way above everyone, not alot has changed for the rest.

so sick .
Those luxury contemporary houses are great for vacation, but they're a bit too "cold" for living, they don't have that warm home feeling.

Damn it must have been a hard decision to leave this place. Best of luck with the move.
Holy crap dude, you made my eyes watering with that house.
It is by far the most badass house I have ever seen!!! 🔥💣

Windrock.
No income tax in Tennesse and cost of living in cheaper. That could be two reasons why he’s moving.
