5:15 to 5:20 I was squeezing my phone to brake for him. Even i thought he was hitting that corner too hot. Lucky he didnt hit a car with the overshoot. Great video gents, thanks for sharing
This is nuts. I overcooked that same corner where they went off the road. Unfortunately for me there was a truck coming up and I skidded into the driver's door. Luckily I wasn't going nearly as fast as these dudes!
@@danoicarian5538 All it takes is one car pulling out of a driveway and these guys will have probably die. Look at 3:10, there is no way they could stop for a car at 43mph.
I would get off if my bike sounded like I was towing cans. 2 disk brake bikes neither have ever done this.Especially when he was accelerating. Surely he's not holding the brakes then.
I like roads like these to drive my cars and motorbikes on. Now this Bicycle stuff is the pinnacle of manliness I need some of this in my life. Excellent content sir.
Exactly why these Internet / UA-cam heroes should stop riding like maniacs on public roads. Others might think it's to do so and end up on somebody's windscreen.
They aren’t riding like maniacs & they aren’t trying to be “UA-cam heroes.” Do you go jump off buildings and mountains because freebase jumpers shoot videos, too?
Yes they are riding like maniacs. No sane road cyclist who is not racing on a closed (and clean) road should be descending like that, cornering at those speeds, unless they wish to end up in a wheelchair. Just imagine what would happen if there was a bit of sand, gravel or oil on the road surface in the apex of a corner they took at 50-60 km/h. Or, more easily, imagine what would happen if the car at 06:30 was indeed on the road at 05:17. You are supposed to ride safely on a public, open road, not endangering yourself, nor other people. You are not supposed to ride in a manner that ends up throwing you out of your lane and face the traffic coming from the other way. Funny as your parallel is, it is also flawed. I didn't say people who don't ride road bikes would ride like this once they saw these idiots riding like maniacs, I most obviously had in mind people who already ride road bikes. And it would be as if base jumpers jumped off buildings or cliffs that expose them to unnecessarily high dangers. As Niki Lauda said in the movie "Rush": _I accept that every time I get into my car, there's 20% chance I could die and I could live with it, but not one percent more! And today with the rain, the risk is more._
@@motowerkz3678 thank you, you are most kind. Could I interest you in some free English grammar courses, so as to make it up to you for your unmeasurable kindness?
Like you say, even the best can make mistakes. Still, life is short but no death wish here, just the thrill of a beautiful ride that challenges your soul. Just about every good rodie I know has pushed themselves a little beyond their skill level a few times and that includes me. That's how skill is developed. Thanks for the ride.
I keep coming back to watch these videos even though i feel like i get mini heart attacks each time i watch them. Keep up the awesome work and be careful :)
I just saw all your videos starting a few days back. SIMPLY AWESOME. Special credit to the cameraman. AMAZING. Using these videos with my spin bike and techno backing. Makes hairs on my back stand on end. Incredible. Thanks soooooooooooooooo much been looking for such inspirational videos for years!!!!!!
I just rode this today, first time cycling Malibu. On the way down I thought to myself, safa must have a video of this! Ended up being able to find your video, it's such a fun descent! I overshot the same exact turn you guys did, it tightens up really quick. This has got to be one of my most favorite roads I've ridden
Firstly thank You for this video. Mr. James should use the apex well, he didn't use good apex line, this is dangerous on high speed cornering. God bless You and Mr James.
JarekMa2 - You are right disc brakes will not make you a better bike rider. The ability to judge the maximum speed entering a curve is not dependent on what type of brakes you have.
I'm guessing the rims are flexing from the cornering forces and causing the rotors to move around a bit? Still seems like the right setup for that, aero bike with wider tire, his cornering speeds were impressive.
Rapha had a gran fondo here a few years back and the route came down Las Flores. I thought it was nuts to include that descent with a mixed bag of cyclists. Sure enough, a rider died when he overshot one of the hairpins and hit the barrier on the other side.
Is it a stupid request to ask for a power reading? It would be amazing to see how much effort they are putting after exiting a corner. Gran trabajo como siempre 👏
Very technical decent, but if you go through a blind corner and into the dirt it is a fail. When you can see through a corner or twisty, use the room if you’ve got it.
SAFA понимает русский язык? Или ему просто нравится кириллица? Или ему нравится, как и мне, что люди просто ставят посты на своем языке, хотя 99% публики их не будут понимать?
immediately check tires for thorns or any punctures after riding into the dirt and over pine needles like that (maybe you've got tubeless though?) Solid riding and always have my adrenaline pumping even when i'm in the dunny watching these videos! haha Makes me feel like I'm right there ripping down the descent with y'all!
Rim Brake fans are lovin this.
I STILL see no need for disc. and all the great riders that I ride with have older generation rim brakes with new carbon wheels.
disc is still the way to go, glad rim brakes are slowly being pushed out
@@alen-commentnazi8774 lol everyone has their preferences. I ride on mountains and stuff like that so I just use rim and it's also cheaper 🤷♂️

It's an evil corner. You can't judge it by eye going in because it tightens up and drops down so much in the second half. Glad you're ok.
I was really close to do the same thing for some reason i was able to steer at the last second i just let go of the brakes
You guys have balls I must say considering they are open roads. Hope you have life insurance :) LOL.
@@SAFABrian I just found this video after doing Las Flores this morning myself. Also got beat by this corner :)

@@monkeysrightpaw may weak 9mm speed lock. if i lock it to light, i get the same high because brake force slightly misaligned the wheel.
At 5:17 my heart dropped for a second.

Very good mona. Congratulations.
This route was beautiful, can only imagine what it was in person hitting those shaded turns!
If the car at 6.30 decided to pop around the corner at 5.17 it would have been game over... Lucky you!

These curves near by the rocks always give me chills. Great work boys.

I am even more convinced, I will never have disc brakes.
Rim brakes would not have stopped him in that missed turn.
@@stevenmeyer9674 ofc the v brakes would stop him you just need to know how to use that brakes
@@soundtester3991 Nope. That's incorrect. Disc brakes stopping power is superior to rim brakes. Specially at the last second.
love these videos. Thanks for taking me on these fun rides. Every time I watch these I start yelling "too fast! too fast!!!!."

Welcome aboard!
That Madone pure speed machine, another great video guys. Keep up the good work!
yea over 15k for an 18 lb bike lol
Great video that rubbing though. Froome discussed why he has relactance to disc brakes
Constant rub is one reason. Epic epic thanks for the thriller
To those that haven't ridden it, Las Flores is super tight and very steep. Oh, and James is the master descender.
one of the best downhill ever awesome
You're best run yet IMO , keep this vids coming !
Thanks!
nice ride ! good that i find this channel , will keep me motivate till spring .
Another awesome vid. Sooo sketchy running wide an off road. but we've all been there. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful trek madone 👌 as Always Nice video 👍👍
Used to live at the top of los Flores canyon until the fire burnt my house down .. good descent
Sorry to hear that. It's a good one but oh so dangerous.
Adrenalina pura ,guaooo ese descenso estuvo de 10...
5:17 woow 😱🤯 saludos desde Mexico🇲🇽
Firstly thank You for this video. Mr. James should use the apex well, he didn't use good apex line, this is dangerous on high speed cornering. God bless You and Mr James.
Brake sounds🤣🤣but beautyfullll view
really lovely tarmac on that road. I don't think I saw a single pothole.
They had repaved shortly before filming this. So nice!
5:17 Disk brakes didn't help 😜
The modulation gave them a controlled stop instead of locking out, losing control, and ultimately crashing
I think the rider did that ;)
JarekMa2 - You are right disc brakes will not make you a better bike rider. The ability to judge the maximum speed entering a curve is not dependent on what type of brakes you have.
Disc brakes better in every way ✌️
Not in that condition, he panics too when the corner was too tight then he chose to enter.
This man pushing the madone to its limits!! Loved the minimal in the prev video btw!
Nice View
That looks gnarly, even harder than Tuna Canyon. Are there any chill descents in Malibu?
the intro.. serial killers
Beautiful bike bro 😩😩🥵
Que buen video y como se ve el paisaje, me encantaria poder rodar ahí, falta un decenso en México.
I'm guessing the rims are flexing from the cornering forces and causing the rotors to move around a bit? Still seems like the right setup for that, aero bike with wider tire, his cornering speeds were impressive.
any reasons to keep hands on the hoods instead of the drops?
comfort I guess
I asked him one day cos I wondered the same. He's more aero in that position... Speed > everything else. 😅🚀
Wow theses are some narly turns !
🙈 thank God that big, white truck wasn't running 20 seconds later that morning 😣🚴🏻♂️
First 20 seconds was so scary
Ahhhhh, the disc breaks love em but the rub always happens
Another awesome ride... love it.

Nice stop there at 44km/h
Exelent 👍,,cycling forever...💗
Little break rub? Seriously mate? Lol
That bike is a nice toy!
Хорошие велосипеды и дороги у вас
но с тормозами явно что то не то)
What brand is the blue jersey ??
Rapha
Great video as always. Latigo when?
In the works. Rafael has the KOM so he gets the run.
So amazing 💪😊 shout out ser from the Philippines. Ride safe Lodi 😎
That brake throughout the video was frustrating
Now I wanna swap my mtb to a road bike.
what is the stopping distance at that speed?
It seems like Sardinia's hill streets!
Stop killing people. & do you think bitcoin is way overvalued?
I can't stop, sorry.
SAFA What Tires are you using wow man!
Is it a stupid request to ask for a power reading? It would be amazing to see how much effort they are putting after exiting a corner. Gran trabajo como siempre 👏
It's never stupid to ask nicely. Not everyone uses power, and it's more about the handling than the raw power. But maybe one day...
At 5:25, 30 miles an hour into a receding right hand turn. He's lucky there was no car coming the other way. Know your road people, know your road.
Brake rub and steel smashing down the hill
So what was wrong with the discs on that Madone??
Ratchet sounds like wheel isnt balanced. Am I wrong?
Отличный ролик!!!!
Incredible!
Fixed on a huge chainwheel
I assume you went all the way to PCH. Great video.
Them bike noises tho
A little brake rub, sounds like a steam train.
changed the intro song?
Yeah I got pinged for copyright
I believe an old friend of mine John Wike has the record on the next canyon over tuna canyon if memory serves correct
shawprescott nope. All records down Tuna belong to Safa, myself and James Cowan
C'mon boys, where's the Strava ride links?
gijimbo1337 read the video description
Like 3 fucking feet of snow right now in Montreal, Quebec. So depressing i even had to turn the trainer around so I can’t see outside
Turn the TV on and enjoy our Cali sun through the LEDs
7:13 i thought he'll crash on the hill. Lol.
awesome! まじすげえ！！
perfect
Nice player🤜🏼🤛🏼
dang id be too scared to go that fast
Que buen Intro 😁
grax!
Amazing beautiful very.
Well that’s one way to go through brakes fast. Does anybody smell that oh yea that’s just my brakes I just got back from shooting a video 😂
I hope that descent is at least 18 years old
Thomas Joseph I don’t get it
Braŭljo something about it being fresh and unused like a virgin but you want it to be at least 18 so as to avoid conviction
Those views
C'est jouer avec la vie ...ou la mort sur route ouverte 🙀🙀🙀🙀😳😳😳😳
Let me see u do it in the rain hahahaha !, great hill !
Not quite as much fun haha. But we do have to come down these descents in the rain sometimes. Looks a lot more boring then: grip first, fun second.
@@SAFABrian you should post one up , just so we can see you suffer , i must vid a few of my own runs
Nice vid. What kinda bike u have safa?

100% agree.
Not to make excuses but all I will say is you need to ride that particular corner for yourself. Its caught a lot of people out. 👹
gooooood~ :0
awesome!

Next time you leave the road, just take your time to check your bike/tire: guignol !!
Do it again and sort those rotors out
Omg, please be careful 🙏🏻
Fucking awesome 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
no mames se salio de la carretera a mi también me ha pasado XD , el descenso es todo un arte y tener huevos jajaja
🎨 🎭🥚
Awesome videos!
thanks!
Should put "Don't try this at home"
Épico!!
immediately check tires for thorns or any punctures after riding into the dirt and over pine needles like that (maybe you've got tubeless though?)
Solid riding and always have my adrenaline pumping even when i'm in the dunny watching these videos! haha Makes me feel like I'm right there ripping down the descent with y'all!
