Sage Trail Alliance is doing some amazing work in Santa Barbara. Project Manager Dave Bennet has been working with his professional trail crew to bring old trails back to life AND start on a couple new ones. Mountain bike access was almost lost on these trails due to conflicts between hikers and riders, but the use of bells on bikes has calmed things down.

Dave is the real deal, great guy and great mountain bikers, he can pedal for days. Arroyo Burro and Matias are such nice trails.
I have a Timber Bell and just spent a week in Sedona...can't tell you how many hikers/walkers either thanked me or told me how much they like the bell (heads-up) I get the same thing at home. Such a simple little thing can make a huge difference. I like the Timber because you can turn it off as needed. Thanks Brian for all the great content...loved watching you ride our local trails like Vietnam...need to get you to the North Shore (30 min from Boston)
Blows my mind how anti mtb people are in California of all places… the birthplace of the sport! I live in WNC and I must say, hikers and bikers seem to get along pretty well. And we have no shortage of hikers sharing trails with shredders!
Try Sedona
Same, Maryland/ East coast rider here and seeing how hard they come down on MTB out west blows my mind.
Right? I'm in NC and mixed use trails are kinda the norm here, from Pisgah to my area's XC trails. MTB is generally looked at as a positive here, and I find it strange that the laid-back West has issues.
@@_drawkward_ I ride often in NC the culture there is amazing for mtb!
@@splooshmtb Brevard. Black Mountain. Fire Mountain. Dupont. Kanuga. And that's just the Asheville area.
Nice! Yes, I live in Italy and I’ve tried to start the bell trend here too. All trails are shared with hikers, and they love it. The bell has saved me and them at least 20 times in the last year. Totally encourage everyone to get a passive bell.
Paradise for riding in that state
I live I UK, some great places to ride, however, I'm so envious of your riding locations. The sun is always shining, you wear shorts and t-shirts mostly.
Great videos ☮️☯️
❤️❤️ another 20 minutes of fun
Also shout out to Lone Wolf Suspension as seen on the pink shirts. Great service, for me has been quick, and if you look on strava, quick as heck rider too!
Pretty awesome area and trails. Finishing with the habit is icing on the cake.
If you want to knock out the sounds of the bells, you can probably use an equalizer in your video editing software to pinpoint the frequency and remove most of it. It shouldn't affect the overall quality of your audio. Great videos as always! :)
Why?
Brian for Mountain bike president,if there's even such a thing! good job mate! keep those trails goin'!
Thank you SAGE! Matias and Arroyo Burro are such good trails!
Building trials is literally what I wanna do for a career
I’m getting good cardio workout just watching your video, keep it coming Brian👍
Glad to see you got this trail - my local favorite! The bells are a great system - please use them if you ride in SB. I've only had good experiences with local hikers, even on busy trails. The only problems I've seen are inconsiderate riders blasting too fast past people - thankfully a rare occurrence.
BTW, SB is a great area for a light Ebike. Lots of climbs on fire roads with great views, like this one.
My wife and I are moving to California I'm a few months. I am SO pumped to get into all this amazing California riding!
Habit is a solid burger!!!
Lmao that'll be a mistake. People are fleeing the state
@@dadlife8289 cool.
Great video I really appreciate the update on the Gibraltar mine trail. That was always the weak link when trying to do any kind of a loop in the back country. It was almost dangerous before.
Speaking about 2008 was head of conflict between hiker biker, I would never Forget Halloween 2008 in Santa Barbara. I paid a Fraternity to park at their house and road my bike to my cousins house in the college community it was the last time they ever had 50,000 people walking in the streets for Halloween in Santa Barbara. Now I am a Mountain Biker by Greer Ranch and Vail Lake in Riverside County.
Welcome to the ‘loose’ trails of S.B. They only get looser as we head into summer! Tires don’t last long here.
Thanks for sharing this! I’m going to be camping within walking distance from those trails in about a month…looking forward to riding them!
SAGE is the Best! Thanks guys! #bells4life
Yay and someone said you already did this trail lol. Arroyo Burro (both frontside and backside) are my personal Favorites :)
That frontside climb though...ugh. Otherwise probably one of the better trails to learn more advanced techniques on.
circular rainbow at 13:54. so rad
So much for the water shortage in S.B, Great ride B. I hope that you went to the Habit on Hollister Ave. that's the original, big difference !!
Love seeing that "shop" pay icon 🤙🤘
Your videos are awesome I hope to be at that level some day. I use to BMX alot when I was young. But later down the line some things happened and I got evolved methamphetamine. And now am clean and using Mtn biking to help and replace it. Keep the great content coming.
That looked sick!
You should check out trespass trail mates is so fun one of the favorites but short.
Muy bueno!! From Puerto Rico
Really look forward to your uploads. Hitting Snowdonia (Rangers path & The Beast) at the end of the month and the vids of your trip a few years back are great prep 👍
Now that I am living in SW Washington, the closest Habit is in Boise Idaho, 454 miles away; a long drive for my favorite burger, the Teriyaki Charburger. When I fly down to Las Vegas to visit my son, the Habit is our first stop. BTW, I didn't hear any of those bells you were talking about.
Brian, what would you recommend as a GREAT entry FS bike that wont break the bank (Ibis out out of range for now)? Im super new to MTB. I currently have a Trek Marlin 7 HT. Its good but im ready to add a good full sus
always wondered about the bike condition after these bumpy jarring rock scraping rides, and then wondered - do you guys keep the same bike for a long time or trade up shortly after all the carnage?
Hey Brian. Great videos. Would love to hear your thoughts between the M and L Ripmos. I'm sure a bunch of us (including me) is somewhere between M and L sizing, and it would be great to get a perspective of someone who has ridden the same bike in both sizes substantially. I'm fairly happy on a medium XC bike, but I also got a medium trail bike which has more aggressive geo and it does feel tight when cornering seated (I figure it's something with the shorter head tube length and wider bars). It's hard to really get a good feel for sizing in a test ride, especially when you are trying to adjust to modern geometry, so keen for some others thoughts :)
For that first crossing that you did if it wasn't too muddy or to slimy to where you wouldn't sink
You could have rode right across that I know I could have
Definitely a beautiful ride
Another awesome video beautiful blue skies and I'm pretty sure that you could have just rode right across that little piece of water that was only knee high
Can you remind me the satellite messenger service you use? I know you've mentioned it in the past. Thanks for the great content!
Amazing that such a simple solution to shared trail use is a bell. Decades of lobbying got mtbers nowhere, but the bell was a paradigm shift. lol
Lmao had trouble keeping up with Dave the first time I rode with him too.
Next time you are in SB, drop us an email, Brixton would love to have a bite to eat with you! SB trails are no joke. Seriously fun!
Good ride. How many miles do you ride in a week and how often do you replace tires.
You liking the medium more than the large?
Awesome ! You where riding in my hood ! Shit loads of fun right ?
Hi! This bike an Evil Wrekoning?
Are these trails ebike friendly? I recently was found to have Marfans syndrome and have to be very cautious of my heart rate. I got an ebike (specialized Levo) it’s the only way I’m able to mountain bike still, but most trails do not allow it. I don’t want to upset anyone, but also would love to try trails like these. If anyone has advice I’d appreciate it
ebike access is a cluster right now. Every land manager had a different rule. In general ebikes (pedal assist) are allowed where normal bikes are in California. But, each land manager also makes there own rules. And it's not always posted. I don't recall seeing any signs one way or the other when I rode this trail.
No E bikes are allowed on most of the designated Santa Barbara Single Tracks as far as I know. The fire roads leading up to most of these trails do allow e bikes though. I still see E bikes on some trails but they don't get much love from local riders. Some of the E riders I have encountered are apolagetic or try to be cool and usually give non e bikers the right of way. Kinda of a self policed rule out here.
Why should'nt e bikes not be allowed on those trails? Seems odd to me as a European.
@@patrickh4540 ebike access is a cluster in the US.
You can 100% ride ebikes on any trail in Santa Barbara
I like how the pink shirts must throw people off a bit, a great mind control trick to calm down hikers,no ones running you down today! Peace ☮️
i used to live in santa barbara
Why does hiker biker conflict only exist beyond the trails? Because I’ve never run into issues with folks out there! But I always go early or late avoiding the crowds .
I did wonder about taking an e-bike through the creek. I wouldn't want to put a e-bike on my back and carry it through the creek.
Oh man I miss The Habit.
Santa Barbara's
Always
Gnarlier,
Eh?
🤪
Muy bueno
Please do tunnel in sb
You have to have skills and work hard on these roads but never as much in the car as I do to go home to a road where the asphalt hasn't been used since time immemorial.
I'm getting a white helmet,, 😁
liked.
But no pink shirt,, unless I'm in San Francisco
I’m sure your helmet also looks like a white tail deer running away…
e-bike territory
The hikers can wear bells so the riders know they are there. Idk what it is like elsewhere but riders are the only ones that ever do any trail work. Hikers are freeloaders. It would be hilarious to ban bikes here. A season later the trail is overgrown to unusable and the hikers are yelling at the park.
It's like they everywhere. Bikers do trail work. All other user groups profit. Bikers get banned.
First
Bells are dorky.
Comment so you get paid.
Bells are good, the bell tyrants though can keep on kicking and screaming. "BELL! BELL??" is no way to speak to an adult. Anyone have people do this or is it only in laguna beach CA?
ITS ALL THE RITCH PEOPLE COMPLAINING THINK THEY OWN EVERYTHING
I disagree baseball isn't a lifetime sport
Stop trying to make bells happen.
Bells are the best on multi use trails. Gives most hikers a warning and they'll give riders ample room to pass. Don't like having a bell jingle on the climb? Then get a timber bell.
I'll never understand why some people absolutely refuse to use a bell when riding popular multi use trails.
Get over it - ensuring trail access is always a good thing. It's a small sacrifice but well worth the good stewardship with the general public. Anything that promotes the hobby in a positive light typically leads to expanded access.
Bells are great though. Instead of conflict you get to stay stoked cause all the hikers are friendly cause of the bell. If you come to santa barbara, use a bell
@@michaelkroleski I don't understand why people ride shared usage trails...aren't there enough MTB only trails out there?
@@meganNefarious There is not a single mtb-exclusive trail in santa barbara. They are all multi-use.
Maybe the bells let you not hear your bike creaks 😬😬
Great to see that his channel gets better. 3 months ago i stop watching because the videos are very boring imo. The last Videos are great
