PRAY FOR SPEED | The Descents: Montezuma Grade | Vandoit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2024
- Montezuma Valley Rd. aka Montezuma Grade aka the glass elevator is an iconic descent located in San Diego County on the edge of the Anza Borrego Desert. There is a 3500ft/1000m elevation difference between the top and bottom and going truly fast is wind dependent as this only averages at -6%.
We snuck in with a nice tailwind right before it became unsafe to ride due to gusts. I felt really lucky to make it in time as this turned out to be the fastest sustained run of any decent length I've done to date. I stayed off the brakes most of the way down and tried to squeeze every bit of speed out of this road.

This series has an Endless Summer vibe. So grateful you’re sharing this with us.
I really enjoy your films Brian, thank you mate. Trance like, meditative, somewhat insane 🎉
Not many downhills like this where I live but if there was, I’d like half of this guy’s confidence and fearlessness.
@Treez 93 There are many spots here where if it's me instead of him riding, there is a 100% chance of death. 52 mph around a blind curve where there's a sign saying 30 mph...
Montezuma Grade is highly underrated. Smooth pavement, great views, and steep enough to be a challenge but not so steep you get stressed out. I was taken by surprise when riding it for the first time, and I definitely want to ride it again both up and down!
Yea I’m going now
Yes he’s smooth, yes he’s cool… But man, the absolute fight to find a few more K out of every corner. Like $1 million contract was on the line. Beautiful
I didn't know what the KOM was, I wasn't aiming for a specific time. I was just enjoying the turning the afterburners on. haha
I've done this downhill many times, and can tell that this guy is NUTS!!! Good job man!!!
that was very nice of the bicycle to let the motorbike draft him
They gotta make this a sport. Downhill time trials or something. Like the formula one of road cycling. Huge congrats on this ride that was mega 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Forsure is not gonna be an uci event
There was a downhill TT in the giro last year I think
this guy must have some serious demons to be riding like this, love you Safa
@Treez 93 what I meant is that I think he have some internal struggles not solved to be riding that crazy. (Doesn't mean I don't lile what he does cus I respect his work)
more like being chased by demons
You make all pro cycling descents looks like nothing. That’s right world cycling, I said it and I love world tour cycling. You are a machine man. Insane speed, great terrain, views so nice. Everything beautiful
The speed at 8:10 is dangerous fast but the confidence with you managed to take the next corner stunned me.
Going 50+ mph, tucked and having the stones to look back over your shoulder... whew... that’s a #badassman 😎🙌🏽🍻
his stones add 4kmph to each descent
@@leslie7922 😆😆😆
13:55 what a wonderful place
Awesome (in the literal sense, not just figuratively). Well worthy of a Keanu 'Woah!' ...
9:06 checking back just to make sure the motorcycle is keeping up.
Been saving towards a new road bike, hope to have it on the road for this summer season. Live ride, ride to live
What brand
@@juniorking6810 , 61cm titanium lightspeed. With Ultegra 10 speed build kit.
I hope you’re able to continue to make videos likes this . May whatever higher power you choose to believe in keep you safe at all times . Keep killing it safa
My ears popped from watching this video.
Amazing road. I ride this road on my triumph and don’t hit these corners nearly as smooth! This man has balls of steel.
Absolute masterclass in descending! Watched every second 🚴🏾♂️🤟🏾🤟🏾
Didn't realize I could hold my breath that long. What an awesome ride!!!
Increíble Vídeo,Espectacular la forma en la que Conduce y el Profesionalismo del Ciclista sin Miedo a las Curvas! 10/10 y hermoso el Paisaje ;)
Iconic, to be sure. And just an amazing performance (and great camera work!)
Well, that was awesome, relaxing sound of wind and hub! Great job! 💪👍
Thanks a million SAFA, love these videos, 👍🍀🇮🇪👍
I literally said it out loud three times: "That was incredible. That was incredible! That was absolutely incredible!"
What a great edit, thanks for sharing Brian!
Montezuma’s revenge on you this day was not to be. That is to say. SAFA, you took it before it had any chance to do so. Well done. The eagle has soared. Peace.
Nice
Keep it up bro we want more like this from you. All the best bro and we all love you
From Germany n loving your stuff ♥️
Safa Brian, you’ve done it again! Epic views!!😳Chilling Corners!!
What ride and video this was . A real treat 🤟🏼
I drive on the Montezuma Grade several dozen times a year to photograph in the ABDSP and know every turn. It is pretty scary just driving. But riding a bike...whew! Great video, shows ever turn and curve of the road. Not sure if you start past Ranchita or close to where the MV road meets San Filipe Rd, west of Ranchita. Thanks for the visuals, great video again!
🚀🚲🚀 Amazing rocket tuck descent, well done guys!!!
What a ride, I can only dream of a descent like this anywhere near London
If you discover something lmk
There’s no where like this in England
@@smirkingdog6924 you got it!
@@ConnorNeedo hey hey hey, break my dreams slowly please haha
Man, what a run! Spectacular views and amazing talent on display here. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Cada que pienso en un deportista que concibe a la muerte como un limite mental, estas ahí, Safa estás fuera de este mundo y gracias por llevarnos a tu realidad.
Watching your descent videos make me nervous 😬 most of the time!
SAFA you are a true mad lad. Thank you for creating and sharing this series with us it’s always amazing seeing your content. Looking forward to more from you in the future!
Vittoria needs to sponsor my man for life
This is definitely my fav decent seems like your going down forever, you feel it in the beginning just pull you in. Your a boss SAFA for hitting those corners at the speeds you do! Its so beautiful out there but scary af too 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
These types of videos look too professional love it ❤️❤️
Blowing thru a stop sign is UNCOOL.
It is so awesome ! Hope everyone is wearing sunscreen 😎🏴☠️🚴🏾♀️🏔 rad
FLYING!!! On the ground...⚡️
Dude you are the fucking man! I live in Borrego and take the grade all the time. Good thing there was no barrel cactus or even worse a bighorn sheep there ready to get plowed!!! Congrats on an epic run!
Passes a 25mph sign going 50mph while in a super tuck 😎😂
wow! Esto es fuera de serie!!! safa que neumáticos usas para inclinarte de esa manera sin deslizar?
northwest of san antonio there's a short street that's crazy steep that i've hit 59 mph on a couple of times back in the late 90's on my '95 specialized epic pro.
i can't imagine maintaining the kind of speed illustrated in this video for such a duration.
absolutely amazing!
random examples of constants. sun comes up in the east. sun goes down in the west. eggs are fragile. Safa's fncking fast. etc.
probably would be a good idea to see if you can find at least a jersey thats made out of kevlar that's aerodynamic enough.
Amazing ride!
MY HEART WAS RACING AROUND THE CORNERS
SAAAAAAFFFFFAAAAA what a ride dude, thanks again for the entertainment
Glad you enjoyed it
what a ride! thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Cool shit. As a fresh road biker, i can not wait until i get home after 5 month and take my monthly sl6 emonda 21 pro to ride🙂 i got love in that sport
Looks like a mini game for GTA 6 😆 great work 🚴♂️
this video is amazing man!
Looks like an awesome ride. Good tarmac, flowy turns. I see from your gear how much you like the Addict, but I wonder what your speeds/time would be if you were doing this on the Foil.
ill never get tired watching these vids, as of my max speed of 79kph... i still suck
JFC, you're the God of descending. Terrifying stuff!
New to the sport coming from the fixed world this is so tight
Brilliant, thank you!
Such an epic ride
awesome video! love you, Safa!
conguratulations my friend..
for the 150k special we gotta see you in superman aero position bombing some cali mountain.
No gimmicks, just life and death.
Your riding inspired me my brother!
what a control wow
you're lovely Brian!
As someone who's suffered spinal cord damage from riding like this, I say in reply to his fear about his skin: "Your skin's contact with the pavement is the least you have to worry about."
was the max speed 87km/h?
sweet ride and spot!
if you look up supersonic in the dictionary, it reads: SCOTT Addict x SaFa ... the descent don-dada has tamed that which is UN-tameable. look to the mountains and you will see a blazing ball of fire. combusted from the loins of our leader, driven through the sheer will of man, prayers for speed were answered. this is no natural occurrence of mother nature. this is the spawn only the gods of speed could bequeath upon us. heroes don't wear capes my friends. heroes rebel and repeat. thank you safa, for shredding that which mortals fear.
Let there be speed!
The glass elevator !!
3:12 the driver saw superman passing by
The Glass Elevator
Ride safe 💪❣
Safa you a Beast Man!
like coltrane, insane!
Cara teus vídeos são muito inspirador para que curte bike, muito bom
Location is very similar than a Sardinian freeway!
Almost in the 90's. Maybe the mullet held you back. 😆 Great video man!
"POWERFULL TARMAC BLAZING AVATAR"
The prayers have been heard! Holy shit!
You did your job. I want to go ride now.
9:15, unreal!
does chase motorcycle carry Band-Aids😮?
badass as always
What’s your all time top speed?
Does the saddle not hurt with balls that big?
Safa on Victoria Corsa awesome
like a shaman on mescaline in a downhill dreamscape.
Now you're talking!
Speed thrills and speed kills
So odd, look at his RPM around 4:30. Flicking all over the place. Very nice ride!
Brutal!
Awesome man.
Safa, what kind of sunglasses are you wearing at :53???
Thes videos are DOPE !
awesome bike sir
just little bit of sadness when i see people has a bike😔 hoping my bike will standup again.. ride safe😇
where does the lav usually go?
Freakin beautiful day! What would be fun is if there were five or six of you dicing and drafting each other XGames style, I'm in!
Do one of these on Los Gatos in De Luz
