I’d ride my bike so much more if I had roads like that in the u.k. epic.
Hahaha I love the quality of sound you have there, pure ASMR with the click of the pedals and the wheel sound
Absolutely love Painted Cave and OSM. Great to see you riding the local roads.
What a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing
Los angeles crest red box to bottom.- long down fast twisty downhill.
Cooks corner (eltoro)top of hill to santiago entrance.- twisty down hill(tree tunnel). Just to name a couple.
Lots if insane downhills roads in SoCal.
Keep it up Safa. Insane skill on the bike. Image quality and level of stabilisation is perfect!
Thanks!
Santa Barbara, I remember such a series, for more than two thousand episodes.
Love the ambient sound. Love the light. Love that you only have basic speed overlaid. It's joy, experience, immersion. I watch your vidoes on a side screen at work to know that there's so much more out there. Thanks for creating.
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for this @Safa. Behind the scenes is always interesting, and the work that goes into your videos is much appreciated!
My pleasure!
awesome work. nice to see what goes into getting the final vid. scouting roads etc.
Awsome descent, best from Poland.
Check out the Figueroa MT climb in Solvang, sick videos!
A big Thank from France. Take care of you !
Excellent work. Nice quality and sound. Very big thanks for no "music"!
I am pretty damn stoked on what you're doing, keep on keeping on. I really enjoyed the behind the scenes video. Thanks for posting! Come out to Colorado, there are some good mountains to bomb here.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Man, I'd love to head to Colorado! Baby steps for now but I dream of all the big mountain descents ;)
Thanks for doing this. I'm bikepacking down to California for the descents and you're showing me all the places where I should go. I'll find a place to stash my gear and give this one a ride.
Glendora mountain road is a must descend! Here in Glendora, Southern California. They close the road to motorists from around December to July, Something like that. Few miles of descent with an average of -6% grade but you can keep 35-40mph easily the entire ride down. Bit of a bitch to climb but worth the ride down. Up in the San Bernardino mountains are s ton of descents but just to get there, Gotta climb 7000ft then another couple thousand for the really good ones!
I'm DEF stoked on what you're doing! You should check out the apple orchards in Temecula/OC: Rainbow Valley Rd > Rice Canyon Rd > Couser Canyon Rd
Glad you're enjoying our beautiful town ☺️
Don't forget to check out Gibraltar as well.
Planned to do it that day but didn't have enough time and the temps were getting up high!
*!!Maestro SAFA ahora no traía casco heee!!* 👍🏾👍🏽👍🏻
It shows how much work you put in Safa. Audio sounds pretty good to me.
Came across your videos, I see a lot of riders in hope ranch in Santa Barbara. Enjoy!
Nice one brother! Keep up the amazing work, appreciate all the hardwork you have put in. Agree, be different from the regular boring Froome cycling ethos. Youre definitely the Sagan like entertaining breakthrough. Will definitely need to make my way to these beautiful LA Hills. If you ever come to SF , HMU!
Nice video keep up the good work! Please give us some tips on descending.
Am I the only one watching this high AF. I mean, this is such a great trip, scary in some tight turns. Love your channel!
👽. I should make more of these
I also don't like that most road cyclist are only and seriously only talking about climbs and climbs and even more climbs. But sometimes also about a handful of climbs... No matter if it's the local club and it's riders, or road cycling channels like GCN, or if you look at pro racing TV coverage. I strongly belive that epic descents should get just as much attention.
Right!? It's all climbs, training, watts, etc.
I'm guessing they're trying to not promote dangerous aspects of the sport but that's just silly. What happens when you get to the top of a climb? You walk done or call your mom? haha
It's a major part of cycling and many races are won or lost on a descent. And the less they talk about and show descents the more dangerous it becomes because no one knows what they're doing when it's there time to drop in.
@@SAFABrianOr they just grab the brakes firmly and slowly descend down and they always make sure that their climbing time is faster than their descending time. :D Me as a road cycling & extreme sport lover it sorta bothers me that most cyclists and even many non-cyclists consider mountain bikers the "big ball-cyclists" and roadies as a... "hmmm... okay, they also perhaps seldomly take some insignificant risks". I am absolutley not against mountaing biking, I am actually looking forward to buy a MTB, but I think it's time for road cycling to try to keep up too with being extreme, formidable and hair raising! I could imagine national cycling associations organising road races (on closed roads of course, not only because of other road user's safety but also because then racers could use the whole width of the road and would go down even a lot faster) on circa 10-15 mile long circuits that they specifically desing around a formidable descent and try to put the start/finish line as close to the bottom of the descent as it's possible so then the descending skills would play a truly great role. Those races wouls also fulfill the diehard climbers' wishes of course.
A great video!
Really enjoying the videos! Awesome riding as always.
The behind the scenes stuff is great. Would love to see you do a decent w/ some commentary over it...something like terry's wheel talk.
Keep up the good work!
All the descent vids have the riders mic'd up. It's not really the best time to be having a coffee chat either haha. Haven't figured out the two way comms yet and can't commit any more resources at this stage.
I know of some BADASS descents I used to bomb on my skateboard back in the days when I was growing up in Southern California, Big Bear. Fast, Twisty, And just sketchy enough to give you the thrill factor with a touch of death lurking haha! I’d love to tour those wicked descents with you and a crew! Ever since I was a kid I remember thinking how much faster I could go down them on a road bike than my skateboard. If you’re interested, Let me know and I can message you via DM or something. Cheers, Man! 🍻
Love your videos and descents ! They scare the shit out of me ! I am pretty new to cycling ..about 2 years ..I’m a roadie and loving it . Got the Scott Addict because of your review but I also can’t stand all the rules and gadgets of roadies and the arrogance . I hate rules . For instance I still ride on flat pedals and gravel shoes for the road . I also wear padded shorts and not bib shorts . I get a lot of shit for both but don’t care . I’m up to 55 miles and looking forward to my first century . In my spare time I watch your videos lol
Hope you are still having a blast! I also run flat pedals and gravel shoes - screw what people think. I've even got a small mirror fitted, and it's so damn useful, I see things others miss and it makes me ride faster and safer.
Do whatever you want as long as you ride to return and enjoy your own limits. 👍🏻👍🏻
Super impressed, love descending, making me want to move. But seriously NO HELMET, WOW.
Camera is on the helmet! haha
That a nice road were at in Santa Barbara....I'm not too far away from there ...I want to ride that road
Keep the vids and KOMs coming Safa !
👊 U got it
I wish we have a road like that safa 😊 From phillippines cebuu!
Loving this series 👍
I live in Sunny Santa Barbara, downtown, (Laguna St and Donze) and loveeeee to rocket up and back down Gibraltor. Easily one of the sickest descents ever. (Think my top sickest was in Haiti - summit to sea, beyond sketchy.) Come back, but make sure you climb Gibraltor before dropping down it, so you know it. Ride it earlyyyyy to avoid cars and also door-knob riders who climb and wander to the wrong side of the road in a tight corner because they are overcooked. Almost ate a few of them, and now yell on the descent at upcoming corners, just in case. "Rider Rider!" Past that, SB is magical. Check out Sabah Borneo, where I also live, if you want sick and totally 100% empty descents. -AB
Word. Thanks for the heads up!
Great! Come to Colombia parcero!!! 💪🏽 🚲 🔥 🇨🇴
Keep them coming & be safe ;)
(Video & audio quality is spot on)
3:35 wtf ahahahahah that was rollercoaster turn ?
Hey are these automatically-generated captions? If so, I'm impressed.
And nice riding + camera work as always:)
Sick video !
Welcome to SB, many drivers never are aware of bikers. But little insider info, whether you are a fan or not Lance Armstrong would bike Old SM every time he biked the Tour De France. He said Old SM had great switch backs to train on. PS, you passed my house! Also I think you could highly benefit from this for your future videos: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1437236-REG/insta360_222178_one_x_camera.html
I have a Rylo but need to repair the lenses. 360 cameras can't give the level of quality I'm looking for in my main videos but are something I like to play with.
@@SAFABrian Oooh I am not sure man, the new one can record up to 4k quality video. (Up to 5.7K30 360 Video, up to 120 Mb/s) I highly suggest looking back into them.
Keep doing your thing because plenty of people dig it
Wow great video🤙🤙🤙
good shit
Since you are in SB. You should check out Toro Canyon. There is a big climb, But the decent is awesome. I would use allo wheels. I've burned through 2 sets of carbon on that decent
Sounds wild. I was just there for the day but I'll be back.
@@SAFABrian The first time I was there. All the guys was talking to at the top said to me " you must be good descender since you are about to go down on carbon wheels." I should have had alarm bells going off in my head. Soon I understood that comment
@@elnicho1 😅 sounds epic
thanks for all your hard work bro.
maan i love descending and i love what you do keep it up... in the meantime ill try to learn that video editing and also try to pop some descends from past that's still lying somewhere around gopro. btw what camera did you used to film this? 360?
Gopro and a gimbal
Great roads (wish it was like that in Florida) and great video but also please wear a helmet sir even though you have the skillzzzz
Camera is on the helmet 😅
SAFA Brian hahaha 🤦♂️🤦♂️ should have know , keep up the great work much appreciated videos
Ay I live in Santa Barbara haha
красавелла!)
para béns muinto top amigão
Que lindo loco
Hill seem sketchy stay safe bro
Mostro Sagrado
Wow! Another great video!! Please don`t give a shit to haters...keep up with the pretty good job you do and just forget about them...and yeah, skate people for sure will love your videos...skate just thrive and survive because of the comunity strenght the sport have...but it is it`s history...years of beeing criminalized by midia....cycling is different, maybe you gonna find more strong circles looking right at those nichos with some sort of same skate mindset....mtb people, bmx people, freeride people....road cycling?hmmmm.... i doubt.... :D
What's your jersey? 🤩
Deluxe Cycles!

СУПЕР 👍🚴🏼♀️🇷🇺
Are you planning to compete ?
And make a video :D
It's a freeride event. So it's more for fun and some prizes for the fastest timed runs, it's not head to head as far as I know. And no plans to compete. Its for skaters, I just wanna film.
@@SAFABrian We are waiting for new movies and new speed records ;)
your bike chain freewheeling is super loud
It's the hub freewheeling, and thank you 😁🙃
Death wish.
