65 MPH through the desert 

Props to the cameraman running fast enough to catch up with him

The combination of time of day, weather, landscape, music, camerawork and video processing makes this a bloody piece of art. What a way to start the day too.

it's weird how doing 65 in a car is like nothing, boring day to day commute, but 65 on a bike is heavenly

Recovering from my 3rd knee surgery in the past year. Ill never ride like that again due to some unforseen circumstances throughout this process that has left me pretty disabled. Your video brought me back to the time I did a palm springs 100mile ride that took us deep in the desert. Wasn't too hilly, but def had a calmness to the ride. There was a point where my buddy and I were deep into the zone. He would lead, then I would. We stretched like that for miles. No talking, no gestures, no nothing. Just the road and our grit. Thank you for sharing such an amazing ride. I miss my bike. I miss my life prior to my injuries. I miss it all. Don't take your health and body for granted.

Give this man a speeding ticket and a medal.

Watching this is like I'm dreaming. The sights, the sounds, the speed...total bliss

Doing those big turns at 60mph is insane. For me it's scary to turn at like 25.

The sheer scale of this valley blows me away, the sense of depth and parallax. North America is blessed with some of the greatest landscapes in the world.

It took me 3 1/2 hours to climb that hill during the Badwater 135. Seeing him do it in reverse that fast is incredible. For those that don't know, it's 13 miles with a vertical mile of different between the bottom and the top of that road.

I remember the first time I went 55 on my bike. My only thought was, "if I wipe out, it's not going to matter so just enjoy it and relax." Needless to say, I was scared to even tap the brake. Beautiful video.

The amount of trust he has in his equipment going down that hill and around those corners.

as a photographer, I have to say that the photography in this is jaw dropping and I don't know how you can do it.

There's something that feels special about reaching that speed on a bicycle. Even when you ride a motorcycle, it doesn't feel the same...

The road is amazing. No pot holes.

kudos to that cyclist (3:20) who rode a long way to the top This has to be one of my all time favourites. The setting, the speed, the music. just perfect .

Nothing better than an early morning rid3 with the sun coming up.

This is literally one of the best cycling vids I have ever seen. Everything from the scenery, to the speed, to the music, it's perfection.

Best of the best, instantly one of my favorites man. Love the rolling fly-by start Love the soundtrack choice Love the colors Love that shot at 8:00, wallpaper quality Usually more into your training ride videos but this was ART, and I'm glad it exists.

Watching a very fast ride gives me goosebumps all over my whole body. And I felt like I was on another planet because it was a landscape that I had never seen before.

Its incredible how fast modern racing bikes can be ridden ! I owned a Klein Adroit XTR back in the mid nineties and the fastest I ever rode it was 45 MPH .

Pure gold! This channel is therapy for me. The vibe, speed, scenery and production quality win me over every time. Also, the Eastern Sierra and desert region including Death Valley is one of my favourite places in the world - beautiful and otherworldly.

Heaven on Earth. Wonderful shots. Amazing ambient sounds. Perfect.

Love the scenery, and that silky smooth road.

SAFA is like the long lost friend to me who you're never gonna meet, but always staying in contact with somehow from time to time, embodying all or alot of them wishes, dreams, passion which i'm striving for. love that whole style of urs and ur videos and the feels it's giving me. what you do is signature because you're just being you. THAT is the way.

SAFA - the only cyclist I know of that honestly has to be concerned about speed traps.

Shot around 8:20 is unreal.

Right around 8:00 is a f***ing epic view. The three elements: you, the road and shrubbery flying by, and the mountains just sitting there and not moving.

FANTASTIC POV/photography.....well done boys! It brought back memories....the spills, the chills, the speed; my fastest was 41....downhill, and I thought I was gonna die. Of all my pursuits/sports in life....bicycling is definitely the one that beat me up the most. The real Iron-man feat of strength in all this?: straddling the bike frame, crouched, nose on the handle-bars, ALL the way down.

That landscape with the mountains in the background is absolutely beautiful

I miss these days. My fastest descent was 67 mph and my fastest sprint was 43 mph. Good times! I loved this video!

One of the best videos on the internet. The music, colors. Pure Bliss❤️👏🏻

That was brilliant. I love a good descent but that was taking things to another level Brian. Great camera work and loved the backing track too. Chapeau !

The saddle color-matched with the tires has a really neat touch to it. I love it!

Beautiful, everything just so smooth and serene, empty the mind and be water.

Perfection, background music/sound design, location, videography. Love it!

For the love of this sport, to keep riding for longer, and because it's not worth the risk; thank you for letting us get a glimpse of the emotions you feel when going this fast for this long.

Wow, that is what anyone would call a ride! I love the way the video was taken, it felt as we were in another planet.

Everything about this-music, photography, mood-captures what makes the Eastern Sierras so unique. This vast, stark, aired out, beautiful landscape. A loneliness that's almost meditative. And that's all on top of the descending which... well you know. Loved it, thank you.

Such a simple idea but one so enchanting. What beauty.

I hit 49.5 on a fully ridged MTB in about 1993 coming down Mathis (sand pits, rocks and ruts) Trail in Aliso Viejo CA. Couldn't hear a thing with the wind swirling past my ears. Never again! Props to Brian for having the stones to hit 65. I'd be scared of a light dusting of sand

Off white and light green scenery, gorgeous landscape… and what a descent, 100kph 👏 Amazing to see you focus while seeing your stomach’s heavy breathing! Congrats to the cameraman as well !

Eres el mejor Safa, eres mi inspiración. Espero un día rodar igual que tú. Salúdos desde la Ciudad de México, nunca me pierdo tus vídeos!

Seen other comments suggest the same, but this video is wonderful, the sountrack, what I guess is an early morning sky, the desert, the bike gliding downhill, it is so calming. I watch it a lot before I go to sleep at night

I love you brother Safa. I went down hard in the CX State championships back in late October and just today got back on. This beautiful piece of art came on before I went out (live here in the SanJuan islands in the PNW) and I felt so blessed, inspired because I know you are out there, like so many of us living this beautiful dream.

This views, riding, and audio made this so nice to watch, meditative if you will. Keep it up SAFA!

Absolutely gnarly! At 60 mph, you lose any semblance of spokes, and the bike looks as if it’s simply suspended perfectly center of the tires. Beautiful stuff man, you’re a beast Safa!

Felt like I was watching a movie with this quality. Beautiful morning ride on a very nice road.

When i descent with my mtb bicycle, even 50 km/h feels fast for me. İ can't imagine how fast does it feel to go faster than 100 km/h. The wide view angle of the camera makes the sensation of speed slower than what you will feel if you were riding that fast. Also great camera work.

Awesome SAFA, this should be entered as a short in film fests. Camera work, editing, soundtrack, location, mood , atmosphere, badass, had me psyched to the point I expected "Dragonaut" to drop at the 8min mark!! Thanks for all the work...very inspirational.

This really is the pure gold of this channel!

65mph is insane. Spectacular.

Incredibly inspiring! I just had my best cycling day ever in 40+ years today and watching puts the perfect cap on the day. I'm inspired to continue to keep improving. Thank you! You've really outdone yourself with this one!

This is just beautiful. Cycling poetry is what you do, SAFA.

The whole video was so wholesome, very relaxing combined with the beautiful nature loved it

Crazy talent. Also how lucky to start your day with such a beautiful ride.

The comeback of Lord of Descend.

Spectacular landscape. Climbing that must feel like it never ends. It's a really attainable descent for most riders as it's not mega steep, corners aren't too sharp, road is wide, well sighted, lacking traffic and good surface. Would love to do it one day. Beats the hell out of 20-40% grades, terrible surfaces, tight unsighted corners and lots of cars round here - all of which are pretty terrifying.

Double cheeked up pedalling through the dessert oh lawd have mercy

Beautiful. I've driven that road and it's amazing to see someone mash it on a bike.

Beautiful video production here of a truly epic ride. Pretty terrifying to watch him navigate those winding roads at such speeds!

This kind of videos are amazing. Waiting for the climbing edition in a beautiful scenery

Bravo, sir. Great power and plenty of courage. And good job of cameraman.

Optical one of the Most beautiful videos ive ever seen

dang hitting like 140 rpm at ~45 mph is nuts, Once i go over about 115 my stroke is all over the place, would not work at that speed! Excellent video. I love how you present the stats now.

Wow,awesome descent.Brian picks up speed so quickly,and his hair doesn't seem to slow him down.😁

Amazing ride in an amazing place. And music is something that fascinates and transports you through time. Fabulous!

Reminds me of my youth, I had my arms behind my back going downhill at about 60 - 80 km/h. Greetings from Switzerland

This ride is, well, ZEN-like. So tranquil. So serene. And a HUGE shout-out to the camera operator. OUTSTANDING!!

the camerawork is just crazy. the whole video is a piece of art

Simply WOW! Congratulations!

This is a proving ground for all things mecha in cycling. We need more of this!

105km/h! Is that the fastest you've ever gone on a bike? If not what is? The shot at 8:20 is surreal. Another awesome film. Thanks Safa

Amazing, I can't believe the trust you have in your bike... Speechless! I remember going to lone pine when I race Badwater and on the way down with a car not even close to your speed. God speed :-)

Beautiful capture and cinematography its like riding with the dude going 60 mph,

That side shot at 8:06 was mind blowing! The contrast between the rider and the background is amazing. Almost looks like CGI 🤯

Thank you for this video!! And love the music by Joseph Beg

Doing 55+ mph down a mountain on a road bike I had a rear tube blowout. It was a miracle that I didn't crash, which would have been really, really bad. Since then I moderated my speed a bit.

That was quite amazing. Awesome ride man. Glorious landscape.

A therapeutic work of art indeed.

Sublime. Scenery is out of this world. Time of day and color grade is perfect. Incredible shot at 8:02

fyi music name is Joseph Beg - Theta To Delta Meditation

A true sensation of freedom! Good job my friend!!!

Listening to a deep house mix and watching this video muted is the best combination! Awesome landscape!

This should be shown to aliens about us

This veideo is the most calming video I've watched in a while where someone was doing something crazy. You make this look so damn easy to keep the bike stabalized and running smoothly. I bet you had to change out the bearings after this ride?

This video made me get into road/gravel riding the perfect video and a piece of art

Es el mejor reel que he visto en Instagram y luego te he visto en RU-vid, me encanta… ❤️

Imagine being so confident in your bike condition so you can lay on the bend in front of the abyss. Amazing

Waited a whole year for this one and it was well worth the wait!! I was able to snag top 10 on this back in November but you still smoked me by 3 minutes which is bananas! 🤯

Inspired music choice, blissed out, dark and deep. Amazing video, all told.

This is so calming love it

The handling on this rig is amazing, my bike would have wobbled at 1/2 the speed around some of those turns lol

Please make more such videos. The music and vibes were just pure meditative.. Gonna be rewatching this one couple more times for sure. Nice one team (biker behind especially)

Love everything about this! It's art. I remember coming down the Sierras and the first time I got to 60mph, I was scared 😨. Shivering 🥶 it was so cold and I was so scared 😳

Thank You for the Adventure

Can't decide which is more impressive, nearly breaking the sound barrier on a bicycle, OR the camera work in this video 👏🏻📸🔥 Well done to you both. Inspirational and transcendent. Perfect use for the internet and RU-vid

This is one of the most beautiful cycling videos I've seen. Incredible riding, footage, sounds and vision. 🤘

That was an awesome ride. Beautiful scenery.

One of my favorite cycling descents on RU-vid

Crazy how the camera man managed to run along this fast, all the whilst keeping the camera uncannily stable. Kudos to that man.
