This HELLSCAPE is HELLA fun | Mountain Biking Cold Springs in Santa Barbara, California 

“You don’t own your fitness you only rent it so you have to keep up your payments” - jeez Brian how inspiring are you! That’s such an awesome statement!!!

Welcome to Santa Barbara! That's our local favorite! I did a few youtube videos of our local trails and people hated the bell. Hard to explain it's a way of life here. As a hiker also, we love it.

The GoPro effect couldn't hide the steepness of some descents there. Beautiful trail . Gotta try this one. Great job B ! 💯

Hey Brian, you inspired me to get a Trek Marlin 5 MTB and get out on the singletrack, thank you.

Who knew California had its own Portal Trail! (Mr. Toads might qualify too. I'm sure there are others.) Maybe gloves next time??? Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing, Brian!

Yep, that’s what I commented on the Live feed that the Ibis hubs aren’t very loud at all. They are holding up well also, mine have 2 years of riding and still great!

love the camelbak chill podium bottles w/ the mud caps, keeps the cow & horse poop off your drink.

My camel back is my back protection and has saved me many times otb. Will never ride without it!

Just did this trail over the weekend… all I gotta say is Brutal but I want more!

'the only way to grow up is pain' nice phrase dude and thank you so much for these videos I enjoy them a lot!

Great video! The ride looked like a lot of fun but that bell sound was driving me crazy.

I am pretty sure the guide was glad, to be able to go as fast as he did knowing you were up to it. Love this one, its like an analogy on success in life with the guy at the foot of the hill with all the inspiration but not fitness or energy. No Pain, No Gain is quite Real!

What a trail! There is definitely more % of mountainbikers, who would love to ride this, including me :)

EXCELLENT riding and trails...the adrenaline must have been flowing. Love the bell...

I love biking on hills bkxc because it is fun to see all of the mountains up higher and i love you guys more 😂❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Thats a challenging trail. I've done it a few times. You can easily fly off a cliff on this trail. It ain't no joke . Respect on you riding it ! There are more trails in SB though !

Lovely epic ride nice scenery

The rocky part looks amazing

Absolutely stunning looking trail

Chunky Monkey Fun. Plus the "Land of sketchy switchbacks." My kind of trail. Looked like a blast.

Good intel on the ibis wheel-set. Glad you survived to tell the tale!

Light rims definitely accelerate a little faster. And one thing I notice is they're quicker steering, too. I just got to A/B two identical bikes save one had aluminum and one carbon rims. Huge difference. Great riding, too. That's one gnarly trail. (And thanks for using the bell - keeps good relations with the hikers here in SB.) Are you gonna dare try Tunnel?

Man that chunky gets me craving riding season. Love the chunk

I am so glad I live in a place where I don’t have to worry about riding with a bell…but it was awesome not hearing some obnoxious hub in a YT MTB video -but the bell kinda ruined that! Looks like a great trail!

It was like you were on a bucking bull when you were flying down those rocks lol

🔥 🔥 🔥 Love that trail you got Tunnels and Knapps Castle 🏰 to the right of that some more fun

Brian. For real. Get a bib. They're amazing.

Bell story time. In the south of France many riders attach bells on their saddle rails during hunting season so that they don't get shot at !!!!

Working my way to doing this trail and tunnel which I used to do somewhat frequently when I was a teenager

Try Klean Kanteen SS water bottles. I have never had a problem with mine. And to get away from the sticky, sugary mess try LMNT. Lemon Habanero for the win!

awesome job taking those downhill turns.

Quick tip: Cramping is more of an effect of dehydration. That's why a proper electrolyte drink is valuable on intense efforts.

Amazing looking trail

I walked most of this. I couldn't take the risk. Going back with a full face helmet for another try soon.. !!!

That place looks awesome!!

If you get cramps from not eating - try tailwind. 100 calories a scoop, about 300 calories a bottle. You can sip it the entire climb and stay fueled.

Sick thumbnail!

Absolutely awesome views along with the ride . I woulda had sore hands ! LOL!

Wow, nice ride! Put the suspension, wheels and rider to the test.

Dude! You really nailed that thumbnail!! 😂

Connect the auxiliary light with a relay, so that they switch on automatically when you use high beam 👍🏻 ☀️ ☀️

you're my favourite RU-vidr.... I always love to watch your videos..... ❤️😍😍🚴

I hope you go to heaven when you fly off that cliff! No way man, not me!!! No way I could stomach that exposure!😆

Great video....that trail and scenery are awesome!

Looks fun.

I've been using stainless travel coffee mugs for years. They're coke bottle shaped so fit in bottle cages. No leaks, but you do have to press a button for liquid to come out. They've kept my drinks cold on summer rides in Phoenix, if you need a testimonial.

Love the thumbnail.. nailed it 👊🏻📸

that trail was CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK. that exposure though holy smokes. that cow bell on the dudes bike would drive me nuts, no thanks. thanks for the adventure

I rode that trail last year but it was too hot to do the whole climb (I was out of shape) but it was still really cool!

You gotta do the Tunnel trail to Jesusita. Epic chunk!

geeee that was arm pounding hahaha

Rad dude, that’s was an awesome ride!!

Great video. Great riding! 🙌

That was a great video. That place looks like a dream. I need to leave Nebraska lol.

Awesome jank!!

BKXC breakfast cereal - Hurtful Chunk™

Nice trail with some technical parts..

My backyard, yeww!

Hello Brian, Congrats again on Trail 1. Enjoyed the video. BTW, what is the length of your handlebars??? Thanks...

Wow! Didn’t even know about this trail and I’m just two cities away?! Brian if you’re still in town, head south to Moorpark and hit up Space Mountain. I think you’ll dig it 👊🏽

Trail One should make stainless steel bottles!

Super cool, was rocky, did your wrists hurt? Beautiful scenery.

I not how those leg cramps can be. I once had cramps on both my quads. Every time I put the power down, my quads lock up. I would literally sit down and wait until the cramp pass…

Romero to Cold Springs & Tunnel, that's why I ride

That's where Tommy and his Wreckless Riders crew did their last video. They always shuttle up though.

I'm on of the 1% - This looks like Pyrenees just a tad more dry!

This is the first time I’ve heard this man get leg cramps.

Carbon rims accelerate faster to pedal force, but alloy rims roll faster, especially downhill. If I get my fatbike ripping on a downhill, you really gotta smoke those brakes.

My backyard trail. So much chunk.

The best part is: He's a healthy man with the feel of nature and is not riding one of those GAE E-Bikes...

Try drinking or eating beef root during the week and before you start riding . It will give you a huge performance boost , longer endurance ,stops cramps ,longer time to exhaustion , increase focus . You can drink as a juice or a punch. Do some research on beef root

My kind of chunk!

Hi, 1)Can you tell about the hero 10 settings 2)How to secure go2 mic without dropping Thank you - A long time Subscriber -

Why dont you make stainless steel water bottles and fix 2 problems?

So everyone made it in Brazil, hahaha. If you do not have a wall with eletric fance over it, robers will do the party with your house :/

Why are we replacing our modern plastic bottles once a year? Just fear of any plastics or odor?

Welcome to Santa barbara

Just rode Tunnel trail with my hardtail shit was bumpy blew a tire had to slow down after that

I recently got the ripmo and I have noticed that compared to my race face vault hubs the ibis hubs have more drag. Going to replace the wheels soon anyways but I don’t know if it’s just me.

You mean specialized bottles 😂

I got major arm pump just watching this

Do you upscale your recordings? On your website, it says you record at 2.7k @ 30fps and RU-vid has it in 4k. Is there a reason you would upscale your video?

Have you ever considered honey for a cramp preventing/reducing snack?

Would you rather ride a DVO suspension or a Rockshock suspension on your Ripmo?

Ting-a-ling-a-ling ting-a-ling-a-ling hahaha that would get annoying... But do see the use for it on dual purpose trials

That mtb bell is the 3rd leading cause of suicide in the US. That’s the true HELL in this video.

Looking at your carbon handlebar you sell. curious what length you ride at and rise?

No gloves..?! Awesome trail! 🙏🏼

Always knew there was mountain biking in SB, never thought it'd be this good!

does the lid from the plastic bottle fit on the metal water bottle?

Is this enduro or XC? Great content as always!

Santa Gnarbra. I just keep a fat bell attached to my beak line in front of my bars. I get a lot of thank yous on the trail for it.

Gotta check out arroyo Burro if you havent very fun trail in Santa Ynez behind SB

Have you done bark park in Calabasas?

Not sure how you ride this without gloves haha Maybe its just me but i feel like i fatigue way faster withoit them.

Again....Brian riding Gloveless...I guess you haven't crashed without them yet...,you'll only do it once!

Fellow evil wreckoning owner, bike just shreds your buddy knows the way to roll.

Brian, what GoPro are you using? Cheers!

Hey Brian, next time you make it down to Simi Valley there's a "hidden gem" tech trail just a further climb up Rocky Peak than all the popular spots. "Johnson's" on trailforks descends 3 miles from the east side of Rocky Peak into the Valley after a roughly 3 mile, 1,000ft climb. As a local, it's always been one of my favorites. It's marked as a blue on trailforks and is very chunky with creative line oppurtunities all the way down, it's very hard to be quick the first time you ride it, but satisfying to learn, and entertaining to see how everyone takes a different approach. You lose elevation a lot more gradually than steeper, higher risk trails in the area.so it feel worth it. Overall it has optional and less built up features than most trails on the west side of Rocky Peak. Don't overlook it's blue rating on trailforks, I really do believe it's a "flow rock garden" all the way down if there is such a thing. It's great for getting comfortable with being light on your bike and thinking on your feet. I would call it a "natural trail" but it was formerly Johnson Motorway back in the 30s or something and was at least a partially paved mining road. There's a couple spots where there's still old ashplant holding rocks together and remnants of equipment. The trail descends into a gated community, never had a problem with the guard letting us out. It's best done with a friend who can park their car on Poema Pl off the Topanga exit of the 118, the exit right after Rocky Peak to shuttle back. Not a bad ride back if you can't shuttle, but it's a narrow road with drivers that don't pay attention to get back. Another good blue on Rocky Peak is Chumash, I used to ride it 3x a week. The top is slow speed slabby tech, but low exposure. As it descends it gets faster with more exposure interspersed with technical features and loose, rocky, fast, corners. There's lots of little offshoot line choices towards the bottom along with a fork offering different choices at the last 500ft. Once you descend all the way to Flanagan, you can climb (shortly) back up the paved water tower access road to the left and descending back down "Memorial" trail to quickly get back to where you parked. It feels like you get a lot for what you put in, it just takes will power to keep pedaling past the easier to get to, more popular trails. The views of the San Fernando, Simi and Conejo Valley's are totally worth it. On very clear days you can see a sliver of ocean over the mountains out towards Malibu and all the way to Oxnard to the North.
