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

📺 Check out the extended cut of this video on / bkxc
No better way to test out a new set of wheels than on one giant rock garden. This ride wrung me out! Big ole climb and a WICKEDLY fun descent. I’m glad Kyle told me to add a few extra PSI for this meat grinder.

Yeah… but it’s from JJ Watt

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.

[@abstraddic0442]

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

[@rezenclowd3]

Cold springs isn't steep, but the chunk is something else. Tunnel trail next door is on another level though!

[@abstraddic0442]

@@rezenclowd3 Thanks.. nooo...I wouldn't want it any steeper than this first trail. Last thing anyone needs is a trip to Cottage Hospital. 😏

[@iamcantiaci]

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

[@bamlopez1492]

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

[@mikedrymala2228]

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

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

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!

[@dudeonbike800]

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!

[@jimmeridda]

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.

[@mchooten]

sb local here. me too everyone loves us!

[@billmcmillan7735]

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

[@Friskee62]

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

[@SimplePleasuresMTB]

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

[@syazwanabdull4835]

Lovely epic ride nice scenery

[@MrWestsiderider]

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 !

[@nicholasmartin4559]

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!

[@harryridesbikes8617]

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

[@Mugtree]

Absolutely stunning looking trail

[@bastianlarraguibel484]

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

[@mr.reality2894]

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

[@nateums]

Amazing looking trail

[@mongooseman310]

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

[@69Tonyro]

Great video. Great riding! 🙌

[@koho]

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?

[@christianhawk2396]

That place looks awesome!!

[@amogelangmooka]

The rocky part looks amazing

[@haleyjv.]

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

[@fernandocervantes2517]

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

[@Kenevoslcomp777]

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

[@strenkp]

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

[@magruderable]

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

[@WeekendPirate]

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

[@johnblackham4443]

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

[@MarkJolley]

Looks fun.

[@whitebread940]

awesome job taking those downhill turns.

[@scottfast03]

Awesome jank!!

[@markvan3465]

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

[@theollewelyn3422]

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!

[@50mtb44]

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

[@ifonly4486]

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 !!!!

[@ProfeTa6]

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

[@RyanMcNatt]

Sick thumbnail!

[@abstraddic0442]

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

[@bkxc]

That was a CRAZY trail!

[@AFugax]

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!

[@RidingMyBestLife]

Love the thumbnail.. nailed it 👊🏻📸

[@willienillie6337]

Nice trail with some technical parts..

[@ChronoCard]

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

[@manuelsegalex]

Dude! You really nailed that thumbnail!! 😂

[@rogerd9405]

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

[@razmtb5028]

geeee that was arm pounding hahaha

[@SilentPahadi]

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

[@johnglynn7795]

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

[@forbiddenbeat]

My backyard, yeww!

[@viktortegelberg]

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

[@ozmosis8630]

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!

[@RocketMTB]

My kind of chunk!

[@clinchleatherwood1012]

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

[@forestkan6653]

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.

[@bonkasaurus_wrecks]

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.

[@bonkasaurus_wrecks]

What did I win?

[@sgtkurry]

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.

[@brhoades3870]

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

[@andrewholt2078]

My backyard trail. So much chunk.

[@Bessunger]

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

[@JahGuide]

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

[@abstraddic0442]

Great idea, Hope he listens that's got to be an easy fix, no other bottle on the market has a cap problem like that. 🥴

[@sherwin3williams]

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

[@dtrn750]

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 👊🏽

[@mattbobier3756]

He has a Few videos of him riding rosewood and space mtn

[@rezenclowd3]

I have a couple guys from TO/Moorpark that come up and we shuttle Cold Springs, Tunnel, Knapps, Arroyo Burro. Usually do Knapps 3-4 times at end of day....8am-sunset shuttle day!

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

Welcome to Santa barbara

[@johnkempsell4109]

Trail One should make stainless steel bottles!

Ini yang ku tunggu

[@willienillie6337]

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…

BKXC breakfast cereal - Hurtful Chunk™

[@arnarsarnars]

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

[@bigbarrelbr]

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 :/

[@ericcontreras8863]

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

[@mtbcostarica2833]

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

[@somal1anwarlord197]

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

[@EagleBeagl3]

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

[@mattbobier3756]

He just did that in the last few weeks. Has a video of it

[@vinkale]

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

[@petedog9581]

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.

[@PatFin401]

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

[@agustinfunesemma]

Is this enduro or XC? Great content as always!

[@DaKeithCody]

Brian rides a Ibis Ripmo. It's All Mountain.

[@njkayaker]

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

[@sneakyray9160]

Have you done bark park in Calabasas?

[@miadepaula]

Brian, what GoPro are you using? Cheers!

[@fromxctoletssee]

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

[@patrickh4540]

I thought they were chased by an ice cream van 😉

[@fromxctoletssee]

@Patrick H lol. Then stopping would have worked better. Ice cream all around.

[@TheeJohnWayne]

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

[@danstanley9341]

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

[@TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

I got major arm pump just watching this

[@briankelly1817]

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

[@SiRBov]

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

[@Nathan-nl3re]

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

[@SilentPahadi]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@SimplePleasuresMTB]

You mean specialized bottles 😂

[@jerryf581]

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

[@reginaldoluiz8995]

💪✌👊🤘👏👏

[@stumpy25lbs]

No gloves..?! Awesome trail! 🙏🏼

[@thebarofclay6100]

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

[@fishersmurf846]

More magnesium supplements for no more calf cramps, or other cramps. It works.

[@scottbates5099]

If your tire psi is higher your rolling resistance could be lower

[@BigVanLittleAdventures]

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