I thought that was your face on the air freshener but its ice cube 😂😂

[@jesseocegueda1]

GMR is more of a 3rd gear Pushing 4th gear hitting 5th for my Celica. GMR is Located between Glendora and Mount Baldy. at the base of Mount Baldy side is Claremont.

[@sakumisan]

"first, don't cross lanes" as a motorcyclist who rides GMR, THANK YOU.

[@895takashi]

The 330 up to big bear is a nice road just a little crowded

[@CARSONBOARD]

I've been to big bear in the evo x I got so lost up there. I don't think I could go back lol.

[@GianniAdduci]

I like what you have done with the car so far. Also those camera angles made the video more enjoyable to watch.

[@CARSONBOARD]

Gianni Adduci I'm glad I could make a canyon video you could enjoy

[@TestChamberJunkie]

This brought back good memories. Thanks for posting.

[@Ash.Mckzari]

i love gmr personally my favorite spots to run the touge i actaully crashed there back in october luckily i lived to tell the tell i also got my e46 back up n running again still my daily :) just gave me a reason to upgrade it actually i have a front side run on my page in the same car it was one of my first runs on gmr

[@kenc356]

Gotta run GMR from the other direction. Some great turns to the top. Really liked the steering tip, give that a try. Be safe.

[@CARSONBOARD]

Glad you enjoyed the steering tips

[@danieljestes8251]

Hey I really like the video, one thing I would say is to make separate videos describing proper canyon driving etiquette and make the review videos just driving. I definitely think more people need to be taught what you have to say about backroad safety! The beginning was a little difficult to listen to you talking without being curious about the the road and watching you drive it when the camera is on you, but then later with the camera outside and the mic in the car with you talking was much better! Super glad you're doing this with Project Miata btw I own a 1995 check out my channel and or my Instagram @danieljestes

[@CARSONBOARD]

Wow thanks for this feed back yeah from now one I'm going to do the talking with the camera outside. This content is something new I'm working on still figuring out the flow of this content. But thanks a lot for your input this was very helpful

[@CARSONBOARD]

on*

[@SeanLewisMedia]

People die up there all the time its crazy. I live by Glendora High School and I hear about it all the time from facebook. Awesome video by the way!

[@ozman1975]

Palomar Mountain. Pretty famous. I'll bring my 650hp Evo out with you...;)

[@CARSONBOARD]

I've actually filmed in that mountain for Greg's Miata turbo short film video

[@rafrafimadinosaur]

Like this, maybe Ortega highway

[@CARSONBOARD]

I'll make a note of this canyon can you send us a picture of the canyon on google maps?

[@CARSONBOARD]

Send pic to our IG @carsonboard

[@50nollieman]

I second this!

[@dwaynewingate893]

sometimes every crazy downhill guy possible...stupid dangerous place

[@umiboi]

Digging these mountain road vids. Keep up the vids bro.

[@2h40s]

+1 for Ortega hwy only bad thing is that it's always full of commuters but still decent road, I live right next to it so if you come by we can film some outside shots!

[@CARSONBOARD]

silly240sx sweet lets do it

[@mauricio951]

Maybe try implementing some time of a rating system of 1-5 or 1-10 for like length, difficulty, how crowded it is, etc. that way people get an idea of the canyon as a whole? Also a canyon recommendation is Carbon Canyon which runs from Chino to Brea.

[@CARSONBOARD]

mauricio951 this is a good idea I'll try and do this for the next video

[@kenc356]

Those who question the steering tip. Here's a good POV. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mamnq2OQZZtphKs

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Highland Valley Road here in north county San Diego!

[@CARSONBOARD]

OhYeahAboutThat can you send us pics using google maps @carsonboard IG

[@nicknothing8046]

On the second time up the mountain with the camera on the trunk lid, how did you reduce the wind noise that much?

[@kingjimmykingjimmy]

Don't really know if I agree with the advice you gave about steering. What happens when you have a sharp hairpin? In autox and some road racing situations a lot of drivers will move their left hand to the 12 o clock position and pull the wheel down to help them get around that hair pin. Nevertheless I like what you've done to the Miata keep up the good work.

[@CARSONBOARD]

You're right! I forgot to mention with different cars mostly older steering racks and different tracks with hairpin you need to shuffle steer but the the technique I show helps to keep the car more stable which helps with faster lap times.

[@kingjimmykingjimmy]

CARS ONBOARD definitely man, one thing to think about is depowering your steering rack if you want better steering feel. It's an easy mod to do.

[@danieljestes8251]

I think the primary thing he was trying to stress is (to a lot of beginner drivers) not to take your hands off the wheel so there is smaller possibility of losing control. I agree with what you're saying though when I AutoX that comes into play occasionally and I even find myself fumbling with tight corners!

[@goodguy...badrep.]

Nice Disclaimer 👍

[@dwaynewingate893]

1970s to 1986 party road ...illegal roadside bonfires...hundreds of drunks throwing bottles...1987 to 1990 the forestry filled up dirt mounds roadside (NO PARKING)...cops would round up drunks...crazy times...need a pass to park now from forestry in Glendora or Azusa canyon

[@CARSONBOARD]

My friends dad's would tell me about these party's. That's so crazy.

[@thatonesix3120]

[@dwaynewingate893]

earthquake knocked the road out for 5 years...

[@tonyjoubert1591]

Hi bro ! I want to know , in this video , your miata are on tein s tech ? Because it’s ultra low !

[@Dgpratt4]

Why is it bad to use the parking break after you drive in the mountains and the breaks are hot? What damage does it cause to the break rotors?

[@CARSONBOARD]

When you have a hot pad and rotor and you pull the e-brake you will leave a hot spot on the rotor and pad. It will drop the performance of the rotor and brake pad.

[@carloscorona6112]

Ortega Highway or Idyllwild

[@CARSONBOARD]

Carlos Corona Can us google maps pics @carsonboard IG

[@CARSONBOARD]

Carlos Corona can you send us pics using google maps @carsonboard IG

[@marcolepsey]

86 driver is Karl

[@CARSONBOARD]

Yeah I feel bad I forgot at the time I was filming

[@MegaDatsunman]

Love the video. Driving tip, race on way up, not on the way down I'm the way up you have better braking, on the way down your braking is worse. Also Gmr isn't strictly a 2nd gear road. It has to do with your gearing ratios, a 1.6 5 speed it's a 2nd gear, but if you have a 1.8 6 speed swap it's a 3rd gear road. The place where he hangs out is typically called the point.

[@christophercastaneda9417]

Do Highway 9, one of the best

[@CARSONBOARD]

Can you send us a pic using google map and send to @carsonboard IG
