Escape From Hollywood Hills [Pt. 1]

I head to the urban part of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Hollywood Hills. Never a dull moment here: plenty of blind corners, construction and sand everywhere, pedestrians, batmobiles, and a dash of water for luck. Bake for 10 minutes and get the hell outta there!
Ride starts on Sunset Plaza and the second half is on Hollywood Drive.

[@sitflyer2661]

Nice run, loved the sound from the drivetrain and the rim brakes!

[@SAFABrian]

Finally getting my audio more dialed!

[@f2.8-]

When you have 5 Stars in GTA V 😂💪

[@numasulay5057]

You have thousands of followers, you don't even know everyone, you don't know me either, however I accompany you on your trips, and I thank you! You to me, you are Safa Brian. Do what is necessary to be well and safe partner! Thanks for the trip!!!

[@SAFABrian]

I don't know most people that's true, but some people I get to know a little bit through the comments... Glad you're enjoying the videos. I'm staying safe as possible and keeping the camera rolling.

[@SuperZebadee]

Love your videos. Apart from anything else,I'll never get to visit LA/Hollywood but this gives me a glimpse of the area. I'm addicted to watching your rides :-)

[@eefergezer]

Teslas from this video : 0:15 Model 3 , 2:42 , 5:24 Model X with worse modifications , 6:29 proboly model 3 , 7:08 Handsome model S .

[@SAFABrian]

Welcome to California! I hope to get a full Tesla count in all my videos now. A Porsche vs Tesla count would be interesting too. :)

[@avalsirithanawat1772]

Efe Ergezer There are SOOOO many range rovers and G wagons 😅

[@00tohsaka9]

I’ve only ridden steel my whole life, but I love the sound of your bike.

[@SAFABrian]

Same 😊

[@FormostPanda]

Your rides bring back a lot of memories. Back in the seventies, our club would do the Hollywood hills every Saturday. Beautiful riding, year round. But it was too crowded for me, even back then. I can't imagine what it's like now.

[@zarekivey]

This was so therapeutic. Thank you.

[@SergeySus]

Revealing some secret routes through old Hollywood! Nice vid and that Tahoe was stopped, that was close. Thanks for the vid, stay safe.

[@elpina587]

Yo this is turning out to be a fresh channel thanks for the rides. Like how you hit all the not so everyday routes. Can you do decker canyon rd 23 from Malibu to westlake village? Thanks 100k subscribers in no time

[@SAFABrian]

I plan to film down to Westlake on of these days! Still have never ridden down there if you can believe it. Maybe I'll film my first ride down.

[@rrosomasa]

@@SAFABrian - dude, do the potrero loop, even if you don't film it, is pretty sweet. You can turn back at Dos Vientos..... or, do the very steep downhill at Potrero

[@MaxPoweer]

The sound of that rear hub was Spectacular... You fucking rule, dude...

[@tebogopodile]

Your videos inspired me to get into drop-bar bicycles. I sold my budget MTB to get a cyclocross or gravel bike, but they're so expensive! Can't wait to start shredding these streets soon.

[@utharkruna1116]

The 3 wheel bat mobile 😂😂

[@PalmBeachPrincess1]

This is so cool, I've been wondering what it looks like in the Hollywood hills, i used to live in California but never really explored certain areas. Makes me kinda curious if some of the houses you rode by belonged to celebrities, actors, rock stars, etc

[@SAFABrian]

I'm sure a lot of entertainment industry folk own property in the area but I'm not too immersed in that world. Only house I recognised was around the 10:25 mark on the left. Storer house by Frank Lloyd Wright. I do have some more videos from the area coming out later.

[@Tibomash]

Yooo SAFA, big inspiration to go riding everyday ! yeee haw

[@halleybat]

Man, you make my day much better with this lonely ride. Keep going

[@SAFABrian]

Nice to hear that!

[@oalabi]

Please next time show your speed, slope gradient, and location on descent via a map, next time, thanks for sharing, looks really fun to try on a bucket list. And sorry for asking for too much.

[@joseyeastwood]

Your are very brave my stomach was in knots!!!!

[@dublude]

The view and the raw sound is amazing, but damn those many cars and no sidewalks make me nervous

[@tonfaboy]

love your videos my dude!

[@SAFABrian]

Thanks!

[@gudduentertains]

Great videos for working out on stationary bike❤️

[@Grunge_Cycling]

I ran straight into one of those green garbage cans on Laurel Canyon. If the lid wasn't closed I would've ended upside down in the garbage can lol. Fun times!

[@SAFABrian]

Haha 😂

[@SAFABrian]

Have a Laurel Canyon descent in the works.

Another great video from the blue colla hill bomba

[@ridewithgae1467]

WOW, the view is amazing

[@Clichefotos]

Incredible! Good Safa, Thanks for share.

[@ElLenadorLA]

I know those streets well, I’d never think to descend them. That ride looks nerve racking as hell lol good stuff though!

[@SAFABrian]

They don't let you camp up there 🤑

Man I really gotta go to hollywood to ride my bike one of these days, looks like a fabulous place to ride.

[@SAFABrian]

No flats roads, and yes tons of fun!

[@ДмитрийОстпоменский]

Красата. 🚴‍♀️🇷🇺👍Класс.

[@TheStarkman123]

2:31 you should come see Wellington (New Zealand) lmao.

[@annemelo2571]

Safa Brian! I love your videos! U rock! the routes you take are incredible and I have to say ... I'm getting to know the places (USA) more through you. Thank u :)

[@SAFABrian]

I'll try show some more of LA!

[@fernando18144]

Ese barrio está excelente para pedalear, buen video esta pepa!

[@ChrisadventureTV08]

I experience riding like that. Imiss the moment. I stop biking bcoz of Covid .

[@SAFABrian]

Hopefully you can ride again soon.

[@jacquesdemolay5171]

When the Hollywood Hills have more traffic than NYC. Damn, cool upload, but nothing about this footage makes me want to ride that road. Sand @3:44 "You don't want to slide out, and end up..." Me: In the hospital? Brian: "...under a car." Yikes. Stay safe, dude!

[@SAFABrian]

haha! People think I just ride crazy and hope for the best. I think of all the awful possibilities that could happen and weigh them against my skill for each corner.

[@carlfisherjr.8203]

Good gawd brother! You're making my road rash hurt watching these vids! How in the hell would a firetruck ever make it up those narrow roads cluttered with too many road machines?

[@SAFABrian]

🤫 We don't talk about fires here 😬 But slowly...

[@Steaks652]

This is real cool buddy, be careful though, you are so fast.

[@pratikborle3657]

I watching everyday your videos i like very much sir your's blogs and you are very good cyclist.....

[@SAFABrian]

Thanks!

[@yechielchli6769]

Hey nice vid. are those hoods tilted in slightly?

[@Ben_Eagle]

Looks like Cape Town every now and then

[@ImHereForYourArtStream]

Hey Safa how's it going? Great ride as usual. If you rode that spot alot you would have to get new brakes pretty often probably.. lol

[@SAFABrian]

Thanks. I only climb and descend so par for the course here. I wonder if disc brake pads would actually wear out faster 🤔

[@yodhamahatva5035]

Hi, are u using a road or gravel bike sir? A marvelous escape anyway

[@SAFABrian]

Road bike

[@jacebricker7695]

Have you ever ridden up/down bulldog in Malibu Creek State Park?

[@SAFABrian]

No, but it's on the gravel bike list.

[@nhonhodemetrio9972]

[@JaqueParisien]

I agree with @KarlozG, best channel for the rides in these troubled times, no doubt.

[@vilsansolamillo6357]

Nice place brian💓💓💓

[@sktkhang929]

Nice video!!! Keep it up :D

[@JonC83]

that was a bit too intense for me, even though I'm having a couple of thousand of miles each year in my legs, too. guess if I'd record some of my descents they would be that scary to see, too.

[@josepaulolimajr.9376]

Muito legal o vídeo!

[@BMMB450]

Sand could be deadly Safa which can slip and fall easly espichaly in high speed into road turns. Nice work deeply apprchiated. Big thump BE SAFE bud 🤘🏻

[@sohibun30s]

Waiting for up hill videos 😁

[@SAFABrian]

Very boring. In some future videos I'll upload longer rides that have climbs in them.

[@teribomoda]

Good job, 100. Like

[@lokint9649]

arent you really afraid of cars coming when you turn and you're blind? I know that I'd be too afraid to go faster than 20km/h

[@debelifratar]

What sort of rear hub you're running?

[@SAFABrian]

Deluxe Cycles, part of their wheelset. Linked in description.

[@qopiqq3629]

Bit of topic, but could anyone from such a big city explain the appeal of living there to me? Im from a small country and i have always lived in small villages. I can't stand big cities its way to busy for me. Can you agree, what are the pro's about such cities? Only thing that i can think of is that it would be cool to see your city featured in a film

[@SafariPhaladi]

E bike?

[@marcinstyle85]

Yes

[@Dragofang]

just wondering why do you blow through stop signs,at least around where i live bikes have to obey stop and speed signs

[@Am-ct8hv]

wow​❤️​What wheels are used? The sound is great

[@SAFABrian]

Deluxe Cycles. Check the description.

[@PULUVA104]

Is it me or that "thing" over ahead of him is a white lion!!?? 😨😰😨😰

[@HumaneNewt]

Any reason for all the sand on the road? Storms or something?

[@SAFABrian]

This is what happens when people want to live on steep hillsides. Human made erosion.

[@Ashiquei]

NIce vidoes what bike you using,,, gravel bike?

[@SAFABrian]

Road

[@Ashiquei]

@@SAFABrian it would be awesome if you can overlay your speed on the video.. Saw it on some other KZbin videos it overlays BPM, Spped, elevation etc.. Interesting to see how fast your you were going

[@SAFABrian]

Some of my videos have overlays, most don't. It's a lot of added work and hard drive space and I do this work for free.

9:19 that garage and the space in front of it, even with the house on it's right, how you can see the sky behind it. it's pretty close to Franklin's house, just saying. (blocked by the black SUV for major part of that single second it's even visible for -_-)

[@wildes_]

take a shot every time you see a car over $70,000

[@SAFABrian]

[@raystaar]

I don't mean to be rude but, in my opinion, your videos would be more enjoyable without narration. The bike and road sounds are sufficient unto themselves, and talking detracts from the visual excitement of the ride.

[@SAFABrian]

Everyone's got one!
