Part 2 Santa Barbara MTB July 4th weekend / Tunnel (Best trail in California) 7/5/2020

This is Part 2 of our ride in Santa Barbara. Oli was so tired with Cold Springs and Tunnel so he called it a day. It was only me and Chris so we decided to go up and hit Tunnel again. This time Chris had my GoPro and followed me down. The 2nd lap was way better for me, we hit it at a better speed and I was able to ride more confident leading and choosing my own lines instead trying to take Chris's gangster lines.
This is my favorite trail, it's probably the gnarliest trail I have ever ridden. It has everything, its chunky, steep, tech, flowy, drops and you have to pick your lines. Best part is its a shuttle so no climbing required. The top of the trail starts at 3,459 ft elevation. The trail is 6.3 miles long, 2,652 ft of descent, average grade is -13.6%. The gnarly rock garden "Little Tunnel" is 0.2 mi, -20.3% average grade.
Video doesn't do this trail justice it is a legit double black diamond and I highly recommend expert riders only. Hit Cold Springs first and if its too hard than don't even try Tunnel. Also the guys that are taking care of the trails is SAGE Trail Alliance, if you ride these trails it would be awesome if you can go on their website and donate, they do a lot of work. The money helps them buy tools. Link to their website www.sagetrail.org

So sick, Tommy! That's a gnarly chunky trail. Chris gets steezy at every chance...🤘💥

[@TommyHuynh]

Thanks brotha 🤘 yes Chris is on another level 💪

[@Eltoca21]

It is really interesting to see the difference in body attitude and stance on the bike between Chris and you. I find things like that really educational as it encourages me to try and play with different riding styles. Great trail and great riding.

[@TommyHuynh]

You better be trying to ride like Chris not me, unless you can take alot pain 🤣

[@jonathanangieri153]

That poor Enduro was begging to be let loose.... Sick riding on some gnarly AF trails

[@kylespencer924]

Great video Tommy, one of my favorites. As a local, can I ask that all you guys wear bike bells. I didn't hear any in the video. We try to keep the bell boxes at all the trail heads stocked and if the aren't reach out to Sage Trail Alliance. Unfortunately, the hikes hold all the power and money and have been trying to get us kicked off the trails for years.

[@9livesMtb]

Great video..last few minutes epic good flow and jumps😈😈👌

[@TommyHuynh]

Yeah the end of the trail is super flowy and has fun optional drops 👌

[@rodrigo711k]

Straight riPppPPEnnnNnN... 🤙🏼 good stuff guys keep shredding..

[@MyBatanghamog]

Man that trails sketchy! Tommy you might want a 29 in the front. Looking at the SB, its just rolling over those big rocks.

[@TommyHuynh]

29 wheels would make it a little easier but not by a whole lot, these are boulders not rocks, the main reason Chris's bike rolls over easier is because it's a 29er but mainly it's because his bike is way longer and he's a bad ass rider.

[@jimothyMTB]

Girl, of all the KZbinrs, your videos get me the most stoked to go ride my bike and push the limits. Keep up the awesome POV.

[@TommyHuynh]

Hahahaha thanks brotha 🤘

[@jrregaladovision]

Man that intro crash gets me to watch the whole video every time.

[@TommyHuynh]

Hahahaha 🤘

[@alexlamy1271]

You should need to go to Dawnieville California bro .. ✌🏻

[@TommyHuynh]

Yeah hopefully one of these days, it's hard with the restaurant

[@scotsemmens596]

I need to take a drive down from Vegas to do this one!

[@TommyHuynh]

Yes it's worth it, not sure if you have ridden Ginger, that's the gnarliest trail in Bootleg this one is just a step gnarlier but it's 10 times as long 💪

[@TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

Sick vid, cruising by your restaurant tomorrow. 🙂

[@TommyHuynh]

Hell yeah 🤘 see you tomorrow

[@mrvwbug4423]

Damn, I think you guys found the portal to Gnarnia haha.

[@8664antonio]

was that cris where follow you? your rear wheel tracks the earth so sweet!! good trail.

[@TommyHuynh]

Yes Chris was following me 🤘

[@motogp1gprix1]

Dang, that would even be gnarly on my TX 300 dirt bike. I need to take a trip out there and try that one.

[@thiagolucero1258]

Verry help my!!💪👍

[@TommyHuynh]

Yes it's gnarly, I hope you will try riding it down on a mountain bike since dirt bikes are not permitted there

Who would think in the sleepy town of Santa Barbara

[@TommyHuynh]

Seriously

[@PC33CC]

That’s looks every bit as technical and every bit as dangerous as Portal. Am I wrong? Because this looked insane.

[@earlmangune8614]

As always, Badass!!!

Good videos guys keep it up. Im from SB and I KNOW how challenging that trail is 👏🏼💪🏼

Thanks brotha 🤘 yeah video doesn't do this trail justice

[@MrJGBX1]

NICE !See how much better u ride when u upfront BBC pushing you ! LOL ! sick !

[@TommyHuynh]

Thanks brotha 🤘 yeah it's definitely easier riding in the front and choosing my own lines. BBC definitely pushing me 💪

[@cellphonenut]

Damn that shit is poster boy of Gnar 😬

[@KenPho]

My palms and feet sweat watching this video. I could feel my adrenaline pumping. Lol

[@koho]

IMO that sets the standard for Tunnel TB vids. I've never ridden this trail but I've hiked it more than once. It's hard to get how steep and challenging it is unless you've been on it. Hearing "here comes the gnarly part" *after* two washouts says it all! I'm taller than you, Tommy, but there's no question whose balls are bigger. And you and BB Chris are a good tandem. Great to see you riding this time, Tommy. Peace (and stay in one piece!)

[@TommyHuynh]

Thanks brotha 🤘 yeah meet hikers all the time that can't believe that we ride down some sections. Video never does the trail justice.

[@ericramosmd]

Great riding Tommy and Chris. That was some impressive chunk, thanks for another great video.

[@TommyHuynh]

Thanks brotha 🤘 glad you enjoyed it

[@promodsteve7882]

DAMN, think you could find some more rocks? That was crazy. Got my shirt it is SICK. My daughter loves the logo.

[@TommyHuynh]

Hell yeah 🤘 thanks for your support 🙏

You will drink the whiskey and you will like it.

Hahahaha 🤘

[@boylagz]

Man, thats JANK. A. F.

[@TommyHuynh]

Hahahaha it is 💪

[@TheRoamingHazard]

This trail looks so crazy and I know how much the camera flattens things out.

[@SimplePleasuresMTB]

I was saying the same thing, gnarly

[@TommyHuynh]

Yes, I was warned by a bunch of people about Tunnels, I went on KZbin and watched a couple videos and said, ok it's gnarly but nothing I can't do, but once I got on the rock garden I was WTF! It's on a different level 💪

[@junnyhdaayala7674]

Wow. That is a nice trail. You should do a day of riding for your viewers. Thanks for the amazing videos.

[@TommyHuynh]

I do group rides but there's no way I would do a group ride on a trail like this. When we go in a group of 4-5 it takes twice as long. This trail is really gnarly and most people would walk alot of sections, flats are very likely and it would probably take several hours to get down just 1 run. When I do group rides I normally hit Aliso the trails are alot more mellow and rideable for most riders

[@QUACKERBACKER101]

Inspiring and discouraging!...15 min rock garden if doom! Thanks for sharing and edits

[@TommyHuynh]

It's actually alot longer than 15 mins the rock garden goes on for miles 💪

[@wootty261]

Sure does go on for miles. It's super consequential and gnarly. Fun on the right bike if you're willing to take chances. Views up there are out of this world. Another entertaining video Tommy! Props to you and your girl. 😉💪🏻

[@jacobmyblessing]

Tommy you a solid crew to roll with! That’s awesome bro!

[@TommyHuynh]

Thanks brotha 🤘

[@damianluby8973]

It's great to see that when you make mistakes (like I do) you include the footage. Keep it coming.

[@kirkland0074]

Yo Tommy when is the Big Booty Chris T-shirt coming out?

[@biketothetop]

Tommy, Great stuff as always! Tons of tech challenges coming at you one after the other!

[@TommyHuynh]

Yes it's non stop, you have to be on your A game especially going at that speed, super tech and gnarly

[@SimplePleasuresMTB]

Best trail in So Cal🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻what??? So lucky I live 30 minutes away. Haven’t hit tunnels yet but Jesusita ties into it towards the bottom, that’s not as tech, but has a nice flow to it. Your buddy tipping that Jameson😂😂😂😂good shit guys🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TommyHuynh]

Yeah Tunnels is a bad ass trail, I'm always nervous on the ride up and going down always scares the shit out of me but once I'm done I'm so stoked I made it out alive 🤘

Been watching your videos for a while. Sick ride you guys are fucking nuts bro.

[@woodpecker6452]

The camera on the ground really puts how difficult that trail is into perspective

[@TommyHuynh]

Yeah it does a better job then the POV but I still think it doesn't do the trail justice

What you doin' to your girl Chris??? 🤪

Intense trail Tommy! Does Chris have a youtube channel of his own?

[@TommyHuynh]

He doesn't post on KZbin but follow him on IG he posts there @cjt_mtb

[@Daveporter249]

You should start making some vlogs leading up to the rides. I'd watch them forsure.

[@TommyHuynh]

Unfortunately I barely have enough time for my current edits with work and family as well
