Riding Some Of The Steepest MTB Trails In Santa Cruz! Bay Area Mountain Biking

[@MeditativeMTB]

It’s cool to see how much your riding has progressed in 2 years. Nice work!

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

I appreciate it, man!

[@aok5555]

Shredding. I ride most of those trails but it looks much different at my speed lol.

[@tom2038]

you know that first one?

[@jacobd8826]

Huge day! Props to you and your dad. I ride with my son who's a little younger than you i think. We're not at your guys level but working on it. We've raced a little CES (we're filthy casuals) - if you're hitting 10 laps at UC you definitely have the fitness for it. At CES everyone rides at a pretty high level, so knowing the course and not making mistakes is key to placing. I'm confident you could podium with your fitness and skill level. Go get it!

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Thank you man! That's awesome you do the same thing for your son. It's a lot of fun especially when in a similar skill level. a matter of fact, I'm doing my first CES (North Star Enduro) this year which I'm real stoked for! I'm hoping to place well but we will see, it's super competitive over there so I'm not getting my hopes too high. 😅 I appreciate all the kind words, just keep riding and you will get to my level I'm certain! I started by just riding and added training and cross training in later. Have fun out there man 🤙

[@BrianBlinn]

such fun trails - love these.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

They are a gem, that's for sure.

[@amir_mtb]

Nice fast shredding!! I thought I know that area like the back of my hand, but not familiar with that drop in min 12 🤔

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Thank you Amir! If you DM me I'll let you know what trail it is. Its probably the gnarliest at UC IMO, super fun though!

[@Rszshredsmtb79]

Yall are crazy for doing 10 laps and for doing BF, that chute after HB is screwed, gotta come down to UC with u guys sometime.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

10 laps was not easy but 100% worth it! The chute isn't too bad thanks to the big catch berm at the bottom, fun trail overall. For sure man!

[@andrerichard628]

Yo just curious are you getting top 10 on strava for these? I'm not trying to look it up just seems like you must be one of the faster riders down there.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

I just ride fast haha, I've been working toward some of them, one of them is due to the trail being so new. Takes time to get to know the trail where you can just let off and push though.

[@jongreen5567]

Been following your channel and you have gotten a lot faster. Ripping the Steeps!! SS looked like there was work done on it. Was the chute chunky or was there a smooth line?

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Appreciate it dude! 🤙SS is the same, maybe a little rutted in the chute but more or less the same. The chute more towards the bottom has (for me anyway) always been chunky like that.

[@bearded4glory809]

Did he tow you? I did 7 today on the eeb but that is a lot!

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

He did not. I did all 10 without assistance. I've since done 10 laps every ride I do here haha. I do a lot of training to make riding more enjoyable and for racing Enduro. I'm planning to get more into racing this year. Although, I've ridden his E-Bike around and it is so nice!

[@bearded4glory809]

@@thebigoutsidemtb Damn, most I have done is 5 on my regular bike.

[@HD-on2eg]

Killin it bro.

[@yuriredstaar]

What is the last trail called

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Can't say. But if you DM me on Patreon, I can give you some pointers. It also supports the channel.

[@tom2038]

what was that first trail.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Can't say publicly, you know how it is 🙂 But I can give you some pointers if you DM me on Patreon.

What trials are these?

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Santa Cruz.

[@danielwelton6429]

@@thebigoutsidemtb I know they’re in Santa Cruz. Got some trail names for me ?

[@paulwintermute1495]

I have NEVER heard of anyone doing 10 laps at UC! For anyone unfamiliar, I'm reasonably fit and 3 or 4 laps is my max on an acoustic MTB. Doing 10 is unheard of! Your fitness is insane!! Time to start collecting metals on the C.E.S.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

There is one other person I follow on Strava that I've seen do 10+ laps, and it inspired me, haha. I only ride once a week, so doing 10 laps gets my money's worth 😅 I've been doing a lot of strength training, and believe it or not, I'm doing my first CES race this year (northstar enduro to be exact)

[@shr3dderg4ming59]

Man I barely made it from kresge to sweetness and then up uconn I though I was gonna pass out

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

@@shr3dderg4ming59 That's alright! Takes time on the bike to get stronger and used to the climb. The more you ride it, the more efficient you will be. Keep on riding brotha, you will get stronger in due time.

[@Kook___]

@aidan_bikes did like 14 or smthn. 10 laps is a solid day but definitely not unheard of. He races road and xc tho

[@noahhall1270]

is your dad rocken a bike

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

No. He is rocking a scooter

[@blkriqan]

Youre sik bro

[@alexescalante5470]

you should always state that you are on an ebike.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

I'm not... I'm riding a Santa Cruz Bronson.

[@psclassy1123]

No steeps that I could see.

[@thebigoutsidemtb]

Bro, come and ride it and you’re going to piss your pants. It’s crazy steep IRL.

[@MrDeseanmoore]

@psclassy1123 The camera does these trails no justice. I ride here, trust me, they’re STEEP!
