XC Bombers: Ethan Villaneda on Mt Wilson Toll Rd

[@marcstauffenberg8599]

Hi Safa, you can't understand how happy these videos make me. I have little time available lately because I'm graduating in medicine and, among many commitments, I had to put aside for a while the xc which is one of my greatest passions. I watch your videos when I get home in the evening and I feel like I'm on a bike with you, my mirror neurons thank you !!

[@SAFABrian]

🙌 Someone needs to be able to fix the crashed xc riders. Hope you get to ride again soon.

[@33R3X]

@@SAFABrian lol😅

[@lancegibson1343]

You’ve got me trying to figure out how to fit another bike in my apartment. I need a xc bike this looks like heaven

just what I was thinking

[@mcalc]

The content just keeps getting better and better! Nice one Safa!

[@UpperEchelon8]

I used to be more into cars still am. But when suddenly one day i came across safa’s downhill video and got so excited, didnt even knew y could do so much exciting stuff with a cycle. I got hooked and started researching more about cycles, gears there types etc. Now im so addicted to cycling and safa’s videos. My most favourite video of safa is the one with Dante young. It’s just perfect. 😎👍🏻

[@vialactea5549]

And it gets more fun the more fit and skilled you will be getting for sure!

[@poloreacts27]

same!

[@inspiredtotired8369]

Just amazing bike skills and reactions from both of you. I can imagine it's more difficult to follow someone that close, than being in front. As you need to reaction to the track and also to their movements.

[@MrJasonodonnell]

Guys super agile, I really like the way he is constantly testing, pumping and reinforcing the feel of his bike

[@marketmavin3890]

That was a real nice! So jelly. That kid is going to be something else if he doesn't destroy himself!

[@rudiberden1088]

I did this ride just last Sunday. It took me 3 1/2 hours to get up and only 30 minutes to get down. Lots of fun and worth the suffering. Good thing they had apple pie at the cafe on the top.

[@SAFABrian]

The Cafe was closed when we got up there 😉

[@akosirolandr]

Do you guys have a trail map link you can share. I'm planning to do this in a few weeks. Thanks in advance. Awesome video!

I love my Scott spark it’s unbelievably fast everywhere and keeps up with the road bikes around town :) looks like awesome fun!!!

[@pedrovalemoreira8828]

This youth is crazy!

[@aspenwagon04]

I was not riding like this at 17 years old. Good for this guy.

[@fishkingify]

Years ago I rode a trail down from the top that was marked " use at your own risk ". It was very narrow single track with a lot of off camber shit. Much more narrow than what you guys are on with some insane drop offs. Was a little nerve racking but one hell of a lot of fun.

[@bretgreenfield1511]

Pretty impressive, tail wips!!! Actually very impressive!

[@hazwandyakir9866]

Much respect to the both of you 👍👍👌👌 There's so much to process during the ride with little time to even react but you guys made it look like it was nothing. Cheers to you guys for the sick content😊😊

[@SKBKER]

The first video of yours I've watched all the way through . this is epic .

[@markhoffmann5941]

This video brought back some memories.. We used to ride down Mt Wilson road on Schwinn Sting Rays back around 1975 :)

[@emericaskater918]

More "XC Bombers" videos please and thank you!

[@justinf7674]

Thank God this wasn't on a gravel bike! The dirt tracking foot out cracked me up, lean that bike over you'll be fine! Epic ride gents

[@emmetholton1489]

lurkin the strava looks like without the flat you'd have pulled second on the descent, pretty intense for how loose ethan looked

[@zp4j]

The BIke handling is sick!! well played :)

[@ArtFalcon]

Damn, you guys were shredding hard! That looked hella fun!! Nice!!! 🤘🤘

[@カロル-l6q]

Such smoothness

[@StevenJaceWhittemore]

Another sweet video! I really like all the manuals and nose manuals and the seat grab @19:03 is really sweet but I do worry about how much speed y'all carry and the lines y'all take into blind corners, I've noticed most every pro including in motorsports does similar but I know a safer and faster way but I think people are scared of me going pro and their paychecks possibly going down lol but like I said you could totally help me go pro I'm sure you can sense that I'm being serious lol just a shame that nobody's given me a shot yet...

[@쪽빛-z1h]

very good riding, safa. thank you.

[@jstannard23]

great sound on this, well done

[@sam61480]

That was pretty dangerous, had me sweatin 😅

[@kay1975]

What?

[@robociock]

Dream track, so poppy and jumpy on those small travel light beasts

[@magnate2372]

Thrilling video SAFA! Thank you and Ethan for taking us along for the shred session.

[@Sambsamb-ix9ox]

[@mitch8210]

[@SAFABrian]

😂😂 The channel is free but the side effects are costly.

[@TITOWO]

Crazy 180's!

[@MTB-Portugal]

Amazing video. Cheers from Portugal.

[@Halseb]

Dang! That looked amazing.

[@princeemman0912]

keep safe bros so good down hill trip of bike im enjoying watching

[@Planetone.]

I remember grinding up this toll rd. on my mtn bike, it is tuff! Rather much do it again on my gravel, to bad the trails up there are closed right now☹

[@viralfire]

Coming down on your gravel bike won't be as nice as this.

[@Planetone.]

Riding my mtn. bike down was fun! Just the first time riding up was tough, I don't mind the sacrifice decending on a gravel though.

[@chriskoutroulis4531]

One of you best videos! Would love to know how the brain system feels on the new specialised models. Seemed to be pretty smooth.

[@amineroadbikerider1504]

what an amazing video . waiting for another xc video....

[@carloramirez5246]

This video is giving me a heart attack! Nice ride! :D

[@jsey12]

Good stuff! Hope you do more xc videos.

[@jasonjacob402]

Lovely episode

[@jesusperez-ow4rr]

Exelente video ,saludos desde México

[@vlado29]

I love my Scott Addict RC road bike (the same as SAFA had last year, with yellow decals), but bought Specialized Epic Evo as this year's MTB, sorry Scott but the simplicity of Specialized wins over the Scott integration of everything :) (the bike is amazing btw)

[@iRyan876]

Saf! Lets get some XC Bombers stickers!

[@draganciricfox]

Amazing! Way to go

[@slipywoah9219]

some of your stickers just arrived, much love from australia

[@erod6468]

Hit up Hulda crooks, has many trails. It's fun, flowy and steep of you want it.

[@madyogi6164]

Nice flying!!!

[@RenageTV]

"are we going back up!?", Driving up there made me nervous, I couldn't imagine being one of the bikers I saw climbing up to the top. Balls....serious balls.

[@-locdog.]

Wow this looks brilliant 👌

[@Poopoo24216]

You did it bro! You got a mtb!

[@MatthewReiser123]

9.0 miles in 23.5 minutes = 23 mph (avg) = crazy fast for that route! Rode this in 1988 ... much more slowly. Elevation change: 4400'

[@Snowman8251]

Oh to be 17 again!!!

[@LRF49]

That's it. I was going to get the Scott Spark 910. Eff that. I'm getting the Scott Spark team issue AXS.

[@tyren818]

[@JL-od4wg]

What a beautiful place...

[@skatelife4197]

Ethans mom watching this: 👁👄👁

[@vinits165]

Casual thursday morning snake bunny hop.

[@Tedroy]

My mom would drop us kids off at the top of Mt. Wilson in her station wagon in 1970. I was 12. We could fit 3 stingrays and 3 kids. We'd bomb the fire road and she'd bomb the crest to meet back up with us at Eaton Canyon. We were moto kids emulating Brad Lackey and Roger DeCoster. Funny how popular mountain biking became.

[@divyeshpatil6519]
