Strictly Business - Mt. Wilson Red Box descent

This is a sketchy road with loads of rocks that are the same colour as the road surface, a lot of shade hiding those rocks even further, countless cracks, and deep sand on the edge.
Right after I filmed the Wrecking Crew on Hwy 2 film ( • Wrecking Crew on Hwy 2... ) with Chris and Taylor I snuck back up solo to Mt. Wilson to take a crack at the the observatory road. Chris had the fastest time down there so I thought I give him a nice surprise and snipe it an hour after we'd just filmed the Hwy 2 ride together.
Since filming this (late 2022) it has been repaved with a silky smooth pitch black surface so maybe we'll head back together and set a new fastest time while holding hands.
Thanks to Alex for filming ( / alex_colorito )

Absolutely crushed this ride!!! Gotta be careful coming down this mountain at those speeds. Very impressive 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏆🎊🎉

[@huttonsdubai411]

I did that ride last week. Came up Mount Lowe on gravel bike and down this decent. So beautiful.

[@Justin_Bikes]

i absolutely love watching descents like these while eating lunch at work lol

[@whatsuphonkycat]

"its a lot smoother on the other side"- whispered the Reaper

[@fucktheworld1207]

Laying here in Liverpool, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 watching your video, no bike riding for me for a while, i was hit by a Ford transit van 6 day's ago 🤬

[@peterhuber659]

Got sea sick alone from watching... Insane ride! Bike and rider perfectly matched!

[@nelbertricafort8265]

Wow Awesome ride & spectacular scenery along the way so beautiful.

[@sanaez]

❤ это классное видео приятно смотреть в холодный осенний день, когда за окном идёт дождь😊

[@brewed544]

Back on a wild SAFA Brian ride NICE!!!

[@kbless711]

Used to watch your old mexico city vids all the time. Recently started riding seriously again and always watch a video of yours for stoke before a ride. Cheers mate.

[@enriquee.k3329]

Very impressive bro, stay safe, love your videos ❤

[@gabebikes]

Always enjoy seeing a new video. Nice!

[@andrerodriguez7603]

After decades of descending Redbox to foothill. I never encountered thousands of rocks. Anyway, the commentary made for a dramatic video. 👍🏻😉

[@mykola_kanyuk]

great ride, nice mountains!

[@jmadjojo]

What exciting ride & nice Jersey ✨✨✨✨✨✨🤩

[@madyogi6164]

Great ride!😵‍💫

[@AtakanCOBAN54]

It was incredibly dangerous but incredibly beautiful, my friend. Congratulations. The route was great. Greetings from Türkiye. I continue to follow and recommend dear Brian. Ride on... #safabrian

There is nothing like Safa on this planet 🚀 One of the very few channels I use the YT notificaiton bell 🔔

[@SAFABrian]

Appreciate you!

[@nrb5]

Incredible

[@Lvlup2234]

cool as always

[@thomasadamian]

I was at one of the turnouts for the weekly Golden Hour meetup and I think I caught you flying by a few weeks ago in your maroon fit.. Love what you do Safa!

[@jasonjacob402]

Excellent Padel work though 👏

[@JayLato]

I have the Addict RC and the latest Foil RC. I tend to gravitate towards the Addict RC as it simply feels more fun.

[@SAFABrian]

The Addict is more playful. The Foil is all about the business of going fast. I go between phases of riding each one. We're lucky to have the option.

[@JanSenderek]

Really love your videos, thanks for sharing! Curious to hear what software you're using to record and add telemetry data to your videos?

[@johnnydallas9212]

Rad Mann 🤙

[@aaronwilson3952]

All that tar patching makes it a little difficult to see debris. Just wondering if Big tujunga from the 2 in L.A. county would be good?

[@SuperClark.18]

Love your videos! What software do you use to overlay the stats from the ride?

[@lennywillcox5957]

I would also be interested in what software you use for your overlays, I was using the Virb Edit but it isn't working anymore and Garmin isn't supporting the software and won't fix it. I am currently trying Telemetry Overlay but I'm not really liking it.

[@youngminchun4267]

Does anyone know which software Safa uses to overlay cycling data on his videos? I have been using Garmin VIRB, but this software doesn't export 4K video. And I can't find the power output overlay in Telemetry software.

[@anony-ic3pz]

This makes me very nervous when cutting an outside curve in the left lane and when the vision is impaired. 2:10

[@leeeeigh796]

How do you film these? I can't work out of bike motorcycle or car following?

[@alexanderasdf2742]

This one looks like another cyclist was following him. Can't hear an engine.

[@gangstreG123]

@@alexanderasdf2742 Safa is wearing the mic pack which is why you hear him speaking. Alex was filming so probably bike but he does drive moto too

[@leeeeigh796]

@@alexanderasdf2742 the line around the corner differ and the camera gets dropped and catches up. though it might be a motorcycle with a camera on a boom? Might be a good topic for another film

[@dan4466]

I’ve always figured another on a bicycle since some of the videos you see him at the end of descend when they stop

[@MrTrooper84]

Мужик, неужели ты не разу не падал? У тебя стальные яйца

[@TomDeLombaerde]

about as fast as Remco Evenepoel on his TT bike on the flats

[@jonasosa5126]

Yeah ok

[@abone2pick]

Without the narcissist attitude tho

[@bicivini]

🙄

[@notreally2406]

and faster than him on the descents

[@TomDeLombaerde]

@@notreally2406 he does fall quickly in the ravine

[@byc1013]

what's your protocol?

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

Nice conditions, would not recommend it when the snow is thawing and the trees are shedding their needles.

[@mariocipollini1998]

Second!

[@Jay-nt2ew]

so this was filmed in late 2022?

[@amgokan]

Sometime before October, it had been repaved by the time I was there in late Oct

[@nurialco3303]

2:40 i like this part of the road very much. Perfect for slalomy yummy 😅

[@tinatpasselepoivre]
