Downieville: A Mountain Bike Capital

[@Laurie0]

Really nice video. As a bonus: your hotel is on the Downie River, but you can literally turn your head and see the confluence of the Downie and North Yuba River...hence the Forks. TWO rivers flowing through town!! It's a dream spot!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for the tips! I remember that! Cheers!

[@vcc1534]

I was there during the fires at the end of August. It was a bit smokey and hot but the ride was still epic. My brothers stayed at the Carriage House and the best part was hanging out on the patio after with a cold one! Will come more prepared next time with some trail snacks (and maybe demo an e-bike from the local shop) as the few short climbs will kick your butt!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Good stuff Ted!

[@dirttdude]

town has a vibe to it forsure and the trail has this zen thing most of the way down, its like you're hovering above the trail like superman

[@ernestjohnson4436]

Beautiful trail would love to ride that one day. Also just wanted to say thx for the jersey i got it today. And it really good quality.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Great to hear!

[@CaliradoKid]

This vid turned out great! Stoked we all got a chance to play hooky and come ride with you. It's always a good day when you're riding Downieville.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks Joe!!! Such a rad day man. 👊 Hi!👋🏼

[@bmarsico123]

Grew up fishing the rivers and runoffs there. Didn’t mtn bike then, but would always pick up hitchhiking bikers before the days of shuttle buses circa late 90s early 2000s have since moved away but Hope to ride it someday.

[@jontg429]

Great video, and definitely prime conditions! Looks it just rained so you got some hero dirt and little to no dust, which is a problem out there in the summer. Can't wait to see your next vid man, keep them coming!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks 👍!

[@johnblackham4443]

Good lines and good form equals good speed . Nice ride !!!!!!!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👊☺️

[@ahouston9]

I went here a few weeks ago, the Outfitters in town said they didn't want to close the shop to give me a ride. There were no shuttles, you can not go here and just go for a ride unless you ride up the downhill. No ride, I left.. rude dude at the shop.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Yikes sorry to hear that.

[@chrisnelson6991]

My favorite place in California. I worked today. Your day was clearly better then mine. Thanks for sharing. Here is to keeping the rubber side downie!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thank you! You too!

[@Uncagedmtb]

Great Video!! Just added Downieville to my must ride list.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks!

[@workhorsemtb7075]

I lived 2 hours from there for years and never knew about the trails. Need to get back there, looks amazing

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Get it!

[@LexMartinMusic]

That ride looks so rad! Downieville is definitely going on the bucket list.

[@jontg429]

Do it man, I have ridden it three times and every time is a blast!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

You should!

[@ChefIan73]

The production level on your videos has gone through the roof! I NEED to get to Downieville.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thank you!

[@donbenincasa7442]

You looked nice and relaxed on the waterfall 🔥

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👊

[@ScoutsOut]

Video came out sick, such a rad adventure and town!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks bud!

[@briangong007]

Great video Tony. I see your running a Secus also.. I love mine!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Same! Thanks man! 👊

[@BrianVaughn]

OK, I need to get back to Downieville next year. I had such a good time out there at Biker camp. Great video!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

You should! Thanks buddy!

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Looks like so much fun Tony

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

TWAS!

[@paullittleton1974]

Always great to ride along vicariously through you - great video :)

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@1AceDeuce]

Place is dope. Kudos to Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Agreed!

[@1AceDeuce]

@@TheOutsiderMTB Mt. Hough and Graeagle also have some great shuttle rides not too far from there. Unfortunately got it bad with the dixie fire recently :(.

[@beanburnham01]

Going on Thursday for the annual trip!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Say hello from me!!!!

[@mattbacola1227]

Sic vid! You charged those lines!👍💪

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks Matt!

[@sdtrailrider8070]

Great riding and vibe. Only issue I had was few dinning options open midweek. Bring food if you are traveling at an off peak time!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Totally. I got hit with that as well. Haha 👊

[@WildMeff]

Epic video Outsider - hope you jumped in the river after. I remember when I rode this my brakes needed a bleed (which I found out mid ride), and on Third Divide I was pulling brake all the way to the handlebar basically and almost still going too fast. Good stuff!!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Oh wow!

[@dannythompsonadventures]

Beautiful!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MTBRadDad]

I gotta get up there one of these days

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👍

[@B1KER]

Good stuff man! It’s always fun seeing someone else’s view of that place. We had some epic dirt while you were in town as well. Can’t wait to shred with you again in Sedona. 🤘

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks bud! See you soon!

[@anthonycordero5733]

I used to fish the yuba back in the seventies...

[@donbenincasa7442]

It’s so flowy 🤗🥰✌🏼❤️🍺

[@pauls3616]

Trails look amazing. How late in the season can you ride these trails before the weather gets too bad? Thanks Tony.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Until the snow makes things unridable, so probably a few more weeks.

[@leahboone5776]

We rode last ride in 2019. That was on Nov 24…tiny bit of ice on the waterfall section.

[@mattbacola1227]

They just got hit with a couple feet of snow. They’re done for the season

[@frankstella7508]

How cool is that town, I want to retire there and ride into my twilight years.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

So good!

[@anthonycordero5733]

Bike right to your room at the end of the day hell yeahhhh.....

[@brentv7299]

Amazing ride Tony! (Someday I'll get there...)

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Do it!

[@AdamMock]

Man that intro was top shelf! You constantly put it the work on editing and it shows. The riding was icing on the cake. BTW, is the stem on your Jeffsy crooked, turned a bit to the right? Or is it just me? ✌🏼🤟🏼

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for that! I'll check the bars, but not something I noticed.

[@GravityEscapades]

Rad trails! And place.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

True!

[@johnglynn7795]

Tony, greetings from Samui. Thanks for sharing your ride in the nostalgic town of Downieville! Decided on selling my manual Yeti and building a Specialized E Bike. Are they welcome in Downieville?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Hey John - love it. And yep it’s very welcome. ✔️

[@EnlistedTrailHeads]

The amount of epicness in that ride almost didn't fit on screen lol.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Haha ❤️👊😉

[@yzlvr]

Tony, are all trails ebike friendly?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Yessir!

[@russellparrish4529]

Great video. Headed to Downieville next weekend with friends, can't wait! Your drone shots were great, what drone do you use? Looks like Skydio footage, I was thinking of bringing my Skydio drone, do you recommend it? Is flying drones in the area allowed?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

I have a Skydio. Thanks! Not sure but I just did threw it up there.

[@russellparrish4529]

@@TheOutsiderMTB I'm with you on the ask for forgiveness > permission. Okay, I'll bring it 👍

[@chadbeckstrom3627]

Looks rad! Was that primarily downhill from the shuttle drop, or any significant climbs in between?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Yep there’s quite a bit of pedaling - but so much fun.

[@dasanoneia4730]

The waterfall is running wet.....yeah you dont say lol

[@1tradesecret]

Wow! I ran outta talent just watching

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Haha
