Santiago Oaks x Chutes Ridgeline Trail Guide | Mountain Biking Southern California

[@SickfoosMTB]

Came here today to tear it up and realized when I got back from the trail I didn't have my Subaru car key! I must have dropped it on my way in. Luckily someone was nice enough to place it on a rock next to my car. Wow! Whoever you are thank you 🍻

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

That’s awesome - love that.

[@chrissahagun4803]

Your guides are awesome man! 3 years later and still super helpful! You got me back into mountain biking

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Sweet!!

[@chrissahagun4803]

@@TheOutsiderMTB I’m really excited to hit this trail! Going riding tomorrow with a buddy and just watched 3 of your trail guides haha. Going here first and if we feel up for it, going to ladera ranch afterwards! Knowing from my past you make these trails look easier than they are 😅. But I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun

[@montano171]

Nice! I like how you guide us (the viewers ) on the trails it really helps specially for beginners like me

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Great to hear - expect more weekly! And let me know if you have a suggestion you'd like to see a trail guide video on.

[@roylavender3433]

Great video! Hitting Disneyland tomorrow- then Tuesday hitting the trails from this video! Thanks for the guide!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks!

[@AdamMock]

Man, this vid may be a year old but it's still gold. Watched it this morning and then headed to Oaks where I had a blast! So grateful for this trail guide as it really helped me wrap my head around this network of trails. Thank you!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Great to hear Adam. This was one of my first vids. Hard for me to watch now haha. Appreciate the kind words buddy. 👍

[@harki00]

After looking at this video I’m definitely going there tomorrow. Awesome video

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

👊

[@timmummert63]

I lived in OPA until 2021. We used to ride all of those trails weekly.

[@donaldduck4867]

I’m glad you made this video. I was guna go there next weekend to try it out. After seeing this I think I’m guna stick to Fullerton loop for a little more practice.See how I feel next year. Thanks again for the awesome videos. BTW, that tree did jump out at you. Luckily it was small. Stay safe Outsider!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Haha thanks Donald. Fave fun out there.

[@DroppingIn]

Love your style off narrating during the ride!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks Jesus! Appreciate you watching and sticking around!

[@Chapelron]

Thanks, I was gathering info for the trail. Got to have the most fun possible.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

You got that right!

[@MapleBar777]

Went today for the first time. That place is friggin awesome! Going back tomorrow! Definitely recommend walking down rock sections first. Tried to go slow blind and had to stop at some drops I didn't realize were there. So fun!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

[@MapleBar777]

@@TheOutsiderMTB Thanks for making these videos, Tony. I've been discovering these new places from watching you and MTB Alan, so Thanks again and keep up the good work. I'm having a blast!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

✔️👊

[@A.Gil1]

Great job! I have never been there but will be going soon, this really hepls!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinkubota868]

Checked it out today, great advice! How do you like to get back to the top of Chutes? I took Anaheim Hills and got crushed in the steeps going up. You skip over how you got from Grasshopper to Chutes in the video.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

I get that. I climbed up Goat. I plan on doing another vid that goes more in depth. Thanks fo watching Kevin.

[@micheleyoung1878]

Another great video! I'm not brave enough (or skilled enough NGL) to do any more than the ride from Irvine Regional into Santiago Oaks and stick to the tamer areas in both parks, so watching you tackle them is really a lot of fun. Keep up the great work! :)

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

We all have to start somewhere. Stick with it & thanks for the compliments!

[@DrewsPools]

Check out Troy Lee Trail/Skyline Drive in Corona! There is a fire road that winds all the way up to the Doppler Dome and some fun tech-y single track that cuts through the valley on the way down.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Good to know!!

[@Keithmeister9]

Tony, great guide as always, i followed your video on Fullerton loop and I have been going there a lot lately. It's time to give Oaks a try. Thanks again 👊

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Awesome and have fun out there!

[@martinchousa]

I did Santiago hundreds time, and never took Yucca and Grasshopper, I will do next time, Thanks Tony

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

There's Hawk trail at the top of Grasshopper too. I'm thinking of doing another video here soon.

[@Frost-n-Criss]

Headed here Wednesday morning for a ride before I drive to Or Thursday

[@TheChenchola]

I love your bike!!!!!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks - I've got a different one now. ☺️

Love this trail

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

One of my favs.

[@travis8592]

Fail at 13:00 LOL this is awesome though I'm heading out tomorrow. Was going to pay the $5 and do the parking at the park but I try the vons lot instead

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Ha nice - yeah I park inside now with the fee. Restrooms and chill safe parking lots. Enjoy!

[@speedshiftart1465]

Love the vids 👍👍. Is that Horseshoe that you took from the Irvine parking lot to Oaks? It looks like there are a couple different trails to get there.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks - I'm not sure I think it's called Roadrunner loop though on the sign.

[@ivanj7785]

sick vid bro. Do a Smoothies ride. Thanks

[@basedchris8784]

Have you ever parked at Anaheim Hills Elementary and gone the back way in? Free parking and pretty close to the peak with the flag.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Nope never gone in that way. Good call.

[@MTBr-of-SoCal]

wow the quality of your shots are much crisper. I just did it (same trail) and mine is sorta blurry, even thought I uploaded it as a 1080p

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Always upload in 4k because KZbin downgrades the quality in every upload. 😉

[@jigworx6020]

Yo Outsider! Your vids motivated me and a buddy to get bikes and hit some trails! Weve hit fullerton loop twice and want to step it up a notch. Do you think Santiago Oaks would be a good next step up? The order we're thinking is Fullerton Loop --> Santiago Oaks --> Laguna Beach.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Awesome! I'd suggest Marshall Canyon next if you've seen any of those vids. Oaks can get rowdy on the Chutes descent. Let me know what you think!

[@jeh1950]

Hey Tony What is the music at the ever start of this video ?? I can't find it and when I Shazam it it comes up with something from Sophie Noonan ?? Love the beat to it. Cheers

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

This is just a tune from KZbin's free audio library. Glad you like it John.

[@ivannavarro6569]

what is your set up for your go pro ? Thanks !!! sick video! nice how you help us beginner bikers!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Hi Ivan - I use the GoPro Hero 4 with an EVO SS Gimbal. Glad you're liking the vids!

[@rufinrl02]

Nice! thanks for sharing. I just sub your channel.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Welcome and thanks for sticking around!

[@M.E.Cyclist]

Have you ever gotten crap for parking in that lot? I am going to start riding there after work but it says "No Unauthorized Parking". Just wondering if you ever got bothered or ticketed for it. From what I can see it's usually pretty empty in that back corner. Thanks man!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Nope but if I can I park in the park and pay the fee and use the restrooms to support OC Parks now. 👊

[@dinkerman27]

Hey Tony do you have an exact location on that Albertson or parking location.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Yes sir. Right here David: Address: 8440 E Chapman Ave, Orange, CA 92869

Thanks man

[@themtbproject1422]

Hi nice video How long is the climb back up ? 10 /15 min? Just wondering how many runs can you do it usually?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Depends where your climbing from. No more than 20.

[@eugenegutierrez5106]

I don’t know how you can ride middle of sunny weather like that. These are my backyard. I come here a lot but early morning.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

I try not to these days haha.

[@AydensFootballTalk]

9:10 I live in orange go on these trails and just to correct you its not Youcca its yucca

[@explorandolugaresturistico7631]

Cool friend

[@cencoast_7.340]

So I know where that shopping center is. Would that be the starting point to go Down Chutes or is that the top?

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

The shopping center where you park is at the bottom of the loop and park. You can also park in Irvine regional park and they have restrooms. From there you pedal up Chutes into the trail system. The video should show you exactly.

[@hunek12]

What is the address where you parked? Planning to go here on Saturday..

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

I park now at Irvine regional park.

[@hunek12]

@@TheOutsiderMTB Thanks! You're the best Tony!

is that the parking lot across from collage?

Kinda yeah - Albertsons.

[@l.b.mckenzie3496]

I am on my way to california right now from Michigan is there any signs for trails or just have to learn it

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Some signs but mostly from memory and using the Mtb project app.

no ticket? I usually pay into irvine park

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Nope. You can do either or.

cool video bro. +1 sub.

[@lmc333]

It would have been even more helpful if you indicated the loops you rode on a map.... I too like to visualize my ride on a map before pedalling... I don't like to be riding into the unknown....

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

[@TheDickster88]

Support you local parks and just pay the $3-5 entry fee. We can all afford it based on the bikes I see out there.

It’s yucca not uuca

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Good catch - I missed that spelling mistake. Thanks for watching Ryder.

[@thomashernandez4027]

This is not the best way to loop it. You should park on Santiago oaks canyon rd and windes. Take windes down into the park parking lot. Witch will charge you to park down there if you want to be a bit closer. Then continue on and climb up the three bitches to the top. Then an epic downhill. Plus you can loops different ways down.

[@oscars7948]

Trails looked loosy goosey

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Depends on the time of year for sure.
