Training Ride with Dante Young - Topanga

[@kalilebron007]

Dante's got those track legs.

[@heidisaul5671]

Yes..nice legs

[@ChuckD59]

Legs that make drivetrains weep.

[@chickenleg123]

I think he used to ride on the track, or at least fixed gear for leader bikes

[@alexm1841]

You may be talking about track cycling… but I ran track and field, collegiately, and he’s definitely built like a pro sprinter.

[@sirehan1002]

But where’s dante old

[@jeffbrenner6114]

I can watch Dante ride all day. So smooth - a lot of little things you can pick up

[@tdmbro2]

Dante singing along to his music while riding is me

[@flact75]

Good stuff, funny he mentioned no one waving. A couple minutes in I'm like "Why is no one waving back at the dude?". I wave at everyone, even recumbent riders.

[@capunzel5859]

Waving back and saying hello should be normal etiquette for every outdoor enthusiast :(

[@jcsrst]

Right on dude! Just happy to be riding!

[@blackjack-bd3jb]

I only wave 50% of the time on tough climbs. On descents the most I might give is a nod, but otherwise I like to have 100% attention on the road.

[@JimboJonas]

I still say good morning to every rider, well past noon.

[@brauljo]

Recumbents ftw

[@JitinMisra]

The data and graphics, and then the camera view, makes me feel like im in grand theft auto LOL,

[@malaysiadentist4637]

What equipment is he using.... simply incredible

[@BluGiant14]

Ha! Too true. Didn't think of that til I read your comment.

I am looking at this video before going on a ride with my son. Citizen of Trinidad and Tobago the most southerly island of the Caribbean 🇹🇹

[@eliteharrington7377]

Trinidad and Tobago is fantastic for cycling presently. With the dry season approaching it'll get better up until May June.

[@brandtjmorris]

Fellow Trini here. Never rode at home but would love too. Where do you ride? Can't wait to get on the road in spring plus got a new bike.

[@hiranom20]

Another Trini here, with a penchant for riding his mtb anywhere it can go lol! 🇹🇹💯🔥

[@paperodiabolicovideo]

That bike looks SO good... and light... and bloody expensive!

[@JitinMisra]

I think it is 13k USD, if you check on specialized website

[@davidpeters4914]

Great to see a brother killing it! Love what you're doing with Legion...keep up the good work!

[@andrewhanlonwbu]

He isn’t with legion anymore

[@patrickmurray8886]

@@andrewhanlonwbu do you know why he isn’t?

[@andrewhanlonwbu]

@@patrickmurray8886 he got dropped on the basis of a “lack of funding” he made a post on his IG a while ago. Seemed like a bit of a rough separation but seems to have a lot of offers elsewhere though

i love waving and smiling at all the riders i see , i just started riding 5 month ago

[@mincehogan9508]

as always Safa brilliant entertainment, thanks so much......

[@SAFABrian]

Our pleasure!

[@audieali9556]

This is just great!!! I’m officially moving to the west coast. I’m over the cold smh!

[@timothym7472]

Do it, I am quite north of here in the PNW...but left the South last year for various reasons. The West Coast has the bike communities and the rides for a new biking addict like myself. Lease is up in March, getting into the city more, and parking the car and going biking for the foreseeable future:) Stay safe and warm!

[@ashtongilbert]

@@timothym7472 You in Oregon like me?

[@danielduvernay3207]

He looks so casual waving on the descents, I'd be putting my hand back on that handlebar asap.

[@ItsJaeLaw]

Right. 😂

[@harrylook7810]

I'm with Dante on waving. What's with all the anti-social roadies??

[@paulbradford6475]

Sad but true: many cyclists are outright snobs. It never hurts to wave at someone, especially little kids.

[@wiir138]

Too busy training for that Cat 6 crit lol

[@cliffcox7643]

I dont think they're being snobs. I think they're at their limit ,as far as an amateur can be, and see nothing, cause their brains are lost in a wilderness of pain. so they see blurs of people riding by, but have no energy to wave.. Whereas someone who strong, such as this fellow can leisurely say hello cause he's not at his limit.

[@artificialbox]

I would always wave back at someone but I don't generally go out of my way to greet other cyclists. The same way I don't wave at every other pedestrian on the sidewalk. Idk.. just because we both ride bikes doesn't mean we have a special connection LOL

[@deltagchemistry12]

Seriously we’re all on the road facing the same obstacles let’s enjoy the community

[@nmgn]

Dante friendly waving in a curve at 40 miles per hour to his fellow cyclist in the other direction.

[@2120musiclover]

Facts. It’s nice to hear from a pro

[@Bayo106]

I found this one quite interesting. Thank you I like how close you were to him. I understand your motorcyclist friend probabaly can't be that close to you when filming you but it looks better when its close

[@trinipee]

Before I knew who he was, I tried to buy a helmet off of Dante on Facebook Marketplace but he never replied 😂 to know that I could have met Dante and owned his old helmet still gets me 😭

[@KoIP85]

Wtf his Bikeis nice. But the Leg Muscles are KILLER oO nice clip Safa!!! :)))

[@johnmanuel7561]

Great collab. Always envious of your roads. Lol.

It sucks when people don't wave back 🙁

[@EveryDayLifeChannel9777]

I really don't care if they wave back or not, just like speaking to someone when you're walking down the street and they don't say anything!

[@jcsrst]

@@EveryDayLifeChannel9777 I wish I had your attitude! It annoys me.

[@industryrule-4080]

Maybe it’s a testament to my poor handling skills but seeing Dante wave to others while carving a downhilll turn at 35mph seems nuts to me. Also, hearing him say the uphill stuff sucks while he rockets up with a 37-28 😂.

75km per hour. I got a thrill just watching him at that speed. 😯😯

[@BLKnPrd67]

I'm sure everyone noticed that he was waving while going down hill. That's much easier than grinding and mashing on an incline where you need both hands.

So when exactly do they take a swig of the water I’m asking for myself because I be tired 😂. Also I get the no wave back because I’m definitely one of those people & it’s not intentional it more for my safety as I don’t control my bike that good with 1 hand at any point because the bikes so light 😬🤷🏽‍♀️. So sorry if I’m going up hill I know for certain I’m not gonna wave back and going down hill 😬

[@jonathanvillarruel5642]

What are they using to communicate?

[@timmzey]

About half of the people I wave to on the road don't wave back. I always thought it's because I'm on a gravel bike with XC baggies but I guess it's just that some roadies just don't wave. Hey Dante, If I don't wave to you first you can expect a wave back every time!

[@BrotherlyLove12]
