Great vids as always. I watched your OMAD vid back in December and decided to go the intermittent fasting route,. I’m 5’8” and was 183, today at 161. I do a 16/8 keeping calories ~1750 wile keeping macros at 45 for protein, 35 carbs and 20 fat. Lost 21 pounds and feel great at 57 and still bombing the trails with the young guys. Love watching you and Alex together. I visit Newport regularly and will look up your restaurant next time in town, late April or mid May. Keep pumping out the cool vids. Cheers
Hell yeah! That's so awesome 🤘 congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing that, it really pumps me up, I am sure you will inspire so many of your friends and family to do the same 🙏
Tommy Huynh t_wrex_mtb Yep, already did. I have 5 work colleagues on the intermittent fasting lifestyle and in total we have dropped 120/lbs. just think, this was all because I was checking out mountain bike videos and ran across you, started following you and saw your OMAD vid. Originally I thought OMAD was a trail or another brand of bike...🤣
@@Mooneys512 thats amazing! Intermittent Fasting and OMAD has changed my life in such a positive way and I feel so obligated to share my experience with as many people as I can, your story is exactly why I do! Thanks again for sharing 🙏
Can't believe those kids had their bikes laying across Barham on a blind turn... That could have been bad. Love seeing other riders progress, great coaching and great video!
Thanks Calvin, yeah that was not good on their part, luckily no one got hurt. Too bad you couldn't make it, as you can see I still don't know my way around Santiago Oaks. Lol
Hey Bro, that was super cool the way you coached that Rider on the drop. Props to you for taking the time. If you ever find yourself in the San Diego area, be glad to show you trails. Respect.
I rode Chutes last Sunday and was riding up to sketchballz when there was a huge orange snake in the path. I thought it was a stick and nearly killed it until it coiled up and tried to take a shot at me. Stay safe dude!
Do you have snacks through out the day? Or just one meal and that's it? In my culture, you become a monk for awhile for your parents. I did it and had 2 meals a day and that was rough for me! And it was only for 2 months!
Absolutely no snacks, all I have during my fast is water. In the morning I drink green tea (no sugar). It's not easy especially for me that I own a restaurant and around food all day but I am very disciplined and stay focused on my goals.
That was awesome haha, my local trails are overgrown too. Amazing how those grasses can grow 4 ft. In a week. Ps day one of one meal could not eat much so wish me luck for day two.
The first 2 weeks are the hardest, my suggestion is to eat as much veggies as possible. Also you should stop eating processed carbs like bread and pasta which has no nutrition and get you full too fast.
We actually had plans to ride there when he was here last month but it was snowed out. There are a bunch of trails that I still need to show him the next time he comes back to SoCal.
I don't use trail forks but eventually Alex had to bust it out on Waterfall. We we're fine on all the trails except for Waterfall because we missed a couple turns, the trail splits alot and I have only ridden it 2 other times. I'm always following and recording so I really never lead or pay attention to the trails.
Hell Yeah Brotha Thanks for keeping it real 💯. You didn’t get lost just exploring new terrains✊🏽 Riding with Single Track Sampler & David... Getting some crashes in too 😜. I rode With Shredder David he is a Solid Dude 🤘🏽
Thanks brotha 🤘 I always keep it real. Yeah David is super cool for real. That's so dope you guys met at my restaurant and have gone riding with each other. 👌
@@danielmedina_mandown_mtb6363 hahahaha thanks for your support I know it's a pretty far drive for you. You guys should hit Santiago Oaks next time it's only 10mim away from my restaurant
Love the "drop zone", I do 3 sets of each drop sm/med/lrg for practice when I'm there and now I can pretty much do them all with my eyes closed! -well sorta' Great section to build skills and harden the nerves. Off subject comment. I've been full on fasting on Friday's for Lent with zero intentions of weight loss goals or health benefits and I've dropped 11 pounds in the last 4ish weeks! I guess it does work and might make it a regular thing now I guess.
Yes the drops are great to build your skills on. I'm blown away that you lost 11 pounds by just fasting 1 day a week for 4 weeks. That's definitely not normal and but that's great!
@@TommyHuynh Yea main true story. well, I also cut out sugar out of my diet a few months ago cause of a pre diabetes scrare but fasting seems to work pretty good too.
@@MrThegixerman thanks brotha 🤘 yeah that's something my dad tried to ingrain in me at a very young age before he died. It's something I hope that I'm teaching my kids as well 🙏
Tommy Huynh t_wrex_mtb hey bro I’m into MTB I’ve hit some of those trails at Santiago oaks. I’m really interested in that fasting concept. I’m also vegan can you give me more info? I would also love to ride with you guys. Just bought a Santa Cruz Bronson
What were those guys doing with their bikes on one side and standing on the other side of the trail? Anyways, enjoyed watching the ride. Keep up the good work.
I rode here on Sunday and on chutes I lost my rear wheel from underneath me, ended up flying through the air and landed on rock with my head. Which broke my helmet. Of course 3 days before Sea Otter.
Damn dude! I'm so sorry to hear! Are you ok? I feel like some of my biggest crashes are on trails that I get too comfortable and dont respect. Heal up soon brotha 🤘
@@Haithambell yeah I had bad fall 2 weeks ago at the secret trail, hit my head pretty hard but luckily I didn't crack the helmet and was able to continue riding the rest of the day.
That's actually not true. I eat way more food in 1 meal than I did when I ate 5 meals. The difference is I eat way more veggies which has more nutrients and I no longer eat processed carbs. The biggest misconception of fasting is people think you lose fat from starving or calorie deficit but it's not. By fasting your body burns it's fat as fuel because your insulin, glucose and glycogen is low due to fasting
@@iulikcv bro, I just rode with Alex at Santiago Oaks and Mt Wilson over the weekend. I actually test rode his Strive at Mt Wilson while we were waiting for the guys with the flats. Alex was explaining how the shape shifter works. I dont anything about Canyon Bikes but he told me it was a Canyon Strive 29er so I am sure it was.
That couple @3:33 ??? WTH ?? Great to see you and Alex riding again. Two of my favs.
Holy shit! I never even noticed it 😂🤣

i'm a local but never been to "the Jumps" at 6:20 - i usually park south of Oaks. but curious where that jump is at.
Kinda hard to explain there's no trail name or anything, just gotta ask someone to show you
Good times bro thanks for pushing me too huck those drops!! 🔥👊🏼😜
For sure brotha 🤘 way to send it 👌
Hey David you look Sick Riding with the Big Boys ✊🏽🤘🏽
Can't believe those kids had their bikes laying across Barham on a blind turn... That could have been bad. Love seeing other riders progress, great coaching and great video!

I have to say I always look forward to the "OH SHIT!" intro clips. 🤣🤣 Just don't get hurt! Fun video as always 👍👍
Hahahaha thanks brotha 🤘
I watched it all just to see the bomb ass food at the end. Sick Vid Tommy.
Thanks brotha 🤘
your Laughter when you hit sketchy things Cracks me up, make your videos fun to watch, plus the riding is Awesome.
Wow what were those guys thinking, leaving their bikes on the trail around a blind turn? That could have ended badly. Great video as always Tommy!
Yeah those kids were filming and didn't realize their bikes were laid out in the middle of the trail. We were really lucky we didn't crash.
wow, what a meal. MTB'ing was ok too! Excellent leading Tommy! LOL
Hahahaha thanks brotha 🤘
Hey Bro, that was super cool the way you coached that Rider on the drop. Props to you for taking the time. If you ever find yourself in the San Diego area, be glad to show you trails. Respect.
Thanks brotha 🤘 I appreciate the offer. I hope to go ride in SD sometime soon
Like always.. good shit bro.. I think Alex should just stay in SoCal... He's hitting all the right trails!
Yeah he loved it here in So Cal I was finally able to take him to my favorite trail on Sunday. We hit Mt Wilson, that video will post on Wednesday.
@@TommyHuynh can't WAIT for you to yell @ him.. DONT LOOK RIGHT!!
@@osirus272 hahahaha I definitely did 🤘
I rode Chutes last Sunday and was riding up to sketchballz when there was a huge orange snake in the path. I thought it was a stick and nearly killed it until it coiled up and tried to take a shot at me. Stay safe dude!
Oh damn that's sketchy!
Man I missed running into you guys by one day! Rode Santiago on Saturday instead of Friday. Looks like it was a good time!!
Nice! Yeah Santiago Oaks is always fun, just wished the runs were longer.
Great channel and your restaurant looks amazing. Just subscribed.
Thanks brotha 🤘
damn dude who knew you were so buff under those jerseys!
Hahaha thanks 🤘
Great video.. and the food looks delicious.

I don't know how the hell you can manage go for biking after the gym? This is hard! Good job man ,🤘
Thanks brotha 🤘 I'm been doing it for almost 2 years my body is used to it. I have way more energy since I started eating only one meal a day.
@@TommyHuynh I don't where do you get that energy from but that's awesome brother 🤘

@@eddier9593 that's awesome, cutting out sugar definitely helps.
When do you usually eat your 1 meal
Around 2pm but sometimes on the days I ride I don't get to eat until 3pm or 4pm
Ha, I hear you man. I absolutely hate climbing. But the climb is pretty rewarding after a good decent.
Yeah I don't like to climb but I will do it if the DH is worth it. 🤘
Awesome video like always . Hope I can ride with you one day Bro
Thanks brotha 🤘 I plan to do another group ride in a month or so. Just stay tuned, I will announce the date on my TH-cam channel
That restaurant looks lush 😀😊💖

I seems like a while since I've seen a follow-cam on Alex. He keeps getting better all the time.
Yeah he's definitely getting better, riding 3-4 a week and riding different trails will definitely make you better 🤘
1 huge meal 4:00 I've been doing it for 4wks cause of you👊👊 it's weird but I feel like I have more energy now 12 pounds as well.
Hell yeah! That's awesome brotha 🤘 keep grinding!

@@TommyHuynh You can get some good speed on that part of the trail. Good thing you saw it in time.

Reupload?
I never reupload. This was from Friday April 5th. I normally get my videos uploaded within 3 days after riding
HA! Stop talking! Lol! Love ya Tommy.. When you coming to "Where Eagles Dare" Off the Tommy Knocker?
I already have plans this weekend and I'm gonna be riding out of town next weekend, hopefully soon.
who ever alex with its always fun to watch coz hes natural funny guy...
Yeah he's super cool and I always have fun riding with him
Sick 🤙🏽
Thanks brotha 🤘
Hell yeah 🤙🤟

Dude. You need twinlock remote~~° haha
Hahahaha too complicated, I like to keep things simple 🤣
The blind following the blind
Hahahaha seriously 😂
One meal is good so long as you don't eat the stuff you saved in the 2 missed meals in with it like I sometimes do !
That's actually not true. I eat way more food in 1 meal than I did when I ate 5 meals. The difference is I eat way more veggies which has more nutrients and I no longer eat processed carbs.

By fasting your body burns it's fat as fuel because your insulin, glucose and glycogen is low due to fasting
