Alan.
This video was perfect because of the map snapshot. I hope more bloggers would take part in this campaign.
Excellent work.🥇
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm glad it was helpful. 🤘🏾
The parking and facilities overview plus showing the uplines and transfers on the map is so helpful!
Thanks, Anthony!
Hoped it would be. 👊🏾
I remember running into you guys that day. My Girl and I were on a hike. 4:43. That bald guy with a camera... that was me. 😊 I’m famous now. Thanks for the video. Like always super fun.
Ha! Nice. Hope your footy came out well! 🤘🏾😆
Love riding at Santiago Oaks
What a great loop. Sooo much packed into a short ride. I didn't see any comments of people taking the higher line on Waterfall. I looked at it my first ever time down and haven't looked since. The annual pass for OC parks I believe it $50 or $80 if you add the OC Beaches.
🤘🏾
Very nice to discover an US track. Thanks for sharing 👍🚲
🤘🏾
wow, took me this long to learn youve been saying go hard, when you say go have a rad day. Love it. Love the vids. thanks for making these
Glad you dig the vids!
Yeah…I’m sometimes overly clever. 😅
Awesome video, love the map overlays!
Thanks!
Wicked awesome and detailed trail guide... Thank you!
My pleasure.
This is a great guide! I've been here a couple times just kind of aimlessly wandering around so this is very helpful.
Sweet! Glad it helped. More to come.
As always awesome episode!
🙏🏾
so rad. great in depth video!
Thanks! Glad you dug it.
I have been waiting for this!!! Thanks alot!!! 🤙🏼
No problem! My pleasure.
Nice vid and awesome map work, your ESRI skills coming straight to the channel now. Thanks Brother
Thanks!
Ha...! I wish I were that cool. I'm just using Ayvri. :)
Looking forward to that beginner-intermediate loop at Santiago Oaks! Keep up the good work!
Thanks. It’s definitely in the works. 👍🏾
Love the trail guide. I'll be trying this one out soon! Hope to see you around.
Thanks Brandon! Hope you have fun.
Another great video
Thanks again!
Looked like a beautiful day out there. Yeah Alan and Tony!!!!
Def a rad day!
We use use line on left years ago have been on waterfall much lately but now starting to ride with kids again will have to re visit left side
San Clemente Trail Guide!!!!! Please. Those trails look confusing as hell.
Thanks for the suggestion. 👊🏾
Great guide! There’s so many little features I haven’t hit on Hawk and Chutes. Looking forward to heading back and checking them off the list. ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thanks! Yeah, man. Get it! 🤘🏾
Awesome video Alan! I went to Greer on Saturday and went down Underdrive and there is a New section there if you go down it. Maybe around halfway down there should be a split either left or right and on that trail, there is a lot of jumps, doubles, and a little bit of some steep stuff.
Thanks for the update. I did hear the new trail was connected up and open. 👍🏾
It's been a while since I've been to this channel!
Welcome back!
Awesome Video, my son and I recently started riding at Santiago will definitely have to try these trails when our skills improve.
Thanks! Heck yeah!
What trails do you and your son ride?
@@mtb_alan so far we have I my done Cactus and Grasshopper, but we avoided the rock drop.
Nice!
I can’t wait to go
Yew! 🤘🏾
Fire Alan🔥🚴♂️❤
🤘🏾
Nice ride 👍
🤘🏾
Had a blast riding the first part of Oaks with you on Saturday, hope to see you on another Group ride whether its yours own or with Tony
Heck yeah, Scott! Fun day!
Too funny this is actually where I ride when I go to Santiago Oaks! Oaks is a great climb. Also, agree 100% on parking at Irvine Regional and supporting your local parks!
Nice! It's a kinna rowdy route!
Nice work. Thanks for putting it together and promoting directional trails. It will help the trail system allow more users and keep the trails narrower. You mentioned riding the Left line on the Goat Rock sections, I have been riding cleaning for years, 10+. The inside line was recently cleaned up with a Jack hammer, so it's easy now. I guess someone thought Goat needed to be an intermediate trail instead of an advanced.
Thanks Jon!
And thanks for the insight. I wish I could have seen it before the jackhammering.
@@mtb_alan It was a Narrow crack shaped by water.
👍🏾
Great quality videos and skillfull editing. Keep them coming. Love this channel. Is that the HERO 8 your using?
Thanks!
Hero9 for the POV.
Hero8 for the 3rd person shots.
@@mtb_alan cool thanks
👊🏾
Ok, i am taking notes.... I have to bring note pad when I ride this trail.. LOL...! I live right next to this trail and I will try it! Great Vid
📝😆
Always wanted to ride Santiago. Your virtual topo map illustration will help me find parking and trail head.
Right on. Have fun. Do know that right now (March '21) the portion of the Roadrunner Loop I showed is shut down but you can still take the route to the right.
Love the video Alan, the last ride I did was chutes and then had a nasty car accident. Keep it up and keep me motivated to help heal my fractured L1 and L2. I even bought the Punk Purple Scouts from Tasso. Since you had that Q&A with the founder of Tasco I’ve been collecting their rad apparel. I also got your T that is a play on the SC logo “Have a Rad Day on a bicycle”. Good quality and excellent videos. CHECK UR SAG!
Thanks for the feedback and support! And for supporting TASCO!
Sorry to hear about the injury. Healing vibes!
That intro is def the best 😎
😂
👊🏾😉
Man, I gotta get to Cali and try some of those trails
Heckin’ A!
Really nice :-)
🙏🏾
Super video! I applauded for CA$2.00 👏
Testing testing - It now works in Canada!
Thanks, eh!
🙏🏾
I ride here all of the time and know these trails well. Everything said here is 99% true but a small warning to people riding in the oaks for the first time, as of mid 2022 the trails are extremely dry and loose so be careful it can get sketch real fast. Other than that the guide is super helpful to anyone who hopes to visit. Keep on being shred
Thanks! And indeed, trail conditions at any trail system are always changing. 🤘🏾
Nice b roll
🙏🏾
Worth noting that Roadrunner Loop is closed right now due to it being raptor nesting season. Will have to go a little ways around right now
Thanks Adam. Saw that last Saturday. 🙏🏾
Thanks for the trail guide! Have you ever made one for Newport Coast/Crystal Cove?
No problem. I’ve not. The closest is my Aliso guide. Good idea though. 👍🏾
@@mtb_alan Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Great video! Just what I needed. Taking the family on a road trip from Ga. to So Cal to see the in laws and will be in Yorba Linda for a week and was looking for places to ride and saw this on MTB Project. Great to see what it looks like and it looks awesome! I will have a week in the area in June and will probably be able to get three or four rides in. What would you say are the must ride trails in So Cal?
Skypark at Santa's village has some amazing trails that are groomed and raked. It is really fun
That's rad!
Must ride trails? It's hard for me to recommend without knowing what you're used to riding. But I can recommend a few must-ride trail systems:
Aside from Santiago Oaks, check out these:
Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness
A whole range of trails from intermediate to gnarly with ocean views and...yeah. It's the classic SoCal experience.
th-cam.com/video/wSkpl3yH1gw/w-d-xo.html
The Luge
This is a single trail but an iconic SoCal trail. It won't be much of a drive from Yorba Linda so might be worth it...even as a morning ride before an afternoon ride.
th-cam.com/video/sDTL37lv030/w-d-xo.html
Snow Summit Bike Park
Heck! If you're willing to make the drive up into the mountains, Snow Summit is a whole experience. Such good trails, lift-access, and you're up at elevation in the mountains.
th-cam.com/video/iDeankTwEp8/w-d-xo.html
Skypark
And...dang, if you have the time and can get a reservation, Skypark is a hella rad day. And there's stuff there for the whole family.
th-cam.com/video/SVeco_K5PZM/w-d-xo.html
Annnd...! You'll be in Yorba Linda which is where Tommy Huynh's awesome restaurant is at Monarch 9. You CANNOT miss going there for a meal. If you know who Tommy is, he's one of the OG MTB TH-camrs, a gnarly rider, a hella nice guy, and his restaurant is one of the best Vietnamese places I've been to.
www.monarch9cafe.com/
Hope that helps.
@@mtb_alan Thanks, that some great info! I like to ride chunky tech downhill and well pretty much anything as long as I'm on my bike. Waterfall and Chute look awesome and I can't wait to ride them. I do follow Tommy and will certainly be have a meal at his place! SoCal is so different from Georgia. We get steep and gnarly too, but the dry and loose rock will a new challenge for me since we don't have much of that here. I will check those links too. Don't know if I will get to hit a bike park or not while I'm in town, but I am going to get to spend a day in Angel Fire on the way out there. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. If I get to meet up with you when I'm out there, I'll buy you a beer to repay the favor.
@@cbmtb Sweet!
Intro was hilarious! Looked like a fun day. How much time did the climb take (bottom to top)? SoCal as a lot to offer. Any plans to hit Simi Valley?
Was def a fun day.
The climbs? Well...we were taking our time, but the main climb up Chutes was about 14 minutes. Bottom of Cactus to top of Mountain Goat about 11 minutes. And the Oak climb was about 15, but that was a with a couple breaks.
And yeah...I def need to get back to Simi. It's a bit of a haul to get there though and would like to ride with somebody who knows the trails.
@@mtb_alan careful if you go with Tommy, he’s crazy (no disrespect at all). Simi looks heavy but fun. Thanks man!
Thanks for the warning. True...Tommy does get pretty gnarly. But he's never pressured me to do anything I didn't wanna do. He's a real sweetheart.
Damn I had to walk all those features in hawk. I need to go back and do it again
Take your time and practice braking technique. ;)
@@mtb_alan thanks! I think some of those lines I might be able to get. It will take practice 👍
@@jl.520 👊🏾
I live 10 mins from there thanks im going this thursday afternoon
Heck yeah!
How about a trail guide to all the ILLEGAL trails in Aliso/Laguna 😜
I know you are joking, but a video pointing out which trails are off limits, which are questionable and which are dosented, (Because some folks like to combine their Laguna rides with a Bommer ride,) would be useful
@@NoBrakes23 definitely
Went to Hulda yesterday with my bodies and took some wrong turns, climbing back up was not fun😂
😆 Sounds like you're suggesting a Hulda Crooks trail guide. 🤔
@@mtb_alan I wasn’t 😂 but that’s a great idea!
On the list.
Trails look awesome, but I just cannot imagine having to share downhills like this with hikers!
It’s not so bad. It’s a practice in kindness and common decency.
@@mtb_alan that's an excellent attitude. If I were to ride a hiking trail here, then I would always expect to give way to the walker. Fortunately, the places I usually ride, it would be almost unheard of to see a walker, although it does happen from time to time.
@@boringuserhandle copy that. 👍🏾
That first left on Roadrunner loop to the boundary is closed due to raptor nesting :( Your loop is missing Sketch-ballz, all 5 flag drops, power line sketch descent. See you at the flag.
I didn't miss those trails because I wasn't aiming for them. 😉
GoPro effect in full! Waterfall does NOT look that flat behind the bars!
=P
💯 🤘🏾
ALAN YT Jeffsy or Santa Cruz Nomad which one is better?
They’re two different classes of bikes. But the green thing underneath me in this video should tell you my opinion. 😉
How about a trail guide to all the “ILLEGAL” trails in Aliso/Laguna 🤪😂 jk loved the video Alan
LOL! Don't think I haven't gotten that request before.
@@mtb_alan I’m sure you have!
I've been going to SOaks since 2014, and I never knew Waterfall was its own trail. I always thought people talking about waterfall meant the alt technical entrance to Chutes downhill.
Props for recognizing all the effort the Nondot folks put in to make these trails better.
Glad to help! I used to think the same thing until somebody told me about the Waterfall trail. I do think there are a couple different ways to do the lower half.
I'm too lazy to read all the comments, so if this was already stated I apologize. You can get a year pass to OC regional and wilderness parks for $55.
Ah! Great tip. 🙏🏾
Alan what time they open tomorow?
Check the OC Parks website for details. Links in the description. 👍🏾
Im not good for internet. How can i contact you direct for doing mountain bike.? Please let me know . You are the best youtuber
@@JorgePerez-jp5my Thanks Jorge. As I tell everybody, if you see me on the trail, say hi!
When are you doing a youtube ride out??
I have considered it. I was thinking that if I set up a Patreon or TH-cam Membership program, I would start doing them. COVID hasn't helped.
All that being said, I have in the past collaborated with The Path Bike Shop, and they organized a ride for me (th-cam.com/video/zgl9xhw3kMs/w-d-xo.html).
Nice!! Well if you ever think of doing the patreon you'll have alot of support! Hopefully will ride in big groups soon! Shredd on brother! 🤘
Thanks, Edgar! 🙏🏾
Heads up. Waterfall is WAYYY steeper than it looks on the camera. I had to climb up waterfall since it was my first time and damn ill never do that downhill 😂
LOL! It's way harder to go up it than come down it. 😝
Every weekend I go there, it's brutal
Keep going. 👊🏾
@@mtb_alan for sure my bro 🤜
Santa Monica mtn guide?
Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to get out there more.
Never gone on waterfall hawk or chutes ridgeline basically I'm a beginner
They’re definitely not for the beginner. What trails do you normally ride there?
@@mtb_alan steepest I can do is cactus or yucca I'm still on that level
Those are a fun couple of trails.
Have you attempted any of the rock rollers that you pass on the way to Yucca?
No
@@AydensFootballTalk It's a nice place to work on some of the skills you'd need for Chutes Ridgeline. The roller all the way to the right (looking up from the bottom) is a nice starter.
10 yrs these trails are so much cleaner, now it’s becoming slum due inconsiderate not picking up their dog shit.
💩
The 1st time I went, there were horse poop everywhere lol
