@@jkamer2168 It's not that great. As for bike handling skills, each genre has its own set of bike handling skills. It's like saying ball handling skills in basketball are superior to football. Like, they're two different things.

@teknon my Maybe so, but in my neck of the woods, you'd still run into +60MPH trucks every 30 seconds. I just have never seen roads without any traffic like this. It would be pretty amazing.
This is so epic! 15 years of riding mtb (freeride and downhill , then enduro ) and after watching Your content I wanna a road bike! Greetings from Poland man!
This is absolutely the best 11 mins of cycling i have seen from you SAFA! the edit, the layout and the synchronicity with the music is everything! hope you have a lovely 2021 !
Safa you should sell this to the California tourism board. All I want to do is ride bikes after watching your videos. I am seriously questioning why I live in Boston right now...
Man you make cycling look soo cool its awesome. When i say to my friends i cycle they are not impressed, but when i showt your videos,its another level, this is whem they realize how cool it is and all the Benefits you gain!
Awesome video. I live in LA and love to ride everyday. When the stay at home / safer at home was issues in early 2020, I loved it! The numbers of cars on the rode were almost zero. The air smelled like pine and eucalyptus instead of exhaust. Thanks for sharing
This video is so beautiful. I felt like it was videogame so I kept getting reminded this is actually the world I live in. Makes me wanna go outside and explore.
The hastily return of the soil slayer is upon us. Look no further for gravels greatest grand master has bestowed us all with an hour of the west’s alluring landscapes. Accompanied by such tantalizing talent we bow down to such passionate parceros. Safa, you are the first and last lethal weapon we never knew we needed. The UCI’s most feared foe. The marvelous multi-disciplinary maven that motivates the masses. By the pedal you live by, through the routes you realize, and to each descent you dominate. We Pray For Speed. Amen.
I watch this video like every week and each time I get closer to packing up my stuff and moving to LA. One of these times it's gonna happen. I'll see ya out there when that time comes ✌️
I'm a former DH rider who fell in love w/road riding. But I still love the dirt and descending! You guy's do it better than most! And if I'm ever in L.A? I'll track you guys down.
I don't know why, but riding a gravel bike (or even a road bike) on a fire road or single track is way more fun, exciting, and enjoyable than blasting down a smooth ribbon of tarmac on a road bike.
The guy on the black Scott bike looks like he's in jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt ! Epic video , really makes you want to go out and ride right after watching this. Thanks !
Another wicked vid with great tunes too roll with. Keep up the hard work and I hope you get all the recognition and viewers you deserve SAFA. Now I think I'll watch again on the big screen so my kids can see what they missing ! 🤘
There's few things better than a cycle on a hot sunny day. LA people are so damn lucky to have this basically all year around. We're lucky to have a month of warm summer days here in Ireland over the course of the year
Nice. Call me crazy but I believe anything off road should be ridden on a mountain bike. Nice shots. I hope to be able to ride something like this some day. Thanks.
Here I am in NYC where we just had a snow storm. Wishing it was at least spring so I could break out my new road bike and carve up the streets.😢 Loving the Cooking Soul vibes though😌😌🔥🌊
Man i wish i was in L.A. to ride been chilly in the tenn valley. But definitely bout to clock a few miles today. Great shots great music guys just what i needed.
wow this is so crazy ! I always regarded LA as a busy city with little to none cycling spots but man this changed my perspective cant wait to go out there and do some of those routes looks smooth! love from the U.K my dude !!
I use Phil Gaimon videos of Hill climbs to put me to sleep. I watch your videos to amp up for my rides. Thanks for the good work. You single handily are bringing more popularity and interest to our awesome trails and canyons in So Cal. Keep it up. I wonder if Chris Froome watched any of your videos while he is out here training..... lol.
@@Fraughtful what exactly is it about the positioning of their dogs in this moment that allows us to make claims about that person's driving tendencies?
Lets be honest we all love cycling videos this is just what I need to get it going the blood I love it. I always watch these before I go out and get my body moving. I love when I always watch one of these, and then put up my heavy playlist I love like Delta Parole and then I just go haaaaard!!!! Tactic hasnt let me down yet.

Show them this video!!
Same. This video made my week. Subbed
We must be brothers! 52 here too! 😂 And still loving it ... Not so much all the hype and prices of premium bike brands, though ...
I'm 63 and STILL can't get enough MTB and road rides. Gravel bike is next! Ride on!

When I was 15 I used to watch them vids too, now its cycling.
rather some later Ty Evans production. But this filmed with a VX1000 + fisheye mounted to the fork would be awesome
Mannn this comment is on point 🔥🔥🔥
The vibes... the vibes 🙌
This man is living in GTA 5!
more like GTA 27, amirite
Came to say the same.
실화냐
Looks astonishingly like it right?? The colour palette is identical!
I'm just waiting for him to fly off the mountain and land it a la GTA V.
Holy moly that drone work at 5:10

Real bike handling skills, too.

@@LRF49 Sounds like an offended roadie response ;-)
@@jkamer2168 Nope. I do both. I love both. Hence why I know each one has it's own set of skills sets that differ from one another.
One of the greatest things about living in LA is we honestly have it all! Hill, mountains and beaches and amazing weather for cycling year round.

and holding a drop bar while running to make it look like he's biking
You don't have to be a cyclist to love this type of content. This channel is too underrated ngl. Should've been 1m+ already. More than deserved. ❤️

72 f today
Sunny with a. Chance of sun
@@jeffreystine7068 the warmest we've had this week is 53 in your money and between 25-30mph winds, we really cant have anything 😂
You will miss your Pub and Beer after you ride ;) but ye u cant have everything
@@hansholger8897 that true, I'd be happy to settle for a beer on the beach or a gravel ride instead 😁
Yeah winter in the Uk seems to be September to April! Would love To live in LA instead.
Streets without cars, my dream
It can be done. Late at night.
It does seem weird. Are there no cars in LA?
@@MartyKeil where they are riding at, its residential and more away from the main roads so thats why there are less.
@teknon my Maybe so, but in my neck of the woods, you'd still run into +60MPH trucks every 30 seconds. I just have never seen roads without any traffic like this. It would be pretty amazing.
just come to Poland bro, no cars and 10x cheaper, premium tarmac quality, hills and descents only in the south tough...
Dang, we need to get this on DVD asap. Amazing quality! This is Hollywood stuff!
Lol! I haven’t had a DVD player for a while
DVD?!?!
Dude is living in the year 2000.
Dun matter, right tho
Just save to your favorites! 😉
You’re the only TH-camr I know to show how cool road cycling can be.
This scares the shit out of me. But as someone who once lived in LA, I’m so glad you posted this...and survived.
😂😂😂
This is so epic! 15 years of riding mtb (freeride and downhill , then enduro ) and after watching Your content I wanna a road bike! Greetings from Poland man!
i've probably watched this video 10 times it is just so good
Awesome!
I come back to this video at least twice a month
Dante young is such a beast! Love seeing him in your videos. Once this pandemic is over, I'm heading to cali, you sold me!
ain't catchin' no 'rona man.
Stay away too many people lol
pandemic is never going to be over, you might as well just move
I packed my whole life in a car and moved here from NYC in Jan! DO it, you won’t regret it!
I heard he moved to Colorado
Those downhills are a dream for me and my Allez!
This is absolutely the best 11 mins of cycling i have seen from you SAFA! the edit, the layout and the synchronicity with the music is everything! hope you have a lovely 2021 !
The music choice in this video is top notch, absolutely fabulous.
Can't go wrong with cycling and a Cookin' Soul Soundtrack!! VIBES!! 🚴🏾♂️. ❣️
Safa you should sell this to the California tourism board. All I want to do is ride bikes after watching your videos. I am seriously questioning why I live in Boston right now...
Man you make cycling look soo cool its awesome. When i say to my friends i cycle they are not impressed, but when i showt your videos,its another level, this is whem they realize how cool it is and all the Benefits you gain!
If I lived somewhere like this I'd literally be out on my bike every single day. Forget hobbies like Xbox, indoor stuff etc. This is my dream!
The roads through the Santa Monica mountains never cease to amaze me.
Awesome video. I live in LA and love to ride everyday. When the stay at home / safer at home was issues in early 2020, I loved it! The numbers of cars on the rode were almost zero. The air smelled like pine and eucalyptus instead of exhaust. Thanks for sharing

Man, please never stop doing these videos.
Please do more of these types of videos, I love the smooth music with the smooth riding
loving the absolute jamz playing over this vid. PS you could give pro cycling broadcasts tips on how to make watching cycling more interesting.
7:45 daaaamn.
My heart is in my throat just watching those descents!
wow...This is a video with a sense of speed.The beautiful scenery is wonderful.

Dude such sick video. My little boy and I can sit and watch these all day lol; he wants to learn to ride like y’all.
I hold my breath for them. Each time they decent I’m like please no cars please no cars!
My anxiety going high every time he hits the corner because I'm scared of car

OK! I was a fan before but now with Cooking Soul in the mix...Damn!
Any idea what the track name from 7:05 is?

@@kingklevr thanks bro
The guy on the black Scott bike looks like he's in jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt ! Epic video , really makes you want to go out and ride right after watching this. Thanks !
I love cycling on roads and off roads. Gravel bikes are pure freedom. Beautiful clip, I can only envy your countrysides :).
Another wicked vid with great tunes too roll with. Keep up the hard work and I hope you get all the recognition and viewers you deserve SAFA.
Now I think I'll watch again on the big screen so my kids can see what they missing ! 🤘
Beautifully made... great advert for LA. Love the drone footage, too.
not sure if that's what I would call LA, but it was a good video.
Just want to say thank you Safa for being a bright spot in 2020. Plus I realized bombing down hills is my new hobby.
There's few things better than a cycle on a hot sunny day. LA people are so damn lucky to have this basically all year around. We're lucky to have a month of warm summer days here in Ireland over the course of the year
Can't get over how good the roads are there.
Nice. Call me crazy but I believe anything off road should be ridden on a mountain bike. Nice shots. I hope to be able to ride something like this some day. Thanks.
I legit watch this video at least once a week. Great work. Always puts me in a good mood.
The coastal and traffic descents look great.....from a camera. You guys continue to ride like this, your days will be numbered. My 2 cents.
One of the few redeeming qualities of this year... massive Safa content!!! Here’s to next year 🥂
Greetings from Germany. This video makes me want to take my bike and travel to L.A. just ride those roads. It is amazing
The quality of this production is equally as amazing as the roads you get to ride. 👍
This looks so fun and so skillful. Can’t imagine the adrenaline going down those sharp corners. I wanna get into cycling
Idk how people can not listen to music riding. Having a soundtrack like this just feels too good 😌
This improves your hand eye coordination a lot. You see things like never before.
...brought a smile to my face this morning...I miss LA!
Bad ass upload. Videos like this restore my faith in TH-cam. Totally underrated channel.
Man I need to buy a gravel bike... and a plane ticket to LA
These videos are saving my life during this covid crisis. Such a pleasure to look at your riding. Keep it up my man!
this was wildly relaxing to watch and makes me wanna get my bike out IMMEDIATELY.
Amazing riding, no surprise there but the cinematography is off the charts on this. Wow.
I have watched this video repeatedly since covid.The music the ambience 🔥
Had a smile throughout the entire video!!! I'm going to watch it again!
Well…my next bike ride won’t look anything like this but I’ll still enjoy it. And i really enjoy ‘riding along’ with you. Thanks.
죽인다.. 영상에 푹빠져드네요..우리나라에도 저런 도로가 있으면 행복하겠네요.. 부럽습니다. 나도 달리고 싶네요.
Killer edit dude. Makes me jealous looking outside and seeing snow and ice with below freezing windchill. Keep crushing it.
That was a epic collection of most of your videos this past year. You did a great job.
These videos are the only thing keeping me sane atm. Marvellous stuff, as always!
Somehow missed this first time around but here after this year’s video. Thank you.
Such a beautiful video... This + 80s music... Heaven. Greatings from Poland & can't wait for more videos like this!
Holy shit, I could feel the wheel slipping at 7:49... The descends in and around L.A. look absolutely sick!
I'm sure the wide angle makes it look even faster but MAN, these guys need to have an insane amount of confidence in their machines. Kudos!
Here I am in NYC where we just had a snow storm. Wishing it was at least spring so I could break out my new road bike and carve up the streets.😢
Loving the Cooking Soul vibes though😌😌🔥🌊
Musical score alone sold it 👌🏿
No words for this dude. Wicked work. Captured the whole LA Cycling vibe!
I literally enjoyed every single second. Such a nice vibe and what a decent machine man. Great Video!!
Perfect for being snowed in back east!
Man i wish i was in L.A. to ride been chilly in the tenn valley. But definitely bout to clock a few miles today. Great shots great music guys just what i needed.
Damn, those drone shots, groovy music, and you dudes can ride. Badass vid

Those gravel sections looked like so much fun to ride!
