- My buddy Justin Niemi asked if I wanted to come ride Lime Ridge Open Spaces, since I’ve never been here I thought It would be fun to take you all along with me for my first look at the park.
Nothing like getting out to new places and trying out your skills on different terrain! Fun day out here & thanks to Justin we got a fun tour of the trails Lime Ridge has to offer.
Check out Justin Niemi’s channel now while he’s still growing.. as I’m sure there will be some absolutely amazing rides soon to come in his future! Don’t wanna miss out on this East Bay Rippers new TH-cam journey ✌🏼🎥✨🚲💨

Intense video.
If this is Lime Ridge in Concord, CA, there are some super gnarly dowhills between Treat and Monument blvd. Super steep. All rhe top BMX and motorcycle racers would practice there in the 70s.
Awesome 👏🏼 yea I’ve only ridden out here a handful of times 🚲💨 Fun Place
I grew up riding those trails back when the farmer would chase us on a four wheeler and shoot at us with salt rock circa 1980's
GoPro effect is real for those drops. In person they are much bigger to our eyes haha
Yea the GoPro tends to tell lies quite a bit.. ☝🏼😅
🤘 This is why we live in Cali! We can literally ride year round.
Should post a map in the intro of each video. You seem to cover a lot of ground.
@@TimMillernapavalleyfilmworks Thanks & no doubt we are lucky out here! I tend to jump on whatever opportunity comes my way! And if it’s a few hours away I’m fine with that too for a good day on mtbs!
Except bay area...rip
Looks like a good place to break out the hardtail.
Yea you could do some flowy laps out here forsure! It’s got a smooth sandy texture and gets a bit fishy as soon as it dries out a bit.. but good flow for the fam with just enough to keep ya entertained 💁🏻♂️
Glad to see a legend ride the local trails
Thanks again man! I’m just a old Golf Pro who loves MTB! And man we sure have quite a few awesome trails in the Bay Area to choose from! 🙌🏻✨🚲💨😎
@@bike_somm we have to ride again some time
Bike Somm getting some freeride in!!! 🤟😂
Hahha Justin makes the freeride world seem simple.. 😅
That section @3:22 always escapes me. I've followed locals down it before but every time I'm by myself I forget where that is.
I need to go session that flat/ slightly off camber turn on Back9 just before the platform drop, it looks like you were able to carry a decent amount of speed through that section.
Killer video as per the usual! You guys are friggin fast!
Sweet yea I was stoked to see some new to me trails & get to ride some different stuff! Good fun day & next time I’m taking my SB100 out to see where my times really stand on those pedaly downs
Lime ridge our back yard ... really nice place .. saludos amigo jay
Such an awesome video. The Pov was great! Would Love to ride there! Looks
So fun, especially to ride for building some skills. I just ordered a IXS FF Trigger helmet yesterday. Can't wait for it to get here.
Yea I’d say this place is not too hard and very fun for people trying to work on improving simple skills, as there’s a few different features you may not find many places ☝🏼
Glad you enjoyed the video 🤩
Love the vids! It’s helping me discover a lot more riding in the area
Awesome 👏🏼 Stoked to hear I’m able to expand your Bay Area trail horizons! There’s so much good trail all around the bay!
silky smooth riding. can’t wait for more videos this year
Thanks 🤙🏼 Definitely looking forward to editing more fun content soon to come!
Sick riding. You guys make those features at quarry look too easy 🤘🏼
Thanks! Wicked fun first day out here! Will have to return again soon
Nice dude! That’s my go to place to ride. How did you like it? Crazy how fast you are without ever riding there before. GoPro effect on those drops for sure.
Thanks a bunch! Yea love some good flowy trails & these were pretty cool to see. Also Justin is a master of making big things look easy! Haha☝🏼🤠
LOL that blue oak climb up to Back 9 and Thorn alley is the worst.
Rad looks like a fun trail system!
Yea not bad at all.. may have to go back a second time now that it’s not all dusty
Use to be my backyard...haven't been there in a year. .need to go back
Yea I bet it’s nicer now after the rain.. tho we could use just a bit more right about meow! 🤞🏼😼
how did you not hit the tree at 9:09? ha that place looks super fun, lets ride there soon
Haha.. think it just looked close! But yea would be down to go back here now that I’ve seen the trails & take my SB100 and see what the Strava times would be on some of these trails that take a heck of a lot of pedaling!
Justin is badass I call him El chingon 😂🤙🏻
Haha yea he’s an awesome dude! 😎
Oh damn, first dry weekend I'm there
How the hell are you showing me new trails, in my own backyard? Thank you though, will do it this weekend.
Hahah right on~ this was my first time seeing this place, so all new to me!
I noticed you live in the bay area and I recognize many of the places on your channel. have you been to the graveyard in marinwood? Its my local riding spot and it has some gnarly stuff. If you haven't been you should check it out.
Nice I’ve not ridden out there, but maybe one day ☝🏼
@@bike_somm Definitely check it out
nice
How is the drop at 11:40? I've been eyeing it up now for a few months and it seems super sketch. I can do the drop when you come in if you peel off to the right but with this, I don't want to overcook it. I had a friend come in too slow and lost a pedal and used his ass as a brake going down the landing in between his frame and rear tire. Sick videos!
Thanks! I didnt think much of it.. just smooth and slow and stay in the bike and your fine 👌🏼
are these trails legal>
Any body knows if you can ride this trail when is wet? Asking for a friend 😆
My guess is heck yea.. just might be quicksand in spots 😛
@@bike_somm we are trying to go this Saturday but it may be wet. We don't want to be on trouble for damaging the trail
@@rcazarez13 Well right now it must be perfect out.. so I’m sure if it’s not too heavy of rain and your not leaving any muddy tracks it should still drain just fine in most parts 👌🏼
@@bike_somm ok thanks dude
squeaky squeaky =)
Finally fixed it.. maybe a few vids from now tho lol
Ebike city hahaha.... what a joke 🤦
Lolz... yea perhaps but I’m just stoked I didn’t grow up riding ebikes and I’ve learned to deal with the “suffering” 😅
@@bike_somm ive pedaled around for 32 years, now i have an ebike, along with my 63 year old dad who has many knee surgeries he gets to come out and enjoy the hills and i can ride with my teenage nephews and son on a regular basis, safe shredding 🤙🤙🏁
@@braap_biglunch nothing wrong with Ebikes! 👌🏼 I’m all for anyone who rides bikes of any kind so long as they know how to do so properly.. just the way some people use them can be easily become the problem when they start climbing all the DH trails or don’t respect the other riders they are passing on the climbs
I know many people who use them for the right reasons & many who just use them to be lazy and drink more beers.. so it’s always two ways debate 👍🏼
It has to be EBikes! There's no way the damage was from months of dry weather, lack of trail maintenance & normal bike usage.
Regardless, another good video from Bike Somm.
@@canvasbackthomas102 sure 🤡
