    I cant believe you both kept the bikes upright through those crazy downhill sections & ruts, and then got put to shame by that small rock at the gate. Great riding & filming as always SAFA.

      Rather crash at 1mph than 40. We'll take it 😂

    Payson's spill was so relatable. It's always the silliest thing that happens and you're down

    It’s good to know that you guys were on edge on that terrain like your viewers. I would be fearful if a catastrophic failure in the carbon from all of that abuse so to hear that you guys also marvel at the strength and durability of carbon fiber is a comfort. Exhilarating and spine chilling all at the same time!

  • @paulbradford6475
    @paulbradford6475 Před rokem +7

    The color of the scott addict gravel 30 is really amazing!
    So lucky I got the same one (stock gear) this summer. A lot of turning heads when on tour ... :-)
    Even better looking when wet - so even riding in the rain is no pain but joy.

  • @BoogieBrew
    @BoogieBrew Před rokem +6

    This precise route through Ramirez Canyon encompasses parts of my standard ride in the Santa Monicas when visiting SoCal!...Our friends live right at the bottom of the canyon, (so cool to see you & Payson cruise past their driveway). We LOVE sneaking under the PCH through the that tunnel, too! Celebrity stat: Miley Cyrus's place is a little ways above the tunnel: A lot of the homes in this canyon burnt down in the infamous fires a couple of years back, (including parts of Miley's property). There used to be a rad triangulated dome home at the top below the loosest section off Latigo, but sadly it too burned down, so it's making me a tad emotional & nostalgic to see you traversing this area. Watching this makes me wanna come down from NorCal this winter to revisit, though 👌.
