 It's not proper in mountain biking culture to have a better car than your bike....

 Year round riding on both moto and mtb. Plus the fact that a ton of motorcycle companies have their headquarters out here and their test tracks too. You can go to milestone before supercross season starts and see at least three, if not more, top ten pros practicing. It's heaven. Aside from the fact that the drivers are absolute shit.

 Yeah seen better videos with the pros ripping that and showing more they did the same with Stairsteps a month or so back they didn't show enough to of that one either even tho they're short tracks but they got their sections where they can open up your eyeballs wide

 I'm only a little over an hour from here. Everyone is always raving about Laguna for riding, but all the footage I have seen does not make me very eager. Definitely looking to give it a shot if I'm headed in that direction anyways!

 Well that's a drive from up there in V-town you want to hit TUNNELS better I rather waste gas up to that then Telonix there's a few more trails on either side of that high way that's for sure but it's not a real long trails but they're windy really technical some more than the others but just depends who you know to get the full tour of those Hills but there's some good ones . Other than that I would rather drive up your way and hit Coldspring and Tunnels than Telonix any day but that's a 2-3 HR drive for us so you ride what you can when you can still fun fast short shuttle get a alot of runs in that's for sure

 If you are only looking to shuttle trails in Laguna then your options are limited, if your up for a good pedal there are some incredible trails. Just start exploring.

 It is a short fast, fun trail, you cant really go slow on it, on a good day you do 8 runs at least, there are a few more shuttle trails around, if I were you I would check it out if you got someone to show you around

 Telonics is a very steep and fast trail, one of my favorite trails and best of all, its easy to shuttle. The video definitely doesn't do the trail justice.

 It's like a 30 second vid. If it was at least 3-4 min I'm sure we would get a better feel

 Rode it back when I lived in SoCal, on a 1999 GT I-Drive with V brakes and 100mm fork. I was going slow but DID ride down the first, knarly rock section and some others - was proud of myself! I watched the Leaping Lizard DH race down that once and at least one guy was riding my same bike, GT I drive, totally stock, and absolutely smoking down that trail - didn't seem much slower than Lopes. Incredible - guess shows it's more the rider than bike sometimes.

 Do you think the riders turned up in the morning and were like;
'dude we are all wearing the same kit, two people have to go home and change.... rock paper scissors?' ...
