 Awesome edit! Thanks for taking the time out of your tight schedule to visit with us! Lindsy is looking forward to our next visit!

The next time I'll have your Double riding even better for you. Maybe I'll put that Boxxer on there lol
  • + 1
 Thank you very much! Im very grateful for everything you did for use as well. Maybe in the future Lindsy can come out to stay with us! Im still going to put up 1 or 2 more videos of our ride. I have the head cam of swithback of me following you and then the ride down NASCAR that I want to edit also. The Boxxer on the Double would be killer. But the only downfall is the spring would be way to soft for me, hahaaahahahhah RideOn!

 Thank you for coming out to ride with me and the gang. I was super stoked to finally ride with you too! The video came together great. I like how it come out. I want to make another with just the head cam footage I got. The Indiana Jones map is a feature on my mac, and it worked great for this video. Im sorry I had no time to meet up during the week. I was busy with my family. However, I wanted to ride more, hahahhahahhah Next time out I would love to ride some trials up in Orange too! RideOn!
  • + 1
 Yeah - no problem. I figured you would be busy, but always good to know there is an option to ride! That was a fun day on the trails for sure. Sorry i didn't make it on the last run - that sun was killn me. I've watched this vid a few times already - really cool. Hopefully I'll join you in Japan next time for some back country shredding. Talk soon!

 You were better off. The last run fun and all burnt me to a crisp, ahahhahahha Im happy we filmed NASCAR going up so, I could put together this video. Thank you for the cool shots and the kooky face, it made the video, ahahahhaha The back country trails are waiting your arrival bro! RideOn!

 Yeah - I got pretty burnt even with the sun block on. Wouldn't have been too good for me to keep going. haha The video of the flowy trail looked super fun though. Rob had the nice dust cloud going for you shred on!
  • + 1
 Rob had a nice flow of dust,ahahahha It was super fun. Im working on one more video of NASCAR's head cam of you. It should be finished soon. I actually got super burnt on the last run and my skin is still peeling, ahahhahah Shred On!

 Four accomplished freeriders and an awesome rocky trail under the Californian sun. I think I can understand why they call it the Golden State.
  • + 1
 It was blistering hot that day but we managed to have fun. The Golden State has lots to offer for biking and all around trail time fun. I was surprised that we were able to pedal up and then take this trail down. RideOn!

 Pedalling up and taking a steep trail down just sounds like the definition of enduro Big Grin

RideOn!
  • + 1
 Yes, that could be said! A great enduro trail with some cool FR and DH features. Just here in Japan we usually can't pedal up most trials as they are really steep. But, here they had a trial named switchbacks which transversed up the hill very nicely! Your Frans would be home here!

 that has got to be one of the sexiest looking dirtbags out there. Makes mine look real bad.

 Thanks for the kind words! My DB is just very photogenic lol She has her share of blemishes and battle scars. But she's never failed me... Smile

 sweet as bro !!!...it was good to see you on home turf, very different than the trails in Japan...cheers...
  • + 1
 Yes, very different for sure! Here in Japan we are usually on wet dense wood land but the Cali trial was just as fun on the super powdery dry trial. I was really happy to be able to finally ride some trails where I grew up! I had a blast! RideOn!

 hey i just rode this place yesterday what trail is this i couldnt find it???
  • + 1
 This is NASCAR on La Costa.
Im from Japan and this was my first time here.

There were some benches at top once if you climbed switchbacks.
Then the entrance to NASCAR was just to the right.
If you went straight up the hill you would go to horned lizard.

Here is a video of this trail from top to bottom,
