【MTB ALAN】Mountain Biker Gets SCHOOLED and Goes Faster

What's up crew, I'm Alan, and if I can have a ride day on a bike, so can you. Here's a riddle for you. How can you be the slowest rider and a faster rider at the same time? Well, in this episode, I head back out to Aliso to ride with Tommy, Huynh, and two of his buddies. And on this day, I was definitely the slowest rider. But by the end of the day, I was a slightly faster rider. You wanna see what that looks like? Well, let's get to the part where we ride bikes. Riding with Tommy today. Gonna do all the Aliso trails, the legal ones. Yes, the classics. The classics, yeah, the classic trails. Yeah, that's what we're gonna do. Oh, wow, dude, the trails are frying. Kyle, Hunter. Hunter. Tommy. Bye, folks. With Tommy. It's been a really long time since I rode this trail with this guy. I'll have to take that line next time.

Yeah, no chain. The chain is gone. Claudio was correct. Not a pedal stroke for the American. He's done it. That's crazy. That's the win. With no chain. Anybody got a quick link? I just realized I gave my quick link to somebody else. Anybody have an extra one? I'll do this while you... Thanks. All right. So, put the pin back in. I've never done that before, but it worked. Yeah, we got it. Thanks for your help. Okay. Your slow is probably my fast. Yeah, you're rolling. Okay. All right. Let's roll. Ricey. All right. This is Rocket. Rocket. I'm falling. Too low. Sorry, dude. I downshifted too much. One more. How are you doing? You all right, honey? Oh, shit. You can have a lot of fun on legal trails if you try hard enough. Sorry. So, we're on a bit of a time crunch. Tommy's on a schedule. So, we're cruising up Mathis to save a little bit of time. It's not as bad as I remember it. Yeah, I think the weather makes a big difference. Yeah, the weather does help. But then, I'm just realizing now, I always think I'm one hump further along than I am. Yeah. It's the mountain biker's mirage. Yeah. Yep, we thought we were at the top, but we got the mountain biker's mirage. So, we got to still go up there every time it gets you. Mathis! Strava, sorry. Follow me, too. Hiker's like, kudos, dude. What's your Strava name, dude? Last one. Thank you. A little bit off trail. You good? You got it. Just stay left. He's good. His handlebars are just tweaked. He looked good, though. Tommy, is there a good line through there? Yeah, dude. Yeah, I just tweaked my handlebars. Yeah, dude. There was no hikers. There was this one hiker who had his bike in the middle of the trail I had to stop for. No way. Yeah, he was wearing a blue sweatshirt. Oh, man. I didn't know where he came from. His handlebars are a little crooked. I would have had a PR, but... Oh, man. First drop, I never do that. I just told you today. Whatever the guy does in front of me, I never launch that very first drop. I just roll it. Yeah, you launched it. So I launched it. I was like, oh, my God. That's hard. There was that first rock guard and the second one. Somehow, I ended up off trail on the left side. I did that. Yeah, way over there. Yeah, I was off, like, in the brush. I looked up. I was on this side. It was a show. I didn't know. It's funny you were following me because I didn't know what I was doing. I was like, I hope he knows a better line than I was just, like, going straight. Yeah, bud. Going up, Choya. Haven't done this a long old time. Not stoked on it, but that's the thing about a climb. You don't have to be stoked on it. You just got to pedal. That was uncalled for. I did the line. I don't know if I liked it, but I did it. All right, crew. Hope you dug that. Until next episode, go have a rad day.
