The BEST mountain bike ride in Northern California | The Flow Trail - Soquel Demo Forest

Excellent. Now, back to Pacifica. Sorry. Just born and raised there. Lol

すいとん

any idea when this will open this year? I hear it is closed due to a severely wet winter?

Love Braille Trail, love flow trail ,love Demo Forest. Santa Cruz native. Have you tried Saratoga Gap? Give it a spin. I only ride single speed hard-tail, to my detriment, but it sure makes you find lines! Also, if you find yourself in town, go to Another Bike Shop, and ask about Peabody’s Trail. They may or may not give you directions.

Rode it yesterday. Ear to ear grins. That climb out though. 😮

Imaging like movie if there was a physco in thr forest watching out you to trap you 😬

Man that’s a wild experience

You need to add the Flume trail in Lake Tahoe

Rinjani moteh gohh hil oke

Is this a blue trail?

Awesome video! What camera set up do you have ? Is it a chest strap?

What are the golden rules when it comes to braking? I'm a video watcher noob. Don't you lose control when you have to take your hand off the grip and place a few fi gers on the brake?

Wow..best trail Ive seen. What a blast!!

Wow ! What an AMAZING trail !! That looks like SO much fun.

Great trails
Respect from Germany🤙

I love this place. I live in Kentucky but I have family in Santa Cruz and have been going out there every year for the past 40 years.

It's all about the flow, bro

love your video. i got into MTB recently and it was just soo much fun riding and making my first video while being scared of falling and braking my bones 😅

Great video. OCD with the car break-ins!?

There are dope fiends all over that area who love to steal other peoples shit! Thank the liberals who are soft on crime..If and when you catch one, make sure they go to the hospital before the cops book them in jail.

My stomping grounds. Wondering if you have ridden the Highway 9 side of the UCSC campus. Also great ride. I prefer to bring the ebike to demo due to the long ride back to the car.

That's not even NorCal though? That's central Cali. Honestly to most actual nor cal folks Santa Cruz area is so cal lol. Anything south of like San Fran isn't nor cal.

Demo, Downieville, and Flume are still top 3 in my bucket list

Great videos 💪

Looking forward to the day I can ride up Sulphur and Tractor while talking as easily as you are hah. So lucky to have these trails in our backyard!

Thank you bkxc for amazing rides. I got inspired by your videos and started mountain biking and now I'm in love with it. Amazing work 🚴.. Keep riding.

Once I get more comfortable with my new Stumpy Alloy Comp I can’t wait to ride this!!!

What the world needs now is another flow trail...like I need a hole in my head! There are better trails within a few miles of there.

Love your vids as well. Didn’t read all the comments. There are 5 Demonstration Forests owned by Californians and Managed
By Cal Fire, who we LOVE (almost as much as watching you ride!)

They are mostly to demonstrate how you can manage logging long term, but:

The Demonstration State Forests show how forests can be managed for multiple objectives on multiple levels. Looking landscape wide, these forests demonstrate how harvests and growth can be balanced over a century to maintain optimally stocked forests, a key measure of sustainability. Demonstrations on a finer scale include new watershed restoration techniques being tested, and fundamental science research taking place that enables students, visitors and private forest landowners to learn about forest management and forest ecosystems. What we learn is essential to better manage our dynamic forests through time.

that trail looks fun, sure not as fun as a moab trail but definitely a fun trail

That was a lot of uphill...Super hard core all around..

I've been out of mt biking for 10 years, doing motocross, scuba, lots of running and hunting/hiking etc... I raced uscf/norba back in my younger days. Can't wait to hit some cool trails, at age 53 I feel like I am past my prime but... great videos and love your enthusiasm. It's motivating.

Now that's my kinda trail. I'm hurting too much for anything to jarring. That looked fun!

What’s the name of your bike?

That was an amazing display of skill. Great video.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Speed on the 2. round was incredible. Stunning Trail! Thanks

So good hearing somebody have nothing but good clean fun on the bike.
I wish we had trails like this in Belgium.

Nice bike! I have an Ibis Silk Ti & mojo 650HDR. Great bikes!

have you ever encountered anything creepy or mysterious in those parks?

Sorry, I’m crushing the BRAKES😬

Ordered my mountain bike over a month ago and still waiting on it to arrive😖, so that I can tackle some of these trails here in the Bay Area. I do have one question. @BKXC Do you ever worry about wild life coming after you or coming across bears or mountain lions?

I found this video pretty awesome. You are so good. So fast. Wow

Good Raider bike and always sucses Freind thanks shering vidio good 👍

You are the only vlogger I see that you are not using remote lock on fork. Can you tell me about your thoughts of having remote lock out. Is it necessesay to have that or use that every time we ride on trails? Thanks and more power!

I’m all amped up about to go here for the first time. I’m a casual rider and haven’t ridden a trail in 10 yrs+. I’ll be there in about 90 minutes
