Ahhh, good 'ol luge! That's one classic SoCal trail that's a must to ride for sure! Love the drone footage and have been often thinking of trying that myself. But what stops me is the dread of carrying that darn thing around my rides lol.

Haha yeah it sucks carting it around for sure. And thanks!

Nice video and cool editing, thanks for the ride-along

always a good time at the ludge with my hardtail 7 speed 😁😅

This trail looks so sick !!!

Hey neighbor, I’m ready to give this a try, happy to see e-bikes are allowed. Thanks for the cool guide videos

Excellent ride/trail. Back in the day(70s) I used to ride motorcycles in that area. It was at that time, Escape Country.

Was pretty rough a couple weeks ago. Major arm pump. Such a good trail though.

Great vid and great advice about playing it safe, and staying within your comfort zone! It's all about having fun!!

Checked off the Old Camp box 2 weeks ago. That 540W Decoy battery came limping back with 1 bar and 1 mile DTE. Luge after Old Camp was white knuckle fatigue at its finest!

This trail is a high blue at best. Trail ratings don't change based on how fast you go, that's s reflection of your skill level not trail difficulty. There are no black features and while there are a few berms with exposure behind them it's basically a few rocks and turns with no steeps, drops, rock gardens or rollers. Lower artskool is s better example of a double black local trail

I drive different truck trails out here to deliver HazMat, people get upset about it. Truck trails are only maintained because of the trucks.

What exactly are mountain bike gloves? Can I use the Hardy Performance Work Gloves from Harbor Freight for $5? I also need one of those helmets that protect the jaw

The ones in OC? I haven’t really looked into them - I think I saw you need a reservation or something.

They call it red rock wilderness in oc parks. I think it's close to the Irvine lake in Silverado canyon. Waiting your your trail guide to then get out there!

There's such a sense of accomplishment from doing the loop on a real bike. I get a feeling of sadness seeing the ebike. It seems pointless, yet so many new riders have it as their only trail experience. You get credit for going back to get the drone footage on the other bike.

how to ride the luge: A) Get an E Bike B) Boost mode (Eco or Trail really) pretty easy to do. more fun. same workout

The most overrated trail in So Cal

The best way to ride the ludge is not to ride it. 4.5 mile climb with a half mile of down hill and zero features. It's a complete green beginner trail. Go ride laguna canyon instead. Much better trails

The luge is definitely tame compared to the XC Olympic course. Super smooth, groomed and very small less than 1 foot drops. Luge is an XC trail now…. But I have to agree if you are complaining about that climb might as well sell the MTB… pedaling up mountains is MTB..I also agree that you should stay within your comfort zone regardless, you act a fool and you are off the edge.

You should stop exploiting all the trails for your own financial gain. The dirt bike industry doesn’t do this and neither should the mtb community. People need to find the trails on their own
