This is Part 2 of our ride in Santa Barbara on Nov 24, 2020. I had so much footy I had to break it into 2 edits. Part 1 is our run down Cold Springs, this video is our run down Tunnel and Jesusita. I had one of my worst crashes today. I was leading with Big Booty Chris behind me getting some follow cam. We were smashing really good and I got a little too cocky and didn't give enough respect to this trail and paid the consequences. If you have ridden TUNNEL you know how nasty this trail is and I ate it on the gnarliest section, I was going faster than I should have picked the wrong line, my front got hung up on a boulder and I went OTB, flew face first into a boulder. If I wasn't wearing a full face I would have lost all my teeth. Unfortunately my @gopro took some of the impact and the rear LCD shattered when it slammed against the helmet 😪 I'm just lucky to be able to walk away from this one. I was seeing stars, hearing bells and lost some feeling in my right hand for a few minutes there. I took a few minutes to gather myself before getting back on the bike and riding down. I hiked back up to hit the same line to get redemption, I made it through that section but got caught up on the boulders about 10 yards away. I got on my bike and tried to finish this section which is the nastiest section on the trail, it is reallu steep with huge boulders. On the last section I wasn't going fast enough to get over the boulder and went OTB again. Watching back the video and listening to myself speak I'm pretty sure I had a concussion and it probably wasn't a good idea to try to ride that section. I am just grateful I was able to walk away from those crashes.
After Tunnel we hit Jesusita. We met Grey on the Tunnel. He is from San Luis Obispo and we were stoked to find out he watches the channel. He is familiar with these trails so he showed us how to get to Jesusita. The climb to get to Jesusita was brutal, most of the sections were too steep to climb so we had to hike a bike for about a mile. I have had a lot of people tell me to hit this trail up and it was on the list for long time. The trail was cool but honestly not really worth the climb especially when we have a shuttle.
