Shuttlin’ Santiago Oaks

On Saturday Joe Sizzzle and I decided to shuttle Santiago Oaks. If you’ve ever been to Oaks, you know that there’s some sweet single track on top of the mountain. But in order to get there, you’ll need to climb some steep hills. Since climbing is my least favorite part of mountain biking, Joe and I parked my car at the end of the trail then drove his car to the beginning of the trail. After a good 15 minute hike to the top of the mountain, Joe and I zoomed down the single track.

Joe was riding the Intense Socom and I was on the KHS XCT 555 ( the do it all bike). Here’s our video coverage. I didn’t have an extra mount for the Vholdr Cam, so I ended up zip tying and taping the camera between the seat tube and top tube. While Joe was using the Epic Stealth Cam on his helmet. We combined our footage to come up with the video below…enjoy!

    That was fun! We should have done one more run. Too bad S. Oaks wasnt a little bit longer

    I agree Joe. Next time we should get as many people as we can.

    Thanks, I think next time I’ll mount it so you can see the rear triangle working. Then in another session, a view of the rider, I’ll combine all three vantage points to create a video.
