UCSC MTB Trails Santa Cruz California - East Coasters First ride

The adventures continue with part 5 of 6 as we explore the UCSC mountain bike trails around Santa Cruz, California. There are a lot of great trails in the network, but these three felt perfect for a full day of riding. We started on Sweetness, then headed over to Dead Camper into Hillbilly, and finished the day on Mailboxes.

My nephew is here visiting the San Francisco Bay Area from the East Coast! He's an avid rider, and for years, he's been watching me ride these Northern California MTB trails on my channel. Now, it's his turn to experience them firsthand.
The big question: Is the "GoPro Effect" real? He’s finding out firsthand. This video kicks off a super fun week of Bay Area mountain biking where we'll hit some of my favorite local spots!
