Malibu Adventure - We were looking for something fun to do in Malibu and came across this amazing mountain bike adventure. Jason was very focused on keeping us safe and ensuring we had a great experience. The trails are awesome and the views are unbelievable. Would for sure repeat this ride if we were in the area again. Cannot recommend it enough!

A great first experience - Super fun if you're any kind of adrenaline junkie. I was sure I would eat dirt, but got lucky. Jason taught me and my friend how to e-mountain-bike on this trail. In 2 hours. Going at 2 different speeds and each having our own growth opportunities/f-ups. That's pretty amazing! I could barely ride at first, but by the end of the trip I felt confident on the bike and the trail. I thought it would be like a flat fire road with few elevation gains or drops, but it's steep enough that if you don't pick up a decent momentum on the way down, the back tire skids; and if you can't do a couple things at once, you might stall up the big hill. The first leg of the trail is great practice because its on the road. You basically gotta do 3 things: change gears and your seat height when changing elevation, and apply a different pressure to 2 brakes. Jason coached us how to proceed through every curve and hill, stopped for frequent breaks, set the gears when larger changes coming up, brought water, had eyes on the back of his head, and was always a shout away. No idea how he does it.

Amazing Experience! - Jason was an amazing guide for our first mountain bike adventure. We were celebrating my husband's 70th birthday and it was perfect. The views were breathtaking. Jason was such a great teacher and so patient with us. And his dog joining us was the best. We can't wait for the next adventure!
