Excellent video. The use of multiple cameras was a nice touch. Looks like you were somewhere in Malibu, but I have never seen a one way touge around there. That road looked like a lot of fun.

Thanks James. I'm surprised that you figure that it's Malibu, yet, you don't know that road

What is think fish?

And I almost always see someone hiking up tuna. I was surprised when I didn't see anyone coming up, then towards the end I was thinking to myself "wow, no one is coming up today.... Oh, Never mind" lol

Think fish. It was a hint to the other poster regarding the name of the road. I figured if you wanted the actual road name spoken, you would have said it in your reply to him, but you didn't so I didn't.

In the past 5 years, I've driven Tuna Canyon at least once a month every month. I have rarely seen the "hiker" types going up the road beyond the third stop sign. Maybe I have been very fortunate or I just happen to go at times when they are less prevalent.

Down at the bottom more bumpy section, especially near the area prone to mud slides, I've seen all sorts of oddness.

The skateboarders are the ones I think are just flat crazy. But to each his own, I suppose.

I googled "1 way road in Malibu" and found out it was Tuna. I then immediately jumped in my car and scoped it out.
Fun road, but a little above my skill level. Those off camber hairpins are a little brutal for my taste. I had trouble keeping my revs up as well.
It seems perfect for a bike or skateboard, as long as you have no fear of death. lol.

Used my iPhone 5s and just a mount on the driver window so it's very shaky.

A quick run of one of my favorite roads. It's difficult to tell from the video, but there are a lot of elevation changes and bankings on the road. It's amazing that they build roads like these. It's almost as if the people that were building this road were designing it to be driven hard haha .
