Video: Greg Watts & Johny Salido Ride Oaxaca in 'Watts Happening' Season 3
Greg Watts has been itching to ride abroad. Finally getting the chance to make it happen, he heads to Oaxaca, Mexico where he meets up with native superstar Johny Salido in the first episode of Watts Happening Season 3.
One of his primary goals was to build a new ramp for the local riders to be able to work on their jumps and improve their riding. After finishing the build and hitting jumps with the locals, Watts continues his trip with some trail riding at 10,000 feet, Lucha libre wrestling matches, exploring ancient ruins, and a few crashes in between… Watts Happening Season 3 starts with a bang.
New episodes coming soon. Catch the previous seasons of Watts Happening here

I got to ride one day with these guys beginning of December. Every day I think about going back. The trails are the perfect mix of fall line single track, rough sections, and built up features. I definitely want to go back for a full week of riding, but a day was great too.
I was in the state of Oaxaca for two weeks for my honeymoon, a week on the beach and week in the city. It was absolutely fantastic in every way, especially the food, and I wish I was still there.

It’s nice to have high production quality, great riding, while mixing in lifestyle. It’s like a Parts Unknown with a MTB twist. Great show!

Dios, Javi...gotta stop trying to take those Huicho lines or you're gonna break the other foot!
For real, Oaxaca has mind-blowing trails, incredible food and culture, and great people. Went over Day of the Dead a couple of months ago with Oaxaca Bike Expeditions, and had the trip of a lifetime. Gotta get back!
