Disaster Strikes at BWR Utah
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 04. 2024
- Belgian Waffle Ride Utah is a 104 mile race consisting of mostly gravel roads, with only a few miles of pavement and good chunk of rad singletrack for the shredders out there! Last year I pulled off a top 5, but this year the field was quite a bit faster and I had my work cut out if I wanted to get a noteworthy result. However, didn't quite feel myself and ended up having a mechanical mid-way through. Rallied for a 25th and still had a good time out on course.

We used to say “that’s a fourteen year old in this race!” about you 😂
14 yr old on a CX bike, I luv it!
Excellent video. I really enjoy the narrated recaps. Keep up the awesome work. Cheers!
I always appreciate your choice of music in these videos it's why I watch them
I could not find my lungs at that race either. Good to hear I wasn't the only one. : ) Love the recaps!
If your not used to elevation sucks to be you, telling myself that at 9k+ ft skiing in Utah from Boston
Always a good day when a Drew Dillman narrated video drops.
Even as a Roadie I have to say that the Singletrack looks really nice
Love this video format. Great footage and your vibe is perfect to follow you from the indoor trainer.
very nice ride
Even as a local on the mtb, following the trails at Three Peaks is tough. Nice vid, solid effort.
sick report bro!
How many watts is flutter blue jacket losing?
Cool video format. I really enjoy hearing the story while watching the action. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Glad you enjoyed the single track in Cedar City. That "Three Peaks" section is where the NICA kids race, including State Championships. Utah is Mtn Biking heaven.
Great report, sorry about the pedal. In 30 years of riding SPDs for off road I've never broken one. In fact I still have my first set of spds.
Thanks for the video!
That 3d printed trophy back there sure looks awesome
Great video! Killing it this year!
Good luck in your CA races!
Good luck at sea other and BWR Cali!
A fellow KY rider; love it. Ur def strong and great video
What pedals were you on?
What pedals are you using?
Your video production has gotten so strong!
Great commentary.
Orange bike is Emilio Cervantes, 1st place 60+
Great video and commentary. Thanks for the upload, and making gravel racing viewing watchable.👍👊✌🖖
Awesome video, thanks for posting this! I also do poorly at elevation, but unfortunately for my lungs, high elevation singletrack is awesome. Do you have any thoughts on how you'll handle the elevation at Leadville? Thanks again and good luck this season!
the new Bonk Bros Logo looks good!
There’s enough off road that this should just be a mountain bike race. Back before gravel existed, some of our mountain bike races were essentially gravel races. Of course this was in Alaska and the dirt roads were so washboarded that one would have to be insane not to ride a mountain bike; a gravel bike would have been brutal. But there’s quite a bit of proper off road in this race.
Great video.... bummer about the pedal.
Kentucky? I’m in Kentucky, too! Great videos, man. BWR seems a bit too gnarly for my old crippled self, but I’d love to hit Big Sugar one day.
I liken Bonk Bros to the early days of Beavis and Butt-head. 😂
It is interesting to note that gravel racers on uneven surfaces can ride a line while road racers on perfectly smooth boulevards jerk sideways with each pedal stroke and smash into each other CONSTANTLY.
Thank you for recording as much as you did, i hate those videos where someone shows you a 10 second clip and then talks at the camera for the next 5 minutes, repeat.
Did you have a hydration backpack cause 2 bottles of water surely isn’t enough for 5 hours ?
welcome to the west
Why is riding on the drops a bad thing for you? I have way more control on them. Better grip, braking efficiency and lower center of gravity. I say this being one of the fastest riders on technical stuff. Very cool videos. Always watching.
I thought that comment funny as well. Drops on single track is mandatory to better control the bike. I couldn’t imagine staying on the hoods through chunk.
Are you shooting with a GoPro or insta360? Awesome video!
thank u for not wearing those damn red bibs!
As an outsider, I think the course would have been clearer if the flags on the left and the right were different colors.
Are most of those guys riding 45mm tires?
crockpotinater!
I bet that 14yr old has a vo2 of 86
what tires are you running?? You roll with inserts??
They look like maxxis ramblers
He says in the video they’re Challenge Getaways. They do look like Ramblers!
1 point for mtb pedals for gravel
Lowkey, gravel looks fun. Can't afford another bike right now though.
Highkey
It is fun, get a Revolt if you're on a budget they're awesome.
It's the best. Sell one to buy one
Sell your other bike.
Somehow there is a discrepancy, the result page said 36th place
14 yr old -> Myles The Machine Perry!
Great video - edit quality is fire! Keep it up.
18th
Good video but the music is extremely distracting. The sound of a hub and a tire rolling is music to our ears anyway!
The music is.the best I love it.
Then make your own videos the way you think everyone should make them.
I agree. Would like the music volume to a lower level and not drown out other noises in the video
I don’t know why but I’ve always thought there isn’t grass in Utah. It’s just desert and Mormons.
Bruh.. I love your videos (truly), but the amount of excuses you drop in each one is wild.
DUMP THE CRAP MUSIC PLEASE! Just noise.
I guess Jesus didn't want you to win. Sorry bud
Didn’t pray hard enough 🤷🏼♂️
pedal broke. mediocre finish. kind of a click-baity title, no?
Cool video
