    I love the amount of confidence and strength you need to do this and just the arrogance of narrowly overtaking people but then complaining when it happens to you.well done.

      @@benher6934 it was around the 29 minute mark. they were on a wide trail but someone still came past him in the most difficult way possible. Nearly took each other out by making such a move.

    That was intense I couldn’t even see what we were doing, but just the sound effects and everything else and the screeching of the brakes… it’s your blind friend from Tucson Arizona enjoying your videos…21 isn’t bad after how many people started. That’s really good proud of you.❤❤❤

    @a8f235 Před 2 měsíci +2

    Good that there's no loud music or anything, just listening to you working hard which makes one appreciate it even more because you loose so much of it if you just throw some music over. Then you get all the ambient noises as well which adds to the immersion.

  • @Wabit01
    @Wabit01 Před 5 měsíci +26

    This is an excellent watch, love the moments when you drift out and manage to recover. Being right on the edge of it for such a sustained period of time… that is damn hard work. Big well done, be proud of that one.

    Congratulations it was a exceptional race! Yes: the Technik is the tactic! Must wait for
    the end of "the mass effect", then waiting &
    catching the wide ranges
    Congratulations!
    You were extraordinary!
    The scene in the forest is my favourite!
    You were able to spare your energy until the end +
    firmly keeping the track in the rumble!

    This is some of the craziest biking I've ever seen, but it looks like so much fun. I wish that we had this around when I was a kid, I definitely would've loved to had done this at least 1 in my life. But I gotta say that these guys definitely got a lot of balls to do this it looks like it takes a ton of stamina, concentration, and definitely preparation just to even attempt something of this magnitude.
