Great video, man! Welcome to the SoCal Crit Scene. You rode pretty smoothly, nice work. A quick thought that might help improve safety overall: at 6:00 I think that’s you from someone else’s cam sort of taking a line from outside-in when the field is moving wide. Keep in mind you really only get to choose your line if you’re on the front of the race. That far back in the pack is where crashes happen because someone decides that their line is better than that of the field and people in front of them. If you had stood up the bike like that and weren’t the guy furthest outside, that could have likely led to more carnage. The corner is super wide, if you’re on the outside there’s really no reason to squeeze the four riders underneath. That slows the race down and causes that slinky in the pack. Just some food for thought. Anyway, great first race result! Hope to see you at the next one 🤙🏼
Thanks for the tips! I will be at the La Verne GP this Saturday. Hopefully, I'll see you out there!
Fantastic Video! The jumping back and forth with A FASTER ME footage was pure art. The voice over made things exciting. A great job racing too!
Thanks bud!
We’ll done, more stats next time.
Great video! Keep them coming.
Thanks bud! And thanks for the extra footage! Hopefully I'll see you at the next round.
@@thedoctorchocolate I'll be at the Ontario round for sure. Probably not CBR.
Great production and story telling!
Thanks bud! New vids are on the way!
Love the vid man🤙🏼
Thanks man! If you're starting there I've got 3 whole crazy seasons. Half in the books and two more in the works.
Great video bro. 👍🏼 I plan to race next season. Will be my first time racing!
Thanks dude! I have to warn you, it gets addicting!
great job
Thanks bud!
Greetings from Poland
Thanks bud! Welcome to my channel!
Dooope!
Thanks!
Nicely done! Looks intense.
Thanks, John! It was way more intense than I ever expected. Hope you and Amanda are doing well!
it was a less than C+ effort...dont praise minor efforts
Dang! Funny how a packed grid of motorcycles aint no thang but watching a tight pack of bicycles made me sweat!! Great job!
Haha thanks, Tony! Before the race I thought to myself, how crazy could this really be compared to racing motorcycles. After the race I thought, "holy shit that was wild!"
The throttle is easy...bikes shows how real/mentally tuff an individual is....
At least you tried
Wheels with too much power, it is good to use the gears, and the other thing, the last Lap grab the rudder from below for more power, good luck....
"Crash Fest" title to attract viewers I guess?
Well, considering that was my first crit race, I thought two crashes in one race was considered a crash fest. Now, three years into racing, I can say with confidence that 2 crashes per race is about average lol.
Good job, great video.. Terrible music. Are you in the medical field, or is the honorific "Dr." for fun?
😂send me your playlist for the next vid!
@@thedoctorchocolate commentary and sounds of the race.
I wish Lance Armstrong still competed
less video work and more real training will get you where you need to be just past Turn #3 to attack versus sucking wheel
Good advice! I'll think about that, the next time I'm out on track. "Less video work, more training."
@@thedoctorchocolate keep doing what your doing. Great video. I'm definitely using this video to motivate me for my first crit this weekend. 👍🏽
@@gilbucle Thanks bud! Good luck this weekend! Wish I could be at this round! Just remember, always protect your front wheel and you'll be good.
