The 2.02 crash had me jumping too close one ,respect to you's guy's for the time and effort you put in to all that is a hard sport. Like your style cheers for the video.10/10
Haha Nice commentary! That was a really good effort at catching the peloton. If you get dropped often, you should focus on your lactic threshold and less on VO2max. Explosive strength training exercises would help a lot as well. Do pro cyclists really hold 30 mph average or is it an exaggeration? I have a little over 70 VO2max running, but my cycling speeds vary so much and end up averaging 19ish mph.
I started racing at age 38 and spent my first two seasons getting dropped at every turn and sprinting like mad to catch up. I just looked at it as a reverse breakaway. Still like Phil Liggett is in my ear talking about what a massive gear I am pushing and how long I have been away from the group, but it is just in reverse. This year I am hoping to set the Cat 5 world on fire. Or just maybe sit in the pack and not get dropped. It would be funny if you talked like this during the race!!!
I don't care about the haters here. I liked your narration, it's kind of humorous and REALLY expresses your excitement at that moment in the race. Just wish there were some recumbents on the ride, but thats cool anyway. Ride On!
i know tjis feeling... i tell a story: so i broke back shifter and sit on car going in car... and my team mate drop off to the group and i take him bike (becouse im leader on the team :D ) and go on car wheel going to technical cars and chasing group and then immediate sprint and crash i fall very hard... but fast jump on bike and again chasing group...finally caught and finished 5th... (sorry bad english)
This looks much too dangerous for the riders. You need to have a closed circuit with various marshalls, officials and medical personel staffed and ready for this to be safe and enjoyable.
I could tell there was trouble brewing when it slowed and did the 'slinky'. I can almost imagine tempers flaring, words and elbows flying at riders in such a quick first lap.
His commentary followed what he was thinking at the time of the race, which is different. I don't mind it too much.
@chavezcycling Thanks for the SPAM invitation, but I'm not interested in overdramatization commentary of overly-long cycling videos. When developing "color commentary" for any live-action drama, it's useful to remember the maxim that "if you have to *tell* the audience that it's dramatic, then you've failed". Events are either *obviously* dramatic, or they're not. Saying that it's dramatic does not make it so. It just makes the commentator seem less credible and more foolish.
@Olgalevin84 Unfortunately, here in Florida they rarely close off the roads unless it is a crit or circuit race. I agree with you it is very dangerous.
@chavezcycling Good job catching up in this video but I really do hope that you have a strong hand of protection over you next time you race. That is very dangerous when roads are not blocked off for cycling races.
@chavezcycling Dude, when you have flown 50 metres off of a near sheer cliff-face drop in the Alps, then you can call it a 'scary crash' and or dangerous riding conditions. I'm not saying that there aren't many other perils in the world of cycling, but watching this kinda offends me! Good luck & enjoy your cycling (but think about giving the commentary a rest).
Great sport but I like any motor sport first because it's more alive, but when it comes to trial bikes, I like Danny Macaskill - Industrial Revolutions style.
Dude, you crack me up. Narrating your video in real time after you have filmed it, I love it! I can just imagine you talking while you are watching this, then the part with the crash, nice narration there. Great stuff!
Dude, you crack me up. Narrating your video in real time after you have filmed it, I love it! I can just imagine you talking while you are watching this, then the part with the crash, nice narration there. Great stuff!
Love the video, I think I like the commentary even more......and the message at the end.....Never quit, always keep moving forward, sooner or later you will make it.
Your right, never give up and keep moving forward. I'm road cyclist myself and I'm very addictive to this sport literally. But, keep up the good work.
Hey Joel, very exciting race and great video buddy I just subbed you!, I'm listening and watching...The Captain... if you will enjoy my music I will enjoy your racing!
That's a great video, way to stick with it and keep from getting dropped. You're right, there are important lessons in cycling. Thanks for the advice.
Very Inspirational Video Chavez, I therefore commend you as a Soul brother. A Soul Brother or Sister is a term I use to classify any cyclist as being a Cool dude or Dudess. Keep on Riding and inspire everyone around the world. Good Job!
jaja this guy s voice reminds me of my peruvian boss at a bike shop i worked at, he was five feet tall but always got off his bike to try and fight motarists. lol
Hey man, thank u for the invitation...this here is a nice video and your channel is very interesting. These guys up here are working their butts off, nice speed. Do you also ride?
@griceifiable GOPRO HD makes an amazing new all weather HD helmet cam. if i had to guess, i'd say thats what he's using. check it out on youtube. there are tons of sick vids
People saying this isn't proper commentary need to go find a sense of humor. Another amazing video and even more amazing commentary ! A lot of us started following you after the last time you had to chase at the crit
@DrummerNigel7 I unclipped the left foot to avoid the bicycle and the sand around the ditch. I don't think I kept my cool...didn't you hear me screaming??
