    Love it, and love the edit and music. There's a lot of this kind of content out there now, and the cuts from Josh and Ryan are unique and different. I'm a fan! Great ride man, that last 160mi looked like a sufferfest!

    absolutely love the music as well! jungle, drum and bass, dubstep, and garage are personally what gets me through rides. I think it’s a very nice personal touch on this genre of video

    Really enjoyed that. I love it when people put the extra effort in the edit using suitable music and mixing it up. I got a real feel for the ride. Much better than edits which are 90% of the rider's face and virtually no feel of the scenery or terrain. All the best in the TCR.

    Great to see this what a beautiful countryside. Apologies for armchair critique but a very bold edit style. Cool for a shorter promo but quite hard to watch at this length - the scenery supplies most of the eye dazzling trickery. In any case thanks for making and sharing I know how much work these are.

    Nice one Josh. This might be a personal opinion, but the music and editing take away from the video for me. I'd rather hear the sounds of the ride over music and the jumpy editing was a bit much on the eyes. Not to take away from the amazing scenery and great result, just a personal opinion.

    I have to say I'm with you on this one. The photography is breathtaking and the commentary comes from a guy who knows his stuff. Let's listen to Josh and let the pictures do the rest. I suggest no silly visual effects or janky music, for what it's worth.

    I guess the editing could be toned down but then it'd look like everyone else's :) Music was on point. Anyway, well done. How much HAB was on this? Looked a bit easier surface than AMR but how would you compare the two, Josh? Cheers

  • @joshibbett

    @joshibbett

    Ай бұрын

    Comparable to Atlas in terms of surface... rough broken tracks at times, but also a fair bit of tarmac and smooth gravel... the balance seemed about right. Hikeabike is fairly minimal, again probably comparable to Atlas but over a longer race duration. Also dependant on conditions and fatigue levels... sometimes I was just pushing as cycling was the same speed so it made no real difference
