I have watched a ton of RAAM videos and this is the first time the team didn't break down at some point and be at each others throats. A true testament of team work great job!!!!

One year later and im still mind blown at how good this is omg!!!!! 14k views so proud of you should be 14 million tho

Back in the nineties when I helped Jerry Tatrai (an Australian RAAM rider) to set a Darwin to Adelaide cycling record, I made a small spray boom that extended out of the side of the van and was connected to a small hand powered water tank to spray him and cool him down. It worked so well that when he rode RAAM later on they made a better version that was electrically driven. It worked so well in the desert that the other riders complained about the advantage he had.

Are you willing to share any information on this design?

@@bitsurfer0101 My original contraption consisted of a 3 litre hand pumped plastic garden spray, and a small hose that was attached to a fishing rod with tape, so as the hose ran along the rod, at intervals along the hose I placed garden mist nozzles. When it was pumped up to pressure it let out a cloud of water mist, which we held in front of Jerry. I assume when he rode in RAAM they used a motorized version plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet.

Very impressed with the professionalism and team work depicted in the documentary. This team is THE Machine.

I'm waaaaay late the game, and I sincerely apologize to T for the delay. T did an absolutely incredible job on this documentary as you already know. If anyone has questions about our race, please post and I promise to monitor and respond. I personally used all the past RAAM docs as motivations and training aids for our race so if I can help or answer questions please ask :) And yes, I ate a McDonalds cheeseburger and vanilla milkshake in Brawley CA...and yes I puked it right back up. It sounded so good at the time

From one Bergen to another, what a great achievement. Bergen Hill was a model of how its done.

the academy award goes to taylor kelliher for best director / filmer / editor / awsome youtube video making of awesomeness haha great job on the new edit so good man again great job

The P5X is such a weapon. These are the second and third superbikes I've seen in RAAM.

Very nice. Gets me motivated... thx

I watch a lot of documentaries about RAAM and the Trans Am. I was expecting to see a go-pro/ ametuer film. This took me totally by surprise. Do you have a DVD copy I can purchase? I would love to add to my collection.

@@TaylorKelliher Yes, would love a link to download, but if you end up making a copy I will gladly purchase as well. I am also letting all the people I know on Strava to check out the film. Again.....very well done!

Thanks

Of course the guy who got saddle sores was riding on a Fizik saddle. I hate those things.

What Song 11:50?

What's the difference of this race compared to the Trans Am?

You were taking relatively short pulls, how much sleep did you get?

On average, 20-30 minutes with the longest never going past an hour.

Taylor is correct, we took lots of 20-30 min breaks, it got a bit longer as the race did, just do to fatigue but an hr was the longest.

Wrong! John was not the First American to finish the solo RAAM, there have been Many. I knew Jonathon Boyer pro cyclist back in 1985 when He got pissed and destroyed Seacrest in a epic battle of solo RAAM.

为什么会用铁三车呢？

also, at 25:17 is that an eggplant on the dashboard? and again at 1:02:42??

Haha yes - not sure how that got on board?

wow, looks like somebody was able to dump some serious money into this effort! not one, but two P5x bikes?! aren't those retailing for over $10k each? I'd love to do a solo attempt, but i've got no idea how to raise the money for it with my current job. my bike + both cars costs less than one of those bikes... lol guess i gotta make up for it with fitness

HydeMyJekyll if you can pull it off in time, sleeping on the side of the street, carrying your shit on the bike, having a less quality bike in the first place, no nurse, no physio, no food car you would literally be an alien

At 1:19:30 you say John become the first American male solo rider to finish the race in 2014. That's not even close to true. Plenty of American males have soloed finished RAAM since the 80s...some even won it, multiple times. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_Across_America
