Fck specialized. They ruined this crit.

This is awesome, would love to see one of these for every RHC stage

What you dont from the shots is how dam hard it is to pull up for the corners. All the scandos and lockups. A fixie is a scary beast in a bunch. Better them than me. Kudos

I could watch this all day

amazing doc,

Specialized in Bklyn reminds me of TeamSky in France. But as the owners of the race it is a bit Crooklyn.

Man i hope you guys put the full race video on you tube. I can't come and see the live race or even watch the streaming because i live on the otherside of the planet :(

Loved seeing Team Aventon in the mix near the end vs companies like Specialized. I just picked up a Mataro this week.

Specialized went and recruited ex-track pro's from Europe to win this shit.. lol..

Drinking Game: take a drink every time someone says SPECIALIZED. You'll lose your memory before the end of this video.

This looks like a super cool race.

Great event!

Couldn't get past the fact that they used some kind of a "fan noise" fill audio track in the background of the race scenes. You hear some guy yell what sounds like "DILLON!" every 21 seconds on the second OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

Not really, some of the early riders were winning with the Langester Pro so they decided to actually start supporting those riders and then brought in a couple pros as well.

What about the girls race?

Do one of these for the London Race !

Even though the women's race wasn't covered in this video I had a great time watching! Thanks a lot for creating it!

Can't wait to watch this!

These Crits are so much more entertaining to watch than any other disciplines in cycling.

Awsome!!!!😀 australia ???

unashamed advertising for specialized. Call it what it is- a 45min commercial

Sounds like some vhs tape commentary

If the trophy was an actual hook that would be a little bit more appropriate than a medallion.

I ride a Specialized Enduro expert carbon.... but if I hear the Word "Specialized" one more time.... or "controlling the race/pace" I'm gonna lose my shit

Those guys are crazy riding on an almost no-brake bike at such high speed. More crazy thing is, they have to make a sharp turn sometimes! Nice!

Why would they have barriers with massive holes in them?

This is like Nascar as opposed to Formula One

Pardon my ignorance, but how is different than any other 'professional' race? Professional racers and teams seem to dominate this and while everyone can enter, there is a slim chance an amateur can win. I don't think teams should be allowed. Decent coverage though.

Unsanctioned, less barriers for entry. Everyone gets an equal shot to enter. The later years were more difficult for individuals vs the earlier years of the race.

TURN ON AUTOMATIC SUBTITLES PLZ

had no idea there was so much strategy

kind of unfair advantage with SPONSORED TEAMS . l d say NO TEAMS ALLOWED with paid pros ,should be individuals only . Of course sponsors allowed BUT NO TEAMS !! l say that because teams always gang up on everyone else who isnt in a team which to me is cheating as a group !!!

It’s kind of what makes the race what it is. Cyclists of different levels all on the same course. In the early years there were more solo/small team riders but as time went on more teams got involved. The series in different countries is also ideal for companies that can afford to pay their teams to travel.

Bag Balm. It's what farmers use on a cow's udders when they get chapped, but don't let that freak you out. It works REALLY well on any abrasion. Slather it on good and then cover it. Report your findings. amazon has it

You should make kids versions of the crits in each crit

i hate crits. too violent for me, and way too risky. i am amazed there aren't more crashes

why would everyone else allow the front riders to hold them back? no-one even tried to close at all .

Any dopping test?

This is how cycling should be done!

How much money does the winner make?

"headwind" my ass. His hidden motor ran out of juice. Most clear cut visual evidence of mechanical doping I have ever seen. So you have a couple big corporate guys mechanically doping, who can run through or pull away from the field at their leisure, with ease, and a bunch of every day guys fighting their guts out in a dangerous pack, thinking they have a chance. No thanks.

It is very disappointing that the women's race is not covered. Could have been a nice documentary. You should think about stream the races live for the fans who can't attend and also release the full races as you have done in the past, although maybe closer to when the event has happened.

A lot of fixed gear crit are open to any level and don't test. Some of the bigger races do. Red hook is the biggest. Its just my opinion but I think if they're gonna be open to any class or level of rider then they should test. But that's racing.

The commentator of this video is funny. But good video overall.

If everytime "specialized" is mention I get $100, I'd probably be able to buy a Dosnoventa frameset with bomb components

You just don't celebrate second place in cycling!

And the took it out of business too.

Cycling is one of the sports where I prefer to watch women athletes over the men and they didnt even mention em. Shout out to the ladies on the Aventon cycling team! Hard working bunch!

A 1 km crit? Wtf?

Not even a mention of the women's race!? That's weak guys. A woman won the first ever RHC, showing the men how racing is done. Show them some love. Crit racing is for women, too.

Very poor documentary considering the opportunity for epic cinematography. The narrator is terrible and creates zero sense of drame, competition and rivary. Missed opportunity in a big way to promote a very cool racing series with huge potential

Dude I kind of get it but would it be the worst idea to give these guys a rear brake or coaster? Feels like they’re trying to get somebody killed

Seems like it would be a lot safer if they just rode single speed with brakes. Or have some runoff area on the sides of the course instead of iron bars. This is like running the Isle of Mann TT on speedway motorcycles.
