Welcome to my channel! Here, I shall share a collection of new as well as classic films and adventures going back to the early 90s up until the present day. I hope you enjoy going down memory lane with me.
I bought this movie when it came out, shortly after I moved to Seattle, and watched it SO MANY times. My girlfriend and I went to NORBA nationals when it was in Spokane and were lucky enough to see Hans Rey ride, and he even signed her shirt, which she didn’t stop grinning about for what seemed like weeks. Thanks for posting this movie, can’t wait to rewatch it after all this time!
Those triple triangle GT frames with that old-school geometry were always so beautiful to me. I still have my '96 GT Talera. No suspension at all, but it always handled (and still handles) everything I care to throw at it. What times those were!
You were a childhood idol for me brother. I ended up putting pedal clasps on my bike cause I could never hop like you 😂😂😂. Never happened. But I still show my kids your videos.
I met you in the 90s when i was about 15, you signed a copy of mtber uk for me at the malverns classic bike race, so cool to see you still riding, i really need to get my bike back out and serviced!
I had a chat with Hans the other year when Martyn Ashton did his show at Buxton. Really nice guy and down to earth, not like some of the celebrity types of there. He is well deserved of any and all respect he gets, awesome bloke
@@gerthinatorgaming5952 yep totally mr hans was doing trials demos on a course and spent a lot of time talking to and meeting fans ... i really miss the malverns classic though it was such a cool event, it was run by a guy from wolverhampton who owned a shop called mclanes cycout but sadly closed many years ago ... i also got to meet steve peat there too he was competing in the down hill competition
Good , great video. One detail. Specialized were perhaps the first American owned mass produced mountain bike manufacturer. Certainly were quick to excellerate out of the blocks. And they had the race grade mtn components However, in global production terms Kuwahara, Fuji, HBK were ahead till the latter 80s. Northern Californian's just told better stories. Thats how we got Apple products. Specialized did catch fire, and their Marketing made crappy bikes look cool. Things haven’t really changed, but Mike had his eye on two other "Marketing" companies: Nike, and IMG. Both companies knew how athletes market products better than Engineers.
I sit watching this again after watching it 3 years ago thinking what if .. Last year I promised myself id get to the alps on Mt Blanc but without a bike it didnt feel the same .. This still calls and again inspires me .
Interesting tips. Another problem to wheelie the ebike is its skeleton's weight. Unlike the normal bikes, ebikes weight double or triple their normal weight, so it's slightly hard, because not only we have to adjust the motor's speed, but, also, the normal bike's speeding gears.
