😳😳🤯 did I just get a shoutout at 15:39 as being one of the top "people who watch amateur GoPro bike racing footage in their free time"? 😒😒 LOL. It sounds like this James Kim guy is a husband and dad of 4 young kids who is far past his athletic prime and wants to live vicariously through these first person perspective racing videos... and who wants to have frequent mental vacations because he is normally swimming in diapers, drool, and inconsolable screaming 🤔 Very cool that it was one of your friends who knew my name lol! ✌👊 #amateurgoprobikeracingfootagedegenerate As usual, and most importantly, great video. Enjoyed it!
Dude don't worry I'm only 26 and I'm already at that point - just without the diapers and maybe a little less drool! 😂😂 Thanks as always for checking out the video! One of my best followers 🥰🥰
@@wackery_zeimer You'll get there one day! I may be a Cat 5 racer, but I am a Cat 1 dad 😂 (most of the time...). Anyway, I'm feeling the bromance! ❤ I appreciate your videos, dude! Now, appreciate mine... 🤣🤣 jk
Most technical crit? You should have been at Sand City. 10 corners in under .75 miles. I just loaded my race video with commentary of it. I love your method of getting a group of people to comment on the race.
Thanks for checking out the video! Cornering takes a lot of practice. Biggest thing is trusting your equipment, but it takes time to build up that trust. I run 28mm tires. In this race, with a lot of cornering and a chance of rain, I was running 50 PSI front and 60 PSI rear. I weigh about 150 lbs. If you have a long/twisty hill you can do some repeats on, going up and down helps a bunch, since you get to know the descent and corners. Racing often and hopping into big crits will boost your cornering skills too - if you don't corner as hard as the rest of the peloton does, you get dropped! Velominati Rule #64: Cornering confidence increases with time and experience.This pattern continues until it falls sharply and suddenly.
