Justin Williams is an intriguing figure in the world of road cycling. Having been a pro rider for a number of years he's recently shaken things up by starting his own team. With two national criterium titles to his name and a number of other victories the Legion, or L39ION, of LA has gained huge notoriety in the USA and the globe. Whilst Jeremy was in LA Justin showed him around and helped him to dig a bit deeper into the coolest team in cycling.

@michaelalbany 4 года назад

This is probably THE BEST video GCN has put out since the original 3 presenters were working together. Justin and his brothers show what cycling is all about. Cycling is about bringing up those behind you, supporting those who love the sport, it’s about making changes to traditions while respecting where those traditions were born, but most of all it’s about family and bring all those interested in being a part of our cycling community into the fold. Jeremy, you nailed it!

GCN just has so much, and so diverse, great cycling material. This documentary was fascinating. When I see J Pow I’m always keen, but I like the way he minimised his presence and let the people tell their own story. I’m not American but I do find it refreshing to see these vids on American cycling culture. It looks much more fun than the European one, I guess as the stakes are lower. Anyway, Jeremy - keep exploring, keep documenting. This stuff is gold.

@@punkandprovocation Give us all a break. They had Emma Pooley but she left to pursue other goals. As you can (maybe?) tell, they don't just hire any jerkoff who likes cycling and they can't force people to work for them. There are loads of men out there with World Tour experience but very few women. As far as minorities go, you can't just change the history of cycling, right now, it's pretty European. I mean FFS, anyone with the resume GCN wants is like guaranteed to be European; and at the end of the day this person has to want to work for GCN and has to speak one or more of the languages in which GCN operates channels.

@markconnelly1806 4 года назад

Cycling is open to anyone who can afford the bikes and going to races. Its all about interest, passion, support, etc. The West Coast needs more events in areas where spectators can come across a race and watch it. However, only a few races or publicized to general public. Most people do not know about them. Many races are not even filmed professionally.

@CycoWarriorx 4 года назад

Mark Connelly While I agree cycling needs more support and better promotion, particularly in the sport competitive west coast, I think what Steve was touching on is while its open to anyone who can afford the bikes and race, it’s not always welcoming of "anyone"... I don’t know if that makes sense or not, but that’s a general consensus... good points nonetheless Mark.

@scottishjohn 4 года назад

Gotta say a big thank you both to Jeremy and GCN for making this film. Really never heard of the L39ion racing team or the Williams brothers but it was really fascinating to hear a bit of Justin's story and what it was like for him trying to make his mark on cycling. I guess that since cycling is quite a Euro centric sport that its always very alien for riders in the USA to make it big here and reach either World Tour or Pro Conti level. It would be really interesting to see more films like this which expose the development and domestic side of racing in the USA and try to shed some light on what the process is like for riders from non traditional cycling nations. Really great to see that Justin is actively using riders from a wider ethnic background to include them in the team and help to make the sport of cycling really appeal people from all differnt backgrounds who wouldn't usually be exposed to the sport. Really well done and a would be cool to follow up onn the story again in the future!

I met Justin at an event for Specialized Dealers last September. He sat at our dinner table one night and graciously answered questions from my curious industry peers. Eventually he told us the story of how he got into cycling with his father, and eventually how he became involved with racing. He is one heck of a nice guy, and a fierce competitor. He’s also right about pro cycling’s antiquated sponsorship and employment systems. The Williams brothers have taken 100% control of their professional careers. Personal sponsorships with companies that will get your back when you are in need of help, and teams that are more like co-ops or really families is what the future needs to be in order to ensure the survival of our sport here in the US, and to ensure the growth worldwide. Legion should be the model for Professional cycling teams from here forward.

Hands down one of, if not the best GCN videos to date. People are always more interesting and inspiring than the latest tech. Well done, loved it!

I consider this groundbreaking as a subject, focus (on a local team, on local athletes), and to some degree videography for the GCN franchise. Unexpected, and quite the weekend treat.

They're the Williams Bros are definitely a major reason why I got into crit racing. Representation matters. Thank you GCN for sharing their story to a broader audience.

Outstanding video! Thanks for taking a step in the direction towards examining cycling culture at its roots, and the truly inspirational people who are at the heart of cycling. MORE OF THIS PLEASE!

Huge fan of these guys. The Williams brothers are extremely talented, competitive, and LIT. Would love to shake their hand someday. Mad support from a CO amateur!

My face hurts from smiling for 24 minutes and 25 seconds...what a great video. These guys are so humble and inspiring! I had the pleasure of meeting Justin in Tulsa right after their Crit win in 2019.

@dmattingley 4 года назад

The best video you have ever done. Justin Williams and the Legion team are doing something amazing for the sport of cycling, inspiring communities and putting diversity into the cycling.

This was a really good presentation and streets away from the typical UK content. It’s not about the kit or science, cycling is a state of mind to most and your biggest competitor is your own mind. I like it when cyclists lay out the things that drives them

@billmontgomerie9526 4 года назад

In all my time watching this show and the presentations , this was one of the most interesting and feel good episodes, and insightful . please keep up the great work and thank you the team and back story.

This is downright fantastic content. Perhaps the top thing I have ever seen on GCN. Justin: what a great representative for the sport...and, more importantly, the people in the sport.

I just love that GCN is doing more videos in LA. As a mixed-race person, born and raised in LA, it's good to see some variety on the channel.

@lucy7594 4 года назад

Love this ♥️😍❤️ I love road cycling, I just cycle I don't see many black people riding in UK but that doesn't bother me. I just ride and and enjoy the views and say to people riding along. One day I hope we do see more of a diverse of ethnicity ❤️❤️

Thanks Lucy, glad you enjoyed this. Diversity is an important issue right now and we hope to see the sport become more inclusive and representative

Dope vid. Glad to see real homies from LA reppin the sport.

@robthompson7063 4 года назад

That was a great watch. Justin's results were already incredibly impressive, and I'm all for more style and swagger in our sport, but his commitment to his mission (to grow the sport so people like him can reach their potential) is next level. These guys, and a few of the women's teams, make me excited about the domestic scene in a new way. I let my MLB.TV subscription lapse because I'm more exited to watch USA Crits. That's kind of amazing. Kudos to Justin and the rest of the Legion crew.

@bperez2788 4 года назад

@Claymore2007 4 года назад

This is the best content from GCN that I've watched. Justin, Cory, CJ, and the rest of L39ion are fantastic people in addition to being tremendous cyclists, and I love this look into their team and their philosophy.

@Reanimator999 4 года назад

Very inspiring video. I just like how Legion cyclists are challenging the status quo and trying to make cycling cool to everyone.

@apsiilencht74 4 года назад

This is the best video GCN has ever produced, please produce more content like this. Its great and inspires everyone to get on the bike for the right reasons.

@robbchastain3036 4 года назад

A lot of Justin's trials and tribs sound like those faced by U.S. riders on the Euro pave for decades, no? It's a hard-knock life over there, no doubt, and it is great to see him and his team bring their game to the streets of California. And kudos to Specialized for their sponsorship and the free bikes for juniors for big crit wins. And it'd be nice to see an exploration of the BMX scene in California in the Seventies. The races themselves were rough and tumble--those kids were mean but that was the game--but the larger scene was beautiful, kids coming together and riding their bikes together. And I loved riding with my Mexican friends in Pacifica. Such good times with Julio and those guys. And they were fast. And we all dared each other to go faster and let's see who can go father over that jump.

@darktwin4558 4 года назад

What a great feeling watching this. Whenever I need some inspiration, I’ll come watch this. I love the way they represent the street they grew up on. It’s the culture.

@eciampa74 4 года назад

L39ION is disrupting the cycling world for the benefit of us all. Absolutely elevating the mindset of what is, and what can be for future generations of riders. The world needs the Williams brothers, their dedication, heart, commitment and focus. Ride on gentlemen, you are doing great things.
