Mitch, you're more than a bike content creator obsessed with riding steep hills, you're a video essayist--and a damn good one at that. The production value, narration, and even self-awareness you've demonstrated is insane. I'm genuinely looking forward to your next video.

@MitchBoyer Год назад

Thanks dude, I really appreciate that 🙏

@BreakTheCycleCommuting Год назад

Thoughts to the truck driver (I think you did a great job narrating and reflecting on this tragedy). That's such a harrowing experience. I'd be absolutely terrified getting passed on those turns. You deserve more subs. Top notch story telling

@lowlifescum Год назад

I commend you my man for not using the truck as thumbnail for views, you showed true compassion and respect. You’re are lucky enough to be there for fun- it’s day to day life for the locals. Stay strong and be kind to yourself

@ForGlory1 Год назад

R.I.P to the truck driver. I hope you have healed from that.

I feel very lucky to have found your channel when I was trying to find out what is the best paper for printing and fast forward to now seeing you bike up death road.

@daztastic147 Год назад

Amazing the biggest risk for crashes seems to be those narrow stretches and big falls but that truck seemed to crash in a very unlikely place

@wizkidcyclist9968 Год назад

Hi Mitch, What an amazing video.. ! to be honest I was a little disappointed initially when I just saw the one video of Bolivia downhill and was wondering why is there no video on Death Road?.. and i guess it was worth the wait. The accident bit was very scary and must have been really disturbing to witness it. Sending you lots of good wishes and positivity. Kudos to you and the entire group for a monstrous effort! Keep the great content coming.. btw, the BMC looks dapper.. Wish we had a TPC option in India.

@luckygoldpanda Год назад

This was epic, Mitch! Kudos to the whole group for making it up there. Also well done on respecting the complicated and dangerous history of the road.

@L̐̔-z9k Год назад

Amazing, stunning, motivating, beautifully filmed and put together. Wow. Hands down your best video yet, or should I say your best film yet? As calling this masterpiece just 'youtube video' would be an insult.

@MitchBoyer Год назад

Wow, thank you!

@vince1175 Год назад

Watching your video was the best thing this Monday! Thank you for the damn good content, story telling, humor and great shots of the scenery! Keep it coming @Mitch Boyer

@ciclear Год назад

Great video. Congrats and thanks for visiting La Paz! I am embarrassed to say I never did this ride uphill. It is on my bucket list. I was born in La Paz and used to race with Chelo back in the day. I live now in a part of Texas where everything is flat as a pancake.

@MitchBoyer Год назад

Thanks dude! La Paz was incredible. And Bolivia is beautiful, hopefully I can go back someday.

@sephiroth127 2 месяца назад

If the truck driver was wearing the seatbelt, probably nothing would have happened to him. Don't feel bad about that, you were just a person sharing the same road. What you can do is to remind people how important it is to always wear the seatbelt, maybe you'll save a life one day.

@davidgeorge9233 Год назад

Great achievement Mitch that looks one hell of a climb. I found the audio seemed out to me, your voice was a bit drowned out by the music.

@MitchBoyer Год назад

Appreciate it dude! I'll work on my sound mixing :)

@oystercatcher943 8 месяцев назад

Brilliant video. Climbing the Alps at 4000m at top of Barre des Ecrins was my limit physically and mentally very overwhelming. My very fit friend suffered at 3200m getting delirious and needing help. Altitude is tough and very unpredictable. Well done!

@goodcompanycoffee Год назад

Fantastic piece of content, feels like a TV level quality of production with a charismatic host. Bravo Mitch!

@guyroebuck8510 10 месяцев назад

@charliedillon1400 Год назад

I did a three day trek in Las Yungas jungle area here with a guide on the old Inca trail and only saw a handful of native people the whole trip. We returned to LA Paz on the Death Road in a combi van. I fell asleep on the ride and woke up to a waterfall going over the van and down the vertical hillside about six inches away. Wild place.

@YoutubeAnthony Год назад

Savage ! Man I enjoyed that video! Was afraid a place like this and experience would be short video missing so much. It was perfect length for that journey and got to enjoy every part of it with no questions left unanswered. Well done sir.

@KelvinSuddith Месяц назад

I keep coming back to this moment with the truck driver, and I’m just amazed by you, Mitch. You were present of mind enough to try and help. You were aware enough to be present for the moment, and you were aware enough to know how it affected you immediately after. I’m coming back to this video for a third time, and I think the weight is finally setting in. I hope you are good now

5:26 with a bit of research the most matching butterfly to that I could find was "Chalypyge zereda". Blue to teal in colour on top and yellow from below like the one flying next to you. I may be wrong but I always get hung up on details like that :D

@RobinCapper 8 месяцев назад

What a moving video, the climb, people... Thanks for sharing the complete experience, including the sobering aspects. Have cycled at that sort of altitude in the Tibetan/Nepalese Himalaya, but interested in this ride too.

Dude, you’re allowed to be a tourist. At least you stopped, and you stayed. You caused nothing and if anything this vid will bring benefits to the Bolivian situation.

@jayel27 Год назад

Just found your content. Great video. Love the filming and story. But please please please just strap the damn mic to your chest or boom it. I watch so much YT and that trend is like nails on the chalk board (to me). I’m nobody and I’ll sub and continue to watch your content because its great. But the mic… You put so much time and effort into your content, you have the equipment, just mic up. Or boom it. Damn Danny Gervits… damn him for starting the trend… I get a quick video on the trail and quickly grabbing the mic. But in the studio… with lights, a tripod and probably an external monitor setup… just give the mic the attention it deserves. Looking forward to more of your videos. Cheers! 😂🚴

Kudos to you, Mitch, both for the ride and the engaging video. i can empathize with the altitude "sickness" effects. I remember riding Haleakala and getting a headache and those fluorescent sparkles in my vision above 3000m.

@williamforbes7156 Год назад

the survivors guilt you describe is normal, but i don't want to be misunderstood. . . that could have been anyone else descending behind that driver and the nature of the job is that wrecks are a part of life. i'm not the guy to post up in the comments and demand that you get back on the bike, listen go at your own pace... but do not give up your life for some existential crisis beyond your control. that individual wouldn't want that and i am certain you don't want that. I'll leave you with the formal notion wishing you well sir, thanks for sharing with us. Good Luck.

I thing i learned early on when i started cycling: always take a light when doing longer rides. One never knows what might happen and the worst thing to happen is to be stranded in the dark with no light.
