Hey what’s that one video, it’s about a decade old, has four dudes in a bike park, there’s a corny intro to introduce each rider as they walk their bikes towards the camera.

Watching Safa’s decent in these windy conditions he’s clearly pushing it to the limit. There are maybe two instances in this vid where it could have ended badly still manages to keep himself upright

watched this series with a lot of ??? over my head as he clamped down a 9/8 shim right onto a threaded 1" steerer and enjoyed going into the comments of everyone saying it’s going to fail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7HKCGBr5Ks

I have no idea how you finished even a single GCN video. To borrow some of their local phrasing, they’re insufferable twats. Gits. Tossers. Barmy prats.

So shimano and probably park are giving him parts and or money to be dumb on tv without even checking in to make sure he’s not encouraging x-bikers to do things that are dangerous?

Is that a bad emoji, shamp?
They’re too small for my old eyes and I can’t remember what they mean anyway but I will ride over there and push you off your kids bike!
No, I thought we all agreed that was the laugh emoji

on the phone my old eyes can’t tell between him and runny
Kinda like the Toyota ad last year with the rider fully kitted for downhill on a Walmart bike, I’m guessing this is going for the positive agitation. It would be on brand for GCN to do it for the lulz.
I like to use Cunningham’s Law at work when I’m dealing with people withholding information.
I mean you hit one mild bump on the road and you are eating shit, right? I could see it all holding together in the stand, but I don’t see him actually riding the thing in the video
was looking around for french stew recipes and struck upon this british dude who seems to go around europe cooking and eating on bike. everything about him seems to be as expected, from the butterfly bars to the way he really chews on his pronunciation of every word and name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd5gQ_USTkU

Back in June at Unbound 2024 Brenna Wertz had a whole bunch of issues with his Rene Herse tires.
You hear the unboundgravel horror stories, but naively think that can’t possibly happen to me. Well yesterday it did… 14 plugs, 9 CO2s, multiple wheel swaps, and ample time spent on the side of the road.

His downfall was captured on video:
It’s an interesting impact, the whole front of the bike is displaced including what appears to be rotation/bending of the headtube, and everything else:
Rare to see such a big hit captured clearly on video (if no clip, it’s at 24:23 in the full video)
Also, spent way too long on this, going to try not to do these things anymore next year
