  • I agree that the dialogue is absolutely cringeworthy and when I first saw this I had to really block it all out to actually enjoy the visuals.
    That said I've followed Patrick Seabase for a while and personally I think he does some pretty amazing rides.
    I saw a reddit a while ago full of a bunch of old (probably similar vintage to me) guys all slagging him off and saying that this ride is nothing special and is no more difficult than if it were done on a regular road bike and he was a fool for 'ruining' his tyres - as if he even gives a shit! Well, fuck them; I doubt a single one of them could have even finished it on fixed.
    Anyway, nothing to see here; as you were...

  • @nefarious @aniki
    yeah guys, in no way was it any remark on the ride... that part's crazy and thus my 'felt bad' statement, as it felt the post could be taken as being dismissive. maybe i'll try watching with the sound off 🤣

  • Sure thing; totally realised that. I think he gets a bad rep as he tends to subscribe to the 'hipster' image albeit probably unintentionally. Then again so do I except I think I get a pass because I'm almost 50.?!
    There's a version on youtube where all the dialogue is French or German (I forget) and it's much more agreeable.
    Reminds me of MC Solaar; I hate that kind of music ordinarily but he raps in French so because I have absolutely no idea what he's saying I quite like it...

  • Oh not having a go at you. The nonsense being chatted is absolutely prime for this thread and it's deservedly in here. I was checking myself as much as anything else.
