Bike porn

Honestly, besides the last video in the small segments they are on the sand, they still walk the fucking bikes. Or use kayaks. I didn't watch all 60 minutes though.

The reason why skis make the advantage of wideness is because of the side cut. They can still carve outside of deep powder. Also the surface area and stiffness makes them tougher. I am not convinced on the purpose of those bikes. There are successful, exciting methods of trekking the Yukon, and the videos above show that those bikes are not one of them. I could add sweet melissa to a video of my commute to school and convince anyone that what I'm doing is majestic.

Also, outside of getting to the pacific northwest, i fail to find the reason for them.

These people aren't Captain Scott..they're not looking for the best, or most practical way to cover these areas...they're bike riders. They're looking for ways to challenge themselves, and for new experiences ON A BIKE. How can you say that the guys in the videos didn't succeed in their challenge, or find excitement from the trip? I've spoken to Eric Parsons a few times and he comes back from these rides so charged from the experience with a great sense of achievement...THAT is why they do it.

People go out into these places, or ride at night because they want to challenge themselves, and take a step outside their comfort zones now and then.

I know a lot of people on here fail to be inspired by some of the video's I post sometimes, or the posts i make about people that are attempting things by bike that have never been tried before, and yet love to watch a few guys in checked shirts skidding down a hill, which I find a real shame...but don't just dismiss what they do as moronic or having no point or place in the world of cycling, simply because you yourself have no interest in it.
