DR ◣◢ Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 you need to get a lifeTake a chill pill and relax.I see nothing wrong with the video. Second ****** (why is it filtering "person"?) to tell me to get a life... I'm starting to doubt my current state of existence. I gave my opinion. That is all. TheoG 1
Rigardt@Scott Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Oh come one guys, the guy made a video. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Absolutely nothing wrong with a beer on a ride either - the guy is in no way promoting getting hammered on a ride. We do a beer ride on a Friday to celebrate all the bg things - birthdays, birth of the kiddos, etc. Stick the bottle of beer in the hydration pack with lots of ice, pop it open with at the top of the mountain with a view of Blouberg, Table mountain and all the way around to Gordon's Bay, and enjoy. Then take a chilled ride down the mountain. Not many things in life better than that. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Eldron, Escapee.. and 6 others 9
Tankman Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Ok... my apologies guys, I was wrong. I got defensive and I can now see from the perspective of a brand like Cannondale, they would not be promoting the us of alcohol in their videos. Before you judge too harshly, my side...I had no budget for this video and no one asked me to make it. It was a very spur of the moment thing, we were already on the way to the farm for the weekend when I got news that we can take the bikes along. We had to stop back home to pack helmets and whatever other cycling gear I could dig out quickly. My partner is not a cyclist at all and I could not get any shots of her bombing down anything, which left me to try and film myself doing some faster stuff. Not easy filming yourself on a bike... with a drone that has no tracking capabilities or a "co-pilot" that has never flown a drone.(She enjoyed the e-bike tremendously and this might be a fantastic way to get her into cycling... and get me back into cycling ) The aim wasnt to promote a lifestyle, just thought I would get some cool shots whilst having a jol. Unfortunately the footage and terrain is what I have and where we were, cant change that but hopefully the next one will be better... How is this then? No click-bait this time!

No click-bait this time! https://youtu.be/5wh3OrBC6mM I think the video is pretty cool - Well done - I've done a few of my own as well but wouldn't dare to post them here on Le Hub - I think they are masterpieces of videography especially considering my lack of ability in this field - But some opinionated KARENS on here might think differently - One needs to ignore them and scroll past, Oh! and drinking beer as a MTBer is considered cool, I remember a MTB race i did where the water points only served shooters and you got a beer instead of a medal at the finish. Keep riding - Keep filming - drink beer - be cool & ignore the boxes on the way Tankman, PygaSchmyga, Sid the Sloth and 2 others 5

Jewbacca Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Back in my wondering days I remember many SS series and SSCX races with beer shortcuts and shooter penalties. In 2011 I remember doing a SS series in NZ which was 3 laps each, a beer skull shortcut each lap AND it worked on points accumulated over the 5 race series which were doubled if you raced dressed up and tripled if you did the last lap in just your undies, shoes and helmet. The series was entertaining. I don't really drink these days at all, but I think I would be persuaded to skull beer shortcuts again Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
ChrisF Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Tankman that is a nice video. Simply impossible to please everybody .... As for ebikes ... YES Tankman, Warthog whisperer and timwightman 3

Red bikes are faster yes! But I had to "let" her beat me on some strategic sections for the video! When we went up a really long steep climb, she left me for dead and I was going full gas, must be the 60kg weight difference between us Using Adobe Premiere Pro timwightman, ChrisF and Hairy 3

Hairy Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Agreed, the criticism was pathetic.go read from the start againhttps://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/166722-do-ebikes-belong-on-the-mountain/?p=3754386 DR offered his opinion on the corona being consumed. That is his opinion.DR commented and provided constructive crit. on the production of the vid.To me the first vid felt like an advertorial, I did not know at first it was Tanks vid. My comments are based on this.Tank later made comments to DR that are not really lekker. "Get a life man".Thing spiraled downhill a little after this.Tank did a second vid that is actually a more lekker vid. though he did skid to a stop like a noob (Note comic sans font) I would counter and say that the criticism was not "pathetic" Sid the Sloth and DR ◣◢ 2
