    Hey that's pretty cool that you and Dave adopted your daughter I never knew that that totally makes me respect this channel even more so. I only say that because I was adopted to and I know that adoptive parents have the biggest hearts and your daughters totally lucky to have parents that are into snowboarding, cycling, BMX, and skateboarding just saying great channel by the way and God bless you two the world needs more people like you 2.

    Great video! And I also want to thank you. I have spent the last 5 months working from home, barely leaving the house, and using youtube videos of cycling / MTB as background noise. I only found your channel a couple of days ago, and the three I watched today (including this one) were finally the catalyst that I needed, which no other vlogger had yet been able to provide. I dug my bike out of the shed this afternoon, and, for the first time in about 12 years, actually went for a ride! Not far (about 12 miles) but I did reach the ocean. And I feel great! Your enthusiasm is infectious.

    I only found your channel when I was looking for info on bike packing, but I've watched a few videos / vlogs now and this is a great channel. I subscribe to the view (normally) that it's best not to know much about the people who entertain you, however I genuinely found this interesting and entertaining and you're a norm too! My favorite thing I like about you / your channel is you just like riding bikes. Me too, it's the best and keeps my life on a good level. Thanks for sharing and for the channel, it's great.

At 41 I picked up playing cello next to piano & guitar and trying to be a triathlete. And I still think it's amazing you adopted that lovely girl. As an adoptee I appreciate this! ❤️

  • @Ray.J
    @Ray.J 4 года назад +1

    Usually when I comment on a video I do so right away. This one made me pause and think a bit. First, it takes a certain amount of guts to "get personal". It just does. I consider myself blessed to be given a look "behind the scenes" in this and many of your other videos. We see your home, your neighborhood, your lovely daughter, your whole life really. And that is precious. I'm an animal lover, and I love when one of your feline friends makes an appearance too! Your daughter is obviously an intelligent, talented person and will be on to great things in short order. So glad she has you and Dave to help guide her path. I can relate to infertility as my wife and I suffered through multiple miscarriages (7, I think) before finally having four healthy babies. All are adults now and it has been so worth it! Doesn't erase the painful memories, but they remind us of the struggle and somehow cause us to appreciate what we have all the more. Thanks for sharing your family with us. You are all very fortunate!

  • @faceinthecrowd5810
    @faceinthecrowd5810 Год назад

    Amazing biography!! It blows me away often when someone who I stumble across on RUclips while tracking my variety of life’s interests does a background video and I get to understand the insane level of conviction people such as yourself put into the lifestyle that from the short glimpses we see on a video seem so …..”perfect”. The under story always is that it is never an easy road to greatness, it is always the endless hard work and sacrifices that get any of us above the “ordinary” non appealing un videoed lifestyles most of us live out our lives at.
    For me as an artist for the last 45 years that I’ve been counting it is hearing of the “real path to achievement “ that helps me to find the motivation to keep at it, to keep producing, to keep pushing myself even against the forces of nature’s aging erosion of strength. It is the words and actions of champions such as yourself that raises the bar for my own journey. To others I may be just an old man on a bike, or an old skier, or some burnt out ancient woodcarver dude, but I am the champion of my story, as you in yours. Thank you for your hard work and sharing it with us!!!

Also metal has always been a love of mine. Btw, Dave is also awesome. I started watching you both after I got a Marin gravel bike last June, 2020 (somehow missed this video). Keep up the great videos, and I look forward to many more. Cheers!

I love siting on the drop bar in the store but not sure i could ride it. I'm following your channel and love it. I'm really old but still love to ride bikes. I'm looking at the Masi Expert CXRc sizing is always difficult and a nightmare to figure out.of course being older i'm not skinny anymore. I need a bike for a week to find out if it fits not a 2 second parking lot ride whilst the sales person is watching?

    I’m Estonian, but born (1981) and raised in USA. I find the English accent, mostly women’s, so damn intoxicating. Yours, is on another level. Now I am hard of hearing, near deaf all my life. I need subtitles ALL the time. However, the English accent, I have no Problem whatsoever! My wife is Norwegian/Cherokee, we have 5 young kids together. Our 3rd kid, Hannah “Lee” was named after a very dear favorite of mine, my wife’s grandmother, Norma Lee. She served in both WWI & WW2 & an Olympian. I am not a social person whatsoever and she was the only person that understood me why I hated family gatherings. She got me out of my shell for those very short 3 years since I’ve met her before she had passed. When I named my daughter Hannah “Lee” after Norma Lee had passed away, I swear she granted my wish which I only mentioned it just ONCE in our many many conversations, Hannah Lee, has an English accent. Still, to this day, I cannot help it while my eyes swell up and many emotions run through me. And the kicker is, my daughter Hannah, when she was 3 at that time, she had a dream where she was approached by a woman named Norma Lee, mentioned to Hannah that we have the same middle names, well.....we never mentioned to Hannah about Norma Lee until after the dream. Norma Lee is absolutely Hannah’s guardian angel. To me, the English accent is just heavenly to my ears.
