That was my kid you almost stole!! VC, Thanks for being so kind to my kids, they’re still talking about how they met you. It was such a fun race! Can’t wait to race it again!!!
VC - Don’t put performance pressure on yourself. That’s not why all of us have watched for 4+ years. You’re popular because you’re relatable. Because you race and ride for the same reasons we do - because we love riding and racing bikes! A lot of us will try our hardest, train like maniacs, and never finish a Crit with Legion-caliber guys. We’re going to get dropped the first time up the hill in the Sea Otter Classic. We might do a gravel race and stay with the front group - for a hot minute - before we finish 30 minutes down. We can relate to how you juggle family, work, training, and life. We relate to your frustration of training as hard as you can and still not getting the results you want. We relate to your joy at seeing your children succeed at life. We relate to your joy at riding and racing your bike. and we relate to your sense of humor in your success and failures. (I laughed for 10 minutes straight at your Sea Otter meets Nintendo video) Whether it’s impossible routes, gravel, crits, road races, etc - remember that your success doesn’t define you to your fans. It’s your joy at riding bikes, your humor, and your honesty that brought us here and keep us here. Keep that optimism and keep riding all the bikes. Cheers. I started racing 4 years ago (I watched your Crit videos on the trainer for motivation). I try to see myself in your approach to training and racing. I’m good, not great. I try hard, but still get dropped sometimes by people who are just better and more talented than I am. Like you, I’m trying to juggle a job, family, training, and life.
THIS is the kind of racing we need in cycling! I couldn't agree more that even as a cyclist, road racing is a total snooze fest to watch. We need courses like this that force you to find the limits of grip in order to win.
Hey VC, you didn't say - how did you do overall?! Also, I agree with everyone else. Not to be corny, but we love you for you. You're open, honest, we can relate to you, you share your mistakes as well as your triumphs, and you genuinely care about not only your content, but also about your fans. Just keep being you, dude.
They should definetly do more of these, watching it even feels incredible much more enjoyable as all those other formats it's exactly like you say. Now, how to convince organizers to put up more of these?
Thanks for coming out! I was at the first one last year and no one knew what to expect, but everyone walked out after smiling, happy and stoked. So we were really looking forward to this second event and hopefully with your exposure more people will show up to the next one. Eric put in a great event and it’s spectator friendly ッ great job out there
Man, your videos are next level. This is a great breakdown. The drone footage and the editing... Also, keep doing what you do. We have watched for years because you're straight up honest, not because you win everything. You get the attention for the hard work, for the honesty, for the humility (and because sometimes you do crush it)
Great to see you stoked by the event. And don't underestimate your contribution to the world of cycling. Your content creation adds so much more than someone who just podiums. This video is an awesome example of your skills. Had me on the edge of my seat for 30 minutes!
I've watched(&subscribed!)for years Tyler. Was genuinely moving to hear you sounding so fucking happy! Don't know if I cried, or just laughed so much I cried but thanks for the video; that was perilously close to beautiful. DaveX
It seems You talk down to your self more than you ought to. You have inspired me so much just in training, RUclips presence, handling life, work, family, and hobbies. You definitely have a gift in that, for sure!! Thank you, and keep up the good work, my dude!!
This WAS AWESOME! Tears of joy bro! You are the best. This video felt 10 min long. Just what I needed to watch to get ready for my upcoming road race.💚
Man, that was a video. I appreciate all the work you put in those videos and also your awesome adventures on the bike. Don't let yourself down! It's not the medal you win, it's all about the motivation, experience and snot you get. Also i appreciate the course! keep on rocking! :)
Loved the Vince Friese reference. And good on you for crossing over into multiple cycling disciplines, growing the sport. Thought you might have gone missing in the Rockies in your last video but glad you made it out to race another day!
You do deserve the attention. You are helping to bring cycling to the masses, more importantly your an amazing ambassador for all of us who punch it out in the middle of the pack. You rock VC. Deal with it 😉
That. Looks. Like. A. Blast! Being a moto guy, a mountain bike guy, a cross guy, a crit guy...I could relate to everything you were saying and I loved the block passes in the last couple of corners! I hope this format gains traction!
This is freaking awesome! Hope CritCross gets huge. We don’t watch you because you win every race. We watch you because you are so relatable and a great story teller. You are the Seth Alvo of the road bike.
VC, your one of the best video editors and storyteller on RUclips. Your also a great racer/rider of bike bro and your a family man also! With top tier level fitness. Don’t put yourself down keep that “f u”mentally you’ve earned it!
Bro keep doing you! It doesn’t matter to me how high you finish, rather, it’s how you make your way through these challenges and the stories that are born from said challenges that inspire me to go out and ride my bike. We love you no matter what you do man! Ride safe and free always!
bro going top 10-20 against legion and other crit teams means that you're like top 1% of the top 1%, you're already one of the best and with you finding your own niche will only get you to another level.
Your best video. Whoever hypes you up, I feel like you earned it, simply as a content producer. In the pro peleton, pros get dropped bro. Putting yourself on the line in public, that's a challenge in itself. I hope you and your family continue getting the joy bikes bring you and less of the pressure that comes with chasing performance, which in my eyes, you are perfectly fine at. All the best and wishing you good health.
I would LOVE to see crit crosses being a thing! Looks so dope! I could totally see it catching on with gravel making such a big move the last couple of years and roadies getting a taste for dirt/offroad.
Man this looks fun. If I was just 30 years younger, stronger, skinnier, in shape and a 10xs better on a bike, I would love to try. I swear David had the angle to take you down. He is a super great guy.
The last two videos that I’ve watched on your channel sparked something inside me, especially the vibes which you are getting trough this videos they are overwhelming! Big thanks, thumbs up, be yourself, be as always - vegan cyclist!
That’s one of the best cycling videos of all time! I’m too old to be in race shape now. This would have been my race favorite too. Id love to see the speed of Walt van Aert on this track
That was amazing finish on the 2nd moto.. had some goose bumbs! Good one Tyler! This got me ideas, maybe i organize some soert of practice cross crit here too :) we have carting/cross circuit closeby and some connections to there by my club members
So cool! So many more variables to win by. You must have a high Anerobic capacity with limitless matches for it to feel so comfortable. Reminds me of the fixie gocart race, but with a little more room.
That last drone shot through the finish line!!! I thought it was the camera on your bike!!! I was like... he's getting some major air off that jump!!!... oh wait a minute :o/
"go straight up Vince Friese on his ass" 😂😂 wasn't expecting that watching a cycling race. This looks like an amazing race for a guy like me too, I am wayy out of shape right now. I cant ride on the road anymore though so sold my roady and only have MTB and old 90's bike I'm converting to gravel.
Dude!!!! All your video its really good. Im not realy cool for this language maybe understand for 80% but you dude!:-) you really good cyclist all the time. Keep still best!!! Hi from Czech republic.
I always knew I would do well and if given the chance I would out sprint most but I never went in thinking I’d win. Even when I knew I was the fastest, it’s a crap shoot if you will get the chance because so many things have to go right.
That was my kid you almost stole!! VC, Thanks for being so kind to my kids, they’re still talking about how they met you. It was such a fun race! Can’t wait to race it again!!!

Nice words
So true!
VC, continue to make up those stories, and keep the excuses flowing, 'makes us fell better :P
THIS is the kind of racing we need in cycling! I couldn't agree more that even as a cyclist, road racing is a total snooze fest to watch. We need courses like this that force you to find the limits of grip in order to win.
This is your best video Vegan!!! Action, action and more action!
Dude, losing to Phil is nothing to be embarrassed about - he’s a beast. Great video.
What is Phil complete name ?
My favorite part of crits is when someone attempts a Frontside Method Rocket-Air Rusty-Trombone in the big-air contest.
Awesome drone follow footage. This event looks awesome! Great work!
Hey VC, you didn't say - how did you do overall?!
Also, I agree with everyone else. Not to be corny, but we love you for you. You're open, honest, we can relate to you, you share your mistakes as well as your triumphs, and you genuinely care about not only your content, but also about your fans. Just keep being you, dude.
I showed the podium at the end, but I got 3/2 for 2nd overall. Phil got 1/1, and Sweet went 2/4.
@@TheVCAdventures ah my bad, for some reason I thought that was just the podium for the second heat. Seriously great job!
This is probably the sickest race structure in cycling. I hope this becomes a common thing. Nice job, you killed it.
This might be my favorite of your videos. Damn.
"I recover like Wolverine!" -VC
Best line ever! 🤣
When you yelled as you crossed the line I got pure chills- that was sheer joy!!!
Its crazy how the stile differs from the crits legion races. Somehow reminds me of F1 and Rally
That was so much fun to watch! What a super cool race format. I really hope we see a lot more of these. And, huge congrats for just killin' it!
They should definetly do more of these, watching it even feels incredible much more enjoyable as all those other formats it's exactly like you say.
Now, how to convince organizers to put up more of these?
Show up
loved the video. Commentary is exactly what goes through your head on a hard ride/ race, I really lived it with you willing you over the line!
Hope this style of racing takes off, looks super rad!
Shed a tear of joy for you brother.
Holy, I want to organize a CritCross race now. That looks SICK
Imagine that - a family fun bike race!.. Potential sponsors should get behind this and make it happen!
Great job VC!
Shouts out to the drone pilot, some of those shots were siiick.
Amazing event, seems like the guys are really good sports too! Love this part of the bike community!

This whole thing is gold. The race structure, commentary, footage angles, & Kudos on the Podium Finnish too! 👍💪🚴♀️💨💨💨
Loved the Vince Friese reference. And good on you for crossing over into multiple cycling disciplines, growing the sport. Thought you might have gone missing in the Rockies in your last video but glad you made it out to race another day!
An absolute blast to watch. Thanks for putting this out there. Absolutely loved it 😊
Great race VC. Glad to see you back and racing in this format. Also love how the Vegan life accelerates your recovery. Keep smiling for miles bro!
You do deserve the attention. You are helping to bring cycling to the masses, more importantly your an amazing ambassador for all of us who punch it out in the middle of the pack. You rock VC. Deal with it 😉

Such a cool video! I definitely would want to see more of these races. They look fun! Great job VC!
This is freaking awesome! Hope CritCross gets huge. We don’t watch you because you win every race. We watch you because you are so relatable and a great story teller. You are the Seth Alvo of the road bike.

This event is sick💯
we need to build this
Bro keep doing you! It doesn’t matter to me how high you finish, rather, it’s how you make your way through these challenges and the stories that are born from said challenges that inspire me to go out and ride my bike. We love you no matter what you do man! Ride safe and free always!
Epic with awesome sauce and a side order of wow. Great ride, enjoy the success, well deserved.

This was exciting to watch. Exciting to listen to. I wanna do it.
This was bad ass!! Would love to see more of this racing 🤙
Was that Barcia trying block pass you. Love this style racing. Great commentary for us mx guys. Exciting to watch. Great job.
Bro this was so good! I was so into this video I found myself leaning into the berms while I was watching! 🤣 killer shit dude! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Awesome race. Great play by play. Almost pooped my pants with excitement when I saw you had a new video up. Play bikes bro, yuhhh
Good job bro, this looks fun as hell, not sure if i can keep that type of intensity up
“I recover like wolverine” 😂 love it
That last lap of moto2 was so dope, full on super cross / super Moto style
so awesome! fun racing and good edit! keep up that confidence in every race you do!
i was smiling for you at the end there. Sick stuff!
Dude welcome back!!! It’s great to see you and it’s great to see you took some time of for family.
Great recap, man! Great seeing you out there and great going toe to toe with you and the boys. Stoked for the next one 🤘🏼
I would LOVE to see crit crosses being a thing! Looks so dope! I could totally see it catching on with gravel making such a big move the last couple of years and roadies getting a taste for dirt/offroad.
Really enjoyed the video v.c, gonna get myself involved in some events this year.
Keep inspiring people brother, that's what you get 1st place in
Tyler, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS. Fantasitc job. Cheers.
This might be the thing you think youre good at, but the way you inspire people to liquidate our souls will always be your niche.
Really enjoyed watching this Format
Man this looks fun. If I was just 30 years younger, stronger, skinnier, in shape and a 10xs better on a bike, I would love to try. I swear David had the angle to take you down. He is a super great guy.
The last two videos that I’ve watched on your channel sparked something inside me, especially the vibes which you are getting trough this videos they are overwhelming! Big thanks, thumbs up, be yourself, be as always - vegan cyclist!
That’s one of the best cycling videos of all time!
I’m too old to be in race shape now. This would have been my race favorite too. Id love to see the speed of Walt van Aert on this track
Loved the Vince Friese comment!
So when are you going to do some CX racing? Seems like a logical place to get more racing in a similar style and format. 👍🏻
That was amazing finish on the 2nd moto.. had some goose bumbs! Good one Tyler! This got me ideas, maybe i organize some soert of practice cross crit here too :) we have carting/cross circuit closeby and some connections to there by my club members
That was absolutely bloody awesome, we need more of this!!! So jelly =^.^=
Sending it!
This event is very cool, looking forward to more videos VC. 🔥
I cant wait for the new Impossible video!
Got so into this I was leaning into the turns with you on the last lap
This was so fun to watch Ty, thanks for posting gnarly races like this!
I just watched every second of this video.... amazing.
Congratulations bro! Epic race! Well done! 👏👏👏
Great race bro 😎 congratulations 🍾
Congratulations Tyler! You are a great story teller and cyclist, you deserve it! 🤙
Lots of fun! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing video as usual Tyler
So cool! So many more variables to win by.
You must have a high Anerobic capacity with limitless matches for it to feel so comfortable.
Reminds me of the fixie gocart race, but with a little more room.
this is my favorite commentary video of ALL TIME!! keep it up VC. u should also try track racing 😋😋
More tracks like this
Really cool format and looks like a lot of fun Tyler
Amazing job. Well done man.
Amazing amazing! I'm so stoked for you man! You're honesty and hard work and through these dope dope videos, inspire us all! Bravo vegan cyclist!!
Bro this is amazing! Badass!
“I recover like Wolverine” 💪🏻👍🏻🤣
“I lov u man” hahah that shit was funny… . Great job dude.
Supet VC. Great content and huge respect
That last drone shot through the finish line!!! I thought it was the camera on your bike!!! I was like... he's getting some major air off that jump!!!... oh wait a minute :o/
The most interesting crit course I have seen!
This is soooo sick!!!!
That looks a brutal effort, not your typical T-Shirt ride!
Risk and reward baby, those lines bouyyyyyyy
That is one hell of a race type we need more of these Bro you need to hold a vegan road cross race...
"go straight up Vince Friese on his ass" 😂😂 wasn't expecting that watching a cycling race. This looks like an amazing race for a guy like me too, I am wayy out of shape right now. I cant ride on the road anymore though so sold my roady and only have MTB and old 90's bike I'm converting to gravel.
That was FRICKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! YUH!!!!!!!!!!
You just made me want to try this out for real.
Lol at the Vince Friese line... Barcia might be more appropriate next time 😁
Dude!!!! All your video its really good. Im not realy cool for this language maybe understand for 80% but you dude!:-) you really good cyclist all the time. Keep still best!!! Hi from Czech republic.
such a cool format
