    WorldRider-TV is my RUclips Channel that captures the raw essence of solo travel around the world on a motorcycle. Some videos are raw and rough, while others are edited and produced. Everything is real and authentic. I’m not out to ride the toughest roads, climb the highest mountains, search for ghosts, or solve mysteries.
    I am out to meet the beautiful people of this world, try to understand their culture, and learn about their history. All along enjoying good food, drink, and laughs. We all share much more in common than we have differences. I’m blown away by the kindness of strangers and how many times I’ve been brought into the homes and families of people everywhere.
    There are no strangers in this world, only friends I haven’t met. SO I hope I meet you. Meanwhile, join me and subscribe to my RUclips Channel, follow me in the usual places like Instagram and Facebook.

    ================
    It all started on July 4th-symbolic of freedom and independence in my home country, USA. I set off alone on my trusty BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle to travel the world. I didn’t know exactly where I’d go or how long it would take. After three years traveling through thirty-five countries and five continents, I returned home in California and wrote the book that documented that adventure in stories, photos, and recipes: FORKS: A QUEST FOR CULTURE, CUISINE, AND CONNECTION.
    Then came a one-year cross country book tour in his legendary “FORKS Van,” then a television show on THE COOKING CHANNEL, inspirational speaking gigs, and much more. All along, I continue to ride the world months at a time, returning home to work and save for the next segment-always leaving my motorcycle in some garage somewhere around the world.

    I don't find it difficult at all to move the head band adjustment. You just make it work with a strong thumb and forefinger man. The helmet is awesome.

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah, i get it. I do have an awesome Smith helmet and use the same system, but I find it infinitely easier to adjust that band. But I get it! Thanks for dropping by and for the note!

    • @myrealsalt

    The added remote was from the previous design(kickstarter helmet). The previous design added the break light functionality so that is why the new remote doesn't use USB C

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Andrew. I still think they could've rev'd up a new version for the Ultra that would support USB-C. For now, I've got the weird cable and just hope I don't lose it!

    All the best! From Tokyo

      Hey man! Thanks for your comment and the beanie shout out! I hope you can make it to USA for Dead & Co. show! You'll love it. On a side note, I've been to more than 80 countries and Japan has eluded me so far. Once this pandemic ends, I hope to change that! Cheers my friend!

    The back band is literally supposed to move for people with long hair so that the wheel isn’t in the way if they choose to put their hair up in a ponytail. Also, isn’t the helmet compatible with strava? If so, no need for apple workout app if I’m not mistaken as strava connects to apple health

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  Год назад

      Hey Mai, thanks for your note. I get the ponytail workaround with the band. Though I have two other helmets that look as if they work with a ponytail, but that band is much easier to adjust and work with. So Apple Health is different than Workouts which are triggered through the Apple Watch. Relive like Strava does get info from Apple Workouts so you don't even need to launch the Relive app. The Health App does sync with Strava and other apps (you need to toggle the send to Health option on) to share health related data including vitals, body measurements etc. Thanks again for your explanation! Cheers!

    When I turn the "on and off" beep off, it turns all sounds off. I have an older model of the ultra, and it would turn only the annoying beep off. I think that it is a software problem.

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  6 месяцев назад

      Weird, there are funky things with the software integration. Overall, great helmet though!

  • @sharonbennett3318

    I don’t know the Apple Watch not turning off that well and confusing.I used the remote and also use my hand signal to be safe.

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  Год назад

      Agreed Sharon, that's exactly how I use it today.

    • @bruce.KAY-bike-drifter
      @bruce.KAY-bike-drifter День назад

      Because we ride on the opposite side of the road in Australia, the Apple Watch function gets all screwed up when I try to use my right arm for turn signalling. I cannot believe the software developers only tested for use cases where for left-hand-drive jurisdictions??

  • @TheScottieMac
    @TheScottieMac 2 года назад +1

    I had the same issue with the remote not pairing, my remote's battery was flat. After I charged it up it was just fine.

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  2 года назад

      yeah, exactly. it's a bit kluge but works in the end. Thanks!

    • @alexpuc6272

  • @JERRY-xb6vy
    @JERRY-xb6vy 10 месяцев назад +1

    The reason the charger for the better remote is magnetic it makes it WATERPROOF!!!!

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  9 месяцев назад

      Makes sense, but then again the new iPhone 15 with its now USB-C connection is also waterproof - so there is a way! Cheers!

    @Elc0chin0 Год назад +2

    Wow, I think you're the only one who is impressed by you. Personally, I don't want a history about you. Over 5 minutes into your talk about you video did you even bring into the frame the helmet. Geez man, do the review on the helmet.
    Have a separate video about you talking about you but this is a review about a helmet. 28 minutes, I couldn't sit through past 5 minutes. I sped through your self review of yourself talking about yourself and your adventures and just had to cut you off.
    I'm sorry but if you're going to review the helmet review the helmet.

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  Год назад +3

      Hey Elc0 - I appreciate your feedback. I agree. It even pains me to try to watch the beginning again. Fortunately, somebody posted the timestamp in the comments here to get right to the review segment. This was the first review I ever did, and I guess I was self-conscious about it. I've learned, and that's the best thing we can do-make and learn from mistakes. Unlike Vimeo, RUclips can't update the video; otherwise, I would edit the beginning and post the review portion. Alas, it is what it is. People are used to skipping ahead, and that's all I can expect. Here's a bit of redemption in a sort of helmet review: ruclips.net/video/tE6b-CbWE68/видео.html - Enjoy and happy riding!

  • @carlojamora6623
    @carlojamora6623 2 года назад +1

    can you turn off the head led light and use only the rear led lights?

    • @worldrider
      @worldrider  2 года назад +2

      Currently the Lumos app offers a lot of customization for the front light with the exception of turning it off… So that’s a good question and a feature that probably could be an easy implementation, and certainly would have an advantage to battery life. Especially for those people that have multiple front lights on their bicycle, the ability to turn off the front light on the helmet certainly could be a good option - at least for a battery life…
