The amount of coordination and body control to drift a bike down a dirt road like that. Really fun to watch. That bloodied left knee would've been my entire body if I tried that
Nice video! It happened to me all the time on slopes that the chain jumps down. I have therefore added a chain guide! The song in the video is from Ben Bostick and is called "Blow off some steam" Somehow it fits!
Footages has the power to seduce you! Amazing shooting! Dop and camera operator know how to do their job. Also the edit is beautiful!!!! Oh... yes the rider. Also. Ahhahaha
That's what we were expecting too, even brought a spare tire just in case. Turns out we only got about 30% wear on the tire by the end of it. Maybe just have to slide it harder next time!
@@4tressed Someone encouraged me to end the film with drifting a corner repeatedly until the tire blew, similar to car drifting videos you might see - ha! We went another route with the story ending, was a great time. Thanks for the note and glad you liked it!
@@kaatdebusscher4522 We borrowed this bike for the shoot and I think it was a 2x Ultegra, no clutch. Didn't run into many issues despite hammering it! My favorite for rough stuff is a 1x with Di2 XTR rear derailleur though
Hey Larry - yes, that Diverge from Specialized has a shock in the headset. They call it the FutureShock, takes the edge off of bumps, pretty great really.
Did you drift due to use of the rear brake or due to speed and lean of the bike? I am new to riding with a gravel bike... more of a runner usually :) But I am very interested in cornering technique...
Hey Marcel! All rear brake on this and shifting weight fore/aft to get more/less drift. You can push out the rear wheel a bit without brake but nothing like those long, full-turn slides. Hope that helps, enjoy the ride!
Hey Jerome, in this case just the stock bar the comes on the Diverge, probably a 42cm size and alloy. My favorite is the S-Works Shallow Drop Carbon bar, what I used for cyclocross and road racing.
Hey Gabriel, yes it is and it's a fantastic bike for rough roads in the 700c format. The newer Future Shock is even better. The chain hopped off for a hot second and then right back on when the pedaling continued, good eye. I don't believe that drivetrain had a clutched rear derailleur which is something I've grown to love. Thanks for the note!
It's a shredding machine! In all honesty though, that futureshock is great for the rougher side of things. Throw a clutched derailleur on like the RX or newer GRX stuff with a double crankset and you're good to go into the hills - my preference over a 1x for mountain riding.
@@AllenKrughoff I have a gravel rig with 1x. Ugh hate it. Not low enough for loose gravel in California at least for me. I'm not the strongest cyclist. I'm thinking about the Diverge Sport with 105.
Sponsored by WTB. No wonder. I was going to ask, are tyres cheap these days? Good video! All we need now is a vid on "how to skid a gravel bike without crashing for dummies"
No tires were harmed in the marking of this film - believe it or not, we were still riding these tires for a while after this shoot. WTB Nano 42's, held up like a champ!
Well, wonderful, just wonderful! ... if it weren't for this disappointing anti-climax at the end, you know, when the declared sweet tooth didn't touch the boy's lemonade even on the glorious return from dusty roads. Come on, just a sip, man!
@@ronralph5726 the road. Lmao. I dont even take it on gravel but hey. I take good care of it. Its a lifetime warranty on the frame. And i plan on keeping it as long as it holds up :)
@@mia31100unknown because it was an impulse buy thanks to this dumbass virus. But hey i still ride the hell outta the thing. Put 32mm tires on it at 80psi. Yea i dont go as fast as a road bike but im a lot more comfortable and a smoother ride. Eventually when it gets older then ill put 42mm tires then go cruising on singletrack. If i wanted to go in a straight line id rather be on the road. You will never see someone taking corners at 20+ mph on gravel maybe but they will be very long corners.

This looks like a rally car descent! Jesus! Best gravel bike ad though.
Loved every minute of this!
That feeling when you get your bike totally tuned in, size, fit, tires, pressure, brakes = sweet riding.
Super! 👍👍👍
Wow...crazy fast with hair-pin turns!!
That certainly was some fancy riding. Good fun!
Thanks! Easily the most fun I've had in front of the camera.
Mad skills !
Wow so cool . Great man 👍
Ah, just so good! Loved it.
very nice gravel riding, awesome 👍👍👍
Love it! Inspirational for sure! I’ll get there even at age 65!
Badass. Just, badass.
I love it!
That was fun
Corr that made me want to ride my bike 🙌🏻
Awesome!
Thanks Marcelo:)
Rad!
Awesome . . . Dope !!! 👍🏼
First video and subbed. Great vid.
So good. 🤘🏼
Thanks Josh - I think everyone needs more [somewhat safe] skidding in their life
Logan Mill! My fave climb in Boulder! God I miss that town so much...
Fun!
Gravel is a lifestyle
Same as rigid mtb'ing.......just more hype. IMO!
Wow dude, This is the best gravel video I’ve ever seen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I’ll subscribe too
Nice video!

Climb dance in reverse ;) ...(peugeot -vatanen -pike's peak) ... great fun !
I wanna be a Gravel Biker soon 😀 Good Movie
so roadies also know how to roost. you my dear friend deserve the title of "Steeze master, the steeziest roadie'
Ha! Surely there is someone more deserving but appreciate the title nonetheless - cheers!
This speed is insane 😱 Great video man!
Nice video Allen!
Thanks Ryan!
Oh my word. That bunny hop tho...
Best username, ever.
this is so cool!
Footages has the power to seduce you! Amazing shooting! Dop and camera operator know how to do their job. Also the edit is beautiful!!!! Oh... yes the rider. Also. Ahhahaha
Thank you!
Nice trick getting that chain back on while ripping down the road.
you mean at 3:05 ? That's not what happened there. What kind of an ad would that be that shows such a problem?
But I still prefer my belt.
😂😂nice one !! Great movie 🔥❤️🤟🏻
I bet, This videos will make more boombing gravel bike in my country
What is the kind of damper on the handlebar he is using? You can see it working for example at 2:27
The Repack spirit lives again 🤘🏻
the best performance gravel bike.
#SkidSkilz Great video.
Thanks Joel, a fun project for sure
That was sick I want to be able to do that
Fun to watch and a bald tire at the end of the day. Thanks
That's what we were expecting too, even brought a spare tire just in case. Turns out we only got about 30% wear on the tire by the end of it. Maybe just have to slide it harder next time!
@@AllenKrughoff don't go too hard though, not sure if the rim after tire pops is as good at skidding as the tire itself)
Outstanding footage!

Waooo nice video
When is another one coming I need it
Did y'all notice the chain fell off at 2:28
*almost came off! ;) Next pedal forward we got 'er back on
@@AllenKrughoff No clutch on the rear derry? :)

@Kleiner Helfer Yessir and you bet. Not sure I'd ride it like this every day though :)

Teşekkürler selamlar ❤️
That's nice af
It looks like you have some kind of sprung headset at 2:26. Do you?
Hey Larry - yes, that Diverge from Specialized has a shock in the headset. They call it the FutureShock, takes the edge off of bumps, pretty great really.
Video title should be
"Gravel bike - Tokyo drift edition"
exActly

@@AllenKrughoff is your rear brake on the left shifter?
@@firstmatepegboot2589 Ah no, I just use normal brake setup vs. aussie or 'moto' style
Awesome vid Allen, could you please tell me what fork do you use and what tyre pressure? Thanks!
This looks like it's somewhere in Colorado. Please tell me where so I can go.
Excellent, quelle est largeur de ses pneus ?? 32mm??
Hey Vif! These are WTB Nano tires, 40c width
Tu es un phénomène
Is that a suspension head tube
What fork or stem is that? That looks like a nice upgrade!
Allen, this is great! What tires were you using and how many did you go through for this video? :-)
Thanks Dejan! WTB Nano tires and I actually kept riding them for another couple months after this shoot 😲
Is there any reason for the lemonade stand?
What handlebar you have in the diverge? And how wide is it?
Thanks
Hey Jerome, in this case just the stock bar the comes on the Diverge, probably a 42cm size and alloy. My favorite is the S-Works Shallow Drop Carbon bar, what I used for cyclocross and road racing.
At 3:02 we can see a serious (or not) wound on your left knee. Is (was) that some fresh one (at that time)?
By the way... awesome ride :-)
Gravel snake jumped up and bit me! ;)
Rad concept; where is this road??
Thanks! This is in Colorado, just west of Boulder
Allen, is that the Diverge Pro 2019? How'd you like that bike? Also did that chain did drop at @2:32 ?! Amazing footage!
Hey Gabriel, yes it is and it's a fantastic bike for rough roads in the 700c format. The newer Future Shock is even better. The chain hopped off for a hot second and then right back on when the pedaling continued, good eye. I don't believe that drivetrain had a clutched rear derailleur which is something I've grown to love. Thanks for the note!
Was this a 52 or 54cm ? Looks small but veeeery cool !!
God
Strava link or didn't happen haha :)
Wow haha.
What a great video!! Excuse me to ask but I'm searching for the suspended gallows, what's his name please? Thank!
Hmm not sure! Maybe soundtrack? Here's a link to where we get all our licensed music: artlist.io/Allen-68854
Who is the artist and song at 1:20 and further?
Hey there, it's The Other Side of Wrong by Ben Bostick licensed through art-list.io. Hope that helps!
Also - here's a link to where we license all our tracks! artlist.io/Allen-68854
2:33 chain is off of chainring
BUY THE FUCKING LEMONADE!!
Nice! How do you like the Diverge?

Ok....ok....drifting a bike? You give me no choice but.....👍

Hope this dude has a tire sponsor.
Watching this video with the Dukes of Hazard theme playing in my head ...
Perfect! Ha
why dont pick mountain bike for such roads?
Speedway on gravel
How about uphill?
Not sure it'd be as fun...waiting on the Specialized Turbo Diverge for that ;)
sponsored for xxx tyres

AS IF anyone rides like that
Just that guy
Not gonna buy the chocolate. "In association with..."? This is an ad.
Now I want another bike... damn it!!!
I really dont wanna do this type of stuff with my diverge comp carbon.. 4,045 after tax. No way dude
So, where do you ride your $4045 carbon fiber bike?
@@ronralph5726 the road. Lmao. I dont even take it on gravel but hey. I take good care of it. Its a lifetime warranty on the frame. And i plan on keeping it as long as it holds up :)

Who tf brakes like that
Not even efficient
Tires would be trash after one ride
It's for the thrill bro, live.
Lame.
Awesome!
