There’s quite a few people doing crit race videos but not many doing cross race ones. It’s nice to get a rider’s eye view of the race. Please continue with them.

not wrong to be fair, thank you very much

I think these videos are always fantastic, so big thumbs up from me. Seeing Honor back at the sharp end of races, after everything she's been through over the past few years, is so damn inspirational too!

❤️ they'd be better if you made a comeback in them i reckon!

Please don't stop doing this 😆 Probably my fav part of the videos is the chatter on pre race nerves and post race highs. Also to see other parts of the country what the courses are like.

My daughter races in the same league, albeit the much reduced courses for Under 10's but it's still really great to see onboard footage of the course she has rode that week. Great also seeing footage of those riders who are so technically gifted as it showcases CX as a sport. And honor mentioned helping to promote the ladies side of racing which is so important. As far as it has undoubtedly come, there's still loooads more needed. Lola regularly races in under 10's with about 20 boys and sometimes only 2 other girls. 😢 Finally I love how your vids also highlight the community vibe at each race. As lets face it 95% of the folk at these races are amazingly supportive of ALL the competitors and super friendly.

awww this is my favourite, big up lola, and of course yourself for supporting her in this very male dominated sport! we love to see it but yes very much hope to see the gender split become more balanced over time. she'll be one of the technically gifted showing us all up in the big girl races in no time i'm sure 🥹

Cross is back, I'm back to watching videos. I love watching cross racing because I can't get to them myself. If you want to keep doing these vids then do them, I'll watch!

Thanks for uploading these videos! Besides the novelty of seeing myself on camera occasionally (for form/souplesse more than anything else), as someone who is still seeing courses for the first time the onboard camera footage - plus spectator shots of notable tricky sections (e.g. Big Bob) - is super helpful in getting a heads up on what a venue will be like. For me, this is the main reason I watch your videos - to get some insight on the course from previous years. I think what you guys do is of real value to the community as a whole for this reason, and the videos are shot and edited so beautifully that they deserve to be seen by more people - maybe there's a way you could work more closely with the league to build up a library of different venues over time and have them promoted on the tech manual each round in future years (a bit like Puck Pieterse's course recons). I'd be interested to know if other racers (especially juniors!) and use these videos in the same way. Keep up the amazing work 🙏🙏

yes it's funny because we do often find ourselves wishing there were equivalent videos from others of courses we haven't yet done, so i can absolutely see the value of them in that respect. we've really wanted to strike a balance between being genuinely informative/insightful/helpful alongside what is inherently always going to be a bit of a self-focused vlog so glad to hear that is indeed the case. also good to hear you like the occasional feature, i love featuring clips of others as much as possible but do sometimes worry some people prefer not to be on camera which is also absolutely fine, but is always nice to hear when it's valued. i know how helpful it can be simply to watch yourself back doing something, has been an added bonus for us with these videos too. i think collabing with the league is a great idea, they do support + share the videos which is great, would be good for us to lean more into the informative side for sure. thanks very much for your feedback and especially for saying they are shot and edited beautifully 🥹

I was going to comment but Sam said everything I wanted to say! Keep doing these as long as you enjoy it / it’s not too much of a sacrifice cos loads of us find them incredibly valuable / inspiring / funny :)

Your videos kept me motivated to get back to CX this season as I spent the autumn on the couch because of injury.

@honorxtheo 3 ай бұрын

aww very happy to read that - it's so hard coming back from illness/injury but have to remember that it's still so much fun even if the results aren't quite where you'd like them to be! (yet 😀). keep at it!

Really enjoy the CX videos. Astor Dover this Sunday, just re-watched your video from last year, it brought back what a great & brutal course it is. Enjoyed Stammer Park, the Go Pro footage brings a different perspective, even if it’s pointing at the ground half the time! Great that you both got on the podium.

Great film….. enjoy the insight and glimpse of what it’s like to be nearer the front in these races. Interesting how the technique and skill starts to be a real decider over the fitness… I’ve found that even back in the twenty’s and thirty’s, losing places on corners and hurdles … need more practice obvs. Keep up the filming if you’ve the time and motivation!!

@honorxtheo 3 ай бұрын

thank you! yes for sure, although one thing i love about CX is how the ratio of technique to fitness can vary from course to course.. and within that, how much technique itself can vary so different courses can suit entirely different riders and allow real shake ups at the front of the race (note to self, to get better at dry wooded areas..). certainly really helps to be good with both though 😂
