These are fantastic videos, man. I just found your channel, but these are the types of videos I like to put on while I'm working on my bikes, or messing in my home bike shop. Thanks for posting them! Take care.

[@luisdagobertomaciellatam6023]

amazing !!! I have seen many videos of Keegan, Pete Stetina, etc, etc, Those guys are gravel monsters. You kept their pace for more than 30 miles and that is woowwww. Keep it up and nice video.

[@robrigg8045]

Wow - What an absolute mashfest early in the race. Those are some monster numbers y'all are pushing! Chapeau to hang on for as long as you did! The Raw Files are super dope as it's great to watch the race unfold. Some serious hitters at the front!

[@gerade-aus]

Alexi Grewal, "ow" at the end is so TDF 1986. No commissar cars, no television cameras, low attendance, crap venue, no thank you. Cycling isn't dying, it's dead.

[@jgoettl2.0]

@@gerade-aus industry and uci kinda butt heads. If you come to any BWR race or other grass roots gravel races the finish is much more of a party!

[@thaynamite]

2 hours of hell ... respect , very well done ...

[@marciomvp9458]

Awesome video! Brutal wind! Thank you for risking your race to create this nice video. The best coverage of USA Gravel Nationals!

[@squatchy69]

That’s amazing man. Killin it. Thank you

[@deepakdevegowda7369]

Love it! Thanks for posting the whole race. You folks were drilling it all the way through.

[@te3data]

Gravel bikes are starting to look like modernized versions of 80s-90s mountainbikes! Nothing negative about that i guess. But its fun to see the trends go round :D

[@andrewchapman5659]

nah - they are like modern road bikes just a little wider

[@chadhopkins6141]

These raw files are a great insight into the dynamics of the lead and chase groups. Thank you! The speed early on with such large groups on loose gravel with the dust and sun glare seems like it could produce some pucker moments and I got a cramp just watching the power over time profile to stay in those groups.

[@jeremyrobinson4433]

I love your videos. I watch every one of them. Thanks for posting.

[@stevedare4480]

Unbelievable efforts . Great video! Thanks for sharing !

[@morethanbikes]

Thank you for sharing, that was really cool to watch.

[@ronhuffman7973]

Great race video coverage. Super human effort! Thanks for sharing.

[@estefaniabarreda9122]

What a good video!! I started watching your videos while using my trainer, that keeps me motivated. Thanks ❤ New Follower.

[@jgoettl2.0]

Thanks for watching and following! I’ll have more like this coming out throughout the winter!

[@reginerdtv]

Let's go! hell yeah

[@rosauracontreras5584]

Excellent

[@yagelovic]

Wow. Congratulations.

[@Imofuimo]

I don't do a lot of comments but want to thank you for these raw clips. It's amazing seeing these rides.

[@rosauracontreras5584]

😊

[@OrwellionFeverDreamCouchPotato]

Man, that pace was brutal and watching you guys absolutely fly down those -3% grades hitting sand 👀! You guys must have been cruzn 53x10’s!!! Nice job hanging as long as you did…. Maybe less pulls and trying to even out the power spikes. Both Tobin and Keegan didn’t seem to be accelerating as much as other riders but also pushed the pace on the grades.

[@jgoettl2.0]

Thanks for watching! I actually only had 48/10, but think I may switch to a 50 next year! It was tricky with the crosswind cause I’d you were too far back in the group you’d get guttered, and every time we turned we switched directions rotating and I got caught in bad spots a few times plus a few times people behind me stopped pulling through so I was stuck in the front. I was behind Keegan in the rotation a few times and he would drill it when he got to the front and it was tough trying to come around him!

[@user-DeDub]

Top 20 is great. Congrats

[@M3Atelier-Initiative]

you went to the front too much. the course was breathtaking. I thought Michigan had the best gravel courses but this one was astounding. top 20 in a crazy stacked field full of hitters ~ well done ( 🎩) tip.

[@gerade-aus]

Ha! Went to the front too much. I get it, now.

[@djeeee911]

nice !

[@918swimbikerun]

Awesome video! I was just looking at this race!! Quick question: what software did you use to overlay the stats?

[@jgoettl2.0]

Thank you! It’s a little complicated. I first put all the clips together in Final Cut Pro and exported in mp4 so it’s compatible with garmin virb edit. From there you can upload your ride data and match it up. The tricky part is you can’t spit the ride data, so you have to make a new video in virb for every single clip, process it, and move it back to final cut to put it all back together. I’f I’m wrong about this and there is a way to split the ride data, that would be a huge time saver!

[@thewisconsingravelcyclist]

That many watts that early in a race almost make a guy puke just watching! Awesome video !!!

[@jgoettl2.0]

You said it about right! I was absolutely cracked after getting dropped from Keegans group. You'll never make it if you don't go for it though, I had to stick it out and try!

[@gzzhyt]

Raider rebellion pledge

[@ShannonRawls]

Question: What app is used to give that speedometer and map overlay on the video?

[@jgoettl2.0]

Garmin virb edit, it’s a bit of a pain to do but I like the way their gauges look

[@tink8952]

how many participants took part in this brutal race?

[@tripleb7232]

Very nice! Looks like a lot of racers on 40mm tires. Can someone confirm please. Thanks

Чувак, а чё ты в км/ч не считаешь? Также понятнее

[@davehause8571]

The roads look so boring. Straight forever and flat.

[@gerade-aus]

I would venture that, sadly, American cycling is stuck in the 80s. Right around the time of "American Flyers". Same music, same announcer, same vibe. Gross.

[@wraith8323]

Ameeeeerica, FCK YEAH!!!!!
