Making The Coolest Team In Pro Cycling: L39ION Of LA & Justin Williams

[@gcn]

Just how cool is Justin's team? Let us know below 👇

[@niallyshere]

they're off the charts cool. like way too cool. In fact they are so cool, I can't believe they ride bikes

When I watched the video about cycling in LA I thought, "how can you go to LA and not meetup with Justin Williams and Legion of LA"? This was a nice surprise.

[@ronbyers9912]

@therealgoody I don't think so. Look at any cycling on line magazines and you see at least 10 tech articles for every dedicated human interest story. The exception might be Sigma Sports cafe talk series with Matt Stephens, but that is a true one of a kind.

[@hgiusdfajgfds]

Ron Byers obvs sigma sports videos also exist primarily to advertise their shop, but yeah you're right, they don't feel like that. I wish gcn had less 0% editorialized ads, but maybe it's just the way of the industry

[@michaelalbany]

This is probably THE BEST video GCN has put out since the original 3 presenters were working together. Justin and his brothers show what cycling is all about. Cycling is about bringing up those behind you, supporting those who love the sport, it’s about making changes to traditions while respecting where those traditions were born, but most of all it’s about family and bring all those interested in being a part of our cycling community into the fold. Jeremy, you nailed it!

[@FlatSpinMan]

GCN just has so much, and so diverse, great cycling material. This documentary was fascinating. When I see J Pow I’m always keen, but I like the way he minimised his presence and let the people tell their own story. I’m not American but I do find it refreshing to see these vids on American cycling culture. It looks much more fun than the European one, I guess as the stakes are lower. Anyway, Jeremy - keep exploring, keep documenting. This stuff is gold.

[@NickBonne]

@@punkandprovocation Give us all a break. They had Emma Pooley but she left to pursue other goals. As you can (maybe?) tell, they don't just hire any jerkoff who likes cycling and they can't force people to work for them. There are loads of men out there with World Tour experience but very few women. As far as minorities go, you can't just change the history of cycling, right now, it's pretty European. I mean FFS, anyone with the resume GCN wants is like guaranteed to be European; and at the end of the day this person has to want to work for GCN and has to speak one or more of the languages in which GCN operates channels.

[@Hardcaslte]

@Smattless Keep it white, am I rite? We get it Smattless, you're a racist. Just be full racist already and stop holding back. You commented above how blacks are already fully represented in cycling and we shouldn't push the issue by having them in more interviews.

[@stevenagy7152]

USA Cycling, and most cycling promoters across all venues, needs to take a hard look at itself and its identity, and then look at the work that Justin is doing. He has success because of inclusiveness and the drive to find riders from outside the usual paths. Well done L39ION!

[@CycoWarriorx]

Steve Nagy Well said Steve... 🙌🏽

[@markconnelly1806]

Cycling is open to anyone who can afford the bikes and going to races. Its all about interest, passion, support, etc. The West Coast needs more events in areas where spectators can come across a race and watch it. However, only a few races or publicized to general public. Most people do not know about them. Many races are not even filmed professionally.

[@CycoWarriorx]

Mark Connelly While I agree cycling needs more support and better promotion, particularly in the sport competitive west coast, I think what Steve was touching on is while its open to anyone who can afford the bikes and race, it’s not always welcoming of "anyone"... I don’t know if that makes sense or not, but that’s a general consensus... good points nonetheless Mark.

Gotta say a big thank you both to Jeremy and GCN for making this film. Really never heard of the L39ion racing team or the Williams brothers but it was really fascinating to hear a bit of Justin's story and what it was like for him trying to make his mark on cycling. I guess that since cycling is quite a Euro centric sport that its always very alien for riders in the USA to make it big here and reach either World Tour or Pro Conti level. It would be really interesting to see more films like this which expose the development and domestic side of racing in the USA and try to shed some light on what the process is like for riders from non traditional cycling nations. Really great to see that Justin is actively using riders from a wider ethnic background to include them in the team and help to make the sport of cycling really appeal people from all differnt backgrounds who wouldn't usually be exposed to the sport. Really well done and a would be cool to follow up onn the story again in the future!

[@melissasoto9769]

REPRESENTATION MATTERS. Thank you for highlighting such a cool local team. As a cyclist who is also a woman of color, I love seeing these guys out there on the road and feeling like they really get LA bike culture and are not afraid to do it their own way.

[@prestachuck2867]

I met Justin at an event for Specialized Dealers last September. He sat at our dinner table one night and graciously answered questions from my curious industry peers. Eventually he told us the story of how he got into cycling with his father, and eventually how he became involved with racing. He is one heck of a nice guy, and a fierce competitor. He’s also right about pro cycling’s antiquated sponsorship and employment systems. The Williams brothers have taken 100% control of their professional careers. Personal sponsorships with companies that will get your back when you are in need of help, and teams that are more like co-ops or really families is what the future needs to be in order to ensure the survival of our sport here in the US, and to ensure the growth worldwide. Legion should be the model for Professional cycling teams from here forward.

And kudos to Specialized for their sponsorship and the free bikes for juniors for big crit wins. And it'd be nice to see an exploration of the BMX scene in California in the Seventies. The races themselves were rough and tumble--those kids were mean but that was the game--but the larger scene was beautiful, kids coming together and riding their bikes together.

When I weekend ride PCH or the river flood channel trails (LA River, Santa Ana and San Gabriel) I realize that the LA Cycling community is very diverse and very passionate about our sport! Thanks again.

Seriously very educational and spiritual video. In fact we should see more like this. Whoever in XXIst century sees any difference in people because of color or religion or political beliefs is super... inappropriate. Cheers.

I had literally JUST finished reading an old article on how this team first came to be, and then I see this video in my feed! I was so pleasantly surprised! ! There is some real magic here and I look forward to continue following L39ION’s success. 💪🏾

Great interview, liked how Justin related how he has gone through a very adventurous journey.

Been following these guys for years and they truly deserve this kinda of spotlight! Great interview!
