MASH SF AUSTIN WITH LANCE ARMSTRONG

Mash crew visits Austin and Lance Armstrong.

[@mashtransitproductions]

It feels good to constantly be in motion, and being pulled forward, into stressful situations, and having to constantly solve those problems. Its not for everyone, but know there is a great deal of joy that comes from these rushes.

[@phillipkern229]

Relevant even today

[@travisalbert276]

I was a skateboarder when this came out. I thought it was a sick video back then and always stuck with me. Now that I'm 34, and too old to skate, I got my first fixed gear lmao.

[@apexscape]

john cardiel in macaframa

[@mashtransitproductions]

There is a rich history of bike + skate

[@jdoggybizzle]

It would still be an honor to ride with him. That guy single-handedly put America back on a bicycle. I remember when people laughed at me because I rode to school now everyone has one,

[@vmntmn]

jdoggybizzle yeah i started riding fixies in middle school then everyone started hoppin on the bandwagon in hs.

[@redbaaronamin]

Still does group rides in Austin. You should visit.

[@lccs187]

Fiancee broke up with me after 6 years and I have been thinking about a post break up purchase and move to Austin. I was born there and would love to go back. Is there a place where these rides are organized?

[@RealNYBossman]

@@lccs187 Texas has a pretty decent bike scene. People still ride fixed. Got the roadies, mtb, wheelies, all of that.

[@aleksandermendozagorska9267]

people laugh at me but when they get out of high school into college they will be commuting too haha

[@omen220]

Man, mash sf is reason why I got into fixed gear riding. When I seen this DVD I fell in love. The good ol days, the fresh years.

[@charleslaitipaya7149]

Same, I got lots of road bikes and MTB now, but i always grab my fixed when I head out for some casual fun. hope your still living life behingd bars lol

[@omen220]

@@charleslaitipaya7149 oh heck yeah. Fix is where I started. I've definitely moved on to road and big time into mtb but fix is always were its at.

[@ECsponger2]

How the hell did we watch videos of this resolution quality in 2008? I can't even read the credits.

[@hanxor]

vimeo.com/4503482 - this is what they meant it to look like. A bit better, less potato.

[@TeddyParker]

KZbin has been downsizing videos 10 years old or more left and right. I have a very old account and watched them butcher all my old videos of which I had no hard copy of. Basically like cutting my memories in half resolution. This video was probably 480 or 720p. Maybe even 1080. Making it 240p is fucked up KZbin

[@hammeredscout]

@@TeddyParker Yep same here to my old Vids. Many viewers don't know this.

[@gakbrenti]

it is what it is

[@JO3YH2O]

Hipsters

[@markjolyonsinclair]

Nothing beats a Fixie! Simple abundant fun! These guys are unreal.

[@mashtransitproductions]

Mellow johnny's wanted to make a t-shirt with us. Lance has an art buyer, and he turned lance on to our project. We asked if he would be down to tape, and he agreed as long as he did not have to wheelie down stairs. We had 6 days to get organized, spend savings, and create cycling memories with this group of riders.

[@Vot63]

Every top rider in every tour that Lance won was juiced...Lance was just the the best, great to see him on a fixie.

[@HiltonMoyle]

+Vot63 But did they sue people for accusing them?

[@Vot63]

HS Moyle Did people accuse them?

[@HiltonMoyle]

Vot63 Of course.

[@Vot63]

HS Moyle So is Lance bad for being a drug cheat, like all of the other top riders, or for intimidating behavior? What's your beef with?

[@HiltonMoyle]

Vot63 Him being an overall douche bag. You would have to be pretty blind to not realise that he was a pretty shitty person. He has even said that people still don't know the extent of all he has done. Really don't understand why he still has fans.

[@patrickjmt]

i fucking love austin! i wanna ride with the guy holding the heineken!! hipsters + roadies unite!! nothing beats going 30+ mph with no effort in a nice echelon!! congrats to lance!! nice return to cycling!!!! see you on the roads tomorrow - i will be the one passing you up

[@jayceinfinitealgharhythmns9814]

Oh crap, I also watch your math videos all the time. I'm a fixie rider/mather... you too, I guess!

[@maxwellcoates3493]

Seeing the comments in 2012 back in the day (when I first saw this not when posted) vs. now makes me happy. The comments back then were “I wonder how juiced he was to do this” and stuff like that now it’s jut people either complaining about the video quality (and honestly this was before GoPro could just follow you) and people bringing attention to the fact that lance wasn’t the only one. Honestly KZbin is growing up when it comes to videos like these. Couple more years and the quality will make it vintage.

[@flyjets01]

Glad to see you guys having fun looks like a great group of friends and team mates.

[@davidnorth3411]

I use to do crazy shit at night with running redlights , the idea is to get out during the late of night , it’s cooler and Your adrenaline gets pumping , the safest I found with the ability to have the room to roam wherever I wanted with no cars . I Never had a close call because I’m looking for sound before cars , makes 100percent sense to me

[@musicperson0156]

this is still bucket list shit. I remember being in 7th grade age 12 or 13 when I got my first fixed gear. watching this shit was like seeing nothing else around for my friends and I at the time.

[@jasondelgado2842]

Glad I’m still watching this in 2020

[@jasondelgado2842]

@ here for it!

[@coastalson]

Right now, 43 year old, post dope, out of shape Lance Armstrong could still crush 99.99% of everyone here talkin' shit. FACT.

[@mrt169]

exactly. a bunch of haters who never accomplished shit outside of turning on a television.

[@isaachaze1]

lance looked like he was having a blast, and riding around town with lance on fixies would be an awesome experience. F the haters with a big rubber dick. cool name bro :)

[@glennoc8585]

+Isaac Hartman But could he still beat half of the the guys he road with today if all were clean?

[@paullacey2999]

Still a good watch even now,Im sure if they did a modern take on it,many would still watch Lance

[@wallonthefloor]

this vid needs to be remastered

[@postiephilip]

One man enjoying his bike . All so simple no money no sponsor no team no pressure . Remember when this was all there was .

[@mashtransitproductions]

Not true. gabe and I spent from our personal money to fly everyone out, rent a motorhome, and ride one weekend. We had no sponsors making this.

[@jonjon9135]

I still watch this shit on the daily, Chapeau Le Boss🇦🇺🤙

[@macmakka8214]

yeah.................so Lance blew them away OBVIOUSLY NO DRUGS that day Lance has been getting a bad wrap , He was written up as a champ in 92/93 and was always to the fore - so he did what he did to level the field against the German and the others- BIG DEAL................he looks like a guy who enjoys his riding.

[@AGuyWithSomeDogs]

This is really interesting. It's pretty cool to see Lance riding with these guys. Thanks for the video!

[@klarkolofsson]

This video is on Vimeo in great quality.

[@tonyboughman8050]

Thanks for the tip! Love this video.

[@bebeDesigner]

This is the best video about fixies. I want a fixie with 7 gear at the back. This is my dream. and to ride as fast as these guys...

[@mackay6417]

What a break away!

[@ChristianEck-fg8bz]

Merci man ✌️💯

[@AnatolyLeonov]

I don't get how it's connected to Lance?

[@BedrockCho]

2:12 Lance is right here. And they go to his house at the very end.

[@AnatolyLeonov]

Did not recognize him! So low quality of video. I Though he appears only in the end.

[@LfurvnC]

Man, i lve these guys. i think they're so funny. my friend showed it to me and i couldn't help but laugh. i'd pick up cycling just to chill with these guys.

[@sirussm]

3:18 I love how lance is like wonna play with the big boys... C YA!! and he takes off down the road never to be seen again; BOSS/

[@tylershepard948]

Makes me want to ride. All day. Listening to this song.

Wow, a reasoned and well-researched response on a KZbin comments page. Hats/helmets off to you good sir!

[@Orgakoyd]

You never see people go up hills in these fixie videos, that's right, you can't.

[@fredo69ification]

Its really not that hard

[@Orgakoyd]

TuthHertzRadioOfficial 2 If you say you've seen it, I'll believe you but spinning is way more efficient so i'd rather condition myself on a road bike.

[@fredo69ification]

COL S. Trautman I killed some road bikes up hill today lmao u guys r weak

[@Orgakoyd]

fredo69ification So all roadies are weak based on the people you beat today?

[@danielhanna1167]

COL S. Trautman any seasoned cyclist should be able to commute just fine on a single speed,i ride fixed and live in salt lake city, utah (a giant valley with very few flats but abundant in unreasonable grades very capable of burning out a clutch or snapping a skinny road bike chain)yet i have commuted,competed and leisurely rode here for years .if you care to refute that then you should try owning a singlespeed or fixed gear (they are fairly inexpensive next to your tour bike with integrated shifting and carbon frame and/or water bottle holder)or maybe reconsider your level of dedication and/or fitness when it comes to bikes,we all deal with hills gears or not and i personally find it hilarious seeing someone exert all they have on the wrong gears and are now unable to manage shifting higher than their 1/1 or 20t/34t gear and are barely moving

[@goldenate]

Lance is just a beast at everything. Triathalons, marathons, racing, mountain biking, cyclocross, fixed.

[@SamDurell1]

no helmet and wearing runners, good to see a champ enjoying riding and saving everyone from the cops! great video

[@fajarsuryantoro7025]

Lance Armstrong The Dope and and bunch of fixie riders who trying to look cool by doing reckless riding

[@atariboombox]

@Bayplaces i totally support you... most guys riding any kind of bicycle here in México don't use helmets, idk why, a helmet will keep you safe and they even look cool!

[@PRIMEasRIB]

ya probly one of the best things ive heard! when a guy gives youu that much infor, you no hes hittin the bulls right on the eye! standin o!

[@frm1967]

These guys are also awesome! Drinking, eating and riding with Lance Armstrong

[@sk88ters4slife]

this vid is sick and i ride fixed gears. there is nothin wrong with mashing side by side to cars but dont over do it. like dont zip into a busy intersection but i aint complaining these guys no what there doing but that doesnt mean one of the people in cars isnt paying attention and hits you. thumbs up if you think im right

[@HKBaller27]

that cinelli frame is gorgeous

[@mehmetpinarci1456]

Superb , I wish I was there with Lance and with them boyz .

[@PaceAmoreGioia]

so you guys just showed up, and asked Lance if he wanted to come along for a ride?!! Wow! that's so cool!

[@hanmoncookmun]

That was some sweet speed yall got. Man i wish my legs could pump the peddles that fast. It was also sweet seeing Lance doin a little fixie. I would love to see a video of Lance skiddding.

[@red88alert]

it is what it is...when youre on that bike youre in a different state of mind!!!

[@TheMenditto]

Awesome riding video. looks like a ton of fun

[@poopypants07]

They are actually very efficient. You are forced to ride at a harder pace comapared to a geared bike, but the direct connection to the back cog and tension on the chain give you more downforce to your back tire. You can also pull up on your pedals to pull yourself up the hill instead of mashing down.

[@Quan_Vu]

awesome video... those riders are really good.. you can just tell by their cadence speeds... impressive stuff...

[@natedcruz]

sooooo awesome, i love lances mustache handlebars and when he tries to skid hahaha

[@yannis3756]

Best bicycle video out there

[@route9987]

it does.. also judging by the two stickers it's a H&Son rim , they did a MASH collab I think..

[@Leggoeggo101]

Getting to ride w/ Lance!! Sooo rad

[@impur1ty]

EMI's beard is full of win. and probably a bag of Sherrif Star hubs too. haha! awesome vid!

[@uhhchitlinlegs]

I'm mostly a fan of vintage steel racing bikes, but I've been meaning to get into fixed gears.

[@PaceAmoreGioia]

question(s)? so what made you guys just take a shot at riding with Lance? I mean what gave you the idea? Did you call him up or did ya just show up there?----that's just so cool. Anyway... I truly love this video, it's as if you've captured the sheer joy and essence which resides in every fiber of utter happiness and freedom that comes with riding a bicycle. LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY BICYCLE!!!---and may I say "the best way to travel." thanks for posting this video. : ) Peace.

[@Kphomma]

Most Track pursuit and older Time Trial frames had a 700c rear and a 650c or 24" front wheel

[@91JDMZ32]

@Bayplaces Agreed. I was in a bad accident with a drunk driver. My helmet LITERALLY saved my life. I don't remember the accident, I woke up in an ambulance, and I had to drop my entire semester. But, thanks to my helmet (in a perfectly safe riding scenario, by the way), I am breathing and still riding today.

[@Ericbuyslunch]

this video made me want a fixie. and so I got one. never looking back. shit is so much fun

[@Timkennedy11591]

wow I don't think ive seen such an awesome video in quite awhile. epic.

[@glenzigdan]

That was sick

[@ChristianEck-fg8bz]

Merci man ✌️💯 moi aussi le cancer 😜🥰

[@spoddog1]

thats looks fantastic, so wish i was that fit. love it.

[@1337weaj]

@KoenSmit91 depends how much you skid... if you skid a lot for fun it might take you about a month, but if you just commute, then you are mostly resist stopping (slowing down your pace, which slows you down) and they would of course last much longer... so probably an average if you commute of about 1 back tire per every 3-4 months, depending on if you bike everyday...

[@soobeng]

Oh this video is so awesome. GREAT stuff. Thanks very much for posting. single speed rocks.

[@Racingmix]

Check out Lance's aero positioning as he lights the field on fire on that last hill. TDF has trained him well.

[@AwesomeDrifterDrick]

@skibikerun21 this was part of the extra features on the "Mash SF" documentary dvd. i'm sure Mash has entered other videos to various bike film festivals

[@TijmenKr]

Agreed! I ride my fixed gear for 4 years now, mainly just for training purposes. Even do 100mile races on it. Just because it's a way smoother, the ride is so pure. It's about you, your strength, your bike and the road. But now I get remarks by some of those hipsters cause I can't ride 100 feet backwards and I don't have the latest neon-pink aerospoke and stuff. That pisses me off, really really bad!

[@CorniliousHatsoff]

would be cool to find out their bike build ups. like frame and stuff.

[@smith34n]

@mrpiehole A lot of these bikes are custom, but you can buy fixed gear/single speed bikes from most major bike manufacturers. Look up the Kona Paddy Wagon.

[@daFranch1se69]

Thats gotta be the coolest thing in the world, enjoying a casual ride with the greatest cyclist of all time. Wow.

[@Erztan]

I was 2n junior high scool that year😂

[@Racingmix]

Sick. Perfect video, really. And I was reading a comment earlier, "skidding with a bag of chips in one hand..." --- no it's skidding with a mini-keg in one hand! What a savage.

[@Wisepaul100]

So many nice bikes! Yep, I love biking too!

[@marc240792]

@faisalfarissi That could happen, but always try to keep quality components when it comes to cranks, chain, cog and lockring. It normally avoids such problems!

[@stuntdrag0n]

wow this makes biking look very fun

[@douglas61920]

This looks like so much fun!

[@reblekid2003]

That was some awesome twiddling there!

[@tsaxfreak]

I think it's awesome that lance rides mustache bars.

[@frankie1833]

having lance armstrong around to talk to the cops was genius...wtf is he gonna say? "no lance armstrong you can't ride your bike here"?! hahaha

[@jusimplicit]

chains are actually the last thing that should fail on you on any part of your bike as long as you know how to maintain your chain regularly. meaning.. checking chain stretch/wear/integrity, consistent cleaning/lubrication, replacing as needed. Majority of chain snaps are due to the user's fault. ALWAYS CHECK if any pins are misaligned or any links are stiff after breaking your chain.. MOST IMPORTANTLY always maintain a perfect/near perfect chainline when riding brakeless fixed..

[@TheILLTechnics]

Fuck, i miss my bike. the dude with the hed 3 and mini keg of heinikin is a badass.

[@reidefined]

he is, probably a 650cc up front and a 700cc in the rear. quite popular among trickers lately.

[@caras5590]

this a whole vibe

[@illcosbeats]

i love biking fucked up with or without buddies but i still gotta be safe somehow (backroads,deadroads,latenight rides with minimal cars,lots of lights on the bike,or a radio to bring along so you can blare music like the bass boosters in there motorized vehicles)

[@shoeblaze]

handle bars may vary, but overall if the bike has drops and a good set of wheels it can be used as a track bike

[@mmrmurph3578]

yes he has crazy form and know how

[@ridingthenose]

I converted an old roadbike for less than $200 and it only took like 2 weeks to get all the parts together. And it is worth it

[@HGULCH]

right. my question was, is there any connection between deep-v rims and coaster brakes. slightly off topic, but not really.

[@rayachheuy]

Loved the vid. Some of the riding was a bit reckless, but you guys had a lot of fun and got to hang out with the man. So jelly. Where was this at? Looks like an awesome place to ride.
