My BEST Gravel Race Result! (Gravel Locos Race Recap)

[@kle5701]

That mountain biker kid hanging with the pros is the real winner.

[@mikeandlisaschlageter1590]

Thank you 😊 That’s our son, Dylan Schlageter! He’s vegan, 16 and was stoked to ride with the VC and his other favorite pros!

VC still playing like he is not a heavy hitter… congrats man definitely deserved

[@DublinDapper]

Dude trains like a pro but then goes on like hes just a noob..its kinda funny

[@mattk8810]

@@DublinDapper he has tons of humility.

[@jaredladia]

For real! Top 10 with this lineup and you should know you belong there now!

[@henri-5606]

What an awesome video and performance

[@wbaareshit1981]

@@DublinDapper correct back in 2017 I up my cycling by 3hr a week and that made a massive difference

[@Baggellyh]

the " i mount it on my wall" caught me off guard, had a fat giggle

[@Micolash777]

Yeah, that cracked me up too :D

[@joekaleita7782]

"I sorta felt like I was overkill on my tires" "I actually felt really good with my bike handling skills...I usually don't" - I think these might be related!

[@rocco.mbb.zoccoli]

“Do a skid” lmao! Between that and Ted Kings thumb on the mantle... so solid of a watch!

[@stangy007]

I agree

[@Punxish]

Congratulations and loved your commentary and humor on this...."We get to the 2nd rest stop...I grab some epo..."

[@dannyr333]

I caught that the epo I was like bahaa

[@user-sc3on5ov3e]

The heavy hitters club will definitely get the EPO comment. Great job on your finish! Nice video

[@timothyskattum950]

😂😂😂

[@TW-fv2zu]

"I grab some E.P.O." 11:47 Hahaha - Thug-life, Tour-life!

[@PlayingBikes]

Bro, that bit about DJ trying to catch a glimpse of C-money’s kibbles and bit was funny AF. Almost as legit as you trying to murk that shrub in Death Valley

[@XCBen]

LOL

[@cyclingluke9412]

“That guy in the brown” everyone was brown at that point😂

[@mayalman]

Dude was living in the future!

[@jcsrst]

That was my thought too 😂

[@ChannelofChase]

Dude thanks for the shoutout, really enjoyed those last few hours with you guys. Let's go get that top 5 next year!

[@brianmessemer2973]

Wow you actually linked Dylan's race video in your end cards. Very classy. You two have the funniest cycling content. Loved you framing Ted King's thumb up 😂

[@Stephen-nq5kd]

Trying to bridge with a guy named Chase.., almost poetic. Great film, great ride.

[@OtesOtesOtes]

Now I gotta try chasing with a guy named Bridge

[@rudyaragon8020]

The best part was your reaction at the end to "do a skid" 😄

[@SendingStache]

Always so humble despite crushing so hard. I don’t comment enough about how dope your VLOGs are!

[@happyjim8027]

VC your videos are so good…so positive..you never have a negative thing to say…your family should be so proud of you. We are…awesome job. So good.

[@XCBen]

Bro, you definitely belong there. You're the man.

[@mikemcclammy2175]

Thank y’all for coming out to our little town to support our local fire department! We really appreciate each and every one of y’all! We can’t wait till next year!

[@monzadh]

great vid/recap....you crushed it, you are a "Heavy Hitter" my friend....

[@liquefied4332]

Damn Tyler, you smashed it! Super stoked for you to take on Unbound this year; just remember not to over-hydrate this time! You're gonna crush it dude!

[@clarky5947]

Finally I’ve been waiting for this 🔥

[@Stephensry]

[@glenbergman9040]

Well done sir, especially on the comeback from the femur fracture! Death Valley taught you how to suffer well!

[@djiembefola]

Respect to the VC, who is hitting pretty heavy in this episode. You should be proud!

[@Paul-ik2sj]

"I'm always here to give you the back of the pack perspective" lol VC.. Love your humor!

[@ktbartholomew]

Great racing with you dude, can't wait to do it again!

[@profesam8457]

Great video. I appreciated your humility and your gratitude to those guys who helped bring you along. “👍” said Ted King. Lovit!

[@MrNoFear26]

Gonna go get a ride in now. 🚴‍♂️ This is the motivation I needed. Thanks VC!

[@BobShurunkle]

Well played sir. It would never have occurred to me that running water would be the biggest enemy of deep section rims

[@brianmessemer2973]

Right after you posted on Strava I looked up the race results on their website. Seeing you on the top ten with those world class gravel names - so stoked for you man. Nothing is impossible bruh 💪💪

[@hillclimbxkuba3123]

Genius commentary! Awesome event, gratz on 10th, really enjoyed it. Please keep going!

[@kailenpiardi2721]

your videos on these brutal endurance races are my absolute favorite. that river crossing was so sick!!

[@BIIIKES]

6:48 I laugh every single time I see this part 😂 Haha

[@nigelstanley3674]

That’s just the best most entertaining vid Ever. The porta potty entry, the Pooh pile, Ted’s thumbs up and more but what a race man!! Brilliant. I’ve seen a few of the other vids and you got shout outs from Dylan, Ted and Lauren’s. Due recognition and a top 10 finish. Awesome, just awesome. Thanks for the efforts, the vids, the entertainment and the sacrifices you make to get this quality out to us!! I dropped a Chris Pritchard vid to jump over but hey don’t tell him.

[@AdamRobergeCycling]

Great recap Tyler! With that result, we will have to start calling you a pro cyclist. Even though you're already doing better financially than 99% of "pro cyclists" in the US. KEEP up the great work!

[@TwoWheels_OO]

He’s not making more than 99% of the pro’s, the top 20 are making millions, fact, the top 50 after that are making hundreds of thousands, but I hear the average pro on the pro circuit is making 30-40k I hear. How much is VC making? He’s got a day job, he’d be doing pretty good from KZbin, not sure how much, it would vary depending on how much content he puts out, 1K a month for sure, maybe a lot more but nothing crazy.

[@etiennebrunet198]

Commentaire de marde.

[@AdamRobergeCycling]

@@TwoWheels_OO I said pro in the US...

[@TwoWheels_OO]

@@AdamRobergeCycling - Okay, I’m from Australia I don’t know about US cyclist doing well at the moment, and as for he’s KZbin he may not even make $100 a week so no I think if you’re pro continental you’re making $26,200 - $171,200 and if you can make it into the UCI they earn minimum wage 2.35 Million. Imagine even making 26K a year as a cyclist that would be a dream, you could live off that in US so money in the end doesn’t matter. Gallop pole said 85% of humanity based on 1 billion people hate the work they do.

[@btbike_24]

26k in US is like.. paying rent and eating ramen and hope your bike chain don’t break 😂

[@rpdole]

Was so looking forward to your race report after hearing how well you did. Great effort! Well done!

[@ceblanch]

So much fun watching all the perspectives of this race. Great job VC and you probably had the best video presentation, at least top 3.

[@m1les7]

10th dude!! That’s ace in a field of big hitters. Congratulations ❤️🎉🎉🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@Moving_Chicane]

perhaps one of your best videos as well - loved it! thanks!!!

Dude so badass!!! From coming off an injury to this?! What?!!?!? BEAST BRO!! Looks so fun! Thanks for bringing us along!

Finally got a chance to watch this. Great video and a great representation of the roads we have here. I've seen so many motorcycles go down on those exact river crossings. Good idea to play it safe.

Congrats Tyler! It’s been amazing seeing your progress over the past few years. Super inspiring! Thanks Tyler!

[@markoneill2908]

I kept checking for this to come out when I saw your excellent result, congrats my friend. Looks like gravel is your jam, long distance riding, to be that close to the prod after 7hrs is amazing

[@skyranger341]

Been waiting for this one! So entertaining! Laughing so much. Great result!
