OUR DIRTIEST GRAVEL RACE SO FAR!

Part three in our ATLAS carbon launch series, we're taking off all the bags to race the Dirty Reiver! The weather forecast looked grim, and didn't let us down ;)
Keep tuning in for more videos to come and see how we race these bikes in hot and dusty Spain next week!

[@rosssanelli]

Never fails to impress . Great to see the softer , non competitive side from the group , allowing us to tag along . 😊

[@ronaldomac4918]

Love the banter and footage, stumbled across your video looking for Dirty Reiver vids, and this is a belter.....! :)

[@jonathanspence7721]

Loved it guys! An absolute Fernwee classic! Loved the good humour in the faces of the Dirty Reaver!

[@JoeAnstice]

"Nice landscape.. why not hold this race in July" - this is the UK, chances are the weather would be the same in our dear wet and windy Wales :P Niiice! Looks like my kind of fun haha

[@chirpy999]

You guys worked hard, what an event!!!!! The struggle really comes over in the film !!!!!

[@gannebamm2]

Just by seeing the first few minutes I really like the somewhat new‘ish and more playful style in storytelling as well as overall cinematic aesthetics

[@Fernwee]

Thats great to hear!

[@hughwatkin2779]

Love the comment about the landscape and why not in July. One word "midges".

[@Fernwee]

True!

[@jdeckard1243]

Thanks for taking us along.... That looked very gritty and hard in the cold..

[@fucktheworld1207]

Fernwee sliding a fart out at 11:15 in the video 😂😂😂 Well done you 4 crazy nutcases 😂😂😂

[@Fernwee]

Haha well spotted

[@mmau]

Missed this one when it came out, so good 👌

[@Whafe]

Another cracking great video. Dirty Sanchez may well be the better make for this event

[@EvidenceofaFabulousLife]

General tips: Avoid Newcastle, mudguards, clear lenses, own coffee facilities (aeropress) for morning shitting…..great vid as always 🤪

[@Fernwee]

Good points!

[@OriginalCyclist]

Great to meet you. I followed one of you with a camera on your back which was just getting caked in mud 🥴. I ditched my attempt to film it this year halfway through as my GoPro just looked like a muddy stone 😂

[@raymondelliot4605]

Looks great fun, the distance would kill me 👍🏻🚵🏻‍♂️

[@heidijarvis777]

The great British weather. 😅

[@CyclingWithDan]

Great tune

[@nicholasvipond2205]

Top video fellas, nice one ✌️

[@gedpitts8879]

What a great video. Apparently last year was Dusty Reiver. No rain

[@m1les7]

Great video guys, the best DR video by far.👌👌 In July you would get eaten alive by Midges!! (Tiny itchy insects, millions of them.) You all did brilliant, how long did it take you?

[@lazlo2511]

That looked like fun, but no sun… those tyres seem to have handled well. So now you know not to be in the UK before June.😅

[@robbrayford151]

Which do you prefer relentless heat of Badlands, or wet slop of the UK ? Great content 👍🏻

[@Fernwee]

Badlands any day

[@tim_stealth]

Looks epic, great video! Why no mudguards?

[@florianz.2572]

Good Job. 🤙🏽

[@julianallen515]

:Why don't they hold this in July? One word MIDGES

[@monsters8730]

You said you liked the Pathfinders, but that was before you hit the mud. Did that change your opinion?

[@Fernwee]

Didnt slide out, so still happy ;)

[@shutterbyifan7958]

amazing video! were you racing with your a7c? how do you keep the front element clean? you must be wiping the lens more than your face

[@Fernwee]

Nah took the DJI action 2

[@goico72]

Last year was warm and very dusty.

[@jessezarate6571]

Hey man really cool videos. In this beginning part which camera do you use? Thank you!

[@Fernwee]

A7C!

[@fullgasjaxon7572]

[@owepauly399]

Impressive pictures. What chain-lube did you use? Is wax capable to handle with such conditions?

[@Fernwee]

Dynamic Ultra lube, no relubes needed!

[@owepauly399]

@@Fernwee thank you for your quick reply.

[@tobiasTbager]

What handlebars are you riding - width and model? :D

[@zdyboo]

You mudded it. :)

[@traderz13]

They do run it in July but then its just called Reiver.

[@myturbulance]

#dontleftJELMER :)

[@adamcooper988]

New product, Focus mudguards?

[@Fernwee]

Hah i think they already exist ;)

[@jvlian_r]

9:07 so that was unnecessary, especially after you visited the country recently.

[@siriosstar4789]

If i bring my MTB or touring bike or beach cruiser or BMX etc , to the race , am i still "gravel riding " or do i have to ride a bike that can't decide whether it's a road bike or an MTB.

[@Fernwee]

Legally you have to bring a carbon bike with drop bars, no suspension, single chainring & tubeless tires. Otherwise you're not riding gravel.

[@siriosstar4789]

i hope the bike doesn't have to be organic vegan and free range .

[@johnlesoudeur3653]

Fashion over fenders lol.

[@peters8504]

This is gal looks just like Sami from thereabouts - maybe her ??

[@Fernwee]

Maybe yes!

[@samisauri]

did you farted minute 11:15? 😅

[@Fernwee]

Well someone’s paying attention here! I blame it on the red bulls

[@samisauri]

@@Fernwee I mean haha i forgive you just because I also got stomach pain the night before, but at least i was sleeping alone hahahahah

[@russellspeight5175]

5:45 Trust me, you do not under any circumstances, want to be in Kielder in July. Google MIDGES...

[@Fernwee]

Haha fair point
