The Impossible Route: THE DARK DIVIDE (Adventure Documentary - Se.2 Ep.3)

[@luxsasha]

You may not read this but I watch your impossible route videos with my son in the evenings as a literal movie. I break down little things he doesn’t understand about bikes but he LOVES watching these with me. ❤❤❤❤

[@TheVCAdventures]

That is awesome!

[@rab0309]

same dude... same

[@sisaktamas]

I did that too in short bits. At 6 my son doesn’t have the patience or knowledge to follow through, but we’ll get there.

[@Potyapov_Andru]

Good dad you are

[@plantstrongcycling]

Whatever money you make off these videos isn't enough. You deserve to be a billionaire by now who can open up a Chipotle site in the middle of all your Impossible routes. I can't tell you how many times I've seen each episode training for my first Unbound 200 miler. SO motivating and inspirational. I couldn't hit my training goals without them.

[@lipsterman1]

Andrew is the epitome of living in the moment.

[@russellzauner]

If they'd have called it "cyclocross" and he looked it up he might not have come - "hikabiking" is much more friendly term for basically biking through the jungle AND the mountains.

[@ytubela]

I love it when he pops up on SAFA's videos and now here

[@Ride4Fun]

The only thing that hurts watching Tyler's short doc videos is to see how few subscribers his channel has. He might not be the best cyclist, the best videographer or the best story teller but I have no doubt he's the best of all 3. He puts so much in these videos that it just hurts seeing how few subscribers he has compared with other related channels. After every video I watch, all I wanna do is to jump on my bike and go out. Chapeau Tyler!

[@TheVCAdventures]

I appreciate that, and i think it comes down to the DONT appeal to the MASS AUDIENCE. If I did short cheezy prank videos, I’d get more views, but I wouldn’t be proud of what we created. I’m very proud of these films.

[@morganil93]

Never change! I love your content, especially these massive impossible rides and the races@@TheVCAdventures Certainly inspired me to take cycling more seriously, having a blast!

[@SquidWaffe]

Give him some credit! Dudes a ultra distance champion. Thats gotta make u one of the best cyclists out there

[@plantstrongcycling]

There's nothing better than watching these rides during a trainer workout. I'll contribute at least 15 full-through plays to this video before Unbound 2023!

[@steven33w]

Absolutely epic! You have to have Andrew back for something. Guy is a legend.

[@RobertCampbell-ic4ms]

Jeremiah being cranky Dad this episode 😂 another great instalment to the series team. I even took the day off to sit at home uninterrupted to watch this 👌👌

[@Zyzzyx42]

I'm doing my own "Impossible Route" tomorrow, taking the gravel bike and riding the course of our local 100 mile trail run (with 16k feet climbing!). It is one massively huge step for me over what I normally do. This video should be some good inspiration, I was planning on re-watching Death Valley or Texas before I saw this show up.

[@BIIIKES]

good luck!!!!

[@jani724]

Yessir! Get it

[@zacharyolsonn]

Good luck man!

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

Be Safe and have fun!

[@darrelduke]

good luck zyzzyx!!!!

[@peteross4587]

Man, Andrew is so grounded...bring him back for more!

[@Eleanor.Moseman]

Better than an hour sitting with a therapist. Very needed! Thanks! (And shout out to Seth! ❤)

[@tkbuz]

Yay - a new impossible route. Can’t tell you how many times I repeat to myself “future me will appreciate this” every time I’m out for a hard ride or run!

[@MrStjn]

Really thought Andrew was going to be the old Tyler who struggled his way through these events but Andrew totally smashed it !! So good to have a new face/ personality on the ride. Hats off to everyone involved providing this contents, it's of the highest quality. Look forward to the next one but wearing your ultra national champs jersey!!!😂

[@emilioc700]

As always, an inspiring adventure. And Andrew is a stoicbeast. Off the couch and crushes an impossible route. If that doesn't get folks off the couch and out of their comfort zone, they're one foot in the grave.

[@wudhrbjudhsbn]

Definitely need to get Andrew back, what a legend. The three of you seem to gel

[@dannyawang4677]

What a ride! Insane project to be a part of! Mega shout out to Tyler, Jeremiah, Andrew, Alex and Seth! Absolute legends

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

Thanks for all your hard work Danny it takes village! For those who dont know Danny shot a lot of this!

[@TriathlonDan]

Not clicked on a video so fast since Harry Potter. Looking forward to watching this!

[@x118xdriver182]

When VC says Andrew puts the IR to shame love it :)

[@DrewMtl]

Andrew still looks fresh at the end of the ride. Did you guys do the same ride as him?

[@TheVCAdventures]

It was crazy. Then he got up at 4am to catch a flight. He’s not human.

[@hennnnerz]

@@TheVCAdventures He rides bmx and motorcross and he is that fit? How?!?!

[@luannproctor672]

Hahahahhaha

[@pushbeyondaverage]

Andrew Jackson - a great inspiration!

[@fabinhosaborio3067]

The best thing ever was reading: Tyler Pearce - current ultra distance national champion!!

[@iliketoski23]

Stoked to watch you shred the PNW. Great work, Tyler, Andrew, and Jerimiah!

[@jalenoutside]

Andrew is a legend for this! Such a great attitude.

[@fullmetalyellowjacket8560]

Andrew looked fresh even at the end of the ride. Bro is solid , the perfect guy to take in rides like these

[@tomasperformancepodcast]

No words! Just… too good! The route, the film… it’s an unforgettable experience just to have watched these

[@agitabelahakiki8302]

HUGE RESPECT for Tyler, Jermiah, Andrew, and the whole crew for doing this!!!

[@VoiceOverTrailReviews]

Thank you for making this! I've ridden almost all the trails you did in this video, definitely not in 36 hours, but the Dark Divide is one of my favorite places in the PacNW. The entire Gifford Pinchot is just wildly magical and supernatural in a way nowhere else quite compares to. Watching you experience the same places I've experienced and have the same emotional reaction was validating and brought a tear to my eye. Watching this motivated me to pack the backcountry skis into my car, take a personal day off work, and head up here to do some backcountry skiing in the DD.

[@ebw82]

VC: Thank you for putting these together and sharing such amazing and inspiring stories. Love when these come out!

[@IzzyPerezCycling]

These videos keep getting better. Great job on inviting Andrew and showing more of the interaction within you guys while doing the impossible route. Is not only the ride part but those moments like setting up camp and picking where to sleep that makes the videos great.

[@Chog86]

Tylers speech at 37.00+ is gospel. Everyone needs to hear this and do this!

[@bigmikeshooter]

Bravo from Greece,just great....

[@thaynamite]

First before i watch ,THUMBS UP ... then watching and enjoying ... amazing , pls never stop making these nice movies ... cheers thaynamite :)

[@darrenrettburg1473]

You have no idea how inspirational these Impossible Route videos are. Because of them, last year I did my own. (successful) This year I have another one planned with the idea of possibly doing a second one also. Thanks for what you do.

[@bestretirementever7931]

Congrats to the whole team. BRE

[@endurerare]

You know a real cyclist when they eat wearing their helmet on. 😅 Andrew was a great addition! Another killer Impossible Route VC!!! BZ Tyler, Jeremiah and Andrew.

[@allytaylor2367]

Great video, Andrew is a great addition!

[@GhostTrainPhoto]

I'm training for Unbound right now and these docs GIVE ME LIFE on the trainer! The quality, the story...everything. Every story has given me another treasure trove of quotes and moments to refer to when I'm in the hurt locker. I absolutely love every single one and have watched all of them several times.

[@azoharadonis9452]

You may not see this comment, but I wanted to tell you, my wife and I watch your videos every night. We both just bought bikes a few weeks ago and have started our fitness journey. Your videos are so inspiring and make me want to push harder and farther. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@AegenemmnoN]

Man, you are producing some of the absolute best bike content there is. The visuals and these locations are just incredible. It’s really inspiring to see what the human body can do… and made me decide on buying a MTB. I legit cannot comprehend how you got out there 3 days after the 508. I look forward to every one of the impossible routes and really hoping your channel and these videos get the recognition they deserve.

[@peteross4587]

Yes! This came at the right time! Just caught something and feeling poorly...

[@steven320]

I feel like Tyler and JB are always on the edge of a relationship breakdown. Body language is a giveaway. Seems a very fine line. Interesting dynamic.

[@TheVCAdventures]

Well, I think it comes down to the fact that the only time we see each other, it’s under the worst possible conditions. The stress levels are always so high and discomfort is so great, that we can butt ends a bit. But that will happen with anyone if you do 9 impossible routes together, these things are rough.

[@steven320]

@@TheVCAdventures It must be such a test of relationship. Surely there are times you want to rant at each other? You guys both have seriously strong personalities and that would make it tough. Love the Impossible Route series. Always a gripping watch!

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

Yeah, Steve we have our moments but when the films come out we rejoice in sharing REAL moments, The hugs the arguments the high fives and the achievements. It is pressure that makes Diamonds! 🙌

[@PK-qq1lz]

Hey guys, love can do it all. Love is the key! I feel bonded with you, my brothers! All the best for many more adventures...

[@mlee6136]

Hallelujah on the comment about being healthy and fit to be able to ride. When we are young we take that for granted, as you get older the body is not as pliant nor does it recover as fast, speaking as a 56 year old life long cyclist. Appreciate life and good health.. great video.

[@pastormonge]

Fullllll send love it Another epic adventure

[@velodor2267]

I got turned off of cycling for a long time because it was source of relief in my deepest depression, and when my mental health improved I didn't want the reminder of why I used to ride. Now I ride because I want to remember where I came from, where I am now, and... Because I got super fat. I'm now sworn to never stop riding.

[@robahelms]

Tyler, I am with you....I would have rode 6 miles to the RV camp! Great video.

[@robertask9027]

One of the best projects in the cycling industry ever!

[@SaltyChip]

I knew I was going to like Andrew based off his 1st lil interview. I prefer friends with that type of vibe.

[@nedt]

Great ride and even better video. Very jealous of that beer at the top. Thankyou

[@robinellis6]

We love a helicopter shot start, hell yeh!

[@BIIIKES]

Nice job, gents. Love the vibe Andrew brought!

[@christopher2041]

Andrew is my new hero!!! 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻

[@normanthenomad22]

Totally loved meeting Andrew J! Please make him a regular. Really enjoyed his energy.

[@Mr2fiveone]

Amazing bike journey and footage! Gentlemen, thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

We really hope they inspire and uplift people, riders and everyday folks looking to face their challenges! Cheers!

[@ebhkkc1]

One of my favorites thus far. Great job

[@r.ryder1]

You guys are one more reason to chase adventures both on/off the bike!

[@phoneindustrydesign]

You definitely gota bring Andrew to the next episode!

[@markfreedle]

BOOM! ...and that my friend was epic!

[@TMP1016]

These have done nothing but get better each episode. Well done.

[@markusr530]

Awesome as always. Looking forward to the Fat Bikes episode. 🤙

[@grumpywoodchucker]

That one was truly impossible, but oh so fun to watch from the sidelines...!

[@curtvaughan2836]

Thanks!

[@itstrbo]

Andrew was a vibe, feel like this is the least complaining Tyler has ever done, bring him out again he seems to have brought the best out of you great content as always!!

[@aspenshanti]

Oh wow! I was just getting ready to hop on the trainer for an easy zone 1 ride and boom Vegan cyclist with an Impossible Route to make it all better.

[@Btstaz]

These are becoming off the wall epic videos

[@Btstaz]

I love the end where Andrew is like, why are you guys so dramatic this wasn't that bad. Guy looks like he is ready to do a second lap.

[@JTBikeAdventures.]

I just have to say that I love your channel. The way you put your story together and the way you present everything just keep me glued and wanting to see more. You are definitely one of my top favorite KZbin channel to watch.

[@TheVCAdventures]

Thank you so much! A lot of talented people work super hard to make these happen, glad you enjoyed it.

[@MarkCox11]

Just finished watching all of your impossible routes again, so glad there is another one!

[@darrelduke]

i have enjoyed all of the IR's but for sheer stoke, this was it. nothing crazy happened, not much complaining cough tyler cough and andrew set such a chill/rock solid/yin to yang balance. the commentary by the riders was top notch, delving into the humanity aspect a little more.

[@Thefloppyearedcyclist]

Can’t wait to watch this later 🎉🎉🎉

[@aymalb]

Andrew is cool af. Good job guys! Another awesome movie!

[@davidpeters4914]

I always enjoy watching one of your "Impossible Rides." I love how the tension builds, and watching everyone cope with difficult situations...we are a resilient species! Keep up the good work and definitely bring Andrew back!

[@ankurd2889]

Finally a black dude in the outdoors game...!! love it...!!

[@MajorDenisBloodnok]

I save this video for my next home trainer session... Tomorrow? Yes!!! Not that I like to sweat on my HT but I want to watch this new Impossible Route video!

[@patrickoconnor9741]

awesome to see a new one!

[@retoschneider6087]

awesome... and very inspirational.... thank you guys

[@gwmtnbiker]

Glad to see you enjoy my backyard!!!!

[@gsolutionsasia]

What is the sum of amazing and crazy? You gave me an extraordinary watching time. Thanks for that!!!

[@WintergardenPL]

Love those Impossible Route documentary movies. More movies than document.

[@mskaira302]

Finally a route from where I live.

[@basajaunnn]

Thanks Tyler for always making great content and inspiring me and countless others. Much love from the east coast!!!

[@TheFelipeLima]

Love the MTB content. Keep it up, Vegan!

[@rob_cd]

These videos always make my day! 🎉

[@KahluaBomb]

I recognized a bunch of the trails from having ridden them before and I gotta agree with you - nothing in my life put me on a trajectory to be out in the middle of a volcano or in the dark divide on a bike, alone, with no cell service, just riding and taking in the majesty of the PNW. I'm glad I am where I am, and i'm thankful that you guys showed what real XC/touring is like out in the PNW. Many times i've thought "I don't even like hiking yet here I am, pushing a fucking bike up this mountain" I'm gonna stop calling it hiking and start calling it mountaineering.

[@philtucker856]

Great video. Andrew really added something the party. What a guy. So humble but what an athlete.

[@ourwilliam2405]

A Truly, truly awesome video, Thanks so much.

[@zeusfitter007]

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏼

[@benrobinson8635]

Massive respect and love for Andrew.

[@fifthcircle1]

Best biking series available! More impossible routes!!!! MOOOORE!!!

[@TK-oq2qx]

looks like a pair of light hiking shoes would have been worth the weight penalty! Nice work and inspiring film!

[@TheVCAdventures]

If I do anything like this again, good shoes will be an absolute necessity.

[@deanpesci8484]

Wow.....just wow.....and Andrew is just an all out stud.

[@russellzauner]

Algo brought me here - Jeremiah is the best lol too many quotes that resonate, being an Oregon boy born/raised.

[@abdullahabir8728]

i really missed this series Thanks tyler bring this back❤️

[@luannproctor672]

Dude that young guy is strong!!!!! So are u guys but he’s like so unphased. Ty for another great IR!!!!!!!!! Watched last night❤🎉🎉🎉

[@andylowrey5174]

I had a front row seat to the St. Helen's eruption and have visited the mountain several times since. But never with a mountain bike. So I am inspired by your journey and intend bring my bike next time! At my age I will take it in smaller chunks for sure. Well done!

[@strenkp]

Andrew was ripping trails and such a nice person! This is best form of cycling for me. Go out in the wild, no traffic, just ride (and hike haha) :)

[@trwilliams22]

As always, excellent video. Keep doing what your doing.

[@jonez110]

That was just wonderful!

[@chriscosby6891]

Another winning edition of The (i'm)Possible Route. Great footage and commentary. Ride on, y'all!

[@JEstr357]

Finally!!!! The wait is over for Episode 3. Can't wait for Ep. 4

[@andyheilmann1656]

Andrew was a great addition to the team!

[@keith_cottongim]

Andrew most chill person ever!

[@classactracing]

Great video. Cycled there myself. Bringing back some good memories. Thanks for sharing and ride on!
