Unicycling around the world: Episode 2 (France)

[@iankopl3719]

This is probably the most underrated series on youtube imo

[@kirtil5177]

yeah, youtube recomended me one of these videos and i found the playlist. best youtube recomendation

[@gamerking9667]

Yes

[@CalvinRRC]

For real. It's an incredible journey full of twists and turns which I won't spoil for those still just getting into it. Genuinely epic.

[@TriflingToad]

​@@CalvinRRC I'm currently rewatching this bc of a faint memory of him drinking from a dirty pipe when I watched it when I was 8

[@CrusherFitter]

Can’t believe I missed this 5 years ago. Exited to binge it all now. Also makes me wonder what I’m missing now that I’ll discover in another 5 years.

[@freak5546]

Same, but 3 years later

[@bella-zq9zh]

Same but 4 years later

[@sebastiencote1565]

Same 9 years later

[@ingmarmeester6797]

So dit you find anything

[@helloim3j]

How in nearly five years has no one commented on the hilarious moment when he (the unicycler) biked past the guy missing the wheel? That was glorious.

[@passcraft1]

Yeah it was

[@iphgfqweio]

that dude stole the bike. probably in france is still a locked frontwheel somewhere

[@jayh9529]

Did you steal my wheel 😂👍

[@1.4142]

I did one month before you made this comment. "Kevin Luo 8 months ago 9:07 That's ironic."

[@cookedoven]

H when

[@csmcbdgr]

I was suggested your 'Can I Follow a River from Source to Sea WITHOUT Leaving it?' video and you mentioned your Unicycle tour in that video so here I am fully committed to the 132 videos! 😍 Great content Ed - just a bit gutted I hadn't discovered your channel sooner.

[@Bonk2027]

Actually same

[@morgunkorn_]

Same here, and now Patreon + soon owner of EdPratt Merch, I'm fully committed too ^^

[@fredbutlerfb]

Decided to start watching this amazing trip from the beginning

[@johnhanley7214]

As a bike rider ( 2 wheels ) got to be one of the most amazing videos. He can never coast, even downhill

[@georgekoukouris2347]

That's a very interesting point I never thought about!

[@twizz420]

Or stand up to stretch and keep pedalling.. Or lean on his handlebars to take weight off his lower back/legs. It's INSANELY difficult. This is nothing like biking across the world.

[@birdiec]

@@twizz420 Cycling is a hard tedious thing. Unicylcing is downright unbelievable.

[@dpiddy82]

I've just started watching and that is all I keep thinking about! This would be so much easier on 2 wheels! (but still a huge challenge!).

[@1999Goose99]

Funny how cautious you were about an A Road back then when you consider some of the roads you rode on later - A Fan from Somerset

[@catch2297]

1999Goose99 also from Somerset (although I think my area is bath and northeast Somerset)

[@Sev_Auk]

After watching your entire world tour and your hundreds of videos Ed, I feel the need to come back to this first "travel" video. You really hooked me in with some "Rusted Root" to start yourself off. I've loved that band for years. While I definitely appreciate how much your videos improved over the the three plus years of your travels, I still appreciate the sense you had at the very beginning of your journey. For me, personally, starting off with "Send Me On My Way", was really great! Cheers, Sev

[@PaulJWells]

I started watching the episodes at the end of the journey. Amazing to see how young Ed looks in these early episodes and how clean and new the equipment all looks.

[@weston407]

I started watching your videos from the Australian leg and then came back to the beginning and it's funny to hear how out of breath you are in this one - thousands of miles must be incredible conditioning!

[@johnrasmussen8976]

I was just saying the same thing to my wife half an hour ago!

[@TheMrBlizzarz]

@@johnrasmussen8976 xD

[@nickwalter9630]

Ed is the last in the line of great eccentric British travellers and explorers.

[@kellydclear]

I started watching the more recent episodes and enjoyed it so much I went back to the beginning. The really fun part of this is seeing you go from a boy to a man. Well done on the epic ride!

[@michaelw6422]

Cool to see him gain confidence and experience with his touring style, filming, editing and storytelling too!

[@Batman099]

Just start watching this great series.

[@bupeldox5759]

Just got recommended ur most recent video, i feel like im going to watch most, if not all of ur videos

[@ignorantsoviet1059]

Yeah exactly the same almost finished everything

[@oxman5646]

Damn just started watching, but when he started playing send me on my way by Rusted Root... I'm hooked:)

[@ala0284]

Absolute bop

[@brianadriolo6056]

What a legend! A shame i only found this stuff out today.

[@mikelogan2239]

Time for a re-watch from start to finish

[@Slappa6869]

I'm watching this from the beginning for the second time. I'm absolutely astounded by you Ed, Well done!

[@joshbutlin4506]

Watching from the start 👊🏻

[@Nitram4392]

Same here. 😊

[@Nitram4392]

I'm looking forward to the moment he gets his awesome helmet mod. 😁

[@Screeny42]

OH MY DAYS! 126 series more in that playlist! NICE :) You are hero Ed Pratt :D

[@nuwanthilina4940]

Started to watch this again ❤️

[@phills6732]

Perfect use for that first song. Nobody else can use it now. It's the law.

[@ChrisPinCornwall]

Ed, I think you're just amazing. Well done, so very well done.

[@JokkazArt]

Doing another re-watch! ED is always inspiring 🔥

[@arthurbissolotti]

That's such a cool adventure!

[@muhsyarief1594]

You're amazing man....i love to watch all of your videos..well... keep safe and thanks for sharing your adventures

[@aladeenyos6921]

bro rlly finished this journey actually insane a memory he gonna never forget

[@shottyrush5403]

Starting watching from the beginning so happy to have found this content.

[@JokkazArt]

Well, re watching after finishing your Latvia series 🙏🏼

[@BIGJED75]

Young Ed, so fresh faced.

[@thedavelowry]

Hey Ed, hope you're well. Heard about you by watching all of Mark Beaumonts round the world in 80 days videos on his channel and after binging all of his, I've now started yours! When he met you in Australia I knew I wanted to come back to watching your videos, and here we are. Just a few into the adventure and your energy and enthusiasm is incredible. Don't think I've smiled so much watching youtube in ages. Amazing work! This is such a feel good adventure video series :)

[@dpiddy82]

Just discovered your channel and videos today! Will be following each episode to see how it goes! Really interesting!

[@g.h.t.6881]

Okay I've been spending the last few days catching up on your journey and loving it. Just watched your latest video. So back to catching up. anybody know why this video is unavailable.

[@MiniMattTV]

G.H.T. Unavailable for me too

[@HonestPianist]

Its cause of copyrights, youtube has done it again.

[@onajourney2072]

How to stop your bike being stolen- ride a unicycle instead.

[@gonewild1220]

He he mate trust a lad from the west country to take on such an epic challenge!!! I had to come and check out where it started from the beginning, loving your content fella thanks for sharing your magic 👣

[@adamski9936]

Can’t believe I missed this 6 years ago. Exited to binge it all now. Also makes me wonder what I’m missing now that I’ll discover in another 6 years. (Stolen comment)

[@phoenixfoster-smith8585]

I live in weymouth, i was going to a nearby school when you arrived! Unfortunately weymouth isn’t what it used to be and its economy is currently shrinking. I’m glad you enjoyed the visit!

[@VisionsofChina]

I'm doing it backwards. I started watching from China (Cos I am in China right now) and watched to the end, now I've gotta watch from the UK to China. But hey its a great series and very inspirational. Well done Ed!

[@TriflingToad]

You good?

[@eastlos7090]

You should've filmed everyone who helped you along your way of this incredible journey......Nice job brother

[@nickwalter9630]

KZbin...not recommending this to me earlier (like 4 or 5 years ago) is an internet algo-crime.

[@mrmosk2011]

I watched your later series first. Compare to those, the shirt was a lot cleaner. Amazing journey and great videos.

[@Nairuulagch]

You've done great job man!!

[@caseysmith544]

I have watched the other parts Australia, NZ, and USA, now watching the rest.

[@ChrisPollitt]

Ed, you did it! Congrats!

[@lumbold]

Best Channel thx for this nice upload;-)

[@herbert9324]

You should get a wind noise cancellation thingy, I think you can pick them up for not very much on Amazon. Other than that, these are excellent videos. As a fellow unicyclist, I am both very pleased you thought of this, and disappointed that I didn't 🙂

I love how out of breath you are in these first few videos and how that changes over the years!

[@noelodwyer]

Video unavailable???

The selfie stick is yet to make an appearance!

Must be alot less time consuming having someone film abit I just watched you cross Latvia and film the whole thing by yourself

[@stephenvanniekerk6669]

Go Ed.

[@M3iscool]

You're really lucky that you can go on these amazing adventures. Even if I had the drive and perseverance, it would still be extremely inconvenient maybe even logistically and physically impossible, due to medical disadvantages. --And there are people much-much worse off than myself.

[@davidoppelt4067]

[@MrNamdevrane]

great job how many distance you are cover

[@theblakemontgomery3728]

Are you going to come to north and or South America?

[@olegmironov171]

What's wrong with France? The video is unavailable

[@TJStellmach]

I'm guessing a music licensing issue. There's a copyright claim on the song, and KZbin's deal with the license holder probably doesn't include all regions.

If it isn’t on Strava it didn’t happen

[@Marc_Fuchs_1985]

Damn, did he catch some good filming equipment on this whole trip, and also did he build up his editing skills on it too? Cause I have seen later episodes, no comparison. This here looks like some common, choppy material with bad audio and boring transitions any dummy could do, and later it's top produced and well planned material. I guess you learn fast, when working out this video material is one of the key elements you do every damn day for years. Makes me think though, he did it all with a Macbook Air (which doesn't even have active cooling). What would he have done, if the machine died on him through the trip?

[@Think-About-It]

you got to show us how you met those hosts
