We Raced London's Biggest Hill Climb (it went very wrong...)

[@MyLouTube]

Soooo much fun. Glad you enjoyed the burgers! 💖🍔🤠

so what's the deal with the plush 🧸 🍔 ?

6:43 😂 that guy taking a leak in the background is a classic moment

[@platypushatstand]

He was ‘relieved’ to be there…

[@JeremyDawesJezweb]

Wiz with a view

[@dbasnett]

I’m in tears laughing. This is so freaking funny

[@davidcharnes3623]

Good job boys coming up with a way to get a nice video out despite a big technical setback, the audio.

[@JustRobV]

UP UP UP, you're ALMOST halfway! LOL That was a GREAT time!

[@MyLouTube]

Rob the Hooligan! 😍🤠😍

[@AnvilAirsoftTV]

Lived in Dartmouth Park when I was a nipper very near the bottom of swains lane. Used to ride my MTB up it on a regular basis to get to West Heath to ride some trails. Funny seeing it again. Plus when I was really little my parents made us walk up it so they could go to the pub at the top. Left outside with a bottle of Coke and a packet of crisps…! 😂

[@Nachosrlz]

You lost the audio and somehow managed to make this video fun af ❤

[@cb6866]

Thanks Francis and Jimmi , Harry is insane ! I hope you are feeling better , concussion protocol followed !

[@lesflynn4455]

I've had an equally punishing fall off the back of a Cannondale supersix ten years ago. It was very painful, as I landed straight on my cocycx. I was off work for a bit, had to get scans which showed some semi nasty stuff as I'm not young. Overall it was very unpleasant and took about 2 years to recover from. Back injuries are highly ill advised. Avoid them, if at all possible. You only get one spine. When it's fucked, that's it.

[@scottmcrobb6937]

The disgust on that guy's face in the background as you were playing badminton 😂😂

[@matshreeve]

Big fun on Norf London’s biggest hill ⛰️Great to catch up as always Francis, meet Emily and Jimmi too, and glad you pulled through after the Wheelie incident. Me, the girls and all the plushies onboard whitnessed that firsthand from the eCargo at the top…just no footage 🎥. We do have that earlier trial run at the start line 5:18 😅 on the Gimbal cam as we’re lined up behind you, but not the smash 🤕 “Reset! Do it again!?” 😂

[@paulobrien4794]

Such a fun day, and nice to briefly chat with Francis and to cheer on Jimmy!

[@judeackland-patel6646]

I live just round the corner from Swains, it's my local hill rep fav, so cool seeing you guys there!!!

[@Wandelation]

That's the Decathlon where I bought my first gravel bike (mainly from having been watching your videos)

[@andrewschirmer3849]

A fun watch despite the fails!

[@TimR123]

LOL. That is one of the weirdest videos y’all have done. But a great recovery from disasters and fun.

[@nickc4716]

Fixed gear on my (detoured) commute with full office clothes, shoes, laptop etc two years ago. I wasn’t quick, but was irrationally pleased to manage to grind my up it.

[@fredsirvalo1904]

Take care of yourself, Francis. I hope your recovery is going well. Cheers!

[@crankandsprints]

Goal for next year Swains Lane? Be in Cade's thumbnail, one way or another 🤣💪 Van Rysel RCR 🔥

[@jonkepko9217]

You should try the hill climb challenge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. That’s a challenge.

[@91dave]

The cheeseburger thing is definitely an Alison Jackson "thing" since last year at least. She got handed one halfway up the Tourmalet in the 2023 Tour De France Femmes and this year she put out a social media call to get one handed to her up the Alpe d'Huez. Evidently @MyLouTube was more than happy to oblige! I can only imagine that Lou's thinking was to be wearing bright pink (same as EF's kit) so Alison would spot her?

[@Boopop1024]

I've already cycled my Hase Pino semi-recumbent electric assist tandem bike up Swains Lane - I did it the same day the two of you were there 😉

[@aspenwagon04]

Francis was so proud of himself for yelling almost half way. SO proud.

[@KerenWang]

Is this the new format of videos: "Faff up of the month"?

[@a1white]

Tbh it was probably for best you got an Uber back. Francis, by the sounds of it may well have had concussion

[@lason999]

This van rysel is sick. Even though the one Jimmi was riding was RCR (not pro). Trust me, I've got one. You can even see there is no Pro in the logo on the top tube ;) the bike is epic regardless ;)

[@lauig]

I reckon one of those ridiculous Moser pre-lugano charter hour-record track bikes with the smaller front-wheel would be perfect to tackle such a steep climb, just need to change the gearing by a few teeth, and we're all set. (Ok, maybe over a dozen, alright.)

[@oliverbrunt1]

If you’re after funky bikes - try and find the video of the guy riding his ‘sideways’ bike in Berlin. The guy is literally sat sideways on this insane custom rig.

[@L̐̔-z9k]

I rarely comment but this is a very well put together video

[@BrawndoDrinker]

Full downhill bike is the worst thing I've ridden uphill, would be brutal in a race.

[@jamielyons3554]

Opinions on the van rysel helmet ?

[@Ekisel]

I feel comfortable in mine. Not very pretty

[@paulawright6868]

Even when it goes wrong, it goes so right. 😂😂😂

[@benhaywood2510]

Love this event - just 10mins from my house. Missed it this time round though! :( Edited for clarity: I love WATCHING it.

[@derekkeith108]

What a terrible time to lose audio, looks like best vid in months!

[@DealWithTheDevil.]

I'm hoping we get bike checks/weight check of the bikes from the hill climb.

[@airman8368]

Thought I've never met him, my impression is that the scoot bike is more Fancis' size than Jimmy's.

[@sjanzeir]

Just like the lady @03:03, I'd love to ride my upgraded Dahon Hemingway up a paved hillclimb. What I'd really love to do, though, is try out my full-suspension Dahon Jetstream up a _gravel_ hillclimb (which I probably won't be able to finish. And I'll possibly end up lying on my back on an evac gurney. Or worse. 😁)

[@musclelessfitness2045]

Jimmy lied about the head-butt ... it was a friendly one lol

[@anthonylloyd6094]

I'd like to see Andrew Feather at this event. I saw the GCN vid of him monstering Cheddar Gorge on a Brompton.

[@malcontent_1]

Definite concussion. 😕 When you fell off the bike I bet your jaw was slack & our teeth crashed together. (My decades of playing & coaching hockey taught me that mouthguards are for pretecting your brain, not your teeth.)

[@Halsemus]

Great video!

[@chrisl6382]

Does anyone remember the kind of winter gloves they talked about less winter from Amazon? I can’t remember and need a pair.

[@JanneRasanen2]

I have no idea about what they used but Northwave alpha winter gloves work for cold hands to freezing point so lower for many. Alpha was made for US special forces in arctic conditions laying down for hours then sprinting. No wonder the material was a secret for 15 years

[@pimbeweegt]

that RCR with the ZIPPS what a ripping deal and a ripping machine

[@RubbishGimpy]

I was in that shop last Thursday.

[@matthewshaw3747]

Great idea to have multiple categories.

Well done for salvaging something from this silent footage 😅

[@JenCaldwell-y4y]

Pixie bike hill climb! bring it on! unmodified and modified races...

[@earlmagsino3356]

Wise words from Ollie 🤣

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

Why do you always go for small or extra small with Decathlon bikes? According to Decathlon, you should both be ok with medium. Is Decathlon sizing off by that much?

[@kalayoRO]

the bike is too long even for XS - 383 reach

[@bike_rider-k2h]

My medium Emonda has the same reach haha, true pro spec.

[@MariusBert]

Awesome stuff 🤣

[@gopewalker6371]

Craziest, weirdest most obscure bike to do the hill climb on? Surely it's got to be any frame with that campag calf rubbing groupset on it 😬 Looked like a great day out!

[@AlbertBuckinghamEllison]

Balance bikes only hillclimb.

[@BlueKnows]

Release the footage of the wheely at the top 😅 Maybe leave the wheelies to the professionals from now on? 😂

[@rosa__lux692]

This is exactly what would happen to me if I started a KZbin channel

Francis lands his arse and shows symptoms of concussion. There are some serious anatomical discrepancies that need explanation.

Are decathlon paying their mechanics minimum wage? I've heard rumours.

[@timobrien256]

What? No lactate testing between climbs….you need to step it up to keep up with the other KZbinrs:-)

[@anotherscandinavian]

Should be a rider + doggo category. That whippet probably would've won.
