Lucas unaware that he's showing off one hell of a House 😂
yeah what the hell, he just keeps walking and the damn house just keeps going... that thing is HUGE!
Some sweet digs for sure
For real that view too... my back yard is a 711 and apartments 😅😅
He's flexing, cmon. Let's be real, I would too. He rides a bike well & has traveled, why not.
Dude I've been riding for over 30 years. I would never have the balls to do this. Seems like your too close and you can't see well enough in front of the truck. If he slams his brakes its a bad outcome for you. At 2:02 your way too close. No way your avoiding that if he slams his brakes on. Not at that speed. Be careful man
My thought is that a truck with a normal bumper, it would be contact at a few MPH difference. Lucas, like myself, rides disc and I can easily out brake a large truck. There isnt a danger of going under or anything like that. As for not being able to see, you have to trust that the driver doesnt want to hit shit either, which I why I hang behind the tires as it is an even lower chance that they would willingly run stuff over vs put unseen debris through the middle. You should try it... got my first 40mph for over a mile the other day, huge rush!
@@2far2drive Haha, you are funny. If you are directly behind and he slams the brake you already crash into it before your brain can tell your hand to brake. At 50mph you travel nearly 30 meters per second. Even with a 0.5 second reaction time you would slam into it :D
@@Freddy3792 just because your reaction is slow doesn't mean everyones is. With disc brakes you can stop with the best cars. A truck isn't going to be able to stop on a dime due to it's weight. A bicycle can
@@Wardawg- A bicycle can't stop instantly at 50mph. As I mentioned the problem is reaction time. Even if you have the best reaction time a human can have you will crash into the truck in case he does a full emergency brake. That's physics no matter which brakes you have. Is it likely a truck will do that? No, but if he does you're fucked, no matter your brakes or reaction time :D
@@Freddy3792 Im with you on the math but I still believe that depending on your location and bumper style, you wont go under, aka no real danger of being run over by a heavy vehicle. Since you are capable of handling the math, now you can see what I was suggesting, the actual speed you would make contact at should be very low thus further reducing the chance of injury from impact. The danger comes from you making contact with the vehicle and then wiping out on the road in less than ideal clothing. See Lucas's reply to my comment, he mentions he has hit the back of trucks plenty of times.
You need to do a video on your bike and build, Lucas. With all the miles you put on and everything you put your bike through I'm sure lots of us would love to know your thoughts.
Yes I do need to do a vid like that
Caught my first high speed, pure draft the other day, thanks to your inspiration. dump truck, slow roll and the next thing I know, Im being pulled along at 41mph with very little effort, 100w maybe. Held that for about a minute before I decided not to let my luck run out and jumped out. Most fun in the world! My question is, do you agree with my thinking that if you are drafting that close and you do make contact with the vehicle, the crash seriousness should be the result of falling, not impact? I see it as I would hit the back of the dump truck at just a few mph speed difference with little harm. Its contacting the road at 40mph that is going to suck but is much less dangerous.
Congrats man 40+MPH hellz yeah. Yes it's the fall on the road that would be serious which is why I always have my hands on my brakes with no slack in the brakes in case in need to slow quickly. I've plenty of times hit the back of a truck
@@lucasbrunelle this is such a good point-- I do this on descents but I need to adjust my brakes because they're a little far out and I always worry I won't be able to reach them! Damn short little fingers haha
@@lucasbrunelle The more I do it, the more I realize that you give great advice on how to be as safe as possible while having maximum fun. Things like picking safe drivers, knowing the road and what happens on that road, all of these decrease the likelihood of it going poorly by a large margin. You have an amazing skillset to quickly identify these things, thanks for sharing your tips!
Since you have limited (visibility and time reaction) being so close to the truck, don’t you worry about potholes or road kill?
Yes I do, it's a straight smooth road but a safer position than I held is to ride behind the wheels of the truck, it's not as aerodynamic but the truck will steer to avoid such hazards or you'll know when the truck hits said hazards
Is it safer to draft behind the wheels or in-between the wheels? LB seems to prefer between but that area seems like it would have more potential for harbouring large debris (assuming the truck driver would try to avoid running over such stuff with his tires)
It is safer to follow the wheels, bad habit I have because I didn't used to draft at such high speeds, the higher the speed the more draft you get even if on the wheels vs. centre
Maybe he's seen some scary accident once and never gotten back on the horse. I find most drivers who disapprove or even rage are basically just scared and trying to not have another panic attack
True that
@Parfootery the benefits far outweigh your ungrounded concerns. I grew up skating, and in a skateparks there's generally two kinds of people. People who live under the rule of fear. And then there's the regulars. You strike me as one that's sorry you are going to die.
Most people are.
Doesn't make sense, but when scared we all see threats in the shadows where there are none.
When people accuse me of riding like a madman in one of my videos, i normally ask them to oint to something specific. They always fail
@Parfootery benefits everyone. By not raping the climate. By not congesting traffic further. By breaking dogmas.
You may think it's self serving behaviour. But give me one example of any action ever done that wasn't self serving. Even suicide missions to save strangers is self serving, becausr you want to save them, and would hate to live with the regret. Egoist.
Now you're talking about taking other peoples time. Yet you complaik about bicycles drafting?
How is it not self serving of the lorry driver, to think his lousy slavelabour is worth more than riding a bike?
One guy is surviving, with no purpose in life.
Another is living, not caring whether he survives, doing work to make the worlf a better place by sharing information.
Skaters are horrible people. Do you know how much it costs to treat a broken leg?
And why? Just so a stupid little kid like you, can have fun.
Why are you on youtube? Are you seriously prioritizing writing these comments, over making your family happy, oe your neighbour, or one of the many homeless people. HOW DARE YOU 😆 curb your entitlement capiche. I dont care how its spelled. Just .... look at my 👌
And then go learn to ride you dimwit 😘
@Parfootery I'm into the idea of setting the record straight, when there's obviously some misunderstanding.
We have more in common than our mortality. Alot more. I don't wanna insinuate malevolence at each other with you for god knows how many comments, until we both have had enough and go about our business as usual.
The walls you build for self preservation, inevitably will become walls of self imprisonment.
Let's build bridges not walls. We can do this.
It's not a opinion thing. I believe we can all understand eachother if we respect eachother. See my video respektless mopedrider if you aren't clear about what the word re-spect really means. And if you want an idea about what i'm about
@Parfootery We're actually safer doing things like this than most people are riding normally
I'd love to see more vids of shit like this not working and your reaction to it. It's good to see how the pros handle things when they don't pan out as planned ;)
Will do
He’s no pro riding like that; and trying to get the driver to accept responsibility for his safety.
@@davyhaynes6716 You have zero knowledge of this
Lucas Brunelle since you do not know me, you have zero knowledge of what I do and do not know.
@@davyhaynes6716 Oh yeah, you're an anonymous keyboard warrior
Well, at least you held on for a good long time.. I would have dropped off, im only and old man Cat 4. My best skitch, was a water truck on PCH, heading north from Huntington Beach, about 31 mph for 6 miles. Next and best of all was the last mile home.. Gardening truck with a screen lift gate to roll off mowers, etc. It was raised and offered some wind protection, but I held on the way you showed, with the palm facing OUT, not locked like a fist inward. That was fun!!!
Lucas! Hello from Chicago, What are your thoughts on revealing yourself vs. staying hidden in a truck draft situation like this where the driver has no rear view only side view?
It depends on this situation, generally I can judge a driver fairly well and what they're going to do. I will reveal myself sometimes, if it's an odd truck like this one with a dangerous bumper
nice one! what's with the handlebar grip?
So that I can brake and/or jump quickly
carbon monoxide makes you pass out or and does it collect behind the car and soot and other bad gases
It can collect there, always a factor
@@lucasbrunelle yea l have been warned about that in the past like if a trunk is open it can get into car the exhaust and make you pass out
What was the top end speed on that ride?
50+MPH briefly
why do you have your phone mounted in addition to the computer?
Better street directions than Garmin, also music
are you using disc or rims brake???
disc
either way, if you're drafting close, leave no slack on the brakes
2:56 very important to fix the flag! ... it does looks dangerous from this angle... but you may know the road better than I do...
Why do you have one hand in the drops?
In case he needs to brake harder, i think.
Yep
@@lucasbrunelle So why not be in the drops with both hands?
@@lou_leem That's good for braking but less leverage to jump
@@lucasbrunelle Got it 👍
Lucas, какая максимальная скорость была у тебя за грузовиком?
50 миль в час
В наших широтах принято мерить km/h , но я тебя понял.
Is it possible to get a draft behind a sedan?
It is but considerably less wind blocking unless you're very close, at higher speeds it becomes even more effective and easier
how much speed was that?
50 mph I think is what he said.
Yep 50 mph
Going to be a few days before I try drafting again.
Just did mt humphreys az. Broke my e-bike. Also crashed coming off the mountain and bounced off the ground. Then I hiked it the next day. Yep I'm down for a few days now. Body is in s!th shape after all than.
Thumbs up = Get well soon and please be careful!
Yeah man, get better soon, I know that drill
That truck driver will not die last
Love the Rush kit.
Life goals. Being able to keep up with cars all day and going home to an awesome place 🤩
Some drivers think that you drafting them is unsafe, and will get you off their ass even if it kills you.
you can see the draft in Lucas flag
good decision to get off the truck
ride safe man
80% of drivers in Southern California when you Skitch or draft them
The same happened with me in hungary but not in high speed
Skitch?
Wanted to but only drafted on this fine day
Being an accomplished cyclists you're doing great without drafting. As the point of cycling is to be one with your bike against the environment. Seeing the scenery blurring as you cycle would be great too especially for us watching through your Go Pro all the time with you narrating as you usually do. Thanks for taking us on your escaped aboard your trusted steed around the world with other cyclist. You have done great Lucas and we appreciate it so much. Lastly,nice 🏡& even nicer 🏊♀️pool there
You're welcome, these words make me want to do more vids like this, yes the pool, I'm always swimming
The guy either owns a business or works for one, and the last thing he needs is some cyclist drafting him and potentially crashing and getting dragged into some kind of lawsuit or charged accident. Think about the other guy for a change
That's thinking about things kind of dark
Gotta love MA drivers!
To dangerous for me. If something would of happened and you would get hurt, we wouldn't be able to watch your videos. What a loss.
Thanx man
Your fun, but his liability, perhaps?
Perhaps not.
Wow I love your pool.
Ah haaa, so you had miserable driver as well! At least he didn’t slam his brakes on like my tractor driver the other day, so I guess you’ve got to respect his decision.
What bumper ?
Lol
Chasing a truck, the driver of which does not know that a cyclist is behind him, is a great folly. The truck has an air brake and can stop almost instantly. If you (the cyclist) cannot see the mirror of the car in front, then the driver of the car, does not see you too.
That truck does not have an air brake.
yea man....sometimes ya gotta regroup. ask Indian Larry...oh wait...you can't because he died after doing something he felt like he should pass on...RIP to all those that should have called it a day but didn't... beautiful view by the way.
Im just glad he didn't brake check you
Same same
Hi.
My opinion:if u want to draft,u can do it but u are wrong.it means u take a risk, that is a fact,and u have a wrong attitude cause u do not respect road code.And when u make bike, u expect vehicles to respect u,what u do not do when u draft.And u have To accept that some vehicles do not want to have a bike so close behind them. Whatever u say ,it is dangerous for many reasons. Doing this ,u make cyclist be less respected on the roads.u give the message that we take roads for a game. Making a lot of bike,i can not be ok with this attitude even if i understand the pleasure u have by doing this.code Road must be respected by everybody.Take care of u.
Anything is game on these fucking roads including death
@@lucasbrunelle i really prefer To see u Alive man.furthermore i have more doubts about errors other could do than errors u could do.some people, frightened , could make non normal actions.that is in fact the biggest risk.do not Choose the wrong vehicle u draft.here is the key...tchao man.regards from france.
@@fivestars4681 Thanx man, same, Alive is the real game, death is weak, I have seen so many crazy reactions to drafting and skitching
Worried something might fall out of the back and hurt you.
Always, always on my guard - hope for the best, plan for the worst
East coast drivers ALWAYS have a problem with it, I swear 🤪🤣
nice background Lucas.
the truck driver doesn't know what he was missing🙂( 10min of fame on yt channel)
yo awesome house, first time seeing it. maybe you can ride around on your bike inside and give us a tour lmao
Ok will do sometime
Your an honorable beast Lucas!
Great draft while it lasted...
Slam them brakes on trucker
Dangerous bicycling is an offence shame you didn't end up under it
Stay indoors keyboard warrior
@@lucasbrunelle stay in the bicyclists lane then
Hold onto the chain...👍
I am cyclist too, but started watching you few years ago just because of my local TV news:) Hello from Ukraine
Drivers tend to be scared of killing cyclists when they see them
Like the flag
You wanted to have a dialogue with the driver? Common sense tells you, well not you, that vehicles don't like to be drafted. I've done it but try not
to let the vehicle see me. And not having your fingers on the brakes just doesn't seem too smart , but you do you.
Then you're not around the right people
if you ride on the road you obey the laws ofd the road . simple as that. Drafting trucks is absolutely not okay.
Fuck Yeah.
