    I have been thoroughly enjoying these past few videos; events like these are awesome because of the road tripping in between and having to deal with what the road throws at you. Makes fellers become extra crafty and inventive. I'm still hoping to be able to go to the US of A once all that travel malarky is sorted out so I can be with my lady and do a big ole route 66 road trip one day, but in the meanwhile, I'll be getting my fix from videos like these, so, thank you very much, mr Bieri, and keep on keeping on! 😊

    and people who were sponsored had a advantage, but just like you guy's if you need anything you got it, freindship went hand in hand with competition .
