  • On a quest to ride the Baja Divide as a group, I was joining the trip with a fear in mind that I didn't want to confess out loud to the rest. This made me realize that most likely everyone else was joining the adventure with their own concerns or personal goals, so I asked them to privately confess them to the camera before summarizing a chapter of the trip. Join us on our journey through Baja California, through the highs and the lows. Welcome to the confession chair.

    You really have a knack for this. I stumbled across your channel after your solo bike packing video got recommended to me. Great story telling and videography.

    I love this concept of the confessional! You all were very honest and genuine. It was a cool perspective to listen to. I enjoy how you all decided together and adapted. The flexibility with the journey goes along way! It’s great to see that you all took care of one another and honored eachother when changes or rest needed to occur

    Fantastic idea for a bikepacking film! Cycling in a group of friends is not as easy as we can imagine but you dealt with it perfectly :)

      It tests everyone’s patience, for sure! But was was a bigger challenge this time was the route. Baja Divide is no joke! 🥵

    Really enjoyed this video, what a nice concept you thought of:) It's cool to see all the perspectives and great to hear that with the personalisations everything came together in the end! 😊

    • @BelleToscan
      @BelleToscan  Рік тому +1

      So happy everyone was in with this cause they really didn’t know what I was going to ask them for in front of the camera. It was indeed a rough journey but we were able to navigate the circumstances and make it to La Paz!

    Muy buen vídeo Belén! Nos ha gustado mucho la diversidad en los testimonios y como cada uno explica cada sección desde su punto de vista. Muy bonitos paisajes y sí, se ve que os hizo mucho calor y hasta sed hemos pasado viendo cómo pedaleabais!

    • @BelleToscan
      @BelleToscan  Рік тому

      Hizo un calor horrible hacia el final del viaje y eso que solamente estábamos en los primeros días de marzo. Pero en el momento en el salieron las vívoras... Nos lo tomamos como señal para acelerar hacia el final. Es una ruta super interesante y que creo que depende mucho de las circunstancias de cada uno en ese momento. Si planeáis hacerla en el futuro... ¡evitad la temporada de mayor calor!

    Hi Belle, would you still recommend the tout terrain outback? Can i also ask how tall you are? because I'm currently trying to decide on the size :) thanks for the video!

    • @BelleToscan
      @BelleToscan  Рік тому

      I can TOTALLY recommend the Outback. The bikes is a beast and a great fit for travel/off road adventures. I am 1.57m and have a size S. Tristan is 1.89m and has an XL frame.

    Genial! impresionante experiencia, me gustan muchos tus videos, me transmiten mucha libertad a demás de las muchas imágenes pintoresca del paisaje, gracia infinitas por hacer esta clase de contenido. en el minuto 7:44 se pierden los subtítulos en español en el momento exacto donde habla becky.

    • @BelleToscan
      @BelleToscan  Рік тому

      Hola Juan David, me alegra que te gusten mis videos. ¡Y me alegra saber que usas los subtítulos! Los escribo yo a mano pero es mucho trabajo y como no tenía claro si alguien les daba uso o no... Pues en este video se quedaron a medio camino. ¡Intentaré terminarlos o completarlos en el siguiente! =)

      Hahaha, yeah! It's always hard to document those moments but the job gets easier when it's someone else getting sick. =)
