    Nice. I have been following Ray’s great stuff since his blogger days when he would travel back to Seattle from DC and perform some amazing skiing, blasting down hills to see the speeds he and his brother could obtain, and then the same day drive back to Seattle, jump on his bike and do a long ride. One impressive athlete and human!

    Hi,
    Really amazing stuff, so, thanks first of all Matt because it was really great idea this interview! Mainly of course thanks Ray for opening his amazing world to us to viewers! I think most of us, and by us i mean the simple people that we love doing sports and we love sport watches and gudgets, i think we all started delve in to it by watchind Ray's channel.
    And of course over the years came Des, Dave, Matt, for these guys we feel like was really our friends! Is the friend to whom i want to show my new watch, or to discuss about that or to programme together the next running in our spare time.
    Simple as that! So thank you guys all! And thank you Ray for being pioneer to this field and doing these really interesting and pleasant stuff! Respect!

    Unbelievable. So he CAN talk normally. He chooses to talk fast in his videos, makes no sense.
    Many people have told him to talk slower but he won't listen. It's obviously a tactic to get people to think he's saying something very important.
    I used to think it was some kind of speech impediment, but no, he's doing that crap on purpose.

      He's probably trying to get the listener as much information in as short amount of time as possible. 🤷‍♂️ I've noticed it's a common trend on UA-cam. In fact, some comments on my channel complain about how slow I talk or suggest to others to watch on 2x speed. 😬
