This comment section is going to be toasty but JB… if you read this know that as someone who is new to the VC content, I’ve watched all of the impossible routes because of the combo of personalities present. They’re my favorite VC videos. You guys balance each other well and are very different people. It creates a really great theater for storytelling. VC, I hope that you talked to JB before posting this and reviewed what you talked about here with him… the fans in the comment section so far seem like they’re being negative towards JB and that’s not super fair to him. I don’t believe that was your intention but please be careful not to turn the audience against JB… You are an incredible story teller, and videographer. Both guys: I work with middle school students and I am constantly dealing with their drama… there’s a strange thing that when you spend too much time with someone you end up being in conflict by day two or three. Add in the exhaustion of your efforts and the fact that things didn’t go to plan conflict is inevitable. Just remember at the end of the day you, as people, matter so much more than the content produced and the money that is made.
Totally understand that, I was very careful with my “rant” and to not just vent 3 years of frustration on UA-cam. But the tension needed some reasoning and context, as for most of this series, I just looked like an asshole to JB. I’ve praised JB multiple times in this series and publicly and in private conversations. I’ve always made sure to give him as much of the light as possible and to never put him down. It did spill over a tiny bit in this but that to keep, was the story to be told. I love JB, I always will.
@@TheVCAdventures we love you VC! I started watching you right from the very start after getting disillusioned by durianrider. Never stopped watching, never missed an episode. Please keep doing videos! Cheers
I think they are awesome individually but I really just don't think they gel. Always feel like there's some friction and id much prefer if he was out riding with a buddy having sick adventures.
The dynamic would be lame if it was JB squared or VC squared. I fully expect things to be salty between the both of them because they are different and they spend a TON of time together. The differences between the accomplished racer and the accomplished vlogger are what make it interesting. Keep the dynamic duo going. Thanks @vc adventures for the honest inner monologue.
I could really sense the tension between you and JB in this mini series. I doubt he didn’t put effort into planning. Sometimes people give 80% thinking 80% is enough, and then come to find that didn’t cut it. It’s a learning experience. I’m sure next time he’ll approach it differently. Also it seems like you are an Uber competitive person, and JB being faster than you in most cases grinds your gears. I get frenemy vibes. I hope you guys work through that and keep making these films though!
you would not let that high five hang. the community loves you and you love the community. you exude the karma that you receive. awesome effort dude. what a class act. what an amazing story.
Send some love to JB. Having both of you experience these together is what makes it great content. Mini-sodes were great. I felt like I was watching the Tour this week.
What a fantastic mini series. Love the honesty. Let me tell you: you two are doing amazing stuff and we all enjoy your content because of you two. Of course everyone admires the " above average Joe/Tyler" but secretly we all want to be like Jeremiah (strong and skilled!). Can't wait for the daily vlog! 💚
Tyler, you probably don't remember, but you and I chatted for a minute at Sea Otter registration, both of us picking up our race (you)/ride (me) tags. Then, I really just wanted to thank you for the content over the years and get out of your hair, but you took a couple beats more to express how much the content you produce, and the community that supports you, mean to you. I was impressed by the kindness then. Now to hear all the $hiznit you were dealing with just to make it to the start line and still took the time!?!? Hero-level stuff!! Now back to work...
7 ep mini series is the best format. 20min every day makes me wanting more. Who has time for an hour vid? Now just add cliffhangers at the end. You could reedit old videos and release one part a day and I'd re-watch.
I was super unsure how this miniseries would go over. But I think it worked well. Easy though when it’s 7 days. Hard to break up a 1 day adventure, but we will do something like this again in the future.
Loved the short vids, to be honest. Sometimes it's hard to watch long ones (which I love, but then I have to find the perfect day and time to be able to). Sad this mini-series ended, but can't wait for the daily vlogs. Love the JB-VC duo! 🤘🏻 Hope that rant here was just part of the story and that all is good :) YHEEEEWG
Jeremiah's channel and the content he makes is also quite good on the whole. His role now is an ambassador for the sport as much as a competitive racer, and he does that at an elite level that only a handful of (retired) pros do. (e.g. Gaimon). I like the VCs voice and the character you create (via your editing, as explained here). But I honestly like Jeremiah's cinematic persona and voice too and will watch anything he posts.
This seven part series was the way to go. I really hope you guys make more of these. Spending as much time as you two do while riding as hard as you do makes for a stressed dynamic for sure, but that's the beauty of life. You can't always have thing go perfectly. In fact, nothing seldom goes as planned. It's how you handle the bumps life deals you. JB and you have an amazing thing going. Enjoy the ride fellahs.
JB just needs to accept that he's the better rider and he's the pro so he should be. More people can relate to VC as an a semi-regular dude which will drive the accolade. What JB does is impressive, just not as impressive as a regular guy doing the same thing.
Sad to hear Jables getting bummed out about not getting the love that you get. You guys are great together and it's wonderful to hear how important he is to you. I suppose it's hard to contextualise when you've been making all this amazing stuff together, but the thing is you have YEEEEEEEEEEEEEARS of content behind you and the community that you built with it - many of us are just more invested in your personal story because we've spent the time with it, seen you change over the years. I been watching since you were racing crits! CRITS, dude! Also, if you're "Mr. Shitshow" and JB is Captain Amazing, i'm gonna be more moved by your successes because i'm more familiar with your struggle. It might seem counterintuitive but perhaps in the future you could focus a bit more on what he finds hard? I hope he understands...and i know things get blown way out of proportion in the middle of huge rides like that, no one is their normal selves when fatigued and under pressure. I'm glad you squashed it, and hope you guys have a better time of it in the future! Much love to you both, as always! Yuh!
Great series. I feel for JB, based on what you said in this video, but I imagine he also knows that your following isn't based on how fast you ride your bike, but more the heart you put into everything you do. And JB should also realizes that he brings much more to the table than riding a bike fast. And hopefully he will become more comfortable with vulnerability and share more of himself as these videos continue.
Partnerships are tough and there are ebbs and flows. Music is great not because all instruments are playing in unison, it’s great because they’re playing different notes together, making harmony. Sometimes the best music includes dissonance, as long as it resolves in the end and it seems like you and JB did. Love the videos!
I enjoyed the mini series. Have loved all of the Impossible Route films. I also kind of miss the old VC vlogging though, watching you just ride the bike from home and going day by day. Type one fun.
This series has been my preride ritual for the last week. No matter how I feel before I press play, I'm ready to ride by the end. Thanks for making these. I'm all for the feature length, but like 10-20min has been perfect for eating breakfast to
Spending that much time together with physical and emotional stress is going to lead to intermittent rifts. That's human nature! He is a pro and you are a content creator, albeit one who is a supreme athlete, which is a great combination but deep down have different agendas. This is just a bump in the road. Love you both and love you both better together!
Love JB! He’s evolving as well from his partnership with Tyler. I can see he’s much better at communicating and vlogging now and it’s makes the videos even more awesome.
Regardless of how well you do, how difficult or impressive the riding is, my favorite vlogs are the ones where you and JB just really enjoy yourselves, so this was one of my favorites. Your narration is on point 👌
Actually really enjoyed it as the daily shorter videos. You and JB are awesome together and it’s a great dynamic. There is bound to be tension with this sort of thing once in a while, but I really hope to see you guys make more of these.
JB and Tyler forever ❤ you guys did the Death Valley impossible route and literally hiked your bike through cacti… kindred spirits after that. Tyler and JB SPEAK YOUR LIVES JB ESPECIALLY. . . You don’t get this tough and great without being interesting… i feel like we never scratched the surface of some epic origin stories. I bet you guys think about your life and how it shaped you a lot, especially on these long rides, people will get inspired by that, people can relate to that. JB not a lot of people can relate to being as great of cyclist as you, cause ain’t that many people that are great, but a lot of people can relate to a story. Also JB I know you would never complain about a thing, but speaking your life and emotion isn’t complaining when you do it with strength and courage.
I've been binge watching your videos with my girlfriend since 2 months back, I have already seen them all. You have converted her from not interesting to really interested in cycling 😊 So yesterday we bought her a road bike 💪🏻 you are awesome, your videos are amazing and your story telling is next level! With love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Absolutely enjoyed this one Tyler, was cool that you laid out the whole situation with Jeremiah, you could definitely see the tension mid trip. Stoked you guys worked it out and stayed buddies as you definitely have an odd couple thing that works on film so well. Congrats to Jeremiah on his result too! Gotta wonder if he would have been top 20 if he had fresh legs!
Really enjoyed the 7 part series ! I especially appreciated your honest commentary and take on "lifes obstacles and treating ither people right no matter what" at the end. Great work and hats off to both you and JB. Keep on smiling !
I've been thinking about this for a bit as it resonated with me. When I created a startup with some friends almost a decade ago - arguments over who did what and who said what would always come up, and sometimes they would really strain the relationship between us. What I've learned over the years of managing teams and companies is that trying to grind out work for an extended period of time is just not sustainable and almost always leads to burn out. The insidious thing about burnout is that you don't know you've hit it until you really hit it, and its super hard to recover. Sort of like mentally bonking. Whats going on here seems to be the result of grinding out such high quality content at such a prolific pace. At the end of the day - we as your audience are tuning in to watch you and here your story. We're not tuning in for the editing and slick production. I don't know what goes into doing all that - but maybe looking at ways of reducing that burden so the two of you can focus more on the adventure could help ease the feelings of minor resentment or anoyance. Those feelings, by the way, won't go away and will continuously build until the root cause is addressed.
Bro, never seen your videos before and the algorithm shows me day one on day one. Couldn’t wait for the next episode each day! Loved every minute of it. For you to say this series was a flop!?!? I can’t WAIT to go back and watch the ones that AREN’T flops! 😂 loved the series, thanks for sharing the wild ride. 👍
Really hope the impossible route series becomes a tv show. You and JB both deserve the credit. Don't be afraid to talk yourself up either. Takes courage to be vulnerable and u have lots of it
VC/JB, to follow-up on your delicate explanation near the end of the video, I think it’s important to note that you two are definitely not *doing the same thing*. Yeah, sure, you’re both riding bikes. But VC, you are also being a cycling ambassador through your social platform. That’s where the attention differential comes from. JB is the superior cyclist, sure, but that’s not what the attention economy demands in this context. From the comfort and protection of my couch over here, I feel like a mutual understanding of that difference should help smooth the way forward, assuming that’s the goal. I sure hope it is!
I have so much to say about this. I commented in an earlier video that JB seemed over it and the whole thing seemed awkward. So I appreciate the quasi explanation and sharing of some of the backstory at the same time wondering if it was appropriate. I’m going to echo other comments saying I hope you cleared this with JB before posting. He’s so reserved I’m surprised that he would be upset that he is not getting more “light.” It’s clear that he’s the elite athlete and that’s his part of this. You are the “personality” if you will. Like many these are my favorite videos of yours and I hope you guys can make it work.
Yeah man, I regret the rant, even though it was WILDLY toned down from what I felt. I got triggered by people saying I was being an ass to him and felt like I needed to defend myself. I should have just Swallowed it like I have for the past 3 years. Lesson learned for me, but that doesn’t negate the fact that what I said was true.
Thanks for all the insights about the relationship and creative process. Great series. Glad you two have figured out how to bro it out through when things get testy. I love the contrast between you two - we get all the colors of the Skittles rainbow!
Love your content, I have been following you for years but never comment. On the JB dynamic, I get his point, but this is not solely about riding if it was he would be the star. This is about human connection , entertainment, family and bikes. Unfortunately, he cannot match you there, and the quality of your work is inspiring and relatable. Can’t get enough of it. Either way, I think you both add a lot to each other.
Totally enjoyed the series. It’s a balance between racing and riding and that’s where the stories can be told. You each bring a different aspect to a video. Send him a mouth mount GoPro so he can get more video 🚴🏻
The two of you bring such a great dynamic to the show. So much better together than apart. It would be awesome to see more commentary from JB during his race but lets face it...he is competing and still has that killer instinct. Just come up with the smallest dual camera set up you can off the stem. One under the computer and one just out front of it pointing back to him. Gotta be something small enough to pull this off with a little 3d printing and a garmin mount. Then just let JB do behind the scenes commentary later. Anywho...love the show since Hawaii fellas and hope you both stay at it...TOGETHER. Yew!
That serries was fun to watch! I like to see the long journey. I always wonder how the route planning goes and what actually happends. Glad you guys survived getting through the beaver damn.
very nice trip, you gave the wish to do something like that in my old country : France. you're right when you said : "we don't need things to be perfect. just ride" thanks for sharing your trip
I like the impossible rides, just to experience the extreme, but this, for reasons that you know, may be as good, if not better. I'm 76, long time cyclist, had trouble with the age difference at first, but now I love these. Thanks.
I had a 91 YZ 125 as a teen. It had problems. Blew it up. Rebuilt the whole engine myself. Rear shock goes with the video blown. I put motor oil in it worked really well. To the point i didn't worry about getting it rebuilt.
You could sense the tension building up with JB the better and better VC got with his riding. JB needs to realize we watch this channel because VC is entertaining, and we like the dynamic between the two of them during these projects. JB should look at his own personality, character and video editing skills in the mirror and see the reason he doesn't have nearly as many subs as Tyler. We don't watch this channel because of Tyler's bike skills, we watch because he's a great storyteller, film maker, and even better person. Jeremiah is becoming more and more "get off my lawn" every video.
Love this ep. format! Gives me a reason to be excited just waiting for the next video coming up. Long videos are great; however, you watch them once and then you have to wait months to get more action from JB and VC but with this format we get just the ideal amount of dope cycling adventures day by day. Hope to see more of this! You guys have accomplished a very unic synergy and this will not be the same without both of you. I love to hear vegan excuses as much as I love to hear wise words from JB.
I'm always looking forward to the content that you provide. You're such an everyman, but you're doing exceptional things that we all wish we could get to do, that's why we love this stuff! Thank you, and keep on killing it!
Tyler, you are the reason I love your content. Not only are you the creative, but, you are the story. You. You personally are relatable, funny, neurotic as fuck (a good thing), and your personality is wonderful. I disagree with your thesis regarding JB. You essentially say, well, JB has the pro engine, he’s the X world class racer, so he should be the focus. This could not be furthest from the truth. No one cares about his pro engine. This is story telling and you are the interesting and exciting party to watch. Your journey in life is super inspiring. For example, the country turned against Armstrong, but in my opinion, he is more relevant now because Armstrong has a personality and is interesting to watch and listen too. It’s not because of his world class engine. Lance is a vibrant personality. Listen, just like bike racing, you either have it or you don’t. You either have a likable personality or you don’t. If you change the emphasis, you will lose support. We want to see you. Best to you both.
What I meant by that was there wasn’t some epic battle, it was kinda just… raw adventure. So as storytelling goes, not much happened and made it hard to find a hero arch. But I’m proud of how this all came out.
on a neutral perspective i think tyler seems like he's getting the "love" not because of the screen/narration time, it's because he's more "relatable" so to speak (tho he will definitely drop 99% of his viewers), whereas jb is in the immortal/pro echelon status already- which in our viewer brains are already placed on the best youtube cyclist characters category amongst phil gaimon, andrew feather, ed, etc. there's nothing wrong about it, it's just that we all know JB has nothing left to prove, he's a multiple champ. the amount of people who are also champs that can fully relate to him are under the mercy of diminishing returns. whereas tyler is still finding himself which the rest of us are also trying to achieve.
I think VC and JB get equal love and appreciation in a sense, but JB probably doesn’t hear it as much because his level of talent and accomplishments make him less approachable (my personal interactions with him have been nothing but amazing), but I would assume the average cyclists feels more comfortable talking to VC because even tho he too is an amazing cyclist, he’s consistently been describing himself as an average Joe and his content often invites us to interact with him. But I was able to spend more time with JB at Unbound than Tyler this year, and he in no way carries himself as a celebrity. Both great dudes, and I hope JB feels the love from all of us Impossible Route fans.
Bro!….Brrrooo!!! From one Tyler to another. I feel I understand how you feel. I again appreciate your hard work. And dream of crossing paths one day. Love you bro!! 💚🤙
Tyler self analysis and emotional intelligence/ synthesis is really great and a very good teacher, I know the bad bad stuff was hidden but still great maturity #inspired keep the Attenborough irritated voice too it's hilarious yall
This was the best impossible route to me! So funny and entertaining. And for once you seemed to actually enjoy yourself instead of being on the brink of death. 😂😂😂
@TheVCAdventures, do you have plans for a Patreon group, it would be great to show support for the hard work you guys do and perhaps there could be some cools insights. it really does make people feel good and inspired watching you guys.

@@TheVCAdventures thank you for being Human. We appreciate you!
You and JB are awesome individually, but even better together. I love the dynamic. Hope you guys do another project in the future
Yeah, very different personalities but together really good.
I hope they split and Tyler rotates some other talent in
I think they are awesome individually but I really just don't think they gel. Always feel like there's some friction and id much prefer if he was out riding with a buddy having sick adventures.

The difference between an adventure and an ordeal is attitude. Great job on a phenomenal attitude! You are leading by example 👍

I don't know what goes into doing all that - but maybe looking at ways of reducing that burden so the two of you can focus more on the adventure could help ease the feelings of minor resentment or anoyance. Those feelings, by the way, won't go away and will continuously build until the root cause is addressed.
Bro, never seen your videos before and the algorithm shows me day one on day one. Couldn’t wait for the next episode each day! Loved every minute of it. For you to say this series was a flop!?!? I can’t WAIT to go back and watch the ones that AREN’T flops! 😂 loved the series, thanks for sharing the wild ride. 👍
Really hope the impossible route series becomes a tv show. You and JB both deserve the credit. Don't be afraid to talk yourself up either. Takes courage to be vulnerable and u have lots of it
VC/JB, to follow-up on your delicate explanation near the end of the video, I think it’s important to note that you two are definitely not *doing the same thing*. Yeah, sure, you’re both riding bikes. But VC, you are also being a cycling ambassador through your social platform. That’s where the attention differential comes from. JB is the superior cyclist, sure, but that’s not what the attention economy demands in this context. From the comfort and protection of my couch over here, I feel like a mutual understanding of that difference should help smooth the way forward, assuming that’s the goal. I sure hope it is!
The wiiling are led by fate, the reluctant are dragged. Very Stoic this adventure. All we control is are reaction to events. Cheers, great series.
I have so much to say about this. I commented in an earlier video that JB seemed over it and the whole thing seemed awkward. So I appreciate the quasi explanation and sharing of some of the backstory at the same time wondering if it was appropriate. I’m going to echo other comments saying I hope you cleared this with JB before posting. He’s so reserved I’m surprised that he would be upset that he is not getting more “light.” It’s clear that he’s the elite athlete and that’s his part of this. You are the “personality” if you will. Like many these are my favorite videos of yours and I hope you guys can make it work.
Yeah man, I regret the rant, even though it was WILDLY toned down from what I felt. I got triggered by people saying I was being an ass to him and felt like I needed to defend myself. I should have just Swallowed it like I have for the past 3 years. Lesson learned for me, but that doesn’t negate the fact that what I said was true.
Thanks for all the insights about the relationship and creative process. Great series. Glad you two have figured out how to bro it out through when things get testy. I love the contrast between you two - we get all the colors of the Skittles rainbow!
Love your content, I have been following you for years but never comment. On the JB dynamic, I get his point, but this is not solely about riding if it was he would be the star. This is about human connection , entertainment, family and bikes. Unfortunately, he cannot match you there, and the quality of your work is inspiring and relatable. Can’t get enough of it. Either way, I think you both add a lot to each other.
Totally enjoyed the series. It’s a balance between racing and riding and that’s where the stories can be told. You each bring a different aspect to a video. Send him a mouth mount GoPro so he can get more video 🚴🏻
The two of you bring such a great dynamic to the show. So much better together than apart. It would be awesome to see more commentary from JB during his race but lets face it...he is competing and still has that killer instinct. Just come up with the smallest dual camera set up you can off the stem. One under the computer and one just out front of it pointing back to him. Gotta be something small enough to pull this off with a little 3d printing and a garmin mount. Then just let JB do behind the scenes commentary later. Anywho...love the show since Hawaii fellas and hope you both stay at it...TOGETHER. Yew!
That serries was fun to watch! I like to see the long journey. I always wonder how the route planning goes and what actually happends. Glad you guys survived getting through the beaver damn.
thanks for making this series man - i cant say it enough you attitude and honesty is a taste of fresh air...keep riding and as always yeeuuhh
Love the videos man. Great podcast on the Nero Show with Dillan and Jeff.
Great mini series, little bumps make you guys stronger and when it’s all done, bro’s for life!
very nice trip, you gave the wish to do something like that in my old country : France.
you're right when you said : "we don't need things to be perfect. just ride"
thanks for sharing your trip
I like the impossible rides, just to experience the extreme, but this, for reasons that you know, may be as good, if not better. I'm 76, long time cyclist, had trouble with the age difference at first, but now I love these. Thanks.
Please Tyler more collaborative more project with JB both so nature and awesome. Thanks both for great work❤👍🏻
Awesome as usual. The openness is heart-warming. Keep going with the amazing stories. I love the paint job on the new Canyon as well.
I had a 91 YZ 125 as a teen. It had problems. Blew it up. Rebuilt the whole engine myself. Rear shock goes with the video blown. I put motor oil in it worked really well. To the point i didn't worry about getting it rebuilt.
You could sense the tension building up with JB the better and better VC got with his riding. JB needs to realize we watch this channel because VC is entertaining, and we like the dynamic between the two of them during these projects. JB should look at his own personality, character and video editing skills in the mirror and see the reason he doesn't have nearly as many subs as Tyler. We don't watch this channel because of Tyler's bike skills, we watch because he's a great storyteller, film maker, and even better person. Jeremiah is becoming more and more "get off my lawn" every video.
I enjoyed the mini serries format it was fun and I’m looking forward to watching the rest of you December content and beyond
Just a home run from start to finish. The journey is so great… thanks for sharing!
Love this ep. format! Gives me a reason to be excited just waiting for the next video coming up. Long videos are great; however, you watch them once and then you have to wait months to get more action from JB and VC but with this format we get just the ideal amount of dope cycling adventures day by day. Hope to see more of this!
You guys have accomplished a very unic synergy and this will not be the same without both of you. I love to hear vegan excuses as much as I love to hear wise words from JB.
I'm always looking forward to the content that you provide. You're such an everyman, but you're doing exceptional things that we all wish we could get to do, that's why we love this stuff! Thank you, and keep on killing it!
Dude, I just love watching you and JB doing these awesome rides😍🏞 Safed my day!!!!! Keep going!!!!!
Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed this mini series 🤘
Loved the series, jeremiah isn’t one i would like to ride and vibe with… you are ther eal stuff vc! Keep it up, best channel! Cheers from
🇧🇷
Tyler, you are the reason I love your content. Not only are you the creative, but, you are the story. You. You personally are relatable, funny, neurotic as fuck (a good thing), and your personality is wonderful. I disagree with your thesis regarding JB. You essentially say, well, JB has the pro engine, he’s the X world class racer, so he should be the focus. This could not be furthest from the truth. No one cares about his pro engine. This is story telling and you are the interesting and exciting party to watch. Your journey in life is super inspiring. For example, the country turned against Armstrong, but in my opinion, he is more relevant now because Armstrong has a personality and is interesting to watch and listen too. It’s not because of his world class engine. Lance is a vibrant personality. Listen, just like bike racing, you either have it or you don’t. You either have a likable personality or you don’t. If you change the emphasis, you will lose support. We want to see you. Best to you both.
What a great adventure, well done, best of luck in 2024 !
Really enjoyed the mini series format! Keep up the partnership with JB, it works!
Loved this format, I was genuinely excited to watch each day. The dynamic you have when together is awesome.
Great series! Gotta love an epic adventure! Loved the Allan Watts at the end too!
Cracking series! Enjoyed it all. Was something to look forward to each day.
even though you mentioned it was a dud. I thought it was a SICK mini series! I enjoyed it
What I meant by that was there wasn’t some epic battle, it was kinda just… raw adventure. So as storytelling goes, not much happened and made it hard to find a hero arch. But I’m proud of how this all came out.
Stoked to have a mini series from you. Loved it!!!!
Def enjoyed the series! Thanks for all your and JB's work.
Another great series Tyler you and Jb are amazing riders and a wicked dynamic! Keep it up brother! 😊
Loved this series. Using the 80s movie music as a back ground was an epic choice.
on a neutral perspective i think tyler seems like he's getting the "love" not because of the screen/narration time, it's because he's more "relatable" so to speak (tho he will definitely drop 99% of his viewers), whereas jb is in the immortal/pro echelon status already- which in our viewer brains are already placed on the best youtube cyclist characters category amongst phil gaimon, andrew feather, ed, etc. there's nothing wrong about it, it's just that we all know JB has nothing left to prove, he's a multiple champ. the amount of people who are also champs that can fully relate to him are under the mercy of diminishing returns. whereas tyler is still finding himself which the rest of us are also trying to achieve.
The solo recap was spot on. Great stuff fellas. Think I’ll go listen to an Alan Watts lecture now.
Yall both inspire! Thank you for the content!
I think VC and JB get equal love and appreciation in a sense, but JB probably doesn’t hear it as much because his level of talent and accomplishments make him less approachable (my personal interactions with him have been nothing but amazing), but I would assume the average cyclists feels more comfortable talking to VC because even tho he too is an amazing cyclist, he’s consistently been describing himself as an average Joe and his content often invites us to interact with him. But I was able to spend more time with JB at Unbound than Tyler this year, and he in no way carries himself as a celebrity. Both great dudes, and I hope JB feels the love from all of us Impossible Route fans.
Inspiring me to plan a crazy trip myself!!! Loved the series bro thank you! +subscribed
Awesome series! Looking forward to the daily vlogs!
You two are inspirations in riding our bikes! Good job
What an amazing epic! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. :D
Plus. Your music choices are perfect.
Bro!….Brrrooo!!! From one Tyler to another. I feel I understand how you feel. I again appreciate your hard work. And dream of crossing paths one day. Love you bro!! 💚🤙
GO VC! Thanks, you and JB make an interesting and entertaining pair of cyclists.
Loved it all week. Very cool now get busy quit enjoying the down time
Tyler self analysis and emotional intelligence/ synthesis is really great and a very good teacher, I know the bad bad stuff was hidden but still great maturity #inspired keep the Attenborough irritated voice too it's hilarious yall
Alan Watt at the end cemented my judgment, just amazing 💚💪
UA-cam cut out the story as copyright infringement, which was a bummer, I love the full story.
Just perfect, as always 🤙
You guys are awesome! More impossible rides together. 👊🏽
This was the best impossible route to me! So funny and entertaining. And for once you seemed to actually enjoy yourself instead of being on the brink of death. 😂😂😂
You are an awesome storyteller and that’s why you get the love.
Hydro-locking the suspension is something you want to avoid usually but to use that as a means to lockout your rear shock is honestly damn genius.
Thanks for entertaining video series! Look forward to them. 😊😊
Another great one. Loved the series.
Really enjoyed this series , just found your channel 🤠
All I want for Christmas is more regular videos from VC!
Awesome ride you guys! Great story, yeah you guys experienced a great trip and life ha!
Really enjoyed this series. An epic trip with some great moments
Highly entertaining series! Thanks for puttin' it down, VC!
I didn't pick up on a lot of tension, but I assume most of it wasn't on camera? Anyway, glad you guys resolved it and are still buds. Great video!
Great W. Keep it up VC
Honestly I loved the mini series a lot and think it complements the full length shows
@TheVCAdventures, do you have plans for a Patreon group, it would be great to show support for the hard work you guys do and perhaps there could be some cools insights. it really does make people feel good and inspired watching you guys.
Amazing series, thanks 🙏🏽🔥
