Six Corners Challenge - a 450km ultra distance ride
My hardest challenge to date, we faced some dreadful weather and I tackled the longest ride I've ever done. Bit of a longer video but I felt like it needed to be! Hope you enjoy me fighting with my mind

Wakamarina from home
มุมมอง 1.5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Bit of a last minute decision to head out for a mission on a Saturday, ticking off an idea on my list which was to ride the Wakamarina trail from my home in Richmond. Epic day out, very trying at times but felt awesome to get it done. Chaaaahooo Thanks to my sponsors: Vittoria Tires Magicshine Eyewear Sinter Brake Pads KMC Chains

Full gas Cyclocross racing - Rabbit Island NZ
มุมมอง 1Kปีที่แล้ว
I was lucky enough to have my personal media crew (aka Scotty and Paddles) come along to the 3rd round of Nelson's Cyclocross series and help film some bits along with my GoPro footage to make a race vid! It was a good battle for the top 3 and an awesome day

DOWN-COUNTRY RACING
มุมมอง 106ปีที่แล้ว
My race runs from Round 4 of the 2022 Super D series on my Rocky Mountain Element. Burped the air out of my tyre on the first stage so the overall race wasn't to be but gave Stage 2 a good nudge, fun times!

2021 Rocky Mountain Altitude C70 - First Ride
Jesus. That's insane. I've done a couple of 330 km rides, and a couple of 275 km ones. But always in the summer, NEVER in the cold and rain. One of the 330km rides was done at the height of summer in 30 degree heat and relentless sun, which absolutely wrecked me. So I don't know what's worse.....that or cold and rain. Bloody well done!
@Markhypnosis1 thanks mate! Yeah it was pretty bloody miserable at times but at least I didn't have to worry much about hydration and cramps etc, that would definitely be a problem with doing a hot one, those sound like some epic rides!
Bloody hell, that’s a crazy ride at the best of times, let alone in the weather you got. How did the other guys go?
@streddaz one guy set a new fkt by nearly 2 hours in 20hr20 😳 Joe and Rufus decided to call it quits after having raced Silk Road pretty recently, others did finish but I'm not sure of times etc
@ wow that’s a huge improvement on the fkt! So, considering how bad the weather was, there’s more in that.😉
yea that's a massive ride. Good effort. It's really useful to see the tracks cheers.
@rikinamua4112 thanks mate!
Legend! "It's unfathomable... I mean I'm going to do it" I'll bet that warm shower hit like crazy
@@josiahlangstaff2999 hahah bro was talking gibberish, fuck yeah it did coulda fallen asleep in there
Dude that's an epic mission ..well done
@@aaronbensemann2880 cheers mate!
well done, great music who was the band after the nerves
@georgefairweathermoonlight4 glad you appreciated it, I'm impressed you recognised the nerves! Next song was Mannequin by Wire
@@seamusodonnell7642 that Nerves albums a ripper, sorry i mean the song when ya leaving ta kaka, a bit ska ish n synthy possibly maybe a kiwi band,....... ive got punk roots!
@georgefairweathermoonlight4 ahh that makes sense I thought you would probably know the Wire song...you are correct it's a kiwi band, The Primmers - You're gonna get done 👌 love that song
@@seamusodonnell7642 sweet chairs, aint heard of them but will be diggin them today,.... have you heard the band Death ?very early US punk cool doco on th e utube about them.
Inspirational mate! As in you’ve inspired me to never do it. Very impressive achievement and much respect to you. First time I’ve ever commented on a you tube video !

@SeanMatier 😂 wow that is an achievement! Thank you for the kind words
Epic adventure dude! Congratulations on finishing that one, totally brutal. Your best video yet 👍
@tomscott1246 hey thanks Tom I appreciate that!
Thanks a lot - we've scheduled to do the Wakamarina Track on our next holiday in NZ so its great to see it beforehand!
@wombatbreath wonderful! Such a great day in the NZ back country, hopefully it's dry for you 👌
Respect man!!
@@alwilson3548 thanks man!
This video blows my mind. Riding at 3am, exhausted, in pitch black, rain in your face, and still you have the stones to shine a bright light in your eyes so you can film yourself while riding down the road. Mad respect!
@st963746 thank you, I'm so glad you appreciate that! It was definitely a nuisance to do 😂
Dude.. Insane, yet inspiring stuff. Congrats though, you can be proud of yourself!
Thanks bro I appreciate it!
Nice video. Enjoy watching yr ride
Thanks mate 😊
Ducking nuts bro. legend
Thanks brooo ❤
Bloody Kudos legend
Cheers mate 😊
Well played Seamus, to be sure man, you nailed it.
@@brendanford4850 cheers mate!
Your a true 1 percenter ,you've just proved you can do anything you want, incredible effort ❤
@grantodonnell2218 thanks old fella ❤️
Well done Seamus that was a great vid and an amazing effort in those conditions but it will only make you stronger for your next adventure witch I will look forward to watching 👏
Thanks Paul, I think you're right there, proved to myself that in fact you don't actually melt in the rain! Though I must've been close 😂
Skitz mish!
@@dougalshepherd1761 couldn't have put it better myself
Fought the demons, fought the rain, fought the body. Legend mate.
@benbonoma2187 my man 👊 thanks Ben 😊
One for you Ben?
Great vid and even better ride, congrats man! Catch you at the next one
@joe.nation cheers maate, looking forward to it!
So cool to see this video. I wasn't sure if you'd make one or even if you'd have taken along your go pro. Thanks for sharing. Makes what you did even more impressive when we get to see your suffering! 🤣 So what was the final calorie count ? When Id seen your strava entry I was wondering just how much food you'd have had to have managed to gob down to keep going. Alex.
@yoeddynz gotta show the suffering 😂 that is a great question and I wouldn't have a scooby what the calorie count was, was a fair amount of carbs earlier on but turned to more savory stuff as the day went on and I got sick of sugar
I'd be plotting a course for every cafe on route that had decent steak and cheese pies etc.
Chapeau Sir, that was on epic ride and a great video too 🙂i see you smashed Jo and Rufus! and nearly got the FKT! Next stop tour divide? Thanks for sharing.
@andrewmason4040 thanks mate appreciate it! Haha those 2 are built different for showing up to this less than a month after Silk Road 😂 Tour Divide is on the list at some point for sure!
I'm so impressed by your positively, even when the chips were down, you still knew you would make. Inspiring
@bradrichards6085 gee thanks man! Appreciate that a lot, doesn't always feel like I have the most positive mindset with this stuff but I had a good day mentally
Well done!! What an epic feat. That weather was diabolical.
@funkyjamutube thanks mate! Yeah it was awful, never ridden in rain for anywhere near that long
Absolute madness.. Well done!!
@@JamesNZCH cheers James 😊
Yeah, that was the best video I've seen this year. Thanks for sharing the journey.
@willtaylor5739 wow that is some statement, that means a lot! Thanks Will😊
I think I got lapped 9 times in this race, and I only managed 4 laps lol
@bradrichards6085 haha happens to the best of us, I got lapped at nationals lol
Great videos
@bradrichards6085 cheers mate 😊
Did you come up the Onamalutu Valley?
@@andrewshepherd3019 yep, Onamalutu and Kiwi road
Let’s get the show on the road baby. 😊
What the ibis dv9?
@@taynebirss1949 picked her up in America 😎 just trying to be like you
What aero bars are you using there?
@johnnste1 profile design, they are alloy with a 35deg rise from memory, and I run 50mm spacers underneath them for comfort on longer missions 😊
Big Shaz, you are crazy. Sincerely Riley 🤙🏻
@rileybeldham3953 hahaa thanks man 👊
Awesome mate
@@nathankarsten7552 cheers bro
Another big ride Seamus I enjoyed watching that keep up the good work 👍
Cheers Paul, appreciate it 😊
Love it when the algorithm serves me up some Seadog! Helluva an effort. Ibis looks good on you
The algorithm loves some Seamonkey 😂 thanks maan
Hi Seamus. Hugh challenge. I noticed You wearing a evoc racing vest. I've been tossing up between this and the Apidura one. How do you find riding with the Evoc. Greg
@waka89446 yeah I've found the evoc pack pretty good, really like the magnetic drink hose clasp and all the storage for snacks in the chest pockets
great vid thank you
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Epic
@@mattgillan8857 cheers man
Huge effort mate, well done!!
@@dingascorner9967 cheers mate, appreciate it!
Great video, fantastic soundtrack, two completely unrelated questions...1/ How do you get permission to use the copyrighted music? 2/ What size tires did you use?
@hectorhazard904 the copyrighted music is allowed to be on TH-cam, I just can't make any money off the video (not that I get enough views to monetize videos anyway) and I run Vittoria Terreno Dry 47mm, however for this course I would happily go wider
Great music! It really takes me back to some good times.
@@A_SingleSpeeder can't beat that Era! Glad it could help with some reminiscing haha
banger video seamus. and congrats to cameron and finn on their performance at unbound!
Thank you! And I'll pass it on, is this someone I know? Hard to tell from the TH-cam account haha
@@seamusodonnell7642 just a rando, following along on youtube and strava 😅
Cracking music choice for the vid
Cheers Jim, picking the music is probably my favourite part of making them haha
Good job bro...
Thanks man 😊
