- Episode 3, we get down and dirty in the desert. Just outside of Las Vegas, we meet up with former Tour De France Yellow Jersey winners Floyd Landis and David Zabriskie to talk about pro cycling both past & present, and learn about their new venture Floyd's of Leadville. This is one of the most fun and candid interviews we've done so far. Hope you enjoy!

About the Series: "Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, With Pros." The concept is simple, we wanted to get to know our favorite Pro cyclists and what better way to conduct a natural interview than on the bike, taking them out of their comfort zone just a bit by doing in with NO GEARS (and no brakes sometimes).

"They gave me all this grief in the news for cheating and winning. What about all the guys who cheated and lost..."
Classic! Landis is hilarious and seems to be in a good place. Makes me happy that that mess is behind him.
instaBlaster...
"one time I was in this bullshit race called Milan-San Remo" 😂
i lost my shit when I heard that while driving the car - so good!
Wow, that's some damn beautiful country.
The best part of this video is how much fun they are having riding. Isn't that what cycling is truly about anyway.
Dave's right about the hero's journey. The racing was the hell. Now, life is okay. You read Floyd's book and the the best part are the opening chapters, him growing up and discovering the bike, and a love of cycling. Great to see them try to recapture that.
Dave Zabriskie is the cycling version of Jeffrey Lebowski.
he will take this as the highest possible compliment.
I like Zabriskie, neither here not there on Lance, but screw Landis. Drug addict who doped and only wants money.
@@richardsonj96 You've got to be kidding... Armstrong actively sought to destroy the lives of everyone who crossed him, cf. the Andreus, calling Emma O'Reilly a whore, offering $300k to a former LeMond teammate to claim LeMond used EPO.. and you think Landis was WORSE?
The saddest part is that f---er is the one laughing all the way to the bank - and said so publically.
Great to see Floyd back on a bike. Hope you're doing well, buddy.
Holy shit.. that smooth tarmac.. I want to ride it!
Definitely a great ride! We posted the route in the description!
GDupon I rode it recently on holiday and yes mate, it’s an awesome ride. Velvet roads(one way) and beautiful scenery.
I've done that ride in 112 degrees - I train in thousand oaks every year on a fixed met them there one year - very down to earth guys. I asked them where they were staying and Dave said in his car. I answered really me too!!! I never thought I would see them on a track bike especially on that climb.
Purely awesome! Great Episode!!!
Great nice to see the lads enjoying cycling freedom.
You should try to get some of Mash SF to come on the show or maybe even some members of team specialized rocket espresso
YES IT'S HERE
more please! this is awesome!
Out of nothing I remembered this series and thought: "Man, haven't seen ‘Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, With Pros.‘ in a while" , got to the search bar and boom! "12 minutes ago" video!
these are getting freekin' great guys..keep goingbig ups tp dave, Floyd, yall, bikes, and the power of cbd
That was great. Really liking these keep it up
Heroes indeed. Great work as always!
thanks Adam!

Simply awesome
Great show!
I liked this video before I even watched it. Literally THAT great 👍🏻
This was awesome
so effin rad. Used to ride that several times a week, but not fixed!
Haven’t laughed that hard in a while! Thanks!
This series or whatever it may be is so great!
Fantastic video, genius music selection
A lot of bonding with this video... I've ridden that ride and it's a bucket list ride for all... so beautiful... Floyd and Dave... two amazing cyclists who deserve much more credit and accolades than they appear to accept. Both are champions and should be recognized as such. yes there was a long dark period in cycling and it likely continues but that doesnt mean these two worked any less or rode any less committed than any other cyclist in any period. Cheers to you Dave and Floyd. You have fans!!!
holy shit this was good
10:20 is so satisfying! what a great interview =)
This is the first promoted/advertised post on reddit that I ever enjoyed and I really fucking enjoyed it.
They get better as they go!
This is great
good stuff
love the scenery of rock canyon
awesome!
wow this was great
Appreciate the love!
Floyd has a ton of charisma. Come to think of it, all those drugged up Americans are pretty charming guys.
This is like the best thing I've watched on youtube
Meeeen, this one is the greatest of all times riding fixed, up mountains, with (x) pros....
I’m a fixie rider and these rides are crazy lmao I do hills too but this is next level
I fuggin love this series
we fuggin love that you fuggin love the series!
My day has officially been made. Can't wait for the next one!
wow.. nice!
2 great champions.....
Lol... best thing of 2018 so far! This show was awesome.
Thanks !
loving this series. keep it up. visit Marin
Guys, this video is soooo good that it should only be available on prescription! Had a bad day at the office and need to feel better and smile? Just watch this video. I’ve watched it a few times now and it always cracks me up. Mr. Landis is a legend of comedy. Seriously State, please keep ‘em coming. Life is far more enjoyable with your productions. 👍👏
🙏glad this cheered you up! Thanks for watching
Floyd's ladder PTSD was my favorite part. : D
Floyd "I'm not gonna do it to take all those risks to help someone else win? Especially when that someone else is.....well ever mind."
LOL I think we all know who he was talking about
This almost persuades me to try fixed. But Imma need some of whatever's in Floyd's bottle first. Seriously, fun video.
Champion in Malaysia competition. Wow. Congrats from Malaysia
So much easier to understand why you'd dope when you aren't a sociopath and a total prick. Always liked Floyd, brilliant video!
I'm so glad that others turn into big kids when riding with friends, attacking for no reason and starting a little race!
Brutal
This is freedom.
This is awesome - gotta do more stuff with Dave and Floyd
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Hoping to do a 4/20 special with them :D
What gear ratio are u guys running up those mountains?
You know what would be great? Gears!!!
I think this video has done more good for Floyd's image than anything
Great movie, thanks! What gearing- does anybody know?
I believe Dave and Floyd were running our stock gearing at 48x16
love this
How do you guys film this
Nice to see this side of Floyd. Funny guy not like a clown though.
I like how the roads does not contain any humps unlike mine where evry 10 meters or so you gonna see one.
I only watch these series because of the geologic structures and rocks. This one was by far the most impressive!
HAHA - what types of rocks would you like to see next time?
State Bicycle Co. something vulcanic would be nice. Like the cascades or hawaii
Consider it done. Just a hint for the next one.. ZION!
Freaking killer video, keep em coming...oh and have you heard of gears? They are this thing invented recently.
but that takes away all of the fun ;)
lollllll "that can't be right"
9:10 Is that a one-way road or do you just get thrills from approaching blind brows on the wrong side of the road?
One way road.
That’s a relief. Thanks.
did that honda bring you a helmet?
i enjoyed this entirely to much
In Ultimate we call it "Spirit of the Game" and in Freestyle "Spirit of the Jam".
You guys are alright
Is Floyd a role model or a roll model?
Deuterated Dad very underrated comment
DZ still the man
Given the lashing admitted dopers get in the media it's nice to see some frank discussion with them. I'm sure they still have a passion for the bike. To be ostracized by society from that had to be difficult. Not to say it wasn't warranted to some degree. But I think we come down too hard on athletes caught cheating. They're paying the bills on a far riskier job than us.
The Landis comment that opens the video has always been my argument, it was essentially a level playing field
As a matter of fact those eights years of The Tour record no winners because everyone was at it.
I’d venture that if Lance and Floyd weren’t Americans that nothing would’ve been blown out that far. But that is just my opinion
doesn't Zabriskie saying that Floyd really went for it contradict you. Yes most of them cheated, but to different degrees. Not a level playing field.
In talking with Floyd and watching countless documentaries and films like "The Program" - it's clear to see there was a culture and expectation for GC riders who wanted to be at the top to go "all in" on these programs. By no means do we condone what he did, but its easy to see why riders did it at that time. As Floyd says in the video - these riders train their whole life to reach a certain level, then when they get there things aren't as they seem. At that point riders have sacrificed far too much to turn back. Talking to Floyd put a lot of things in perspective and overall things aren't as black and white as they may seem. Phil Gaimon touched on this also during our interview.
Yeah, turning the sport into a competition of who has the best doctors, the best medicine, the largest doping budget, the strongest connections into the sport's corruption etc and telling young kids who come to the sport that they have to play that game, "a level-playing field".
How simplistic can our thinking be when we want to find excuses.
They were all cheating somehow, but it wasn't totally level. Doping is and always has been an arms race, everyone does it in a different way.
State Bicycle Co. Absolutely disgusting to defend any of them, do you apply this mentality to any of your own factory riders? Im sure you do, theyve worked too hard to not cheat according to you. Drugs actually are black and white, you either put a banned substance in your body or you didnt.
why does dave have a periodic southern accent
Sam Sanders 😂😂😂
Why would you climb with wide bars like that?
broccoli Sneeze leverage and they’re comfy
Hilarious
daves glasses????
Riding fixed up mountains? Are you nuts?!!?!? Someone loves torture... Poor Floyd, riding fixed AND with no clipless pedals??? You need to get Tyler Hamilton for an upcoming show... I wish you were doing this show for a year already, then I'd have more to watch...
the d generation x fucked me up
this was the only time Floyd Landis has appeared funny or likable ever
Hahah
Why the fuck are pro cyclists criticized so much for doping? Steroids and whatever other kind of performance drugs are massive in the NFL but everyone turns a blind eye. Hypocrisy!!
Wait, do you mean those rookie running backs who put on 20 lbs of muscle in 3 months aren't natural?
I guess there's too much money on the line from advertisers/sponsors that makes a lot of other sports sweep it under the carpet. It would ruin some sports totally.
This seemed like a pitty ride with two victims of Armstrong era pro-cycling.
"in this bullshit race called Milan-San Remo" priceless
