Our week takes an unexpected turn when our efforts to renew our visas fail. We must make a mad dash to civilization or risk being in the Philippines illegally. Because no matter how far away we sail, or how remote the destination, bureaucracy is the one thing we cannot escape.
And, rather than take the easy route, we decided to turn the whole inconvenience into a challenge.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Things We're Most Curious About...
GETTING OFF-GRID
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
TALKING TO STRANGERS
People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.
Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.
ALTERNATIVE LIVING
These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Doh, in the beginning I said 34 square meters but that was supposed to be KILOMETERS. Big difference. 🤦🏻♀️ I’ll blame it on the heat.☀️

Yes, indeed. Giving up passports can be nerve wrecking. All things considered, I think you did the right thing. Better mitigate risks doing what's within our control. Happy sailing!
Maybe explain to those backwards mob that live under Canadia what that actually means😅
I laughed when I heard you say that and then backed up a few seconds to see if there was a text comment correcting the very obvious mistake! Nope, but I cannot believe anyone accepted the 34 sq m description....
No problem. You had a long bike adventure behind you and it's perfectly understandable. I was just pointing it out without any ill intent. Hence the smiling Emojis. I did not mean to get everyone so wound up over a simple error correction but as you probably know all to well and I should have realized, this is the Internet and people get so wound up over the little things. BTW I am an American living in Europe (so I use metric but think in Imperial) and honestly don't care if one uses one measuring system over another. Keep up the great videos and I look forward to you getting your Passports back! 😀
34 km2 doesn't make sense, much bigger reefs in Western Australia, Solomon's, Tonga, Fiji. Who knows.
Those bikes are awesome but as cyclists my husband and I wanted to let you know that if you both raised your saddles you’d find cycling so much more comfortable & you’d put much less pressure through your knees 😊
Sound advice. Adjust the seat height so the toes on both feet can just reach the ground when you are seated, then the legs should almost straighten out on each down stroke. This gives maximum power for minimum effort.
Trying to ride with knees bent is inefficient and tiring. Edit: Not nearly so important for e-bikes, but still relevant on an all day ride.
Thank goodness I looked for a comment like this before before I wrote exactly the same thing!
It would make an enormous difference to their stamina/distance traveled... However, I have seen it on other fold away bikes and I suspect that the seat tube doesn't allow for more height ... I don't know.
But, Nikki and Jason, raise your seat height as high as you can. The ideal would be something like you sitting at a junction/at a standstill with just your tippy-toes on the ground, and heels up. For the same effort of cycling I am certain that you will go twice as far! Just like @jaygee5693 said
Quick addendum - I scanned down the comments and found that at least the following said the same
@TWROC96
@miaraymond100
@jebbarr2763
@jpdj2715
@billnettleton5922
Probably more ...
@@Neilhuny Yeah well, when there are so many comments, you can only scroll down so far before deciding whether or not to offer an opinion. At least Jason and Nikki are guaranteed now to get the message, and with a few minor variations possibly to consider. Eg, some competitive cyclists like to have the toes of only one foot reaching the ground, so their leg is almost straight when at the lowest rotation point, whereas the almost universally endorsed "toes of both feet on the ground" rule does result in a slight bend at the knee.
If the end result is that in future they can e-cycle all day (with no recent training or practice), without unnecessarily over-taxing either their endurance or their knees, then all the repetition (nagging!?) was for the good. Certainly good for their algorithm too.
@@jaygee5693 it was only because I was amused by how many had the same idea that I looked
You two crack me up. Adventure. Misadventure. Whatever it is there is always such a genuine sweetness about life. You are my favs. ❤️❤️
That's dedication. Being THAT tired at the end of your marathon ride, but still you make one extra trek up and down the step to set the camera and retrieve it. You could just have said no, we're tired, don't bother. Thank you, dudes, for all the work you put in: it is appreciated.
The 'marathon ride' on a $2500. E-bike should have been effortless ! Ouch !
Love the Wynns.They face life good or bad with smiles.👍
With everyone waving and saying hi along the route, I'm calling this the Tour de Friends.
The way you love any adventure, misadventure 😂 and each other is the best ❤❤
"An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered." - Chesterton
Who said, "It sounded like a good idea at the moment" ? (referring to them taking their bikes :) )
You might consider getting an extra battery of both sizes. That would give each of you a big battery and a small backup battery for long trips and emergencies.
Great video.
My apologies if you get this comment a bunch. Seat height on a bike will help increase your pedal efficiency and might even help with knee pain.
The general rule of thumb is if you can pedal with your heel on the pedal, then you are at the right height to pedal using the regular part of your foot. This leaves a little bit of bend in the knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
Also if you remove your seat posts to store the bikes, it is common to wrap a piece of black electrical tape where the seat post enters the frame to mark the height.
Yes, I would have said exactly the same.
Taping the seat post won’t work on our e-bikes as we lower the seats to the ground when folding them for transporting them in our van. Wish we could!
@@Shelbourneworld You can use marker.
Or you can get a Brompton which comes with a seatpost height limiting insert. Trim it for your desired height when you install it, and then you just raise the seatpost until it stops.
Thanks for letting us come along.
"OH !!! I look like a GIANT !! giggle ! love it Jason ! I always enjoy your adventures!
🌞⛵️🌴
I like the way you appreciate each other as you always complement each other for jobs well done. Those efforts contribute to a good marriage 😊.
And the best part of your boat is after a long day like that you can shower, relax, cook a meal at home, and sleep in Your Bed!!!! While tough, it looked like you had a good day!
We took a family mountain bike ride the other day after not doing so in about a year. We didn't bring enough water, and my body was screaming, "Your out of shape lady!" My husband and I decided to hold back on drinking water and let the kids have the bulk of it. It was a MISERABLE bike ride. That one little thing can change the whole experience for sure. Now we are investing in water backpacks for us and our kids. It's amazing how fast you can dehydrate.
Please be careful with grammar. BIIIIG difference between "you're out of shape, lady" and "your out of shape lady" lol
@@TheGlitchyCorgi - Thanks for the laugh !
I spent 3 months + in P.I. 50 years ago. (Subic, USN) Your video reminded me so much of why I Love, love, love the Filipino's. They are so friendly. The definition of friendly and amiable! The world would be a better place if other cultures emulated.
I am so happy to see that has not changed at all as they slowed down to greet you as they passed you on the bikes. Also, the variety of vehicles they use and how many souls fit on each. Just remarkable how imaginative they can be.
Lympia, I love it! One of my favorite foods.
The 7000 P.I. islands have countless gorgeous beaches. Clear waters and coral reefs, and warm waters. And talented musicians performing in so many places. Loved it!
Thanks for bringing up those memories.
One of my favorite books as a child was called "Go slow, stop often". It was a Disney book and when the group took Goofy's jalopy that broke down frequently, the kids chased butterflies and caught frogs and had a grand time, but when they took Mickey's nice car, they sat in the back, bored. The point to enjoy the journey has always stuck with me.
Jason had a little thrill with his battery life and then the relief of it making it. Had you taken a car, you would not have known the pleasure of the first taste of that cold beer and you would have missed the snacks with the view. You may not have even had your little picnic at the airport. You also would not have really gotten to see the island as well and certainly not have experienced the friendliness of the locals in the same way. It would have been an errand and not an adventure.
Thank you for sharing your lovely little adventure!
Love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was looking for a book called that and did not see any. Could it have been a different title? I think I remember that book... :)
@@chantalmathews56 Ha! I stand corrected! "Walt Disney's Mickey and His Friends. 8 Fun Time Stories" "Go Slow, Stop Often" was one of the stories within the book. Too funny that I didn't remember that there were other stories in the book! 😁
I was watching a nautistyles video, and there was some shout from the marina,. Victoria goes, "thats nikki wynn."
Nikki shouts, "i love your channel."
So cool!
🤣 at ON YOUR LEFT! That was the name of our bike team when we rode the MS150! 😁
Loved the video. Jason was complaining about his knees. After watching him ride, I was not surprised. His seat was way too low putting unnecessary strain on his knees. If you all plan to do more bike riding, I would highly recommend getting fit properly on your bikes. I also recommended on the steeper slopes to work on using a faster cadence with a lower gear. Happy to help with more if you want.
Yep
absolutely correct
Niki looks great even at 5am...go girl, have fun!
It’s so fun to see you guys enjoy each other. You are a great team and it’s a joy to have a peek into your adventures.
A little suffering enables grander adventures .
When I began my year of cycling, I could not make it from work up the 400 foot hill to my home. Even with 27 gears, on my new road racing (entry level) bicycle, I had to hop off and walk. Three months in, however, I was cranking up the hill in 14th gear so hard I stretched two factory Shimano chains in two months before I upgraded to aftermarket hardened chains and sprockets (still have them, no stretch).
One Saturday, I decided to ride to a not-so-close town where I knew of an excellent restaurant. After a great repast and an outdoor nap, I rode back. 54 miles (87 km) round trip. It was then that I knew all those days of hard work riding to and from work as hard as I could had paid off. Conditioning really does require at least three days a week of hard 20 min exercise.
But you two - my hats off to you! No cycling trips in a year and you pulled it off! Please share how you felt over the next two days. 🤣
Back on the boat is "Home, sweet home."
When you guys sat down for those lattes I thought, "Oh man, they look tired."
Been following y'all for a long time, one day I think I'll be able to become a Patreon. At my old age y'all bring joy and memories from my past, only was in the Philippines for R&R during Vietnam and you are so on point y'all about the absolute friendliest people!
Love y'all from Texas ❤️
I was tired half way through the ride. What an endeavor!
Nikki, your annunciation and structuring of the English language is excellent. You guys have unique personalities that simply draw your viewers in. Keep the adventure flowing. Thank you both.
Notwithstanding that she is Texan.😉
Jason, raise your seat so that your knees are not cramped up and you get more power with each push on the peddle. 😉🙂
My wife and I love watching your videos...thank you for sharing the incredible life and adventure that you two live...it's made this 50 year old man feel alive. ❤
My Grandfather was a Bremudian house painter and road his motor bike to work everyday, complete with paint cans and his ladder hanging of the handle bars.
I will never understand why so many countries have such a massive problem with people coming to spend foreignly earned money in local businesses on local products. Its almost like they hate money or something.
I feel for Jason!!! I have had the same experience with my E bike running out of battery with still 8 miles to go home. Everyone says well just pedal it the rest of the way but unlike Jason and NIkki's bikes mine is a hefty 80 lbs with no extra luggage. Throw an electric bike pump a big lock, thieves love to snatch E-bikes and cheap locks won't do, the total is closer to 90 lbs! Not an easy pedal home for 8 miles.
Congratulations on reaching 600000!!! After all these years, still always excited to see your Sunday video......
"forced adventure" is my new favorite travel phrase
"No coffee. No greens. No nothing." What a start to a crazy adventure... 🤣😂 I had fun.
💓 - god I love the layout of the new boat.
The contrast between me watching while riding my recumbent bike that goes nowhere and your ride is the very definition of living vicariously. Cheers!
I’m over here having a Dutch Bros coconut latte feeling like I’m a part of the celebration at the end! 😂
Oh my gosh, you guys that was quite a bike ride. Bureaucratic red tape is the worst. However, I didn’t realize it was so bad for you guys or sailors in general. Thank you for taking us along. You didn’t know we were going to ride on the back, your bike did you, no wonder you’re so tired. Love you both stay safe and we’ll see you on the next one. 😎💜🤟🏻⛵️💕🇺🇸
So happy to see the return of video adventures on boat again. Thanks for sharing the world with us. Last year checked off 2 New countries.....now onto more. Peace to you both and gratitude.
You two always go above and beyond what needs to be done and still have fun!! Glad you got to take a beer and lumpia break on the way back. Love your can do spirit. Thank you for taking us along on your many adventures.
THAT was a bike ride! Hope you weren't too stiff the next day! Epic photography, loved the people and the traditional hut too. Thanks!
Sunday morning with the Wynns, perfect 😊
You guys are such amazing story tellers! Even a boring bike ride is exciting to watch.
😂 Jason admiring his Gigantism and nearly getting smacked in the face by a branch 🤭
Best high production quality travel vloggers on youtube. another kino/10 vid. cheers
You are truly the best mix of adventurous and crazy! Thanks for sharing!
0:54 We can see our catamaran, which is anchored at Black Island.😄
OMGOSH!! I was tired 1/2 way just watching you!! WOW - what a day you had! ❤️❤️
Imagine cruising 40 years ago: no GPS, no internet, no cell phone, no e-bikes, no solar cells, no air conditioning. Same bureaucracy.
I wasn't cruising on a boat then, but imagine taking your car on a 2400 km trip (one way) just for a holiday and crossing two borders. From the middle of Germany to southern Spain and back (after three weeks). That was in 1979 - I was 25 years old. GPS what's that? Internet? Air conditionig in a VW Bug? Good maps and a lot of confidence is what we had. And an total engine breakdown on the way home. Good and bad memories are what keeps you alive. That's what Nikki and Jason share with us. Thanks a lot!
@@gustavusviadolphus8377 My wife has never been able to navigate a map so I always had to write down every intersection for her to read to me, or stop and look at maps myself until our son was 10, and then he did the navigation and the wife sat in the back.
I'm old enough to remember just driving with a glove box full of paper maps and every misturn resulted in long detours and looking for somewhere to pull over and figure out where you are and how to recover.
The next revelation was being able to get routing by public transit, bike, and foot. Amazing.
Now if only there could be global consolidation of all that cross border paperwork for seamless global travel...
Greed has taken over the world!
@@vonheise well, that's what we in Germany call: you loose your way on a postal stamp.😂
Watching the bikes on the stairs trips I feel obliged to mention that is where a ratchet strap shines. Over the opposite shoulder and under the bike (or other load), not having to grip and only guide the load is so much easier. Well worth the 100g in a pocket.
VIDEOGRAPHY!!!!!!!! Upside: tremendous viewer experience. Downside: “I’m getting too old for this crap.” LOLOLOL Nearly spit out my rum on rocks. You guys put so much into these videos setting up the shots and editing. It is so very enjoyable and appreciated. Thank you!!!! Your boat looks fantastic and we’re looking forward to watching Nikki in the kitchen and getting an on sail view of cockpit and instrumentation.
You two are beginning again. It's the start for a return and beyond what you were able to do prior. Keep at it, you are resiliently strong.
- Everything is easier after a difficult workout 💪
- L for Jason with the small battery 😂
- 1440p please guys! HDTV is the only way to watch GWTW! 👍
The last 3 minutes....perfection! Lovely day and iced coffee.
So glad I built my eBike to run on throttle. No pedaling for this 81 year old. Kudos to you both for that trip.
Their bikes retail for $2500.00 ? plus ! I got a Segway E110A 'scooter' for $2k 'out the door' a few months ago. No pedals. Looks a bit like a . It will go a long way (35 miles est.) but has already given me 10 miles for 400 watt-hours (400 watt re-charge) on a 1440 watt-hour battery. IF they had 're-gen' capability on those pesky 'Carbo' bikes they should have been able to recover significant energy/charge on the down-hills. Am disappointed with their lack of planning ( water ) etc. But then I am an arm-chair quarterback in my 'hobby-room' at home.
Same here, no pedaling for this 73 year old . . . unless I pull out the pedal-only bike from the garage! That has not happened lately since I have a walking routine. Am curious what e-bike you chose ? ? You 'built' it ? ?
take care, rh
Making my first coffee of the day and enjoying your bike ride. Seriously you are the couple who even exhausted still manage to be so fashionable. Nikki, loving your often coordinated clothes choice in sync with the beautiful boat color you chose for Curiosity 2. You have inspired me to totally pare down my wardrobe so thank you !!!
Hope you have gotten your passports and extended visa back in your hands. Smooth sailing💖
The thing with bicycles, is the more you ride the easier it is to ride.
Awe!! He generously gave you the bigger battery. ❤
You kids are amazing! As for the government “Red Tape”, it just shows that you cannot really depend upon the “cyber” method for handling it! Thank goodness for those great e-bikes! I look forward to each of your postings so much. Stay safe and healthy!
Cycling - the rule of thumb for saddle height is that it needs to be a bit higher than your in-seam. At and angle in your knee and other joints, your muscles and tendons lose essential power - in the angle (you know how to decompose into vectors?)
Second, if you can adjust your gear-ratio, go to a pedalling tempo of at least 80 RPM as the higher RPM are easier than the low ones you show in the video.
Saddle height to the pedal that is
You have my empathy... yesterday was moving day for me and my 32' class A... and where I left had turned to this clay mud that glued itself to your shoes.. ... break the camp drive an hour, spend an hour with bosses, stop and 4 different places to stock up, drive another hour and arrive at my camp host location for the summer, wedge the RV into the best spot, deploy stuff.... have hot shower and go.to.bed! Wait 'til you get to 65!!! :D ( oh, and this is all your fault... I started watching a sailing channel, then backtracked to an RV channel.... and here I am!... pthbtbt )
To be honest to make that kind of trip with the wrong size bike for you legs and arriving with those smiles on you faces is all of the review you need.
I’m glad the dogs stayed in place!
Wow, you guys,really push your physical limits! Glad to see everything worked out. Remember to take extra water..Enjoyed your continuing adventure…Also, what a bonus to come back home to your beautiful sail boat!
Tip on the bikes. If you can, adjust the seatpost when you need to carry them so that you can hook the nose of the seat over your shoulder and steady it with your hand on that side.
Also you might liok to see if you can get a smaller front sproket and a lager rear. It will drop your flat ground speed, but will make hills much easier.
That was a HARD day!! Wow, what a ride.
You guys are awesome. been watching for over 6 years now. And I love my AG
That was an ambitious adventure. I hope all the documents find their way back to you. I enjoyed following along. You deserve some down time after that ride. Great sound and camera work!!❤
😂you two crack me up. Like two kids on those bikes, especially the downhills. You definitely ain't old!!! Keep it up. 😅😅😅
😂😂 well that was an adventure….. Couple more of those and you will be ready for a Triathlon… G_d bless you both.
Good Morning, our favorite creators, a cup of coffee….. most excellent!!
Your saddles are too low - that's why your knees hurt. adjust the seat to low point of the peddle stroke not to touching the ground with your feet. When climbing a hill, gear down and spin your peddles don't strain in a high gear. Your bike quit on you during the hill climb because you drew enough power to run the battery voltage below it's lower limit cut-off. A good ebike, like yours, has a low voltage protection circuit that kills power to protect the battery. Get the big battery!
Good points 🏍️💕
Carbo sells two versions of this bike - one with gears and one with a single speed belt drive. The latter is really best for city commuters who are riding on the flat. If you are going to be tackling hills you should really get the geared version.
@@svkimbara5829 indeed, also a mid drive allows you to put the electric assist to the proper gear. When they reviewed these bikes and I saw them single speed I imagined exactly the issue they ran into. If you're on flat you really don't even need assistance and if you want to cross mountains you need gears. This ebike space is continually evolving, I'd like to see a mid drive / belt drive with gears in the hub.
How cool! I remember years ago a similar adventure having to walk miles to get fuel. When we got back to your yacht it was way out in the bay after the tide came in. But of course these adventures while taxing at the time give you memories that stay with you. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your channel are such a blessing.
We used to have very official looking stamps on our forms, they were useless but Port Officials loved them 😄⛵
Hate to tell you this… this day was coming attractions of how you will feel in 20 years😂…. But your ARE enjoying it now! Keep it up, you’re doing great ENJOYING LIFE!
Can I say, I also LOVE my AG1. I am on month 2 and it's what I crave first even before my coffee or tea fix. Thanks for turning me onto it. I'm vegan and this really helps me meet micros when I am visiting food deserts.
The scene where your carrying the bikes down and your both tired I thought (“you got to come back up and grab the camera!, your getting to old for this shit..”)…..and BANG took the words out of your mouth 😂😂
Those bikes are to give you so much freedom and pleasure. Ps. Curiosity II is a beauty. You can see your experiences globetrotting and sailing is paying off, making the right desisions…
I am house bound with a bad knee at the moment. I felt every turn of your pedals. Tell your knees ty at every chance you get :-)
Just came back to the US after a year in the Philippines. You haven't lived bureaucracy until you've tried to survive it in the Philippines.
Try something as simple and as common as taking a vehicle from one island to the next. You're not going anywhere until you make the requisite visits to multiple government offices. This is to verify you're not stealing a vehicle and taking it to another island, I get it.
Heaven forbid your ferry canceled for one reason or another....all that paperwork you did has to be redone..... each and every time you try to take that trip.
During typhoon season, you can do it three or four days in a row.....same vehicle, same people, same government offices, same point of origin, same ferry, same destination, rinse and repeat.....after you pay fees each time..... until you finally give up and say the trip's not worth it.
Ahhh, the ebike thing. My wife and I started off with small "light" (55lbs with battery) Blix Vika Folders and they had 40 miles of range and 500 watts power. We quickly decided that range/power wasn't sufficient for our use case which was 40+plus mile rides.We now have dual battery bikes with 60+ mile range but they are 70 lbs and not folding so useless on a boat. We don't have a boat and use a hitch bike rack on our BEV/SUV so the bikes are a great addition for our vacation travel and home use.
Considering the marine environment making the non-carbon fibre parts rust up fast, limited range and their lack of off road capability, you may want to consider selling or trading them off. Also, belt drive is great but they look like single speed ers (no gears) so hills will always be an issue. I'm afraid it's one of those great sounding ideas (urban commuter) that lacks real world utility.
What a great video, you guys finally got your travel adventures really started by that incredible workout. I love hearing Nikki climbing the hill whispering "you got it you got it" after passing the Dragon fruit farm.
Thank You. Beautiful. Wow!! Dang that was one heck of a workout!
34 square metres... That is a pretty small reef!
Jason, Niki...
You folks are AMAZING!!
Those bikes got put to the test lol! Also when Jason started to retort with "Well I gave you the bigger battery because...." I was like quit wile you're ahead man....😂😂
Yay, my Sunday is complete now 😄
34 square meters? That's a third the size of my apartment. Did you mean 34 square kilometers? 😀
She American they are not taught metric 😂 she miss placed the decimal point. Love ya Nicki
amricans and the metric system😂
@@LIL-RED-BIRD I am American and was taught metric. However she is from Texas. LOL. 🤣
Slip up - the Great Barrier Reef is 344,400 square kilometres.
To put that in context that’s bigger than say Finland or Norway or Italy.
The Apo Reef is the second largest reef in the Phillipines NOT the world.
But great video none the less …
A limited number of United States citizens are familiar with the metric system. The majority of the population either lacks knowledge of it, expresses no interest in learning it, or actively disregards its existence.
Yall made my legs sore & I'm kicked back in my recliner. Those hills were brutal looking😮. Now you can check that one off your bucket list.
As an e-biker, nothing beats carbo loading with beer !!!!!
🍻👍
Yeah! Another video!
I don’t even want to ask how your tushes are! Good for you for tackling this! ❤❤
Get toe clips for the bikes! Cheap, and make all the difference! Thanks for continuing to smile!
in some ways, one of your best videos; taped hurt finger, hill fatigue, heat and all. So appreciate your sticktoitiveness and respect for the country and support for each other.
My wife is from the PI so we are loving these episodes.
I have written a few times, but would like to take this opportunity to
write again to suggest acquiring an underwater drone. It would be nice
to see from time to time some footage of what is right beneath your feet.
This would also be a helpful tool for inspecting the hull or props, as well as
making for safe night dive videos via ROV. I can also picture a fish's view
from under the water surface of the two of you relaxing way up on deck.
If you give it a name it could be your robot crewmember LOL
Love all your shows, been with you for years and years!!!
Steve
You may even get to see inside of a big fish, The drones are great and there is always the chance of loosing one, we are realy spoiled with amaziing photogriphy these days.well worth the risk.
The more I see AG1 getting plugged across the various channels I watch, the more I despise it.
Your bike seats were far too low. You'd have found it much easier with them at the right height. Also your battery range would've been better too. A good way to get the right height is that with the saddle under you, and a straight leg, your heel should be on the pedal. Then when you put the ball of your foot on the pedal to use normally your leg bend will be correct.
Also, Jason's battery cut out at the top of the hill because of voltage sag due to being under high load going up the hill. Voltage recovers over a few minutes, which is why he was able to continue.
Really, for hilly terrain, you need crank drive ebikes, so the motors take advantage of the gearing, not just the rider.
When I am riding my bike and I come upon a long hill and I want to quit, I think of Debo and what he would say. "Stop being a b!tch and come on!" It always gets me to the top. I just ordered some AG1 with your link. Thanks for that. Love your videos and wish I was in the situation to do what you do.
With a very limited amount of time, wouldn’t the wise decision be to have hired a car? Self inflicted stress!
Sure, but isn’t more fun to watch them break a sweat hehe
Or a driver?
