Who wouldn't like that? Alas I'm not a "professional" lunatic (just a normal run of the mill lunatic) Isn't professional lunatic an oxymoron anyway. My spokes are absolutely fine by the way and the wheel is extremely true. I'm just using twice reused tires that have both old sealant and tubes in them and been stored non folded and no amount of washing liquid water and pressure made them seat evenly (didn't expect to have to re use them but supply issues and me being broke af made me think again to keep them and then summer came and we actually got some sun for once) It's nice so many random people I've never met care about my boring arse though (Hello medical professionals, I know I'm your worst nightmare lol). Thanks guys :)
Hey Rich, that was an incredible effort! Well done pal! Listen, I want to purchase that same POC CORON AIR full face helmet from your channel sponsor, but correct sizing is tricky with full face helmets. Could you tell me your head circumference and the helmet size you wear for the POC CORON AIR? Thanks buddy!
I’d love to race the EWS but think I need to start a little smaller. This series has inspired me to get back into training to enter the Welsh Enduro Series in 2023 training has started all thanks to Riches efforts. 👍🏻👊🏻💥
@@Richard_Payne_GMBN thanks Bro, you made it look like an epic adventure from start to finish. I’m starting to find things out about my endurance I forgot I could do and how hard I can push myself. #mtbinspiration
Rich this series was some of the best content I’ve watched on GMBN! I loved how transparent you were about everything including the nerves and the lead up. Congrats! What a result.
Great job young man! I don't know if there is a classification for my age group other than - Not Quite Dead Yet, so the senior category is still puppy stage. Proves that you're still in great shape. Now all you need is a sponsor with deep pockets.
Brilliant - loved this. Well done Rich - absolutely super insight into how it really is to race EWS. Thanks for the huge effort and making a great show
I really enjoyed this series. Being a man approximately Rich's age, it really shows you what it would take to compete at a high level at all. His enthusiasm during the series was very good, even though I know it was very difficult at times.
As someone lacking the adrenaline gene who just likes twisty rides through the woods, it all looks absolutely mental to me. Kudos to you Rich, and the rest of the athletes pushing yourselves to be the very best at getting through that stuff quickly, your dedication is incredible and the rewards well earned.
I never comment on TH-cam but bloody well done Rich. Should be proud of that result. And also just the general training that I’m sure has helped on and off the bike. Well done again.
Well done Rich! Great series to watch and can‘t wait what‘s next. A chest mount would be a great addition so we could see the bar while riding! Cheers mate!
As someone who doesn't live in the mountains they are just a totally different beast. I can't imagine riding so much elevation. I'd die. Great job rich!
Love you, Rich. What a great series. Noticed you were wearing Dainese's MX protection rather than bike protection. Would love to see a comparison between the two and why you would choose one over the other.
Would you like to race in the EWS series? Let us know down below!👇
Maybe 20 years ago lol. Beyond my capability now mores the pity.
