Lachlan Morton's Kokopelli Adventure

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2020
  • The Kokopelli Trail is usually a 3-day feat from Moab, UT to Loma, CO. Lachlan Morton finished it in one and on his terms: pushing the limits on his bike without geting too wrapped up in setting the fastest time ever. But since he’s Lachlan, he ended up with the new record. Film by Thomas Woodson

      ​@Christy Dolan I think the views and comments are proof of how marketable Lachlan is, which in this commercialised world of sport is exactly how he can be of use to the team.
      The best thing about it is we can all enjoy it and you can watch videos of things that you enjoy. Rather than trying to fight with people on the internet.

    • @TO-un8nb
      @TO-un8nb 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Christy Dolan Somewhat ironic that you're telling me to get a dictionary whilst also unable to understand that being inspired is a subjective feeling - and therefore you have absolutely no right to tell people what is, and what isn't, inspiring.

    Cool vid as always. I do have a small request because I like knowing more than not, how did you handle fueling? The glimpse of the energy gels shoved in your shorts tells some, but really, how frequently did you fuel, what was your primary fuel, how did you clean the water you were drinking, etc? You're seriously making cycling fun to watch, at least for other cyclists. Watching a bunch of pros race is great too, but seeing a pro, do a weird/one-off event like this, and smile at the end of it, is enlightening.

    Said it before, I'll say it again "You can take the boy out of Port Macquarie, but you can't take Port Macquarie out of the boy." The surfie culture feels so ingrained in the guy and it's honestly fantastic! and Angus is about a step further, the two of them critiquing cycling mentality/culture I find myself adoring.
    An ability to recognise the bigger picture or not bog down into nth degree details.
    Impeccable timing he was/is with guys like Gaimon, Woods, Howes and Phinney who seem to have a similar grasp beyond purely 'results' (maybe that's a JV thing...? and Drapac, there's more to just: cycling)
    If this type of filming is an Angus thing, a 'hill to stake' so to speak, more power to him and I hope for more coverage and promotion of it as it's a good thing on the whole.
    Society feels bogged down on specificity, especially the medias, for Right/Wrong. There is a lo of ground in between. This feels again like another flick that states: Go out, enjoy, whatever happens you learn things if you're prepared to pay attention to everything (as much as possible).
    Old Man Morton hits me. "Never tell them when your feeling bad."
    My late uncle (cancer) was "Good as gold" for every 'How are you?'
