There is so much "perfect" going on in the imagery I almost can't stand it 😍 his hair, the woods, fire, food, music and then the snow at the end! Lovely.
Benedict is the man! Definitely a big influence on bringing adventure biking to the forefront of cycling. Great video plus the black metal sound track? Frickin awesome!
@@G-man45444 That's so trendy. It's supposed to be some band from the depths of Europe with less than 5 fans that you can listen alone while you cycle through the woods.
This guy looks so young, yet his hairs are grey. I think it's a testament that this type of lifestyle keeps you young, that is not the face of a stressed man. Unreal! ❤
Metal and cycling fit perfect together! I listen to stuff like that and love it. THANK GOD IT IS A BIT WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT TO THOSE 1000S OTHERS OF VIDEOS.
I like this simple life, you don't have to think about anything else, that you wake up in the morning feeling relaxed, that you are relaxed, that you are relaxed
Absolutely loving the Adventure Dispatch videos. If you were to go international and get visual stories from others around the world that would be sick!
Awesome short film, and a terrific person it would seem :) Agree about the bike, on of the few good inventions that can help man rather than destroy us. Add sailboat to that as well and we have the two perfect vehicles to take us anyway any time.
And the bike is an AWOL... isnt it. A much regrettably discontinued bike that is a legend even in Italy and of which I so happily managed to grab one of the very last specimens! In Italy we have a saying... "you don't don't ever sell your Awol"... true story 😌. Hope you'll go back on full steel some day soon!
Hansthehorrible I made that print for him and had it laminated. I presented it to him on a ride up in Vermont a few years ago and I kid you not, I've never seen someone more genuinely excited, not even a child on Christmas morning. true story.
wow ultra!!! i read about you in my news paper in india. & then i become a fan of you & your life style. you are an amazing guy. its good that i found you in google & youtube. nice..
just sad, that Specialized doesn't build reliable bikes anymore. I cracked a Diverge Frame after 6000km, got a replacement and after just a bit over 2000km the frame starts creaking again. I wonder how long it will take until it's also trash. As a replacement, I've ordered a custom steel frame. I just hope my Diverge lasts until it gets here. The Diverge was my 5th and last Specialized.
Once you have your bike, a high quality tent and equipment, and clothing, all you really need to get is food. That is why he said he spends a lot of money on food.
Thanks for the reply. I believe that the standard size water bottle for bicycles is 24 ounces. And of course the water bottle cage will only fit a 24 ounce bottle as well. So if I wanted to purchase a 40 ounce bottle from Klean Kanteen I would need to find a source for the larger water bottle cage for attaching to my bicycle. Any ideas?
Was that a photo of ?Matthew McConaughey? Love it. Hey Ultra I’m in Western mass let’s go for a ride sometime, I’d love to buy you a beer and learn more.
My wife and I are still rolling on the floor with laughter! Stop! My sides are beginning to hurt! I think the funniest line was unintended: "I've never owned a car ... I've never had to do the payments ... I have loads of free time because I don't need to make a lot of money." The thought that immediately sprang to mind was: "What! Have you not priced a top-of-the-line Specialized bike?! Of course you need to make a lot of money!!!!!" ;-D
The music is cool but the first half of the video definitely felt a little bit all over the place as a result. Super cool set up though.... and is that picture of Matthew Mcconaughey?

Black metal + bikepacking = awesomeness
Blackpacking. :P
Still one of the best videos on the internet 🙌
There is so much "perfect" going on in the imagery I almost can't stand it 😍 his hair, the woods, fire, food, music and then the snow at the end! Lovely.
I like these videos that reach everyone as opposed to just aero, aero, aero. Well done!
But he has Aerotech gloves on! But I also like the departure of competitive cycling in this series. Cycling for the everyman.
Agreed. There are so many aspects to riding a bike and often we only see 1

I love black metal and biking.

Hahahah.... I blast slayer and Sepultura on a Bluetooth speaker while riding

the STAR IS born
black metal soundtrack on a corporate made video.... interesting....
Because he rides the custom Specialized blackmetal Awol
Haha, black metal is just meant for entertainment purposes, you know right? Serves the capital just as the brands, it’s not even art dude
@@polyushkopole5292of course it's human artifice, the root of the abbreviation "art"
this was unbelievably awesome!
Love the last shot, how the climbing road and the hill makes an 'S'! Great stuff all-round!
Matthew McConaughey made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that. We all need our idols.

If you want to live simply in the nature, there's nothing better than the latest expensive bike tech.
Haha!
lol yeah i know right
Don't forget to make it look like it's 12 years older by paying more for chrome wheels and cranks
Tom Fox Yes! haha
Is that bike a specialized awol?
Beautiful video. Love what the Yellow eye tunes did to the mood. Nice pick!
A work of art on every level
Ditch the bike and walk/hike truly simplistic
And the bike is an AWOL... isnt it. A much regrettably discontinued bike that is a
legend even in Italy and of which I so happily managed to grab one of the very last specimens!

This is the spirit that Specialized should uphold, not the pursuit of Roubaix Cafe, Epic Design etc. for infringement of imaginary copyright.
Shocked in the best way possible hearing black metal in a bike add, awesome!
Matthew McConaughey? 2:50

I love this fucking video
More of this kind of videos please.
"by take care of myself, the day will take of me"
a cemetery, fire (albiet controlled), nature and a cabin. All we need is some corpse paint to go alongside this music.
Never tried Black Metal + Cycling combination after all these years i'll try it.,
I love this guy, love the Matthew McConaughey shot, not a bad role model
Which bike was used in the movie? Thank you
damn where is that cabin?!
super epic! i love this!
Two wheels set him free, Wind whispers tales of open road, Ron's heart takes the lead.
Esse video mudou mais meu conceito sobre a bike! Muito bom! Esse cara sabe viver!
i love thats bags, front and rear. Where could i get ones ??
Carradice
anyone know the brand of shoes he is wearing? 0:10s.
This made me smile broadly
the first time i ever wanted to dive in
Awesome video! What kind of budget are you talking about here?

Que excelente Fondo la 🚲 te brinda esa libertad inigualable y la pasión por la Naturaleza
3:00... inspires a hearty laugh. Hello friend!
Game-winning soundtrack right there
What an amazing person.
You guys should make a video what's faster a GoPro hero 4 on your bike your chest or helmet
Model bike year that appears in the video?
Is the model an AWOL?
Now I know where Sean Conway gets his look
Great attitude. Love the canvas bags and the whole Scando-retro vibe.

Whats the front rack he is using?
I like his philosophy. I need to know where I can get those stainless steel water bottles?
Thanks for the reply. I believe that the standard size water bottle for bicycles is 24 ounces. And of course the water bottle cage will only fit a 24 ounce bottle as well. So if I wanted to purchase a 40 ounce bottle from Klean Kanteen I would need to find a source for the larger water bottle cage for attaching to my bicycle. Any ideas?

Is this what they mean by the spirit of gravel? I like to think so..
im not sure what to think - can someone tell me what i should be thinking - im confused

you are easily amused
Last time I checked high end bikes cost a fraction of what a car costs.
Also you didn’t take in account the bike was probably LOANED to him just for the video by specialized. It’s a marketing commercial.
Goddamit! Six years ago. Where was I in my cycling life that such a lifestyle and genre exists. Excuse me I have to set my Rapha gear on fire.
Anyone know how thick these tires are?
Yaaaay ! Free your mind, Ride your Bike and live !
What model is the best to ride an Ultra on road?
this video is proof that you can blend nature with black metal! Hail!
What is the band/song?
Ice in the Spring by Yellow Eyes
thanks!
Anyone knows that song with potato ?
very hipster, but still great video. Absolute truth: bicycle is the best invention. Put humanity forward with minimal risk.
I wouldn't day his a hipster more of a hippy so to speack
Imma gonna have to get me some shorts like that. Epic.
what bike was he riding?
So agree with what you say, simple is best and the bike is perfect for that
what bike is he riding here??
Anyone know where in New England this is?
Fantastic!
Is that 26 wheels?
Yes, old-school 1994 chromoly 26 mtb.
Fabulous inspirational short film
This is hilarious! Great vid!
The music is cool but the first half of the video definitely felt a little bit all over the place as a result. Super cool set up though.... and is that picture of Matthew Mcconaughey?
Yes indeed that's Matthew!!
agree, Poppi's tone and mantra and even the editing did not jive with that sound.
That was a great video. Bravo. Bravo.
yellow eyes -- best black metal band out of new england
Excellent!
I'm now in an Ultra Bromance.
A simple life upon a simple bike is the key
what bike is that?
Specialized AWOL

I can always get behind people who are unapologetic about being themselves, keep on ridin' Poppi.
it only took sixteen viewings to see the street sign
Black metal and biking!
Anyone no the make or model of the bags.
Richard Miller
Carradice Camper Longflap.
Has his own design now: Fabio's Chest
what is the model, please ?
awol
Is that Burzum ?
No. The music in the description.
Great video! I have a Specialized TriCross that I can't wait to ride after I recover from knee surgery.
👍
What is the model of this bike too stylish. It is surely a vintage bike that it has modernized. It looks like the Ghost Grappler of Surly
very good parody
It's clever marketing from this chap
Run Forest run! 😁
The new Thoreau.
nice empty road , no vehicular traffic , perfect place to bike
Into the wild
Awesome satire!
Goooood ;) cheers
But I have not found good backwoods gravel roads much, at least not enough that is not single track.
