The Adventure Dispatch: Ultra Romance
ฝัง

- Deep in the remote wild of New England lies an enigmatic figure, with piercing eyes like the Night's King, to which many names are attributed. Boltar Benedict, Poppi, Juan Cool Romance, Turbo Romance-it's all really beside the point, as it's his message that's truly important. It's a tale told through unbridled, unpretentious adventure. No, he doesn't ride for Insta-likes, he's spearheading a movement of living simply and getting out in nature. And even if you're not daring enough to tromp through the bush to find him, you're still invited along for the ride.
Music:
“Ice in the Spring," by Yellow Eyes
“Been All Around this World," by Six Dollar String Band
Production:
Director: Warren Kommers
Producer: AVERingenuity
Still one of the best videos on the internet 🙌
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!
"I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go home now"
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
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.
Black metal + bikepacking = awesomeness
Blackpacking. :P
I love black metal and biking.
me too
Hahahah.... I blast slayer and Sepultura on a Bluetooth speaker while riding
@@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.
Love the last shot, how the climbing road and the hill makes an 'S'! Great stuff all-round!
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
this was unbelievably awesome!
the STAR IS born
Sunny day - Shorts
Cold night - Shorts
Winter and snow - Shorts
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.
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!
Beautiful video. Love what the Yellow eye tunes did to the mood. Nice pick!
Matthew McConaughey made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that. We all need our idols.
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..
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?
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"
super epic! i love this!
A work of art on every level
More of this kind of videos please.
Shocked in the best way possible hearing black metal in a bike add, awesome!
3:00... inspires a hearty laugh. Hello friend!
Ditch the bike and walk/hike truly simplistic
You can't do wheelies while walking NERD
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!
Great attitude. Love the canvas bags and the whole Scando-retro vibe.
✌
I love this guy, love the Matthew McConaughey shot, not a bad role model
a cemetery, fire (albiet controlled), nature and a cabin. All we need is some corpse paint to go alongside this music.
Esse video mudou mais meu conceito sobre a bike! Muito bom! Esse cara sabe viver!
This is the spirit that Specialized should uphold, not the pursuit of Roubaix Cafe, Epic Design etc. for infringement of imaginary copyright.
This made me smile broadly
"by take care of myself, the day will take of me"
Two wheels set him free, Wind whispers tales of open road, Ron's heart takes the lead.
That was a great video. Bravo. Bravo.
Fantastic!
Que excelente Fondo la 🚲 te brinda esa libertad inigualable y la pasión por la Naturaleza
Game-winning soundtrack right there
Never tried Black Metal + Cycling combination after all these years i'll try it.,
I love this fucking video
What an amazing person.
This is hilarious! Great vid!
the first time i ever wanted to dive in
Fabulous inspirational short film
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
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.
Excellent!
Imma gonna have to get me some shorts like that. Epic.
Liking Viking Biking.
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.
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.
So agree with what you say, simple is best and the bike is perfect for that
A simple life upon a simple bike is the key
this video is proof that you can blend nature with black metal! Hail!
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
Goooood ;) cheers
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.
Black metal and biking!
Now I know where Sean Conway gets his look
Great video! I have a Specialized TriCross that I can't wait to ride after I recover from knee surgery.
👍
I can always get behind people who are unapologetic about being themselves, keep on ridin' Poppi.
Yaaaay ! Free your mind, Ride your Bike and live !
What model is the best to ride an Ultra on road?
yellow eyes -- best black metal band out of new england
Awesome video! What kind of budget are you talking about here?
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.
This is either a wonderful spoof or the most painfully preened prickster I have ever seen.
Run Forest run! 😁
very good,,!
I'm now in an Ultra Bromance.
Awesome satire!
Is this what they mean by the spirit of gravel? I like to think so..
Quote : one of the few human inventions that can actually help humans , as opposed put them forward just to set them back. Or something close to what he said. That's deep...
Specialized sponsored
You guys should make a video what's faster a GoPro hero 4 on your bike your chest or helmet
Matthew McConaughey? 2:50
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.
It's clever marketing from this chap
Man
On
Bike
Awesome
Into the wild
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?
David Branscome velo orange mojave bottle cages and kleen kanteens
it only took sixteen viewings to see the street sign
Haha you made it Romance!!
Which bike was used in the movie? Thank you
i love thats bags, front and rear. Where could i get ones ??
Carradice
very good parody
Serious comedy at its finest. Ride on, Turbo! 🚲💨
The new Thoreau.
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.
Great............ :)
I love this doofus.
he has a youtube channel
legend
why are some people disliking this?
awesome Charles Manson
damn where is that cabin?!
There's a reason why the blackmetal soundtrack is played. Ultra romance rides the custom designed black metal AWOL #blackmetalawol
im not sure what to think - can someone tell me what i should be thinking - im confused
🤘
Like many things that Ronnie does, you should and shouldn't take this too seriously.
anyone know the brand of shoes he is wearing? 0:10s.
He is the definition of Rad
nice empty road , no vehicular traffic , perfect place to bike
Model bike year that appears in the video?
Is the model an AWOL?
