    Guys thank you so much for this. This had me crying towards the end. I’m 32 and I had great friend of 54 named Mike. Every year in July we would take 1 week off of work and ride our bikes towards a destination. No plan no hotels reserved just a destination. We’d ride and stop whenever we felt tired. Truly a feeling of freedom riding with my best friend. He was so tough it made me feel like I was older than he was sometimes. He passed away in March of this year. The relationship you two have is in incredible and when I watch you guys it brings back memories of the past trips Mike and I took. Thank you so much and I hope these adventures continue for a long time.

      Tears to my eyes. My friend who introduced me to riding and rode with me almost 10k together is now shifted to a different state. We barely see each other but I know he's only one call away. I have been contemplating a ride together for good times sake. I guess I clear my schedule and do it. You never know when the time comes for you. Ride while you can!

    Wow, I had no idea Zack and Ari went back THAT far, no wonder they work so great together. It's very rare in a duo that one isn't the main man and the other is a side kick, not the case with Zack and Ari, they are both amazing at what they do and equally as important in the production of the videos. I hope those two never separate, and work together all the way up until retirement. Spectacular episode.

      I used to do slalom skateboarding and this reminded me of taking turns at speed. You end up perpendicular a few inches to the ground. A head and then back injury took me out of the sport for the past year and it’s been years since any shops put together a competition nearby to even go to. I’ll probably be feeling the same as you in twenty years haha.

    When I was little I spent a lot of hours riding behind my dad on his 65 BSA including a couple of trips to Laconia NH for bike week. He died in 2000 and I’d been holding onto the BSA. It hadn’t run in years and I’d just been dragging it around with me from place to place. I finally owned up to the fact that I didn’t have the time, skills or money to restore it so I decided to sell it to someone who did. I hopped on to roll it out of the garage for the sale and my daughter, who was six at the time, asked if she could climb on behind me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and asked if that was how I rode with my dad, who she had never met. I choked out a yes as the tears welled up in my eyes. The guy I sold it to by the way did an amazing resto job.

    To be completely honest this was my introduction to vintage sidecar racing. I never knew such awesome things existed! The quality and thought put into these episodes make it feel like a full on Netflix series.

    Sick racing boys, nice batteling and some sick overtaking.The camera, editing, and sound is all 10/10 - very impressive

    Man this was a lot of fun. Somehow not having comms made you guys mor in sync. Perhaps because you weren't waiting for confirmation from the partner and just trusted each other. I never thought that passenger in a side car was just along for the ride, but still thought sidecar racig was a silly thing. This episode has completely changed my mind on it and I can now see that this is a true team effort and not just a battle of the fastest. The position on track almost takes a back seat. Almost, because the race was definitely a nail biter!
    Thank you for a bag of emotion!

    GREAT videos guys! My son John rode monkey for Ed Frankel on his Norton sidecar rig. John sent me the link to this great video. THANKS! for the memories of many of our best father/son memories with old bikes, Tim, Tom, Ed and many others. Charlie Seymour (#119, 450 Ducati)

    What a wonderful story. I hadn't realised, as others have said, that you two went back so far. This was so much fun to watch. I got pretty nervous during the last race. Was a bit worried you might stack it, but it was all good. What an awesome experience to be able to share with a friend.

    Oh my God! Ari and Zack, you made me cry tears of joy. I truly loved seeing you two putting this together. I loved the Alaska journey, but this was better. Cheers to the both of you. May you have many more shared journeys, and please share them with us.

    No better feeling than rubbing your shoulder in the weeds at high speed . My dad & mum raced grass track sidecars and my dad went on to ride trials sidecars when he got old. So much fun ripping around with your mate .
    Great video 👍

    @whatsstefon 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I love all your adventures, but this one was amazing. One of my most favourite episodes to date. Absolutely loved it. Watching you guys for a while now and I never realised you grew up together. Which makes this episode even more special. I must have missed that detail if you’ve ever mentioned it in past videos. ❤

    I have rolled through Chelsea, VT so many times on my own little offroad adventures and never known that was the home of these two. What a wonderful adventure, article, and story. Thank you to the Revzilla team, Zack, and Ari.

    This is hands-down the best CTXP episode to date. Dumb and Dumber was the leader previously but damn, this one hits on all cylinders. The road trip was fun, but Zach and Ari fixing the bike and racing together was pure awesomesauce. I'm also now VERY interested in watching more sidecar racing, holy crap it looks fun to watch.

    Man, I've been following Zach and Ari from their motorcyclist magazine days. Honestly one of my absolute favorite episodes that they've ever done out of all of their work with CTXP, Throttle Out, and On Two Wheels.
    Never really commented on one of your videos, but I just rewatched this episode and remembered why I love the two of them.

  • @haithamanbar5794

    May your friendship and bond stand the test of time. You guys are so genuine and refreshing. I am extremely jealous of the memories and experiences you guys get to have together, and I can't think of a greater compliment I can pay you.
    Be safe and keep allowing us to live vicariously through you.

    That intro was already amazing! I'm sure to love the rest of the show. Great work to everyone!
    Post-Watch Edit: My back and knees no longer hurt. WTF are taxes? I'm 10yo again with an empty mug that minutes ago was just full to the brim with hot cocoa. I just finished watching--smiling ear to ear all throughout--a 90's/00's feel-good sports movie. And nobody could convince me otherwise.

    this is the best sport video i have ever watch. its not like basketball or soccer where everyone is so intense and so serious. this is just like watching a bunch of guys put on their childhood brain again. i don't even cared what place they were in, I just knew that every one had a blast.

    I think what I love most about this video in particular is how invested RevZilla was in telling a story that truly seems so close to the heart for these two. That’s a Family thing right there! You guys are a hell of a crew over there at RevZilla!
