Tried out a new concept by letting the video and music go their way for about 30 minutes, no interruptions! On the other hand, I posted an Explainer on the same route, which contains all the information we could come up with. Should I edit future journeys in the same way?
yes, like it
I like the talking and explanation as you travel, not just music. The ladies saddle heights seem way too high( hips rocking even with toes pointed).?? There was no flow and it was hard to follow actually where you travelled. Once again thank you for your interesting angle of interpretation of your trip.
Very nice! Makes it more insightful on the journey. The background music is also tasty! 👌
I love it! It captures genuine moments and makes me excited for my next adventure. Well done!
All the feels! The footage, the cinematography, the audio, the music, the realness... Amazing!
I could watch this video over and over again and never get tired! About to start the Baja Divide in a week, I'm so excited (and scared haha) Thanks for the hype, the cinematic footage and the little window into your group dynamics!
Very well documented ❤ beautifully done ✅
Why is this channel so underrated? Looks nice!!!
Wish I knew the answer, and that I had more chances of uploading!
Another great Video from 2 of my favourite people on the net. Greetings from Down Under (Adelaide) Love the scenery and those sunsets and having Sam and Bec with you added another dimension and I sense some extra fun. Top stuff. Rod
Thanks Rod, I appreciate your kind words!
Baja is amazing!
You really outdid yourself with this film, my dude! I mean, I loved the previous ones but this video is golden. I enjoyed it immensely! Gracias
Thank you! Do you like this concept more than the videos with informative interruptions? Thinking about making the Baja video my standard edit approach :)
100%! It’s also the opposite of the typical fast paced stuff that we see everywhere. This is a much needed breath of fresh air haha. Whatever you do, I’m down to watch 🙌
Great video as always, big hugs from Valencia!
Thanks, Simon! Enjoy the sun!
I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing. The music, the cinematography, the companionship. Fantastic.
After having watched the Explanation video yesterday, I very much enjoyed the new style of this one (but then I’ve also liked all of your previous videos, so ...)
Your previous videos were (IMO) documentary style and great for it, this one is like we’re following you around from the sidelines, like I am the cameraman. Also a great style.
It’s great to see Sam and Bec again too!
Cheers 👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Tony! Really appreciate that. I like this new approach a lot, and two videos per journey with different angles frees me up from having to think about the structure out in the field. I will experiment more with it in the following months.
Beautiful
Guys, I loved this video. Greetings from CDMX 🥑🌶🌽🌵 💯🚲.
Amazing.
Really enjoyed the immersion your video gave us, thank you. Nicely framed shots, must have taken a tremendous effort to set it up.
Thanks! Yes, these type of shots require me to stop lots, but Belén and I really enjoy that process. Appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for you nice video journey! Very cool! 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed this video. I finished my Baja Divide ride just on December 25, 2022 so the absence of narration was just great!
That’s what I was hoping to read! I will utilize this way more often :)
Extraordinary. I leave 1st week in May. Can't wait.
Get ready for a very, very hot time out in the desert! Wishing you best of luck.
@@tristanbogaard Cannot wait! Watching your piece again and it centers me.
Beautiful video. Gets you deep dive feeling, steers up lots of emotions. Almost forgot I’m watching youtube. And audio is great too! What bothered me, that beginning is so contrast to the rest of the video. It’s long, it’s different, and it’s probably more suitable for vlog style video with action camera selfies. Perhaps voiceover would fit better as intro for such a beautiful and flowing video. Anyway, thank you. Hope you’ll stop burning you fingers with matches. :)
I completely agree with that, and will be moving forward without intros/outros altogether. They don’t pull you in as much as the rest of the video does, and fit the explainer videos much better. Thanks for sharing that tip :)
Amazing video Tristan! Very insightful of such an experience. One question for a newbie like me...may I ask for tips on how to clean pans and dishes while wild camping like this?
Thanks Luis! I’m happy you ask, since it’s a way I don’t really share on camera. I have a rubber spatula that I use to ‘wipe’ down the pan as we eat the hot, still pretty wet food from it. This way, the food doesn’t have time to form a dry crust on the side of the pan and I almost don’t have to clean it at all. Just some toilet paper, and maybe a small splash of water. It’s really easy.
That being said, if there’s water available for cleaning (stream, fountain, tap) then I happily use a more sanitary approach with biodegradable soap and a small sponge.
@@tristanbogaard Thanks Tristan!
Stunning sunsets. The variety of plants was very interesting. So different from my part of the world (west side of Oregon)
Curious what the date was when you started the ride? That information is helpful for people planning to ride the area.
Thank you for a lovely video
Yes, Baja’s flora and fauna is fascinating to say the least! We started at the end of January, which was beneficial as the nights were less cold than in December / January. On the contrary, the south was very hot when we arrived in March. I recommend starting early January for the best temperature balance.
What a wonderful video - I have really enjoyed this style of film and it inspired me a lot. Would you tell me which lens you used for this trip?
I will be going on a longer bikepacking trip soon and the mood you created with this film is amazing and makes me look forward even more. All the best for your future plans.
I’m glad, thank you! This was my first time using a 24-105 F4 lens from Sony, and I loved it. It’s big and heavy, but worth carrying for me. Wishing you well on your long trip!
Great that it turned out that well - the versatility with the 24-105 is awesome. I am still struggling which one to choose to buy: 28-75 F2.8 or Sony 24-105 F4.
But as I have noticed, your low-light footage looked great with the F4 lens.
Thank you very much, looking forward to see more great content like this.
Nice!,,
Hola muy buen video estaría lindo que tiraran algunas palabras en español o subtitulos en éste idioma un abrazo de un argentino radicado hace 20 años en el país Vasco ❤🎉
great video! what's that little grill that guy is using?
It’s from Vargo!
Okkk
Bummer you didn’t finish. Also. Curious as to why there is never any footage of local people and their opinions of all the travelers coming through their land.
You make a good point. Personally, I find it too much to ask locals to say things on camera. Most people are very shy about it, and the language barrier doesn’t make that a lot easier…
Is it dangerous?You read a lot about robbery and murder in the North of Mexico-I went there in 1989 and 2007 but not to Baja California
It didn’t feel dangerous, and I don’t think it is. Baja is a desert peninsula used by Mexicans that live rurally and thrive off tourism. I wouldn’t see it as a place where crime has any advantage.
You were running out of matches anyway so time to turn around.
