There is nothing better in life than to witness such passion, it can take you anywhere you want to go and will carry many with you...well done Henry and well done Archie great story excellent story telling
Very true! Thanks very much for this considerate comment, its much appreciated! You're right, its all hard work everyday! keep riding bro! Stay tuned :) AF
Wow, almost 16,000 views! This for me has been a huge success and still is as the view count continues to increase. But thank you also for the amazing feedback, they are all very kind comments which i have read and appreciate greatly i couldn't possibly reply to them all! I would really like some suggestions from you guys as to what videos i can make in the future and what you want to see so you can see more. Fire away below. Thanks again and i will see you very soon. :D KEEP SHARING WITH FRIENDS
Inspiring documentary! What kind of power (watts or watts/kg) do these guys put out in junior races? I'm 17 and I just started cycling, and I've always wanted to race, but I'm not sure if my numbers are good enough? Thanks!
+Christopher Jing I'm 17 and just got promoted to Cat 2. An average cat 3 (I've only had a power Meter for a couple races) crit would probably see Anywhere from
+The Redster thanks for the reply! I can average 3.1 w/kg for 30 mins in the gym, but I have a crappy bike, I might think about entering a lower-level race. Thanks!!
Very nice video. Great story. I raced many years ago. Most people don't understand what it takes to get out there and to actually win even the most minor local race. Good on you Henry and its great that you have such a supportive family.
If you are chasing your passion that is huge, if you've got support all around you like mental support, that's massively huge! Makes all the difference Good one lads
Absolutely! Never give up, there's always work to do, keep mind focus and work hard everyday! Thanks for your comment, much appreciated! Stay tuned :) AF
My son 9 wants to take on this sport . He is passionate And im happy because I love to ride ( leisurely ) so i get to spend time with him while staying fit and active
Nice one Archie. Just watched this over dinner on the other side of the world. Crits like this are where it all begins. I have one memory of Ian Stannard turning up to a similar race at Eastway (old circuit) in London as an unknown 16yo, and we let him ride off the front. Hahahah. Thanks for documenting this important scene. Keep it up.
Very nice work Archie. Seems like we have a new Greipel on the works there with Henry. Keep it up guys. Hope for Henry to join a team and have somebody to train with, and his improvements will speed up as he puts more effort on the train rides. Mark my words, if he joins a team, he could be the marked man on the races, wich is good, so he can enjoy the fact that his every move is closly watch and act up on. teamates can make a big difference. So far he's doing very good. Nice for the whole family to support him.
Archie- excellent work! Loved the value of the crowd and sound in the outside shots. Watch the music track during the conversations. Many nice angles and interesting shots. If you can try to get some higher elevation, Ladder, along the races. That would make the POV interesting. Change the music on the longer video. You missed the crash shot!! That would have given you drama. As a documentarian (love that word ololol) you have to be in the dirt, not stop filming, just shoot, shoot, shoot. It's not just the filming, anyone can hold a camera, it's all in the editing. Henry- Remember to get refitted on your bike at least every six months. Your hip angle seems a little off on a few of the views. I'm sure you've taken care of that aspect. Great job. Nice future in racing. Tip: Instead of pinning your number to your jersey try spraying the back of the number with 3M Spray Mount. This will stick to the jersey material and lay flat against your back. I use this method when I TT and I've never lost a number. That way I don't put holes in my jersey (suit) and the stuff washes off. Experiment.
PUMA JUMA , thanks very much for your comment. I will take these points into a hopeful new documentary i plan to make. I do have a drone but it broke about a week before the shoot which would have got me some great arial shots! Oh i see, interesting stuff about 3M, will pass it onto Henry himself. Best of luck to you too and thanks again for the kind words. :)
Great video with a happy ending. I could feel the elation that Henry had winning that race. All the training, all the sacrifice paid off. How did the rest of the season go?
Haha thanks very much mate! Glad your enjoyed it! :) Yes it does absolutely, keep working hard at what you love and you will succeed! It went well thanks, consistent riding and points followed! Onto to next season! Thanks again, stay tuned for more! :) AF
It's funny he's talking about looking back on this stuff like he's 40 years old. 'I still remember getting my first proper road bike' of course you do it was like 5 years ago.
Cool documentary! Getting out of 4th cat is like a right of passage, when I was trying I felt like I was in a documentary... but to see one for real is really fun- very endearing :) It's stories like this that are far more relatable for most cyclists; which in a way is better than seeing superstar pros. I also reckon that this could act like a good little time-capsule! Keep documenting mate it'd be cool to see even more stories!
Really great documentary, brought back memories of supporting my son with his development and first win. Henry, of course you wont take any notice of the negative comments on here... I would be interested to hear how you have progressed since your Crit win..? My lad is 20 and just finished racing in Belgium for his second season, its worth you thinking about going out there when you get to Cat2 (you're probably there already) , no better training ground for road racing. Keep it up..!
Thanks so much Kevin!! I'm glad you enjoyed! Henry is also 20 and has now got 2nd cat, i will pass this comment onto him and let him know. Thanks again for your kind words. I hope to have another documentary out soon showing where he is now.
ArchieFawcett If Henry is interested and he has some good results he could apply to the Dave Rayner fund for seasonal funding to live and race abroad.. looking forward to your next documentary.
Great Documentary. It truly encouraged me and motivated me as I get ready to race my last four Cat 5 races. I too hope to have this experience this weekend or at least one race weekend soon. Thanks for sharing your life, time and also the experience. #critwhit
Stephen below has said what I wanted to say so well done lads and thanks for posting. Thumbs down they must be jealousy votes as I cannot see what to dislike.Ted
Kill the damn repetitive music. The doc is interesting but I feel like I'm on hold with the dentist. The ambient sounds are fine. It's SUCH A RELIEF when the music stops. Cheers
Inspiring documentary! What kind of power (watts or watts/kg) do these guys put out in junior races? I'm 17 and I just started cycling, and I've always wanted to race, but I'm not sure if my numbers are good enough? Thanks!
Forget numbers. Just get out there and race. Most guys these days are obsessed with power meters, but don't have the faintest idea how to analyse the data. Unless you are a very serious rider, a power meter is just another piece of expensive kit.
There is nothing better in life than to witness such passion, it can take you anywhere you want to go and will carry many with you...well done Henry and well done Archie great story excellent story telling
Thanks Stephen, great to hear from you! Absolutely, hard work and dedication can get you anywhere in life! Thanks again for the comment! :) AF
Great documentary of what its like to be a racer. Grass roots is where it starts and where most of us will stay. Beautiful to watch.
Indeed!! But with hard work you can get anywhere! Thanks for the comment, i appreciate it! Stay tuned :) AF
Just goes to show what drive, commitment and awesome family support can achieve! No-one becomes a winner by accident!
Very true! Thanks very much for this considerate comment, its much appreciated! You're right, its all hard work everyday! keep riding bro! Stay tuned :) AF

We all have to start from somewhere.
That first ever win is kind of special.
Keep it up and many more will come.
Absolutely Peter. The fist win makes you realise you have the potential you always had. Thanks for your kind comment! :)

Very nice video. Great story. I raced many years ago. Most people don't understand what it takes to get out there and to actually win even the most minor local race. Good on you Henry and its great that you have such a supportive family.

Respect. . hairs on the back of my neck were dancing for you on your victory
Interesting but the music all the way through it made me want to turn it off, annoying as fuck
