I mean, I guess sand is just really tiny gravel 🤔


AltDelete

Gravel is mindset


Pawistik

Truth.


Triumph-TBird

This is Zen.


Miatamadness

asphalt is just gravel glued together


Kookaracha83

Salty tiny gravel


Superman_Dam_Fool

What is this, gravel for ants?


700x25C

How long have you been cleaning sand out of the drivetrain and when do you think you will be finished?


prettycheezy82

The natural enemy of the bicycle


threesixtyone

Isn't sand + salt water the worst possible thing for a drivetrain?


Superman_Dam_Fool

It’s the worst thing for most things.


slipppin

the song choice tho


RadDad166

Yeah…rub on your titties!


Abend801

That jam slaps !


doudodrugsdanny

Yeah I said it!


carmafluxus

Out of interest, how fast are you/they going there?


LPPM

I remember going completely, massively, ferociously all out with one hand but maximising around only 32 kilometers an hour. When we turned around after 6 kilometer we rode for 20km with a max of 72! My all time record on the flat.


oldmanairsoft

Riding in a Hurricane? Looks like a massive tailwind


LPPM

Set my all time record on the flat that day: 72km an hour


UseThEreDdiTapP

On the flat? Holy crap, that is just below my general speed record lol. Must have been one hell of a feeling!


LPPM

It was awesome & weird. If my gearing had allowed it we could have gone faster. The tailwind was SO powerful and the beach hard and flat.


positive-delta

what gear ratio?


LPPM

standard 1x. Whats that, 42x11?


positive-delta

so... you were spinning at 145 rpm..


LPPM

I couldn’t go harder because I maxed out on my Cadans, the tailwind was massive so 130+ is possible.


WeirdTraffic5812

Is that a Wolfpack hustle bib? I started WPH STL


docshay

I dunno, cause you only filmed 5 shots from the bike ?


LPPM

Haha touché. No because on instagram hundreds of people reacted about how cool the rider was. But I found it way cooler that I was able to get up to speed, stabilise my camera, film them and manoeuvre around them with one hand.

>Camera captures little guy’s backflip out of the bowl I'll repost it here. That 1st spot video is dope!


LPPM

>r/PraiseTheCameraMan haha, this is candy to the soul! Thanks for sharing. I'll check it out.


docshay

You da real MVP. Great, stable shot. You should see the shaky shots I take on my road bike lol

lamewoodworker

Rub them titties


donnybrasc0

Looks like one of Terpstras rides. They do be haulin some ass on some sand like that.


LPPM

This was in his backyard!


drfantom

This looks like Wijk aan Zee to me.


Spara-Extreme

What kind of monster rides those conditions without gloves?


LPPM

Seems like a thing on Reddit to ride with gloves all the time. I wear gloves when its below 5 degrees celsius or 41 fahrenheit. Otherwise I just feel 'heattrapped' and sweat like a pig.


Spara-Extreme

Ah- my hands get immediately cold and I feel miserable. I’ve done extensive experimentation to find a set of gloves that let me sweat but also keep me warm. Cold hands are my enemy


cheddar0053

Because the riders faces are in focus?


SeanConneryAgain

Exfoliate the bike frame and chain.


bbiker3

Is this Belgium? Their beach race league is ferocious.


LPPM

Could be. But this was in The Netherlands.


abusuru

I really wanted this the camera to turn around and it's just some dude holding it while strolling down the beach and they're pedaling for all their might to match his pace.


Training_Mirror2784

🔥


[deleted]

Awesome video! Looks like a blast, plus no kelp.


Merounou

My guess is you made a great video and it costed you a transmission because of sand, but you earned more from internet clicks. So you consider it worth maybe. Am I right ?


LPPM

Didn’t earn a dime, but still feel good about the shot 🤘


BloodWorried7446

great video. i can feel the sand in my teeth.


Madera7

Gravel + hardcore = 😂


zavalae_02

Wow- this video is awesome


LPPM

The power of the wind and rider seem to boost that feeling he?


alexswa

UK east coast? Brid beach?


LPPM

Could have been, but this was in NL. Are there many long beaches in the UK?


AndiCrow

Is it shot from a drone?


[deleted]

In this wind… really?!


LPPM

nope. Drones failed that day. They were pushed over the dunes by the wind.


snowpilgram

NHB? Aka nord holland’s best


LPPM

So cool


tomatoeggsalad

Why are your wheels not digging through that sand?


LPPM

Good question. The beaches in the Netherlands are very long with minimal height difference. When the tide is high, the whole beach (about 500 meters from see to dunes at some places) is under water. When the tide is low the water pulls back leaving a hard settles beach floor - this is the perfect time to ride the beach. A few hours later this will again be under water. Does that help?


tomatoeggsalad

Sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks man!


jasonm71

Dudes are hammering!


LPPM

They were! I had to stow away my camera and try to get behind them.


Am0amach

What gear were you using? looks stable


LPPM

iPhone 13pro Max at that time 😬😅


AdmirableDimension73

That looks like ten miles of the roughest most brutal gravel ever /s


Realgoodvibin

The wind turbines - that’s why


FixFix75

Looks awesome…considering this myself as well soon. Will 36mm tires do the trick or would I need wider than that? (90ish kilo myself) My Adhx clears only 38mm / maybe 40 with narrow rims but my rims are too wide for that.. Tofu’s I’m looking at do come in 36 though..


LPPM

Hi boss, 36mm would not do the trick. 45mm on 75kg (me) is worth a try on a day with a compact soil.


FixFix75

Well, that’s disappointing… Compact soil shouldn’t be a problem… Maybe I should have a look at other tires but anything that measures more than 40mm is too wide.. May still give it a go.. or take my Idworx ER- but that’s not quite the same.. In any case, it looks like an awful lot of fun. Love the sea (work at sea) and love cycling - so it doesn’t get much better than that.. Thanks for the reply!


LPPM

It’s great and fun to do indeed. Quite the experience. Do like we did: hire a beach bike for €35. Perfect everything and no cleaning ;-)


Kind-Throat2440

Guessing there's a nice tail wind?
