Irgendwo am Mount Seymour, North Vancouver. Josh Carlson und Yoann Barelli mitten im Wald. Nieselregen, Schnee, Temperatur knapp über dem Gefrierpunkt – scheint so, als ob das für eine ausgiebige Trailtour für die beiden genau passt.
Ein Bike-Video im herkömmlichen Sinn ist es für SRAM nicht: Hier wurde nicht nochmal hochgeschoben oder die gleiche Kurve nochmal und nochmal gefahren – stattdessen wurden die beiden während der nassen Tour einfach begleitend gefilmt:
What you see is not a video edit pieced together with carefully choreographed and sessioned bits of trail. There was no “ una mas” uttered during the filming of this, no “ go back up two turns and do it again.” Instead, this is an honest look at how a Frenchman and an Australian spend a springtime training day in Vancouver. Apart from a wee bit of smiling for the camera and the odd stop to play with tire pressures and suspension settings — the two teammates were also testing their new SRAM ROAM 60 wheels — Barelli and Carlson just kept “ swimming” up and down Mount Seymour, banging out 33.9 rain-soaked kilometers and climbing 1,324 meters over the 4 hours and 40 minutes we filmed them. They weren’t quite finished when we turned off the cameras, either. Like the Frenchman and the blue cartoon fish say, “ Just keep swimming.”
