francis when we first started going out he bought me a fixed gear
with clip pedals and i i hadn't ridden a bike in like 15 years and it was like
the scariest thing but it's not it's not scary at all perfectly safe perfectly so
he's supposed to be his support crew support him with love this is the support i've given but yeah
yeah your video is going to have a lot of hyena laughing and it's like i was like oh five full
of and all of them are like yeah but that's good that's good for the vlog you should fall over yeah
you should well if you get a photo of you for the thumbnail like on the floor why am i nervous i've
been on a bike before welcome to today's video today i'm with obi vinson oh hi just looking at
myself there i was just like oh it's nice to have a camera where you can actually look at yourself
you can see yourself you look the part i know right some new kids actually it actually fits
nicely it's a 3xl today we're going to be riding some track bikes we're at home hill velodrome and
i think i'm going to have a race against you you're ready that's if i don't fall
off because i'm gonna be very preoccupied riding around the track today daisy's gonna
be helping with the filming so if it looks [ __ ] don't come for me it's gonna look like art but
the rough plan for today we've got a group of riders not all of us have ridden track
that recently so we're gonna have a refresher session we're borrowing some bikes obie's first
time ever riding track and hopefully we're gonna do a few efforts towards the end uh
to see who is faster a bodybuilder or a cyclist my bets on ob just realize that
you're with us i think we're all going to get smashed by you sprinter's legs mate look at
the difference get him to do the hard work yeah absolutely all right yeah maybe one more time
is that the first time you've ever pumped some tires up because you usually get me to do it
okay so we're gonna first of all get used to using those leg brakes hands are here we've got
nothing to stop us flying forward so we want to be locked in with our thumbs either there
with slowing down is it just a question of not peddling too much i mean again it depends how
quickly you want to slow down yeah we can take speed off by just not actively pedaling but to
actually slow down within quarter of a lap we do need to be resisting those pedals so
you are kind of then using opposite muscles to what you might be pushing forward with so it's
just kind of getting used to engaging that nice forward big pull push with your feet look forward
yeah so it's it's kind of driving you forward yes yeah so it's just resisting that enough that it
slows you down but not so much that you're going to lock the wheel and skid wow yeah that's intense
um i haven't been on the bike for a while that's bad how am i struggling already
those guys were flying in my head i was like yeah see you later it's okay to overtake it
then everyone was just i know yeah when she said that they were just like oh thank god
chief he's carb loading it's this is fueling my ride to hog hill this evening
i'm gonna race later well i'll see i'll see after this savage session savage savage
session so how was your first experience riding up the whole trap
awesome awesome tough what did you find everything it was more of me thinking i'm going to fall
you're not gonna fall find mine of course yes you say i wouldn't but my brain doesn't have that
absolutely yeah so it's kind of being more uh comfortable yeah it just takes time to get used
to it we're gonna actually just do the next one on the white line so that's our 450 meter
line the fastest way around the velodrome so this one is going to be hopefully a little um
less intimidating however what we are going to be doing is playing something we call the animal game
so this is a way for us to get used to riding closer behind people being someone slipstream
is really really important kind of protecting yourself from the wind saving that energy um but
it does take a bit of time to get used to riding a little bit closer to people basically i'll
be shouting animals at you as you ride past and you have to put that invisible animal in between
you and the person in front of you everything in track cycling is all about doing things as fluidly
smoothly predictably as possible um you know the reason that we don't have breaks is to kind of be
really really smooth and predictable so this is just kind of practice adjusting our speed
slightly kind of keeping it all together sound good let's go with the zebra that's a very big
elephant obi's got in front of him right now so we're gonna go into zebra we're gonna go later
we're gonna go for a walk home
how you feeling so far it's hard my legs are pumped it feels like i've just done a leg workout
we kind of have for people who don't know uh you do a bit of bodybuilding but you mainly
do crossfit stuff you're exercising like 12 hours a day every day yeah not 12 hours a
day actually that's you that's cyclist you do 12 hours a day if i do 12 hours a day
i don't think i'll be alive i do a mix of everything i call myself a cross lifter
so i do bodybuilding crossfit strength and conditioning loads of functional stuff catch
well stuff so if you if you look on my channel my plug yeah yeah i'm gonna put the link down below
vincent instagram that's pretty much pretty much what i do but it's not just lifting heavy weights
really slowly you are cardiovascular layering fits until i get on the bike that's why i think
it's gonna be an interesting thing how fast you end up going around the track later on because i
think it's gonna be closer than you reckon with my legs already exhausted do you think i'll be able
to i'm making excuses now putting the excuses out there my legs are already they're quite
heavy well whatever happens if i end up joining you in the gym i think yeah it's gonna be a lot
that would be sweet revenge we need to get you in the gym i won't know what that's fine what
do you wear in a gym in crossfit we don't we went next to nothing too come in your underwear that's
fine this is your domain now you kind of have to come into mine i'll be nice we've been nice
no no you have you've been polite well except for him you've been riding too fast who invited
this guy yeah they're trying to stay together him nope see you later i think how proud he is
god it's weird how like the first time you go up on the tilt it's like it's actually defensive
i enjoyed that the most okay being close to the fence i've only ridden fix like around london
and it's it's fun to just be able to ride without worrying about it phobia gets the hang of this do
you think we're in trouble he's going to be my leader hillingdon sprinter get down to england
that's the next video mate yeah bodybuilder tries cat for hillary bodybuilder tries e12 lead out
okay so flying lap i'm gonna time you for one lap but we're actually gonna do three so you're gonna
get a build up lap then you do your fast lap and then you get your cooldown stopping that
the back straight where it's the flattest just move up to the top of the track start
applying the pressure trying to build some speed up around the banking and then as we did before
um using the banking itself to gain some free speed as we come back down here
um and then i will start timing you from our start finish line there stay on the
white line for that fast lap the white line is the fastest way around the track cool come back
easy money off out of everyone i don't know bear probably tobias seeing as he was tearing
everyone else's legs off failure go go go go go go go on jess first first first brush as
well i'm getting nervous mate he's a quarterback through he's got this fly and die i'm going blow
i did 43.7 43.7 that's in european numbers 41.5 jess it's a tough sir like moderate headwinds
quite windy just just just just enough to notice it yeah it's because you're getting kicked so no
one on the internet don't be um don't be comparing our times to the indoor track it's not fair it's
very windy out here this surface it's not siberian it's really slow yeah of course it's very draggy
yeah that's over his time you beat him yeah but like i think it was because yeah he did beat him
if you join lcc you get um 0.3 faster on your 450 meter outdoor sprint time yeah yeah
that was awful i was like yeah i'm doing it i didn't do it and i got there i was like
oh my lap is a really long wave yeah yeah that was fun but then if i had to do like 10 laps of
that that would be fun oh here we go tobias can we not like obstruct his should let his time we
should have put one one eye closed maybe or maybe like put weights on his legs come on let's go
what was the time thirty four thirty thirty four that'd be obie uh yes yeah yes my three seconds
that's all that matters now what happened what happened i beat you
do you know what else happened what tobias beat both of us of course he did
yeah bloody tobias by four seconds you swear on your thing sorry is that swearing
bloody bloody no he's fine it's youtube it's not tv
i think he was cheating i think he bribed player i saw him give him pretty sure
my watch said something different so what's the conclusion of this video the conclusion
is bodybuilders can't beat cyclists until they've had some practice no i don't even think with that
i think i mean the only time it will be fair is if you put on a bit more weight or i lose weight
now which is which which which are we going to go for well i'm fully expecting if i come to the
gym with you i immediately put on loads of muscle okay so one session in a few months you're gonna
you're going to be my size yeah and then we're going to try this again yeah we will have flying
cars before that happens but you know listen look i have fun that's the whole point of this
um it wasn't a competition well it was for francis i'm just here to have fun and enjoy it
it was like it's always a competition thank you so much for the session today you're welcome
if other people in london or the surrounding areas want to do the same as us yeah can they
absolutely so you need to do what we call a track taster first which is basically
an induction kind of thing again if you've just watched the video then you'll see we learn how to
ride fixed gear bike go around the velodrome all the basics that you need to know um to be able to
ride around safely and then you can come back to a track skills session where we kind of take that
next step go a little bit faster do more group stuff you don't even need to be super pro
bike handling really all you need to be able to do is ride in a straight line confidently
and look around you um and you'll be able to do track and it's really accessible and affordable
it's only 20 quid to do a taster and then 10 pounds a session after that so that includes
all the bike higher as well because obviously we need special bikes go around the belly room we
have a website which is handheldrome.com uh we're also on instagram and twitter i will put links to
all of those in the description down below lock these guys back in yeah influencers in the wild
i feel like cyclists photo shoots and bodybuilder photo shoots are very different
well they look good i mean you know
i like it right you
