this was supposed to be a day of leisure
and excitement it's turning into a day
of [ __ ] and horror I've already had one
accident today I wasn't gonna tell you
guys but I did actually fall off the
bike for the first time I crashed into a
pole
[Music]
good morning everyone welcome back to
journey across Japan never-ending cycle
of despair day I think it's day I don't
know what that is I really to work that
out
welcome back though it's good see I'm
here with Sharla in Japan without
high-five and today we're gonna be
cycling from Toyama city to Kanazawa the
beautiful historic brilliant city that
many people have described as being
better than Kyoto I can't wait I can't
wait I've never been I've wanted to go
for it so I've never been either yeah we
both wanted to go for a long time so
yeah this is gonna be fun now the great
handing over ceremony where I give you
the helmet that and also Joey left you a
little gift our previous a previous
rider left you this towel so a little
bit of jelly is joining us on our bike
what are we in for today every single
day our crew are curating five or six
challenges put a get a temp on man and
one of them is coming out and what have
we go I know what kind of things you
guys were spending for us all right you
ready I'm ready
choose three places along today's route
and see who can take the best selfies at
each from mr. terrier seventh three
places three cell physique competition
all right come on in Tendo 64 controller
my good luck similar good luck and hope
even though it is falling off all right
this is it to Calais our let's go
[Applause]
[Music]
there's loads of dragonflies that
literally coming at our face it's like
space invaders trying to avoid trying to
void the dragonflies you just say
breakfast Oh dragonfly breakfast mr. big
thought to kick off the day with right
speedy Oh how's Joey's towel it's great
super stylish I've been reading in the
comment that you guys really like the
GoPro time-lapse so today I am going to
give you the sick GoPro time-lapse is
that you deserve full HD 4k high
definition
where the [ __ ] we go let's do a
time-lapse right now I was one hell of a
time-lapse there people are gonna love
actually wants to do another time-lapse
should do another one one more time
lapse come on let's do one more time
lapse this do it let's do it
[Music]
oh my fur on a scale of one to six time
lapse that this guy's so dissociate so
apparently this is one of the three
Great Buddha statues in Japan and I've
now been to all three of them so I can
compare them the one another to Nara and
Kamakura alright I've seen both of them
as well yeah no II see yeah which was
the best one I really liked thrown in
Nara because it's impressive its giant
it's inside the building it's huge yeah
but I don't know something about the the
atmosphere of this place is really nice
I think this is the sexiest one I think
so too
unoriginal fire what's your tactic for
today what's your secret
better than you to do better than me
impossible I may be something not gonna
lie guys it does that like it's like the
entrance to the Temple of Doom or
something I was originally built in 1221
but like most things in Japan they did
did burn down they rebuilt it in 1933 I
don't really know what to do in terms of
a original selfie should I do something
original something clever or should I
just try and look good on camera what's
more likely to help me win that's the
conundrum I face here apparently shell
has already taken hers while I wasn't
looking she complete you did it yeah
that was quick selfie pro what are you
gonna do do you have a 90 coming in
genius yeah something credit something
groundbreaker yeah good a Wi-Fi if
that's not [ __ ] awesome I don't know
what is go get the pose Roy I've worked
out many years ago that my best angle is
this side so I kind of turn my head that
way like that got a high angle shot
dump it nailed it let's go so we've just
been cycling through the fields outside
of Talca on our way to Kanazawa you know
in Hollywood films when the protagonist
looks at the camera and says is storm
coming well quite literally there is and
yeah thunder lightning rain death
despair it's gonna be horrible so we've
got to really get a move on today we've
got a really powering through because
we've got 20 to 30 kilometers left a
hill to conquer a nasty little hill and
yeah we're gonna have to really [ __ ]
go for it because I don't want to get
caught in a lightning storm it's one of
my worst fears there's like three
recurring nightmares that I have and one
of them is a lightning storm the other
one is Charlotte's face Oh great friend
I have
[Music]
Wow
looks like the looks like the Eye of
Sauron our Lord there is a military
helicopter just randomly at the base of
the tower on a scale of 1 to potential
awesome selfie this is it it feels like
we've just walked into a Soviet military
base or something like it's this is
really random and weird and it was only
ranked 6 on the list of things to do in
fact Alka only six and they've got the
Eye of Sauron and a military helicopter
if somebody told me I'd be taking
selfies in front of the military
helicopter this morning I'll probably
believe them because it seems anything's
possible on this trip more importantly
go get myself in like I think I've got
this one in the bag guys
you think this place it's actually quite
cool I feel bad for making fun of it cuz
usually when you go up to a tower it's
in the middle of the city or something
I've never had a view of the countryside
like this yes every day somebody puts
112 meets hour in the middle of nowhere
it's really in the middle of a bunch of
rice you
come on Charlotte he could do it so my
chain car that's the first time the
chains come off Charlie's a bike expert
so she's gonna fix my bike for me when I
stand here and watch you dad how this
happened you don't know how it happened
we heard the C it couldn't have happened
at a worse place we are in the middle of
nowhere on the outskirts of Kanazawa
City we're already running late okay
through the mountain it's half an hour
quick yeah what's the latest [ __ ] that
was looks like this is gonna be the
latest finish yet she could change the
gear I mean we could just push the bike
up it
this was supposed to be a day of leisure
and excitement it's turning into day of
[ __ ] and horror there not be any [ __ ]
bears up this mountain especially giving
my bikes broken oh god if there are any
bears up here we'll scare them away with
the terrifying face we've got it sounds
like the spokes did you folks that did I
[ __ ] one of the spikes and literally on
Mexico come on hopes to be the bike
expert from Canada
you're not the polychaetes we're from
Canada you were just a person from
Canada I must admit before coming on
this cycle I would have been a good idea
to learn how bikes work imagine if this
just turned into like a video of me
being chased by a bear captured on GoPro
I've already had one accident today I
wasn't gonna tell you guys but I did
actually fall off the bike for the first
time I crashed into a pole
I wasn't looking yeah I'm fine
sounded worse than it was oh yes I think
it's working
I I changed a gear and I it's not making
that noise anymore listen yeah we're
back to business
hi Charla to be honest if I was a bear
this is exactly where I would live which
is a little bit worrying the good news
is I still have the Nintendo 64
controller so if I do have a
confrontation with a bear I will turn
the Nintendo 64 controller
I will weaponize the Nintendo 64
controller and turn it into a makeshift
mace the world's first Nintendo 64
controller mace but hopefully we won't
have to do that because I suspect the
outcome won't be in my favor
all right on to Kanazawa on a barely a
barely operational bike
[Music]
well ladies and gentleman we've made it
to Kanazawa yeah
it's dark it's pitch black it's about
seven o'clock now and the bike change
has been a bit on and off the last few
hours I always read it it's been a tough
shot but it's been a tough day not gonna
lie
hey this looks like a station wow it's
amazing it's like a palace it's like an
absolute palace there's a man waving a
lightsaber as well Darth Vader oh no
it's not it's not Darth Vader it's all
gone running man here running there to
camp at least he's now stopped running
felt like there was a sense of urgency
urgency is quickly dissipated
[Music]
yeah we've finished we've come to a
sushi restaurant to eat a ridiculous
amount of sushi and things awesome we've
still got one more photo left to do we
figured guys that the best place to do
it would be over dinner given that we're
both very tired exhausted we've climb
mountain bikes have broken we've outrun
a storm and we've escaped a bear that
wasn't even there although Charlotte did
hear something in the bush probably a
bear probably time to get the selfie
final selfie before we present to you
our masterpieces three each and I'm
gonna try and make it look like I'm
having fun
like I'm happy when I'm quite obviously
not it's basically what most Instagram
models do oh they'll hate life they're
all miserable but then when the camera
comes out it's a smile okay guys this is
it the moment you've all been waiting
for for the five or six viewers still
here still watching this yeah they're
chosen for you we're now going to show
you our selfies that we took and you are
gonna rank them or vote for which one
you think is best
we're going to name each one of our
photos and then in the comments go ahead
and write the name of your favorite
photo yeah and then we'll see who the
winner is and here's my one this is the
happy Buddha ironic name because my face
but I thought there's a team of two
different characters there but it's a
nice contrast well there you go
I call this one yes as she came in the
gentle sexy man agenda and I call it
that because as we were looking at the
Buddha statue of this Japanese woman
probably in her 40s or 50s walked by it
she was like yes as she came in which
she looked at the Buddha's face that
it's just forever implanted in my mind
it's not yes nobody you hear a Japanese
woman get excited about Buddha at the
high-dynamic-range this is my plaid
diversity sauce this I call this one we
ride at dawn yeah I really lets me in
front of the helicopter it looks like
the helicopters about to eat me or
something that way it's kind of looming
over my over my shoulder part
with that for my favorite one I call
them I wanted the helicopter oh cool
face yeah [ __ ] love bell there was a
helicopter and a bell and I said to
Sharla that I had the helicopter so she
had to have the belt yep
which was very underwhelming and quite
lame to take a selfie but the
underwhelming face captures that well
and the last photo who have you got a
sushi restaurant I call this word
anticipation anticipation of what eating
the sushi because it was really late we
were so hungry and it was finally time
to eat but when you take these damn
selfies can you come to sushi
how can that be good I call this one my
lights better than yours because I'm
clearly really happy because I'm making
sushi that's that's great there you go
so which is your favorite photo guys let
us know in the comments below I'm keen
to name and but that's it for now we're
off to go to bed after a long day of
cycling
I feel iterated my head is like broken
that was definitely the toughest day yep
tomorrow we'll not cycling actually
we're in Serena's hour now and we're
going to be exploring this city just
something I'm looking forward to every
way for a long time for this so we got
that to look forward to but until then
guys thanks for joining us on our
journey across Japan trip and we hope to
see you right back here tomorrow to do
it all over again was his hand weird
[ __ ] that's why fans I'm tired I do
awkward handmade from this ribbon
at what point with somebody think that's
acceptable dish or thing to eat it's not
filming this I don't want the people to
know how greedy I really am enough of
this
