This type of artistic approach to video's is starting to get a bit long in the tooth in my opinion… Non-descript music, slow motion climbing, sweating… Time for something new.

I think the exact opposite. These videos expose me to areas of America that I will never have the chance to see, music that I would have never heard (Typhoon, Keegan Dewitt) and now love, and individuals who I would be honored to call my friends. I watch these videos for inspiration, motivation, and for pure enjoyment. Keep them coming and you will have a loyal customer for life!!!

I find the videos to be a refreshing look at cycling every time. And I hope to not see something different as far as the style of the videos is concerned. More, please!

Andy Hampsten is a legend here in Boulder. My first summer out here he beat me up Lee Hill road, one of the pro challenge climbs, on his touring bike with bags attached. He is a legend in American cycling, a stand up dude and still no slouch climbing steep roads!

The videos are great, very well done! I would like to see a few more from the UK - after all we are currently the greatest cycling nation on the planet!

Yes, I saw that video earlier when it was put online and really liked it. Amazing stories from the man himself showing a behind the scenes look into what actually happened that day. A much more personal and documentary approach.
I'll be sure to watch when the full account is put online of the ride with Andy.
Kind regards, Glenn

I'm a great fan of Rapha videos and watch them quite regularly. For some reason, I keep going back to the Victorian Alps video. It has great story telling with cycling specific quotes like "when you have your day and your body says this it, nothing can stop you", cool riding and awesome music.

Please don't change the style or tone of these videos. Much inspiration drawn from them. Stieda's is the best yet and I hope that Hampsten's can be even better.

I love the videos, they have re-ignited my love of cycling, my 2 daughters love them too. So much so that they want to open up a bike shop and just sell Rapha clothing and play the videos all day! They create emotion and are really well produced. Great British company doing something really very well indeed! Thanks Rapha.

Just saw the full length video in 'classic' US Continental style and really liked it. Cycling through beautiful nature and hanging out, enjoying conversation. I must say that that trailer really threw me, as this is not what I was expecting.
Thanks.

Just watched the full film - excellent! Can't get over how little Andy has changed since the 80s. Really enjoyed it, more of this please!
