Two a-holes who both need to go away and never be heard from again.

Eh. Jake Paul, in my opinion, is way more of a problematic figure than VC. Donât really want to dive into it but feel free the sleuth his Wikipedia page, specifically Controversies and Legal Isses.
VC has a loud personality and is definitely a âbroâ which I can see being not everybodyâs cup of tea but I have been enjoying his series documenting his ride through the American West Coast. He seems like a chill guy, albeit goofy and out there.

Lance was the second a-hole in my post, not VC.

Junk Miles very much made out VC was like JakeâŚ
My apologies!
As I understood it - he literally rode a few seconds on the trail, saw the sign prohibiting it, got off and walked from there. A waste of everyoneâs time prosecuting this - but thatâs what our government is all about - wasting time and money.

The guy is an absolute knob imho.
During Climb 2 Kaiser (which is not a race) this year his âmedia carâ almost got into a head on collision while filming for him, putting the entire group in danger.
Some jail time would be proper karma for this individual

Lance is the goat, EPO doesnât dull the pain.
This is such an annoying criticism, honestly people will complain if you give them a solid gold rolex these days. You bet your ass this guy posting spent a good hour going through the video to look at footage of himself⌠You want the content, VC makes the content, donât complain about risks Iâm sure it wasnât as dangerous as you suggested in your post.

Were you there? Seems a fair comment (you can call it criticism if you want) from someone who was presumably there and participated. The person didnât totally slag on VC, but certainly pointed out that his actions and methods to get content perhaps impacted the race of others. Seem like that would be âannoyingâ to me.
I guess I say this as I have seen VC take some mild, yet annoying risks in a race that I was in with him. The dude was riding 1 handed with a selfie stick outstretched in the very early parts of Unbound 200 when the road was packed side to side with hundreds of racers with nervous energy and fresh legs. I had already seen at least 10 crashes. Luckily for all, nothing happened. But I donât feel like him creating content gives him any sort of pass for impacting the race of others.

Nor did I say anything about him cheating.
I respect your opinion, I guess as a non resident of california where racing is in fact almost fully dead itâs difficult to take someone complaining about someone else doing extra, when in fact that is what the sport needs to survive.
The bad ending is not when there are so many influencers in your local gravel race that itâs annoying or dangerous. The end is much more sad when nobody shows up and the race is canceled.

VC or any other content creator, no matter how wide their reach has any right to create dangerous conditions on course just so they can make a cool video.
It is perfectly possible to make good content without putting their fellow racers in danger and doing so just shows that they care more about content then the well being of those they are racing against.
