Welcome back to another talk through um this time around I’m here to talk to you about spent 2 since did the last video uh it’s got hell of a lot colder in the office so I’ve got the radio perform full work I’ve got my beanie on and I’ve
Got my coat on however can’t complain because it’s not raining for the first time in what feels at like eight years in the UK so that’s quite nice we got Christmas obviously which I hope everyone managed to get their copies of the yearbooks on time uh and if you
Didn’t now are still available maybe you even got a copy of this in your stocking who knows that would have been pretty cool though now this one’s going to be a bit different because I’m not going to run through all of it because there’s as you can
See quite a lot to get through I don’t want to take up all your time as I know everyone’s very busy these days but I’m going to give you a run through of spent 2 all that’s got packed into it well not all of it but some of it and why to be
Honest I think it’s quite a lot of our favorite books so as as always well I say as always I’ve only done two of these things I should give you the stats so it’s 516 Pages thick it’s 112 by oh no it’s 112 by 148 by 35 mil
Of book and that’s 7 mil wider than spent one it’s pocket sized is I’ve got popet there pocket tin in that’s there we go it’s uh why is that done that it have to be a big pocket being unfairness but it is pocket size is the cover is from svan Martin there Amory
Piron on there you can see little bit of sunlight which I think is from Death grp 2 this thing is filled to the brim with stuff pictures writeups galleries you name it’s in their bike checks we’ve got all sorts there’s a word search about that interviews uh little them film teasers
There’s some QR codes in there as well um it’s one of the my favorite Pages which is so very accurate um from John Gregory there there’s even a barcode I’m not really sure that’s for but all of that for 16 quid you think about that I don’t know
How much a magazine is this disc actually how much is a magazine I like a five or six Sid that’s a lot more than a magazine and it fits in your pocket basically what I’m going to do is I think probably the best idea is just
Flick through I’m not going to do it in any particular order because there’s too much to get through but I’ll just flick through if I find some stuff that’s cool which all of it is obviously then I will show it to you so let’s start with a deeper dive into
The engine inside the anill film’s latest production written by Daisy Madson very cool Gallery just going through with a bit of a rer basically all about how people use bikes around the world and how they help change lives which is pretty incredible considering we just majority of the time use them
For fun or getting around to work and stuff that’s pretty cool a car Wy for so that’s pretty impressive a human on a bicycle could ride 960 miles on the same amount of energy that goes into moving a car 20 miles pretty insane throughout next one there a Views Little
Interview with Nigel paage pager as you might know oh double Everest thing that’s a good one Ben Hill Greg look into incredible thing that the M blo did I remember having a chat with him on Instagram and he said that by the end of it he was seeing doors on the

Photos on film as well which is pretty amazing and then some amazing stuff keep saying amazing the absolute wizard that is John Greer has been let loose on this book and it’s just incredible to see what he gets up to his creativity is just seems to have no no end Chris H
From D podcast this St King rally last year and he did a write up uh with photos from Sven Martin and the write up consists of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 n 10 10 words but he sums up I think perfectly having not done it myself but having

Mental there’s so much all of that all of that for 16 quid they just about to co off spent 2.0 but as you can see it is not as you can see it’s not a big book we launched this in the summer well actually wasn’t really summer it was
September when we did like a soft launch at the Le popup which is pretty cool so we people come in and actually buy it and it was pretty sick nice PE meet people and talk about it as well talk to some of the contributors as well and
Some of the athletes are in it and it seems go out really well and people really like it uh it’s still a mixed bag on whether people like the size or not I personally think it’s pretty cool again it’s nice to have in the hand it’s
Really nice because you can just sort of you can read a little bit here a little bit there oh sorry missed that one it’s a great bit of clay porteran Martin Bren dog SL Amry Pon SL just red it’s a really bad thing to have on your desk though because it’s very
Distracting um cuz you just pick it up here and there and just end up getting caught in it and not really doing anything else um specifically work but yeah I love it in the back forgot about it we’ve got a list of other stuff you go and check out so there’s magazines
Photography books religious texts history pretty sick so that’s kind of the size and there’s the thickness as well these are still available on our website 16 PS as say get again I’m sorry to anyone who doesn’t live in the UK cuz I still haven’t got up to date with my
Euros but 16 quid it’s a thing about riding byes are fun the 20122 to 2023 Edition uh and as it rightfully says on the back it’s two years in one so it’s a bargain the same old story you can add it to a bundle you can do whatever you
Want with it as I say in all the other videos thank you to every single person that has helped contribute can’t say contribute contribute to the books because they’re insane um as you can see there’s a very long list down there um so if he paus it he can read them all

Spent one sold out in seconds it was a lot of seconds but still seconds yeah there so much good stuff but yes there are going to be some more of these on the way not necessarily our products either there might be some looks at other people’s stuff which would be
Quite cool but yeah I will be back with some more videos again I can only apologize uh it’s only what I’ve been asked to do so I’m going to keep doing them until I get told to stop but until then have a good one
