    King of Chaos | Ultra Cycling’s Unlikely Hero: Justinas Leveika | Banff Mountain Festival Finalist



    4088 miles and 25 days of racing over 3 of the world’s biggest bikepacking races. The Tour Divide, Colorado Trail, and Arizona Trail make up the Triple Crown. Often seen as the holy grail of bikepacking races, the Triple Crown is a badge of honor for even the hardiest of bike riders. Follow as he, Jusinas Leveika, fully cements himself in the cycling history books.

    Meet the King of Chaos, one of the best racers and biggest personalities from the world of bikepacking. Always pushing at the pointy end and never failing to crack a smile. But what does it take to dig so deep?

    Set against the backdrop of Justinas’s attempt at the Triple Crown, we dive into his motivation, backstory, and infectious attitude for life. With one goal in mind, “kicking ass”. He aims to race the Tour Divide, Colorado Trail, and Arizona Trail in one calendar year.

      Came back to rewatch this one again, and it must be said again, Justinas and his accomplishments both on and off the trail are amazing. This video was so well done in capturing his achievements and his wonderful quotes and that infectious laugh he has and approach to life. This video will be on repeat in my rest day playlist forever! Following and inspired by his journey!

      Just had a google about Mike Hall, awsome guy. Also if anyone is interested the guy who killed him with his car is now in jail for paedophilia 😬

      Wow, what a cracking good story about the absolute all-round King of ultra racing. I watched a doco before this by Payson McElveen crossing Iceland and he said ultra racers deserve so much more credit and recognition for their achievements and he's spot on. Good to see Justinas has found love now too. Looking forward to seeing how he goes in the Tour Te Waipounamu that starts tomorrow in New Zealand. Inspirational stuff. 🤠

      I think these stories would be better if people were just left alone to do their stuff and not make a video about everything

      I can find myself just as easy on a 200 mile audax as I can sitting with my wife having a nice coffee and cake

      After all that seems a decent guy
      Just leave him alone

      In the Colorado Trail Race he busted a rim, tried to ride it, walked to trailhead, got a ride, fixed it, got a ride back, put the bike back together THEN finished 10 hours before the next guy. Insane.

      This is inspirational. What an underrated sport. The level of focus and dedication required to just finish one of these yet alone win all of them is insane. I love this.

      I really like the way he talks, he seems to be someone to actually listen to. Some of the very simple things he says are almost important to think about. Eg: his take on his duty at work, was very well said. Respect to all the people who do these races, unreal

    47. @hebectabetpa1767 on

      I think he physically beats he's competitors and when rides without the competition, that's why he's nose is always bleeding, there is no other explanation how to win with such gaps…

      What a lad. The ending from 33:48 is also insanely accurate. Life is about figuring out what's important to YOU and then focusing on it. It can be travel, family, your company, whatever, just focus on what truly matters to you and makes you content and happy.
