The Oompa Loompa's
Oompa Loompa Cycling
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about road cycling and bicycles during my younger days. I started out mountain biking and road cycling back in 2010 during my university days. I noticed that the YouTube space for bike reviews was often biased and filled with sponsored content, which didn't sit right with me. I wanted to provide an honest and unbiased perspective for fellow cyclists who were looking for reliable information about bikes. So, I started out by interviewing my friends and their bikes, and that's how my YouTube journey began. It's been an incredible journey so far, filled with growth and evolution. I am constantly learning new techniques and refining my craft and sharing my love for cycling with others.

Gang Yi - Chief Editor/Producer
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the man who can slice and dice footage with the precision of a ninja - Gang Yi! Not only is he the main editor and producer for the channel, but he's also a cycling fanatic who can ride his bike with one hand while tweaking video transitions with the other.
But wait, there's more! Gang Yi is not just any ordinary video editor. He's also an aviation geek, which means he's equally obsessed with flying as he is with editing. So, when he's not cycling, he's probably up in the air, dreaming of all the awesome aerial footage he could capture for the next video.
But don't let his cool demeanor fool you - this guy is a force to be reckoned with. He oversees the rest of the editors like a boss and comes up with amazing ideas for our videos that leave us scratching our heads in wonder.

Victor - Editor
Introducing the one and only Victor, the cycling video editor extraordinaire! When he's not spinning his wheels on the road, he's spinning his magic in the editing room. Some say he can edit a video while riding a bike, and others say he's never seen without his trusty camera strapped to his helmet. All we know is, he's the guy you want on your team if you're looking to create jaw-dropping cycling videos. With the speed and precision of a Tour de France cyclist, he can slice and dice footage like a pro, and add those little touches that take a video from good to epic.

Jarno de Lacy (JD) - Discord Manager
Introducing the one and only JD - the Discord master and the self-proclaimed "aero" aficionado! But don't let his love for all things "aero" fool you - we're still trying to figure out if he's actually aero or if it's just a figment of his imagination. He's not just a tech whiz, though. JD has a great sense of humour and is always up for a good laugh. In fact, he was featured on one of our interview episodes, and his wit and charm had us in stitches. He's the life of the party, and we're lucky to have him on our team.
"Loves cycling and aerodynamics. Passionate about things and loved fighting with Caleb. Wishes to serve the needs of our Discord members. Current ride organiser and former Bike Sitters Podcast member."
YG (Bloo) - Discord Admin
Say hello to YG, also known as Bloo in our Discord community - the man who keeps the peace and makes sure everything runs smoothly! Not only is he a top-notch moderator who knows how to handle any situation with ease, but he's also an avid cyclist with a SEKA and a Standert gravel bike. He's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything cycling-related, and he's always happy to share his insights with others. But that's not all - YG is also a great guy to hang out with. He's always up for a ride and loves exploring new routes and trails. He's a true adventurer at heart and never shies away from a challenge.
He's the go-to guy if you need someone to keep the peace and make sure everyone plays nice. With his SEKA and Standert gravel bike by his side, he's always ready to take on the world and help others do the same.

Bastjan (Flyingdagger) - Discord Admin
Introducing Bastjan, also known as Flyingdagger on Discord - the man of mystery! Nobody knows his true identity, and some say he works for Food Panda as a delivery man, while others think he's just a collector of bikes who never rides them. But one thing's for sure - he's one of the most interesting characters you'll ever meet. I had the pleasure of interviewing Bastjan on one of our episodes, and he brought along a one-of-a-kind Time Scylon that costs a whopping S$30,000. As you can imagine, we were all blown away by the bike's beauty and craftsmanship. But what impressed us even more was Bastjan's vast knowledge of bikes and cycling. He's a true expert who knows everything there is to know about bikes, from the most obscure components to the latest trends in cycling. But despite his love for bikes, Bastjan remains a man of mystery. Some say he's a collector who never rides his bikes, while others claim he's a professional cyclist who prefers to keep a low profile. Whatever the truth may be, one thing's for sure - Bastjan is a fascinating character who adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to our community. Just be prepared for the unexpected, as you never know what surprises he has in store.
