Three German Twitch streamers – Sascha “unsympathischTV” Hellinger, Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris and Maik “Zarbex” – are planning a tour in France. However, some viewers are already disappointed. This is mainly due to the planned route.
What kind of tour is this? From August 16 to 17, 2025, the Twitch streamers MontanaBlack, Sascha Hellinger, and Zarbex are planning a scooter tour in France. In 2 days, they want to cover the distance from Nice to Port Grimaud. That’s a total of 110 km.
The Twitch streamers will not be riding e-scooters, as Trymacs once did on a tour with his colleagues, but rather with motor scooters. The whole event is sponsored by GÖNRGY, MontanaBlack’s beverage brand.
However, some voices in the community have now been raised and expressed criticism.
“It always has to be more”
What is being criticized? The route from Nice to Port Grimaud is a total of 110 km long, which can be covered in about 3 hours. There are two stages of 90 minutes driving time each and one break including overnight stay planned.
However, some people from the community find this too little, and the 2 days seem like too much time. Some comments under a TikTok about the issue complain precisely about this:
- HenryHenings writes: “You can do that in one day by bike…”
- Deanzen says: “2 times 90 minutes? People commute longer than that some days.”
How does Sascha Hellinger react to this? In his podcast Offline + Ehrlich, Sascha Hellinger talks with his podcast colleagues Trymacs and Varion about the topic. At first, the Twitch streamer seems surprised by the criticism from the community when Varion and Trymacs tell him about it.
Then he finds clear words for it: “It has to be dramatic, always more. Isn’t it enough to be somewhere and do a tour together? Does it have to be this kick of ‘Oh God, we have to hope we make it. It’s a livestream, you drive from A to B. Since when is it ‘Yo, the route is too short’? If it’s only about the route for you, then don’t watch the stream. It’s about being elsewhere, being live, and taking the people with you. Since when does it have to be like this? (…) What comes next?” (Source: Spotify from minute 42:30).
Trymacs can also agree with this argument. His previous canoe tour on the Elbe lasted a total of 7 days. At times, the Twitch streamers paddled for hours on end, during which not much happened. So if a tour is longer and more elaborate, it can become boring for the viewers in some sections.
The Twitch streamer Nici Stemmler, the brother of Trymacs, also organized a tour, but with a camper. The start proved to be very difficult, as the camper suddenly broke down.
