Hi Jasper, I'm a fan of yours. I was wondering if you might consider sharing some tips or guidelines for those of us looking to improve our riding skills, especially for epic races. It would be fantastic to learn from someone with your experience. Thanks!
@@findtherightbeathi mate. You can consider joining the Mallorca cycling camp! That’s basically one long clinic all week! Sharing everything I know as much as I can.
@@jasperverkuijl I’d love to join the Mallorca cycling camp, but I won’t be able to get away for a whole week as I need to take care of some family members at the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my message. Congrats on the new baby!
Well done Sami. Awesome effort Bro. You both rode fantastic. So so strong, full gas every day. Mind blowing 🤯 Thanks for sponsoring the team and making this video possible. Hopefully we'll see you partner up with Jasper again! Stay safe, ride hard! 🤙🏻
Jasper, you're an amazing film maker! This is seriously the most real, interesting and educational cycling content on youtube. I loved every minute of it, thank you so much!
This is by far the most realistic portrayal of just how hard the epic is. Thank you so much for sharing this and for inspiring us. Congratulations on being a father. A champ is born.
Jasper, you are a pilot, a family man, a great strong cyclist, and now you are becoming Steven Spielberg with a 2 and a half hour video! Thanks for always keeping me entertained, looking forward to your next video #cyclingfanatics see ya! 🤟🙌
By far(t) the best fun watching your MTB videos (cheers to your kids, mine would suggest the same :D) ! First I thought this would be to long of a video for me, typically just sqeezing in the occoasional 20 to 40 minute youtube video in the evenings. But i came back the 3rd evening now defenetly wanting to watch this all the way to the end. It's all epic: the pictures, the story, the challenge, the suffering. Epic! Many thanks for taking us along! (cracking on from 1:20:00 here ;-)
1:49:01 This fistbump with the mascotman, it says all about you, Jasper. No matter how hard the day, how bad you feel, there seems to be this extra space in you that can still give it another push, one more smile and a piece of happiness to others. Thanks, very inspiring. All the best to you and your family!
Wow, Jasper and Sami! Well done on your race! Was worth the wait. Goosebumps at the haute route docu, and again goosebumps at this production! What a race, stages and movie you made, just awesome! Now enjoy the family and will folow at your next adventure! See yaa✊🏻
OMG, what an incredible achievement you've accomplished in South Africa and what an amazing movie (enjoyed watching for 2 times now). I have been following you since the BBC with the broken chain and I always look forward to your next feed. So I have been waiting for this SA film for a while. Keep up the pace 🤙🏻
Goosebumps for at least an hour+ watching this. You showed some proper dedication and it payed off. Also great a companion Sam to do this challenge with and arranging the best accomodation possible (which is needed!). that on itself is challenge. Many many kudos!
Jasper for someone who trained on flat roads mostly in the Netherlands, you descended like a Beast. Well done to you and Sami, my favourite cycling video and a channel I'm looking forward to following.
Thanks! 👍 Awesome mate! Welcome to the channel and the cycling fanatics community! I’ve got some other Mtb races too and plenty of fast descending stuff! You’ll like those!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Also did the Cape Epic this year and this was amazing to see all the routes again! Loved the video. Made me miss my MTB again. Well done with your race, excellent legs you guys had! It was super tough!
Finished in one go, glad I’m not the only one that hates those rocks 😵💫 Didn’t realise you were that fast to be mixing it up with those riders, crazy result for your first time on those trails 👏🏼💪🏼
I've only watched up to the end of stage 1, but I'm very impressed with the quality of this video. Very good video, editing, voice over, explanation of what's going on, what your plans are, how it feels to ride that hard. It's a really good way to see what riding the Cape Epic is like.
This is by far the best documentary I saw on cycling! Massive respect for you and all of the contestants of this awesome race! Also congratulations for you, your wife and your 2 boys with the birth of your daughter/sister! Looking forward for some more epic video's! 🤟
Wat ontzettend gaaf gemaakt man! Zelf ook gereden dit jaar en krijg dat gevoel weer helemaal terug. Lastig om aan andere mensen uit te leggen hoe zwaar het is, maar wat heb jij mooi vastgelegd. Wat een emoties in zo'n week. Erg sterk gereden!
Hey man I just found your channel, this is my first time watching one of your videos and I´m just in complete awe. By FAR the best MTB video I´ve seen in my life. I´m glad I found your channel and I´m glad I found about the Cape Epic race, so thank you for this. I just can´t express it enough, I´ve literally had dreams where I´m riding trails like this ones in the video, South Africa and all the trails just look breathtaking. Congrats on the third place, you and Sami are BEASTS. New fan, greetings from Monterrey, Mexico and blessings to you and your family 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Super cool man thanks a lot. Welcome to the channel and the cycling fanatics community 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I have some more Mtb video from the past, you’ll like those too!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Amaaazing video! What an adventure! I looked up Virta because despite being an avid cyclist for the past six years, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three years ago. I’m excited to give Virta a try. Congratulations on breaking the 100K sub milestone. You deserve it an so much more!
Amazing footage,some of those trails look amazing,can see why so many people want to compete at the epic. Thanks Jasper and huge congrats to you and Sami, massive achievement.
Jasper and Sam, bravo! I watched every second of this video and absolutely loved it. Incredible journey, epic scenery, brilliant riding. Sending you much love from New York!
Absolutely crazy. Insane how you manage everything (family, job, training, content, races...) thanks for your efforts and letting us participate. Chapeau!
So freaking good! Amazing job putting this together Jasper! 🙏And congrats on finishing the Epic race and supercongrats on the other EPIC new chapter!!🤙
Absolutely insane race. You are a long way from the Southern California Crit Scene. Well done! You countinue to inspire the 80+ kilo cycllists out there. Congrats on the little Princess 👸
Wow! The effort, energy, story, music, entertainment and humanity which has gone into this is outstanding. Thanks Jasper. Also I believe you mentioned putting together further videos together of the footage gathered. Will look forward to that for those turbo sessions. Cheers 🤙
Initially I completly missed that you were going to the Cape Epic, but then I couldnt wait to see the much awaited content. Amazing result and great content. Kudos to you both, and congratulations on the baby gilr!!
Jasper, you’re such an inspiration for all of us cycling fanatics dads!!! I have no words! Thanks brother for sharing all of this epic content with us!!!
Only when you are in races like this you can understand how it’s really like. And that’s what I try to bring to you. They will never be able to show on a regular broadcast because they only show general stuff
Jasper, you've outdone yourself! Really like this big events and your editing reached a level making it very entertaining and effortless to watch. And congrats on the 3rd place and your daughter.
Great content as always. I had the pleasure of training with Sami in San Francisco for a couple of years during his Iron Man days. I thought I recognized him from your Haute Route videos, so I was excited to see him again here. He’s an amazing dude. And you two clearly make an awesome team. Congrats!
Great vlog documentary of one of the hardest MTB races in the world, great results on a daily basis even though you were not 100% for the first couple of days. Fantastic effort from you both with great team work working well together, Sam is also a beast of a rider by the way. Well done for the podium finish, looking forward to next years, and congratulations to you and your wife for the arrival of your daughter.
What a video and story!! Firstly congratulations having a baby and then congratulations from Finland for finishing the race and podium place for both of you.
Thanks! This year I don’t plan to. It was too much pressure with the newborn etc to plan proper training. Sami is racing with a different partner this year. Maybe next year!
