Cyclo-cross Legends: A Day In The Life Of Sven Nys

[@gcn]

Which of his wins was the most memorable to you? What do you think is the coolest thing about his Cycling Centre in Baal?

[@santiagobenites]

I want to go there someday.

[@jaredknapp6832]

That wicked stair trick! I should try that around my local cyclocross track.

[@maartends6051]

His last win, the WB in Koksijde

[@william6171]

His World Championship gold medal in the USA. (2013) A lot of people (including myself) were saying that he was too old to perform on the highest level and that he had no chance of winning. And yet he proved us all wrong.

[@duncr]

@@maartends6051 Yep the finish was awesome Sven powered through the mud to nose in front of Wout to take victory

[@carlosmamaril328]

Jeremy powers is a good hire for GCN...

[@acyutanandadas1326]

And he speaks English!!!

[@robindt3773]

As a belgian,, I'm very proud we have such amazing cyclists and living icons like Sven Nys. Jeremy and the GCN team did an amazing job to portrait someone that does so much for the sports. LOVE IT!

[@RudiDwiHartanto]

Man imagine how many future superstar started from this camp. Great storytelling, good job GCN and Jeremy

[@gcn]

Thanks Rudi

[@bhumiriady]

Without doubt, this is the best cyclo-cross video that I've ever seen in GCN! Keep up the great work. Hats off to Jeremy and Sven.

[@gcn]

Thanks Omaris

[@bhumiriady]

@@gcn You're welcome!

[@brucelittle1137]

You can hear the energy and passion in Sven Nys voice

[@robinlarner9325]

I see Sven and Jeremy use the same Barber!

[@gcn]

We all visit that barber some day Robin ;)

[@leedorney]

I used wash and went instead of volume enhancer 🤪

[@brauljo]

@@gcn Genetic diversity is a thing tho

[@robinlarner9325]

Indeed! 👏👏

[@MrRoybob]

5:13 "Perfect! He still has it!" Man I got a little nostalgia emotion there. My two favorite cyclocross racers of all time playing on the stairs. Really miss rooting for these guys all winter

[@MyEvolution5]

the passion is still there :-)

[@Lars3]

As a school teacher and a long time Sven Nys fan I've never felt closer to a pro-cyclist. I can completely relate to his desire to pass on what he knows to the next generation. There is something truly satisfying to passing on knowledge to the next generation. Kudos to you Sven (and J-Pow).

[@brianmckeown8931]

how anyone could give this a thumbs down is beyond me WTF are u watching this channel for if u dont enjoy it. Awesome job Jpow keep the vids coming great content ,. I have met both u and Sven on several occasions and u both have been nothing but the real deal. Much love

[@yoshibender]

Two great ambassadors of the sport, thanks for the great video.

[@crnkspinnr5863]

One of the Very best GCN videos so far, Sven has created a great school!

[@mikeghanley]

Great video, gave me goosebumps! Great presenting too JPow, infectious enthusiasm. More please!

[@FreshAyers]

I must say really liking Jeremy's videos! Proving to be be a great addition to the GCN team. 👍🚴😀

[@RogerioMatos80]

Two of my CX idols together making really good work to help our sport grow!! Thanks for all!!

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Jeremy and Sven are kindred spirits in many ways. I could totally see the Jeremy Powers cycling center in Northampton!

[@jgrefrath]

Sven is such an awesome ambassador and inspiration for the sport.

[@larrytanzo4761]

Great show!! Sven is a class act!!! Sweet how you cleared the stairs💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🚵🏻‍♂️💨

[@MJ_Brennan]

Class video. Jeremy has been a brilliant addition to the team. His enthusiasm is perhaps enough to get this old roadie to try cyclo-cross, maybe.....

[@colinthompson5881]

Such an amazing guy, shows a true champion means so much more than winning

[@angelo_d]

So cool to see Sven thriving post-career.

[@R_Haraldsson]

Gravel Cyclocross Network - Helmets and Hats off - Thank you

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

Quote of the day - "I love it". So do we, please more of this good stuff, Thank you Jeremy.

[@MarciusLindner]

Im from Brazil, here there a lot of cyclocross potential but almost no one knows about, I really want to visit this camp,,, maybe part os this can be part bicycle's events here and all aro und the world.. its so important and looks full of love! congrats!! long long life to the Sven Nys Academy!!

[@stevesnailfish]

Jeremy = an excellent presenter...Great addition to the channel (as I've mentioned before).....10/10

[@williampringle1790]

A gathering of Legends, for sure. Jeremy is a major asset to GCN and an inspiration for all of us that love to ride bikes. Keep creating great content like this! 👍

[@gcn]

Thanks William we think he's a real asset to GCN

[@Uliio]

Great to see my fellow countryman on this channel. One of the greatest athlete of our country. He would still do great in competition. Still looks so sharp! Thanks for this video👍

[@williamcoenen8723]

As a native Belgian, it's so funny to continuously hear Jeremy butcher Sven's name. Nys is pronounced like the English word 'ace' with an n in front of it. Other than that minor detail, a very good video from GCN!

[@Geeraffe]

The Dan Lloyd beer academy - now there's an idea.

[@Lars3]

I'll attend

[@chasenegley88]

This is amazing. Great to see the support and infrastructure and it being shared. Thank you.

[@jackiegammon2065]

Always great to see Jeremy and in an incredible setting... WOW!

[@nurmuhammadhanif5092]

It's great to see an old guy like Sven looking forward to having a disc brake bike on the display of champion bikes and having the older population riding e-bikes. He's embracing the future!

[@NinetyTres]

CX season, I love this time of year Keep these coming J-Pow !

[@davidmartin305]

The energy of Sven and Jeremy is infectious, no wonder the kids are super motivated

[@petersauer94]

Absolute brilliant video, and you can tell both have a mutual respect for each other. 👏👏

[@gcn]

Thanks Peter, it was an honour to make the video with Sven

[@itarry4]

Definitely a great thing to see it'd be a brilliant thing for any parents to give their kid who wants to do cycling of any kind a couple of days at this camp.

[@santiagobenites]

Boy, Sven and Jeremy have really let themselves go, huh? Great video, GCN, featuring two absolutely class acts!

[@gcn]

Timeless class eh 😉 We're really proud to have Jeremy on GCN and filming with Sven was awesome

[@anguspetrie7432]

New bucket list place to visit..... also have been loving all of Jeremys videos, great addition to the GCN team!!!

[@01FozzyS]

Great segment on a legend,Jeremy. What a nice guy!

[@GoBala]

Two Champions and great people! Thank you 🙏

[@newttella1043]

Can you imagine any other recently retired LEGEND in any other sport, or even another cycling discipline, giving back everyday like this??

[@liamm8992]

I've started my last two New Years cheering riders through the mud at GP Sven Nys, but never knew of the museum. Must make sure I visit next time.

[@philipaddyman7402]

Fantastic! Especially the evolution of the cx bikes.

[@ronbyers9912]

Great video. It is always inspiring to see a great champion giving back. The kids seem to be having a lot of fun. Jeremy has a good interviewing style.

[@lwittrock1]

Great video! Loved seeing the museum and getting all that history!

[@nigelwood6242]

I could spend all day in that Museum 🤘 What a great thing to do for the CX kids 👏👏👏

[@dpastore22]

That was freaking awesome! US needs to take notes and step up our game!!! JP has been doing a great job and really enjoying his episodes.

[@gcn]

Thanks Dave we think he's a real asset to the channel

[@gareths2ndclass257]

A cycling legend...meets Sven Nys! Great video Jeremy. Looked like you really enjoyed it.

[@CanyonWanderer]

What a hero!, great to see a new generation getting 1st class training from Sven himself!

[@omgitssteven1527]

Amazing video, more of this please !!!

[@vladfromfrance]

What a legend. Immense respect for what he does now.

[@sarafletcher8420]

I’ve been on that course and I think the coolest part is that there’s a restaurant on the course. Well, the coolest part of the course is that you can also ride part of the pro course with its long descent wheeeee!

[@tomwagemans1872]

As a Belgian I just have to like this video. Good job!

[@keithmccallum1054]

Great video Jeremy and once again you hit it out of the park!!

[@bkmontgomery]

I only learned about cross a couple years ago (thanks GCN), so I love these videos that dig into its history. Just wish stuff like this camp was more prevelant in the US 30 years ago 😅

[@coconutlens]

please do more of this kind of video, its very educational, love it 😍

[@walshman70]

Such a great video Jeremy! Nice one. We need more of this "the fabric of cycling culture" type of content... There's only so many videos one can watch about the latest aero gains! For me, this is WAY more interesting...

[@andreaonyoutube9560]

So good! Added to the euro bucket list! Great video GCN!

[@sjoerdvisser76]

Not a win, but a very memorable moment was when Sven Nys gave up his second place in the general classification at the 2012 Azencross to stop and confront a spectator who was throwing beer at him each lap for a total of 7 laps. He could have snapped, but didn’t. Great sportmanship.

[@sskus01]

Awesome !! So much spirit and motivation 🙏🏻🚴🏻🚴🏻💪🏻👍

[@2001MBKBooster]

One of the best videos GCN has made. Great story. Great cinematography. Great subject. Great humour. Quick Question: Does Sven offer lessons for middle-age wannabe cyclocross participants? (Asking for a friend)

[@robertsonfamilyfarm9126]

Awesomeness for the kids future of the sport we can learn so much

[@nstrug]

Love those ideas for explosively training! Will be trying them out with the kids I coach this afternoon.

[@FlyDreamEcuador]

Wow he is so full of energy, no wonder all these wins!

[@RockinMTBer]

Loved this! Learned a lesson too. Look for the alternative line where it may not be obvious.

[@chrisko6439]

What a great video! What a great and loving man!

[@davidchatham3686]

Thank you for the excellent and inspiring video!

[@davidide1525]

Jeremy is a great addition to GCN.

[@gcn]

thanks David we think so too !

[@julen2380]

Wow, Sven really was super relaxed. And Jeremy was as awesome as ever. Looking at the other comments - it might be time to introduce JAM Fund to clarify that Jeremy has been at the "support the next generation"-bit at least as long as Sven. ;)

[@shaungreen6967]

Another classy video from Jeremy.

[@gcn]

Thanks Shaun, we loved making this and Sven was great to work with

[@do4511]

Dude thats superb editing! Two Jeremys at the same time!'😆

[@mirceaandreighinea]

J-POW you are great. thank you for the video! (looked at it especially because of you) best regards! ;-)

[@bobfrode]

Sven must be you brother from another mother :) cool video btw, nice to see so much passion :)

[@codyscott2718]

Amazing video! Well worth the watch!

[@TDF86]

So...The Jeremy Powers Cycling Center? I’ll send my kids there.

[@walterramos1054]

A beautiful video thanks GCN

[@terryjordon8429]

Awesome segment!

[@jaredknapp6832]

Nice video. That stair trick was awesome Sven!

[@gcn]

It's much harder than Sven made it look 😅

[@scaramar88]

Great production!

[@william6171]

14:17 is so pure.

[@poststuff2]

Great guy! Nice video Jeremy.

Best museum ive ever seen

[@dennisuerling899]

5:26 Extremely Belgium selection on tap. :)

[@petinka721]

Two legends!

[@gcn]

Two legends!

[@neon3690]

Never really thought about how revolutionary clipless pedals would been for CX back in the day.

[@batmanmeow5307]

How can i like this vid multiple times?

[@DonutEndurance]

Time to start planning a vacation to Belgium!

[@markkern9263]

What an inspiration!!

[@willemniehorster9836]

Great video of a great man! Thanks!

[@pstizz23]

I need to go there, great video!!!

[@leedorney]

Well this is just fantastic !

[@MyEvolution5]

@global cycling network - maybe you could ask Sven to produce an english version of the documentary of his last year ("het laatse jahr" ?) ??

[@ChanceBarber]

This is excellent.

[@tomasmcenery5905]

Brilliant video, this is what the world needs, investing in kids, there is nothing more worthwhile
