[@markenrega4191]

Jasper, that is one of the most epic cycling videos I’ve seen. Totally inspirational. Beautifully edited. Absolutely top notch! Thank you for taking us on your ride and congratulations to you. See ya!

[@bengt_axle]

Agreed. How many KZbinrs, let alone cyclists can ride at that level (including road racing), produce such high quality videos...and land a 747? I vote this best cycling video of 2019.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks man! Great compliment!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Only 1, I’m pretty sure!

[@drewcama5481]

You rode with Marianne Vos.... I almost cried. Congratulations on the hill climb.

[@paraglide01]

Amazing, riding with one hand while filming and talking into the camera during a uphill race. Respect Jasper.

[@jasperverkuijl]

That’s the skill of a cycling vlogger!!;););) 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@TheSoulvation]

So worth the wait! amazing video and editing. And for a sprinter to set this time... dude you where flying up that mountain!

[@nosiestaguiding]

one thing is for sure, you are as good at editing outstanding videos as you are at riding your bike. Fan-friggin-tastic dude. My vote for the BEST BIKE VIDEO of the year right here!!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Awesome!! Thanks man! Get the word out!

[@nosiestaguiding]

@@jasperverkuijl You bet buddy!

[@docteejay]

this is what cycling is all about....having FUN while enduring pain & suffering! Nice video, Jasper!

[@jasperverkuijl]

🙏

[@Requiredfields2]

Passes Marianne Voss, "I'm feeling great! I'm feeling freaking amazing!"

[@Requiredfields2]

@ Marianne Vos is no joke. Although I disagree with your pompous assessment of women's cycling as well.

[@boris4489]

Dennis Haberl Jepsen females have at least 25% less muscle. You can’t compare men and women.

[@zakariaoog9970]

That was legendary maaaan !! Thank you jasper for taking as with you along this beautifull adventure !!🤙🤙🤙

[@ianhutchinson970]

Chapeau Jasper. This is by far the best Taiwan KOM vlog I have seen so far. Awesome job dude.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Cool!! Cheers!

[@Alex-gt2yh]

So crazy that you keep talking while climbing the whole way XD great vlog again enjoying the whole KOM series!

[@jasperverkuijl]

When only when the camera was rolling huh hahaha. The rest it was focus!!!

[@mikebultje7669]

Jasper, thanks for posting this series of videos - it was amazing!!! Your best work yet IMO. I have watched other content from other riders and yours is by far and away the very best. Well done and serious congratulations!!!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!!

[@robertm1552]

I was sweating just watching this on the couch!

[@joellee8400]

Great Video Jasper! If you want a bit longer challenge, come to the Assault on Mt Mitchell in the US. Normally held in May! 103 miles total. 26 of the last 28 miles are all climbing! Enjoy!

[@simmer484]

I punched the air when you crossed the line. Great editing and what an event wow!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hahaha how cool is that!

[@p.g.reitsma7245]

Great fun to watch this! Just became a subscriber today. Your coverage and dialogue are very good.. Just the right amount of information and great shots of the country, and your passion really shines through! I started watching your first mtb race coverage at the Grizzly 100, and now it's 4 hours later and I'm still having fun watching your events! So, big heartfelt greetings from Alberta Canada from the son of a Dutchman! All the best.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks a lot!! Makes me happy you find this entertaining, cheers!!!🤙🤙🤙

[@stuartdryer1352]

Who knew your insane descending skills would be so helpful on a hill climb?

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hahaha. Always make up whenever you can!;)

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

An epic challenge and a stunning edit. Uplifting ! Inspiring! Congratulations on an amazing climb Jasper ✊💪

[@gordon0828]

[@pbarr1935]

Mind blowing logistics. You mention what it took to make this happen but the words really don't do it justice. Great job pulling this off and I mean everything! not just the race. Very KEWL!! Jasper!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah man this was a crazy trip! Straight back to work the day after I got back in holland!

[@bubbachua]

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah me too mate. I'm sorry but it's all result of the pandemic. BUT, i just finished haute route Dolomites, a 5 day stage race that went insanely good so stay tuned for that!!!🔥

[@johnboywatson]

Hi Jasper, loved your mini series 💯💯, looking forward for your next suffer festival. I have to get used to your white helmet 🤔. Killer video’s.... keep it up Jasper 🤙🤙

[@josephg0905]

One of the best vids on Taiwan KOM!!! Super dedication and commitment.

[@jasperverkuijl]

[@Fred_Nice]

Dude, when you got to the top and got your medal I almost started crying. That was AWESOME. CLIMBING FANATICS!!!!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Me to man!! That’s the feeling of accomplishment!! Awesome!

Dude!! insane series of videos, you really rock it!! congratulations!!

[@zacharysmiles1308]

Congrats Jasper!!! Great video. The fella at minute 15, was so chipper!!!

[@hanskoot6254]

The footage is crazy. I have to remember myself you do all this yourself whilst keeping up with some very fast cyclists.

[@tomnix8194]

Great documentary about your effort.... It reminds me on the Dolomitenlauf- a tradicional Nordic ski event.... Some of the pros are there (incl. their service team) and it is on you to decide about how happy you are with the place in the ranking if you compete....

[@khaki.shorts]

Great editing, music choice, commentary and story telling Jasper. Amazing!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Cheers

[@garywhite6900]

[@lisashiela9137]

𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻 was praising the helicopter pilot who medevacked him the final 34k's up to the top, "𝐪𝐮𝐨𝐭𝐞", the Iv's were amazing and helped alleviate some of the pain on the ride to the finish.

[@El_Ultimo_Kilometro]

Great and incredible ride !! Congratulations👍🏻 Well done!!

[@donjagoe]

That was an awesome effort, result and video!!!

[@vinne999]

JV - your videos are really climbing up, like the KOM ... awesome footage and very compelling dialogue. Inspiring!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Dope! Thanks!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Cheers

[@nosiestaguiding]

OK that was cool - fantastic intro!

[@winstoncat6785]

Come and do some German Cycling Cup events next year. Also a huge buzz, with some spectacular courses. And huge participation.

[@ChristianNorling]

I'm so inspired from watching your videos! Been sick for a week but finally I feel 90% OK. I wanna go for a ride so bad but I sold my bike yesterday and my new one arrives today or tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT! 💪🏻

[@jasperverkuijl]

Good luck!

[@cosmiccedric]

That was really fun to watch! Inspiring! Excited to hop on my bike again!

[@dewnyc]

Maven also did a great video, about a slightly different experience at the same event. He does mention something being destroyed lol.

[@jayshockey5461]

[@raivkka4313]

[@jasperverkuijl]

🙏🙏🙏

[@rinonhoxha4059]

Enjoyed Every Second of it. Legacy. Bravo!

[@garthly]

Great achievement! Clearly a lot of great people, famous and not. Congrats!

[@Downdotloader]

I think we take for granted how hard it is to ride on such a road and still record the ride on camera like you do. Great work man 👏👏👏

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hahaha yeah it’s become second nature For me so I don’t think about it but I guess it is!!😅 Thanks!

[@robertm1552]

Vos, Vos, Vos, epic 1yr plus viewing again.

[@jasperverkuijl]

🤙🤙🤙

[@JamesBoz]

Congratulations and thanks for a great series! You've given my 82kg ass some reassurance that I too can get up this mountain (maybe not under 4 hours!). Definitely high on the bucket list. Would be interesting to see how your recovery went. See YA!!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

I was recoveted really fast. My form was on point that day!!

[@عبدالعزيزالواصل-ص6س]

18:50 great shot man!

[@diccram]

Absolutely awesome. Your videos are inspiring.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!

[@leftymadrid]

Dude, you are in shape!!!!! This is a total epic adventure, love how you challenge yourself... Well done indeed, that last part was "to die for, literally" and YOU powered through to the very end :-) Thx for taking all of us with you on this epic ride! Personally I would not even had the strength to hold the camera up after the first 1/4 of the climb...

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks man! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Techno98Rocker]

Awesome Video. This motivates me soooo much. Keep on doing awesome stuff Jasper!

[@jasperverkuijl]

🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@MartinOroszi]

Maven must have thought its a ride for beers! Good job for you Jasper.

[@anthonyhomercycling]

I’m super excited how an 82kg (but very fit!) dude would do, but man you really smash it !! You are an inspiration (to 82kg dudes 😉) this video is in my favorites! For next year again! Bruno as well is gonna come back ha! Sub four ! Those Blue jerseys you were riding with. Was my teammates 😉. Will need to stick to their wheel next year. And vlog just a little 😆 got caught out of the back after that left turn. 😜 1:54 that’s me by the way guys. Jasper Verkuijl is the man!! 🤙🏼

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks bro!

[@paulvanderheyden7373]

That was the best! Suggest the Tour of the California Alps, also known as the Death Ride.

[@ColinCharles3D]

Awesome Jasper, congrats on the achievement !

[@nathanvandieren4245]

Beste video die ik ooit heb gezien 👌🏼 Goed gedaan en gefeliciteerd 🎉

[@allthingsTechrelated]

Epic. Your descending skills are awesome and you climb very well. Kudos on your achievement.

[@KristianeLim]

man you are super super strong (for someone who doesnt specialize on climbing.. the one in 11:08 with a green-ish jersey and a specialized tarmac disc is our National Champion. He is using that race as part of his training for the Southeast Asian Games. unfortunately for him, his tire blew in the Bilu trea area and had to repair his tire using a chocolate bar, twice.. he still did finish waaaaayyy ahead of me. haha.. good video!

[@benjaminlin8386]

like the quote, "the bigger challenge, the bigger accomplishment"!

[@jasperverkuijl]

That’s it!!

[@caseylmanuel]

Love the videos lately, man. Look forward to more.

[@jimmy229]

Bravo Jasper 👏 brilliant ride. These are ur best videos. U made up serious ground downhill you have balls of steel roll on ur next challenge wherever that is I'll be watching friend from Ireland👍

[@jasperverkuijl]

Downhill is the best bit! Too bad we took the car back down hahaha

[@TarmoVannas]

Good job! You were just in time to capture me crossing the finish line on your camera haha ;)

[@prebbe]

Awesome video Jasper💪🏻🚴😊

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!

[@stacybarbadillo29]

Dude--you freakin' beat Marianne Vos!!! That's nuts--CONGRATS on a top 50 finish and sub 4-hour time!!! You're definitely my hero!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Cheers Stacy!!

[@tonycrispin]

This has been an awesome series and what an epic race!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!

[@lukarus9697]

Great intro jasper!

[@krisbowditch827]

Superb time 🥵🔥🔥🔥 smashed it 💪

[@lisashiela9137]

Friggin awesome videography.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!

[@durianriders]

Great footage. Baffles me why people wear under shirts and sleeves on an UPHILL TT in the tropics!! Ive lived in Thailand and tested this many times - sleeveless jersey or no jersey is the fastest up any climb because you stay cooler. Just rock sunscreen on shoulders if you might get burnt. Disc brakes for an uphill TT...don't get me started! xD

[@jasperverkuijl]

Because it was cold. Pretty simple reason. However why people where all packed up with leg sleeves and long jerseys.... a bit overkill indeed.

[@jpb13]

great video and performance, was a pleasure to watch and cant wait for more similar content.

[@69pslim]

Man you killed it, one hell of a job you did.

[@theblackjungle]

Thanks for all videos, thats epic

[@Raducanu983]

Hi Jasper, best Video you ever made (so far).. keep riding 🤙

[@LeonidKolomiytsev]

That was epic, love it! Thanks for sharing ;)

[@realestate-s2z]

Awesome video series. Well done!

[@MrArifjack]

Epic stuff! Grats mate!

[@bjornporsche5310]

Thanks for your videos, you inspire me every time more and more.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Awesome!! Thanks man

[@palmer3977]

Brilliant stuff Jasper.

[@arpez3]

Another Great Video! Music was spot on!

[@robertlacasse]

Jasper you are a beast! Congratulation!
