Hey Jasper, just recently found your channel and surely instantly subscribed! Kudos for the KOM Challenge! I’ve lived in Taipei for 5 years and loved cycling there. This video brings back great memories as you showed some of my training routes back in the day! Keep those videos coming, if you’re ever coming to the south of Germany ring me up, epic routes and beers waiting for you mate! Cheers from Germany!
Hi Jasper, good to see you feeling strong and I have enjoyed the last two videos, from Taiwan. I haven't been around in UA-cam land for a while and so have a bit to catch up on. I hope you won't stop making those videos from your home races as they were the ones that drew me to your channel. That kind of racing around towns and villages with the narrow roads is very thrilling to watch, especially from the "inside" with your on bike footage and explanations of the racing. Good luck for 2020! All the best, Tim
Yeah Billa !!! He was supposed to ride the taiwan kom but was late for registration! Billa is a beast ! Also can do a sub 4 hour that Wuling Pass!! Bruno seems to be not tired 😂from KOM
Is this your first time to visit Taiwan? The way you pronouced " thank you" in mandarin was so good and it looks like you have enjoyed the time during Taiwan, good on it, welcome to Taiwan.
I really like these " Nature Trail " videos,mate,oh-by the way,...that really cool "custom bike "I showed you,it got STOLEN,REALLY SUCKS FOR THAT,...... (OVER $1,000.00 DOLLARS INVESTED)...The really good thing is,I took off the Cosmic SL's and put them on the DA3,the Cervelo S5 is down to $1,005.00, OH,BY THE WAY,HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU MATE!!!,...CHEERS!!!
Stinky tofu smells like death. I encountered it in China. Amazing cycling infrastructure, might be worth the risk of coming into contact with stinky tofu. What amazes me though is you can get even get on a bike the day after Taiwan KOM.
I don't know if I can support the guy in the gold hot pants sporting the World Championship socks. What did he win? Cyclocross, Mountain bike? I did not see him win anything over on GCN racing. Great vid man. Can't believe you're out riding the day after.
Another thing-Do you like the rock band "Queen"? ? ? ,Watch the video for Another One Bites the Dust,.....the Singer dances on stage "BAREFOOT",WITH THOSE SAME KINDA PANTS ON! ! !,LoL!!!...vevo 35,585,??? VIEWS!!!
The flooding is greatly exaggerated. I've been here for 8 years and the river haven't been flooded in this time. It was flooded in the past but it's a very rare occurance.
Haha. You could say it! Taipei 101 is an ugly building. Many locals think so too. Many think it looks like a place where people store their urns. Anyway, great video!
Wish to get my channel get a shout out next vid JASPER I'm a sub since 10k hehe I did not much comment because I didn't much know how to speak English that day HI IM JERAMY FROM THE PHILIPPINES
You're right, bigotry is a mental illness. And seeing that Jasper actually liked this comment is very sad. I posted this video on my facebook page. After seeing this comment it's going to get deleted as soon as I'm done writing this.
ivycycles I think we are obligated to have our own choice. up till 1990 homosexuality was considered a mental illness. This was in all medical books. when I was growing up in a straight couple was kissing in the street people would turn to them and tell them go get a room. Now if you say that to a gay couple the look at you like you are a racist. I don't understand why homosexuals are the only people that need to advertise their sexual preference through their body language and the way they speak. It's not fair for every single straight person trying to raise their family in the right way to deal with such Madness daily. Straight people feel uncomfortable around gay people this is a fact. The fact that you are a homosexual makes others uncomfortable. And when you advertise this it makes it even worse.
@@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed - Well, I'm sorry you can't deal with diversity. It used to be live and let live. Jasper just lost subscriber. You can enjoy your narrow-mindedness together. The "God of Speed", yeah, that isn't narcissistic at all, LOL! Merry Christmas.
ivycycles THE only thing I am allergic to is poison ivy. I didn't say anything wrong to you the only thing I told you was facts and how most straight men and people with a sane and logical mind feel. How can you understand how we feel? And why are your feelings more important than ours? Why is the 1% pushing to accept their way of life on the other 99%? You think 1% even makes a difrence?
ivycycles if you want to know what narcissistic means is how gay people carry themselves. Homosexuals are basically narcissistic to their sexual preference. Thats the truth and a fact. I don't need to explain to you why i am called The God Of Speed. Enjoy sucking on your candy cane.
Did you ever try Stinky Tofu!!???
🤣🤣im sorry but i don like the smell and taste🤣🤣✌
HK's Stinky Tofu much more smelly XDD hope u have a try
@@cweric9689 HK Stinky Tofu is already shit no offense haha.
there are TV presenters out there getting paid to do a lesser job than the output from this channel. You are legend Jasper lad
Cheers mate!!

PS: stinky tofu is terrifying when served in soup with duck blood cake on top.. the definition of nightmare lol
very welcome to the channel mate!!
yeah we kept it to the least dirty version hahaha
It's great that Billa was able to show you some of the great riding in Taipei. There's a lot more out there!
i believe! we only had a few hours but I think you can easily spend a week in just taipei!
Billa seems like a local legend. Very cool choice for a VeloGuide. I thought your Taiwan KOM series was complete - what a nice bonus vid! 🤙
Yeah he is pretty strong!
Yep still had this video to be made🤗
Thanks for another excellent video. You have great skills interacting with locals whereever you are.
Cheers!!
the air is fresh up there ,love it
I will try this climb the next time i come to taipei.. we went to Yangmingshan when we were in taipei. I recon that is a bigger climb.

He was supposed to ride the taiwan kom but was late for registration!
Billa is a beast ! Also can do a sub 4 hour that Wuling Pass!!
Bruno seems to be not tired 😂from KOM
He crashed a little while before and broke a lot of bones, that’s why he didn’t race the KOM
Is this your first time to visit Taiwan? The way you pronouced " thank you" in mandarin was so good and it looks like you have enjoyed the time during Taiwan, good on it, welcome to Taiwan.

Happy new year back Don! Sorry your bike got stolen! :(
Welcome to TW!!!!!
thanks!
What was the GoPro head band you're wearing? Looks like a much better accessory than a helmet fixture
Just the standard head strap
Hey Jasper, love your vids man! Which model is it you are wearing from Siroko? is it the K3 PHOTOCHROMIC TIERRA DEL FUEGO? Best regards
I have the K3 is many different colors!🤙🏻🤙🏻
Top quality VLOG
Stinky tofu smells like death. I encountered it in China. Amazing cycling infrastructure, might be worth the risk of coming into contact with stinky tofu. What amazes me though is you can get even get on a bike the day after Taiwan KOM.
Yeah I was feeling pretty good!!
Hey Jasper quick question, do you know which camera strap Bruno uses? Thank you.
The one we bought from a Taiwanese store the day before. No idea what brand though
@@jasperverkuijl Thanks. I am looking for one but I am not sure which one to purchase.
“Hello boooooysss” epic
An easy ride with Billa is never easy 🤣🤣🤣
haha
Great video! That fella lives there for the cycling? Seems a bit crowded with traffic for good cycling, but I'm sure I'm wrong.
Just because we wanted to go into the city but you can really ride on quit roads and perfect tarmac! Taiwan has a great cycling culture
Fuckin hell im just glad i found your channel. Great job and more power sir!
Cheers 🥂
Hello, where can i get Bruno's jersey?
mmm @fietsbenen ?, its bieler
@@jasperverkuijl thank you
Nice video 🤙
Bruno seems to be not tired 😂
He was wasted!
Billa: legend :-)
I like to yellow Cannondale Supersix HM! NicE!
Billa's bike was legit!
I like your dress he said LOL
the guy deserved the complement dont you think? ;)
Dude, climbing the day after the Taiwan KOM? That's some shit that only a CLIMBING FANATIC would do!!
We took a really small climb and went up slow haha
I don't know if I can support the guy in the gold hot pants sporting the World Championship socks. What did he win? Cyclocross, Mountain bike? I did not see him win anything over on GCN racing. Great vid man. Can't believe you're out riding the day after.
yeah man we didnt want to miss out on Taipei!!
Awesome video! Good bacteria! 😀 🤙
thats what the old man said!

I was under the impression it happened every other year haha
That is not UCI approved😆...lol.. we must get u in some shots of a Sprint
You have to be a high achiever to win the KOM. You need a Taipei personality
Billa of billen?
tres jolie 👍
I also arrived late to the post-KOM party at Rapha. Too bad I just missed you there.
Too bad!
Haha. You could say it! Taipei 101 is an ugly building. Many locals think so too. Many think it looks like a place where people store their urns. Anyway, great video!
😂
Why is it called 'stinky tofu'
Dude have you ever smelled it?
@@jasperverkuijl I looked it up on Wikipedia, now I know why it stinks haha.
Hey, you were eating totally vegan.😁😉
Sick huh!! 😂😂
-9:33, there is when people died will put in there
