Being a self confessed youtube junkie, I came across durianrider a couple of years ago and immediately thought what a twat he was and what cobblers he chatted.
However these days I find myself making his channel my first priority when I'm on there now.
The use of the F word every 5 seconds when he's explaining why he's better than everyone else seems a bit far fetched but always makes me giggle anyway. He's making so much money off youtube and living the life of his dreams (our dreams ) by cycling across Australia, Thailand, cycling with pro teams and reviewing these top bikes all the time. .....I mean he's even signed a deal with Nike !!!!
He bangs on about being vegan and how lean he is and stuff like that and never stops going on about his god damn power meter and why average speed means sod all and we should all go by watts per kilo.
I'm sure most of you have seen his videos but I particularly like the big climbs he films and when he's commentating on watching himself train with the pros. I can never be sure if he's backing the use of performance enhancing drugs or whether he's against it ? He harps on about that one a lot also. Anyway that being said I'm starting to think this wacky dude is a bit of a secret motivator for me ....:blink:
What does everyone think of him then ?

Ha ha he cracks me up. I'm sure the wife thinks I'm losing it when she spots me laughing at this guy just talking into his camera

It's exactly the crap I tell my kids off for watching on the Internet...yet it's strangely addictive. I've yet to successfully slip "full natty brah" into a conversation...but I will keep on trying...much to my teenage daughters horror.

......was tempted to take a look as he's called DurianRider (love the stuff, known as 'king of fruits' here), but then you mentioned he's a vegan, so I went off the idea............

Isn't that discrimination against his starsign?? :giggle:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Ive seen him. He is very opinionated indeed. Spouts rubbish most of the time. Wasn't he an advocate of the banana diet? 30 per day? Still he is making a lot of money, so maybe he isn't as mad as people think after all. I could only listen to his preaching for a few minutes. The silence when I switched him off was magic. And as you say every 2nd word started with f and ended with k. He is obviously finding the English language a bit of a challenge.:laugh:
