I love how honestly and transparently share your trials and tribulations, ups and downs, joy as well as suffering. It’s deeply inspiring and heartwarming how much reality you bring to your videos. In reality, watching a video from the comfort of one’s living room couch is far from the reality of riding something as demanding as the Dakar. But you bring your adventures home right into the living room as if I’m right there. Heck, you make me want to ride the Dakar myself on my Aprilia Tuareg! 🤘😀

The melon thing; Citrullus ecirrhosus. Funny to see Lyons pull exactly that sour disgust face and keep at it...one way that Namibians known its been a bad season for water...when animals resort to those things.

Dear Vanessa, even being shattered by days of hardest desert racing you don't nearly half as destroyed as me every morning. Kudos to how you keep yourself there! 🤗🤩 The one thing that was missed in this video si a more exact culinary description of exactly _how_ bad that non.melon tasted. Was it like a grandma's arm pit with decades old layers of Channel Nô.5? Bitter and stale like a five days old pint of Guiness? Like lemon scent toilet cleaner? Canned fish with fruit jam-like? Cold coffee with dish cleaner? 🤔

Having done endurance events I appreciate the personal information. I think not everyone realizes how tough these events can be. These personal touches make that evident. The bag on your chest reminds me of my Comfort Kit. I had this strapped somwhere for easy access. From nail clippers to antacid tablets to be rid of those distracting nagging things. Super glue for that paper cut. Bright blood or dark blood? Do you wear a kidney belt. All those innards are not bolted down very solid and they get sloshed around causing injury. As long as it isn't a lot. Enough calories is a problem for Veg eaters. Have you considered adding some cheese. Packed with calories and protein. You are doing well. Man, when those trucks roar by.

After running a sports medicine practice for 45 years, injuries sustained when young will be difficult if not intolerable as we age; especially if there are numerous repeated traumas to similar areas in the spine and joints. Make sure you are receiving specific rehab for each injury, and continue with preventive care between injuries for the rest of your life.

@warvaralynx7955 2 месяца назад

I was thinking that if during the race you play masterpieces of classical music instead of heavy rock and roll, the result will be positive. The fact is that heavy music puts you in a trance. The trance distracts you from the road. This is bad. Classical music will make you angry. Anger will prevent you from falling asleep while driving and will sharpen your perception. This is exactly what you need. Listen Beethoven and Mozart while racing through the desert.

I'd swap "flappy" bits for testicles and day. Especially as I've got older, and things started to swing low more and more. Sorry, trying to keep this decent, but they are, literally a pain.

@Theravadinbuto 2 месяца назад

Well done to gut it out. A note on the editing, though - those 180 degree rotations on the camera are really hard to watch - so much moving distortion, and it throws me because, as a rider, I’m riding with you… and then not. I’ve taken to closing my eyes…

Another cracking episode Vanessa. As for wearing undercrackers under your shorts I guess comfort is the preference. As for thongs I thought the arse fell out of them a while back but I confess I know bugger all about ladies grundy preferences. Each to there own. As for passing a bit of blood I think a lot of us if we're honest will have done or will have a crimson crap at some point. I put a bit of it down to stress and lets face it riding thousands of miles over tracks that are worse than the average country road in the UK without the amenities is a lot of stress. Get checked when you get home if you're concerned. I did and all was fine. Those checking you out have seen more bums than I've seen people so don't worry. A great scene where the kids went nuts for your nuts was great. The end with you lot trying the 'found fruit' was epic, looks OK, smells OK, tastes bloody awful. Once again a great video and thanks for sharing. Oh and you really should keep the Dodo.

I don't get the logic of wearing underwear outside your gear. Sounds like a mad superhero outfit. Then again u fit the bill perfectly!

@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449 2 месяца назад

Sorry cannot comment on the Darker, never done one ☝️, reference blocks and the “ private department “ , with loads of years in the military and loads of 20,40 and 100km route marchers , I never wore jocks ( prevented Shafing ) - I’m sure aggressive riding over hard terrain would be the same , in saying that on LONG off road riding in Australia I wear boxers , no jokes - room for male movement “ free balling us blokes would say 😂😂😂”

@mikeskidmore6754 2 месяца назад

I don't know how you could stand wearing a thong.. The String on the backside is very annoying. Wear a nice pair of panties that covers your backside too. I tend to wear some cotton underwear even though it holds sweat.. I have a long shirt and long pants made from Polyester two wear as a first layer both while snowmobiling and under a leather track suit .
