Willie Smit

[Ozzie NL]

I am more concerned about an athlete trying to break into major ranks, but not taking the opportunities he has, seriously.

There have been sports careers flushed down the drain with lesser extreme behaviours.

I truly hope his sponsors doesn't react to this self-inflicted exposé

Latin name, sub standard English and behind the timeline in terms of facts.....you a lawyer????

Willie is 'young'.... I also had a discussion about business with a 'professional' sports person a little while ago and realised that while blessed with supreme DNA, his education and thought process development had been left in a Bently belt in the shallow end.

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone has a specific talent that they use to get through life, just cause someone isnt as talented as you in a chosen field, there is no reason to bash and make fun of them cause of that.

 

Im also sure the with the "Professional sports person" didnt leave and say the same about your ability on a bike when he left the said meeting to anyone on a open forum.

Hope some actually made the effort of reading my description in the video. Also Ironically enough if John's not allowed to Toutch or drink Alcohol, were we really drinking alcohol and then posting it on Social media ... Have a good Christmas everyone and remember, ride your bike Oh yes my Wedding vlogs up next. Remember to troll and make me famous!

love it. 

 

Peace haters

Bro I think you and Quagga should get married, you okes will raise the perfect kids, solve all the problems in the world and create world peace

 

It glorifies bad behavior.

 

Like I said, I'm sure it was fun and super rad to do, but the video glorifies drinking and riding and skipping stop signs and makes it cool.

 

I only watched the vlog because it was posted on here. I don't spend my time watching things on the internet.

 

I think most of what people post on social media is a load of absolute rubbish. It has created a world of 'look at me's' and in return people who do things for attention instead of themselves.

 

Blogs, vlogs etc are generally what people used to write in their diaries but now feel the need to share with the world.

 

Again, I'm sure Willie is an awesome guy, but just like rappers snorting cocaine off the butts of their 'hoes' and other rappers vilifying the behavior, it sets a rubbish example.

 

If you enjoy watching a bunch of guys drinking and riding on public roads and think it's funny or 'cool' then it's an issue.

 

The problem is, teenage kids will watch this and think, that looks rad. They do not have the knowledge or self restraint to only have '1 beer' and 'a couple' of shots before and during riding. They will likely get hammered drunk and if enough kids see and do that, law of averages say it will end badly.

 

I'm more saying that posting the video is not a good example. Why not just drink some beer, do some jaegermeister and go riding round the farm and not feel the need to post a video of it? That way Willie doesn't get called names but he still had just as much fun.

 

I'm over it now. I honestly have no vested interest in this and I think it has already taken up too much of my time.

 

That and I'm just a massive loser with a broom up my arse.

I read his first 3 sentences, and the last one.

 

It was hilarious.

If you read his response, the video was played at the Katusha Alpecin team unveiling.

I hope Willie doesn't become a 2 post wonder. Would love for him to post on the hub from time to time(The Grand Tour threads would be awesome).

John, persuade him please.

John, persuade him please.

If I am Willie, I would stay as far away from the Hub as possible.
