Oh, I like them, I’ve been a fan of Eric since I saw him win the pro demonstration race at Milwaukee nationals in 2014. I just wish they keep the videos a little shorter.
I think their fanbase would improve by doing that. The younger generation is not looking for long videos, ever been on TikTok?
Their fanbase is pretty solid - 50k so basically behind Lionel and Lucy with nobody else close. I mean, you make it sound like there's a HUGE younger generation that would do triathlon based upon Eric and Paula shortening videos - when really it's the 30+ crowd that is following and being fans.
Tiktok - isn't youtube - are there any tri tiktok stars? Seriously - I'm old, and don't have the capacity for another app lol
ETA - not everyone can be all things to all people. Talbot can't do the artistic stuff like Eric can - but holy crap he can make a hype video (even if he can't spell - hey T ;) ) but with the podcast and the videos there is a legitimate community that Eric and Paula have built and I don't think they should change it for anything.
DFRU - Detta Family Racing Unit...the kids like it and we all get out and after it...gotta keep the fam involved!
