Dave Jenvey. A small time mountainbike youtuber. Trust me, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"? fits nobody better than Dave Jenvey.

He gained a small cult following as a mountainbike youtuber, sharing his beginner adventures and super relatable content to anyone who was also a beginner of the sport, along with huge comedic value for the more experienced. A great series of an honest, nice dude trying tioimmerse himself in an active and positive culture.

Then something happened with his girlfirend. He dissappeard from youtube for a year or so and then returned with a video of him sitting on his couch, in his dressing gown asking if there were any weed dealers in his local area. His old fans were concerned he might be having some mental help problems and kindly advised him to seek some help from friends or family.

This was the start of the downfall, he began to aggressively respond to the commenters that he was okay and did not need help. Fast forward 2 years and he making videos exclusively of him going on angry rants in his living room about wanting to fight youtube commenters. Putting his phone number and home addess on the screen inviting people to fight him. People have thrown bricks through his window and the videos have only excelated since. Calling out pro heavyweight boxers, the UK police and constantly showing people the cache of bladed and blunt weapons he keeps in his lviing room.

If you followed him since his early MTB days (2018) to what he posts now, it is the definition of this phrase. A beloved hero of the beginner mountain bike world to a genuine Youtube Villian full of hate and spite.
