Jack Moir has some of the best Enduro coverage and DH trackside footage - Decent bit of surf footage now and again too
WynTV for the track walks and rider interviews

Happy Birthday for tomorrow in that case smile
Thanks, enduring an injury layoff for the next fortnight, it's killing me.

On Wyn, I laughed at a BK video in Snowshoe last year where they're doing a post race long jump comp & Eddie Masters is shouting at Wyn - Hey homeless guy, do a wheelie!

I've had a bit of a cull but remaining:

Pinkbike just for the Ben Cathro DH coverage
Sleeper.Collective for the amazing short edits from the DH races
UCI / Crankworx / Red Bull Bike for race coverage
Vital MTB for a bit more coverage
Seth / Berm Peak
GMBN/EMBN I dip into when they're not just recycling the same content
Rob Rides EMTB
Singletrack mag
Downtime podcast
IFHT / Mahalo


Riders:

Brendan Fairclough
Daryl Brown
Bernard Kerr (but I skim them)
Jake Moir
Killian Bron
Matt & Jono Jones
Rob Warner
McTrailRider
NrmlMtber
Skills With Phil
Loam Wolf

I don't really follow anyone religiously but dip in and out depending if it takes my fancy...

Tend to really like Warner probably because I started riding in the late 90's. I enjoyed Katy Winton's EWS series videos.

Matt Jones is usually pretty watchable too.

GMBN is a bit crap but there are the odd funny video.

It all got a bit messy for a while didn’t it?

Have to say it did put a small dent in my appreciation of him after all that.

I think ‘Brakeless’ Ben is hilarious.

Yes, I'm surprised Red Bull didn't drop him; it certainly tarnished the squeaky clean best mate image, personally I have no time for his shtick now...bet he is gutted he has lost a 50 yo's subscription biglaugh

Mahalo my dude is my favourite https://youtube.com/@mahalomydude?si=SJNzFNfBL8WGZ...

GMBN is crap compared to GCN and as someone who’s not a roadie I prefer to watch the latter.

Miss Peaches, I don't even speak German!
Ben Cathro
Ride Companion
Carlotte Lucy Thompson
Vital
Just an Average Dad
Pinkbike
Matt and Jono
Rob Warner

I used to follow Kerr, but I find him irritating, I'm told he's not a nice guy IRL and likely on the cusp of being 'Yew Tree'd'

I didn’t realise his new partner was ‘known’ to him before he fled.

I follow his old fiancé and she posted a carefully worded video about his/her behaviour towards her which was enlightening.

At the time it felt like the Red Bull team perhaps helped him from a legal perspective. A perk of being one of their athletes.

I still watch his stuff but more for Ben and Jamie.

I also enjoy:

McTrail Rider
Danny MacCatSkills (what a dude)
Sam Reynolds
A bit of Jono Jones

I was totally oblivious to all this, but listened to her interview last night and this morning.

yikes I'm speechless. Anyone know how true her account is? If its only half true it doesn't paint him in a good light.

I doubt you’ll ever hear the other side of it.

She tried multiple times to speak up about all this before or hint at things on social media but got the impression she was legally threatened and it all disappeared as quick as it went up. Which in a way might speak for itself.

He got together with one of his junior racers, Jenna Hastings. This came out at the end of last season, after she stepped up to elite, so he's 35 or so, she was 18 at the time. The age difference is one thing, don't screw the crew another but the suggestion it's a bit paedophile is distasteful to say the least.

I think Poppy was telling the truth, he went from producing lots of content with her; teaching her to ride, buying a house with her (and Moose), building the lock-down trails and then suddenly he is with a 40+ ex-swimsuit\surf model with four kids, but no footage on his channel of any of that stuff...and no explanation.

Does sound a bit of a leap; BK 16.02.91 and JH 10.05.04...so less of an age difference, but timing is everything.

Well this thread has gone in a direction I didn't think it would eek

Pinkbike mainly.

I hate paid ad content so won't watch it. Much for the same reason I stopped watching Fortnine and the ad section.

Surely the only direction a thread like this should be going is downhill?
