Why do you say he’s not a nice guy?

Hi viewers I need to make cold hard cash therefore here's my story and review.

It's all bullst.

Warners story about his journey was filmed with lots of close ups of a Vitus ebike.

My wife loves handbags and fashion, she refuses to admit she's a victim of marketing yet I too suffer from influencers telling their story.

Once it was ntb mag advertorials In Mags now it's online 'here's my review/journey'.

Well I for one am shocked that a minority sport depends on sponsorship to pay content you watch for free. When did this shocking development take place?

I've never met him, I don't think I've even ever seen him IRL, but I've read some unpleasant things about him, written on a WhatsApp group of local riders based near Dyfi where he sort of lives sometimes. It's usually complaints about how he conducts himself in the area and how long before the announcement his relationship with JH was happening.

I've no idea how true it all is, but it's enough for me to change my attitude towards his videos / SM posts etc.

In fairness he’s onto a hiding to nothing in that area. In Machynlleth, where he has bought a house, and signed up to a warehouse, the gdp per household has historically been very low… chap turns up from Surrey with a Ferrari who has an unconventional occupation and lifestyle, he’s going to attract some negative feedback. If it’s the English way it’s definitely the Welsh way!

I personally think the whole thing around JH is harsh, yes she’s younger than him but stuff like that can be viewed both ways, she’s living a good life and I’m guessing he’s not short of female attention so I’d say live and let live. The fact that she is a kiwi not a local kind of cements this view. He wasn’t parked up in his testarossa outside the local school was he?!

In a nutshell I’d suggest you are reacting to hearsay driven, in the main, by envy.

In no particualr order, I watch:

Rob Warner and Ad Brayton amuse me, although not nearly as much as Nigel Page.
I like the Ride Companion videos, Davey and Ollie are excellent.
Joe Barnes.
Ben Cathro.
Steve Jones is actually decent for emtb stufff.
I watch a lot of Pinned (Jim and Tod) as they are fairly local to me.
I like TommyC because, decent rider as he is, he's not too proud or conscious to leave the odd mistake or refusal in.
Anyone trying and/or succeeding to ride black trails at Golfie.

Iain Richard is the only one I watch with any sort of regularity; he's a 'dad bod' sporting Yorkshireman in his 40s (maybe 50s?) who rides an E-Bike, but appears to be utterly fearless and will take on all the biggest, scariest trails in the UK, and shares his exploits with the internet.

Him and his mate working their way through the 50:01 line at revolution bike park is humbling to watch

Good call, not seen that before.

His latest "Wall of Death" video is same as local lad to me, Lewis Brown shot a couple of days back. Title is not click bait, but rather a salutary lesson to anyone who rides without a helmet.
