Which MTB Youtubers do you watch?

[President Merkin]

Probably space for a separate roadie topic but on the MTB side, who do you like?

I go in for GMBN & the never ending advertorials but also Bernard Kerr, Brendan Fairclough, Sam Reynolds, Pilgs, Matt Jones, Olly WIlkins, Pinkbike, Crankworx I think that's about it. Also commonly get served up Ben Deakin, Jenna Hastings, Needles Podcast. Interested to see if there's any other interesting channels I might be missing. TBH, a lot of them are very samey, especially the slopestyle guys.

Ah I forgot Jono Jones too. He's good value, more your sketchy dh guy but you'll look hard to find a rider having more fun. I love the racing so follow a few of those guys, Troy Brosnan, Eddie Masters, Adam Brayton and so on. Brayton's not really good enough for the world cups & runs solo but it's fascinating to see the struggles of more or less a privateer vs the slick factory teams & their sweet set ups.

How could I forget Warner, legend!

Preston Williams, a privateer who's making his way in the world cup scene. Does lots of course pov rides & is very vocal, commentating on his own rides as he gets down the hill.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow in that case

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 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'

Leave it out.

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.

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?
