    I chanced upon this guy’s channel recently and have been enjoying it massively. Somewhat of an affable Brummie windowcleaner whose almost total lack of ‘natural’ MTB skills are more than compensated for by tenacity and resilience. Seems to fall off most of the time, but he usually gets back on. My better half (who has no interest in biking) has been in stitches watching this. It’s bloody hysterical, and heartwarming, and motivating. And boring. But not. Kind of.

    Difficult to describe the content, so I’m going with: Meticulous and meandering self-made mini-documentaries chronicling the progress of a beginner in the world of Mountain Biking and dirt-jumps. He seems to have started MTBing ‘late in life’. He also seems to have a new-bike-buying habit.

    Brilliant! Wait, not one of you lot is it?

    Ali c, bkxc, ben cathro, seths bike hacks, ifht, trailpeaks, nate hills, gmbn.

    Ali Clarkson’s channelmis quite interesting, really enjoying Ben Cathro, bkxc amd singletrack sampler are getting a bit repetitive. Seth’s is up and down, but lots of variety.

    I’ve watched a few of the guy mentioned in the OPs videos and they frustrate me massively so I don’t subscribe.

    I discovered Cathro during the Fort Bill WC weekend so subscribed to that, obviously GMBN and GCN, Phil Kmetz is good, plus the usual syndicate/atherton/PB & Vital MTB lot.

    Don’t watch everything though, just things that I short enough to watch while I’m on the bog.

    He is pretty good, I hope he can find a way to make it work/pay and cover the whole WC circuit.

    Sometimes i think i should learn to jump, then I watch Dave Jenvey videos and he is sure going to die a fiery death on a bike.I think some of us should just be wheels on the ground riders.

    This is my view, I don’t take many risks because I’ve got a job and a family to worry about. He’s self employed and scarily out of control most of the time, gawd knows why he’s willing to take the risks he does. Hopefully he gets more youtube revenue than I do. I’m nearly up to $2 now! Whoop!

    I’ve been playing around doing videos and its good fun. I also found dave’s videos from uploading mine and they do make me worry sometimes. what he is riding to his skill level is a tad 😕 at times. But then it is a good watch also. lol

    some of the above, and.. this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/bmxhomie07

    its a blog style mtb / bmx channel. proper random and often funny, and he does some BIG jumps, buts it varies a lot including days out with his g/f, pugs, trips to his gran etc.

    here’a a recent-ish one of a big jump

    I don’t know what constitutes as different but 50to01 are putting out really unique edits atm, focusing more on good vibes and fun with mates over out and out radness.

    Also thanks for sharing Daves channel most mtb videos make me feel like huge noob, when people make black runs look like a footpath.

    he is also making a lot of content and the number of people subscribing to his channel is growing quickly.

    Jenvey is a growing legend I feel. How many more bikes can he fit on his sofa with the orange, jump bike & now the trek session!

    Always look forward to his new videos & the inevitable crash.

    Dave Jenveys videos are really good, have an admirable innocence about them, a brutal honesty.

    I’ve been watching Dave Jenveys clips and he’s a trier all right! I cant help but worry that he’s really going to come a cropper!

    Is that room with the frying pan on the wall he’s entire flat?! and what’s on all those bits of A4 paper stuck to the wall!?
