I liked bkxc but find his constant laughing through the videos a bit long in the tooth and it's almost like he's having to tell us how good it is when we can clearly see most of his rides look mega and is living the dream overall great content seems a nice guy but I have the whole idea patreon is funding his dream
Patreon has also funded Seth's new house ....he says every penny from his patreon is going into a bike park ....well you can go onto patreon and calculate how much they are making and if he's building a bike park i should be the world's best given how much he's earning .I also find his content has become lame and it's almost as if he finds the whole filming YouTube side of things inconvenient these days as his videos are never more than monthly .
Pinned tv great guy vlogs can be hit and miss .gets a shit load of free goods that us mere morsels are paying for And isn't always the most pc guy but I quite like that won't him

Mctrail rider ok again in small doses

Patreon has also funded Seth’s new house ….he says every penny from his patreon is going into a bike park ….well you can go onto patreon and calculate how much they are making and if he’s building a bike park i should be the world’s best given how much he’s earning .I also find his content has become lame and it’s almost as if he finds the whole filming YouTube side of things inconvenient these days as his videos are never more than monthly .
He releases a new video every week, not every month. It's his full time job, he has 1.6 million subscribers so he's doing something right and earns accordingly. I'm glad he's made enough cash to buy himself a s****y house, I reckon he deserves it. Good on him.
BKXC (on Patreon) - have actually built a number of roadtrip holidays these past few years from trails watched on Brian's channel.
I quite enjoy the Project Amber videos - its just a bloke and his dog converting and living in an old ambulance, but it's strangely compelling!
Like Seth and the things he does beyond the biking itself. Like BKXC, v jelous of all his trips especially the recent Pyrenees although his patter is becoming a bit repetitive. GMBN is good when it's not trying too hard to entertain.
Dave Jenvey is a bit of a tool and he and his mate rode like hooligans past walkers on some of my local cheeky trails which is not helpful
My current fave is Hambini who a friend put me onto last week.
This is the one I started on and it got me hooked. Good if you've got a bike engineering interest and like people that call a spade a spade...
I like Sam Pilgrim. Down to earth lunatic who rides stuff I can only dream of!
We’ve been enjoying Rebuilding Tally Ho
It kept cropping up in my suggestions and I'd intended to give it a look sometime, but this thread prompted me to watch it.
Crikey! That's not for the faint-hearted!
Excellent if you like that sort of thing. Hope it doesn't bankrupt him!
+1 For the Matt Stephens 'cafe Rides',Episode 5 with Daniel Oss is my favourite so far,but they're all good to watch.
Nothing to do with bikes but I like the mad scientist/inventor types
Mark Rober
Colin Furze
The slow mo guys
Or Corridor & friends for stupid fun videos with great VFX

Grind Hard Plumbing, not what you think...
Bike engines into kids pedal cars, then lob them around there own mini rally stage
Anyone into guitar pedals?
Nahh, thought not.
But if you are bored, interested in two blokes playing guitars and trying out/explaining how all the myriad of pedals work/sound like then this could be for you.

Try donut media for car guys, surprised no one has mentioned it already
A few more
Francis Cade
Peter McKinnon
Senders
Not ones that haven't been mentioned so far.
Juliette Elliotts content is good cycling, mainly road
Epic TV Climbing Daily for climbing
Nate Murphy Adventure Show just a good show. He's grown on me.
Athena Mellor, only just found this. Easy watching some relatable adventures
Mark Felton Productions, interesting military history. Very well done
Rides of Japan
Scott Manley
Aircrew Interview
Fullychargedshow
All worth a look.
I watch a few of the above plus short edits on Instagram. It often feels all a bit the same with the good riders all doing cutties. I don’t enjoy it as much as when you bought a copy of earthed or new world disorder.
Has Yoann Barelli been mentioned, his videos were pretty fresh before he got injured. I think pink bikes content is brilliant. I’m also a sucker for a specialized marketing video. Jc trails and mtbyumyum are both good for unbiased bike reviews.
Are these guys really making that much from patreon as Cathro always thanks all his patreon subscribers and it doesn’t seem like a huge amount of people paying for his content.
