The Downville double header is great, how fast on a 120mm xc bike.

Vancan

Mctrailrider

Hardtailparty

I quite enjoy Downhill Desire as an antidote to all the gnarr / rad content out there. I can relate to Gordy’s struggles and admire his persistence in overcoming his fears and just getting out there despite them.

At the XC / endurance end of things I’ve really enjoyed some of the Rapha / EF Education, Dylan Johnson and Life Time Grand Prix coverage.

Street pigeon. A lot of others already mentioned … Pinkbike, GMBN, McTrail rider  etc. Do please give Scotty Laughland a subscribe … he’s the son of a chum and an awfully nice lad. I only wish he was a bit taller so I could get his cast off bikes.

McTrailRider. He’s probably the most relevant to me. I reckon I’m champing at his heels in terms of what/how he rides and I’ve ended up quite invested in what he’s up to. Definitely killed a good few quiet hours at work riding trails by proxy and for that I chuck him £5/month on Patreon just to help him keep doing it.

Occasionally Street Pigeon, and I keep an eye on Muddy Mongoose – a local chap I’ve never met but he’s been on a real journey on YouTube from pretty much MTB (and video producing) beginner level to now being a pretty competent rider. I found it a real insight into the mental side of it as an “older” rider and recognise my earlier self in a lot of his videos.

Do please give Scotty Laughland a subscribe … he’s the son of a chum and an awfully nice lad.

Do you know why he left GMBN?

Do you know why he left GMBN?

From what I recall, he didn’t want to live down in Bath.

Dale Stone
Dangerous Dave
Moi Moi TV
Ed Masters

McTrail Rider
Trail-Finder
Street Pigeon

For a mix of aspirational and relatable/achievable adventures.

Do you know why he left GMBN?

I don’t know but I’m glad he and Henry Quinney went on to better things. Not to say GMBN wasn’t a useful step in getting them there.

Do please give Scotty Laughland a subscribe … he’s the son of a chum

Derek is very much missed😟 Scotty is a huge credit to him. I knew his dad but never really connected with Scotty and I’ve ran into him and his mum several times since Derek passed and I’ve always felt strange about  saying I knew Derek. He was someone I genuinely loved meeting out and about on the bike and I think about him often

Some of the above, plus:
Sam Reynolds
Darryl Brown
Troy Brosnan
Tom Isted

Clint Gibbs for very balanced kit reviews.

Laura Jane & wee tam. It’s down to earth and fun to watch.
Anything with Henry Quinny is a total turn off, stopped listening to pinkbike podcasts because of his annoying style.

I follow a few more varied channels –

– Wolfpack Adventures – enduro racer from borders – https://youtube.com/@wolfpack_adventures

– Syd and Macky – MtB racers, seriously fit and fast – https://youtube.com/@sydandmacky

– Greg McCahon – cycling length of America’s with Victoria
https://youtube.com/@GregMcCahon

– Always Another Adventure – West highland based rider and Scottish routes – https://youtube.com/@alwaysanotheradventure

Thought Dialed would’ve got a mention by now, here’s what I’ve watched recently, Janaynay, Bernard Kerr,Ed Masters, WynTV, Santa Cruz Syndicate, Rob Warner, Troy Brosnan, Pinkbike, GMBN, Vital MTB, Lewis Buchanan, Adam Brayton, no doubt I’ve probably forgot a couple.

I have a channel but I don’t post loads ukbikeskills

probably already mentioned – https://www.youtube.com/@ddangerousddave – Seems like a nice fella, does some mad riding.

– Wolfpack Adventures – entitled prick –

FTFY.

Alex thinks that it’s perfectly acceptable to film unfinished trails and post them all over social media for the likes, while never contributing anything to building trails, and leaving trailbuilders with the headache of then having to rush to finish trails to make them safe for the inevitable followers who’ll be hunting out the trails.

I had no idea – I haven’t watched all… That is more than disappointing.

– Wolfpack Adventures – whining ****t –

FTFY a second time

The Athertons if you go right back to the beginning. Shows how hard they’ve all worked and what a tight family they are to get to where they are today. Also chronicles Dan’s horrible crash and recovery which is pretty amazing.

I notice no one has said pinned tv………for good reason

I had no idea – I haven’t watched all… That is more than disappointing.

Last trailbuilder he done it to, specifically named the section of trail he videoed, so if you’ve ever ridden a fairly recent trail in Innerleithen, and wondered why there is a seemingly random section called ‘****’, Alex is the reason.

The other trailbuilder he done it to, simply wanted to bury him in the trail.

And I preempted him by naming my last trail in such a away he won’t want to publicise it 🤣

Surprised no one’s mentioned Matt Jones yet

The Ride Companonion is worth keeping an eye on for interesting guests – more a podcast, but it’s on youtube…

James Barton for Street/ Trials.  No whizzy production or 3 cuts a second, just self-set cameras and lovely riding.
