What do you watch?

A couple from me:

Simon 'Always another adventure' rides lots of gravel and road around West coast of Scotland, swims and runs, some good advice.

I just enjoy seeing this Hels on wheels pedal shorts

Both of mine are quite 'US Gravel' focussed, but Russ and Laura of Path Less Pedalled seem like some of the most geuine 'Youtubers' going. I also like Dustin Klein and his Everything's Been Done series.

Both channels well worth a look.

both bikepacking channels. Barry Godin, he is always enthusiastic and happy. Keep Smiling Adventures, has had a few unsuccessful trips and tough ones too, doesn't always keep smiling either...

+1 for Barry Godin, lovely chap, a real adventurer and extremely skilled rider.
Very easy to identify with and a great inspiration to get out there and ride. His BG Tips series is great for anyone wanting to get into bike packing.

Mostly trials stuff as I'm trying to learn how to ride trials...

Flipp, brakeless trials:

Lutze Time, doing lots of tutorials for beginners to trials, and a few MTB orientated:

Shin Dig Podcast "Getting under the skin of the trials community", series of interviews
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFtFpucaS_xwtMn0yD93WwQ

James Barton, bmx influenced street trials rider

Having done a few videos for my channel I'm always in awe at the production values and Regularity of episodes for these guys as I know how long it takes to edit footage to get even a 5 minute video.

I like Street Pigeon and McTrailrider. Quite often inspires me to go and ride a particular area or trail.

All came to mind when I saw the thread title. I’ll add Old Shovel to the mix.

I enjoy Laura Jane and wee Tam’s videos. Great fun to watch both come across really well and Tams commentary makes me giggle. Mc trail rider is very good and I also like street pigeon, he needs to give him himself more credit for his riding. I generally enjoy watching experienced good riders doing stuff I can aspire too rather than some high end pro etc.

Another vote for these guys. Tams enthusiasm and accent is just brilliantly entertaining.
I'm another that would rather watch good riders that do trail revue type vids than pros.
Gives a much better idea of what the trail will actually ride like.

wouldn't say tam & laura and street pigeon are small channels. Any channel that doesn't make money is small in my mind.

+1 for AAA and Barry Godin (I keep expecting him to say “Hi I’m Barry Scott!”). I also like The Bicycle Adventure Club for some harmless fun viewing of their rides locally

Something about this guy cracks me up; this episode, where he's broken his MTB, so sends DH trails on a 1 brake BMX with street tyres tickles me somewhat:

Having subesquently gone to find and inspect the tree drop and step down in question, the video really doesn't do any justice to just how bonkers the stuff he's riding is!

UkgravelCO probably shouldn't link as it contains reviews & STW won't get an affiliate link which wouldn't be fair to them as they own this forum.
I had to delete yesterday's video due to complaints (& not because it was rubbish for once) which is a pity as during it I revealed how to make every bicycle adventure better.
Might have to re-edit it if I can find the time.

Tommy C Hype
If you can get past the preponderance of "sick","OMG", "Boys" etc and don't mind English Northerners 🙂 then enjoy Tommy's boundless enthusiasm ,bottle and not inconsiderable riding skills.Mates on bikes riding bikes in all weathers.

I find Tommy C really watchable - boundless enthusiasm which doesn’t feel forced at all. Amazingly, I can forgive everything else despite me being a bit of a sociopath.

^^ BaskettCase is a new one to me, I’ll watch some of those 🙂

Best channel i found was Dustin Klien. Its not very often watching go-pro footage of someone else riding is interesting enough to watch for more than a handful of seconds, but his editing skills are superb and can keep me engaged for as long as you like.

Juliet Elliot is popular but personally find her airhead, dumb blonde act grates very quickly. Much prefer Katy Kookaburra.

Hells bells. That guy on the BMX @jivehoneyjive posted definitely has a screw loose. I'd have walked a lot of what he was riding there...

Surprised myself by watching and enjoying most of Jethro Jessop's Norway output (surprised because I rarely have the patience for long YT vids).

Very watchable and relatable 😁
