I only watch Scotty Cranmers videos because the guy is a genius on a BMX, multiple X Games gold medalist and very humble and grateful that he gets to earn a living from the sport.
Tragically if you don't know, he had a very bad face plant recently and broke his back. There have been further videos of him in hospital recovering, but he's still in a wheelchair and has had the front of his skull removed because of a blood clot on the brain.
If you get ten minutes, watch an old video to see how good he is, then watch a recovery video to see how someone can be so positive and upbeat after having such a life changing accident.

I reckon 90% of my viewing is now Youtube.

Today I've learnt that Youtube has channels.

Windsurfing Tv
Chris Harris On Cars (rip)
Mighty Car Mods (mad)

Thanks, I shall have a look.

Don't have 5. But Monday never is really enjoyable escapism.

If you like Scishow, give Vsauce a whirl...

I only really watch GMBN The Dirt shed show is a must watch every week.
In Summer I watch Red Bull's channel for the World Cup MTB stuff.
Everything else I watch is a bit random.
I just watched a great little video with Steve Peat,Guy Martin & Joe Barnes up in Scotland 'Mojo trail diaries'.
Most other stuff I watch concerns motorcycle racing or Rugby League.
I think these days,certainly when the RL season is on,I watch more Youtube than TV

Colin Furze

Gt Channel. Translated Japanese Best motoring episodes.

Clarets TV

Scotty Cramner - The inner child in me still likes to watch some BMX vids, good fun content on here daily.

IFL - Boxing interviews aplenty

GCN - Really good, sure we all know about it.

GMBN - Same as above.

The Game Chasers - Now up to date on the seasons, but great video game show and could imagine it on TV if it wasn't so niche.

I use YouTube quite a lot, been really handy for lower league Scottish football highlights, Cyclocross, WSOP shows and plenty more.

Colin Furze is a good shout.

+1Fully charged. Just watching again and have to say it is REALLY nice to see quality production, presentation is engaging as is the content and not hardly a whiff of identity politics. Just watched a Tesla Wall installed and the Renault Electric Show coverage.

the anti-TG?

Also:

- the slow-mo guys. Because I want to see a 1000 mousetraps go off in slow motion on a trampoline. And stuff.

- Dave Jenvey. Englishman learning how to mtb. Brummie Balls of steel and nerves of custard. Compelling like a car crash. Ok, bike crash. Lots of.

- failarmy. Because late night beers after a ride need this.

- MCQ Bushcraft

Dave Jenvey

Ed Pratt - the unicycle around the world guy. He makes a great bike travel video - and is a great change from the usual bikepacking dudes.

Ed Prat seconded. He met up with Chris Beaumont on his World trip.

Dave jenvey.

Don't watch tv anymore

this 🙂

Tall Order Webisodes- Bas Keep and friends, amazing bmx rider, did the Walls series and RedBull quartermaster at Revolution Bikepark.

Ben Cathro- Scottish racer and skills coach. Great insights into racing interspersed with some really cool sections on technique and line choice at world cups etc. Also, just seems a sound geezer.

Racer TV Beautiful cafe racer and custom motorcycles.

[url= https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA ]SmarterEveryDay[/url] - general sciencey stuff, explained well. Check out the one where he got invited to see the Mars Rover twin that NASA keep in a shed.
[url= https://www.youtube.com/user/standupmaths ]standupmaths[/url] - nerdy maths stuff with a bit of stand-up comedy (about maths). Lots of stuff about the maths behind day-today things.
[url= https://www.youtube.com/user/theCodyReeder ]Cody'sLab[/url] - proper dangerous physics and chemistry experiments done by a self-taught bloke in his garage.
[url= https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnyfMqiRRG1u-2MsSQLbXA ]Veritasium[/url] - more science, explained well.
[url= https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMIjEnXruVHtvgSVf6TgfUg ]WranglerStar[/url] - Some bloke who lives on and works a big chunk of the arse end of nowhere in the states. He's a god'n'guns redneck but I'll forgive him that because 95% of his videos don't mention either god or guns, and he has a passion for tools, especially antiques. I started watching for his series on building a treehouse, but stayed for the tools.

Honourable mentions:

Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - essentially him having hour long chats with celebrities/comedians using (usually slightly filthy) questions they've never been asked before. Had everyone from Fry, Izzard, Coogan, Pegg etc to lesser known.

This reads like an advert, it ain't, I just love this series!

and of course colinfurze

These days he's become a bit big time and doesn't seem to appeal so much for me.
I loved it when he was just some crazy cat in his shed but now a lot of his inventions are sponsor-led seemingly.
Mind you, he's just paying his bills I guess...
