Emtb Video Stars

[Stihldog]

Emtb video stars.
I can only think of one network off the top of my head and that’s EMBN, and this Channel, in the UK. They’re covering all the angles and including lots of content.
There are also some great MTB video networks from all over the world and the one’s that are relevant to me and my area, I subscribe too.
I’ve seen the switch to Emtb in the past few years (especially lately) but not from the hard core enthusiasts. I wonder if they’re out there or are they about to take the leap.

Rob is definitely an EMTB video star and his unbiased content is always very good.

Pinkbike puts a lot of BC based articles and video content as well as the odd titbit of Emtb content but for relevant content in your own area I'd just stick with normal mtb channels. There's very little difference really.

Sams bikes emtb only
Pinned has a lot of EMTB content but he’s just got in with Rocky Mountain so it will be that bramd only

Seems to me most content for the usual suspects now has emtb's in it pretty regularly.

Sam Pilgrim I suppose. His channel is whacky to say the least but he's got all the moves & since hooking up with Haibike, has put a big spotlight on what an Emtb can do.

I like Sam Pilgrims stuff, I don't religiously watch his vids, but he reminds me of dicking about on bikes as a kid, and the joy of just getting on your bike and finding something to have fun on - In a world where a lot of vids are serious bizzniss he rinds me that at the end of the day its about riding whatever and having a laugh.

Best Day Ever MTB
Reviews E MTBs and sends it with his middle aged crew of Kiwi lunatics . Quite entertaining .

Kiwi lunatics

The second word it naturally implied by the use of the first word. It's globally accepted that you don't have to use the two words together.

Brendog does a lot on EMTB too!

Interesting times .
With less racing . And coverage of racing limited to highlights . You Tubers can / will be just as , if not more important for marketing than sponsored pro racers who don`t make videos .

Racers may be less influential than product reviewers ??

Rob 'fog horn' Warner has a channel fun to watch but he's so loud you have to keep adjusting the sound levels. I was watching his video last night, wasn't quite quick enough when he went full howler monkey and got moaned at by the misses .

Van Girl Yuka - has fears, weaknesses, funny, and a really weird "ok then" attitude mixed with unstoppable can't help herself have to do it thing https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNY35R25jDh_hoCPB2hQvg

I met Yuka a few months ago.
Off topic; The accents are strong …tooks me months to figure out what they were saying. ?

I think she's awesome. I deleted the post because I realised it was supposed to be emtb.

I think savvy manufacturers know that most folk look to youtube for reviews of mtb and emtb and everything to do with them. Knowing that, I imagine it's where most of the manufacturers advertising dollars are going now. This also means some youtubers are just glorified advertisers.

Off topic again; Too late, I saw it. ?
Yuka and her husband visit our hill occasionally. I like her vids …kinda funny too. My neighbor went to school with her. Knows both quite well.

Thats also the issue with the EMBN channel in my opinion. Never seems to be unbiased content.

Got fed up with embn. The latest video I watched was how to set your seat hight. Got fed up waiting for them to tell you the method. Skipped through and it looks like it was never there.
I do like Boots on the ground. Seems like a top bloke, just sorry he's having issues with his Haibike.

They're all good I think. Such a shame there were no GoPro's in our day. Most of my footage would've been from inside of casualty! First name terms with most of the nurses. Great gravel rash episode I recall. We were literally testing the grip limits of tyres on the road, lost the front. Not pretty. Head butted the corner of the house one day. Fully committed to the turn into the drive, dad was reversing the car out. The only line was over the low wall into the corner of the house. Like and subscribe - eh? what?

At least now it is obvious - they display that message overlay during the start of the videos "includes paid promotion". They (esp Steve) seem to be a lot less specialized biassed now too. I suspect this is due to feedback in the comments of quite a few videos from 4 - 6 months ago. I have only recently started watching them again. Although at that time I think they were solely promoting specialized bikes, now they are advertising for any manufacturers. Specialized must have paid them back then for exclusivity.

 

[RustyMTB]

I find EMBN content a bit thin at the best of times but in all fairness, they literally list their sponsor bosses under every video. Watch anything from EMBN & it's nailed on they'll be banging on about Spesh, Ergon, Garmin, Maxxis, Park Tools. It should hardly come as a surprise.

 

[Sidepod]

I don’t think it matters really. Most of us here are more than capable of researching and deciding what to buy on our own. It’s just nice to switch off at the end of a day and watch some eeb stuff.

This one isn't!

I should know, because it's my channel Both the YT channel and norwegian website has got no income from the brands/distributors. We choose to be completely independent over getting paid.

EMBN has reached the point where its content overlaps so much, it should just be a segment of GMBN.
