Why I “don’t make mountain biking videos” anymore

On almost every video I get a comment about “bringing back the mountain biking videos”. This is usually from a viewer yearning for the old days where me and some friends would hit the trails and document the experience. Today, we’ll talk about why I rarely do that anymore-with a mountain bike ride as the backdrop!

Plenty of people do trail reviews, but I like the bike hacks and product reviews from a more realistic viewpoint. If something is crap you’re honest about it. And to be honest, you can’t be everything for everyone. You’re a great ambassador for the mountain biking industry, and have helped a lot of people, including me, to get interested in getting off our duffs and get outside on the trails. Just be you.

I swear, I feel like the biggest fanboy right now, probably sound like it too, but it's just a different world I'm learning about today that apparently took off long ago and specifically a decade ago with Seth.

I've been watching you for precisely 6 years now, and I'd say, your channel changed and grew with the audience. A lot of channels remain the same and their primary audience grows out of age, but you've grown with the audience, and the fact you have a growing family is why you should continue doing what you're doing now. People change with regards to needs, and you've done just that. With that being said, this was a joy to watch! Old School Seth lifts me up in times like this. It's like a family now

One option for when a trail you ride “goes viral” to help the local stewards might be to research and give kudos to the local groups that maintain them. Might even get some donations for those trail systems, bc people are going to search out what they see, and maybe they would give a little support. Thanks for the entertaining videos!

Now here I am riding and building, and posting my own trail building videos on my channel, I’ve now built full trails in total. Also I don’t know what state the trails are but I think everyone would love to see you give us a tour of ur backyard and you ride stuff. Anyways, thanks again Seth🙏

You have a concept for each video even uploading after injury. I will always remember the ride with Alexander that you popped his shoulder back in or the ride on Slikrock, I build my first front wheel with help from your video and had a dream to do something similar. You took us on so many rides and always stayed down to earth even after being one of the biggest mtb channels. For that I thank you Seth, all the love and prosperity to you and your family.

Thanks for this video and all the videos you make. I started watching your channel because you had a video on balance bikes and teaching kids to ride. I kept watching because your videos are well made and entertaining. I feel like I have learned a lot about mountain bikes and the bicycle industry by watching your videos. I've never been a mountain bike rider, but I used to be way into road bikes when I was a teenager and college student. I still ride my Raleigh Sport three speed to work whenever I don't have to pick up the kids or run errands. I probably won't take up mountain bike riding in my fifties, but it sure makes me want to get outside on some of the bike trails and paths in my region.

I love all your content, if it mentions bikes, bike parts, riding, bike apparel, etc I will watch. Keep doing what you are doing. The variety is great.

I started watching your channel when you did a lot of mountain biking videos and that is why I subscribed. I do miss those videos and wish you did more of them but I understand why you dont do them anymore. Being a good dad and husband and being there with them is more important, family always comes before work. I do really enjoy your channel still and always look forward to watching new videos. Keep up the good work!

I love your early videos more on line of riding in natural enviroment than bikeparks.

I found you through the trail builds in your backyard and through your various mountain biking trips. These kinds of videos are the ones I subbed for and I think that a lot of people would agree with me. Those two concepts are likely what have driven the most views to your channel. Maybe I'm wrong! But I find those kinds the most entertaining.
