Howdy folks (strange phrasing for an Englishman but I'm gonna run with it)! I'm out with Gus on the land behind my house tonight for an overnighter to see how he takes to sleeping with me in a tent. He's still being crated at night to stop accidents and chewing, but he has a good record so I'm confident be won't grand slam the tent in the night.
I'll be doing a full length vid as it'll be a fun night, but I also want to try a #short review. So, which of the below do you want to see a quick 1 min review/overview of:

Hello strangers! I've had quite a few folks (two, it was two people) asking what I'm up to and asking for more videos lately, so I thought I'd just come on here and let you know the plan.
The plan is to get going with camping, camp cooking, and outdoors videos in the coming months. I've spent the past few years sorting out the truck, building a pretty ridiculous selection of camp setups, and more recently, adopting the camp dog!
So I give you Gus. Training has begun and he's coming along nicely. He's a Spanish street mongrel we've adopted from a rescue centre in Granada, so it's hard to say what he is or how big he'll get. Somewhere in the region of 10kg I think, which is perfect. Big enough to hold his own on some good hikes and little enough to carry on the bikepacking rig (and so as he doesn't take up too much room in the tents).
So that's the plan. Keep an eye out for Gus and I out for a camp in the near future (after I get him to stop crapping in the house). ๐๐๐ฉ

SOLD SOLD SOLD!!! As long as there are no issues the old Canyon Strive is about to leave me after almost 4 years of fun and memories. I am also not going to be replacing it! I'm changing and as such so the channel changes with me. I don't take much enjoyment out of riding in 30c heat (unless it's in a bike park) being a January born Englishmen, and so I never really get into a good year round riding routine out here. If it's not enjoyable you tend not to do it so much.
I am still enjoying outdoor adventures but in the form of Bikepacking trips and I have just added a Kayak to the toy collection. I did a bikepacking overnighter a few weekends ago but it was hot and dehydration headache filled, so why not spend the summer months Kayak camping instead? So this is where the channel is headed. Another rebranding! Not worth starting a new channels as it's still in the outdoor arena so I hope some subs will stick about, but the trail riding days are over for now, so I totally understand the reasoning for those of you that will unsub. Thanks for sticking around this long!
For the ones that are staying - Bikepacking - Kayaking - Camping - The Great (Spanish) Outdoors!
Bikepacking in the cooler parts of Spring/Autumn and obviously Winter snow trips.
Kayaking in the warmer parts of Spring/Autumn and all Summer long!
Thanks again guys and please do unsub if you have no interest in the above. I appreciate the support over the years but I want to keep an active community on here with plenty of engagement with the vids! Just pop back and check out some of my old vids once in a while. Keep you sub list short with notifications on for the other awesome MTB channels!

Howdy folks! Video dropping tomorrow and I'm drawing inspiration from some relaxing camping/outdoors videos and channels I've been watching. I'm hoping a bit of zen and some adrenaline fueled downhill will make for an odd but entertaining combo. This guys is a big inspiration for what I'll be doing more of in the next videos - โช@erik_normarkโฌ - I really want to enrich the videos with sound and b-roll just to slow things down between the trail riding bits. Be prepared for watching me make some trail side coffee with my camping stove!

Hello mountain bikers! I've been mulling it over, planning videos and putting in some work to completely revamp the channel into something new before the end of 2019. I'll be taking much more time over each video and have been working on all the post production stuff like animations and such things, to give everything a much more polished look. I'll be coming back in September or October of 2019, making much more professional, cinematic and pre-planned videos, that will knock your socks off.
Why September? There are two main reasons. Firstly, we have a house move to do in August. Secondly, I don't want to start until I have the GoPro 8 to use for my POV filming. I don't want anymore sound or stabilization issues and while the GoPro 7 would get it done, it seems a shame not to wait when it's releasing in September. Maybe I'll get the 7 in the meantime as I am looking forward to getting back on the Tube!
That's it, see you soon!

Hi guys, I've been back a month, built back my video making form over the 8 vids I've done and uploaded an array of video types all in the niche of MTB. Each and every video has unfortunately tanked and I'm struggling to figure out why.
Please fill out the poll below and help me figure out what's going wrong and how I can make better content for you!

This is so inspiring. I have no idea how Eric shreds so hard as seen in the dry runs at the start and then the whole story of the video. Brilliant! Easily the most improved rider out of everyone i watch regularly on here. watch video on watch page

Hey dudes! Busy as a bee at the minute with work, finding/buying a new (old) car that will be sweet for carrying the bike, sorting residency in Spain, planning a non-mtb trip to the UK to get our stuff and a move on the horizon. Will work on some vids this week but the schedule may be a bit patchy for a while.
We're moving further east in Spain and this place is going to be featuring rather a lot on my channel from a few months time - https://youtu.be/oCZmrf7Ajes
There's a ton of vids on the place but no gimbal footage so I'm hoping to become the leading YouTuber featuring La Fenasosa Bike Park! It's open all year apart from August when it's mega hot. Can't wait!

No video on Monday but I will be going live the evening of the day I hit 2000 subs! Loads to discuss so keep an eye out!
