Which is the best tyre for scaring dog walkers on NT land? 31 minutes is far too long and I'm an old fart with an attention span, the yoof of today will struggle to watch anything longer than a TikTok video!

I know dooms!!
The issue was by trying to condense it to a short 10/15m vid, I would miss something.
I'll probably follow this vid up with a written review for none English speaking viewers but I doubt I'll make another long vid like this (unless I'm paid too) ?

A voiceover rather than constant chatter would allow you to condense the video to 5 minutes per tyre and say all you need to in that time.

I think I'll use this template as a method for doing other comparisons. Even so, it was difficult to condense it to my usual 15min length.

Anywho, I think the next comparison vid will be mtb related and then I'll jump back to emtb related.

As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions ??

I don't think, currently, you should be giving out advice on what equipment is best. Book yourself a day at Bike Park Wales or equivalent, and try some mountain biking, because at present you are not doing any. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but if unsuspecting individuals take advice from you by watching your videos then it's the blind leading the blind you could potentially be giving out dangerous guidance.

your videos are far too long and cliched in commentry.

Well, feedback is feedback!!!
Maybe should just return to bike parks and get over my fear of being discriminated against again.

Mountain bikings all about commitment. And I'm committed to getting better.

Thanks for your comment ??

Nothing wrong with making a blog and showing your learning. Hell, that's how Rob on here started off his YouTube blog and with this forum,, and look at him now!... A youtube influencer! I just don't like it when people re-invent themselves and claim to know what they are preaching when they do not. It's pretentious.

are there no mtb centres or purpose made trails anywhere near where you live or within travelable distance?

You have a bit more privilege to visit a trail center and work the edge of your skills without being treated like you don't belong there.

That said, Doom makes a good point. It's just a lot easier for us to say that from a position of our own privilege.

Hey, hey, hey!!!
Let's not get into that today. Afterall, we all should share the trails together.

There are local trail centres near myself @apac. Most notably would be Sandwell Valley which I've featured on my channel. But as you (and many others) have hinted, my skills need improving. So I'll do that.

@Gyre, we've gotta meet someday. I'm all for meeting new riders ??

@Doomanic, referring to a different thread you made concerning bike thefts at Cannock Chase. Is it safe now or still 'same old, same old'?

You're not alone in that. You need to ride more in general and ride more challenging terrain in particular. Get some coaching. Ride more. Ride more varied terrain. Ride more.
Can't stress enough the importance of finding the right kind of trail to challenge your skill level without being overwhelming. Otherwise, it's too easy to stagnate riding deep inside your comfort zone.

Coaching, yes, absolutely. A good coach can help you jump years ahead of where you'd be through trial and error on your own.

Thread cleaned.

@Neeko DeVinchi Everyone is treated the same on the forum and everyone is welcome, even fat bike owners (you know who you are). Please refrain from making provocatory posts claiming people are racist just because they disagree with you, posting video's with unsubstantiated claims that people are racist or making inflammatory posts insinuating that everyone on the forum is racist.

If you write a post or link a video and people disagree with what you've said, it's a public forum, they're entitled to reply.

Do not post further posts in the "Wasteland" section of the forum as it makes it appear that your posts have been moved there by the moderators in a discriminatory manner.

I'll also remind you again to not issue ultimatums to the moderators (unrelated to this thread) or as we stated, as per forum policy, your account will be deleted.

For everyone else : this thread will remain locked for one week to give everyone time to reflect and not feel the need to explain or justify themselves.

Screeching your brakes at dogs on a footpath and claiming them to be out of control…

Illegal bikes in National trust Parks…

Then bombing around a golf course ???‍♂️??‍♂️

Whatever next. ??

it astounds me how wide open you put yourself up for criticism mate.

its a shame as you seem a nice bloke and your videos are enthusiastic. But have a think before posting
