Matt, I enjoy your jibber jabber. Long format is much more entertaining! I particularly enjoyed the live streams in Japan on the street corner where the lady kept telling you to move! JaYoe! Love to Anni Bananni and Princess Eva!
Long-form, always. I like the patter and your thoughts/opinions about the ride. Stroke is what put me on a trike after 20 years on an upright bike. My trike has been a way to get away from the pressures of home life and medical worries. Riding has brought me more improved health and pleasure than I can tell you. After a stroke and three bouts of cancer, it keeps me going!
I prefer the long form videos. You get a better feel for the trail and its features. A for features, surface type, climbing, proximity to traffic, restroom service, restaurants, vistas, length. Those are the ones that come to mind for me. Thanks for sharing.
I love the “jibber jab” as you refer to it. 😂Your commentary is rare and priceless. Isn’t that why we’re all here, for the authentic Matt experience ? 🤷♀️ Keep shining, sharing and inspiring. It changes lives ya know? We sure appreciate what you’ve done.
The 360 x3 can do shorts really easy with ai it fast and pain less personally i am not into shorts at all like long content but thing shorts are good for like trailers but link to your longer video
Well Matt I’m going to give my two cents. I personally preferred to watch longer videos of people riding. It’s a wonderful thing to see someone do a trail or a route, it takes you to a different place being able to be transported to a different part of the world is therapeutic for some people, especially for those who can’t go to many places due to anything like physical disabilities or just don’t have the financial resources to go to these places that you are able to show them, or maybe they are skeptical of trying to go to these places and you showing your life and lots of your life will inspire someone to get out there to go do the things you’ve done, and I think you showing long videos of that helps a lot. The shorter videos are ok as well especially if there really isn’t a story to tell and it’s just like an impromptu video. I know you know Sylvia aka Travles by Trike and she’s decided to go with a shorter video format and I’m kinda sad about it because I miss her longer videos, and like I said before I feel like your videos are like a tv show and idk about you but I always like long episodes rather than short ones because then you feel cheated and leaves you wanting more! lol That’s my two cents so I hope that helps. I also think that idea of you taking the van to different trails and riding them would be GREAT, maybe do an all 50 state trail tour! You could start in Alaska and do 3 popular trails and then work your way back down to Washington and then Oregon, California do some riding in northern Cali the Bay Area then jump over to Hawaii from California do some cycling on all of the islands then jump back to Cali and do some riding in southern Cali like Hollywood, Beverly Hills and all that stuff I think getting a pic of the trike in front of the Hollywood sign would be awesome! lol and then move on to Nevada then Utah and move up and down until you move all the way to the east coast, just an idea for you (when you get to Arkansas don’t forget to look me up lol). Sorry to ramble on lol 😂
Your huge experience applied to evaluation of Bicycle Trails also sounds hugely more usable to majority of riders! Your drone experience would obviously be a huge addition to scenery viewing. Personally, I prefer bicycle trails separate from any car traffic. Thinking long form would be hugely inclusive on multiple video details inclusiveness. Few travel internationally. Most every "recumbenteer" rides on local OR fairly local Bicycle Trails! Would be a HUGE plus of videoing your Bicycle Trail rides!
I think short videos are better because it's easoer to make and generate more views. It's unfortunate you didn't got the deer footages, I would like to see it. Anyways good job on the installation of the shower.
How much harder would a non-powered Tifly X be than a mountain bike climbing steep gravel roads? My hands and wrists can't take a traditional bike anymore.
Trial Signage both along the trail and directing you to it. Trail Safety, does it go through some sketchy areas or is it just rural? Trail interaction with traffic? Does it cross a lot of busy roads? Does it just ride along a busy road? For example, a trail might be really nice, except that it follows a busy highway... which sucks. How much of the trail is shaded vs sunny? Is it Buggy or have other positive/negative wildlife interactions? You gotta watch out for those evil "ducks"! HAHAHAHA! Does it have a speed limit? I have a nice trail near me but there is a posted speed limit of 10 MPH for bikes (and I presume trikes). How busy is it? Are there lots of pedestrians you have to watch out for? Other riders? Other limitations? Some trails might not allow electric assist for instance.
@@Lhaffinatu all great ideas. Maybe the busy score would be hard to gauge. I might just be there on a slow time or day. But score a trail that is super packed normally.
Long form videos for me. I resist TikTok style short (addictive) videos. We already have trouble paying attention for any length of time. I think short hyper-interesting videos are kind of like eating dessert all the time. It tastes great, but long term it won't be good...
I like long form content and don't mind the jabbering you tell good stories about things you see and about your life in general. I don't do shorts on my channel much either.
Keep the jibber-jabber. I like listening to Matt jibber-jabber. LoL On trails, is it shared by bikers and pedestrians? Do people walk on the wrong side of the path? Are they e-bike friendly? Or do you have “Karen’s” telling you to get off the trail?? LoL
I think a mix of longer form as well as short form videos might be best, for widest appeal. I am here for those trikes--wish you spend a few minutes going over your trike or your friends' trike in detail before the ride. Name the brand names of your kit features, weight components wheels brakes derailleurs accessories costs, how to get into "triking" on a budget or how to do it with all the bells and whistles. I know you've done a lot of these, but maybe before each ride a quick review of your (or friend's) set up would be great!
Gotta have the commentary of the video maker. Can't stand the videos with generic music. I like the commentary on the trail scenery, how the bike feels, are you riding against the wind etc.
Give me some ideas for evaluating trails I ride.
Paved or not
Maintenance - condition of surface, weeds trimmed back, tree debris removed, etc.
Services nearby like camping, restaurants, hotels, bike shops, etc.
Parking areas secure?
Toilet facilities?
Electricity?
Trail Difficulty, Scenic Value, Trail Maintenance, Trail Flow, Crowd Levels, Accessibility, Environmental Impact, Trail Variety, Weather & Seasonal Factors, Personal Enjoyment, Bear Occupation, Beer-Friendly Aspects.
Love the longer content giving info and conversation. We get to see trails many of us will never ride. Keep,up,the good work.
Matt, I enjoy your jibber jabber. Long format is much more entertaining! I particularly enjoyed the live streams in Japan on the street corner where the lady kept telling you to move! JaYoe! Love to Anni Bananni and Princess Eva!
I like the long form best; however, I would watch & enjoy anything you publish!

Love this! It really highlights the beauty of Stevens Point!
Love your longer videos
I like the longer vlogs Matt .
All your criteria for trails are good, but I also am interested in if there are any adjoining campgrounds. Am enjoying your videos.
not sure abotu the campgrounds.. but i am sure there must be
The trees were there first! ;-P :-D BTW there was a Best Buy within riding distance of the Hostel Shoppe. Better luck next year!
These trikes are getting fancier and fancier... I knew of e-assist but autoshifter?!! Like holy smokes how much more convenient do you want it lol
We "handicappers" logically should HUGELY avoid cassette shifting!!!!!

@@TheSouthernTriker that’s a great idea. Best three trails in the 50 states.
As a velomobile pilot, I would like to know curve radius on trails.

I like the ten to fifteen minute videos.
I don't care what filming style you use as long as it's all on your trike!
Long or short, as long as you have something to say or topic to cover within the time allotted it will be a good video with judicious editing.

@@sherristrikesandtractors yea. It’s crazy how shorts is where the future of content is though
@@JaYoeNation yes they seem to do well
The longer vidios I ride on my catrike 700 when I can not go outs roller a re great

@@DaninVirginia good ideas!
If you like the down hills you need come ride with me
longer content... please...
I Hate short videos, I want ride in total!
Longer videos
I think of your short videos as a teaser for your longer videos. The shorter version will bring new viewers, advertise the azub trike.
Long form please, longer the better!
Long content!
Try doing that in China...
I got Tily X, the boomer saying T fly play so Hamza fuck me up I still want my tea fly X OK I buy from Chris
long videos I like better.
