An incredibly significant lesson to arts, being authentic. There is only one you. Authenticity is the result of being as honest as you can, while giving your best in all you do. Know your/you're love
@@MarkMatthewsMTBI’m sure they pay well and I don’t begrudge creators need to get payed. But think of the negative impact a company like better help has on people in vulnerable positions. Better help has shared sensitive health data of their customers to advertisers in the past. Data that then can be used to exploit peoples mental health issues (think casino ads for people who struggle with gambling addiction just to name one example). I totally get the need to earn a living but please consider the harm you can cause by endorsing companies that exploit peoples mental health for their own gain.
Hey man. I've got a question for ya. I don't know anything about the Cumberland trails but I'm thinking of making the trip over to check them out. I know that its been frosty so I was wondering what trails are the best in those conditions. Thanks.
"Strugling" is relative. If you compare MTB, trail riding to some other niche sports its hardly strugling. Bike brands selling bikes in a costs bigger then motorbikes... 😂😂😂
@@MarkMatthewsMTBI don't think that's the case. MTB as a whole isn't struggling. Racing in MTB? Maybe. The ratio between hobby riders (those who occasionally visit bike parks or ride trails) and racers (those who participate in local competitions) is vast. Of course, the market's trajectory isn't heading upwards anymore, but that's a natural process. It peaked before COVID, and now we're seeing a return to "normal" levels.
The sad about the bike industry is people are sponsored by followers or like not due to skill set, like your page is big due to digging not your actual trick list. keep dong what your doing
You might follow me for digging, but my analytics show majority of my growth is from short riding edits, that’s why it’s important to have a variety of content under your umbrella of interests 👍
👍 it is really nice to see an optimistic and motivational video like this while others are just crying about lost sponsorships and bad industry situation 🥲
Slowly growing in both TH-cam and Instagram. The future is bright.
@@RapidoRafi-MTB nice! 👊

Amazing video bro!!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
thanks for this! I love MTB and film making but struggling to find the niche!
Happy to help!
Geezus. Does Betterhelp sponsor literally every youtube content creator? Didn't expect to start seeing them on my hardcore mtb channels.
Haha maybe! It’s a pretty awesome hook up

Economy of scale and materials

First comment pin 📍
Appreciate you! 🙏 but asking for pinned comments isn’t a good strategy to get noticed. What are your goals?

Thanks 🔥
