Totally agree guys, the elite level riders pumping out their practically unedited vlogs gives a proper “behind the scenes” look into the major biking events that us normies would never be able to see (like at Hardline, World Cups, Crankworks etc). It would be so cool to see more people do what BK does.

Deaks is a legend, as you all are. I love watching your content because it’s so real

[@_3.time_]

Deaks, proper legend!

[@cheekymunky80]

Arrested in your pants is pretty tame for a boot neck. Legend Deaks!!

[@MdAmdadulHaque-mb2ww]

Great content

[@theodunstan423]

Met deaks at a windhill race when I was about 11, absolute legend and a proper down to earth bloke

[@TheRideCompanion]

Big up

[@turdwarbler]

I really like these talky videos with everybodys history

[@TheRideCompanion]

Hahaha good, there’s HUNDREDS more of them here on the channel!

Deakin scummily asks photographers for race photo in return for "exposure". Does the tax make take exposure as payment? When I was younger I stupidly took his offer and got 0 return from it
