I found your channel through Saintberrys, Dave is still low key one of the best Aussie mtb RUclipsrs haha.

Surprised I didn't bump into you at some point, I was there recording all of the Bulli trails yesterday morning too 🤙

Appears as though i need to explore bulli more

What sick trails, that Bunker trail at the end looked wicked.

yep I know all about the cicadas, upon watching a video i recorded of myself it sounded like my bike hand Industry 9 hubs on em :)

Mad day on bikes bro! Thanks for being tour guide 👊 follow cam at the end was sick

Shreddy 🤘

Was between the GX AXS in silver and the new Stout version. I went for the stout for a direct to consumer price. If I would have bought the GX AXS, the red Zebb would be my go to fork! Looks great!

Is this easier to mount on rim with only hands use? The original WE racing lines are very hard to mount.

THANK YOU for giving us Cuddles 👌👌That roll still gets the heart pumping! Agreed on the long 30-40min formats. That last trail, world class features for all! 😃 Enjoy the family time, flies by too quick! Looking forward to see what you have for us all in the new year.

I just got a 2023 sight a3 for a really good deal 1800 bucks US. Kinda had to. Switching over my nobl tr37’s. Diety cockpit and new Lewis LHT’s. And drivetrain to XT. Should lighten it up a lot. And putting my 36 with x2 damper and my fox float x factory. So for the initial purchase price and with all my parts I had. I think I’m gonna have one hell of a trail bike. Btw. Great content. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for putting out good content. Cheers man. Merry Christmas.

Great riding!😊

5:15 I assure you its not easy to make good looking footage. More than 95% of big channels have awful looking video. Just look at Remy or especially MoiMois latest videos. You dont even need to pause them to tell theyre low resolution but if you pause Remys even when hes parked the video looks like 320p on a 50" tv. Current cameras have great stability with the trade off for low resolution. Then mic it with most uploads being 24/30fps because they claim it makes their riding look faster.

All the best Craig! You know who to come to for some loose follow cams… 👀😉

Huge fan of the channel Craig, and always loved the regular posts, but long format, quality vids every month sounds great! Looking forward to the new direction for the channel and wish you all the best mate 👊

Hmmm that looks like it would be fun on a hardtail 😁

Keen as to see where and how you take this new chapter mate, you're doing it for the right reasons 👌

Love your vids! Understand you cutting back for valid reasons but I disagree with one thing you said. I would totally come back to watch the trails you re-ride. They change often enough, have a look at bunker run at the moment. Plus your content strikes the sweet spot for me. I would watch or rewatch your vids over a heap of other RUclipsrs. I think I’ve seen all of your vids over the past few years at least. Regardless, keep up the great work in whatever capacity it may be. Enjoy mate.

Interesting video. Your point about being a father and how you spend your time, is really great. I'm close to 50 and my kids are teenagers. Spend quality time with them while you can! Graciously accept that riding and having fun is still awesome but goals change and you won't ever be that lightning-fast invincible 28 year old again. Priorities change and we don't bounce when we hit the ground like we used to.

Family first for sure …. Good idea to show case up and coming riders … that last trail 👌🏼. I need to come over there for another ride

hey Im an 14 year old up and coming rider with multiple businesses that i have started to fund my racing dream. i would be over the moon to show you around my setup and everything else involved.

OGs remember Saintberry. Miss that content.

You've got some great terrain & woods that look fantastic. I was hoping it was somewhere in the US, but I'm guessing NZ. Also cool to hear that you work on the trails.

Been a fan since your days with riding the norco bikes 🤘 Really love your content especially the muddy Awaba race and Ourimbah super flow on the optic! Love how you’ll take channel forward with supporting talents. Good luck!!

where are these trails they look sick

I think you underestimate the value of POV of the trails you ride. They are so unique for Australia or at least for QLD so I love watching them.

>people wont come back and watch the same trails Other channels redo "how to do XYZ" and other niche content leaders are replaced by those doing exactly the same thing. I am unsure if having new edits of the same trails is great but I am unsure if it should be completely discounted. Particularly if you do longer format.

Cracking trail there at the end - the amount rock work is insane!! Glad to see you are not hanging up the camera my friend as I can relate to your riding, rather than people like Remy who are amazing but I am never getting to that level ever.... so your vids I will always watch. I feel you on the young family and time, my kids priorities make it nearly impossible for me these days to ride let alone contemplate even making vids, so to now require ones that are super long.... hard pass. I really hope next year adjusts to allow a bit more time for me to get back out on the bike and I would love to ride with you more (although may need a moto just to keep up 🤪) so fingers crossed things pan out for us both!

Hey Mcphee, been watching your channel now for quite a while and love your vids. Its very sad to see all these awesome youtubers leave the Mtb scene such as BCpov, vancan, mahalo my dude etc... but glad to see your still gonna be making vids. i also have a question about the RS vivid air vs the vivid coil? is there a significant reduction in playfulness or liveliness between the two. I would be putting it on quite a progressive frame so bottom out wouldn't be an issue. Which one did you prefer? Thanks Mchphee!

That last track... Oh my, so much work has been done on that! It's been a pleasure riding with you when I have my Sydney trips! Look forward to more and the future of the channel at it's slower pace.

BCPov is another one that’s gone, though Eric has started a new channel as he’s travelling around the world on a motorbike. It’s an interesting one. I think the other issue is the cycling industry as a whole has tanked post covid, people just aren’t all that interested in mtb let alone consuming mtb content anymore either. I’ve been a huge consumer of mtb RUclips content but I’ve scaled right back, I still watch Dale Stone without fail but these days I’d rather chill to some Japanese or Korean manufacturing videos 😂

That last trail is absolutely insane.

Great showcase of local (unnamed, unfound) gems as usual. Again, you've made all these steep gnarly natural trails look easy, they so aren't! You've always kept it positive and I thank you for the support of Mal Mtb. Im not sure POV is dead, but it needs a layer of creativity on top which does take time, and with a young family there's never enough time. Great direction you're taking the channel. Power to you Craig 🤟

You’ve done well to keep pushing out quality content all these years!

I was only able to get though 15 minutes, but I cried the whole time.

Any video you make I always make it a priority to watch! Even before dashcams Australia! Lol If the videos are only monthly that's totally fine mate, your content is quality. Remember it's the quality over quantity! I've been back and re-watched your videos all the time!

Hey Craig been watching you for years, I’m actually Emma’s husband but didn’t have a Gmail so go under pseudonym haha, love your local content as a wonny person and watched your first hits at S flute a million times. Definitely a favorite. Glad you’re continuing with it all and appreciate everything you do.good luck mate

Great videos great content , love that you don’t have crap music playing over the top of your videos. I like the sound of your new direction of videos too. Remember to always be kind to yourself and family. See you in 2025 mate.

Love the idea to bring in up and coming riders will be sure to give those a watch!!

Great video, new direction concept sounds fresh and unique and is just what RUclips needs! 👏👍

Totally understand. Family must always come first. As a 52 year old rider who is (let's be honest, completely obsessed with MTB), your channel has been an incredible source of inspiration and knowledge. Your video from a few years back helped me hit the rock roll feature at Mill Creek (A-line only). I followed your instruction and hit it competently. Please know as you dial back that your videos have been watched and very much appreciated.

Well how peculiar. There are no comments

what are the climbs like around these trails?, doable on an analogue or will i be dead after 3 laps? thanks love the content

Is this woronora?

I wonder if there are bodies buried beneath that extensive rock work?

Bro that's cool trail

My hood. I’ll have to go find this!

that trail looks sick!

Nuts! What area is this?

I literally was thinking 'how goods the rock work on this trail!' When you posted it to insta 😂😂
