Brendan Fairclough’s triumphant YouTube debut: MTB from home to the moon

Brendan Fairclough is one of those who has known how to find an opportunity in the current context of pandemic. Most of the MTB events in the world were canceled … and he started recording videos for YouTube. He did it so well that After his first Vlog, on April 3, 8 months have passed and he already has 70,000 subscribers on your channel.

“Mountain Bike has gone crazy and it is wonderful to be able to enjoy it”, says the British pilot to close the writing that accompanies the YouTube video with which he summarizes all these months. A copy that begins with a “what year have we had: good, bad and strange things, we have had everything”.

In the text, Fairclough explains that for years he had not started at YT because “I didn’t want to persistently start creating mediocre content on MTB”, but he has finally fallen for it and loves it. Thanks especially to the help of his friend Beney, with whom he has recorded and edited almost everything he has done.

From here, the British biker explains a little the highlights of his year 2020, especially highlighting the trips -in a year with few trips- to Madeira for the TransMadeira, “my discovery of enduro, as hard as it is incredibly fun”; and the one who did To Germany for the Audi Nines, “an incredible event with inhuman jumps and spikes that pushed us to break each other’s limits”. Yes, that event that looks like they ride on the moon …

In addition, he also talks about two of the videos that have been the most successful on YouTube: when he decided to create a Red Bull Rampage at home and a jump in the garden. “Both projects have kept us entertained for months and have been very fun to record. I am looking forward to summer and colleagues can come and enjoy the set up that I have assembled at home,” he confesses.

Finally, acknowledge that thank you By confinement he has been able to discover incredible MTB areas close to home that he would never have otherwise enjoyed because I would be traveling through Whistler, New Zealand or bikeparks in Europe. And he thanks all the people who have supported him in such a difficult time, as well as those who have taken the bike – whatever their level – and have had a great time riding despite the lack of normality.
