You riding my bike every single day and of itself was horrible it was the part of the day that I dreaded the most it’s been a wild ride I haven’t really been present for the last year so where have I been I’ll be completely honest and it’s not something I want to

Admit however part of it was down to being burnt out but how could I be burnt out I was making videos riding bikes having fun essentially living the dream and I mean videos were pretty easy to make all I had to do was go out for a

Ride stick a GoPro to my helmet cut the clips together and press upload right if only if only it was as easy as that I was always one for watching other mountain biking creators not to name a few Street Pigeon MTB mrail Rider and bar peak and their videos are incredible

They’re making money they’re getting views they’re having fun riding their bikes whilst on the other hand I experienced none of that why that’s a difficult one to answer you see I thought if I just roll my bike every single day made tons of videos and trained at the gym that somehow I would

Become a professional racer I couldn’t have been further from the truth I’ll be completely honest with you riding my bike every single day and of itself was horrible it was a part of the day that I dreaded the most I would go out and if I was half a second slower

Than I was the day before I’d go back home eat a bunch of junk food fall out with my family to just repeat it the next day I completely lost to myself late 2022 early 2023 I began to get extremely overwhelmed with making content the views weren’t where I wanted

Them to be I wasn’t really having fun riding my bike and I certainly was not making money from it although I did have these visions of creating high production quality videos using drones cinematic cameras production teams all of which would cost thousands upon thousands of pounds just to make a

Single video for no one to watch it now now don’t get me wrong having goals like these and plans for the future is great but the way my brain works it wasn’t about the future it was about doing it there and then but none of it was

Feasible I was 14 years old expecting to have money like that to Blow videos when at the time I couldn’t even afford a proper mountain bike I would put a small part of this down to the fact that I have ADHD and high functioning autism

Now I do not like to use these as excuses however they do come with their pros and cons one of the pros that really stands out to me is my ability to upset and hyperfocus for instance I will continue making videos where others may

Not however a con to this is I will get burnt out a lot faster than the average person I ended up getting myself stuck in a rra I made countless scripts for new videos edited them shot them and I did nothing with them I would sit on

These videos for hours days weeks months on end contemplating whether or not to press that tedious upload button looking back it does seem quite ridiculous ridiculous I mean I was just a kid making these mountain biking videos and getting so stressed because I wasn’t getting any views so where am I going

With this this is meant to be a mountain biking Channel about just that a kid well now adult riding mountain bike so why am I going on about some little stupid so story if that’s the way it’s coming across please please click off this video right now what I’m trying to

Do with this video is share with you where my life went for the past 12 months how I’m going to rectify it and how I can hopefully help some of you guys in the process at the time of recording this video I have I think about 850 subscribers so not much I’m

Not famous there probably not going to be many people watching this although I guarantee it’ll get a couple of views so if this video resonates with at least one of those viewers at least I’m doing something right but enough rambling on about a s story and let’s talk about

What’s next introducing McRae MTB long story short I’ve decided to change the channel name from Archie McCrae MTB to McCrae MTB the reason I want people to know that my content is a focus and is high quality at first glance let’s face it we’ve all been there we’ve put MTB at

The end of our name started a YouTube channel and thought it was great thought were famous I want to be more than that but now I have a vision and a goal I don’t want to make money from this I don’t want to do it for clout or to

Become famous or to become a professional racer or get all the brand deals Under the Sun I’m doing it for myself and I’m doing it for you guys because at the end of the day I do love making videos but just not the way I was

Doing it before and I ALS o want to make some of the best mountain bike content you have ever set your eyes on that is going to be slightly difficult cuz I have a few competitors but my content isn’t going to compete with these guys like Street Pigeon MTB and B Peak

Because they’re doing different stuff for instance Street Pigeon MTB he makes epic trail Senter reviews and baron Peak he talks for himself he’s got an insane budget he’s got a whole production team which I don’t have at the minute instead the focus of the channel is going to be

More focused around improving yourself in the bike both physically and and mentally racing all around the globe sharing with you my experiences so hopefully you can take something away from it and learn from it and at the end of the day have fun riding my bike cuz I

Mean that’s why I started in the first place right so there will be no upload schedule as that puts too much pressure on myself and then I’m going out to just film rather than ride and have fun the longer form YouTube videos do take a

Little bit more time so there will be a few less of them however I will be uploading as close to if not on a daily basis on YouTube shorts and Instagram real these videos will be tips and tricks and advice and all just really good value in shorter content so if that
