Building a YETI XTR spec mountain bike

This Yeti SB140 is part of our ongoing YouTube channel content showing the our bike workshop and what we get up to on a day to day basis. We are doing one a week at the moment and we have a diverse selection of bike builds going on to show you. Ross my son helped me kick it all off a few years ago and he has worked really hard to get us established on YouTube,when he went to Uni to study Maths we were not sure if we would be able to carry on doing them, I had a few try's at filming and editing myself but it was soon clear I would need some help if we were to carry on. That's where Chris Davies at Eastwood Media stepped in, he offered his services and has been great to work with taking up where Ross left off. Ross is still has an input into what we are doing, he has some great ideas and has learned a lot about the film editing and production process, what he doesn't know about how to do stuff on YouTube isn't worth knowing. Chris is no stranger to us, we have worked on various film projects before together, he even did a bike build video in 2015 way before it was a thing. If i remember rightly he even suggested we do this sort of thing when we first started the bike shop and he wanted to get us going with it back then. He even got us to do his drone flying course a few years ago which was great.
But anyway here we are with our little YoutTube channel putting out some nice content, please take a look and like the films we do if you like them but please feel free to comment on them and Subscribe to our channel, it's free to do and we can keep you up to date with new projects.  Cheers   Joe.

Coast to coast Wheelie video on YouTube

Yes just as the title implies we have added the Coast to coast Wheelie video to our YouTube channel, it's from back in 2010 so the quality is not as good as it would be if we filmed it with more modern equipment but it still captures what happened on the day quite well.

It was a ride to raise money and awareness for Stephen Murray who had a serious accident while doing a double back flip in a BMX competition, here is the link to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxkTRrrm8s5odoKZYsdB6Mg/featured
