Video Bike Check Thoughts?

I see video bike checks are ideal if you want to throw in riding clips and don't want to get into too much detail about stuff like BB headset, etc.
My friends bike check ended up on the Subrosa site, he's good friends with Simone.

Try to put in some effects without overdoing it and try to use some good quality camera, no one likes stuff filmed with a potato.

its a samsung action sports cam. its not the best but it works. quality isnt amazing but it aint shit either. i got it for a warranty receipt. i linked to the camera

I don't mind them if they are actually done well, edited well, and have some riding clips.

It's true though, a nicely filmed edit appeals more to the viewer.

Pros who are talking about custom mods interesting

People on forums doing them are gay. Only thing worse is un packing videos

I prefer checks where you see the person build the bike. Also i quite like it when the person who has built the bike does a little run down on the parts they ride & why they ride them & actually know what they are talking about! I wouldnt mind trying a video bike check when the Benny is all sorted out.

Sean Burns has the best video bike checks.

Who even watches people unboxing shit?

Bike checks when pros do them are cool, it gets the public pumped to buy the parts they're running. It's more advertising the parts when pros are involved. Riders in general like to see what their favorite rider is rolling on. When average joe's like you and i do them it's less likely to get some kid watching to be pumped to buy so and so frame, part, whatever...

Is what is though. I don't mind watching a bike check no matter who's it is. As long as you give good reviews and feedback on the parts you're riding it'll be a good, informative bike check. There are viewers that are curious to know other rider's opinion on a certain part and that itself will make any check worth making. Go for it bro.
