Because YouTube’s aren’t doing it for the sport anymore.. all they care about is, how to raise as much profit as possible
Then please explain how showing off with your Lambo & GT3 has anything to do with riding bikes
But I also see your point and don’t want to start a discussion here
I am completely with you on this
All I wanted to say is that it seems Paul and Matt had a different motivation behind this project. Paul let’s his riding speak for himself and just drops this completely crazy edit out of nowhere. Pretty sure this dude just focuses on riding and pushing the boundaries on what’s possible with two wheels. Whereby in my opinion Matt has a completely different drive.
But enough shit chat now haha
Matt’s more outgoing and marketable = more successful.
Some daft things being said here.
Matt Jones has made like 1 video on his lambo and never really shows his GT3 in any of his videos.
Ever occurred to yous that he might enjoy making youtube videos? I look forward to each video and get more pleasure from a 15 min video every few days than a 3 minute video every few months.
Fair play to Paul though the stuff in this video is mental, but Matt is obviously also all about biking, he just puts it across in a different way and makes the most of his situation.
You are a bunch of pansies, but you slam folks who actually do what you never will.
If this ain’t jealousy, what is?
Cool video, gives folks an idea of what hard work really means in athletics.
Okay, now go back your keyboard before it gets cold, don’t t wanna go getting a sprain in one of your fingers.
Should have been called "My war... against Matt Jones' gainer"
Mind blown! Seems like quarantine and no Contests does have its perks for Video production.
This edit is banging but (outside of the constant product placement) I also really enjoyed the deeper look into the process, highs, lows, frustration, elation in Matts mini series. Glad to have so much quality content, the winner is us!

Silly question : Do you think he's clipless (flats) on first clip ?
The depressing "lying awake at night" and "being distant from friends and feeling alone" vibe in this video (and any other displays he has put on after crashing out at Crankworx and such) are cringe at best. It seems attention-seeking, and the whole "victim" or whatever vibe he's trying to go after just detracts from the fact that he is one of the most creative and underrated riders in the world. This whole video makes me feel like Paul doesn't love, or even like what he does, and he seems to be contemplating his life choices A LOT in this video. At least, that's how it comes across... which is a shame.
