Is blogging still a thing?

So there I was, drinking beer and looking at the internet. What ever happened to my blog..... I don't think people even realize that I race mountain bikes for a living. I think people know me as that guy who posts weekly POV videos on YouTube about riding on the edge of some scary cliff in the desert. I am a Vlogger now, do I really need a blog? Well, after a two-year hiatus, I just turned it back on because it made me smile. Let me know what you guys think. Times were simpler then. More projects, more problems. Wouldn't trade it for anything. ​

Season 5

Welcome to #followcamfriday Season 5
I almost quit. Almost. Guess I just needed a week off. Last friday was the first Friday that I have missed in 3.5 years. That is some Casey Neistat shit right there. Keeping the streak alive. But yes, I needed a day off. The internet is still here, as it turns out. The algorithms are pissed off, but fuck the algorithms. Bikes.

From the start, FollowCamFriday has been all about motivating people to get outside and ride their bicycles. In this age of digital narcissism, the more time we spend on our bikes, and less time we spend with our phones, the better. I realize the irony in this statement, as you read these words on your iPhone. But please, set that thing down for a minute and go outside! Take a walk, go fishing, whatever!

I almost quit. If I am being honest, this is the hardest and most time consuming job I have ever had. I am certainly not complaining, I get to ride my bike more than I want to, in sweet locations with some of my best and dearest friends. I am very fortunate and privileged and never take this for granted. But sometimes, I just need a day off. Sometimes you just need to take a step back to really appreciate what you have.

So why do I keep making episodes. Well, I guess I feel the need to motivate people to live this healthy lifestyle. When people send me messages and tell me that they started riding again after an injury, or bought their first bike because of my videos, I am successful in my goal. If I can motivate a few more people to get out there and enjoy the outdoors with friends, then I will die a happy man. Nothing more.

I want to extend a genuine "thank you" for everyone that has supported me over the last 4 seasons. Fans, sponsors, friends. Without being surrounded by excellent people, I would be in the ditch. Hell, I'm almost in the ditch, even with all the support. Love my friends. Thanks for being part of the ride. Here's to another season of shenanigans. 

​Cheers!
