in a lighthearted way, to be clear. They're positive, and transparent. I also like the "on the table" videos where you really get to see the profile. I'd totally ride with them if I went back to bachelor. I'd also love to ride with angry, but for a different reason, hah.I recently dug around to see if I could find more evidence of angry riding, but what I most frequently came across (again) is the cult-like following where his fans get defensive toward anyone asking to see him ride. Simply bringing it up can tend to get that type of reaction. And coming from him directly (often in youtube comments) he maintains that it doesn't matter if you get to see him ride - the review still stands. Purely from a channel/marketing perspective, maybe that's true. But realistically and in general, I don't agree with that. Especially for someone with an ego and large following, who is supposedly so knowledgeable and experienced, seeing somebody ride can say a lot. If they maintain it doesn't matter, it usually boils down to the fact that the person in question is simply good at churning out content to maintain a following, whether they can do the thing or not. There is a reason he frequently says the same things - verbatim - about boards (and yes, I understand there's only so much you can say when you have that many videos). I can't remember which video it was the other day, but it was almost like he was doing a parody of himself. It's a formula, which IMO was getting tired years ago.
I truly don't care whether someone is any good or not, but when the balance of ego vs actuality is so far off in this direction, it becomes lame. He constantly talks shit about others, yet most often they're modest, and better riders. And Lars in particular is the exact opposite of him.
