I have to say @Mike Sacristan I've always found you slightly irritating since I called you out on YT for not wearing a helmet and you snapped back at me to mind my own business. But I held back from commenting further as you clearly had no desire to change your ways or even acknowledge your role as an ambassador of the sport.

But I won't stand by and say nothing about your misogyny. The childish sniggering about it being a 'moist' Saturday was one thing, but the final comment on your first video - "right in the vagina" - is just vile. Seriously, that sort of shit is unacceptable and is part of the reason the sport is still primarily one for 'bros'.

Saying "the world is full of all types" to excuse shitty behaviour is a cop-out. If you have no desire to make this community more inviting to 50% of the population, that's up to you. But I seriously doubt you speak for the majority, as you claim. That you admit you are irritating to damn near everyone suggests the opposite is closer to the truth.
The IG video I watched is not 30 mins. More like 2.

What I don't understand is why you are so active on this forum when you have such obvious disdain for nurturing a healthy community?

Yes, it is my opinion that him saying "right in the vagina" is offensive to women and is the sort of attitude that keeps more from growing the sport. You can dismiss me as just another PC, bleeding heart, censorship-obsessed type but, like you, I don't give a shit. When I hear that stuff, I'll call it out. Not for you, because you are clearly not going to change, but for others who may be watching/reading and wondering if it's just them that get a little uncomfortable hearing such stuff. If more men called out other men's misogyny rather than dismissing it as just a little 'locker-room talk', the world would be a better place for all of us. It shouldn't matter whether it's a locker room, a board-room, behind closed doors or out in the open. The more it gets called out, the less we will hear it. Too bad if it makes things a bit uncomfortable.

For the record, I used to find humour in that sort of stuff too. Then I stopped being a teenager.

I could write so much about it, but if I told every boring, annoying guy or fanboy my opinion, there would be no time left for important things.

You should check out the instructional kizomba vid:

Or one of the synchronous lady style videos

to look for the elements of the kizomba dance in the kizomba/country video.😏👯

Agree.

My advice... let it go. I’ve never seen you have any contempt for women in your videos. 

Thank you.  I am working on it. It seems to be a life long project so far.

I hate it when that happens. I remove it from my watch history and also from suggestions. YouTube usually guesses right though and in my case it's:

EUC videos, deep house music, funny clips, Tekken matches... and I guess that's it! Although I did watch a video about dandruff the other day and then all hell was unleashed. Murica!

Just got home from a cruise with some friends. On the way home I bought my wife some candy (hand picked vegan), mango sorbet (vegan), a vegan pastry and some vegan chocolate. Glad to see this forum wasn't a hell hole. I was a bit worried to be honest...

Yeah, we are pretty much the same, but these wacky EUC riders just keep ordering those shitty power pads and rob me of my free time where I normally would have had time to bitch about such people. 

But maybe I'm slowly reaching an age where I don't give a shit about guys like that. Whether this is really the case, we will see when I get bored again.

Yes. indeed, agreed... ... & therefore perhaps like some of mine, many of ShanesPlanet comments should therefore,  ALSO be relegated.

Fairs fair. Notice I challenged and I got rebuttal, but he got a free pass prior?   hmm  I will not be cowed.  Lets bring this on.. in a forum aside of his choosing. If he declines, he just got away with crap I could not here. we Meanwhile.. epic ride today on the fabulous MSP.. :-)

By all means, if you feel you must personally attack me, you have that ability. I don't have any inclination to continue ruin this thread. I already have been baited and reacted in a way that was probably not worth my time. Discrediting me BEFORE I even respond, pretty much sums up why this is a waste of my time. If youll look back, I doubt I have personally attacked you. I still think its not my place nor yours to decide what quality of video deserves be here and which does not. I know nothing about you aside from you seem to think that 'judgement' of another is something you are entitled to share. Please by all means, up your video game as you mentioned and waste your time 'judging' and focusing on one single man across the globe.  I'd imagine most people here are already sick of my opinion of it all and would much rather go back to watching videos. If I am asked by a moderator to delete my content because they feel its in error, I will be more than happy to do so. I do think Meep is trying to be civil and is already reminding us that this is not the intent of the video thread.  So by all means, make a new thread and commence to 'handing me my ass'. If nothing else, it may be a fun read. Perhaps we shoudlnt forget who opened this can of worms by judging video quality and calling out EVERYONE to do better. Typically I respond to things, not start them.

I dont care how awful your video is i hope you all still post here. This is a wonderful place to share experiences and grow the EUC community. Dont let the vocal minority scare you off, you cant improve if you dont keep posting. 

They say the average 1000 subscriber YouTube account has 152 videos. Thats 1 video a week for almost 3 years! 

Whether your doing reviews or vlogs or trail rides or whatever, Keep at it everyone! The more content we produce the larger the community will grow!

I would also like to add.
Right in the vagina is geared towards men and is a play on words.

Society always expects men to do the more extreme stuff, the jumps, the danger, the falling, etc. If we do not we are deemed less manly. Often with slurs like being called a pussy or not having any balls. It is interesting how you found misogyny in this.

Moist was taken from How I met Your Mother so I can't take credit for that. You instantly connecting it to women you can take credit for.

And yes... you may have stopped being a teenager. The real question though is... what did you become?

Your argument essentially boils down to:

1. You are nice to women so your comment couldn't possibly be misogynistic.

2. Your comment was a play on words

3. Society places pressure on men to be more manly and extreme and comments like yours somehow liberate men from this trap.

Your first argument falls flat for the reason that you can be both. For the record, I don't think you're a raging woman-hater (based on our limited interactions). I do think you might occasionally use language that perpetuates unhealthy attitudes to women. I have certainly done so in my life (as I earlier admitted) but have worked hard to get better at this and accepted responsibility when I've been called out on this.

Your second argument - that "Right in the vagina" is a play on words - doesn't make sense to me. What word is being played with? If you think this is a pun, I suggest you look up the meaning of the word.

Your third argument is the least convincing and really quite confusing. You admit that your comment was aimed more towards men. That's kind of my point. You made that comment with male audiences in mind but gave little thought to how women might hear it. I mentioned this whole thing to my wife and when I told her your comment at the end of your video, she recoiled. Can I suggest you ask your partner/female friends for their thoughts on your comment? I'm also not sure how a comment like that, aimed towards men who are trapped in this world of masculine expectations, is meant to help the situation. I'm genuinely confused and would appreciate your further insights.

To me, "Right in the vagina" has obvious overtones of sexualised violence towards women. My interpretation is that you had just completed a day of tricks and jumps and felt like you had nailed it. Smashed it. Where? Right in the vagina. It was an assertion of your cigarette-smoking, too-tough-to-wear-a-helmet, dabbing manliness.

I really didn't set out to start a war on a forum that I otherwise enjoy, but there is clearly a sexism problem here (have a look at past threads on this issue as well as the recent controversy over the Begode picture of a large-breasted model astride an EUC and the response to it). I also note the response of other posters, replying with no sense of irony for me not to get my "panties in a twist". And saying that "humour is humour", a tautological phrase akin to the old chestnut: "boys will be boys!".

I stopped suggesting you wear a helmet when it became apparent that there is not much there worth protecting.

Iam a kind human.. and there's something about you,  video or not that makes me step up to your precociousness and I will always do it regardless of video content coming or not.

Meep is very civil, in fact most people are civil... and that should be a message to you.

Yes, I did post displeasure at lazy video content.. but actually it was said for the good of the forum... now newbies will edit better for content . They should NOT feel inhibited to present content, this isnt a children's forum... we fail we hurt in this hobby. We need truth not lies here. We need humanity and warmth, not bluster and precociousness, for you are one trip short of a faceplant and humility is required.  That is EXACTLY the reason why I asked for folk to step up the video content.

TOO MANY VIDEOS PROJECTING A VISION OF WHAT THEY WANT, NOT THE TRUTH OF WHO THEY ARE, NOT THE JOURNEY OF FAILURE THAT IS ALL OUR EXPERIENCES,, WORSE... A VIDEO OF BANALITY WITHOUT MUCH OF THEM OR SUBJECT MATTER WITHIN IT. !  Let people up vote your commentary. I don't care,  because it isn't REAL. Newcomers will still fall hard and people will need to be cared for.

A video of silence, that has a history of BLUSTER  that says nothing about this truth,  IS A F*  LIE!

100% agree. Personally i would pm advice to people about their videos or comment on them instead of putting people on blast.  Blasting people for not putting in as much effort to their videos as Kuji and EVX is a bit extreme. Help them, dont shame them

Thank you George. I am humbled also by your commentary, I think I have a personal lesson to learn from this. I will try to be a less confrontational, and maybe private messaging would have been better in some of my exchanges.   Very humbling to be honest. I Wil definitely consider this going forward.

Oh are we playing 'Guess the Inner Workings of Mike's Mind"?

Okay, how about:

- You were turned on after a day of hard riding and you were thinking about where you would like to have sex.

- Someone off-camera was asking you a question relating to gynecology.

- You were afraid of a cut-out and your words were merely an expression of your desire to retreat to the safety of the maternal womb.

It might be easier if you just enlightened us all.

Dude... guy puts out BEST video content. STFU please.

[RayBanMonster]

Moderators...

I think we need better definition of what exactly video thread is meant to be about, because clearly "dissent and nonsense, even if mine" is rising and being equally challenged.

 Lets redefine what this thread is about maybe?  So that we are primed before posting?

How is that relevant? Do content creators get to say/do whatever they like just because you find their videos entertaining? Or does the fact that they put themselves out there mean they are equally open to criticism as well as fanboy praise? As others have said before, he is a big boy and can defend himself.

Thanks for playing.

I will try to keep it short so that we can end this.

Timestamp embedded in URL or 35:10 into the clip.
So here is the answer:

I did not feel that I nailed that last jump. I was very nervous as I couldn't see the other side. I had already stress tested my soul enough and I was pretty much out of courage. Doing those things alone as an anxious person who overthinks things is a nightmare. I forced myself to do the last jump... uncomfortable as it was. I could not see the other side where I would land from the point where I would be jumping. 

I felt it in the part of my being that does not perform as a man is expected to do. In that way my comment is stereotyping men and women.

I felt it in my vagina. In my feminine side (which is my dominant side). In the side of me that is afraid of taking risks.
Right in the feels. Right in the vagina.

If you would like to learn more about the principle of charity there is a nice write up here:
https://effectiviology.com/principle-of-charity/

If you are unable to there is another good article here:
https://sharischreiber.com/do-you-love-to-be-needed/
Although that one is quite complex and can take a few days to get through and properly understand.
Then you can go back to the principle of charity.

Your interpretation is very coloured by your own values and those values seem a bit extreme if you are imposing them on everything you see.
They become a coloured lens.
Finding sexism where there is none.
Like people who find racism where there is none.
Looking for confirmation in your partner for a word you heard in a vacuum.

If you would like to continue to discuss sexism or charitable interpretations I am sure you can start your own thread and link to my clip or clips.
Perhaps you can start a poll.

You interpreted my words in a certain way. You put the burden on me to explain your interpretation.
That is quite a lot of work you are expecting others to do for you.
It is not too late for you to take responsibility for yourself.

That was me keeping it short.

It's for posting videos

"If you have an interesting video of you riding, or whatever, post it here." (First line of the first post)

So everyone who made a EUC-related video is welcome to post it here

People who want to see EUC videos can browse this thread and find something to watch. Ideally, with not too many distractions and not too many lengthy discussions in this very thread. But everyone is happy about a nice or constructive comment.

-

In a perfect world, every video posted on this forum would be posted into this thread, so it is an index of sorts of all available videos for people to browse. The idea of having an entire video forum is: people are encouraged to start their own topic about their (or someone else's) video as well. So longer discussion can happen there and not clog up this thread (just put a link in here), and so finding a specific video is easier, etc.

We also have some nice aggregate threads (No Comment, Trail Riding, ...) and everyone is free to start a themed collection of their own.

This thread is just for pretty much any EUC video that someone might enjoy watching (or enjoy posting).
