DO IT BEN! it looked good. also - i like the twisty microphone audio over the opening.. was trying to figure out what the sound was... knew it was familiar. AWESOME VLOG as always
You such an amazing human! No other youtuber has taken their time and actually gone round someone's house as it was their birthday! Honestly can't get over how inspiring you are!! :) x
+Mr Ben Brown Hey Ben! Not meaning to be a bother but you're a huge inspiration in life and you've helped me so much in style and substance when it comes to movie making! Now i have hundreds of views on my movies and they're growing everyday! I've recently made a professional short film about the struggle of addiction and how some people cope with it everyday! Please watch it it would mean the world to me for your opinion! Thanks so much Ben! You're the best!
+Mr Ben Brown That was a great one! I like to think I could give you a run for your money for the title of Casey's biggest fan. I've been watching him since I first saw "The Neistat Brothers" as a kid. Been watching you for a while and got so excited when I realized you two became friends.
+Saro Jesse on Bfvsgf is also using Casey's techniques. Casey is just such an inspiration....he's a flimmaker first and has amazing vlogs, so I understand why ppl find things to use from him. Ben is honest about it at least and I luv that about him!
Sometimes you remind me of Ewan Mcgregor, which is cool in itself, but especially now when you're on a bike. It makes me think you should do something along the lines of Long Way Round. Or Down.
The whole Casey thing on the vlog it seems to be a joke and he's done it once, there's no need to jump like that and start generalising. So please stop with those mean comments about copying cause it's annoying. If you've been watching their vlogs for a while you'll know that Ben's vibe is different from Casey's and you'll know that they're supporting each other's work and that they're really good friends.
Exactly! A small joke at the start of the vid has everyone getting into an argument about 'vlogging creative copyright' I know I'd much rather focus on the content of the vid - e.g how amazingly happy young Zac was getting time to spend with someone he looks up to, or what a great relationship their family shares or how absolutely gorgeous Alfie is- that's worth talking about - that's life 😊
Massive respect Ben for going to Zachs house! And I wish him the best for his future, keep on being an inspiration to everyone Ben! #benbrownforprimeministerorpresidentofsouthafrica
I love how you poke fun at the whole 'that's so casey neistat' thing, especially since you too are good friends! Can't wait to see you back in Cape Town with Nicole, Dan, SP and Jeremy - those are the best vlogs in my opinion :)
seeing Ben jump around struggling to put on his bike his gear, just further enhances my thought of there is no way Batman can exist in real the real world. By the time Bruce Wayne puts on the very tight batsuit, then gather his batgear, and then maneuver the batmobile through city traffic, the criminals would have been long gone.
Ugh I hate all the negative comments towards casey/ ben! everyone just chill out, it's really no big deal which style ben or casey use, and if they both use the same technique then who cares! it's not a trademark.
Shave. Crisp. Awesome. Ready for (unfortunately) cold and wet Cape Town? I hope people won't hate on the gorilla pod. Just gives the videos a different point of view. Like camera choice, music, food, it all comes down to personal choice. Whatever feels good and works, WORKS. Edit: Nice kicks.
I'm so excited to see you back again in a kayak! You've been a role model for me since I saw your first Kayak Vlogs on UA-cam! Thank you for your awesome Vlogs!
Tired of ppl comparing and saying one is copying the other...Casey & Ben are artist in their craft and it's not a big deal when artist are inspired by other artist, that's a part of the game! We all should be inspired by one another more
WARNING!! Ever since Casey started using Joby's in his Vlog they have become all the rage now. They were never meant or designed to be glorified selfie sticks. Get yourself a Camera Tether or make one. The mount will loosen. I have all the Joby models and have been using them for years with our shop cams for odd camera shots. The Ball X head mount always gets loose over time from handling them.
It's been about a year and a half since I started watching your vlogs, sometimes daily but tbh sometimes just weekly because of time problems, but I always knew that if I watch one of your vlogs I'll be happy that I did so! You're vlogs are always good, no matter if it's you filming a guy swimming in different waters in the world, surfing in a bay fuĺl of sharks or just a chilled day like this one at home. It always makes me feel welcome and even though I know you are no real friend, it kinda feels like that! You inspire me to travel the world and you showed me the Beautiful South Africa which I never thought would be so cool and now all I wanna do is go there and go on a roadtrip with some good friends! And last but not least you make me so excited for my upcoming exchange to England for two Weeks, England has always been my number one Place to go to and travel even if it is pretty similar to countries like germany (where I come from) on the firsz view, but I saw things I would never be able to find in Germany in your vlogs, even if some are pretty small things like the difference that you drive on the left side of the street and we on the right. Thank you for making every Single day of my life so much brighter and helping me see the good sides of life! Love Zoe from Germany :)
getting better all the time. nice family outing. on bikes. thanks for the BaronVonGrumble tip. & ah! those takeaways in GB, i miss them so much. take care. kayak today & Nicole in 3,2 days ! back home, luv to all your tribe
BEN. You mentioned in your previous video that you don't go on trains enough, and you want to do a European tour...so why don't you (and others) go Interraling for a month? That would make an awesome 22 days/30 days of vlogging!! I went earlier this year and it was awesome! Keep doing what you do, peace!
+Josh Abbey Security for other drivers who haven't given consent to show their details otherwise some dicks could use this as a gold mine for insurance fraud and stuff like that
This was a great blog Ben I hadn't subscribed until today but you really do have your own style and small details about how the vlog is shot isn't as important as who its about. People watch for you Ben and you seem like a great person especially today that part with the young kid.
Ben, I'm glad you did feature it as I'm interested to know what it is, it's not pocket sized but it is bag sized and gives a good view and definitely better than a selfie stick, so I'm curious to know more about it. I'm also still curious to know about the standing speaker you have in Capetown.
You and Casey inspire me so much. I went to school to be a filmmaker but unfortunately it turned out to be a "for profit" school and when I graduated I found out they have zero credability in the industry. I was disapointed so Ive been basically just doing whatever I can til another opportunity arises. I decided after whatching both of your videos that I need to get back to filming so Im starting a vlog. Just wanted to let you know how inspiring you guys are, kinda gave me hope again. Continue doing what your doing and have a great day!
OMG Casey Neistat didn't invent how to Vlog. He actually started after lot of daily vloggers. He just has a very original way to do it. Im a Casey's huge fan but STOP SAYING EVERYONE IS COPYING HIM.
I've got a moped and I will be doing my CBT in a couple of months, but I still need to buy a helmet and protective gear; where is a good place to get motorcycle clothing near Hersham?
As soon as you mentioned the European Championships I instantly thought back to you penny boarding down that hill a week before the championships from vlog 18!
+Mr Ben Brown 6:21 That my friend, is what they call a Supermoto. It´s basically a dirt bike (enduro) with road tires. They're so much fun! YOU MUST TRY IT hahaha
Am I the only one who thinks everything about Casey is overrated ?. he could walk with a shoe cut in half, and everyone would be like he's so badass nobody's ever done that before. People have been vlogging for years, and Casey just recently started, yet everyone's supposedly copying Casey ? If anyone even does a time lapse they are copying him as if he's the one who created that feature
He may be a bit overrated but you are prtly wrong or at least I don't think he just recently started since he has been uploading videos for 5 years to youtube and making videos since about 10 or something like that
+Truest blood But thats the thing. Hes quite recent to vlogging and by coincidence many other vloggers have changed their content & edit style that seems a bit familiar to his. Personally i dont care at all but the way Casey vlogs at times is amazing.
DO IT BEN! it looked good. also - i like the twisty microphone audio over the opening.. was trying to figure out what the sound was... knew it was familiar. AWESOME VLOG as always
+SamKQboro That is the truth of it! Ben, Casey, Louis and Dillon Stave are my go to youtubers!
+CaseyNeistat This has made my day!
It sounded really familiar just like the video with Karlie Kloss!
You such an amazing human! No other youtuber has taken their time and actually gone round someone's house as it was their birthday! Honestly can't get over how inspiring you are!! :) x
+Katt Jarvis AGREE 100%
I think ben might just be the biggest Casey Neistat fan
+supitscelina have been since the first film I watched of his; Mercedes one :)
+Mr Ben Brown Hey Ben! Not meaning to be a bother but you're a huge inspiration in life and you've helped me so much in style and substance when it comes to movie making! Now i have hundreds of views on my movies and they're growing everyday! I've recently made a professional short film about the struggle of addiction and how some people cope with it everyday!

+Mr Ben Brown haha amazing! love how you two are such close friends
That's So Casey sounds like a TV show :P
+Saro I wonder why...
+Saro because it sounds like 'That's so Raven' which is a tv show: www.imdb.com/title/tt0300865/
+ProOr Zaub you ruined it
goddammit, i really thought I did something good in my life for once :(
+Saro Jesse on Bfvsgf is also using Casey's techniques. Casey is just such an inspiration....he's a flimmaker first and has amazing vlogs, so I understand why ppl find things to use from him. Ben is honest about it at least and I luv that about him!

That's very true
Yasss
Ben has a very magnetic presence about him, and his voice is very soothing too. I hope to God he doesn't ruin himself by becoming an actor. 😉
+Linda Kordich you love Beeeeeeen :p haha
See Ben!? I've been saying this for months, Ben's Like Ewan's lil brother or cousin...
The whole Casey thing on the vlog it seems to be a joke and he's done it once, there's no need to jump like that and start generalising. So please stop with those mean comments about copying cause it's annoying.

Thank you! Clapping right now!
+Diana M well said

Well geez, Samantha's pretty great.
+Dave H is she a youtuber too ?
+Lovász Botond yes. Her links in the info
that little guy is so cute, he was so amazed and shy, it just shows how much people love youtubers
Massive respect Ben for going to Zachs house! And I wish him the best for his future, keep on being an inspiration to everyone Ben! #benbrownforprimeministerorpresidentofsouthafrica

+Robert Nash truth right there
happy you read that. hope give gave you a chuckle
Just bought a Micro Muff for my Canon S120 "thats so Ben Brown"!
+Willem Verbeeck Or is it so +FunForLouis? Ha just kidding, hard to keep up who who said what first. Hows the Muff? (weird question!)
Really nice! It didn't fit the s120 perfectly so i had to trim it a bit but i got it to work! :D
the ending with Alfie showing you that he can fit it all in his mouth was great!
Ugh I hate all the negative comments towards casey/ ben! everyone just chill out, it's really no big deal which style ben or casey use, and if they both use the same technique then who cares! it's not a trademark.
I am aware of that haha :)
SOOOOO many vloggers are jocking Casey's filming/editing style...
I can't stand this when I see this.
+TheRoot Message Me too, everyone is trying to copy him, it's getting really boring now
it's just the arm lol.
But Ben isn't really, and he acknowledges it unlike a lot of them.
BFVSGF is copying Casey Neistat not Ben. Also Ben is giving Casey credits not like BFVSGF
But Ben and Casey are really good friends so it's not that big of a deal
It's cool Ben. You acknowledge Casey. some others don't. People draw different lines to what is copying and what isn't.
Seeing Zack's reaction was the most lovely thing, such a nice thing you did!
Clean shave #forthewin
+PUEBLO VISTA nooo :((
+PUEBLO VISTA he looks better with the short blone beard he has ... that is his ,,mark'' !
+Lovász Botond I know. It was a joke!
You're just a good human Ben, lets hope one day all of us can just live in harmony and be vibey as f**k together.
Ben! I just started watching your vlogs and I gotta say, they rock. You got a new subscriber!
Thank you! Welcome :)
+SimpleCove ISNT HE AMAZING
You Casey and Roman in Cape Town! Make it happen!
Zack's face hahaha, aw he's a lucky kid!
Casey and Ben have some of the best vlogs on UA-cam!! I love to watch them!!
Hopefully I can have videos as great as them one day!!
yOU NEED THAT ON A TSHIRT NOW..
Watching Ben's vlog is the favorite part of my day! YOU DA BEST, BEN!
Shave. Crisp. Awesome. Ready for (unfortunately) cold and wet Cape Town? I hope people won't hate on the gorilla pod. Just gives the videos a different point of view. Like camera choice, music, food, it all comes down to personal choice. Whatever feels good and works, WORKS.
Edit: Nice kicks.
I'm so excited to see you back again in a kayak! You've been a role model for me since I saw your first Kayak Vlogs on UA-cam! Thank you for your awesome Vlogs!
Tired of ppl comparing and saying one is copying the other...Casey & Ben are artist in their craft and it's not a big deal when artist are inspired by other artist, that's a part of the game! We all should be inspired by one another more

The Ball X head mount always gets loose over time from handling them.
I think everyone should realise that we all have a little bit of a disire to be casey , he's just a god...
Welled up watching you with zach, so so nice of you to do that!!

8:05 THAT'S WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't be the only one who does Ben's intro and outro with him, complete with click ;)
the house looks so comfortable :*,love the glass rooftop!
I'm a new subscriber and your dog is simply the cutest, especially squeaking that toy, haha! :)
That KTM normaly meant to be an Enduro, its tyres got changed to
Supermoto. I think it's around 400-500cc, 4 stroke!
getting better all the time. nice family outing. on bikes. thanks for the BaronVonGrumble tip. & ah! those takeaways in GB, i miss them so much. take care. kayak today & Nicole in 3,2 days ! back home, luv to all your tribe

Hahahaha "that's so Casey!"
Mama Brown knows whats up in the vlogger world :)
I can't wait for the vlog with the little kayakers !!!!
Small tip for when you get into the moto vlogs full time. Pixelate number plates.
Why ?
+Josh Abbey Security for other drivers who haven't given consent to show their details otherwise some dicks could use this as a gold mine for insurance fraud and stuff like that
Thanks
Josh Abbey Insurance fraud as well as vehicle cloning.
This was a great blog Ben I hadn't subscribed until today but you really do have your own style and small details about how the vlog is shot isn't as important as who its about. People watch for you Ben and you seem like a great person especially today that part with the young kid.
Watching all these motorcycle rides make me miss my bike so much!!
Ben do you know when your shop will get re-stocked? I would like to place an order! :-)
Ben, I'm glad you did feature it as I'm interested to know what it is, it's not pocket sized but it is bag sized and gives a good view and definitely better than a selfie stick, so I'm curious to know more about it. I'm also still curious to know about the standing speaker you have in Capetown.
And Yes Ben....inspiring these young kids can literally transform their lives!!!!
Ben will you ever be selling any of your Instagram posts? Like in an A3 format. Would love to buy one!
My guess is that the supermotard you saw is either a KTM 525 exc or a 450 exc. Also your sister is wonderful!
That Zac fellow is going to grow into a fine young man, that's plain to see. Glad you have taken the time to spread some of your good karma on him.
Haven't been watching your vlogs for a long time
Remebered how good you are today, keep up the good work :D
You and Casey inspire me so much. I went to school to be a filmmaker but unfortunately it turned out to be a "for profit" school and when I graduated I found out they have zero credability in the industry.

WOW you're really inspiring thumbs up for Zack an Ben
Alfies little ploppy sit down when he had to stop barking during caseys video 😂
so nice of you to do that for that kid, did he start kayaking because of you?
yes :)
Ben what you did for young Zack is the reason I keep coming back to watch your videos.
I guess Alfie can pick up all that stuff in one go after all lol. awesome vlog!
Found you via Casey and so pleased to have done so. You're an EXCELLENT role model Ben, keep up the great vlogs
How do you put the camera on your helmet is it the GOPRO
LOVE YOUR VIDOES
So sweet what you did for Zach! You are definitely a good role model
Can't see any comments about how awesome it was of Ben to visit that kid! Props, I would have subscribed for that if I wasn't already.
Netflix, Curry and Chill?
+Instantly Viral Dude, thats his sister >.>
=bendybow I know (im into that stuff) XD
+Instantly Viral incest? Oh boy... Maybe you should get a doctor sir!
Instantly Viral o_o
hmm *runs of suspiciously*
You should totally go to High Beach in Epping Forest, it's where all motorcyclists go to show off their bikes! x
dude i hope to see a kayaking trip in the future!!!! been busy the last week planning my european Kayaking/Mountain biking trip for 2016!!!
Great timing for the new video! Keep up the solid vlogs Ben!
Wonderful watching a brother and sister together. I do miss my big brother - gee it's been 4 years now. Go Alfie! LOL
Just wanted to day your the best vlogger out there and have watched 450+ of your vlogs
When your mom knows Casey neistat setup you know shes cool
Ben and Sams personalities are so alike! I love it
That's was really cool of you to meet Zach! Really enjoy watching your videos Ben!
Love the notifications for these videos! Great video man! Can't wait till your back with Nicole!
OMG Casey Neistat didn't invent how to Vlog. He actually started after lot of daily vloggers. He just has a very original way to do it. Im a Casey's huge fan but STOP SAYING EVERYONE IS COPYING HIM.
Ben, you gotta take an Insta pic of the lighted ball spinny thing with a long exposure.
thats awesome he totally made that kids day must be an amazing feeling
Ben...Alfie has always stolen your socks, ever since he was a wee fluffy puppy of a dog! Last clip was golden!
Your videos are so good your photography is great you inspire my photography
Dont lose your gopro when you go kayaking, I remember you were good at doing that ;)!
Moms always have great advice :)
Loved the after end slate. He fit it all in and around his mouth.
your sister is just gorgeus, brown family got some good genes lol
Little did he know, he'd be on a russian ship cruising around the Arctic one year later :)
You have the cutest, sweetest personality :)
It could not be more English. I felt like I was at my friend's, he has the same puppy, well done Mr Ben. Nice Vlog.
i prefer just normal camera. not sure why but i think its better
I really liked your video blog, is pretty funny, serious, honest and good person .... greetings from Venezuela!!
Respect Ben! Zack looks like such a cool kid.
ALL THE FEELS THAT CUTE LITTLE KID AAAAGGGGHHHH
You requested it so we rewind (zipppp) 😂😂
That first family minute made me smile (:
+Tomek dude, good on you for being aware of the power you've got, hope you inspire more kids
I've got a moped and I will be doing my CBT in a couple of months, but I still need to buy a helmet and protective gear; where is a good place to get motorcycle clothing near Hersham?
When are you restocking your store ben? Great vid as usual btw!
As soon as you mentioned the European Championships I instantly thought back to you penny boarding down that hill a week before the championships from vlog 18!
+Mr Ben Brown 6:21 That my friend, is what they call a Supermoto. It´s basically a dirt bike (enduro) with road tires. They're so much fun! YOU MUST TRY IT hahaha

yessss!!! omg
He may be a bit overrated but you are prtly wrong or at least I don't think he just recently started since he has been uploading videos for 5 years to youtube and making videos since about 10 or something like that
+ToniLivo he only started vlogging this year so they are right. It he has been making short films for years
+Truest blood But thats the thing. Hes quite recent to vlogging and by coincidence many other vloggers have changed their content & edit style that seems a bit familiar to his. Personally i dont care at all but the way Casey vlogs at times is amazing.
*I actually just got a GorillaPod and I really enjoy it! Awesome vlog as always! Also Casey is such a great Vlogger!*
Now knowing you didn't get your GCSE maths. Makes me feel more inspired by you as you have become successful and inspirational without GCSE maths.
I have that same tripod. Love it. No it won't fit in your pocket but it's great to have in a backpack.
Great vlog Ben. Does your mum ever get worried when you ride your motorcycle?
Now Casey needs to make a "That's so Mr Ben Brown" video ☺️
