One of your subscribers commented on my channel telling me I should check out yours. I’m looking forward to seeing your content this year 👍
Thanks Country Boy for dropping by. I have lots of ride vids already to have a look at, and I will continue to create more of those. But starting this Friday I will be publishing some content that will be different in theme and style from previously.
I hope to see you there, please let me know what you think.
Thank you Robert for all that you've done and all that you will do. You don't know it but your channel helped me escape what was a confusing (bad) and difficult time in my life. I was able to imagine myself on the rides with you.
When you are ready to continue ,I for one , will be here watching. No rush, no pressure, just when you are ready. I'm also kind of excited to see what you come up with, moving forward. Very photogenic shoulder too. Take care my friend.
That is such a super comment, and they do the same, or more, for me, then what my channel has done for you. I am starting with new content this coming Friday, not motorcycle rides for the first few vids, but I do have a few lined up later in the season. I hope you enjoy this other stuff as well, please let me know.
And thanks for taking the time for the great comment.
An honor to be featured in this! Thanks so much for the kind words Robert, very excited to see more from you as well!
Thanks Jesse. I hope you will find my new vids as enjoyable as I find yours.
Well done, Rob. Best of luck with the new season.
Looking forward to your future content in 2023 !
I like the idea of your direction and really looking forward to see what you produce ! So cool to be able to work on a movie set !!! WOW
Thanks for the shout-out ! ... and your suggestions !
Still so much i want to learn along this UA-cam journey
take Care !
Cheers
Well, as I mentioned, your vids have helped me with ideas for different subject material and how to present it.
The movie set was a good reminder of things I had known and forgotten. It also was a lot of fun.
Learning both technical and creative skills is a great way to keep our minds sharp and as we get older......, I forgot where I was going with this! Anyway keep making videos on UA-cam!
@@RobertMerz - Cheers !
Love your site. I am in 6th year of ALS but before that my wife and I rode many of the roads you have. We rode 1984 Goldwing, 2012 Victory Vision…our favorite, and a couple rented HD. Love the rural west. Thanks again
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Yes!!! Robert, this is awesome news! I have mentioned to you before, you’re on my Mt Rushmore of content creators. Your work has been nothing shy of outstanding, always showing riders what’s out there, giving us trails and destinations to consider on our future trips, places to stay. I just know whatever content you create, it will be top notch, brother. Your content encourages the community. I’m sure many live vicariously thru your adventures, with hopes of themselves riding one day. You’re very good out in front of the camera too! 2023 is looking very bright for you, and I can’t wait to see the exceptional footage you share with us. You made my day, buddy! Hope you’re doing well!
That is a lot to take in. Thank you very much. I always look forward to your comments, and I am looking forward to your thoughts on my upcoming vids as they come out.
@@RobertMerz I’ll have a large bowl of popcorn just waiting to throw it up on the flat screen! Always enjoy all your content, and point potential subscribers your way often. You really lead our community exceptionally well.
I really enjoy the way you do your videos. Drone footage always adds another perspective of the same action. I would like to see some of the subscriber's motorcycle's; maybe throw in a short segment each video showing them; just a thought. Your the Man. Ride On.
Thanks Richard! I hope you like my new vids as well, they will be mostly a different style but still travel/adventure kind of stuff and still high production values. Not sure I would know how to gather images of subs rides, but I will think about it.
@@RobertMerz I think all they have to do is take a picture and E-Mail it to you; and then you just down load it.
Wow you’re hitting all the legends! I met Craig and Lucinda in person and they an amazing couple. I love his story telling approach.
They really do well on camera, always fun and upbeat. I also like the background history that he often includes in his vids. And their vids just keep getting better from the editing side too!
Adoro seus passeios, suas viagens, as paisagens e as localidades visitadas. Sao fantásticas! Sou fanático pelo velho oeste! Receba as bençãos de Deus! Abraços de Montes Claros/Mg/Brasil.
Oi Wilson. Obrigado, obrigado. Pelo seu comentário, acho que você vai gostar ainda mais do meu novo conteúdo. Será uma visão mais detalhada de partes menores de minhas aventuras, bem aqui no oeste. Alguns dos vídeos são filmados aqui mesmo em nossa fazenda. Em particular, acho que você vai gostar da minha pequena visita a uma velha cidade fantasma em um dos meus episódios. Estou ansioso para ver seus comentários sobre os vários vídeos para ver o que você pensa.
Great work as always Robert. For everyone who takes 10 hours to edit a few minutes of final video!!!!! And to being typecast, I'm reminded of a song when I was young..."All you have to do is.........act naturally :) Love your content.
Thanks so much 2v2w! I do put in a ton of time to edit my vids, it is probably a testament to my lack of skill! But seriously I want to create something that is the best I can do, something that people will enjoy, and something I can be proud of. That is why I really appreciate comments, especially from fellow creators, that recognize the effort I have put in.
As to acting naturally I think that is how I got typecast! But seriously I have been told that my resting face can very easily be perceived as the face of an angry man, however while on camera I had to suppress a smile a couple times because it was fun to be there and see what was going on.
Thanks so much for watching, and leaving a comment!
Always enjoy your antique cars n equipment videos. Have you been asked to use your collection in movies? “ Angry White Guy” lol thats an easy roll to stay in character. Seeing how soft spoken your father was i cant imagine your type cast. Thanks for the adventures you create.
Spoiler alert, my first new vid of the season will be this Friday and I am thinking you will enjoy it. I never have been asked to use my collection in movies, aside from on UA-cam I don't really advertise what I have.
The storyline of the movie was about Indian immigrants coming to BC looking for a better life and the obstacles they encountered, including the push back from the people already here that felt threatened. A storyline that is quite accurate to BC. It is also a storyline that has been reenacted all over the world and throughout history. It was a very good story. I was one of the threatened people already here. The movie had a worldwide release and at the end of the show that I saw the audience, which was entirely Indian, stood up and clapped. I have never seen this in a theatre before. I may not be typecast yet, however I would be quite willing to play an angry white guy again for Chhalla 2 if they need me!
Great plans buddy !! Keep plugging away ! Cheers, Eddie
Thanks Eddie. I appreciate the encouragement, as well as the comments!
Hey Robert! Your videos are great already, I'm looking forward to seeing your new "direction".
Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy the new stuff, it will be more of a mix of subjects and a different editing style, but it will be good. Let me know what you think as the season progress.
It is fun to watch the people that make a living doing it - do their stuff.
I have been part of 3 music videos and 1 short film within the last year... as background actor, and many other things including where I was once called a production assistant, and consultant (short film won best costumes from what I did). Just today I got to be a part of a production meeting before shooting some scenes of a music video, they liked my thoughts, and I became a background actor at the last minute when scenes changed on the fly. I am willing to do anything they need of me, and 2 small local studios are happy with me for that reason.
But watching how they record scenes and come up with a plan - really wants me to take my videos up a notch on cinematography. Using some of their commentary - I think I can.
Barkerville would have been a hoot, I haven't been there in years.
Goes back to the learning thing you were talking about. Whether it is taking courses or learning by doing (and these days with help from Google) we should never stop learning. Being on the set reminded me of some things that I had once known and since forgotten, as well as giving me some ideas I wanted to adapt to my own needs and abilities and try.
Barkerville seems to be undergoing some changes, politically, and therefore economically driven.. The narrative is being changed to suit our present times. The buildings at least stay the same.
I am humbled my friend. You helped me when I was hanging on day by day. I struggled to see the sense in continuing to fight for my mobility. Then I'd sit down and watch one of your videos, doing what I so desperately wanted to do again, and go to all those same places, and I'd have the impetus to fight another day.
And now as I struggle to see the sense in continuing with UA-cam, you have, again, given me a reason to continue. I'm so thankful for your words and your continued support.
I'm anxious to see what you have in store for us. If this video is any indication, it's going to be really good. I'm excited for the new content!
All the best my friend and thanks again for all you do for so many.
Just such a great comment, now go stand in front of a mirror and read your comment, except for the mobility part, to yourself. That's my reply.
We help each other.
Old Brownie !
Yes it is. My Dad's, on our early adventures I would use it once in awhile before I got mt own camera.
Great !! see you soon for new videos
Thanks for your continued support Marco!
Very good news and I'm looking forward for this coming season, always interesting to see improvements to your already great content.
Hey Marc. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment and for your ongoing support. I am not sure if it will be new and improved, but it will be different. I still want to do the sit back, relax, enjoy the ride vids, and I know there are a lot of people that look for those vids from me, but I would like to appeal to a bigger audience plus I do have so much more that I want to share! Let me know as the vids come out what you think!
I'd like to see all that, even the old bottles that were dug, I've done some of that also. Keep up the good work, Robert. You're doing a great job with all you do.
Thanks so much Wade.
Hope you'll be coming back to the Okanagan and stopping in to see us again. Best wishes!
That would be awesome! Maybe, mostly it is a time thing.
Just Subbed ya ! DaBa told me about you 👍🖖😎
Well thank you very much, I will try not to disappoint. De Ba does that once in awhile.
@@RobertMerz once in a while🤣🤣🤣
I like the simple ride along video. Tx
I have a few of those coming as well this season so stay tuned. Your comment is so important to me, it lets me know that those sit back, relax, enjoy the ride vids are being watched and enjoyed. I hope you will have a look at my new vids as well and give me an honest assessment of them. On some, where it is possible, I have incorporated a small bit of ride into the vid.
Itchy Boots has interesting content!
I will have to look him up. Thank you.
Rich is an awesome guy 🎉
Rich is! Our conversations have given me a new perspective on videos and commenting and I think it did the same for him. I am glad to see he is back at making vids again..
Whew, that was a tough one to hang on for, but I held tight (80% view time is the most important factor) and glad I did the last part is the best! I've had a channel for years, initially just to share family videos, but everything has changed. Have recently gotten back into sharing with shorts and doing research on channel pushing algorithms. Good footage and great stories, but I think this video is slow to keep a viewer. Maybe more edit changes and starting with your story, then giving kudos to other channels?
At 80% you did very well!
You are right, it is way too slow a pace, especially with my speaking. I probably did this video more for myself. I enjoy working through all the technical and there is a lot in this vid. Starting with the background which is all created post, I am actually just sitting in front of a green screen. I also did it for my hardcore fans that would sit through it to see what my plans were. Glad you liked the last part, being involved in a big production was a lot of fun, as well as educational!
As I mentioned in this video, and as you probably know as a creator, comments are really appreciated, thank you so much!
@@RobertMerz Yeah, I've always just been uploading for friends, but now realize this is global and anyone can see. So I'm trying to make video that are more viewable. It takes so much time to create. Theory is 1 hour for 1 minute, but its more like 2 for me. 🤔
I figure 1 to 2 hours personally, of course it depends on what kind of video.
@@RobertMerz I have a small audience in shorts and am making shorts from full videos now. Looking at the analytics it does push some people through. Less than 9 seconds of the video’s best highlight seems good. 😌 👍
I know-of "Have Moto - Will Travel" and his remarkable story. He use to hang-out with us on-line in The Canadian Guys LiveStreams. I knew-of Kevin & Wayne before they even met Dave and gave themselves that Group Title. I encouraged them to start that Motorcycle Stream. It was also Me who invited "SHHH Moto Travels into the Canadian Guys Streams. I made not have a lotta videos in the last decade, but I started watching MotoVids back in 2009 and started my Channel in 2013. The thing about me is, I do not enjoy making videos, I feel it too much work and not enough reward. I am more of a Fan Girl.
Rich does have a remarkable story, and his trip with Carl vids are just so much fun to watch.
It sounds to me like you should be the one hosting live streams, our social coordinator here on UA-cam. Something for you to consider perhaps? It would get you out editing. Some pre production work, research and such, and then hit record!
I'm actually HAPPY with what I am doing now ;-) Yet, thanks for your vote of confidence. I will confess something to you. I am subscribed to just less the 1,000 other MotoChannels and its way too much for me. I have decided about 5-years back that I would not concentrate on any Male MotoChannels from outside Canada. I now focus on MotoLadies or MotoCouple from all over the world and Canadian MotChannels mostly.
Just a thought for a direction that you appear to be taking an interest in. I sub to about 30 channels, and I always feel bad that I cannot give them full attention, but there is only so much time so I focus on a few like Rich, Craig, and Jesse as well as a couple others. So I understand your need to focus, and probably refine that focus.
I do not mind your suggestions Robert 🙂 I bit off more then I can chew with my next few videos that I am working on, but every couple of days I put a few more hours into each one.
