    mtb is a recent addition to the fortnine products carried so they are starting to bring that info to the company channel. (mtb is a massivily quick growing sector so its worth it to "advertise".)
    the fortnine channel has capitalized on their popularity to bring in a bigger team, Introduction of 43, and later Dod. They also are putting out videos multiple times a month where previously it was maybe once a month.

    One of the last and most recent of Ryan’s videos I watched was specifically about how riding with all the PPT gear is useless and he goes into depth on his statement, acknowledging that protection is necessary but and this is where things shifted::: the standards, limitations of various pads, protection levels are determined by the manufacturing sector despite Governmment/State regulations and standardized testing along with “ the facade “ that comes as a consequence and or result of the manufacturing industry striving to make the big $$$$ vs the actual amount of of protection that Level 1/Level 2 provides. He goes into the science of it all and as click baited as the title of the video initially looked….. Ryan had one hell of a point. *** This could definitely have caused several major ripples with his employment, employer, employer’s various gear sponsors- when you tell the truth, show and back up your own claims and place a dark cloud over the sources of PPT gear… They don’t care for that very much.

      Ryan isn't going anywhere. He even said in an older video that they are bringing on more host. The kind of content they do takes an immense amount of time (some take months of filming and editing), having more hosts, allows them to bring more videos. It's not less of Ryan, it's just more F9 content, so if a subject isn't to your liking don't watch it.

    This video seems to be a little on the clickbait side. I like F9 don’t get me wrong and as a Canadian I shop there a lot however calling their videos “no bs” and “science based” is a stretch. Over the last couple years the no BS reviews I watched them for gave way to manufactured controversies for clickbait and pseudo science observations. Stuff like air vests and MIPS in helmets seem like interesting safety advancements at a glance but there is no real data that these reduce injury or fatalities in motorcycle accidents, but they do drive up costs on motorcycle gear and justify marketing departments. Oh and help F9 sell stuff. It’s well produced but have your pinch of salt on standby.

      @trailtrashgarage - legit! I guess when it comes to "science" that world has turned into hype and opinion too, as journals have devolved into corruption like other media.

I just hope they continue to focus on quality videos rather than sales numbers?

I'm betting they are trying to get a piece of the cycling market up here since it seems to have exploded at least in the GTA. Government has been spending lots on bike lanes and I blow by groups of spandex wearing road cyclists on concession roads steady year round. I'm sure mountain biking is equally as lucrative a market.

    soon he got so big , he wanted to change it up a bit but the "owner " thought he should stick to his floor job as a sales person. Sooooo he bought the rights to the name for the UA-cam channel from his boss for A DOLLAR ! and went off to start again. And that is where Ryan is at. BUT F9 owns the youtube channel ,,, And at 1.9 mill subs Ryan cant buy him out.
    If there was a very large clue he is leaving F9 , then it was the move to BC's warmer weather. BUT he cant make a post on F9 to say he's forming his own channel.
