simple solution is to not watch them IMAO

I dont watch them. I just came across it on Youtube, saw the first few minutes and asked what people see in this. Was just curious, that is all. I still dont think any amount of humor in the commentaries could make a video like this bearable to watch.

Personally, I believe commentary and somebodies voice has A LOT to do with how many subscribers/views they have.

The videos are funnier when they fail, as a perfect run is boring.

This.

People who aren't very familiar with trials will be bored watching a perfect run. The top players have so much skill that it just makes the game look easy and uneventful. watching these guys play cracks me up. My wife cracks up whenever she sees me wreck, but perfect runs look boring to her unless I do a bunch of flips n stuff.

Of course when I watch some of the top riders, it makes my hands sweat because I know how difficult some of those obstacles are. but watching these guys is totally different. it's relaxing and fun, even tho it can be a little bit frustrating at times.

I completely disagree with perfect runs being boring. Yes, it is all a matter of opinion, but I cringe every single time I see a video of someone who just does the same thing repeatedly expecting the outcome to somehow improve, *cough *cough, Albert Einstein's definition of insanity, *cough http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/qu...ins133991.html

That's because you are a seasoned Trials player.. you see the game differently than most other people that are not very familiar with the game. Those people don't know what it takes to get that perfect run, so it doesn't have the same effect on them as it does on you.

Before I really knew what Trials was, I started watching Malachyte's videos. At first I was just interested in watching the Level 4 videos because I found it more entertaining to watch him fail 300 times. So I can see what threewheels means. I then began to appreciate his 0f runs on Level 1s and starting watching those. Obviously I still think his Level 4 vids are impressive but 0fing a Level 3 is way more impressive. So I can see both sides of the coin.

I don't like HaatFilms because their commentary doesn't do anything for me, but I do watch EpileptikRobot which is similar to HaatFilms except I like the commentary is better.

I can agree with this, the HaatFilms commentary is just not good at all in my opinion, but I can watch akamikeb do TETS all day, because he is entertaining, and for the most part, learns from his mistakes. Also, on the bit about Malachyte, it is incredible to watch his level 4s and 5s, because they are so damn hard. It doesn't matter that he faults a bunch to beat them, and I don't mind watching those repeated faults. The trials videos that annoy me are the ones where there are 150 faults on what is barely a medium track.
