You are one of the very select few creators whose videos are really sensible and make me feel happy or give some food for thought.

I feel the same. I always feel inspired just by seeing that Jake has posted something. Jake has made a Pavlovian dog out me.

Same! The more I watch the bigger channels the more it becomes disingenuous, to me.

I'm here since ~2 years, and I'm slowly realizing this channel never disappoints me. Thank you Jake

Just stumbled across your channel and this is the video that made me subscribe. As a fellow creator it’s really hard to feel ok posting slower, more thoughtful content like this. But you’re doing a great job at it

It’s been six months since I’ve posted anything. I took a job that completely leeched me of all my time and creativity. I’m recently unemployed again but frankly I’m far better spirits since being let go. And frankly, I can’t wait to start making videos again. Because it’s just so much fun.

@@JakeFrew Totally! Thanks for the inspiration! And if you're hiring, let me know lol.

Man what a beautiful way to think about seasonality and creative work. Especially when coming back from a gap, you do feel guilty almost if there's nothing big to show. I'll have to be aware of this especially after the Christmas break. Thanks dude ♥️

Comparison to others, anxiety about bothering other people with the camera, and generally worrying about looking silly. I enjoy creating things and that is enough. Not everyone needs to like it or see it for it to be a worthwhile process. I enjoy your videos and they've helped me post a little more this year. Thanks and keep it up.

As someone who's a little burnt out making other people's videos, I definitely feel this. Thank you and welcome back!

We are in that seasonal moment now Jake and are planning our next chapter on YT. It’s both refreshing and scary all at once. Sooo love seeing you again man, and sharing this very timely video. You’re like a Jedi master 😎🤙🏼

I hope you do keep creating Jake, You are one of the few YT makers that inspired me to hit record and pick up my camera again.

dude is just so real and down to earth. so refreshing. you say what everyone else is thinking when it comes to the hustle culture of content creating, GIVE YOUR SELF PERMISSION TO TAKE A BREAK! from one jake to another, thank you!

Your works are really inspiring Jake. Really love the message here.

Love this video man. Stoked to see you back.

Love your videos Jake. Someone who is learning to shoot videos, using the software and now starting a new job, those are great things to keep on my mind when I pick up my camera.

That forest looks amazing man, silver birch in the autumn is such a vibe

Good to see you back! Your videos always inspire me in some way so thank you!

Always look forward to your videos and that you do not do like a lot of people and just post all the time. For me for the question at the end of the video I get stuck in the same old pattern of where I go. LOVE your work, Jake!!

Somewhere between 6 to 9 times and between 4 hours and 20 minutes. These guys are great, have to love Colorado. Stoked to see you back on here with a new video. The reasons you left are reasons I don’t create. Too worried what I want to create doesn’t fit my niche. At just over 420 subs I shouldn’t let that stop me. 🤣 Also overthinking that my quality isn’t as good as Jake Frew and others when in reality that also doesn’t matter. Also enjoy the breaks, they are important.

Thanks Jake, to get your perspective is always refreshing and inspiring!

Welcome back man! Glad to see you making content again!

Always stoked to see a new Jake video!! Refreshed perspective immediately.

Love seeing you and your friends do your thing up on the mountains. Also this is exactly what I needed to hear right now.

Not posted myself for over 3 months.. you always give me so much inspiration to create. I'm getting my camera out today!! Cheers man. So good to have you back 👊🏻🔥

So stoked that you uploaded a new video, the point with the seasonal breaks is spot on! (the rest of the video as well of course :D) I usually don't write comments but I have to say that you are a huge inspiration to me and that I love every video I've watched so far. And I'm so happy that I met you at the Downhill World Cup in Lenzerheide, you can't imagine how much that surprised me. It was so nice to be able to chat with you for a few minutes and I really hope that we will meet again one day and can talk to each other for a little longer. Please never stop creating these videos, keep up the amazing work! :)

Love this! Im in a bit of a rut myself and a big part of that is comparing myself to other creators and feeling my videos aren't good enough.

Glad to have you back man! Great video as always

Dude, thanks man! I just came back from an amazing trip in Mexico and have so much footage that I want to put together, but have been fighting it for some reason. Your vid was right on time for me. Kudos!

Had a very weird feeling in my gut when you were sitting on the edge of that cliff looking at the waterfall ._. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love every single one of your videos! It feels like you're on the same wavelength as me and share similar thoughts. The art you create is so inspiring and gives me back some motivation to go out and do something creative in times where I don't feel like doing anything at all. Sending love and hugs from Germany. Thank you for sharing your work and thoughts with us!

I've never paused to look at creativity like other things that have seasonality, but I think you hit the nail on the head. There is a reason "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is a cliche after all. If we don't get the opportunity to miss something, we lose sight of things in the daily grind. And that comment on having something big enough to justify the time off... seriously, that hits home. Keep being you, Jake and keep posting when it's right for you. In the meantime, I'll just hit up the older uploads for the gems I've since forgotten.

reaaly nice talk, specially what you said about coming back after some time with no creative things and how this should be like others things, i´ve been feeling exactly the way you said about, feeling the pressure to compensate the time off, thnk you for this

Jake is the only creator that make videos that relates to everyone of us. His content is very original and his works really inspire me alot to be myself and never compare with anyone. Keep creating bro and God bless you!

Such an amazing video, very inspiring! I love to see how authentic you are and anyone can be! Like you said, don't compare yourself with others. This is a big trap for me and funnily enough I always compare myself with big youtubers... I really loved this video Jake, thank you for creating this 🙏🏼🤍

I love the comparison to riding your bike after a season of being away. That’s a super normal thing we all understand but would never compare to creative work, haha. Good reminders. Glad you’re uploading but also extra glad that you’re doing so after living and recharging elsewhere!

I take a lot of inspiration and good things from your work. Always here to watch your videos.

Good to see ya (really cool shots with diagonal angle. Trick with log, when the camera was bouncing, was nice too). Sometimes, when I don't want to create anything, I thinking that everything interesting is already made, and there is no space and no need to add something. But fortunelly, I often realize, that even if it's not innovative, maybe I will find something between the repatitions or interpretations. But in pure creation is probably better to do not thing, just act. Greetings from Europe!

I needed this speech shit man you are too right I ve been following trends and not really creating I focus too much on posting frequency rather than making stuff that I actually like and put in no matter how much work it takes

Always so happy to see an upload from you Jake 🙏🏼❤

Great storytelling as always. I love the shots of the yellow tree leaves. I could NEVER hang over that cliff... CRAZY!!!

Jake! Loved the thoughts and the location you were hiking looks INSANE :)

Jake, I love your approach to YT and this definitely resonated with me. For us, It's been 5 months since we've posted anything on YT. I've been held back by the same things you've mentioned here. Trend chasing for sure. In regards to #2, something that's been helpful, "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today". Not my quote but I think it's important to focus on self-development and try to block out what everyone else is doing better or what you wish you were doing. Over-thinking and over-consumption looking for inspiration can stop me from creating as well, rather than just producing and learning by doing instead. Hope to see another video from you soon! Cheers 🍻 P.S. Hope you got the windshield fixed. 🤬 Always hated it when that happened.

Love your thoughts and videos! You're a great storyteller both verbally and visually. Thanks for your great work, happy to have you back! /Stina & Matti

Damn. This hit hard. Definitely subbing for more of the gems you'll undoubtedly drop. Be happy my friend. Be safe.

I think this is one of the best videos you've done. Def. on my saved list.

I'm taking 2 months off from creating videos and already loving it.

love your videos Jake, great watching and good advice... thank you

Totally resonating with all three points mate. Thanks again for the inspo! 🖤

What a timing :) Thank you for this mate, I really needed to hear somethings like this 🙃

Thanks for the video, I think you hit the reason why my craving for adventure is so high and I’m always disappointed in myself, I’m always comparing myself to KZreadrs who are always doing adventures and living life to what I believe to be the fullest.

Glad your back buddy 🤘🏽

Really loved this video. The messages were great and awesome visuals.

Thank you for the great video! also loved the imagery and everything :)

Always enjoy your videos and your messages! Cheers

This was just what I needed to hear! Thank you Jake.

Like Jake you’re the best man! This vid really really identity this issue for me, thank you for making this and keep creating more 👊❤

Yes Jake! Hitting home with this stuff man couldn't agree more.

OMG thank you!!! This was so needed - and such a beautiful vid! I really have problems with the lapse of time posting. I work full-time as an editor and am a care-taker for my Mom. So trying to pump out a vid every week is theoretically possible - but it would break me in half. And I have the hardest time coming to terms with that. I get crushed over and over again when I'm only putting up a vid once a month. It makes me feel like such a loser. And I don't want to feel that way.

Thanks dude! Needed to hear this!

These videos are so good. Thanks, Jake

This was so incredibly helpful at this point in my journey! Thanks so much man!

The garden analogy - you can’t endless harvest a garden. There’s a time to grow and a time to harvest. Inspiring video, as always!

I think you're actually my favourite KZreadr. Thanks for the video, man. ALWAYS appreciate your videos!

I'd say my strongest creative hang-up is my lack of time. It's hard to feel creative in a rush and life seems to find a way to keep me busy all the time... I really enjoyed the visuals of this video as well as the advice!

YEW! Always a great day when you post brother! 😁

Dude I miss that fox vids. You killed it there Glad to see you back to your own Jake video style

The seasonality aspect is such a good point! Actually, that's the reason why I like working in more fields - bcs I can stop doing one thing and focus on the other.

Authenticity shines through your vids. Also honesty about the creative process.

Missed you, glad you’re back, 😊

Over a year for me. I need some inspiration to get started again, only I’ve slipped into this routine of doing other stuff and not realising I’ve not recorded anything. This was an awesome video and well worth the wait, it’s going to inspire me to finally get myself shifting and get recording something! And the Jesse Driftwood collab was awesome too! That’s a great thought with seasonality. Maybe when I get to creating for KZread again, I should do it for a few months then take a break for a month or two to reset and then do it again. It may get me to like it more. Yeah the main hang up for me is like i said, getting into a routine of other things away from creating for KZread, if that makes sense. It gets to be an afterthought or not even a thought.

I love your videos dude. As a recent CO transplant (moved here last December), I hope to bump into you out in the mountains one day.

That's exactly what I needed. Love your energy

Great to see your work agin . Good Messeage Jake Keep up the good work 🙂

Missed you Jake, youre a huge inspiration for me

Really relatable! Also in other industries. Thanks for the video!

Hell. YEAH! Thanks for uploading!

Thank you for the inspiration always 🙏🏽

The words I needed to hear. Thank you!!! 💯

3rd point really stuck out to me. Thanks for this Jake! 🤙🏼

wow love these snow shots 🔥

Yes yes yes! seasonality. knocking the rust off. spot on :)

Hey dude welcome back🥰

Good to see you, and thanks for the tips lol. Trying not to compare my growth to others around me. It’s such a grind. The hardest part for me is finding the motivation to make another video after posting one. It can take a week or more to get the energy to start editing again. Not great when I want to be making weekly uploads haha.

Jakeeee. You just made my day better!

Jake, good to see another vid man! More content please! 🤣✌️

They say kids learn by repeating, things over and over again and not fearing of making mistakes. I think the biggest reason I do not create is that I act like an adult person. I aim too high without really doing any of those mistakes that would make me better. And when it comes to you, your videos - you are one of the most unique creator I follow. I absolutely admire how you combine those beautiful visual elements with a real, well thought out content. Whenever I see that tiny blue dot next to your name in channel list I know for sure I will enjoy your video. I hope you keep creating.

I’m only a minute in. And love this man. Made me laugh with your intro. I’m in the same boat. Made over 25 videos in the last 6 weeks and I’m burned out . 😱 but I appreciate vids like this! Thank you

Seasonality is also why I love mountain biking and snowboarding. I also take breaks from filming. These are all great points. I’ve stopped worrying about punching out a video every “x” timeframe and I just casually make my videos now at a pace that works for me. May be why I don’t have a massively huge following but that’s not why I do it so it doesn’t matter at the end of the day.

Beautiful video!

Post more videos about mountainbike!!!! Greetins from brazil !!! I love your videos and your perspective/photographys.

I haven't been posting for 10 months now. I feel like I've lost and missed so much but through this time I was really enjoying myself not having to worry about what or when my next video was gonna be. I've been spending more time gaming with friends but I think its comfortable to start back again

beeen missing your vids ! thamks! :D

youre the man

Always a great message in each video. Jake, if you are reading this. My 6 year old just asked me if you were okay after he saw you sitting on that rock by the waterfall. Lol.

Loved that Video Jake! How is the Song at 7:18 called? It just fit so well!!

Would be interesting having to ride / not ride to the seasons, here in Australia the MTB conditions are relatively the same all year long, dusty for 3 seasons then a little bit damp in winter. I only see seasonality on my road bike and gravel bike, I end up riding less in winter because I avoid riding in the rain and it gets a pretty cold. But I couldn't imagine riding MTB multiple times a week! I thought I rode heaps by riding once a week, trails are 15 minutes from my house but the best trails are 40 mins away so pretty close but I do enough bike maintenance as is! I couldn't imagine if I sped up the wear 6x ! Ah crap im comparing myself to people 😉great tips by the way and I agree.

Great content again, Jake. Do what you like. Take breaks here and there. refill the battery. And just to things to live your life. My biggest way to not live is postponing. I do it and I hate it. And I hate it, but I still do it.. some better days, some worse. But in the end i feel like im growing into less postponing. ah well.

Another great video

finally new video!

the seasonality of things is a real thing! I FEEL THAT

I can definitely identify with you Jake, you're such an inspiration. 🇧🇷

Awesome video!

Killing those dutch angles!
