Hey Elliott! You've been the ski channel I watch the most for the last few months. What I particularly like is that you are critical but not whiny. You remain true to yourself and you definitely are an entertaining guy to listen to and watch. Keep the content coming and I hope you are able to keep things growing without selling your soul ;)

@lauhanwai 4 дня назад

All the best Elliot! Listening to you is like listening to a knowledgeable friend talk about something they’re passionate about. That’s always enjoyable

@zakingle1420 4 дня назад

Love the channel Elliot! Please stay with it. You’re doing great! ⛷️🔥🤙

Cool story buddy... I hope your content continues and you can make an honest buck or two as well

@stevenkozicki943 3 дня назад

I really like your channel. Your reviews reek of credibility. You come off as my good friend who is stuck with the chore of breaking me the truth. I'm glad you're being there for your son. I've been working with a guy who has been "that guy" for his autistic son, and I first met his son eight years ago. I would describe him then as severely Autistic. I ran into his son last week, and he is driving a car, tall, handsome, and well-spoken. A very pleasant young man who now has no outward signs of Autisim. I credit the love and dedication of his father for his amazing progress. I wish the same for your son.

@bobbyfisher3253 4 дня назад

Your channel's great, Elliot. For whatever reason, it's about the only channel on skiing that I look for consistently--maybe b/c I know you're no trying to sell skis! I do like the variety of your topics, and the relaxed, casual presentation. On the subject of topics: I'm looking forward to a program about waxing which you promised a month or so ago. Also, though I know it's harder to do and takes more personnel, a non-pov film of your skiing would be preferable to the fish-eye, helmet cam. Love the channel in any case.

Awesome Elliot! I was stay at home dad for several years. It's so good for the kids to have a parent home with them.

I watch Ski Essentials to hear about certain skis. I love watching Jeff and Bob ski. Rickety ski reviews popped up and I watched a critique of Ski Essentials and laughed my ass off. I love his reviews and straight up honest reviews of skis. i have been skiing for 60 years and I love to see how skis are designed and why I like certain skis. Please keep it going ! I love hearing your critique of skis!

@user-ts3nk1te3m 4 дня назад

I watch ski essentials to hear about certain skis, I watch this channel to hear the TRUTH about set skis 😂

The Mexican wool blankets hanging on the swing set gives this channel a distinct signature and flavor.😄

@davehecox 2 дня назад

Elliot thanks for sharing about your life and who you are. Your willingness to be real and provide criticism is exactly why I watch your videos. Other ski reviews just come across as fluff. And you helped me decide on buying a pair of Atomic Mavericks! Keep up the great work!

@StartCodonUST 4 дня назад

I really appreciate your opinions, especially on skis. I feel like I have a good sense of your general ski preferences, which makes it really easy to get a sense of whether I'd like a ski even if our preferences differ. So great have an independent voice in the ski review space.

@michaelaronson9447 4 дня назад

Ski Essentials is a business linked to their ski shop which drives their business, obviously. Keep doing what you’re doing. You know as much as those two “other “ski guys. Your energy is great.

@anthonyalpha4118 4 дня назад

You're the Outsider of the YT Skiing community? Then I'm even gladder I've found you! Yours is largely the only non-tutorial channel I watch. There's something about your emblem that got me. I enjoyed your story, I wish you continued success and glad to hear there's lots more to come!

@dwaynenarayan3716 4 дня назад

So glad you are continuing - this is a great channel. I look forward to all your videos

@jons7e 4 дня назад

I subscribed when you had like 300 subs... so to see it grow over 4K+ in a matter of months tells me you're meeting a need in content creation that wasn't being met. I think it's great to have honest non-bias, non-selling product, type insights to narrow down skis to demo and buy

@rasmuspedersen5147 4 дня назад

You rock! Massive energy from scandinavia❤ best ski chanel on youtube by far!!!

@garyhunter9612 4 дня назад

Really appreciate your channel Elliot, you sound like a great dad. Because of you I'm going to try and get my hands on a pair of Atomic Maverick's during our Aussie season to demo even though I'm more of a Volkl tragic. Thanks mate love your enthusiasm.

@irideaduck939 4 дня назад

Elliott I've been here when you had less than 500 subscribers! Glad your able to be there for your son! Keep up the good work!

@alexlimkin7397 4 дня назад

I have a theory that being exposed to a range of different skis can improve our skiing. There is something about the fact that every pair of skis has a different feel (due to shape, construction, weight, materials, etc). Adjusting our technique to tap into the specific qualities/capabilities of different skis leads to general refinement/improvement. Wondering if this is a phenomenon you can speak to? It may be worth exploring this idea, assuming it has proven to be true for you--as the videos over the last year seem to indicate. Glad you are forging on!

@Nik3Lik3Mik3 4 дня назад

Really glad to hear RU-vid is working out for you and a brighter future. The part about you being critical, I think that's part of your charm should I say? Makes you stand out when everyone is trying to be only about positivity. Also, is there any plans for the family featuring in your videos in the future? Luv from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️! And I'm slightly hurt you forgot where Calgary was 😂 ouch~

@diegocapelli 20 часов назад

for me , "the production quality", is your sign, is one of the best.......arround the content

@stuarteynon6884 3 дня назад

Keep doing what you're doing Elliott! It's refreshing to see your raw authentic and entertaining opinions provided in this industry which is full of hypocrites and bullshitters. No doubt Rickety Ski Reviews will evolve over time, but stay true to your roots and keep it up!

@RicketySkiReviews 2 дня назад

Thanks, I appreciate it Stuart!

@skyoung419z 4 дня назад

I subscribed in Jan this year and haved enjoyed the raw, unbiased reviews. Our ski backgrounds are similar (Student of Warren Witherall - Ski like a racer) and so I trust your reviews. Bought a pair of Kendos on sale this spring largely due to your reviews. Keep it up, your audience will find you!

@osceolaseminole5596 4 дня назад

Thanks for keeping these videos coming. It's great to have someone that we can trust to give honest reviews and advice. I ordered the Mier wrangler. Without your reviews I would have never even considered it as an option and would have made a costly mistake picking out my first pair of skis. Thanks again Elliott

@cadamcyk 4 дня назад

How do you like the Wranglers? Watching Elliott's videos on these has me close to pulling the trigger on 'em. Thanks!

@davidfinch9 4 дня назад

Stay true to who you are. I could write a thesis on your situation but I’ll try and keep it short. You being who you are and how you’re uploading is why I’m here. There are lots of things you could do to pull a bigger audience and it would cease being worth my time, it would become like everything else. Everything today is an over developed product with hardly any substance. Your vids are like having a convo with a good friend. You’re knowledgeable but not insane like a lot of ski people get with their absolutist opinions. The moment you stop to think “will this upset brand xyz” you’ll have lost what makes your channel special. The critical assessment of skis is your differentiator. Too often reviewers value cozy relationships with brands and if your review prevents that I don’t need to hear about their shitty products away. Love, from the Ice Coast.

for what is worth... i love the backyard vibe with towels hanging! keep it going man!

@ChristianArandel 4 дня назад

Hey, I’ll admit I wasn’t initially sold on your show but came to appreciate your no nonsense reviews. You won me over with your review of the Enforcer 100 which summed why I didn’t buy them (they can’t carve!)

@michaelaronson9447 4 дня назад

Your children are more important than anything else. Skiing is a great fun sport.

@jean-francoiscloutier7361 3 дня назад

I watch you all the time but I do not leave any comments. This time yes. You are down to earth, right on. From Whistler. Hope you know were it is. 🤣🤣🤣

@michaelaronson9447 4 дня назад

Thanks for sharing your story. You have your values set straight. Good for you!

@ExcaIan 4 дня назад

I know you mentioned a bit about production quality and some of the ones on the slopes (esp the carving one, which imo you had some great points but really needed a script) were a bit hard to hear, true. But you're like a hundred times clearer than the ski essentials guys. I don't know what is up with their equipment or audio, I can barely make out what they're saying half the time, and I'm assuming they have a much fancier set up than you do. Keep it up Elliot!

@LB-sf6ys 4 дня назад

Thank you for your content! I ski at Cannon, I like Burke… honestly anywhere with snow or ice… your Chanel feels like Cannon if that makes sense.

Does this mean “you are sponsored by” Next season😂? ….Sorry. Your videos are awesome, keeping it real is…. Real! Seriously, I want to know more about binding “wedge” and how it affects our skiing, if you can do something like that 🤘😎🤘

@kemperboyd100 2 дня назад

Hands down my favourite RU-vid channel - thank you! P.s. what powder skis to buy? Skied >100 weeks and now mainly ski Åre sweden. Current quiver Mirus Cor and QST 98 with hybrid bindings for day touring. What to add? 🤔 Thank you again for the amazing videos!!

@mbtravel7294 4 дня назад

Hi Elliot, love your videos, helped me decide on the qst 92's. Have you tried to introduced your autistic child to skiing? I have a 6 year old with autism and she seems to take great interest in my equipment. I ski alone and think that would be a great activity we could do together i'm just not sure if i can find an instructor that specializes in teaching autistic kids. As far as therapy is concerned i guess we are lucky here in New York , our child's therapists come right to our house so it save us a lot of time. Best of luck with the channel and keep up the great reviews!

Seems like Ski Essentials talks more about the negatives of a ski than they used to. Hmmm…

@kangsterizer 4 дня назад

i just watch it cuz its not too professional and interesting. i dont think the big channels would record in their backyards while hanging their laundry lol. who knows maybe next winter u've 100-200k subs and before you know it you're one of these YT stars lol. ps: you've some sunscreen on ur face. keep it up haha.

@reddottx 4 дня назад

I watch a guitar channel where he won’t accept merchandise. He feels he can’t be 100% honest if he doesn’t pay for the stuff himself. He sells most everything after the review. Buying/selling probably wouldn’t work with skis, but maybe having a relationship with a shop that would let you demo skis rather than from manufacturers directly? Mention the shop in your video and drive business their way. Curated deserves to be torn to shreds but you have to be careful with individual skis because I might love something you hate, so a negative review from a “gift” ski might be tricky .

@andrewdiamond2697 4 дня назад

Not to nitpick, but it's literally in the name of the channel. I mean, it would be pretty disingenuous to be "Rickety Ski Reviews - Where we DON'T review skis!"
