Watching some videos I got an idea.
Let's make a list of "motovlogging achievements" to include into our videos. I saw some vloggers do it and I don't think anybody carries a list so let's make one. Ideally we need to get to something big and diverse, like 100~200 achievements in varying degrees of difficulty. Let's keep achievements out of youtube metrics (Likes, views, subscribers and the likes).
A good idea will be to categorize them in "n00b mistake", "dangerous situations" or something like that but I'll leave that for when we have a big list. Also it'll be nice to have a logo to embed in the videos while doing the achievements.
So this is the list so far:
01- Who are you? - Wave to another biker and don't get a wave back.
02- Welcome to the tubes! - Upload your first vlog.
03- Respect! - Get a wave back (this started it all
).
04- Would you like a towel? - Vlog in the rain (or better yet, get caught in the rain while vlogging).
05- 何て言ったの? - Vlog in another language.
06- Aargh!, my ears! - Upload a vlog of yourself singing inside your helmet (I know a bunch who already did this!).
07- You seem handy - Upload a DIY video.
08- Got caught! - Get pulled over by a cop.
09- Problem officer? - Go past a police checkpoint, don't get pulled over.
10- Do you even vlog brah? - Participate in one of the weekly hangouts hosted by motovloggers for motovloggers.
11- Early vlogger gets the views - Vlog in the night, past twilight and end in sunrise.
12- Cool story bro! - Vlog non-stop for 15 minutes. No editing cuts allowed.
13- Time flies! - Vlog dawn to dusk.
14- You done yet? - Vlog non-stop for 1 hour. Only one cut allowed.
15- Vlog forever! - Upload a vlog of yourself vlogging for 4 hours non-stop. Cuts allowed every 20 minutes since most cameras can't handle non-stop recording.
