Hello From Greece!

Hello everyone!

I'm Chris (MinusFormality) and I'm coming at you from Greece, currently riding a Triumph Street Triple 2008.
I've been riding exclusively motorcycles since I was 20yrs old, now 28, but just only a week ago I decided to start Motovlogging, after watching the "big guys" for the past few months!

Its a sort of a personal project for me and a VERY - VERY enjoyable hobby to do, especially combined with PC Multimedia editing, which is another "amateur hobby" of mine for years! I'm having massive fun so far!
Sadly, I decided to start the whole idea on my native language, which is Greek but to find out, that there is literally maybe ONE more Motovlogger in the whole country and most of our riders dont even know what Motovlogging is, actually bugs me.

Anyhow, I'm happy to be a part of this community, learn, give or take some feedback, explore and just hang out with you guys! Plus, MAYBE, just maybe you could convince me to trust my English speaking skills more and actually expand my videos!

Ride safe people!

Welcome to the forum man. :D

Why not do odd vlogs in Greek? :D Someone's got to start. And you'll be able to serve a niche audience.

As for your English, you're clearly lying about having trouble. -_- LIAR! Do them in English, you'll be perfectly okay.
 
Ahahaha! Thanks for the warm welcome & the kind words peeps.

Kinda knew most of you would say that, but honestly, its abit more complicated, atleast in my mind.

Long story short is, my writing and listening and general understanding of the English language is on a pretty good level BUT speaking it is different (I guess).
I had MAYBE 2 years of classes on the language so most of my English are self taught mostly thru hardcore gaming till my mid 20's.
Most importantly, my videos so far are 99% based on my funny personality, stupid quotes "on the fly" and generally just being me. Using my native language helps me to do so and I'm afraid that if I try English, these elements might be lost somewhere between of "what word should I use now ?" and "how do I express this ?".

Thing is, I can be stubborn as f#$% when it comes to things that I love doing, so I'll probably give English Motovlogging a few tries until I feel comfortable enough and post the results here, hopefully for any appreciated feedback.

I'm probably going to attempt Japanese motovlogs so I'll give you company. :D When you do vlogs in Greek, do put subtitles so that we can enjoy them too. :D
 
Hello peeps, thanks for the warm welcomez!

So I've done a few personal English Motovlogs but the results (for my personal taste) are not as expected.. As I've said, I am still kinda missing the "funny / stupid" part of my native language, while trying to focus perfecting my speaking.

Its abit frustrating to be honest, as I'd love to share my work with you guys and/or a bigger audience in general. I only have 6 videos up so far, been about 2 weeks that I started but I spent like 10~15 hours to complete a video edit and another 10hours to render and upload. Sucks that I cant share due to language barrier.
