Here’s an interesting one I had sent through today from a new Youtube channel that’s launching on the first of the year called Line9. This channel will be a year long program where they will follow the lives of a few different action sports people, including our own Harry Main. Here’s the other interesting part, each of these people are going to be selecting a few unheard of riders to get some shine time, with one from each category getting their own feature on the channel. Take a peek at the teaser above, then expect to hear more in the future.
“Line9, a unique new YouTube action sports channel featuring surfer Fergal Smith, snowboarder Stale Sandbech, BMXer Harry Main (above) and skater Madars Apse, launching in January 2014.
The action sports world is currently drowning in a sea of free content. So what makes Line9, the innovative new channel from YouTube production studio Bigballs launching in January 2014, different?
Talent: Fergal Smith, Harry Main, Stale Sandbech and Madars Apse.
Line9 pairs four of the biggest names in European action sports with four of the best filmers, and gives each crew their own year-long documentary series. With the focus on lifestyle as well as action, each show will give the audience a unique perspective on the lives of their heroes.
Talent Search: The Fifth Line and Cut & Run
Are you the next Harry, Ståle, Fergal (above) or Madars?
Each crew will also be tasked with finding the next generation of riding and filming talent to feature alongside them on the channel.
Once the athletes have chosen their shortlist, the audience will pick the winners – and a new generation of top riders will have the chance to become part of the Line9 roster.
True Audience Interactivity: Comments Below
Most action sports content invites viewers to be passive observers. In contrast, Line9 shows like Comments Below take advantage of the YouTube comment format to give viewers the chance to express their views directly, engage with their heroes and help shape channel content.”
