The footage Trooper filmed with his phone actually looked very similar to the quality of his $700 camera. Any wannabe #VloggersInParadise could just use their phone (Boski started that way), but consider getting a handheld stabilizer like the one this video shows at 9:45. This would be an especially good gift for BikeKing.

I think it's important that he publishes a vlog every day so people will watch it out of habit. He could have some generic backup vlogs ready for the days when he can't publish a real vlog.

I broke the habit of watching his vlogs and didn't watch him for months, but now I've watched a few because of the comments in this thread. I realized today that laughing at the comments here is the main reason I ever watched his vlogs.

I'm pretty sure someone sent him one months ago. But maybe God worked it out so he hurt his knee and can't ride the board anymore, which will save him from being killed or paralyzed by a car hitting him. When you don't listen to the whispers life will tell you louder and louder until finally it tells you in a way you can't ignore anymore.

It will just be a tiny fine needle with numbing medication around the wound then he will be completely numb for the cleaning and debridement of the wound.

He climbs the stairs to his apartment. He should really be home resting with his knee elevated and iced.

I was disappointed he didn't show the elbow wound in his latest video so we can see how it's healing. It shouldn't hurt worse; that's a bad sign.

I don't understand how he doesn't have cheap subsidized Obamacare. Unless he really doesn't file taxes and doesn't pay the penalty for not having insurance.

He needs to marry his woman ASAP and get on her insurance plan, or get a dealer job just for the insurance.

The real hero here. But what are the odds Trooper will accept your offer? He hates being given any kind of advice or being told what to do. He seems to think people are trying to harm him but actually everyone is just trying to help him.

The longer stubble beard looks good but the corners of his moustache could use some trimming.

But forget about that, what is up with the new logo?

Boski, did you join the Illuminati?

How the heck are you going to put that logo on a hat and have people buy it one day?

Did ACR and Legends approve this?

Need to run contests for best new logo and merch designs for all the vloggers. Prizes can be personal training sessions or meetups.

Not without everyone who was banned. They are the banned band.

Where is Mr.Ducks?

Agreed, his road trip videos are so much better than seeing him go to Starbucks everyday.

He did the no carbs thing for two weeks...his life duly improved. He looked better. When I saw him doing pizza week for 9 days I unsubbed for the third time.

It doesn't matter I don't think you should bet because he won't be forthcoming about what happens and will probably never see a doctor. If he has meniscus damage he'll just limp about life like the guy in the movie "The Cooler."

100 to 1 he never consents to some "MRI action. What? What? magnets, no way am I doing that!!!"

I can’t see Tim ever posting here again. He has made it clear that he really hates this forum. And it’s difficult to get him to change his mind. Like he says he does what he wants.

Not sure how interested Brad would be in posting here but his videos don’t get talked about here that much (doesn’t help that he isn’t here though).

Jaman doesn’t get talked about much either so we haven’t seen as much of him recently here.

I’ve definitely watched more Boski videos because he posts here and lets us know when he has a new video.

I enjoy Trooper and root for him to succeed, but I have realistic expectations. We started off watching the vlog of a relatively healthy able bodied man in his 40s whose dream was to move to Vegas and grind low stakes poker. Expecting him to be able to make wise decisions and do the things necessary to significantly improve his position in life was not realistic. People in their 40s who have not been sidetracked by substance abuse problems or incarceration and think grinding low stakes poker is an awesome goal to have in life are probably not the type of people who are going to end up hitting it big.

There are always the exceptions, but it is clear that Trooper is content to just get by which is fine. He is not hurting anyone and is able to support himself which is more than a lot of people can say. And to be fair he has actually made some real modest improvements to his life by growing his youtube channel, diversifying his income sources with the store and game hosting, etc. It would be awesome to see the light click on one day and for him to get real with himself and do the things it takes to really move up in life (be that in poker stakes or otherwise), but I am still entertained and hope Trooper continues to improve himself, however incrementally.

He showed it to a doctor at the meet up game and he said it's gonna be fine. He took a tumble so he's gonna be sore and swollen for a while. He's a trooper he will prevail.

What if he just shows up one legged at some point in the next few years? What is the leg is still there but doesn't function?

Good to see this guy smiling again. If you're reading this Tappan, Cheers!

Was trying to figure figure out the meaning of the video. I’d he going back to poker?

Great post, very well thought out and expressed

Would be funny if the Doctor was actually a Vet or like a therapist.

I get your point though I’m just messing around.

Also didn’t show the doctor the knee, though

I think so but also not sure. But I sure hope so! Tappen was great and he really established himself as a good poker vlogger before life got in the way

For all intents and purposes, Bike King has been retired from the vlog game for quite some time..

I hope Bikeking can get a job in aviation or at least get a good bankroll in Florida. He's a good kid.

I hear there's 6 figure potential

Is the OG talking about Squid Face as the 2-5 player? My recollection was that Squid Face turned down Trooper for staking. I could be wrong but I have pretty good memory. Was coaching part of the staking arrangement? OG is on a rant again that he was never offered coaching from legit players.

Rant rant rant OG! Thumbs up.

I was hoping to see Trooper hit the road soon, but damn Trooper, not like that!

Squid has already addressed this. Check your memory

I have to agree with The OG. No coaching offer made. The thread does not count as a legitimate offer. That's my memory

Boski reading his pornstache comments was pretty good.
