    How biased are foiling reviews? - A chat with Nico Hopp (Hoppline) and Gav Blake (hydro_gav)

    Can we trust this review or is it just an ad? This is a difficult question to answer in the age of Influencers that try to make a living out of it. In this episode, I invited @hydro_gav and @hoppline to chat about being biased or unbiased in videos and reviews. It is difficult to be 100% unbiased but still honest. Our advantage: we are a bit older and are not surviving off Youtube and Instagram. Still - we love support from riders who enjoy our content.
