Just remember to please be kind and remember whatever you comment could affect each person very differently!
Kara :)
Welcome to my channel! I am beginner Mountain Bike rider documenting my progression, struggles and sucesses on my channel! I hope that whether you are a beginner rider yourself or an advanced or even pro rider you can take something from my channel and enjoy the journey with me!

Why we sponsor Kara? First of all because she loves what she is doing, second because she is a true inspiration for women that want to start mountain biking and/or progress. She is genuine, she shares every little progress and this makes mountain biking reachable to anybody. She is sharing the joy but also the fear. Who couldn’t relate to this? Kara, you are a brilliant and lovely personality and we are damn proud that you are ripping in our gear! ❤ ❤ ❤
love it!
Yes!!
Perfect reply
Yes!! We agree, her and Tom are always so kind and have time for us every time we see them. Couldn’t think of anyone else who deserves the support more 🤟🏼👏🏻
Then sponsor me
To the people that don't get why Kara is sponsored and they are not... Writing insulting comments like that is exactly why nobody would want to sponsor you. Why would a brand want to associate themselves with someone who has a negative attitude towards fellow mountain bikers? A brand wants to sell bikes, and someone like Kara is inspiring people to get into the sport. They see her riding around on her Haibike and aspire to be able to do the same things, and a Haibike will probably be the first brand that comes to mind when they go bike shopping. This is how sponsorship works... you have to bring value and business to the brand sponsoring you. Sam Pilgrim is another great example... he is one of the most positive attitude riders in the MTB industry... that's why sponsors like him. If he went around posting negative comments on people's videos I'm quite sure Canyon would be dragging him in for a stern talking to about damaging their brand reputation and if it happened again he would get dropped. If you want sponsorship learn to be nice first before working on your riding skills. Thank you Kara for your videos. I have been watching your vids on and off since you first started making them with Tom. When it comes to jumps you are definitely more confident in them than me now so great progression 😀 You are inspiring me to catch up 😄
Thank you so much for this comment! 🫶
I just replied a very similar comment, hadn't seen your one yet but you are absolutely right.
Very well said, I do get this comment a lot.
Aside from being a good ambassador for a brand, being a creator and a rider are two very different things.
@@KaraBealit’s a good point, if you can get free bikes and free gear , ( personally I wouldn’t use Muc -off on my bike but that’s just my opinion) then that’s amazing 🤩 well done, all the stuff you get free is so expensive so take all you can get! The sponsors are in a win win and you get the benefit from that 🙌🏼👍🏾
Absolutely, brands do look at potentially sponsors social media, if they find anything negative they will not sponsor that person. I’ve known this to be the case with brands I know.
Kara is a very rare thing in social media, a girl who is not relying on showing skin to get views. For that alone she deserves respect and is a genuine role model particularly for young girls.
My 9 year old daughter loves watching your videos, you are an inspiration to her. A great role model she can look up to and learn from.
That’s really amazing to hear! Thank you ☺️
I've been mountain biking for many years and I can't do half of what you do Kara. Keep on inspiring everyone Kara. Send it !!
At 54 now, I've been riding MTB over 30 years and I'm in awe of what you take on! Maybe if I was a bit younger or braver I might take on more but hat's off to you. You rock and your videos make me want to start getting my wheels off the ground once again 😁 Thanks for your content 👍
That's why many ppl posts a perfect run etc. It is really brave of you to post regardless how good/bad you attempted the jumps. I truly commend you and loads of respect for you Kara. Keep doing what you're doing 💪🏻
Thank you ☺️ I think it’s important to show the successes as well as the fails it is just the reality of learning!
You’re right, remember a while back I said “ even pro riders Bruni, Atherton Brayton Danny Hart etc etc have crashed thousands of times and also at one stage in their lives were not great at mtb but they never gave up , just do you fuck the haters 👊🏽
I love your videos Kara!
I’m a high level Mtn Biker and was just about Pro level BMX when I was younger. I have been in the advertising creative branding and marketing industry for over 30 years. So my pro opinion is:
With every step higher, a brand (meaning you) will increase the haters. So this just means your gaining grounds to reach a larger audience. So as I tell my clients. This is a good thing. Focus on the positive not the Neg’s.
Your amazing and the content is great! I also love watching Van Girl yuka. As she has a great channel of building confidence and dealing with fear etc.
Like some have said,Kara, ignore the haters. They're just jealous. Do what you do. You're doing fine!
Thank you ☺️
Exactly 💯 👍🏾
I have been mountain biking maybe longer than Kara has been alive!! Yet Kara is a total inspiration. I love watching Kara’s progression, it makes me think of Kara can do it, I can learn it to. You don’t get this with Tom and Sam. They are super human. Kara is human, Kara is all of us ordinary MTBers trying to get better.
Do you know what Kara, I remember watching your video where you're doing the Stroganoff line at Woburn a while back. I went there myself with the attitude of "well, if Kara can do it..." But when I got to actually doing the line I think I just about managed the first gap and ended up bottling the rest. That made me realise just how far you've come and just how good you genuinely are at this sport! Keep up the awesome work you're doing!
Same here. Watching Kara working through it and her fear made me give it a go. Hit a tree and still haven't completed the bloody line.
“Listen to the haters, NO” keep doing you 🫶🏽❤
My personal belief on sponsorships like this is not about skill levels at all but what you as an individual and your name bring to the company. You obviously bring a lot of viewers for your sponsors and do it very well. that's the all professional athletes do. Advertise for their sponsor and reap the benefits they bring. So well done KJ and keeping Droppin. I enjoy the content 😊
100% spot on, brands don’t just sponsor people to get a good photo or short video every few months, they are after a good return for their money, and someone who inspires people and puts their product in a good light will alway be at the top of their list.
Absolutely agree - it's about brand...Kara and Tom have nailed it and the continued story through the videos make it even better 👍🏻
I have watched your progress for a few years now and am always inspired by your progress and honesty. So few content makers have the confidence to show when they are scared or intimidated by a line. This is what makes your content so unique. Watching you tackle a line even when you are nervous shows such massive commitment, and how good you have become is a testament to just how committed you are.
Keep on shredding.
You’re progression is amazing & you’re great! Keeping everything so real and inspiring so many! Xx
Thank you so much!!
@@KaraBeal 💖
@KaraBeal 💖
Kara you are an inspiration for all of us ladies who are out there riding so thank you and my boys also think you are awesome, they have met you a couple of times : ) keep riding you are amazing!!
Thanks so much!!
I love this idea for a series, Kara. I enjoy watching your videos because you are real, and you have such a great attitude whether or not you succeed or fail in any particular challenge. That kind of attitude inspires people. Even the way you call out haters is done in a professional, kind way. Keep up the good work on and off the bike!
Having worked for large water sport companies i know for fact they don’t just go sponsor the best people in the sport because sometimes those people are complete A-holes, they would rather sponsor people like Kara because she is the type of person they want to represent their brand, someone that will appreciate the brand who is approachable and inspire other people to take up or stay in the sport so they can sell more products. Kara also has a big social media presence which is now a big marketable plus for sponsors.
If you just complain and cry that no one will sponsor you it may be you have nothing to offer them.
Kara your doing a great job, these people who leave nasty negative comments arnt worth your time or energy thinking about, it's just a reflection on them and there lives, they go through life being negative and hateful, your enjoying what you do and it shows, just scroll down and ignore the negativity from these losers x
For sure you are so right!
Love seeing the progress, watching you conquer your fear inspired me to hit Zut Alors last year, cheers! Haters are just jealous, your progress is great to see.
The progression you have made since you started is absolutely amazing. The internet comments you get are soo sad, glad you are strong enough to ignore them. Keep smashing it 👍
I can never ever understand why some people will go out of their way to put others down ,or get jealous of others success,unless you know the person you will never know how much work they put in to get those sponsors. Keep doing what you do Kara
We don't just watch your channel because you are the best MTB rider, we watch it because we like you and what you are doing. There's some non quantifiable stuff going on that the haters don't understand.
Love your content, it's awesome to see your journey.
I've watched your progression from the beginning and love it, and you get to ride such cool spots! Thank you for inspiring 🤙🏼
Great video Kara!! Love watching your progress!!🎉
It takes a lot of courage putting yourself out there. I always enjoy watching your content and am inspired by your continued determination to progress your skills. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Keep up the great work Kara’ found you and Toms channel during Covid and it helped keep us sane during those dark days,love the content 👍🏻
I find your willingness to share good and bad inspires me to try new things. Found your channel through watching Tom’s incredible tricks, which I’ll probably never get close to! However, seeing you progress encourages me to keep trying. 👍Hope you can keep ignoring the sad haters.
You’re an inspiration dude. Keep up the good work and don’t let anyone get you down. 🤘
Kara, if I were to make a list of all the things I’ve learned from you, it would be too long for this post! But here’s what I admire: your perseverance, courage, diligence, humility, and sense of humour. I have been following you from the early days; your progress is amazing👍. Thank you for sharing your journey and I look forward to more😊
The haters are just ridiculous idiots! Good for you for calling them out! They deserve to be blocked! They are not worthy of notice!
How brutal haters can be. Fair play for being so open and well done on your progression.
Thank you very much!
Love you Kara! Keep inspiring 💕🦄
It’s unfortunate that you have to deal with those comments but at the same time you’re very brave by reading them and exposing them they’re just projecting their own insecurity onto you regardless the progress that you have made is amazing just keep doing what you’re doing and have fun doing which is what is all about.
It's not just your riding that makes your content good, you are very watchable and charismatic. You are also a great roll model for younger female riders. Pls please don't listen to ignorant twerps in choment sections. Keep on shredding
I appreciate that!
your videos rock Kara, I like tour content, you've inspired me to hit some jumps I wouldnt hit before after watchin you get over your fear to do it, haters are just jealous, they suck
I think people forget why brands sponsor people. It’s not because you’re necessarily the best at something, it’s because you represent people and a brand in a light which they want to be associated with. What you do really well Kara, is come across as someone who is loving what they do, working hard to progress and celebrating success. If some of the people in those comments took the time to understand a market, invest the time they spend trolling into working on becoming the sort of person that a brand might endorse, maybe they’d be as successful as you.
Keep having fun and bringing a unique outlook on the sport. That’s why you’re sponsored. That’s why people watch your content. It’s relatable and enjoyable. Not only that, you film and edit the content in such a way that it looks and feels professional - another reason you’re sponsored - representing the brands who endorse you.
You also just seem like a good person and that goes a long way.
Those with the time on their hands to dish out hate should be spending their time working on their personalities so that maybe they’ll be likeable enough to get sponsored too. Not hate, just facts. ❤
Thank you so much for your nice comment! 🫶
Pinkbike is scoring lots of easy views every friday with fails, fails are good, fails are life, fails are necessary to learn 😅
So good! I love it when you laugh at negative comments, makes you shine even brighter and dismisses the haters so well.
You go girl.. love your video..keep it up kara🤘
Wow! I just found your channel recently. I have been recently getting back into mtb'ing after a brutal crash - and several knee surgeries later - had me thinking that I would never be able to ride again. I have overcome those obstacles and I'm stoked to say that I'm back at it once again. I love watching you and Tom tackle gnarly trails, jumps, and whatnot and it motivates me to keep going. I have definitely lost some of my confidence after my accident but it helps to know that I am not the only one that gets intimidated by mtb obstacles but watching you overcome those obstacles inspires me and many others for sure. However, it kills me how cruel and unforgiving people can be on CZcams and other social media platforms and there's never a good reason for it. I suppose it makes them feel better about their failures to point out others? Either way, this is easier said than done but, try your best to ignore the hateful comments and focus on all the good you're doing for others and more importantly, for yourself. Keep your head up, Kara!
Pretty sure is easy from my side to tell you “ignore the haters”, but you should. You do great content. I’m an experienced rider but not that young anymore and you journey is very helpful to me to improve and be aware of my skill. Just keep it going!
Thanks so much!
You shouldn't listen to the haters. You should listen to your bike! And the bike will always tell you that you are sending it!🔥🤘
I love this!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I could talk about this subject forever! It infuriates me soooo bad 😢 It’s so frustrating when people decide to give unsolicited advice to someone they don’t even need and usually after watching one video! I love watching your content and you are such an inspiration to all those young female shredders looking up to you! I am a firm believer in sharing my progression on my Instagram and I think people fail to realise that everyone starts from somewhere. What happened to being kind and supportive, these are the many reasons why women feel so unwelcome in the sport because of nasty and hateful comments. I would love to speak about my views on this as I had a similar experience recently and it’s so upsetting when people have nothing but negative things to say about your riding technique! Keep absolutely smashing it Kara and showing the world your progress and dedication to the sport 🩷🩷🩷
I have been watching your vids for a while now and your progression is inspiring.
The reason why your sponsored is the way you are showing anybody starting mtbing and progress to the level you are at. Your video content takes time and effort. The haters prob don't realise this or just don't get it.
You really are smashing, girl, and LOVE your work 👏 💖
Enjoying your time on the bike is what it's all about Kara regardless, nobody's perfect at everything it's got to be worked at, getting over fears whilst continually gaining experience and confidence. You're doing great, never give up and stuff the armchair critics.
I think you are doing a great job. Just keep having fun.
You are inspiring (period)!!!!
Keep doing what you’re doing! You don’t become amazing overnight and it’s awesome to see the progression. 🤘
Don't listen to the haters Kara I always will watch your videos especially when your with Tom people who write hateful comments are just jealous because they can't do what you're doing don't listen to them God Bless you sending all of my love
Keep going Kara. You’re inspiring a lot of girls to ride MTB. Trust me there’s also lot of guys that can relate to the challenges you keep having a crack at. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at, as long as you’re enjoying it. Keep pedalling gal. 👍
Keep doing what you're doing...I'm now a full year into my MTB journey and after months or frustration with jumping finally cleared the tables at QECP...and that's mostly because of watching you not give up!
Yeah - the haters are jealous, more loss them! If you're ever Southampton/QECP it would be the most amazing hour to ride with you and Tom.
Keep smashing it you legend
That is great to hear! Keep on shredding!
Thanks for keeping it real and relateable, too real for some people to handle though.
I have spent years sticking up for Kara on social media as I just don’t see why people are so quick to throw the hate around. We only get one life so let’s share the positive vibes peeps 🙌🏻
Kara, this is a great video. What you do is great - you're inspiring for women and men! Keep it up, and don't let negative and immature comments get you down. Mountain biking is inclusive - Young; old; fast; slow; novice and experts - it doesn't matter. As for the comments about sponsorship, the comments speak for themselves. If anyone wants to really understand the value of sponsorship, and how you get it - there's a video in that! Hope to catch up soon 👍
Thanks Doddy! Hope to see you soon, would be good to get a ride in!
@@KaraBeal deffo!
Sponsored becuase you are honest, authentic, and inspire people to try, you dont give up and you end every video with something positive to say.
I mean I cant do more stuff than you. but who cares, I'd come ride with you and tom any time just for a laugh. You guys were so nice when I met you and tom to buy your Lapierre. I find it very sad how jealous people can be.
Hang in there Kara and keep doing what you're doing! You're an inspiration to us all!!
Thank you so much!!
end of the day people are jelous keep positive and do your own thing kara you doing good keep up with it
Kara I love your content. Please don’t stop ❤
Thank you! I will keep doing it for sure!
Kara, there will always be haters in this world. Regrettably that's just the way it is. But please just remember that it's the lows that we have to endure that makes us appreciate the highs. Please keep doing what you are doing because believe me you and Tom are a massive inspiration to so many people. Myself included.
ppl just dont understand sponsorship and its so sad because u are promoting such a positive energy in the mtb community! keep up the good work
Keep what you are doing 🎉🎉🎉🎉 it is sick to see your improvement
I started mountain biking less than a year ago. My husband used to be sponsered and is a very good biker but it's comments like you have received that make me really self conscious at bike parks etc. I've seen quite a bit that there seems to be a bit of a '🙄 women riders' attitude
Keep doing what you're doing, you're inspiring the rest of us and don't let anyone put you down for having a sponsor - it's a great achievement!
Don't listen dont let it in your head. We all on our own journey your foing well
People suck! But people also kick butt! Keep on doing what you love to do!
I have a young daughter and it’s videos like yours shows her that she can get involved in mtb you’re a great presenter and seeing your honest progression is great to watch always gonna have jealous haters
Ignore the haters, you’re better than them, they are just insecure and feel better trying to bring someone else down! Keep making content!
I enjoy watching your riding it’s helped me push myself.
You just do what you do and never pretend to be something you’re not.
You’re simply documenting your progress and hopefully encouraging others to have a go.some are born with natural talent,but most of us have to work at it.
The haters will never pick up sponsorships,they’ll never understand what the sponsors are truly looking for…..a positive attitude and a likeable personality!
Keep up the content,it’s good to see the failures and successes.it shows the norm,not just the superstar side of mtb🤙
To be fair I honestly think you've handled this well and that most people are just jealous your sponsored and their not.
People need to realise that Kara isn’t a professional mountain biker that’s sponsored to win races or competitions. She’s a CZcams content creator that’s sponsored for inspiring people to start riding and progress.
If you want to get sponsorship win events or start your own successful CZcams channel. Instead of complaining that someone else has got it.
Let’s be honest with social media these days you can write 1+1=2 and people will argue with you that you are wrong. Lots of keyboard warrior muppets out there.
I’ve enjoyed watching your progress. Seeing someone struggle at a similar level to me is far more interesting than watching pro’s make it look easy. It’s also inspired my other half to take up biking too. I hope to be as good as you at jumping one day. Would love to see you and Tim try BMX at Corby too. It would possibly make Tom seem human on a bike 😂
Its such a shame that haters see someone doing well and cant stand to give a nice comment, just try and ruin the day as best they can, just cruel. haters are the reason i stopped riding bikes for a while a few years back but yours, Tom's and Sam's videos are the main reason i have gotten back into bike riding and all i can say is thank you and keep up the good work, its great to see progression. i am in the next few weeks heading to Twisted Oaks to start learning there, i have taken a few tips on some of the lines 😊
If you are getting haters it just means you’re doing something right
It’s the small minded people who always hate
But you do you
You are inspiring the right people
Uhh does that mean Trump is doing something right? I don't get it.
@@wematanye533 yes
Keep it up. No joke it's inspiring to people just like my wife, I introduced her to MTB when we got married.......just a couple of years later and I literally have trouble keeping up!
And that progress is what it's all about, and as we must remind ourselves.......haters gonna hate
Great video ... ignore the hate and embrace the good...if anyone could do it they would..those who can't bash those who can ... love watching you progress over the years...cheers 🇨🇦
I enjoy your YT videos. I don't bother with other social media - sounds like there's even more jerks on them than YT. Personally I'd just ignore all of the bullies - they have such low self worth that they hate being ignored.
Legend keep smashing it
Basicly the reason we hate on you is because every average kid could get a sponsor if you can
I think your fab, my old mum used to say if you haven’t got any nice to say don’t say anything!!.
That is exactly what mine said too!
Love channel and progress, jealousy is pure evil keep up the good work you and tom rock dad loves to see you when you visit bpw
Love your content, thank you for sharing. It’s such a shame some commenters are kinda moronic. I remember first seeing you on Toms Channel years ago, been watching you and Tom for a long time. I would be interested in the ratio of positive to hate and gender of who commented, just think it would be interesting because MTB was a male dominant sport for many years (It’s much better now female riders are getting more recognition) . I personally love the fact you have sponsors. Keep up the good work.
F!!! The haters. Your improvement is amazing. Stay awesome!
Love u loads x keep doing wot u love x
Keep shredding those berms and yanking those bars .Legend in the making.
If i get more than 2 feet above the ground its a mistake :) so well done on achieving greater height , you are progressing fantastically
Good on you for you showing how it really is. Life isn't always nice and there will always be the jealous keyboard warriors who's only skill is trying to put people down. You are sponsored, they are not - guess who's smiling!
I can pretty much gaurantee nearly all of them don't have the subscribers or views that you have, so who's getting it right and who's getting it wrong.?
CZcams isn't about being the best at everything, it's about providing content that is entertaining, inspiring and engaging. Congratulations on ticking all 3 boxes. Keep doing what you're doing, it's clearly working 😊😊👌👌
You are very brave to sit there and talk about this. Unfortunately you will always get the saddos that have nothing else to do than make horrible comments.
It’s easy for me to say but you have to try and ignore them but obviously it still gets to you.
People don’t realise that CZcamsrs are just normal people just like everyone else.
People who have met you and know you will know that you and Tom are lovely people.
(Still loving the bike 😉)
Don’t listen to the haters, I think your an amazing biker! Keep up the good work 👍
The haters are gross! Try your best to ignore them! Your videos are great and I hope you keep them coming!!! 🍻
The haters are not the true nature of the sport. Back in the 80s/90s everyone used to help each other learn from each other passing skills and tips
Proud of you for doing this vid 🙌. Anyone who is lucky enough to have met you will know what a kind, supportive and positive person you are. You are Always willing to help and offer guidance and advice 🫶. You’ve helped boost my confidence loads ❤. Ignore those low life haters, you got this 🙌🤙
Aww thank you so much! ❤️
Honestly, I don't tolerate hateful comments. Constructive criticism I will take, but when I get hate comments I simply delete them and then block them from viewing my channel. Those people don't deserve my time. They hate because they are not happy with themselves. They do it to make themselves feel better. Also keep in mind most of the negative comments likely come from young dudes who don't know how to be respectful in the world. If I were you, I would stop giving them this sort of attention. Don't give them what they want.
As for why you are sponsored. It's because of what you do and the simple fact you are out there getting people excited about riding. You show the learning process and have evolved a lot since you started. Sponsors want good people who get others excited about riding. It's not always about being the best rider out there.
Your progress has been amazing.
Kara keep up the good work. You genuinely make great content even though there are no backflips (yet). Not everyone can ride like Fabio Wibmer. One thing I would love to see is a "one trick learning series" where you each episode try to learn a new skill and show the progress. Bunnyhop, turnbar, nosebonk, whip, one hander, wheelie, manual, etc. Maybe some skills are harder than others but you could pick out those that are reasonably easy to learn. That would be great to watch. Anyway, thanks for what you are doing and try to ignore them haters.😊
Don’t listen to them there will always be people hating sadly not gunna lie to brands don’t always sponsor people bc there the best of the best them do it to support keep shredding🔥👍
You may not be the best rider out there but at the end of the day everyone starts somewhere and at least your trying, having fun and have the balls to film it to I think that's amazing and it also think it will help millions out there that think about getting into riding bikes but are put off thinking there not good enough maybe the other thing the vids do is show how much progress you make over time , Iam not a good rider but have a good go 😂 it's all about having fun in my eyes.
I enjoy your content. Crack on…. The haters are just jealous ❤
Hi Kara, look at it this way. You could be the greatest rider in the world, and you would still get negativity. There will always be a "how come she gets" element. If it wasn't your abilities, it would be something else. Keep riding, keep having fun, keep inspiring.
i love watching you videos dont worry about what they say
People really don’t know how sponsorship works and why a company would sponsor somebody, pure jealousy! Keep your head up Kara you’re smashing it and you’re 100% inspiring me to ride and push my skills!
Love this! Fancy doing a podcast to discuss further…?
