Trailforks maintains a directory of the top mountain biking YouTube channels that are focused on riding trails. Channels added to this directory have all of their videos from a specified playlist auto-imported to the Trailforks directory. Videos from these channels can be associated with trails and can receive priority listing when viewing trail videos on the Trailforks website or mobile app. The Trailforks YouTube channel directory creates a great new organic source of video views for YouTubers and is a new way of attracting subscribers! As an added plus, Trailforks' users can benefit from trail beta provided through video content.
If you upload YouTube videos to the Trailforks directory and include a link to a Trailforks trail page in your video description, we will attempt to automatically associate that video with the linked trail. Additionally, videos that contain any link to Trailforks receive priority sorting. Videos that are manually linked to a trail also automatically are connected to your channel profile on Trailforks and will receive a higher sort ranking.
When viewing a YouTube video on Trailforks from a channel in the directory, the channel's information will be displayed, along with other videos from that channel.
If your video doesn't contain a link to a trail page on Trailforks, the video can still be manually associated with a trail via a simple tagging form shown on the video page. You can also link to multiple trails via the manual video linking form, using the start time field to designate when you started a certain trail.
A simpler process is to add the link into your YouTube video description, then refresh the video on Trailforks by following the "refresh videos" link at the bottom of the channel page on Trailforks. In order to access this link, or to edit a channel's details, you must "claim" the channel using your Trailforks/Pinkbike account. Claiming the channel gives you admin access over that channel page.
