Myachi Shows

by Crazy Ivan

I'd say that roughly 90% of Myachi You-Tube Videos fall into one of two categories: Shred Videos and Instructional Videos.  Shred videos are collages or single cut shots that feature somebody (or bodies) showing off their Myachi skills.  Instructional videos are usually instructions on tricks, but they can also take the form of instructions on how to break in your Myachi, how to lace your shoes for Myachi or even how to organize your collection.

But my favorite You-Tube videos often fall into that other 10%, the ones that are neither instructional nor demonstrative.  Comedic videos like the classic Dwight Howard video or Monk's classic SackCenter make up a lot of the remaining videos but there's also some other cool stuff.

Many of my favorite videos come from a few of the Myachi You-Tube shows that have cropped up over the years.  The first that I was aware of was a short lived weekly video offering from Caffeine that was a lot of fun while it lasted.  Of course, Caffeine was always a busy dude with a couple dozen irons in the fire so it was tough for him to keep updating his show regularly.

For a while nobody stepped in to fill the void.  A couple of Maniacs would do one episode with the intention of doing more, but for a long time there were no regularly occurring Myachi program on You-Tube.  That is, of course, until Dragon came along.

Dragon had the longest running and highest viewed Myachi Show in You-Tube history, ultimately recording more than 20 episodes.  It was extremely popular in the Myachi movement as he tackled virtually every Myachi related subject known to mankind at one point or another.  He also used his platform to solicit and edit the coolest Myachi collab video YouTube has ever seen:



But like all good things, eventually Dragon's show had to come to a close.  I still check back with his channel from time to time hoping to see another episode of Myachi World, but I also understand better than most what a huge commitment of time and effort it really is to do a weekly show.

Last week, we saw the debut of another promising Myachi You-Tube show.  Everybody's favorite future lacrosse star Myachi Fresh debuted his program to a waiting audience with the promise of doing an episode 3 times a week.  This brutal schedule seemed like a bit of an overreach to me, aiming for new episodes every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

He's three episodes in so far and in his third episode he had the good taste of highly recommending the Myachi Blog, so I figured the least I could do is return the favor.  Despite the fact that he spends the first couple of minutes of the episode with his attention evenly divided between his audience and his game of Gears of War 3, it ends up being mad fun.



I know from the experience of both filming and watching (and blogging for that matter) that it can be tough to keep new, fresh stuff coming in each episode but it looks like even just 3 episodes in, Fresh is already starting to get an idea of how to formulate his show.  I also know from experience that the best motivator on the planet when you're doing stuff like this is your like count.

So if you can spare a few seconds and a few clicks of your mouse, like the video and subscribe to his channel.  With his million dollar smile and a name like "Fresh", you can rest assured that he'll keep it new and interesting.

And if you have or would like to start your own Myachi show on You-Tube, let me know so that we can try to send some traffic your way.
Oh, and for the record, the whole part where he talks about how awesome the Myachi Blog is?  I totally agree.
