This group of YouTubers have made many achievements over the last few years including, hitting 5 million subscribers on the platform. They specialize in motorsports such as motocross, snowcross, drifting, drag racing and many more. They have a large collection of vehicles including dirtbikes, four-wheelers, three-wheelers, trucks, snowmobiles, luxury cars & much more! The group also runs their merch company under the same name and slogan "Life Wide Open" with a wide variety of custom branded high end products. In December of 2025, they launched their premium gear brand "LWO Gear" under the Life Wide Open brand line.

Description

The "C" in CBoys stands for "Cormorant" and the groups motto is "Life Wide Open" [2] [3] The first video posted on the CboysTV YouTube channel was titled “Life of a C-boy”. This video is a montage of the group hanging out, mostly consisting of outdoor content. In 2021 the Group passed 1 million subscribers on YouTube. The group is located in the small lake town of Cormorant, Minnesota. Duke, a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees dog was elected mayor of the town in 2016 with national recognition. Duke is shown on the outro card of every CboysTV video as a nod to their roots.

The CBoys ran into legal trouble in 2019 when they jumped a jet ski from one body of water to another, and again when they were drifting and racing on a lake near Cormorant. The lake incident resulted from a DNR officer seeing a post on the CBoys Instagram account showing the activity. The officer issued a reckless driving ticket. [4] The Minnesota DNR issued two citations, the equivalent of traffic tickets, to Micah Sandman. [5]

Members

In 2020 it was announced that Jake Sherbrooke had left the CBoysTV group to start his own channel. In a video explaining the decision Sherbrooke said that he had left because he felt like he did not have a purpose in the group other than doing dangerous stunts. Sherbrooke wished the group the best and said he was happy for their success. [6] [7] Sherbrooke has gone on to create his own channel amassing 364,000 subscribers as of November 2025. The channel is called "Jake Sherbrooke". As of 2025 there have been crossover videos with Sherbrooke and the CBoysTV. After that a friend of theirs, Evan Sheff, joined the channel.
