I love when hikers tell me they have been hiking the trail for years and years until I remind them that our local mountain bike association built and maintains them 😂😂😂
Lol
This, the trail wouldn’t fucking be there without the mountain bikers.
@@RealMTBAddict
I mean I've seen them put shit in the middle of the trail to slow down and stop mountain bikers does that count?
Lmao 🤣
Beginning of the year been for ride with new 1 week old bike when I encounter barb wire on trail, carbon frame scratched on few places, bend RD and hanger, bruised my knee and back.
@@bdpersha yes 😂
"Get out of here with your motorcycle!" at the end cracked me up. 😂
Except when I register my actual motorcycle that money goes to the state so they can pay for the maintenance of those trails.
4:02
Lmao that cracked me up as well 😅
as an ebike owner this mad eme laugh my ass of 😂
Mountain Bikers will never know the exhilaration of finding "another tree!"
In her defence the first tree was a birch,the second was a sicamore..
That horse shit is gold dust to that Forrest.
Dont smoke trees smoke budd.
@@RealMTBAddict Tell a hippie to hug a tree while I burn one...
The way I ride I’m always finding trees
The oldest conflict in MTB history.
Indeed 🤘
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO that’s why I only ride park.
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO where where the off road runners
no its us with roadies
@@malistraja5944 on the trail it’s hikers and off the trail it’s roadies.
Once the horse showed up, I couldn't stop laughing and crying. 😂
Love the reference to half baked!!! I laughed tears also. "Ambulance now! Officer down! This horse is a diabetic!!! Buttercup don´t you leave me! Whyyy"
“Speaking of drugs, your man looks like he’s trippin balls” that killed me💀
“The things that unite us, like beer” 😂
Your parents are adorable dude hahaha
🤘
I absolutely despise horses. Not only do they poop everywhere, they actually do mess up the trails with their hoofs.
One tried to charge me because I was on my bike so I hate them when on a bike
Especially when you find a group of horses on a trail with multiple signs saying no horses, just about every time I pass a horse (I try to let them know a bit before and I’ll pass far and slow around as to not spook the horse) they’ll give me some dirty look like I’ve committed a crime, sometimes leaving a comment
Exactly why they have separate trails. The bridal trails around me are so tore up from hooves it's really not even worth to hike on if you dont have rubber boots on. Even then it would be slow
where i ride horse poop has become a feature to jump above on the trails
I despise ebikers. Vermin of the earth with no skills.
I love how cyclists are criticized for riding side by side, but hikers feel entitled to walk four abreast across the trails, blocking runners, bicycles, or anyone walking faster than them.
Great video as always!
And they act totally shocked that somebody might actually PASS them.
@@RealMTBAddict Honestly, It only takes 1 hiker with 2 walking sticks to hog an 8-10' wide trail...had it happen, and even got yelled at for speeding around the guy because I didn't call out "on your left"...no reason to call out on a wide double track.
@@phillk6751 I usually call out or ring my bell anyway, because I've had hikers yell at me too. Usually they're so absorbed in what they are doing that they don't hear you coming, and it scares the crap out of them if you just pass without a warning.
@@phillk6751Sorry, you were being the asshole in that scenario. Get a bell and always use it to announce your presence.
@@gatoryak7332 actually i should have pulled out an air horn and given the dipshit a fucking heart attack for hogging the trail...but he got lucky
Lol. The way she jumps off the trail as the mtbers stop- priceless. I’ve seen that overreaction so many times. I’m a real polite mtber on the trails to everyone, but especially hikers, cause I want us to be able to get more access to trails and also not lose any that we have. Plus I truly believe in multiuse- if we’re all considerate there is no reason we can’t all share the trails and have access to our outdoors. And I figure every hiker I can leave who says, “you know, those mtbers are pretty nice people,” L is an ally in our quest for access. So I go real slow, or stop, and sometimes even chit chat a bit. And most are cool. But every once in a while you get one of those people with their personal bias they can’t let go of that has to make this exaggerated show of shock and fright. Lmao. I love it when they are on a trail either built or maintained by a mtb org- I enjoy chatting with them a bit and casually dropping that in the convo and letting them know they are on OUR trail- in a real nice way. But for sure the piece de resistance are the people with headphones in their ears who don’t hear my bell or my shouting and then get indignant. I wanna punch them in the face. 👊
That's why I only use one and at a lower volume. Can hear the music and everything around me perfectly, but since I'm still learning how to ride decently, I'm going slow, but people still react like I'm going at 230 kph
I see that reaction all the time when I ring my bell or call out, even though I slow down and give them plenty of room. I don't always make it, but I try to go early in the morning when there are fewer people on the trail, and since I'm retired now I can go on weekdays instead of Saturday and Sunday when it's busy.
I've seen that reaction, too. Weird, though, it never happens when I ride solo and I ding my bell. Usually, the hikers smile and often they thank me for using the bell.
@@gatoryak7332 Yeah, because a solo biker is a lot less threatening than a pack.
Why doesn't the community make separate trails for both uses, they can exist in the same forest and even criss cross, just put up a few signs. That is the standard in my country
Yes, that was my parents playing the hikers! Now y'all know where I get my acting chops from!

Also, sorry but my promotion code for HandUp does not apply to these gloves as they are designed to raise money for our local trails. Just an FYI 🤘
One time a lady was walking in the middle of the trail so I slowed down, said excuse me a few times and then one loud HELLO. She gasped and said OMG really?!. Lady, you are walking in the middle of the trail with headphones turned up so loud a tractor could have run you over!!! People sometimes.
People tend to blast their ears out with headphones during a hike, bike, run etc... to help them "kill the time". Kind of demonstrates they're not getting the point.
That's like tourists on the bike path of the Brooklyn Bridge....
I really do not understand why someone would want to blast music into their ears when they're "enjoying nature". I've had the same thing happen, yelling and finally just passed them and of course their 'startled'. Ridiculous.
@@jeffp5418 Happens quite a bit where I ride, very annoying.
People...MOST of the time haha
I can relate. I’m a hiker and a mountain biker so this is so accurate
Yep
Thanks e-bikers for bringing others users together 🤣
All it needed was them beating up a roadie in the end :D
no no, the new "industry favorite term", the gravel bikers
Just wave a sheet of cardboard, terrifies them
@@cornishcactus Uhhh actually her arm hit him causing his bars to turn which led to him crashing. I'm not a fan of roadies either, but let's not be an asshole for no reason lol ; )
@@meganNefarious 'ang on, beating them up is fine but waving cardboard is taking it too far?
Heeeey don’t hate on roadies:( I’m a hybrid as I only have two trail systems that I can get to within 30 minutes so I’ve found pleasure in riding both, I can see why people love both sides of the biking spectrum.... but gravel oh my 😂
The ending..."is this the way up" 🤣
So Bobo has recruited the entire family for his shenanigans. Well done sir.
" Your LOUD HUBS ! " ~ Guilty as charge here. LOL !! Love the skits Bobo !
Onyx hubs, stealthy lol
If hubs were loud there would be few conflicts because hikers would hear us coming. mtbbell.com
@@bigzeromike I got a new bike recently and it has loud hubs (old ones were silent) and it drive me insane. Thanks for making me realize the one upside though, I don't need a bell.
@@kevindonahue2251 You completely missed my point. Hubs are NOT loud like a bell and, more importantly, the tone of their noise is nothing like a bell. A bell is designed to make noise to attract attention. No so for the hub. You and all the other riders that think everyone can hear their hubs are part of the growing problem with negative trail interactions between hikers and bikers. But, the fact that your hubs drive you insane surely tells me you'd be one of the guys that couldn't stand the noise of a bell so you and the "generation of me" that can't think of anyone but themselves will continue to be part of the problem.
But, if you are looking for a benefit... we all bitch and moan about hikers being in the way and blowing our flow. In the two years I've been riding with a Timber Bell it is rare when hikers don't yield to me. They yield not because they hear my hubs, which is foolish think they could be heard, but because they hear my bell. That's a real benefit I'll take every day of the week. Because I put the whole of mountain biking above my own desires.
You know you truly made it when your a mountain biker and sponsored by a beer company
These fights get more political than any elections
Some friends and I had a run in with some Sierra Club trail nazis once. They actually ran to try and catch us at the parking area, claiming they owned the trail we were on. We had a "nice" little discussion and I explained that according to the rangers and the rules at the trailhead, we were in our rights to ride. The sign up card had listed activities as; Hiking, Backpacking, Horseback riding, and OTHER as choices. I explained plainly that we were doing OTHER.
wtf nonsense did you just post?
@@vincentdeluccio5464 you are one angry trail nazi
@@vincentdeluccio5464 he was talking about a run-in with some bike-hating nazis like yourself. It's crazy how many of you there are out there. if you could learn to share, we'd all be better off
You ride in Marin too?!!!
@@cLab2022 your are an entitled snob destroying the sport and the reason why people hate mtbs.
I met an E-MTB'er yesterday, (by met I mean he flew by past me on the uphill) and I realized I hate e-bikes.
My friend has an e-bike. He allowed me to use it once. When I passed dudes on regular MTB's I offered a few of them some help. 1 accepted, the others looked at me, and kept riding up. I do need to borrow the e-bike more often, since I'm still learning how to ride decently
That's other video 😁
you’re pissed
relatable
As always, spot on! The horse rider was a nice touch :) Glad you got sponsored for this, your videos are always cleverly shot but you can see the added value (like getting a horse) when you get sponsorship. Keep up the great work. You just made my morning in a thankless job so much better. Cheers
I'm convinced that guy was actually high on a mushroom trip while filming! His acting was way too spot on!! I laughed so hard I almost started tripping.
Thats the longest beer advert i ever saw
Oh my god that was funny. E bikes are the common enemy to mankind. Last Wednesday I was on a one way downhill trail and luckily I saw two people walking up towards me and stopped. It was two women in their 50’s and they said that I should have a bell on my bike. I asked if they needed glasses because they obviously couldn’t have seen the large sign at the bottom of the trail right by the exit that says bikes only and do not enter. They gave me the same look like you gave the e biker. Maybe I should have offered them a beer??? Great video Bobo.
The production value is crazy on this 😂
Tripping balls 🤣🤣🤣
Young guns “ anyone see those chickens “ 😵💫🤣🤣
BoBo you absolutely hit this one out of the park. Fantastic as always man! Keep up the great work.
So AWESOME!!!!!! Congratulations on the new support from the Beer company. Great video and the quality of it was so good. Dude that looked like something we would see on a TV show. Legit stuff
This is one of the best mtb vids I’ve seen in a while! This is amazing.
If there ever was a "well that escalated quickly" this is it rofl awesome work :)
One time there was a lady and some guy on a downhill bike park trail and literally a couple of us jumped over them.
Bobo, that was hands down the best Segway into the sponsor of the video I've ever seen! You're already my favorite Pro MTB'er and you're on your way to being my favorite TH-camr! I love the creative content!
Nice! Was a federal park ranger at 3 different places & never heard the end of user conflict issues. This is spot on brother. Cheers! ✌️
As a proud E-Bike owner, I fully endorse and loved this vid!!
get outta here eeeebr
@@bermchasin See ya at the top! 🤙
gtfo with your motorcycle :)
Cheater!😆 In all the seriousness, I did have an e-bike. For.... about three months. I've sold it and I'm done with them. They're the thing of the past for me. I have a regular cheap bike that works just fine for my needs and I have a moped.
Super Troopers reference and that seque to the beers was great 😃
man, that's a hell of a great video you made there. Funny, professional, entertaining, high polished in terms of edit quality. Way to go mate.
Thanks dude 🤘
I've delt with hikers/walkers in one park in particular. Some walkers also had off leash dogs and were pissed off even though I use a bell to notify any other riders. One lady said that I shouldn't be on the trail. I let her know that the trail was clearly marked at each trail crossing and that it was mountain bikers that actually made all the trails and did all the maintenance
Horse people are a mixed bag, some tell you your destroying the trails and spooking the horses, others give you space as long as you give them space.
Now they don't belong all over the place, but just take it easy around them no matter how much in the wrong they are.
OMG this video is hilarious and so well made!!
This was hilarious from start to finish! Great work on this video!
this is the best YT sponsor'd video I have ever seen!
Awesome everyone should enjoy all the trails
this was one of your funniest!
Awesome. One of the best yet.
This is by far the most hilarious (and professional) video you have ever done. I LOLed several times and Norm was magical. And did you buy a red camera?!?!
No, I worked with a very talented Cinimatographer on this one and we used her camera 🤘
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO Well it looks so good. There was even a moment where I thought that you might have green screened because the lighting was so perfect and there was so much bokeh. Visuals aside, the writing on this was absolutely hilarious
@@nofrontbrakes thanks buddy
As a hiker and a biker - I try to be best of both worlds 😂
Bro you are really out doing yourself with these last few edits... man some of the best on youtube
how have i been sleeping on this channel?! so funny and so real!
Troy!!! Woo! Hand Up Gloves!!! WOO!!
Woo 🤘
we had a good time with this one! Bobo killed it, as always
“Noisy hubs” like she knows what a hub is 😂
She does have a point there though. ;)
This is boomer facebook gold, but it is damn funny and the production is top tier.
Best one yet, this is gold
Great video. Pokes fun at a important issue. I passed it along to my advisory group at Oregon State University's McDonald-Dunn Research Forests. The McDonald-Dunn has an excellent series of multi-use gravel roads and trails that are used by hikers, dog walkers (lots of them, and no leashes required), families, bikers of all kinds, and equestrians, like me. For the most part, everyone gets along. We use the right-of-way method where hikers and bikers yield to horses, bikers yield to hikers, and everyone yields to motorized vehicles (it is a working forest, so occasionally there are slow-moving trucks on the gravel roads). However, few people seem to know the etiquette. It is my strong belief that if we all just talk to each other (nicely), e.g., "Hi there! Just wanted you to know there's a horse behind you," we could avoid a lot of conflict. I used to get mad and lecture people. It might work, but it makes everyone involved feel bad. Talking nicely to each other is much better. I hope all of you who are writing these comments are also thinking about how we can make multi-use trails more comfortable for all users. For me, I had to change my own behavior. And just for the record... Yes, it's true that these days many trails are built and maintained by mountain bikers. But many existing trails, especially in National Forests and State Parks (in Oregon, anyway) were built by equestrians. But does it matter who built them if they are multi-use trails?
Wow. Knocked it out of the park with this one. No question! So gooooood.
Honestly one of my favorite videos of yours
Came here for the cooking, after watching your comical ebike video elsewhere.... fantastically entertaining and professional.
This video is bokehlicious, love the cinematography
hey thanks! :)
I have a jump trail that’s connected to the hiking trails so sometime clueless hikers walk onto the jump trail
Nailed it!! Nice one man. Very well done. So true!!
This is a great beer commercial.
Why is this the funniest thing ever? And big fax for everything that was said in this video. Also who else hates hiking now because they started biking? Because I want to be on my bike the whole time I’m hiking and it drives me nuts😂
I look for the best "line" and features the whole time I'm hiking. My family thinks I'm nuts.
@@chrisgreen5000 yep that’s exactly why it drives me nuts cuz I’m like oh my gosh I wish I was riding down thay
2:27 "Mom, don't look at the camera"
I thought Norm was gonna run off and get himself a bike, then the horse showed up... This has been my favorite sketch so far, loved it!
Definitely one of your best! So relatable, even in the UK!
The speech I get everyday "You mountain bikers terrorize these trails! I've been hiking here for years and enjoying it up until ten years ago when you bikers came and ruined the experience for everyone but yourselves. You destroy the trails and try to kill us flying down the trail two feet away from us!" One thing I've learned is all hikers say the exact same thing.
Only if you ride like a douche. The hikers that I encounter are friendly and supportive. But I'm not a douche.
The ebike scene hurt deeply...
I'd rather get passed by 9000 ebikes than have to share the trail with 1 horse.
@@SomeIdiot983 Agree 100% I've never met an ebiker who shit all over the trail and tried to bite my gf while we rode by.
@@kevindonahue2251 have you ever actually met an e biker?
Same - electric mountain board scene.
the production quality on this one is crazy
Your videos keep getting better
Nice work
I can relate to this when you ran in the hikers also how did you manage to get a horse? Awesome vid btw
I got a horse guy lol
You forgot the noisiest and smelliest lot... The Moto riders.
So glad that around here mtb trails are just that. If you want to hike them fine but you have to go in the opposite direct and the right of way always goes to the rider.
Funny video! When she said "Look, another tree" I cracked up.
The end though🤣
Love the skits bro. When are we going to see you ride some single track or some park again ?
Some day down the road. I’m trying this for now but yeah, definitely gonna bring back the vlogs, just stay with me 🤘
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO I ain’t going anywhere .Just miss all the trail/park shenanigans that’s all
This has been my life for the past 25 years. So perfect! Long live the mountain bikers!
Fuck yeah dude. Your videos are getting sooooo good!!! Props to whoever pulled the focus on the opening shot.
Beer? What about hunting for shrooms or passing around a blunt.
Lol, I call that: Saturday
That's what the old dude was doing
I'm not sure you should have given Norm that beer.
Second time here.. I love your videos dude! Hilarious, plus gives motivation for me to get on the trail!
I thought that was troy when he rolled up hahah! Awesome video as always Bobo!
Bobo looks great, like he’s 15 years younger
And who of these will show up for the trail days?
Good job to Deborah, George, you, and the other people I don't know but I watched this with Deborah at the pool and I love it! Good job and I miss you!
-Cheyanne Hull
Dang. You wrote, filmed, and published this in a week? Dude this was so creative! The camera work and the picture quality is up there man. Killing it bro!
Thanks buddy 🤘
Big shout out to Wicked Weed marketing team for their videography (and beer!)
This one may have been a good one to keep at 4:20
Gunna have to add one wheelers in there eventually lol you can straight rip on those things 🤙
That was brilliant! (also glad to hear the pupper is doing okay)
As a MTBer I'm always very aware of my surroundings and slow down when I see people walking. I'm not out to impress people. I'm just here for the same reason hikers are there. Enjoying nature.
This should be the 'Welcome to Asheville' video
Y'all means all, and by that I mean Alla y'all better get outta here 😂😂😂🍄
"F*** e-bikes, ammiright" 🤣
(I have e-MTB...😐)
Fantastic mate
ohh man, that was awesome bobo, awesome content and editing man
Lucky you never encountered a Karen on the trails
Oh, this is totally based on true events actually lol
@@RealMTBAddict Should we call them Kens? lol
To holesum I'm going to puke 🤮🤢🤢🤢 lol...love the message man keep up the good work
She said"with your loud hubs.". That was funny
Love it! Your besten Video so far.
🤘
it's always old people in my experience, you are more than welcome to walk on the trails but don't give me shit for riding trails my local bike group has maintained for years.
