Amen to this. It's harder to make friends on linear trails than it is on a jump loop. I love that we can all watch eachother rip, coach and cheer eachother on at the jumps. We have a great scene in our area. Gotta love the jumps, man
02:24 Little fella definitely got the attitude. 😎👍 No seriously, it is pretty amazing to see what children become at an early age when you really nurture them with good experiences. Owen and Milo are jumping higher than I propably ever will (am 40).
If I didn’t go to the local abandoned bmx track and build jumps with my friends I’m not sure what I’d be doing today. I had brain cancer a few years ago but riding bikes and building jumps isn’t gonna stop anytime soon. 😊
I feel the same way, building and riding jumps gave me direction and meaning in life. Glad you're doing better from the brain cancer, that's scary. Keep ripping!!
Super fantastic guys. It's so much fun watching the kids progress. Keep up the fun guys. Our whole family gets psyched when we see a new video pop up. If you guys ever make it towards NY we'd love to ride with ya.
@@PorterMTB Yes stick it on the calendar for next year. Lol. We are hoping to do the same in New England next year. There's a couple smaller bike parks pretty close to us that we are going to try and take the kids to this summer. The little one (who is Owen's age) needs to work on her skills a bit more first before we let her loose with lifts and such. Lol
It is definitely scary starting to actually turn the kids loose a bit in a bike park, I've tried hard to encourage and facilitate slow steady progression and growth with them, but it's hard to hold them back for sure!
@@PorterMTB Yeah I'm sure it's a bit scary to let them loose. You definitely taught Milo and Owen well. Their progression in what feels like a short time is amazing. Our kids are still in the beginning stages. We got them involved in ROOTZ here which is a kids mountain bike club run by a whole ton of volunteers. Kids get split into age/skill groups and they go off once a week learning skills. What a difference. It's fun to see them bring those skills back when we go out riding. I guess the mentors are a better teacher than Dad. Lol.
those jumps are staple of your life and channel Eric and helped made by a legend who is Kelly McGarry its nice that you have his jumps so i guess you can ride with him at home rip love your channel as well are you and the family going to whistler this year as the boys riding has very much improved i can bet they will be showing you new lines and sending it on ride don't slide well may not ride don't slide lol
Yeah the jumps mean a lot to me, we think about Kelly every day! We might actually go to Whistler this year! They will love it there, it really is the best!
Haha yeah I've been to Scotland, it's a different type of rain and dirt for sure! Ecuador will rain hard then be perfect dirt, then rain again, then hot, it's all over the place!
Yo, just went to Kanuga yesterday and had one of those gnarly calf smackers with the pedal. I met some very nice people who were from Miami. I loved it though and had a ton of fun.
When you are making wooden take off, r u shaping them in the way as you would shape a quarterpipe ramp.. I want to make mine, but idk how steep should they be, especially as a beginner. Thank you very much
Yeah it's just like making a quarterpipe! The radius is dependent on the size of the jump and the speed and how steep you want it, but I'd say start small and mellow and go from there! If there are any other jumps you like at a bikepark you try copying them as well.
Great question, for me it's the bike I rode in this video, the Diamondback Release, it's 27.5" with 150mm front travel and 130mm rear travel, it's fun for everything! bit.ly/3MlrJYY
Thanks, glad you like the videos! I use clip in shoes (clipless pedals) for big rides and road riding, and I use flat pedals for riding most of the time and always for dirt jumping.
Thanks! I'm not sure, I haven't listed anything on a site for a while, I'm curious to try Sendy, it's an app for doing that and it's started by Cam Zink and Travis Rice, but I haven't used it yet. Otherwise your local classifieds or Pinkbike Classified might be the best choice.
Hey! That's awesome you're riding, just keep having fun and pick one thing to work on each day. The best thing you can do is always keep in fun and work on slowly improving, there's no rush. Set your goals just a little bit beyond where you're at now, so they are attainable.

I love they way you parent! Always complementing them. Milo and Owen are Shredders! Keep it up!
Thanks, I put a lot of effort into trying to support them and keep it fun, seems to be working so far!
@@PorterMTByour doing an amazing job Eric! They are doing better than I could imagine!
dirt jumps are the highlight of my life
Facts
Me too!
It’s probs the highest you’ve been by jumping
I ride trails tacky ones😊

That's a good point, easy to not see anyone on a trail ride, but jumps definitely bring everyone together to build and ride!
Thanks for all your family friendly positive videos! My kids and I love watching and getting stoked to session our little pump track.
I love hearing that!! Have fun out there with the kids, glad you enjoy the vids!
Mate you are so lucky that you can do awesome stuff with your family
Awesome video. I love the way your children are progressing and learning about trail maintenance also. Pedal safe
Thanks! They are doing great, really cool to see. I agree that it's important to teach everyone about maintenance and building!
love your videos
Thanks, that means a lot!!
Every time I go to a DJ Park I always meet awesome people! The MTB community is sick! 🤘
I'm glad you have the same experience, it really is the best community!
THOSE YOUNG MEN NEED THEIR PILOTS LICENSES FOR FLYING BIKES THAT HIGH 👍always family Awesomeness 🚲
Haha seriously, thanks Todd!

That's so awesome to hear, thanks!! I'd love to get the family out to the NE to ride, there are so many fun bikeparks and trails, maybe next year??

Man, dirt jumps are something else, they are the best
They really are the best, so much fun!
My bike broke 1 year ago and I dont have enough to by one so I just watch you guys and I wish one day I can ride cool jumps like those.
Dang that sucks, hope you can get it fixed or get a new one soon!

Sick video keep up the good work!
Thanks, I will, more fun vids coming!
I'm getting a dirt jumper for my birthday and I so ready to ride dirt jumps
That's incredible, such a good birthday present!
0:58 'British weather be like💀...'
Haha yeah you guys get some serious rain!
It’s always a good day when Eric uploads
Love hearing that, more good vids on the way!
Dirt jumps are the death of my life
Haha that sounds terrible, maybe dial it back and start at the beginning again? They are so fun!
This is awesome 👌
Well done
That looks like an awesome park! I think I’ll go for a ride today!
It's a really fun park. I'm gonna ride to day too, have fun!
@@PorterMTB Do you still get to ride just for fun, or does every ride feel like "work" ?
i like the doggo there
Irish weather is the same except it is cold and then rains for the rest of the day 😂
Haha yeah I've been to Scotland, it's a different type of rain and dirt for sure! Ecuador will rain hard then be perfect dirt, then rain again, then hot, it's all over the place!
So awesome keep up the great content
Thanks, glad you like it!
Love the content great video!
Thanks!!
Lucky Kids, and also Lucky Dad.
I love you guy your such a cool family
NEW UPLOAD WOOOO
Hope you like it, have a great day!
you guys should come on down to Melbourne FL for grape fruit trails there great
I'll try to check that out!
This is the mountain biker version of “hip hop saved my life.”
Haha pretty much, bikes really did make my entire life!
I wish I had a local place like that
They are really lucky, it's a great spot!
What’s up guys hope your having an awesome day
What's up! We're having a great day, heading out for a ride now, hope you have a good one too!
Yo, just went to Kanuga yesterday and had one of those gnarly calf smackers with the pedal. I met some very nice people who were from Miami. I loved it though and had a ton of fun.
Ouch... I've had some nasty cuts on the back of my calf, and shin, from pedals! Glad to hear the crew was awesome though, we love riding Kanuga!
@@PorterMTB yep, it is so much fun.
As an Ecuadorian i can consider u as a fellow ecuadorian))
Great video
Thanks! Have a great day!
this is so cool👍
Muito top esse bike Park 👏👏👏👏👏
É muito divertido!
what bike dose milo have
He's riding a Diamondback Release 5C, linked here! bit.ly/3MlrJYY
You should try out Trysil Norway I no its a long way but it’s really worth it
I would love to! I've ridden Hafjell Bike Park in Norway, it was really fun, I'd love to go back!
When you are making wooden take off, r u shaping them in the way as you would shape a quarterpipe ramp.. I want to make mine, but idk how steep should they be, especially as a beginner. Thank you very much

only if i had the guts to send jumps like that i have the skill for it but just need some learning or helo with sending it.
You'll have the guts when the skills are ready, just keep slowly working your way up, don't just go straight for the hard scary stuff, you got this!
Hi Eric, i'm just wondering if you could only have one bike what would it be?
Great question, for me it's the bike I rode in this video, the Diamondback Release, it's 27.5" with 150mm front travel and 130mm rear travel, it's fun for everything!
bit.ly/3MlrJYY
What is the best full suspension mountain bike for a teenager
I do down hill mountain and trail
Hard to say, but I think a 130-150mm travel 27.5" wheel bike would be great for everything, that's what I'm usually riding!
Super❤❤ grate rider❤❤❤❤ लोव from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks! All the best to India!
@@PorterMTB ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🚴🚴🚴
love your videos!
If you read this comment, do you have any suggestions to make my bunny-hop better?
Hey Eric do you have clip in shoes? I am a big fan of you and Seth channel too.
Thanks, glad you like the videos! I use clip in shoes (clipless pedals) for big rides and road riding, and I use flat pedals for riding most of the time and always for dirt jumping.
lovely
YOO YOU'RE THAT GUY FROM THAT THING!!
Thanks!! 👊
Great video porter, looking to sell my bike for a better one, what website do you recommend I sell on?
Thanks! I'm not sure, I haven't listed anything on a site for a while, I'm curious to try Sendy, it's an app for doing that and it's started by Cam Zink and Travis Rice, but I haven't used it yet. Otherwise your local classifieds or Pinkbike Classified might be the best choice.
