I've been playing this game for 6 months now, and yeah, mad appreciation for all the work it takes to do this by yourself. Cheers Andrew, keep up the awesome!
@@IRON_NIC Seeing the house and car for me is just another punch to the gut on top of the beautiful bikes I see on YT... I'd love to have a set-up life like that, poverty is shit
Wow Andrew what a great video! Not only pushing to go out every day but going the extra mile with all the self filming as well is so rad. The quality you guys have in your videos is so consistent. “Any day on two wheels is a good day” - words to live by
This video literally made me feel emotional... it is easy to forget how absolutely important riding, nature, and exposure to the elements are to our mental and physical health. Being stoked on life is always good. The stoke on the day with the first time rider was contagious... I was seriously feeling it. Love you guys, keep inspiring and keep riding.
I just finished my own 7 day challenge. Everything you said was true. It wasn't about Strava and PRs nor was it even about really progressing. It was just about riding my damn bike and being outside. I rode somewhere new each day and rode by myself a few days and with a group on others. It was just what I needed to get really stoked about mountain biking in the winter months.
I am so impressed with you riding in the rain. Usually when it is raining/ wet out and I want make a send with my dirt jumper I get nervous that it is slippery.
Great reminder and video! Terrific mix of shots and motion, kept my eyes glued to it the whole time! I'm 53 with a like minded group of friends who get out there 3 times a week, rain or shine. Some of my best rides have been the ones with the worst weather. I've found if you want an excuse not to ride, there is always one available, and I always have to keep that in mind. Cheers!
my god. The exact same feeling with any outdoor sport (in my case skate). You feel like today is not a good day to ride, find a million excuse and force yourself hard to go and then realize that you would have hated yourself if you missed that session that turned out awesome.
Dude this feeling is so relatable! Sometimes you just gotta drag yourself out of bed, have three mental breakdowns before exiting the car in the pissing rain. But the feeling at the end is it all worth!! On another note you don't know how incredibly blessed you are to have these quality trails available from home!!
YESSSS!! Was so awesome seeing you get after your passion like this roomie! Proud of you :) Let's shred on Sunday (and maybe Monday? Tuesday even? What about Wednesday??) !
I live in one of the rainiest towns in California (avg 60" precipitation per year) and since Summer, we've only had maybe four days of measurable rain. In fact, they're talking of wildfire threat in December! This is *not* normal! Please appreciate all of the rain you're getting up North!
Great inspirational vid, I got my son into mtb riding so when I’m feeling like I don’t want to go he talks me into it every time. I sucks riding alone but sometimes it’s very peaceful.
Honestly so jealous you even have trails that are open and plain rideable without destroying them this time of the year! Kudos for getting out there, don't take it for granted! would rather be super cold and wet riding trails than just imagining riding my bike in the midwest right now.
Day 4 was definitely the best one. There is only one thing better than riding mtb --> Riding MTB with bike buddies. Nice Video, had fun watching it. :)
Days 2 and 3 of new routines (exercise) are always the days I drag myself out...Way to go, as driving to a park to ride early morning must have been though when pulling yourself out of bed.
Man... This video is such a huge motivator and couldn’t come at at a better time. Recently, I’ve been debating doing this w/ my local XC trails as I’ve been making the same excuses and not riding as much. Even longer term though, living in that area has been my dream for most of my life. This video was an awesome push to help keep me motivated during my 2nd last final exam week so I can finally get out there and ride! Thanks Andrew (and the rest of the crew ofc) Mahalo🤟
Ok, this is inspiring. Between Covid and the weather, it's been a long time off the bike. I'm going for a ride after work today, and getting up early this week to ride before work. Thanks for the kick in the pants.
Be very careful on high wind days out in the woods. When out on normal rides and you see a tree snapped in half 40-50 feet up, yup that was the wind. Sometimes they get stuck in the branches of live trees and wind can send them down to the ground like a killer tooth pick. That's where the name widow-maker comes from. Not a day I'd spend much time setting up cameras or staying in on spot for too long.
It is crazy to think that here in Vegas it is literally a complete opposite for everything you said. Right now is our riding season. In the summer you get heat stroke if you go out. It is dry as he🏒🏒 out here and we can’t wait for it to rain. The second it rains the trails get PACKED. Just crazy how different our worlds are😂
Got a new bike last week and I’ve been out 5/7 days this week. Rain or shine. Hell, even did a night ride to avoid an excuse. It’s hard to find motivation but no regrets. Though, the new bike added some motivation.
That's the great part about living in a desert climate, during t he way to warm summer I go and ride in Europe and mostly bike parks, and when I come back it is cold enough to out and ride again all the way up to summer. My season almost enver ends
Sick edit. I was driving down the mountains last SUN on Cypress wondering who this person was going mountain biking in the snow. Nice Subie Crosstrek. Need to a bike rack for ours too.
Love watching this video every month or so when I get into a little bit of a rut when my biking buddies aren't available to ride or work/responsibilities are giving me excuses. Thank you guys for all you do to for this sport. P.S. that ecstasy song is an absolute banger, please add it to your Spotify Playlist! 🤙
Its such a shame how society sucks us away from wanting to go outside and makes us feel like we need to stay inside. But when you get out in nature you realise how good you feel being out in the fresh air surrounded by green and just shredding you bike. ✌
Who else appreciates the extra effort to set up the all those shots by himself and how much time it probably took
I've been playing this game for 6 months now, and yeah, mad appreciation for all the work it takes to do this by yourself. Cheers Andrew, keep up the awesome!
Yes
Passion!
I mean for real it’s one thing to get up and just go ride your bike but to take the time to get shots is amazing
Beautiful shots
Has anyone else noticed how much better this channel’s cinematography & storytelling has gotten?
Yeah it for sure has gotten better recently
Its actually insane how good its gotten
ye. he could have simply chucked a go pro on and left it that but my man took the time to get all the shoots and angles. sick as guys 🤘
Naah, not really. To me it has been amazing since day 1
Yup since day 1.
Because they're ifht films. The best in the business.
Having that kind of riding out your front door is a dream. Mahalo my dudes!
that sponsor segment was the best thing I've ever seen...
These guys are probably living all there fans EXACT dream, that's pretty rare and that's probably why their community is do great
My dude, this was sick! Thanks for taking me out for my first time riding, definitely feeling the itch to get out there and try it again soon 🤙🏼
You must’ve ridden bikes before. Bmx? Noticed you pumping loads. Top effort
That was awesome! Always love to see people new to MTB discovering the pain going up, then stoke of going down
@@TimothyM The more you go the easier the climbing gets. I actually look forward to climbs now.
The quote of the year “ ride your damn bike “
Andrews house has to be at least like 5 million bucks
And that Maserati parked in front of it.. That's great taste and style too!
But he drives a subaru lol
@@IRON_NIC Seeing the house and car for me is just another punch to the gut on top of the beautiful bikes I see on YT... I'd love to have a set-up life like that, poverty is shit
yeah wtf lol vancouvers expensive as hell how does he afford that?
More than 5 mil lol
He’s just chillin out there with the trees fallin
The thing that zaps my motivation in winter is having to clean everything down afterwards. Bike, shoes, clothes, myself. It just take fkn ages.
Those are just excuses bro
Just spray off the bike and throw those dirty clothes in a pile on the floor. Done deal.
8:27 the brakes squeaking is totally in tune with the song haha rad
Wow Andrew what a great video! Not only pushing to go out every day but going the extra mile with all the self filming as well is so rad. The quality you guys have in your videos is so consistent.

Tuning the key of the music to the brakes at 08:25 is chef's kiss
Wait your challenging yourself to ride that every day. You are so lucky.

Awesome vid. I miss Vangcouver so much. And the rain.
got a smile 10 miles wide now. Thanks for the stoke!
YESSSS!! Was so awesome seeing you get after your passion like this roomie! Proud of you :) Let's shred on Sunday (and maybe Monday? Tuesday even? What about Wednesday??)
!
Your video raises my heart rate.Thank you.
The best part is riding your bike! I rode to work for years in van and Calgary. No excuses it's make you a better person and rider
one of the only yt channels which i dont skip thier ads
I live in one of the rainiest towns in California (avg 60" precipitation per year) and since Summer, we've only had maybe four days of measurable rain. In fact, they're talking of wildfire threat in December! This is *not* normal!

Great inspirational vid, I got my son into mtb riding so when I’m feeling like I don’t want to go he talks me into it every time. I sucks riding alone but sometimes it’s very peaceful.
Very inspiring video. Great work I’m on day four of riding and although my body feels a little wrecked, my stoke had is higher than ever.
This made me wanna watch the Costa Rica video again. Winter sads are so real. Glad to see Andrew getting after it.
Such a fantastic video. I get more excited for these releases than any other biking channel videos and I’m never disappointed.
I love the more casual style of video! I could watch this all day
"routine poutine then another lap" yeeew!!!
Just started riding again after a couple months of depression. How is it so damn late that I realized that mountain biking in nature is MEDICINE!
I’m loving this new upload schedule
Honestly so jealous you even have trails that are open and plain rideable without destroying them this time of the year! Kudos for getting out there, don't take it for granted! would rather be super cold and wet riding trails than just imagining riding my bike in the midwest right now.
8:12 brake squeals were in tune with the music
Dude, the last 5 minutes were AWESOME! from the guy's first time on a bike, to your ride from snow, to dry, to rain... LOVE IT!!!
Day 4 was definitely the best one. There is only one thing better than riding mtb --> Riding MTB with bike buddies. Nice Video, had fun watching it. :)
Shredddd the gnar braaaa
BC's riding looks awesome! My dream place to ride.
Guys you're awesome, I'm a French guys who just dream about your trails. The multicolor Crocs at the end killing it Haha
Days 2 and 3 of new routines (exercise) are always the days I drag myself out...Way to go, as driving to a park to ride early morning must have been though when pulling yourself out of bed.
The motivation we all need right now. Thanks Andrew. Mahalo my dudes!

Well done! @4:59 and @5:45 so true!

You guys are the best you do what you luv and just don’t care and you do it with confidence

This channel inspires me everytime I watch a vid lmao

Adding one more comment because it's so good. This might be one of my favourite videos on MMD so far. Nice job dude.
Sometimes I forget how good these guys actually are at mountain biking, Matt's track stand was impressive
This is so good Andrew! Can't wait for more of this stuff. Love you dudes
I try to ride everyday but the fact you carried all your gear to get content is the real appreciation. Lol
This is such a great film man! High quality cinematographic and storyline. Plus, you are a good motivator!
You rock dude. Major inspiration brah!
Andrew, you are a legend

That is so cool my dudes
I live in Calgary, I'm jealous of your winter conditions.
Why isn’t Jason on Mahalo any more? Does he have big fish to fry with Pinkbike?
yep he is hosting the academy on pinkbike yt
Full time at pinkbike I believe
he was probably my fav ngl so really sad not to see him anymore
@@Charliehalterman Yeah same.
@@Charliehalterman Yeah same.
Favourite channel I love Biking
do you own a Maserati? 14:59 love the video 👍🏼🚵🏻♂️
Looks like there's also a Mercedes-AMG C class at 11:09
Man I'm up every morning to shred! Feels better and less crowded! Will never not do this! Feels effin good!
Sick Video
I really love the film style
Sick video dude!🤘
Good Job Andrew!!!!!
Got a new bike last week and I’ve been out 5/7 days this week. Rain or shine. Hell, even did a night ride to avoid an excuse. It’s hard to find motivation but no regrets. Though, the new bike added some motivation.
You’re an inspiration sir!
after this video I have so big will to move in there and shredd the gnar out of those trails ! Sick MAN !
this is just the motivation i need to get back out riding again!
Damn man, to have these trails basically in your backyard. That's the dream🤤
Never before have I appreciated the sound of squeaky brakes. Nice mixing.
Yes Andrew 👏
omg yes, more mt from content!
insane filmwork as always
I didn't know how much i needed this video..
This is one of those vids which makes me want to ride my bike!!!
I wish i had the editing skills this channel does. That would be my super power of choice! 💪🏼
That's the great part about living in a desert climate, during t he way to warm summer I go and ride in Europe and mostly bike parks, and when I come back it is cold enough to out and ride again all the way up to summer. My season almost enver ends
Sick edit. I was driving down the mountains last SUN on Cypress wondering who this person was going mountain biking in the snow. Nice Subie Crosstrek. Need to a bike rack for ours too.
One of my favourite channel! You guys are amazing..
Real MTBr rain,mud,cold,snow doesn't really matter
Huge Like Bro
Love watching this video every month or so when I get into a little bit of a rut when my biking buddies aren't available to ride or work/responsibilities are giving me excuses. Thank you guys for all you do to for this sport.
P.S. that ecstasy song is an absolute banger, please add it to your Spotify Playlist! 🤙
Sadly not available on Spotify!
@@mahalomydude it is! Maybe not in Canada for some reason? I've been listening to it on repeat on my way to the trails the last few days!
Definitely in a slump. Thanks for the encouragement, cheers!
Andrew really made the add entertaining
Super sick. Great vid
2:30
Who remembers this passage from "My first time riding the Northshore
Dude, I really needed this ay
I'm still amazed that Matt went to a 29er...
Even after boldly exclaiming, "Screw you xc, and your 650b!
Lol
The greatest
yeaaa andrew
