In Tennessee, I pick up trash thrown on my farm all the time. When we took a trip out west, I not only didn’t see one piece of trash, I ran into a guy on a motorcycle with a chainsaw clearing a public trail for others. Love that mentality!
Not to put people down from the western part of the US but at my local jump spot I’ve probably brought 5 garbage bags in the last half a year and filled all of them with stuff people leave out there
I love seeing you teach your kids to maintain trails! Where I live, there are very few people volunteering to help and most of them are older guys. Great seeing that there will be younger ones to keep it going.
Just found this while looking for chainsaw trail clearing vids. Nicely done Dad. I've cleared trail with chainsaw too. It's a great feeling knowing you likely saved someone from getting hurt. Thanks for vid.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I love using my chainsaw as much as possible haha! Still get a great feeling of accomplishment every time I ride that trail!
Thanks for doing that clean-up! We tried to stay behind you, but those trees kept you from being ahead of us! It was a lot of "hike a bike." Heading out again tomorrow to admire your handiwork!
The vibe of your videos is awesome!! Everything is chill, fun, there's stuff to learn, and the scenery is super. I think I'd love this any time but in 2020, it heals my soul. Have fun, Porters!
Thank you for your service! That's hard work and a heavy load. My kids IMMEDIATELY wanted to ride the Wow trail. We happen to be in Midway later this week and plan to ride it on Thursday, to check out your handiwork. :)
Thanks for taking the time to say hello to my son and I yesterday. That’s one thing I like about your videos. You include your kids. Keep up the good work!
Happy birthday Eric! I rode the Wow last week and did what I could, but it wasn’t much without a chainsaw. Thanks for all your work on the trail, and the fun videos. Hope the rain yesterday helped the trails. John
Thanks! We already need more rain, can't believe how dry it's been this year. The trail could use some dirt work in spots, but it's useless without water.
Thanks for your hard work. Your kids are very well mannered, you're raising them well! I rode this trail for the first time a few days ago and love it! It's too bad the fallen trees couldn't be used for optional skinnys/logrides but I understand that's not what WOW is for.
That's awesome! It's a really fun trail, I would love to make features out of that wood too! More fun trails coming in that zone in the future, check out wasatchtrails.org to stay up to date and support if you can!
Hey dude! I’m sorry I’m a bit late to say happy birthday but hopefully u had a great one! I’ve been loving your videos and your the one who inspired me to build and ride dirt jumps. One day I wish I could come see u but I’m in Australia :( but that doesn’t stop me from loving ur videos. I hope your kids grow up to be like you and I hope ur jumps are staying up great. Big fan- oli
“It actually matches my bike that’s pretty sick” Eric porter 2020 happy birthday man! It matches so I guess it his kinda handy dandy to just keep a chainsaw on you. Soon enough someone is gonna invent a pocket chainsaw for u!
Some parts of the trail are pretty beat up with brake check bumps, and I think you’re right, not much we can do till we get more rain. But right now with the colors going off and your work, still I think the best trail we have in the area. I loved all the pine needles on the trail, it felt like some sort of Christmas ride. Take care, John
So great to see you teaching your kids how to give back and spend quality time with them also. don't know why there are haters on the channel but keep up the great work in riding and raising boys! I have 2 grown up of my own that I get to still ride with.
Pretty cool, man. Showing the kids that their efforts benefit everyone. Some side line jumps would be a fun addition to that trail. :) The same for some features. Something progressive to learn on.
Awesome! I will occasional throw a dewalt recip saw in my trail pack if I think there may be some stuff that needs cutting out, but I have yet to work all the way up to the full chainsaw. Well done!
I love it how u don’t care how big the tree is and I love all your amazing videos on the back yard jumps and my favourite one is the water slide it would mean the world to me if u gave me a shout out in one of your back yard trail vid because I love kickers and cruising threw pump track thx so much for the content and keep it up
Hey what's up! I love using the chainsaw, it's a great tool. The waterslides are really fun too, can't wait till the snow melts so we can ride them again!
This channel has been my best new follow this year! Exactly the kind of wholesome content I need during COVID-19. I just love seeing a dad spending quality time with his kids.
Glad to see your kids riding a hardtail. I think it’s best to grow up on a hardtail until late high school because it makes you a better rider and forces you to pick better lines
Eric you look like such a great dad bringing your kids with you and including them, just make sure you don't leave them early because of your profession
We lost a tree in our local trail system about a month and a half ago I live in this small town where the little jump trail is all we have and it’s not like we have anything to ride it’s a double two pump roller into a burm that you couldn’t ride before and then it loops back to the start
I’m not sure how many more awesome things you can cram into one video, Eric!
Yea
Haha yes!
Seth
Come on Seth, catch up 😂.
Seth buddy
You complimented your kids more times in this one video than my parents did in my whole life. 10/10 parenting!

Shredding With Sean There will always be those that don’t respect nature, at least you are doing your part.
I know what you're talking about, I grew up in Kentucky. It would be nice if everyone could pick up after themselves! Haha
Eric, you rock. I spent a few days cleaning up trees after the storm also, not on trails though.
Yeah that was a crazy storm wasn't it?? Hope you didn't have any property damage.
Totally awesome!! I like that you’re teaching your boys to take care of their trails!!!!
Thanks! Yeah I'm trying to let them know they can't take trails for granted, we have to all help!
Another awesome video being a great dad and showing your kids how great it is to help the community out. Happy birthday!!
Thank you for helping maintain the trails! I LOVE the WOW trail and can't wait to ride it again.
I applaud you Eric, this guy is biking with a 50 pound chainsaw on his birthday to help clear fallen trees, happy birthday!!
I love seeing you teach your kids to maintain trails! Where I live, there are very few people volunteering to help and most of them are older guys. Great seeing that there will be younger ones to keep it going.

Happy Belated Birthday! I am glad everyone is safe. Keep up the great work on and off the trail.
Thanks Eric, you're an awesome trail ambassador .
Thanks! I hope to inspire more people to help with trails!
Thanks for doing that clean-up! We tried to stay behind you, but those trees kept you from being ahead of us! It was a lot of "hike a bike." Heading out again tomorrow to admire your handiwork!
Eric my boys and I love watching your videos. They look forward to them every week. Thanks for the great example as a dad and trail steward.
Well happy birthday and great work on those trails
The vibe of your videos is awesome!! Everything is chill, fun, there's stuff to learn, and the scenery is super. I think I'd love this any time but in 2020, it heals my soul. Have fun, Porters!
Thanks Eric. Much appreciation for all that hard work. Your family is rad too. Such great attitudes. That storm was insane!
I just biked the WOW yesterday and it was beautiful. Thanks for all your work maintaining it!
That's awesome! happy to help!

Great to meet you guys! It's been really fun including my kids in these videos, they are loving it!
Awesome. The Wow trail is one of the best in the Wasatch! Thank you for doing some good and showing an awesome example!

Skills. ..trail maintenance and tree clearing is hard work. Kudos.
Thanks for the chain saw run down. Used my electric one for months not know bar oil existed, it’s helpful stuff.
Another sick video once again eric! Good to see your exposing your kids to trail-building and the outdoors nice and early on!
Very cool that you help clearing up the trails!
“It actually matches my bike that’s pretty sick” Eric porter 2020 happy birthday man! It matches so I guess it his kinda handy dandy to just keep a chainsaw on you. Soon enough someone is gonna invent a pocket chainsaw for u!
that is a thing, its a chain saw blade seth has on his channel
@@nickrusso5058 it's shit mate
I would love to check out a small battery operated saw, this was a huge job though and needed the big dog!
Thanks so much! The WoW trail is awesome, I hadnt ridden it since the windstorm so I had no idea there were so many trees down.
Awesome video! Thanks for helping maintain trails.
This is the best family on TH-cam u guys are the most happy people
Some parts of the trail are pretty beat up with brake check bumps, and I think you’re right, not much we can do till we get more rain. But right now with the colors going off and your work, still I think the best trail we have in the area. I loved all the pine needles on the trail, it felt like some sort of Christmas ride. Take care, John
another great video, great work getting out and helping clear all the trails with the family.
So great to see you teaching your kids how to give back and spend quality time with them also. don't know why there are haters on the channel but keep up the great work in riding and raising boys! I have 2 grown up of my own that I get to still ride with.
Happy Birthday, it's amazing to see you doing good stuff for your local community
Thanks! We all have to work together to make rad stuff happen!
Happy birthday Eric! Love you Seth and Alex’s channels

This video was nice to everyone helping each other out 👍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thx for clearing up the trails nice bit of community work 🤩🤩
Thx so much
Pretty cool, man. Showing the kids that their efforts benefit everyone. Some side line jumps would be a fun addition to that trail. :) The same for some features. Something progressive to learn on.
I would love more side hits! Haha just need to find time to build them!
I hope lots of people see this and use it as examples of how to be a responsible rider and dad you are a great example safety first!
I hope so too, more people need to hear that message!
You got me in to biking and I got 14 place in my state on my first race. Thank you.
That's awesome, congrats! Keep it up!
Thanks for clearing out that trail Eric! That is so cool. Also happy b day
This is like the ultimate birthday, just to finish the day with a beer. 👌

Yes! Thank you!
This channel has been my best new follow this year! Exactly the kind of wholesome content I need during COVID-19. I just love seeing a dad spending quality time with his kids.
That's awesome, glad you're enjoying it!
Great to see riders doing their part, great video!
Glad to see your kids riding a hardtail. I think it’s best to grow up on a hardtail until late high school because it makes you a better rider and forces you to pick better lines
I totally agree, hardtails are the best way to learn!
Awesome dude of the year award winner for sure!
Fantastic work there keeping trails open... Think that bar tho has seen better days 😉
Thanks! Yeah the bar and saw are 12 years old or so, but they have plenty of life left!
Eric on his birthday: what should I do today - I know i'll go biking with a 50lbs chainsaw, that will be fun! Great video eric!
Haha exactly, someone had to do it! I love working on trails too! Thanks!
Same here. Digging is nearly as fun as riding
Thank you......and happy birthday. Be safe man.
Milo has got a go pro on his helmet. Finally! 🎉
Yeah we've got great gopro footage from him on the Whistler trip, coming out soon!
Impressive how many trails are out there!
I know, we didn't even have time to ride very many trails, I'll have to go back for more!
ah man love the wow trail will for sure have to check out your work on it
Awesome video and happy birthday!!!!
Great video awesome to see you guys give back to the community and your love for the sport mate keep up the great work. 👍🇦🇺🤓
Hey Eric! The wind storm effected me as well, we were actually going to head up to Logan but our peach tree fell over!
Wow I’m jealous hope that can be soon and ride with my boy. Awesome vid
When did you maintain it
dude! thanks for clearing the trails!
I just got a new Santa Cruz cc xo1 Hightower and I was wondering if you knew any cool trails in California to test it on
I live in New Hampshire, and love riding singletrack and the bike park. If you’re ever up up here, i’d love to ride with you and Milo and Owen!
Awesome video and happy birthday whenever you filmed it!
Thanks for the hard work🙌🏼🙌🏼
Really cool that trail has a lot of variety!!
Yeah it's crazy how different the trail is from top to bottom!
We hit this trail on a 2020 West trip from PA y'all's so blessed to have so many epic trails in UTAH
Eric you look like such a great dad bringing your kids with you and including them, just make sure you don't leave them early because of your profession
Thanks! Doing my best to stay safe!!
Happy belated birthday eric, todays my birthday, also great video!!!

Happy Birthday Eric!!!
What a great guys takes his birthday to help others and spend time with the family. I wanna ride with milo I am his age but I live in Cali

Cool
We lost a tree in our local trail system about a month and a half ago I live in this small town where the little jump trail is all we have and it’s not like we have anything to ride it’s a double two pump roller into a burm that you couldn’t ride before and then it loops back to the start
When I saw the title I thought you had lost your mind 😂
Happy birthday Eric Have a good one!
Keep up the good work dude
Milo and owen cam are the best
Good work men!
oh.. those locals were stoked when they saw the chain saw sticking out of your pack.. rad.
Haha yeah they were, they ended up passing us pretty early on though so they did a lot hiking over trees!
