Great video-it amazes me though the ease you ride these difficult trails with a duct tape tire yet get psyched out on lesser obstacles on good tires. Crazy how the mind works sometimes
This video was absolutely mind blowing. I did not expect you to actually ride half of the features you did let alone actually sending them without crashing. Such a fun idea. Thank you :)
I love this channel. I've watched him from 2018 to now and I whatch every video he makes. I would love to be like you one day. Keep up the work legand!
Awesome video idea. Can’t believe you started on that aggressive of a trail! I also didn’t expect it to hold up that well with no cross strapping to keep it from torquing sideways.
i love the Red Green references. Duct tape has amazing uses that's for sure, I was amazed that you were able to do as much as you were with the slick smooth surface of the duct tape.
I have a experiment going were i put an old light xc tire inside my regular tire because my tire had a big hole in it and tubless didnt work . I just cuttet the bead of the xc tire and puted a tube in it but secured the tube with this tubless nut on the valve stem because the tube has a hole in it. it actually holds air in it. you can feel the weight when paddeling but there is no difference jumping and doing whips. I can recommend it for bikeparks as you wont have any flats with the hybrit tube -tubless home made double down system as you have the best of tubes and tubless
50mm backer rod closed cell foam - double-side sticky taped to the rim, then duct tape all around. Might help to reduce vibration. My preferred use for it is inside my tubeless mtb tires though...
I wonder if you alternated closed cell high density foam, duct tape, then double sided tape if that would keep the wheel as stable but also give it some “give”. Great video!
dude, this is INSANE. lmao. I feel like this is the way to go tho now-and-then in terms of content, we've all seen a bazzillion +1 POV video's... it's nice to just have fun sometimes with the adjacent stuff... so was it actually grippy? seems like it had a surprising amount of tack.. :0
- use your old tire to make grips - do a frame from a plywood (with linkage and stuff0 and experiment with horizontal/vertical layers for flexibility/stiffness and different parts of the frame (front/rear triangle) - make a fork form 2 old pumps? :) - use sunflower oil for your brakes - 3d print pedals - install a chair/stool instead of the saddle. with a dropper post!
Was wondering how much faster the breaking components would wear out with 16 lbs tires, enjoyed this vid very fun and Enjoyed the red green reference at the end too
Hilarious. And some sweet music picks, as well. A little Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown" at 5:15 and some Aaron Copland sounding Western motifs later on. Nice.
Before I clicked, I already knew you were about to get into a sticky situation. Also.... 5 roll savings is sure to now be another touted benefit of running mullet.
What about filling your tires with random stuff? I think another channel filled their tires with bread, but doing it with other things as a Cush core alternative would be entertaining. BTW, I loved the reference at the end to the red green show.
"I am not a smart man"..... The sign of the start of a great video 😂
Not smart, nor handsome, but defnitely handy!
In one sentence, sums it all up.
I love this video man!!!👏 Great Entertainment
How hard of a trail do you think you could ride with your brakes backwards? (Rear on the left).
You mean the correct way? 😜
oh geez.. I'm pretty sure I'd loose teeth if I tried that 😬
@@BCpov …..more than riding a trail with duct tape tires? 😂
Rear on the left is correct though?
@@zechreardon6129 nah that's only in Australia
Great video-it amazes me though the ease you ride these difficult trails with a duct tape tire yet get psyched out on lesser obstacles on good tires. Crazy how the mind works sometimes
Setting the standard for EWS, clearly the latest and greatest improvement in MTB tech
How much did BIG DUCT TAPE pay you for this advert? 😄
haha! I think the question is How much did I pay them?!
@@BCpov Start chasing them for remuneration.
Ahahaha, this idea definitely had not cross my mind!
I’d love to see what you can do on the duct tape setup!
@@BCpov No scrubs (in purpose)!
Love the Red Green reference! Thats what I was thinking of when you dumped out the box full of duct tape 😄
Great video! Keep it up!
So much this.
the grip of this grey duct tape is actually impressive!!!
You and Yuka are very cute and wholesome together. I love that you both love doing this! It makes the whole content much more enjoyable!!
The infamous Jamie Hyneman once said: "Duck Tape isn't a perfect solution for ANYTHING, but it's an adequate solution for just about everything. "
amazing quote 🙂
"If they don't find you handsome they should atleast find you handy." Nice quote from the red green show.
love the red green reference at the end. excellent video! love the creativity
could you duct tape a tire insert? would lower weight and reduce impact vibrations
My thoughts exactly 👍
That's big brain
Those are too expensive too. I was thinking using a pool noodle from a dollar store, maybe cut in half.
@@fillfreakin2245 Great idea!

Eric, I genuinely loved this video. It might be my favorite on youtube. Keep up the great content
honestly that worked way better than I thought it would. you are very brave
Maybe adding in pool noodles underneath the duct tape could save some weight AND give added support to the rim. Homemade Cush Core! 😂
That was fun! I especially liked the Red Green reference at the end.
Just a beautiful vibe about your videos, exactly what I needed right now.
Awesome video idea. Can’t believe you started on that aggressive of a trail! I also didn’t expect it to hold up that well with no cross strapping to keep it from torquing sideways.
Eric this video was amazing, don't worry about it not being "regular" content 😁

You should go to a place in Santa Cruz California called Harvey West it’s a really fun dirt jumper spot I think you’d enjoy it
awesome video, thanks for trying this out, very interesting to see how your bike worked with duct tape tires
I loved the Red Green reference at the end.
15:33 I love the Red and Green reference lol
Love the Red Green joke at the end. Hilarious video!
Love the original video idea!! Keep up the good work Eric ❤️
The quality of your vids are getting so good! Love your rides and commentary :)
Red Green would be proud. That's some great Original Content!
Great job I’ve been watching your TH-cam channel for two years and I just keeps getting better
Eric that was an outstanding video, I loved it, definitly something different, and very enjoyable. Red Green would be very proud
I really enjoyed this video...it brought me tons of smiles.
🤣Nice Red Green reference at the end there🤣

this was a nice change in style. I really liked this video.
“I’m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess” … I grew up with Red Green so this video is for me 😂
That was a giggle and glad you didn't come unstuck! Sorry I'm English 😂
This was crazy and amazing and amazingly crazy! And it shows how good of a mountainbiker you are.
Great video! Worth the watch for sure
So much fun, I really enjoyed that.

Classic episode guys... Loved it..
Love the Red Green reference at the end! Keep your stick on the ice!
Best idea yet. Loved the video…so funny. Thanks Eric !!
That was the maddest but funny video i have watched thank you keep up the good work 👏

I noticed you got a coil in the rear? Id love to see a video of how it compares to your air.
I was so worried about the steep rock slab but you survived 😮🤣 next level stoked 🤣😂
it's crazy how expensive mtb tires are getting.
Blame it on the war in Ukraine... Everything nowadays on the world is the cause of this... Suddenly no more resources... i just can't believe it tho!
Dude I’m paying 50€ for one of those!
I love when people find old bikes for like $20 then discover they have to pay $100 to get new tires and tubes for it!
You can get tires for around 25€
@@hannes6114 not those tires tho!
Airless tires with sidewall tread design ready set GO!!
This was awesome!!! You are MAD!!! What a great vid!
Damn, you're starting to outcrazy the Sam Pilgrim himself!
It’s always a great day when you upload +today’s a Friday where I come from
Such a great idea for a video. You are definitely a brave man!
Brave.. or stupid.. thin line :)

This is a great video idea I loved it and your wife is an amazing filmographer
Hilarious and fun video, you’ve got some guts riding that on the trails.
Have you looked into Specialized tires? The new ones are apparently pretty good, slightly less performance then Maxxis but also $60-75 USD
Great video! Outside of the box engineering! Funny/fun to watch. Lol!
that was entertaining for sure. Glad you made it out alive! Pretty surprised how well it did outside of it's weight issue.
Any video from bcpov never fails to entertain, keep it up
Your frequent music changing is hilarious!
Timing is important I suppose
The Red Green reference at the end is what got me
Hilarious!! Red Green would be proud
What a great, "outside the box" video.
Sweet! I haven't even watched the video yet and I already know it's going to be badass. I love it when people get Goofy 😂
This video was awesome to watch
The handyman’s secret weapon! I love it!!
"shes still running haha " , dude i fell off my comp chair it was that funny
Red Green will be proud of you 😁👍

love the red green quote
I love the Steve Smith homage at the end ❤️
Great reboot. I like the recasting of Howard, solid choice
Now that was interesting. Bike gear/parts if you can even find them are crazy pricey.
Pretty hilarious how well those worked
Thank you for you great videos .. I look forward to your guys adventures. Cheers….
10:25 The chaos in that front wheel taping was EPIC!
Love the Berm Peak hoodie. Gotta get you over there with Seth and riding Berm Peak/Berm Park.
Hey, that's my old stomping ground ... and I see, I wonder why I was seeing duct tape along the trails. LOL =)
This is the most ridiculous video you have ever made. I LOVE IT!
What a great video. Back wheel sure, but front no I don't think so. 😂😂. I'm very paranoid about the front tyre slipping out from under me.
OK, this was a bit gimmicky but the Red Green reference at the end saved it! I'm pullin for ya, we're all in this together!
i like the red green reference !!
Omg, Eric....when you first got to the second slab, I thought we were going to lose you
'Thirsty beaver'.... funniest trail name ever 🤣
I'm just here for the red-green show reference at the end LOL
Before I clicked, I already knew you were about to get into a sticky situation.
Also....
5 roll savings is sure to now be another touted benefit of running mullet.
Such a funny and quirky video. Gave me anxiety just imagining trying something like this. Lol
What about filling your tires with random stuff? I think another channel filled their tires with bread, but doing it with other things as a Cush core alternative would be entertaining. BTW, I loved the reference at the end to the red green show.
Ends with my favorite Red Green quote.... earns a like button click.
Yes!!! Love the video. You would fit right in at Possum Lodge.
“I’m a man, I can change. If I have to. I guess…”
This was a really strange and entertaining idea. Nice work!
"I am a Man, I can change, If I have to, I guess." lol love the Red/Green reference
