Thank you for all the kind words everyone. This was honestly such a fun video to make with the old boy and he genuinely loved it. I’m sure he’ll be back for more 😉
Hi Rich, Could you tell me which trails these were please? They seem really smooth compared to the videos of the verderers trail. I was supposed to take my wife in may, hoping to go in September, she's fairly nervous and on a hardtail.
@@AndyTheBluesHarp the trails they went down were Countdown and Launchpad. They're really good fun trails perfect for beginners! Countdown starts at the top of the fireroad climb where the other downhill trails are and it leads into launchpad near the bottom!
Would have loved to have done something like that with my dad. But he always was more of a dancer in his lifetime. Hope you continue having a blast together!
This video really hits home for me. My wife and I (she’s 48 and I’m 50) started mountain biking again last year. She has had a full knee replacement and I’ve had surgery on both feet. We have lost a combined 180 pounds. It is literally the best thing we ever did. Just remember to check with your Dr to make sure your heart is strong enough then start slow and work your way up. It’s addicting and makes you feel amazing. Just remember the fun begins when the tires leave the pavement. I would love to see more on Rich’s dad progressing on his MTB journey. GMBN may have a new presenter.
Woohoo! Way to go! I too feel like I am in much better shape. I still end up walking up hills, and the humidity gets to me, but I have a blast! Keep going!!
@@bryanwagnerseniormtb9940 Oh yeah! It's fun no matter what we do. We're going camping tomorrow for a few days at a place that has wonderful mtb trails that we love. Love the downhill!
Awesome works guys that’s amazing to hear and you’ll never believe it but Dads actually had both knees replaced a couple years ago. Mans a machine lol. Keep up the good work and keep smiling 🙌
my wife will be 64 in sept , now her second year , ive never been more happy with her, many times after dinner she had said "want to go for a ride" her progress is insane , shes had a broken rib and a black eye from a rock garden and still bounced back for more
64 and still proving she’s a “keeper.” :) I just convinced my wife to get a mountain bike...with everything back ordered it’ll be here in October they tell me. So no park riding since the snowboarding will start up, but we have local trails she will be able to get her feet wet in.
This makes me glad I get to ride with my own son 🙂 Sincerely, this transcends the topic of an older person riding mtb and brings a warm and positive light to sharing something in a parent/kiddo relationship. My son will be 15 soon and we've ridden some of the most awesome spots in the United States and I am grateful beyond words for the experience of it. I'm starting to love GMBN more and more for a dozen reasons
Dude, right on! Good for you!! I’m 46 and just started back up after a 20+ year hiatus. Might as well have started from the beginning because of how much tech has changed. Never too old to start living life to it’s fullest! 🤙
Rich, that was one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched for a while, I can so relate to it. My Old Man actually got me into MTB, and he was 76 (I was 50 and still trying to injure myself/race BMX) at the time. Since then, most of the extended family from 10yo to 55yo have got on board. Its fantastic to be able to show everyone, what a great sport this is, no matter what age. Dad turns 79 this year and even though his wrists are stuffed, (and he cheats now with an ebike, kidding), he tries ro ride at least 3 times a week. LEGEND!
Great bit of film :) I started (teaching myself) at 71 this year, first time offroad....but I do 'cheat' with an EMTB. Its FAB + I can really enjoy the climbs too.
6:10 This 68yr old agrees with you! Father (me) and my 35 year old son had a great weekend in the Ochoco Mountains astronomy and mountain biking. 🚵♂️🚵♂️
Really nice to see this. I am riding with a group of friends for 20 years already. We are now between 55 and 64 of age. Still going strong. First time at 62 and doing this: love it💪👌✌️
I'm just starting at 61-62 and feel the same way...but I'm grateful for starting at all. I now ride with my (truth) 6 year old son and we have a blast. GO FOR IT!
71, first started mountain biking before there were shocks. Got away from it for many years and only last summer started taking my 20(?) year old Gary Fisher Tassajara out on the trails again. Been thinking of upping my game and seriously looking at getting a full suspension and testing my limits. However, the first bone that breaks means that bike goes on sale! :)
This was pretty great!! Your dad is hilarious and such a good sport! I lost my dad when I was 15, and got a little teary eyed watching this. BUT.. i'm "the dad" now" and have been spending a lot of time bonding with my little man on the bikes. Keep up the great work GMBN!!
Comment 💯 Just turned 60 and as I’ve mentioned, I love all GMBN videos! I still ride wheelies and have 2 bikes. HT and FS. Love the FS at my age. Sucks up those bone jarring bumps. 😂 You and your dad did great!
Fair play to your dad, for an MTB beginner, he did well. I'm in my 40's, and just getting back into it, after a 12 year absence, and it's not as easy as it looks. But it does look like great fun, and I'm inspired by your dad. But I'm going into it pretty much blind, without any tuition. Finding my balance on a bike again is the trickiest part so far. But there is much more to learn.
Ignore the numbers!! I'm 46, and granted I've been riding my whole life, but I've ridden more of the most legendary terrain in the States in the last year than I have in all my life to now. I saw a guy at Angel Fire last month that was absolutely shredding at 58!!!!!!
It'll come back to you mate, just go at your pace and comfort level. You have nothing to prove to anyone (except maybe yourself, for personal achievements)
Started at 41. I’m 50 now, in my best “bike shape” ever. The key to riding at my age is riding with confidence, keeping legs in good shape, and staying away from jumps!
Kiragu Gichuri Riding, constantly. Of course, stretching before riding. But that’s all I do. I don’t always do trails. Sometimes I take my mountain bike on roadways and have lots of hills. I called those my “exercise” rides.
I'm a bit late to the party, but.... this was absolutely brilliant! How I belly laughed at your dads one liners. Great vid well done Payner's!! And in my back garden too. Such a great place to ride!
that was great....hope your Dad sticks with it. would be a great follow up video after a few months of riding. I'm 62 as well, started riding Mt Bikes when I was in my 20's and still XC racing...sure wish I had got my Dad into this sport he would have loved it. Cheers from Arizona
Love the banter. Are we looking at the 'Newest ' presenter on the channel, or more especially over on EMBN? Go on Richard........spoil your Dad. Get him an E-bike so you can go out together! Had a good laugh watching this. As a fellow 60 something plus, I can relate to everything in the video.
Started mountain biking at 50. That was over 10 1/2 years ago. I older I get, the faster and better I get. One is NEVER too old to start mountain biking. It's what keeps me young.
49 and just got my first full suspension bike. Been riding for about a month. Got both tires into the air for the first time just this weekend. Heart is still pumping. 🤘🏼
@@richardpayne5176 Absolutely! We need more women out there, of all ages and backgrounds. Maybe GMBN needs to add a lady rider to their presenters. I know there are a lot of women who love the channel but also really enjoy hearing things from a woman's point of view. Just a suggestion, love all you guys.
The best video of GMBN in months. Such a lovely dad. You're very fortunate to be able to do this. Wish my dad was like this.... I had so many laughs and got great vibes from watching this.
I absolutely loved this video...it really hit home...I’m 59 and my youngest son who’s 27 got me riding 3 years ago...my 1st outing I got pedal spiked and cut my leg pretty good...since than I’ve been injured going over the handle bars and recovered..it didn’t stop me..I’ve since owned both a hard tail and a full suspension bike..we’ve ridden together on several trails systems together having a blast..he’s an enduro racer...I’m not...I ride with in my limits and have learned a ton from him..I ride almost every chance I get and have never regretted my off road experiences with my son..thank you B...love ya much.
That was such a lovely video of Dad and Son duo. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I am 55 and I have a Giant Fathom 29er 2019. Thumbs up to you Dad and Son. You guys had such a lot of fun. I like the way Dad said - " I am 62 you cheeky bugger" 😂😂
9:07 Front on the right?!? As a rider in the US, I just learned that if I’m ever in a movie-style pursuit in the UK and commandeer a bicycle to apprehend the fleeing spy, he’s probably going to get away because I’ll have flown the handlebars within the first 60 seconds.
I know the feeling of making your dad follow your passion it really is a true blessing to share that moment in time and both will remember it forever cause I did the same with my dad and there's another thing to scratch off both of us bucket list I love you dad
started a few months ago, just had my first crash at 37yo..... i dont remember shit hurting for days after a small crash when i was a kid =) i hate getting older...
Way to go dad I'll be 70 in two months and i just started mountin biking two months ago.I'm having a blast . You look like you can pic it up fast just keep at it.Today i had my first two crashes , i hit front wheel first climbing over a two foot bit and went over the handlebars onto my face but came out all right.And i looped out doing a manual landed on my back .Didn't get hurt and i did learn from it I hope. Anyway good for you my friend keep at it, we don't have to get crazy like the kids but we can still have lots of fun.
Really enjoy watching GMBN videos and this one is my favorite. You and your dad need to do more videos together. I am 66 and getting back into mountain biking after 31 years. So this really struck close to home. Keep up the great job and thanks for all the information you provide.
I loved this video, especially as a 62 year old who bought a Trek this year. Despite my self-doubts(too old) ,i found your channel and thought , perfect, this is the way to learn and practice. It has helped tremendously. Dad is an absolute good sport , and watching and listening to the two of you put a permanent grin throughout the video. Well done and thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully, more of the older generation will come out of the closet and jump on a mountain bike,thanks to you and dad! Yes we can!
As a 50 yr old sometimes mountain biker, kudos to you and your dad for reminding us all that it’s not just for EWS stars, and that you can start ( or restart) anytime. Now is the best time to start mountain biking!
Crap and I thought I was doing well starting at 61 but that old codger topped me at 62, er 64! Really great video and especially the message that (other than death and dismemberment) it really isn't too late. Thanks boys!
Im 52 and started MTB during lock down, spent a fortune lost over a stone in weight and its the fittest i have been since in my 20s.Loving my new lease of life :) Great video and well done to your dad .
I love this episode, I lost my dad last year and I would have loved to have had him with me from time to time but we never got to it and now it’s too late.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you two ride together. Makes me feel good in my heart. I'd be proud to have that type of relationship with my dad. You two are a hoot sirs! More of these please.
Brought both a smile and a tear to me this vid! Dad was 65 when we rode MTB together for the first time (was 6 years ago). He he'd been a roadie for years, at the time he was clocking around 70km a week so pretty fit and quite able to ride... Discovered two things by the end of the ride (did a 'purple' at Swinley). Firstly, his ability to grind for hours was never in doubt, but his ability to gas it up a steep embankment was a bit lacking. But the funniest discovery was his neck at the end of the ride - He literally couldn't twist it any more once we'd got home. Apparently roadies don't have to do lots of corners!!! RIP Dad... (his neck did get better, the brain tumour another thing...)

It's not cheating if it's not a race! Remember that

@Bob Longhorn Well just don't clog up the descends mate, if somebody hates on you on the uphill it's just envy (i'm guilty of this myself)
It means you can get more trails done in less time!
@@R3ddyyg I don't see many other bikers, as there are no official trails nearby, it's mainly the dog walkers I have to avoid!

I started riding almost 3 months ago and I'm 38! My pops has been riding for 10+ years and he is 63!
You and your dad are hilarious. Laughed throughout this video. Good on your dad to hit the trail! Very impressive.
being 62 myself and a rider/ racer all my life I still can imagane what your father felt like. HE´S A BOSS!

One of the best vids yet! Definitely have to have the not so old man back in some more videos, he’s got skills. Winner winner, lots of laughs.

Really great video and especially the message that (other than death and dismemberment) it really isn't too late. Thanks boys!
Loved it. Your dad is too funny. We need to see him more!
Rich's father would make a GREAT GMBN presenter! A quite funny bloke, and zero camera shy.
Im 52 and started MTB during lock down, spent a fortune lost over a stone in weight and its the fittest i have been since in my 20s.Loving my new lease of life :) Great video and well done to your dad .
Very comical father/son banter! My Dad is obsessed with checking oil and water also telling all the family to check!
Rich is having the best day of his life with his dad, so moving to see this bond growing thanks to Mountain biking.
I love this episode, I lost my dad last year and I would have loved to have had him with me from time to time but we never got to it and now it’s too late.
LOL, LOVE IT!!! I'm closer to your Dad's age. But you 2 are Great together!!
what an awesome father - son relationship. awesome
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you two ride together. Makes me feel good in my heart. I'd be proud to have that type of relationship with my dad. You two are a hoot sirs! More of these please.
Great fun! I'm 62 and have been watching plenty of coaching videos over lockdown. Keen to get out on the trail and have a go with caution!
Well job GMBN and family- well needed video and the antics are great. Wish we all had a great dad like this!
Started riding last year at 65, with a friend who was 67. We try to stick to the smoother trails and are having a blast!
Brought both a smile and a tear to me this vid! Dad was 65 when we rode MTB together for the first time (was 6 years ago). He he'd been a roadie for years, at the time he was clocking around 70km a week so pretty fit and quite able to ride...
Discovered two things by the end of the ride (did a 'purple' at Swinley). Firstly, his ability to grind for hours was never in doubt, but his ability to gas it up a steep embankment was a bit lacking. But the funniest discovery was his neck at the end of the ride - He literally couldn't twist it any more once we'd got home. Apparently roadies don't have to do lots of corners!!!
RIP Dad... (his neck did get better, the brain tumour another thing...)
