- Our friend, @MattsOffRoadRecovery wants to go mountain biking with his kids, but he hasn't ridden a bike in ages, and is afraid he can't keep up. As it turns out though, Matt is a BMXer from way back, and knows how to handle a bike! In this video, we set Matt up with an E-Mountain Bike, and take him and his kids on a ride they'll never forget.

Thank you so much for putting this together and inviting me along.
I got admit, it was pretty cool to return home and have my kids brag to their mama about their dad.
Let’s do this again sometime!
loved seeing such a huge smile on your face😂
sweeet jumps. lol looked fun
you did great out there, looked like a blast
When the kids start bragging, you know you've reached legend status in their eyes.
Well done Mat, really enjoyed the collaboration on this one
Are ypu going to keep riding
By far the best TH-camr collaboration ever. Just awesome Seth and Matt. Hope to see another collaboration from you guys again. Just seeing the joy on Matts kids faces watching their dad send it was incredible.👍👍👍
Seconded
Indeed!!
Amazing crossover content
I was surprised and impressed when I saw it come about! It is a great combo!
I agree on of his best videos yet.
For the E-Mountain Bikes haters out there, this is a perfect example of the advantage of an E-bike. Matt was able to enjoy the ride with friends and family. Great video
Yup! Also, you might want to correct heaters to haters…
anytime i hear people shitting on E-bikes of any kind THIS is what they're designed for.
Disagree... Ebikes just let you have more fun, you don't have to be out of shape and inexperienced to shred an ebike. Get edumacated because this comment just reinforces the general negative sentiment
@@chrisreap3r599 I like his comment....and what they said in the video about how it makes you feel 20 years younger. Even if you are 40 and in good shape, it can make you feel like you're 20... you can ride way longer before exhaustion and like you said - have more fun
E bike wear you out just has my dirt jumper if I push it. For sure I have twice the weight but 1000s more headaches
As soon as Mat stands up and starts pedalling, you can tell by his body he's a BMX bandit from years ago.
I've been watching MORR for years, never once guessed he'd be a demon on the trails with only 2 wheels.
Exactly my two thought as well. Even before he bunny hopped you could tell. Then casually riding over that grate one handed I knew we were in for a tremendous treat!
Yep, the body language shows it. Except for a couple moments he looks like he's been riding MTB for years. It was a bit jarring actually, because his physicality on MORR is so different. All thinking carefully and talking / explaining while standing around or driving.
Yup. There's certain things people who did BMX just don't forget. Like I've never wondered how to hit a drop. I've ridden off everything from picnic tables to garage roofs (ended badly) so even though it was 20 years later, there's some things you don't forget!
@@ghensold it's hilarious because it looks so alien wearing the exact same outfit as always, family guy meets simpsons vibe.
I'd have totally lost this bet! Never in a hundred years would I have guessed Matt has riding skills. Wow, I'm dumbfounded & impressed! I hope this inspires him to get an ebike and get back into riding.
Seth being ready to catch Matt when he’s about to fall shows the care factor he has for introducing people to his sport. There’s like 2 foot and 100kg difference but Seth’s right there ready to get crushed in the name of saving someone.
Love it!
I just commented something pretty similar about that. Seth was clearly outweighted to catch Matt but somehow was able to and went there anyway. What a nice human being!
@@marpheus1 I think Matt caught a lot of himself tbh, but Seth was there 100% for something to land on.
@@jaredpursey3791 yes, I saw that too. On the slight chance that Matt would fall, he always stood up and got his feet on the ground and his bum out of the seat, to be as independent of the bike and as grounded as possible.
I think they were genuinely worried. Filming would've been done for the day if Matt flipped backwards.
And that tip toe almost made it to the top is a scary one ,,, if you’ve felt that moment of helplessness ❤ this was awesome , good people connecting
Holy crap, Matt is fearless. Don’t think any video can ever show how great/serious that Gooseberry is. Hope he starts riding with his kids!
I agree
I rode Gooseberry last year when I was out south visiting some friends. Beautiful trail and the regulars I met were awesome.
I second that.
The storyline of Matt’s kids coming along and this being wholesome family content was unexpected and appreciated. Loved it.
Mad Respect for Matt. Having your kids blown away is awesome.
Matt is a natural. I love that this will lead to mtb rides with his kids. Thats a win win! Great job Seth.
Im from NC I've watched you for along time. I found MORR about 2 years ago. you both mean so much to me. Ive lost 90 pounds, I want to get a bike... I also started auto body repair classes back in August... Its been a life changer. Im much more happier. I feel so happy seeing this, when I saw you were going to be in the off road games, I almost cried. Im so happy for you and Matt, keep being yall. Thank you.
Matt totally reciprocated the assignment. You both put faith in each other’s expertise and came out winners! The Off Road Games and this video were a joy to watch.
Agreed
You did one hell of a job taking someone who doesn't ride mountain bikes but it's not afraid of Adventure and lead them through some technical and aggressive trails. Well done Sir...well done sir!!!!
I watch Matt almost every day and I never would have predicted this level of ability. I've always been impressed with the guy and the whole MORR crew, but now I'm amazed.
As a lifelong cyclist and mtn biker for over 20 years; what feels easy to an experienced mtn biker can be overwhelming to a novice. Respect to Matt for accepting the challenge.
Specialized out here making power moves in the most wholesome way possible. We got a great video, Matt gets to ride with his kids, and I can think of absolutely no better advertisement for their e-mtbs
fun till the internal belt breaks. motors with gears are preferred.
@@SimonBauer7 The Gen3 motors are pretty robust, and if they do give out and you are a first owner they will generally replace it for free with very little fight
@SimonBauer7 it's been on the top of many eMTB shootouts.
I'm pretty sure this is my favorite video I've ever watched on youtube. Two of my favorite youtube folks, mixing and matching things they love and I love, having a great time. You both inspire me to get out there and chase dreams.
This is definitely my favorite video of the year so far. Matt's riding skills was truly impressive. Hope to see him ride morr. Either on your channel or his own.
He should start a father-son racing team called Matt's off-road racing and use the same MORR name.
Channels I love to watch combined on my all-time favorite trail. Mind. Blown. This was the best, thank you.
18:12 This makes me so much more than happy! Absolutely amazing to see the enthusiasm guts and skills Matt has for something he never thought he would be able to do!
"Im too old and fat" Friend you're NEVER too old and Fat! Enjoy life enjoy mountain biking its all about the journey and the memories you make not the destination! I believe Matt can do it! Get back into shape and enjoy life! He just got a new subscriber 💪🏻
This. I had some of the most epic rides of my life on Gooseberry Mesa 20 years ago. Now that I feel like my body is a bit old and busted, it really warms my heart to see Matt get after it and truly have fun. I understand e-bikes now.
You can be too fat. The wheel literally bends and flops over if you're on the huskier side of things. So be warned.
@@PonkyKong and thats why you bike, you have fun and loose weight at the same time
Good luck on the trail! 💪🏻
19:15 “my favorite part about being a mountain biker is creating new ones.”
Ah so that is why you are a dad now 😂.
I love that you can see the bmx swag in matt especially at the landing of that rock roll at 15:13
This was so cool to see, Matt is so much better than I would have ever guessed.
I'm a rider and been watching MOAR since the beginning. Matt is a gifted athlete. I can't ride some of those obstacles he did. That was amazing, ebike or not. He's also very strong and in shape because of the nature of his job. Not just anyone can jump on an ebike and make it rip like this. Very cool video.
I don't think I've ever shouted 'No!' at my television quite so many times in a single minute before.
Thank you Matt, Specialized, Seth, and the whole crew for an entertaining video.
You’ve just gained a new subscriber. I’ve been watching Matt’s channel for years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile that much! I’m so glad the Off-road Games brought me here! 👍👍
This is the exact reason why I don't understand the hate for e-bikes. It allowed someone to get out and enjoy mountain biking who otherwise would have been hesitant, and now they have a tool that allows them to enjoy the hobby while being able to keep up with more experienced riders. This was a great video and you can tell everyone had a great time.
The haters are getting fewer and fewer. Like Matt I have a mtb bike getting dusty. Too hard to get back in shape at my age to enjoy it. Now I have an e-bike and I can enjoy riding again.
My buddy who rides almost every day isn't bored, and I can carry on a conversation while we're grinding.
E-bikes are wonderful.
Now this was unexpected! I was surprised to see the thumbnail, to say the least. As a multi-decade MTBer who is pretty new to 4X4 (been watching MORR for 3 or 4 years) this was super fun to watch! Matt was out there rippin! Huck your meat, brother!!! Mad respect.
Matt was killin’ it!! I was surprised and impressed!!
Seth please don't stop making videos of your epic rides and trips. There is something so amazing about seeing you riding in a raw and natural setting that me and many other fans love watching. Your reactions and commententary are very entertaining and your trips are just inspirational.
You both leveled up on this adventure. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a huge Berm Peak, Eric Porter and MORR fan and I am not exaggerating when I say this is by far one of my favourite YT videos EVER!!! Well done everyone....well done!!! 👍
This was so much fun, you crushed it Matt! Glad you made it through the day in one piece too haha!
This is awesome!! I’m glad the algorithm sent me this, what a cool, fun blessing!!
Long-time MORR subscriber so I’m familiar with Matt’s “go-for-it and conquer it with aplomb” attitude, and I am still a bit surprised (and very warmly impressed) by Matt’s riding.
I LOVE how awed Kaulin and Karter are by their dad. They won’t forget this, ever.
Matt is so one-of-a-kind. Which I knew, but now even more-so.
I am always amazed by mountain bikers! I have a hard time just riding a bike on a dirt road let alone rolling thru stuff like this!
Last couple of years, our Moab trips involved binge watching Seth's and Matt's videos. Matt's not bad!
What a collaboration
Brother this is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done. I LOVE Matt’s channel too! Just some good people making memories. Thanks for sharing with those of us back on Long Island wishing we had off-road trails like that haha.
THANK YOU Seth & Matt. One of the most entertaining mtb videos that I can remember. Good. Clean. Sketchy. Fun.
I love that you all Collaborated! ❤ Been watching Berm Peak for some years and been watching Matt for 3 years now❤ Matt's impressive on that Bike, love it!!
Thank you so much for doing this video. This is fantastic. Two of my most favorite TH-camrs coming together. As a dad of boys I can’t explain how fun it is to bond with my kids out on the trails just goofing off and being a kid again.
Love, gooseberry, Mesa, the combination of Seth, Mat , and the rest of the crew out there on a beautiful day on bikes, was a treat to watch. Much appreciated, great content, as always, Seth!
My favorite video on the internet right now. Love Matt and fam. Love Seth and crew. Epic
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of land I've ever seen. With the white mountain tops in the background, just stunning. And the trails look insanely fun!
Also, that man's a natural. You can tell he's got a great sense for slopes and traction limits.
That was great Seth. Matt is such a game guy and it is great to see you both open yourself up to other people’s passion. What fun!
Matt is actually surprisingly good, I would not see myself doing the things he did when I just started.
This collab was definitely a match made in the desert. Its cool to see you and Matt just simply work hand in hand with obstacles that both of you deal with. He's on four wheels and biking with two. Thank you for making this video happen and anyone who helped make it happen.
Mad respect for Matt. Love his off road recovery and now love watching him on a mtb!
I took that same line on the practice trail just one week before you guys rode it and had to back up because I didn’t want to take the drop. I love that trail system! And like Matt, I ride my Orbea Rise 30 EMTB. It makes a ton of difference and I can ride with my son. I hope this opened Matt’s eyes to what’s possible now. I enjoy both his videos and yours. Thanks for this video! I was smiling and laughing through the whole thing. Also, I used to live on the other side of that sketchy mountain side he was showing you back in the 80’s.
Best collab in the history of TH-cam. Huge fan of both channels and all I can say is… Matt…YOU ARE THE MAN!
This video is absolutely the best example of why the bike world needs to embrace eBikes… endurance may fade but skills will always be there…. And apparently ballz too.. gonna have to get a wheelbarrow for Matt. Haha
Thanks to Specialized for making this possible.
Now I want to see Matt bring his new bike on a few jobs and ride it when he needs to retrieve something he forgot at the other truck. Haha
I like to think of mtb as the best recovery gear. A spare can weigh 100 lb. Might as well just bring some bikes instead.
This was EXTREMELY FUN to watch! I hope to see more of Matt on your channel!
This makes me want to move there. I watch Matt all the time and I never thought about MTB trails there. This is exactly what i like.
Matt!!! You are one badass dude! You killed this on so many levels!
Matt has balls of steel ! 😂
Reminds me when we took our Dad to the top of Queenstown in a heli 2 years ago. He's 53 and did a great job making it all the way to the bottom. Even Bernard Kerr and Eddie Masters were impressed! He loves his Norco Sight E and it helps him keep riding with my brother and I for the past couple years as he's getting older.
Good Times.
I felt the same exact way as Matt on my first e-bike, he did awesome!!! I was into BMX from the early 80's up into about 2005, and then I only went on a few rides up until 2020. My ebike helped me get back in the saddle, and ride with all my younger and better conditioned friends, and it helped my knees because it was too much for a normal bike at first. Now it's been 4 years of riding 1-2 times a week and I feel so much better. I love my Specialized Kenevo!
Seeing Matt and his sons keeps me smiling the whole trail and TomTom as well. Nice collaboration, been waiting for this since the Offroad games🙃
I am extremely impressed with Matt and his family!! You guys killed it on this video 🤙♥️
Heck yes!!!! Thanks MORR for the introduction. I am a bike shop manager up in Mont Tremblant Canada. Over 20 years in the jndustry and the horror stories I hear of people trying to introduce newbies into this amazing sport!!! Thanks for doing it right! You got a new follower! Keep riding and keep loving!
Going out for a ride with my dad, who just started three years ago at the age of 52 has become of my favorite things and a moment that I cherish. I really really cannot wait to ride with my kid. Awesome video as always!
The most anticipated crossover episode of the year
New respect for Matt and his kids 🤘🤘🤘
Great job Seth, I had no idea Matt had that in him. He took lines that I wouldn’t!!!
Best cross over episode. Off roading and mountain biking two of my favorite things.
been a fan of MORR for a few years and know what Matt's capable of in that environment, but this gave me a whole new respect for him!
Matt’s riding style + Jeans make him look like freerider from 2002 and it’s awesome.
This is insane. Thank you both, Seth and Matt for putting this together; my 2 favorite youtubers.
Long time fan, seldom commenter. This may be my favorite episode of yours. I just love watching someone discover and fall for something. Anything! And if it’s something I’ve fallen for too, all the better
As a mountain biker and off-roader, this video made me smile so much!
That's what heaven should look like : amazing places and amazing people giving you confidence and knowledge to explore and have fun.
You are awesome human beings.
Thank you
You can see the old BMX skills in Matt, especially the way he can balance the bike at low to no speed. I raced BMX back in the 90s, and I was one of the riders who signed the petition to get BMX into the Olympics.
Awesome got my first bmx in 84 🙏🤠✌️
@@ianmangham4570 I was racing a PowerLight (PowerLite?) P38 back in 95, miss that bike
That was awesome! Speaking from experience, the e-bike changes everything!
I had high expectations for this collaboration and it exceeded them.
As a mountain bike guy who vista Hurricane for spring MTB trips this was super cool to see. A couple years ago I found Matt’s channel and it gave us the idea to adventure in Sand Hollow the last couple springs when we visited on SxS tours.
Seeing Matt’s joy on the ebike and the hope of him riding with his sons is just icing on the cake.
Thank you all for your work on putting this together.
I'm proud of you Matt!
That was probably the most anticipated video of my professional TH-cam watching career. It did not disappoint. I couldn't believe you took him to Gooseberry but Matt slayed it! It was so fun meeting you at the Games and seeing this story play out!
What an adventure!! Thanks for taking us along to watch the fun!! 🙂
As a MTBer from the beginning, and a former division Champion some years back, my comment is "I am VERY Impressed by Matt's MTBing". I was not expecting him to try the features he you got him on. Wow Matt, you can ride!
keep them coming seth we love them
I am now really impressed with Matt.
this is exactly why i love e-bikes, there's so many people out there (me included) who know how to ride a bike from their childhood but don't necessarily have the fitness to encourage them to get out there and do it.
it's a new lease on life, if you've got the cash to get an e-mtb then absolutely do it, get out there and get some fresh air and remmeber how much you love it.
Nice to see you back on the trails Seth!
So awesome, he was fearless and I love to see someone out representing for all us 35 to 40+ year old dad bods out there. 🤘 Need to get me an Ebike like this!
This is so awesome seeing two of my favorite channels come together and have a blast in each others hobbies.
Matt, I'm an avid mtn bike rider (older than you) and I big fan of Matt's Off Road Recovery...watch your site regularly! I'm impressed with your fearlessness and skills on the Ebike and your "We'll get'm out" attitude!!!
Perfect! So fun seeing the enthusiasm. I'm an avid mtn biker & off-roader for nearly 25 years now...love everything about this! Great stuff.
I watch all Matt’s videos and this may be one of my favorites. The dude has no fear
I knew he would be the expert of line selection, but as a owner of that same bike I wasn't expecting that near static bunny hop! Awesome riding Matt!
Matt has skills, (BMX) never leaves you. Thanks Seth for knowing that juice and bringing it back out in him. Great collab for you both. Also Porter is the man!
So fun to watch two of my favorite channels together! Great video guys!
Favorite recent video by far. Thanks Seth and Matt.
Matt is awesome glad you got him in a vid.
I love seeing 2 different people who love 2 different activities come together and try new things you gained a new sub!!!
Matt is a beast for trying all that. How lucky you all are to have the amazing off road trail system.
Been watching Seth and mtbing for over 5 years, and just got into off roading and MORR this past year. Didn’t realize this was the collab I needed. Matt is an absolute sender on the MTB!!!
Woot, woot, Matt got a new bike. And he's a great rider. Hope to see more of the bike in the background on his channel. Hopefully, on his new weekly ride.
With years of watching your videos (the Florida days), this was truly a great one. Great job on the bike Matt 👍.
Wow, I already had huge respect for Matt and what he does. This video blew my respect for him out of this world.
As as a fellow mountain biker about Matt's age, I wanted to stop him at the beginning of the ride and tell him that the breaks are your friend. When He almost didn't make it up the first ledge, I thought he was going to roll down backwards. Thanks for taking him out the experience the thrill of biking.
Great job sending it Matt!!
Great job setting up the video with Matt and his kids!
Great video, I've never seen mountain biking in this perspective before. It was quite thrilling to watch. Just watched a side of Matt that no one has ever seen before. Well done, Thanks!
I'm impressed. Matt did a great job. I used to ride bikes a lot when I was a kid, into my early teens. But I topped out at close to 6'7", and with cars and girls on my mind, biking was left behind. After marriage, I liked the idea of the mountain biking scene coming up, but there are no mountains in eastern NC to speak of, plus I never found a bike that fit me. Now I'm old and clumsy, but I enjoy your videos. Thanks a lot.
