Thanks for the help @Van Girl Yuka
Power couple! So cool you can push one another!
You guys are such a great team 🤜🤛
Eric, I connected with this video on an emotional level and I really appreciate you making this.
You two are so awesome together. This was so fun, then quite raw to watch. You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. That was awesome 👌
You will get it next time Erick 🤙
The video is solid on its own, but man emotional component of this video is powerful. Really cool stuff Eric.
Come to Oregon Phil. You can snowboard powder and ride your bike on the same day....;-)
+1 it takes guts to push your comfort zone a massive jump, and it takes even more to share the whole emotional journey of it. Respect. Great video!
Also, props to Yuka for being such a supportive partner along the way 👍

Watching him make it put a huge smile on my face, we've all been there and nothing beats that feeling!
The Fk Yeah!!! Sound so satisfying…
Eric, I’ve always enjoyed the storytelling of your videos but this episode is on another level. Your skills as a filmmaker continue to grow and this was a tremendous combination of narrative, cinematography, and editing. Thank you for your dedication to your craft and sharing this intimate look into your being.
Also, submit this to film festivals. Doesn’t matter if they are mountain bike focused. This is a story of ambition, struggle, and perseverance.
And not to be overlooked: Yuka. Super supportive. There for every step. As impressive as she is for her riding skill, this video showcases her amazing quality as a person.
+1 for Yuka. What a gem!
One of my favorite things about your channel is that you're never afraid to share your failure (which is way too strong a word of this but I digress...). And you always seem to get it in the end. But this one was extra awesome. I literally threw my arms up and cheered aloud when you cleared that fucker. Great video, Sir. Loved every minute.
👍
Holy crap, Eric! That was so amazingly intense and raw. I was hovered over my desk intensely during all those case attempts, then when you got the send, I jumped up with my fist up in the air for your victory.
What a load of bollocks
The montage starting at 14:30 was one of the best-edited sequences in mountain biking history. Watching frustration can sometimes feel annoying, but this felt thrilling!
Completely agree, it was riveting cinema
Absolutely! Love the real and honest emotion Eric shares!
Definitely agree. I felt every bit of that frustration and emotion. Beautifully done for such an intense moment.
Damn, this one had me emotional for sure. I felt like I was right there with you. I think we’ve all experienced this mental block before, but you did a phenomenal job with the editing and storytelling to take us along. Major props on getting past this one.
haven't seen such level of emotion yet on the channel. Major props for having the courage to finally getting it done, overcoming your mental block, the duo you two are and having the balls to show all of the moments and emotions!
I love how you put this video together. At first it made me frustrated
“Eric, just do it”
But then it made me realize how frustrated you must be. The amount of dedication you put into riding back up just to go down and fail. If there’s a lesson to learn here kids, don’t give up. You may fail, once, twice or a hundred times. But if you don’t give up you can get there, trust the process. Well done Eric, proud of you.
Thanks for always keeping it real Eric - we need more of this on youtube. And congrats on not stopping until you sent it!

Watching this to the end has instantly made it one of my favorite mountain bike you tube videos of all time. I never post in comments but wanted to thank you for keeping it real Eric and showing the true emotion of over coming your fears and concurring goals. Huge props to Yuka for keeping the patience. You two are a true partnership. KEEP IT YOU YOU TWO!!!!
So impressive Eric! It always fills me with anxiety watching you do countless run ups, bails, and fails on features that are getting in your head. It's amazing how immersed and connected the experience is. I was tearing up after you finally cleared that step up. I'm also on the journey to hit bigger jumps and conquer my fear of gaps.
Damn! That was an emotional trip. Was not expecting the feels at the end of this video. Amazing job, Eric.
Incredible video, as always! I thought this one was one of your best videos... the physical, emotional, and mental toll it took for you to clear the jump reminded me of all the things I've struggled with in this way. It was really inspiring to see, and as you said, showed us that you're human. I feel motivated not only in terms of mountain biking, but in life in general, to keep going, trying one more time, until finally, after so much effort, you've completed it. The relief you felt was coming through the screen, and reminded me of the relief we all feel after finishing a daunting task. So thank you Eric, for pushing through and motivating so many of us out there to keep pushing. Thank you Yuka for staying with him and helping him make it. You should never have to go it alone.
On another note, if you are traveling down the coast, you should come check out the riding in San Francisco. There is a lot more to be had than one would expect. Just check out trailforks and most of the trails will be there. Might be interesting to make a video on it. Otherwise, check out Pacifca for some of the more gnarly things in the Bay Area.
Safe travels, and stay gnarly!
THIS, is why you’re the best content creator out there.
This video really moved me, and was perfectly composed at the level of profesional documentaries. In addition, you both are a wonderful couple considering the patience nd support you give each other.
As a non-mountain biking mom of an 11-year old dedicated biker, thank you, Eric, for being a true role model for my son. Thank you for being brave enough and vulnerable enough to cry onscreen. Thank you for asking those hard questions out loud. Kudos. 👏🏻🙏🏻
One of the best, most realistic (and relatable) riding videos out there. Thanks Eric, will be a frequent re-watch!
That was incredible. Your emotional out pour at the end was amazing. I love the way you hug Yuka. You didn’t give up Eric. You conquered your fear which is a great takeaway for us watching. This is why I watch both of your channels. There is such a human and humble quality to your content. Yes, what we might consider our failures can lead to feeling embarrassed. In the end, you kicked ass!! Nice work!
As a beginner myself watching you inspires me. That struggle is how I feel on even real small jumps. Scares the hell out of me. Part of it is my bike does not inspire confidence in my riding. You and Yuka are great examples of what can be accomplished if you try, use your head, and practice. Congrats on landing these jumps!
same! i'm new to it and everything scares the hell out of me!!!
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
This is so much more than a mountain bike video. The emotion, the editing, the scenery, the commentary - all put together so well. Thank you for sharing, evoked emotions I didn't think I'd find in another trail video.
As a long time subscriber and viewer of your channel, that was one of the most emotional videos I have ever watched. It brought a tear to my eye when you finally conquered it. I have so much admiration for the fact that you post the whole story, not just you sending it first time and making it look easy. You are super lucky to have a Yuka to tow you in. Stay gnarly.
My wife and I watch every one of your and Van Girl Yuka's videos. We loved loved LOVED this one. The dedication, your vulnerability, and most importantly, the amazing partnership you and Yuka have. What an amazing and inspirational marriage! Your emotional outlet left us with big feelings and maybe even a few waterworks. Thank you thank you thank you.
this is just a pure masterpiece as it is the presentation of how many emotions mountain biking brings to us. I love that you embrace it.
I wonder how many attempts you had in the end on the big jump ? I lost the count. :)
Also huge props to the trail builder, looks like a fun to ride.
That primal scream and emotion after completing that jump is why we keep coming back to this channel. That's as real as it gets on TH-cam. Well done, sir. Super Yuka is also awesome.
It was never about beating the jump, it was about winning that battle with yourself, inside your own head. Anyone trying to progress at anything has this battle, its the one of toughest fights in life. Well done for winning and thank you for sharing it with us.
@@dezzydiamond7121 I actually think TH-cam does this to content creators. The need to finish a vid or to get every feature is kind of the wrong driving factor. It's probably not the intended outcome to complete it for the video, but when the video is your livelihood you would want to tick every feature off. Scary to think how creators are affected by this sort of thing. Good example is that nikocado avocado dude, he's destroying his life for views. Might be time for a TH-cam break. Have a holiday and just ride, no filming or anything.
@@Thematty635 Booth you and Dezzy make good points. I never considered the long term impact on content creators. Watching BCPOV for a while I believe its fair to say we have seen an increase in his anxiety while riding and a lot of us have been there. The bitch abut anxiety is that the more you think about the worse it gets. As leaders in our sports I hope content creators know we appreciate the battle and authentic real events. There was recent video by Remi M where he didn't finish a feature and there was nothing but respect from the audience.
Having said all that, we all have inner demons we need to outcome and for that I applaud BCPOV. Do it for yourself, not us observers.
Thank you for this video. It's so important to see that, regardless of skill and experience level, we are all capable of sometimes getting into our own heads and letting fear hinder what we're capable of.
That release was HUGE! nothing to be ashamed off :)
Congratz on conquering that jump!
Yuka is such a boss haha "now I can see, that's easy...do it!"
Well done you guys :)
Wow. No cheating in here. Your videos are always honest - and human. I feel this sport is amazingly hard, can bring joy, but is frightening too. That's what courage is all about: accepting to be embarrassed, or to fail. Accepting to be yourself. And even more: accepting to show it to us. Thanks Eric!
So. I was on those trails that day and heard someone yell "fuck yeah" while I was on the climb road. Guess it was you! So proud of you for sticking with it. That trail is way above my skill so I don't ride it. So cool to see you pushing your limits and struggling through. It's inspiring to the rest of us. Thanks for sharing!
When was this filmed? Wish I had known the trails were in such good shape even after the rains last month. How many dry days does it take to get rideable out there?
@@rcranes2227 about 2 dry days and the third will be rideable. That trail system does pretty well with rain. This weekend should be prime!
This line is lovely fast and smooth. This guy shouldnt of been on it really. You need to show no fear.. The rule of thumb is on a bike you bottled it 3 times then you shouldnt be doing it and crying like a baby over a small jump proves that
@@budman8926
I have to disagree. This video shows that he had the desire to want to clear the jump but had to get over his mental block and sometimes that takes more than three tries. Ever been to a practice session with pros? Dave Lieb and Nicholi Rogatkin are friends of mine and phenomenal slope style riders, yet when they're trying new tricks, sometimes they'll try it 10+ times to get it just right.
I give Eric credit for sticking with it and not giving up even when he felt completely defeated trying to get over his mental block.
@@budman8926 I’ll need to disagree with you on this one. I’m sure Eric sticks to the 3 time only rule in most scenarios and that’s a very important rule, but, in life there are always exceptions. This is definitely a learning moment for him, and even though he cleared it, he has a lot to evaluate, on how to know in which scenario is it worth to keep pushing. When it comes to most of us, while riding a bike, its just about riding the bike. Eric has a TH-cam channel dedicated for mountain biking, and the parameter and types of thoughts he has to deal with is completely different. It’s okay to give constructive criticism, but I did not appreciate you using the phrase ‘crying like a baby’, because that feels more like a judgement and not you providing your opinion from experience. Again, this is my opinion, its important to disagree, and I’d encourage you to showcase that without being judgmental.
I could really feel the joy and relief of having made it myself! What a goosebumps moment! Good job!!! And kudos to Yuka, how can she make it look so easy?
Thank you for being so vulnerable on camera with us. This is a remarkable achievement, and I’m glad you shared it uncensored
Man watching you finally land that almost made me teary, I feel like we all landed it with you! I love watching your videos because I constantly do this exact same thing with stuff a hundred times smaller and it always feels so good and inspiring to watch you conquer that fear. Nicely done!
I love the fact that your videos are real, the fact that you show your emotions, the good and the bad! Good job for the two of you!
Awesome video, love the emotion. Every rider knows that feeling of frustration whether it's failing to clear a tough climb, hit a big jump, or just hit a line at the speed you know you can. To finally be able to check it off your list is the best. Great work.
Dude, you're a badass! These are my local trails and that run is no joke and it's designed so oddly, you crushed it! Great job!
I feel for your struggles. I don't ride MTB anymore because I always felt like you do. I have changed to gravel and find it much better for me. Thank you for sharing your struggles. Not everyone has giant balls all the time 🤣 and that's ok!!
You're a huge inspiration, Eric. I'm proud of you for never giving up! You have such an awesome support with Yuka being so patient with you and helping you conquer your fear. Much love to both of you!
Awesome video Eric! By far the best one yet, it was so cool watching your struggle and how perfectly you captured your headspace leading up to that step up. Yuka is a trooper, I can see how much she cares about you. You guys are amazing, keep making amazing content!
I understand that feeling of overcoming the mental battle. Well done.
Major props Eric! I would have said "f__K it" and moved on, especially after the OTB incident. Your determination and drive is amazing. Try to remember the feeling you had on the last one, the one you cleared, and channel that for future challenges. You have a great support system in Yuka and you are an excellent rider with top skills. You got this! Bob T.
Grand job, Eric! What I like the most about your channel is your human side, seeing that you have exactly the same weaknesses we have, but showing us how perseverance works. Congrats!
Yuka never fails to amaze me. I wish I had that level of confidence and courage. I often suffer from that same mental block. Better to pass when uncomfortable and live to ride another day.
@@lolux6577 while i know where you come from i think you doing her wrong. From time to time she is loosing control but overall she become a very skilled rider in the last year!
@@lolux6577 Some of the cases in this vid show how Yuka and Eric both need to work on their jumping, it really annoys me how they don't learn properly on smaller jumps then do bigger ones . Completely agree with you mate.
SIUUUUUMMMM
@@lolux6577 opinions vary, I can only assume from yours that you must be one hell of a mountain bike rider. Otherwise it is coming off sounding a little dickish.
@@lolux6577 come on man. You don’t just accidentally land all the stuff she has without skill. An unskilled rider would be a broken mess by now. Give some credit where it’s due. And also, don’t wait for her to get hurt and then run here saying “I told you so”…it’s a dangerous sport and EVERYONE gets hurt eventually.
Been following you for years now. I always loved your honesty. Not hiding anything from us. Even the hard truth of being a normal human with struggles and fears. I do feel connected to you and these emotions you showed here. You keep it real, that's a real strength. Your videos make me feel like it's ok to face all these difficulties, and that with a strong will, you can overcome huge challenges. Compared to most other channels where all I see is freaking aliens easily succeeding at everything they attempt, making me feel like a failure. So I wanted to thank you, and keep up your great work here.
That was very inspiring, for you to show your emotions from overcoming your fear. This is the type of video that shows us all that we’re just human. It’s an important lesson not just in mountain biking, but in life. Kudos to you for putting it all out there. And congrats and smashing that step up!
Fear is what keeps us alive! Crashing hurts more and recovery takes longer at our age. I am very happy you made this video. This is how I feel on 90% of the jumps I face. I also enjoy watching how well you and your wife work together and support each other. I wish you well on your winter trip down here in the states.
This vid is why you are one of the best story tellers on TH-cam, great job. Real stuff not just edited hero clips.
I love the way you two ride together and inspire each other...
I cried for you too man. When I saw you were going back I felt so pumped for you. And to see you keep trying and conquering yourself really made something click in my head. Thanks for being BCPOV and shout out to Yuka for being a dope ass fucking partner. 🙌
You’re a legend mate. The fact you share your vulnerabilities and struggles is what makes this channel great. Nice job!
As a fellow MTB rider and a filmmaker, I just wanted to say that this was an excellent video. And is maybe the best video you've ever made. Kudos to you for keeping it real and raw
Wow I can't even imagine that feeling of clearing the jump! Thank you so much for sharing all your feelings about this!
What an astoundingly cathartic moment!!! I really appreciate the honesty in your videos. As a 46 yr old rider who road cross country through his 30's then got it in my head to do DH/freeride starting at 42 this is SO RELATABLE! I truly appreciate the honesty of your videos, keep up the great work Eric!
I love the vulnerability, perseverance (wow!) and ultimate victory! I've been mountain biking since '87 (yes, I'm dating myself) and have only just started jumping, so injury is not something someone at my age wants to experience. But catching air, big or small, really does bring immense joy and happiness. The rush is unmistakable! And so practice, practice, practice. Thanks for the reinforcement!
It was awesome to hear that much genuine excitement and emotion from you, Eric. Very brave and cool of you to share it. Keep being that amazing inspiration that you are to so many people.
Thanks for sharing
Yuka's patience is amazing. That's love.
The line when you say…why do we do this😂 really struck home! I’m 50 and literally just started to hit jumps 6 months ago. It’s fun, but I know my limits….also I need to be able to get up in the morning and go to work😆
I don’t normally comment on videos and I’m not an emotional person, maybe it’s just the fact that it’s my hobby combined with being in that exact position before but this video had me breaking down. It pulled at me in ways that I don’t even understand but it also showed me that I’m not alone in feeling that way, knowing I should be able to do it, my skills are there but I can’t get out of my head. What a powerful piece of art.
Damn man, good job. Busting through that mental wall and hearing your relief at the end was crazy. Thanks for letting us be a part of this struggle.
On another note, seeing Yuka progress so much so quickly during this video is crazy, I cannot get over how she can just decide to do something and it happens. Inspiration for everyone.
What a beautiful moment of strength to share with the world. True courage!
Every mountain biker that tries to push their own limits have experienced the frustration that relates to a feature. The post aftermath of succeed is what keeps the stoke alive for the sport. Nicely done documenting what really happens behind the scenes. Stoked for you to land that step up.
So many TH-camrs show these great trails being crushed with out fear. That is not the way I ride. The fear is real! Thanks for showing that mountain biking is a progression of skill and comfort. One moves with the other, but never at the same time. Great job!
Man this is just the essence of action sports captured so perfectly. I love how raw this is and that you kicked that jump's ass in the end. Unreal video Eric!
This was an amazing video, with our without a happy ending. It is so real. Thanks for creating it. Also massive cred to Yuka for the support throughout.
Fucking hell bless you man, that was such an awesome celebration I really felt that one 💜 well done guys that was epic as usual
I love how you walk us through your trials on that feature! As someone who can deeply relate to your hesitancy to take on large features thank you for being vulnerable in your videos and letting us know how you take on these challenges. So awesome! This is my favorite MTB video.
Being afraid, recognizing it, showing it, and still doing the thing you are afraid of is true bravery!
well said
Yuka is such a boss! she's got more confidence than some of the people ive been riding with for over a decade!
Congratulations to you and Yuka for sending it! Absolutely huge! Amazing editing as well, the last 5 minutes had me literally sitting on the edge of my seat.
Kudos once again for showing you're human, the dedication to run in so many times is admirable, and to eventually still send it with that ever growing mental block from each run in makes it all the more impressive. I loved that yuka also was happy to tow you in again and again, you guys make an awesome team together! Thanks for the content as always Eric, keep it up!
Sorry I'm late to this but as a 51 year old just getting back into mountain biking the last couple of years, it's amazing watching the struggles and success of a sport I love so much. The story telling is what makes this a great video and good on you for having the courage to show the struggles, something we don't see very often on TH-cam mtb videos.
I think it might be a good idea to take tumbling lessons from a gymnast over the winter. You really need to fall into a roll rather than into your wrists all the time. Falls will hurt a lot less and you will take much less injuries.
I know he is mainly a stunt/jump biker, but he also does a lot of down hill stuff, but take a look at some of Sam pilgrims falls. He rolls out of every fall then gets back on like it never happened.
Emotions are human, all are valid, and you should always allow yourself to feel them. The emotions when you succeeded, was one of the best parts of the video for me, and I’m glad you left it in.
Dude! Love watching you battle with a feature and then finally conquer it. It’s a very refreshing, honest and ‘human’ way of shooting a trail video. Not all of us can hit massive jumps with ease and it’s so good to see you document the process of risk and reward. Keep up the good work Eric 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Bravo 👏👏. Not just for sending the jump but for showing your humanness 💛
I ride this trail pretty regularly as a Portland native and like usual, the video does no justice for the size of some of these jumps. That step up is massive and insanely intimidating. Ive never even come close to trying to send it as Im still what youd call a beginner (I can do from the tree "goalpost" drop down on this trail) so dont feel bad about being nervous for that jump. The videos do it no justice (duh) - that thing is a monster. Even the jumps leading up to it are intimidating, crazy steep lips and not much room for error. Great job overcoming and conquering that feature! Also fun to see our local trails on a youtubers videos :-).
i ride sandy ridge usually once a week and the funny thing is i usually avoid all the jumps at the top, but the only one i've ever actually sent is that step up. I don't know why but one time i just went for it and it worked
@@NubeCubes same! Idk why but that one just seemed like one of the easier ones to work up the confidence for to me (it being stepped up)
@@maxfenger4655 yeah that’s probably why. Step ups feel like less risk to me
This is absolutely incredible! Loved every second. I got genuine chills at the end there.
Dude your channel is such an inspiration to all of us that watch. It takes a whole lot of confidence to put that up on the internet but you do it and I think everyone is happy you did. Thanks for making my day and stay gnarly 🤘.
What a way to tell a story, I didn't even blink in the whole video because if how much I was enjoying this, masterpiece!
I really liked the editing of the struggle. It’s shows how hard somethings are to get over, specially the mind work you have to do and conquer to succeed with the riding. Great work and great film!
Thanks for being vulnerable and showing your human side. We all have the fear; it’s just what you do with it. Nice work Eric!!
I’ve been on this route once and it all looked HUGE.
That was an amazing video. It captured your frustration mixed with a raging determination finally leading to success and relief. And that is why I love your channel. You don't just pull out the good parts. You show the struggle that we can all identify with. Awesome.
Me and my 10yrs old are admiring your perseverance, great exemple Eric.
im not even through this video but i had to stop and comment - one of my favorite things about this channel as well as Yuka's is the fact you guys dont sugar coat anything. you keep it real & honest. Being able to edit together a vidoes gives content creators the ability to cut out whatever they want (ie fails) but you dont. Its really nice to see people react as that - real people. Fears and injury are real & the fact that you are not afraid to say "no, i cant this time" on camera is awesome! Just goes to show not everyone is perfect at what they do no matter how big of a following they have.
This is by far the best video on this channel. After you cleared that jump I wanted to cry with you. We could really feel the emotions through this amazing video. Your also so courageous to show people your feelings, emotions and failures. I’m pretty sure this has given a lot sense to the video. It’s not only about watching someone riding a black trail. It’s more about understanding the rider and learning from he’s mistakes and thoughts at different moments to improve your mental strength because it all comes down to your mental.
To conclude, I would like to thank you Eric for showing us your weaknesses but also your strength to come back and overcome your most frustrating situation. This is truly an exemple to follow!!!
On top of all the other comments on the emotional release, I have to also add you did a really get job on the "cinematography" and how you really built up the suspense of the challenge. The music, the frenetic pace of the video at the end, etc.. Really well done
Possibly the best mtn bike video I have ever seen that speaks to us average riders that are always figuring out how to balance fear and progression. Thanks for creating content we can all relate to. It is appreciated!
Awesome job committing and just letting it go that last time.
Hope you're having fun visiting Oregon, and good seeing you and @VanGirlYuka yesterday too.
you never stopped, you never gave up, you dug deep and broke your fear, congrats man, welcome to the the otherside!
Nothing inspires more than a person overcoming their fears and failures. You are an inspiration. Both of you in different ways.
Haha always easier than you think! Stoked you documented all that progression.
God, that emotional release must have been overwhelming! It was never about clearing the jump, you knew you could do it. It was overcoming the fear, which a very, very powerful experience. Excellent video Eric :-)
Massive props on showing this side of riding that most people are to scared to show. I tend to look at fear as self doubts you tell yourself and to take a deep look at yourself and tell that side of you you're wrong, I am better, and capable, takes alot. Good on you brother
Wow the emotion from you after clearing that step up 😯 I know what it’s like to have a mental block like that. And the more you tried and fail, the harder it becomes. The relief after is amazing, so I can only imagine what it was like after clearing this. Well done, amazing 👌🏻
The level of honesty and bravery that you bring to your videos is rare these days. Thanks for not editing out real life ... its rarely as seamless and hassle free as depicted in most other content. Keep on jamming you two
Damn it Eric! I teared up immediately when you did! Normally i don´t struggle a lot with my mental game but i could still relate so much with your situation! For sure one of your best videos so far! So happy for you that you conquered that Knuckle-Monster!
Wow. That got real. Happy we got to see you succeed, but even happier that you shared your very real emotions. Respect.
I always find myself cheering you guys on, but especially with this video. I think this is one of your best, I'm sure you could only convey half the amount of raw emotions you were feeling that day but I was feeling them too. I was cheering and crying by the end. Congrats on checking that whole list. Also great shots of my home state.
I am new to mountain biking I just started about two months ago but I was watching a lot of videos before I actually committed to buying one. Now I have a bike and I love riding it. Where I live there isn’t the biggest trails but they are still a lot of fun. But I just want to say I love how real you keep it on your channel. There are things people just aren’t comfortable doing and not all videos show that. They just show the shredding aspect and glory of it all. I love that BCpov shows the sketchy and scary side of trail riding and that sometimes even very skilled riders are pushed to their limits and are over all human like the rest of us. I love your videos and hope your keep making them. Thank you for the inspiration!
And Yuka as well! I can’t leave her out either. You guys are an awesome team. Thanks for the videos
Damn that was intense! such an emotional rollercoaster! Cheers Eric, always a pleasure to watch your vids 👊
If it doesn’t challenge it can’t change you! You won the battle against yourself! That was amazing to watch! Congrats! Thanks for sharing!
