As a disabled person, your videos remind me of things I miss being able to do. They reconnect me with nature and the amazing things out in the world. Thank you so much for making these videos

This exactly! I'm also disabled and I totally agree. I'd love to go mountainbiking but I know I can't even feasibly try (severe visual impairment + mobility issues make it a very bad idea for me to try, probably bad for anyone else on and near the trail too). There are lots of other things like skiing that I have the same problem with. I know I shouldn't try these things logically, but I still can't get it out of my head. At least watching these videos I can get sort of an idea of what it's like to do these things and that's such a big help. Even though I still want to go mountainbiking and skiing and all sorts of other stuff like that.

I love how Yuka's fearlessness is able to push you and give you confidence, great teamwork!

Keep an eye out for her next video, it's all about teamwork :)

Your honesty is refreshing and makes you highly relatable. I think we would all like a Yuka to test things for us but there is only one Yuka and she's yours. Love your work.

Nice work Eric. That step up is absolutely massive. It's one of those features that videos really does it huge disservice, but it's probably one of the best bike park jumpsI've ever hit.

Nice name you got there

Good for you Eric! I like that you're not a great big Alpha Male that thrives on adrenaline and arrogance. You're an inspiration for the rest of us normal folk that shows tenacity gets the job done.

I truly appreciate this video. It is always a struggle with me to believe my skill set is good enough for some things I’m afraid of. It’s refreshing to watch someone I consider and absolute shredder to still go through the same emotions I do on my rides. Thanks for keeping it real. And hey, congrats on really pulling it together and trusting in yourself.

Everyone does its crazy weather they are a pro or a first timer its pretty funny. Mental strength is key look at something but not too long seems like when you do that fear starts to take over and your more likely not to try it. Its nice when you can have someone to tow ya in that alone has helped me progress this year way more than i could have imagined.

Fun day! Great session with you and Yuka

Agreed! i was also there with you guys sessioning the hip with as much air as i could

Coming back to mtb after 15 years after the accident was scary. I was out of shape and will to ride even basic city trails… got myself an ebike to be “out” more and started using less and less of the support. Once I was comfortably doing 40-50km on a rather heavy bike I got myself an enduro bike (giant reign sx) and started riding trails near me - not even close to what you have there! But after a month I signed up for an enduro race and despite being last (I wasn’t last on any of the sections but overall time combined I was last) I was happy as I managed to prep for it within 2 months and finished the entire thing within the time constraints I was given :) 45km and 1700m elevation gain in 5.5h :D beforehand I was watching a ton of videos on KZread, including yours! All of them helped me be in a proper mindset and understand that it’s okay if even trying a feature require a mindset and some good preparation. We’re no longer 15-20 yo where you “just go”. Thanks to your videos (and many others!) I learned to find a best approach to learning new features. Today I was helping someone else clear two new jumps :) it felt good to be on the other side of the tow ;D

Sick edit bro

9:36 Mad respect for the legend on the BMX

I can only imagine how huge these trail must be without the GoPro effect. You and Yuka are more skillful than I will ever be, and trails like Dirt Merchant can still make you pause. I realize how completely overwhelmed I'd be, lol. Thank God for green trails, lol. Signed, a complete novice, in awe.

Wow, what an amazing vid again. I love how you got so much better at just… SENDING IT! Keep up the good work💪

watching this video felt like watching a movie, everytime i watch one of your videos it makes me want to travel bc and all the other places you and yuka go. thank you guys so much for what you are doing in times like these it makes me look forward to going home because i can watch your videos. thank you so much(:

More than any other videos yours motivate me to want to take on scarier features, because you address the process and show the vulnerability we all have.

I have to say, I've been binging your content and I'm not even a mountain biker. I've never been interested in it so there's something else keeping me glued to your channel. IT'S THE STORY TELLING! Our content couldn't be more different (I make movie props) but I've learned and been inspired by so much in your videos. STORY. You can make anyone watch anything if you tell them a story and you're kind of amazing at it. Thank you!

A few things I really like about your videos is that they're not just all the highlighted clips, you talk about real life problems you face when riding and you're not afraid to say things like I wasn't feeling to good about myself and mental blocks. you then go on to show us how you move on, get your head in check, come back then and over come it. we go through this to so we can relate to it a lot, we learn from it and it helps us to progress so I just wanted to say thank you and great work over coming your fear, absolutely great work :)

Mountain biking is such an odd sport. Watching someone else “fail” unlocks success. But, anyone who mountain bikes understands these mental battles. Nice job breaking through

Thanks for getting me into Mountain Biking again Eric!

One of the best videos you've posted and I have watched Eric. Mad admiration to your editing skills plus, your story telling rythm. The music added was just on point. First time leaving a comment doesn't mean this is the only video I enjoyed. Huge respect, keep it up and stay safe mister.

Nice Eric! I love the feeling of progression on the bike. Always fun watching you and Yuka get after it as well.

My heart is so happy this week with all the stellar mtb content, ack! Thanks for being so open and honest, you slayed your dragon!

it's unbelievable for a guy that cautious and bit scared of consequences how many injuries you've got by the time. cheers and keep it coming! wish I had that patience in my riding...

This transparency is super inspiring to me, puts a 🔥 in me to learn and conquer more! Excellent edit as well, and the thumb nail looks sick 🤘

I love your videos. I can feel the fear we all go through. Awesome vids

I have to say Eric watching your progression on jumps is awesome. I like that you're honest about your fears. And eventually you do it. I also like your trick that you do when warming up to the jump that you talked about a few videos back. Doing run ups to get the adrenaline going. I use that now. Here's to you buddy. I'm right there with you all the way🤙

Stocked to see you clear Dirt Merchant trail!! I've been waiting for this one and Sick riding, awesome video Dude!!

Your honesty (as well as skills and editing) is what has kept me around for all this time. Thanks for sharing 👍

I love how you take us through the psychology of progression. Inspiring! Thanks Dude 🤙🏼🙏🏼

The way you tell a story, overcome your fears and push through all the challenges is amazing. Would have loved to see you hit that container step up, guess we'll have to wait.

Love your approach to managing your skills/confidence- a nice model for safe progression

Thank you for posting!!! Your channel is Literally the best channel on KZread, can’t wait to watch it but I can’t right now cause I’m in school.

Bro this video is a masterpiece if I’ve ever seen one you did an amazing job with editing and everything big props to you

Yeah, so glad for you Eric!!! Overcoming fear is always the hardest part.

Congrats Eric! You are my favorite youtuber! Love yours and Yuka videos! Greetings from Portugal!

Lovely video Eric, love seeing you progress and beat that mental game, especially on that huge step up! Next year you'll clean that step up onto the container easily! Whenever i don't do jumps for a while i deal with the mental game too but after some riding it always gets better! And damn, someday i want to ride whistler too, just got to practice for another 10 years and then travel half the globe haha.

Love your videos. And i also love your energy and your wife's energy, you are both so positive. Keep up the awesome content👍🤙🏁

Awesome defeat Eric….. I’ve been watching your videos for about a month now and totally inspired by your energy mate! As a intermediate MTB rider you’ve inspired me and my son to send it and have no fear….. keep the awesome videos coming please 🙏🏼 I am now back tracking through your videos for more inspiration.

I enjoy your videos a lot, you and Yuka make a great team. 😃👍🏽

You introduced me to mountain biking and making my own small trail thank you so much 😊.

So much fun Eric! Great video!

Wow, those are some big lines! You're out there making it look easy. Great video!

great video, you guys inspire me and give me hope!

thats the biggest step up ive ever seen, nice one! wish i could be as good as you. (you inspired me to MTB, keep shredding!)

Your hurdles are so relateable! Love your videos!

you give me so much motivation thanks man

Great work Eric- and Yuka!

Hey, Eric, I stumbled across this channel almost a year ago now and as someone who works overnight, I don't have a lot of free time to go out mountainbiking or to find decent places open late enough for me - I need my sleep as I do hard labor. These videos give me comfort when the house is too quiet at 3am and also allows me to get in touch with "the real world" sometimes. Thank you for creating, and I hope you can grow and develop your skills more ....without hurting yourself, hopefully

Good vid man. Keep it up like always

its been so long since i watched one of your vids, i love your videos so much keep up the amazing work

Thanks for the videos, much appreciated. And congrats on your victory over step ups, (even if the container jump is there for next year) I've been watching the step up situation for quite a few vids now and reckon that you've found a strategy that works for mindset. Recently, I've been finding out about how the subconscious mind, and beliefs that we hold in there, and how they are massively powerful in our behaviour. For me, this includes how I go about it on the mtb. So it seems that the subconscious is a garden, and our job is to maintain it. What we let grow in the garden, shapes what happens on your life. So if there are any weeds in the garden, you can remove them and replace them with helpful beliefs, beliefs that like the ones that you reinforced did with repeated runs through trails that you rode really well. It looks like there are other ways too to get in and setup your subconscious to work together with your conscious mind. It may sound a bit intellectual, but having tried out some of this stuff, it is hugely powerful. There's some great vids on youtube talking about how to it, the ones that I've watched include discussions on the work of Joseph Murphy, who has a best selling book about it, and Neville Goddard. There is a guy that goes into depth on KZread talking about these and other authors in the area. His name is Jospeh Rodriguez ( his work is great although I'm in no way affiliated with him). Anyway, I love your vids.Its also great seeing trails in BC where I spent a almost year in my twenties. So I guess this comment is not so much about tech setup or bike parks (which I appreciate), but is more about mind setup for mtb. btw. this is my wife's login, not mine, So Keep strong, remain upright and well done. Cheers Greg

I watch your videos every day and keep up the good work

I love your videos, they inspire me to bike.

Nice job! So encouraging, thank mate!

Rolling up to the closed sign on the container *oh thank god* Dang! Guess I'll just have to hit it some other time....

Super clean your first attempt on the step-up in Dirt Merchant ! You should be proud. Conquer the fear !

Wow at Whistler again!

Eric 1 - Ego 0 FANTASTIC stuff mate, you are the MOST relatable mountain biker on KZread, you talk us through your fears and anxieties and that is a massive help to beginners like me!

Nice work dude. 👏 That big step up still bothers me, I don't know what it is I can ride the rest of the trail but that thing gets in my head every time.

AWE MANNNNN!!! Had biggest smile ever when you cleared the setup. I need some of that pizza and adrenaline

Love your vids

I didn't wanna say this on Remy's channel but having seen you ride some pretty gnarly stuff, it was funny to listen Remy bikesplain stuff to you. LOL!

Somehow back in Whistler now lol

Great to see you back Eric. Would have to say after being off for weeks due to an injury years ago, I would not have been riding A line or Fade to black as the first ride back!! Kudos

I saw u and Yuka in the line I was so excited!!!

Awesome! Had me pulling for you!!

awsome ride bcpov and keep working on those step-ups eric😉

Great job man!

Woaw, awesome video ! Inspiring.

Good vid mate!! I subbed

Inspirational. Yuka is a boss!

What is all this dramatic music and storytelling. Just awesome!

Love the ride videos, but also really hope you have a winter build project coming

Great bear shot at the end. Such cute little cuties.

Wow that great follow cam of Damien Niotis from 6:01-7:21 great no hander lander, and awesome no hander on the moonbooster Damien!!!

Great video and what a great ride.

After becoming a mountain biker, these videos hit different

great edit and progression

The editing in this video is amazing.

another great video!

Nice vid man

Hell yeah! Congratulations!

Great video! I wanna see you progress, and as someone who has done BMX in the past, I highly suggest lowering your seat alllll the way down while hitting those bigger jump lines. Gives you a little more tuck and you can push the bars forward and steez it out! Good job on the step up!

I actually snapped a seat tube landing on the big step up couple years ago. Thought it was hilarious when I realized what happened. Was weird riding down rest of the way with no seat definitely made me realize how how you use it even standing lol.

awesome video i really enjoyed that

Ayyyyy! 🔥🔥🤟 I saw you guys in the line up! My friend fell over on the gate, and almost hit you guys 😂

Great job out there i hope someday i can take a trip here. I can relate on some of these types of features this past weekend i was able to clear the 1st 8 features on fort hill at thunder mountain. Lots of hiking and a good friend to tow me in each time and by my 4 time down the trail i was able to make the dirt to dirt jump which is around 35’ once i got it we hiked back up and hit it again and i was able to continue down the trail and tackle more. You should have a look at this on on my most recent short vid 🤘keep up the great vids man🤘

Only been watching your videos a short while after a friend's told me to check them out and what I've seen so far I think you really doubt your skill if I'm honest, obviously there is risk hitting big jumps but you got it man and watching videos from a few years back to recent ones can see the progression, keep up the good work Love from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Amazing quality video AGAIN

Sempre uno spettacolo!

Well done!!

Nice ride 😊👍🏻👍🏻

I hit the container step-up/drop back in '08, first time I saw it. I was 47 years old .

great haircut Yuka !

Really liking this new-ish video style!

This trail is number one on my bucket list. Hope i get to ride it one day

Great job 👍

Bravo good sir! Maybe next year I can get out to BC to check out some of the trails. I am in New Brunswick, so the terrain is much different. LOL!
