I've met most of my friends and built my life around riding mountain bikes and dirt jumping. We ride with our friends in Ecuador at Rumi Bike Park in Quito, of course helped out with digging and made a lot of new friends!

I love they way you parent! Always complementing them. Milo and Owen are Shredders! Keep it up!

I ride trails tacky ones😊

@Mikesonbikes Год назад

Amen to this. It's harder to make friends on linear trails than it is on a jump loop. I love that we can all watch eachother rip, coach and cheer eachother on at the jumps. We have a great scene in our area. Gotta love the jumps, man

@PorterMTB Год назад

That's a good point, easy to not see anyone on a trail ride, but jumps definitely bring everyone together to build and ride!

Super fantastic guys. It's so much fun watching the kids progress. Keep up the fun guys. Our whole family gets psyched when we see a new video pop up. If you guys ever make it towards NY we'd love to ride with ya.

@PorterMTB Год назад

That's so awesome to hear, thanks!! I'd love to get the family out to the NE to ride, there are so many fun bikeparks and trails, maybe next year??

@eightwheeladventures Год назад

@@PorterMTB Yes stick it on the calendar for next year. Lol. We are hoping to do the same in New England next year. There's a couple smaller bike parks pretty close to us that we are going to try and take the kids to this summer. The little one (who is Owen's age) needs to work on her skills a bit more first before we let her loose with lifts and such. Lol

@PorterMTB Год назад

It is definitely scary starting to actually turn the kids loose a bit in a bike park, I've tried hard to encourage and facilitate slow steady progression and growth with them, but it's hard to hold them back for sure!

@eightwheeladventures Год назад

@@PorterMTB Yeah I'm sure it's a bit scary to let them loose. You definitely taught Milo and Owen well. Their progression in what feels like a short time is amazing. Our kids are still in the beginning stages. We got them involved in ROOTZ here which is a kids mountain bike club run by a whole ton of volunteers. Kids get split into age/skill groups and they go off once a week learning skills. What a difference. It's fun to see them bring those skills back when we go out riding. I guess the mentors are a better teacher than Dad. Lol.

@RyanCranage Год назад

If I didn’t go to the local abandoned bmx track and build jumps with my friends I’m not sure what I’d be doing today. I had brain cancer a few years ago but riding bikes and building jumps isn’t gonna stop anytime soon. 😊

@PorterMTB Год назад

I feel the same way, building and riding jumps gave me direction and meaning in life. Glad you're doing better from the brain cancer, that's scary. Keep ripping!!

those jumps are staple of your life and channel Eric and helped made by a legend who is Kelly McGarry its nice that you have his jumps so i guess you can ride with him at home rip love your channel as well are you and the family going to whistler this year as the boys riding has very much improved i can bet they will be showing you new lines and sending it on ride don't slide well may not ride don't slide lol

@Forestamp2024 Год назад

When you are making wooden take off, r u shaping them in the way as you would shape a quarterpipe ramp.. I want to make mine, but idk how steep should they be, especially as a beginner. Thank you very much

@PorterMTB 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it's just like making a quarterpipe! The radius is dependent on the size of the jump and the speed and how steep you want it, but I'd say start small and mellow and go from there! If there are any other jumps you like at a bikepark you try copying them as well.

Hey! That's awesome you're riding, just keep having fun and pick one thing to work on each day. The best thing you can do is always keep in fun and work on slowly improving, there's no rush. Set your goals just a little bit beyond where you're at now, so they are attainable.
