I've never been so muddy on a mountain bike | Big Sky Biggie 2023 

Good for you for stopping...you were willing to stop even if it meant falling behind for yourself. Thanks for being a good human.

Between Dave's narration and Christine's self talk, I feel like I've ridden a very picturesque Disney ride. Y'all are so inspiring!

That was so kind of you to stop and help her fix her bike. ❤

Best race video I've ever seen. The filming, editing, self talk, trail interactions, wrap up. You made this fun for all of us watching on RU-vid. Thank you so much.

Dave, thank you for stopping to help the other biker. So much respect for you guys. You don't realize how challenging bike riding is until you see it through your eyes.

What a great video!! Watching both of you go through the ride was just like being there. You’re encouragement for yourselves and others is so sweet.

You are all an inspiration. Love that you did this as a family❤ They say mud is good for your skin 😂

Wow! Those were some wicked hairpin turns that you handled beautifully, Christine! Awesome ride! I’m impressed!

I turned on this video, not even 10 min into it. I told my husband, "Let's go for a bike ride". We rode 12 miles and came back home and finished watching your video. I'm proud of your kiddos for doing this race. You are amazing parents and inspiring positive people I love to watch. I love charities glasses she wears during the race. Would you mind sharing the brand or where I can get them. You and Christine are a power couple. Thank you for this awesome video!

I love Cristine's self talk. It is exactly how I am with a tough adventure. You guys rocked it !!

You guys are so kind and encouraging! Definitely letting your light shine. And also definitely made me want to get back on my bike.

That felt like VR! I was leaning & turning right along with you! You all are such an inspiration! Those views were fantastic!

❤ great job everyone! Very impressive.

I bet that was a beast going up but those downhills 😍😍 like those downhill coasters in the mountains

Another brilliant video. Thanks. You all did amazing.

Very cool! Thanks so much for taking us along.

The USA gravel nationals was just this last weekend in my hometown. It was awesome to support so many people

Congratulations to all of you!

Omg so beautiful but to me absolutely terrifying going so fast on those little trails

That was fantastic to watch!!! Christine's commentary kills me - so awesome!!!

You guys rock! all of you! Christine is so funny in her self talk. You go girl!

Great job to all of you! You all rocked!

Love these! Dang Dave you’re so fast!! Christine, I would also tell myself constantly, “you got this” over and over

I lovee Christine's don't fall just don't fall. The whole time I am like "what is frugalfitdad's name?" I was blank then you were like come on David! Love watching these fun videos without having to do the work!

Way to go guys! Christine you kicked butt!

Great job family!

Awesome job to you all.

Great job! You put a lot of work into the opening. 🙌 I loved when you called yourself, “David!”. These videos are so motivating. Thanks

This was so much fun to watch.

Oh wow beautiful scenery beautiful people I love you guys you all did so well and are such good people - and Christine's "don't fall in the River' mantra made me smile and I'm glad you didn't 😊

Congrats you guys!

IDK how I would be able to go down these paths when they are sooooo close to the side, downhill....But you all did so well! Wow! Not bad for "IDK what I wanna do" at the beginning of the year HAHA You guys are so nice, I can't believe it. Dave helping the girl, everyone asking if the other person on the side is good, Christine complementing the woman on her shorts, everyone was so nice! I see you Tyler with that face! :'DDDDD Congrats! I might use this video for my indoor bike later today, we just got it a few weeks ago and I'm trying to find videos that really motivate me and suck me into that world so to say...

Way to go guys! Awsome finishes

You all make me want to do this so bad! Love Christines self talkes.

❤ I can’t believe, y’all had me watching this all the way to the end 😂 !! Great job, family! 🎉 I could never do this, because there were too many squirrels!! 😂 I would have been stopped by every single view ❤ Beautiful

I kept getting so anxious for you all! You did awesome❤

You know it’s serious when someone uses your formal first name…even if that someone is you 😅. Good job pushing through Dave and Christine. The views and commentary made for a beautifully relaxing video. 21:29

Great video

Wowza, this is like a simulation…my anxiety was higher just watching…can’t even imagine doing it in real life! 😂The views were amazing but to Christine’s point, all I’d be able to think about is “stay on the bike” 😂

Congratulations on 3rd place Christine!! And awesome effort to both of you it looked like a tough course!!

Lovely family!🤭🤭

Subbed in first grade today and I read a story about murals. I described a mural that I had ridden past and how it made me feel. “You ride a bike?” I’m 72, one of my riding friends is 86. We ride for only an hour on rr trails.

Great job! Got 48th behind you. Brutal race, at leastfor me. Going next year?

Maybe next year you would like to try the Dalmac Lansing to mackinaw race over labor day week.

Good job both of you. When it's muddy like that does it help to stop and clean the tire 9ff with a stick or something?

I love watching these but I also get nauseous watching it lol. It’s my fear of ledges. PS. Good sportsmanship when you helped that rider.

Terrifying!!!

Wait - how did you get the magnificent aerial footage!?

Can explain in the next video about why you change gears, when and what happens then.

Do you all ride as a family in these races or is it every person for themselves and then you wait on everybody at the finish line?

Christine is very Dory-esk, giving just keep swimming vibes. Those mountain edges would kill me what if you slipped off in the mud😢
