[@vee2425]

As a female mountain biker in my 60's also living on the west coast, Betty is a huge inspiration! Thank you Remy and Betty, for this video. So many of the comments and insights rang true about technique, as well as mindset as we age. The nice thing about being an older rider, is that I don't feel a need to impress anyone anymore, and am confident enough to say "no" when I need to, so that I can enjoy the ride based on how I feel that day, work to continually improve, and feel a sense of accomplishment for the small wins. I'd love to ride with Betty but I don't know if I could keep up! :D

[@robertgeorge2833]

Yes, agreed whole heartedly about no need to impress anyone, nor bow to the pressure of doing stuff that is sketch. Although there's a fine line between honing one's skills and doing stuff beyond one's skills. Only one to impress is yourself, so keep that in mind when checking out that 5 foot drop.

[@johnchristopher5075]

It’s not about “keeping up”, it’s about “being with” and sharing the moment. I’m 57 and there is no way in hell, I’d be able to keep up with Betty but I’d welcome the opportunity to go riding with her and more importantly learning from her. The woman has got skills and just like “Dirty Harry” she knows her limitations. There are many younger riders who would do well learning from her example.

[@julielevesque2668]

I am a 47 year old mountain biker/downhill and 73 and still riding inspires me. Age is nothing but a number but I agree that the older we get...the less we have to prove. When I ride alone, I take less risks and the time I go is so early in the morning that no one is around in case I get injured. I used to think I needed to do the 6 foot gaps or jumps but not anymore. I don't mind just doing 2 foot kickers or drops...I still have fun without having something to prove to go bigger. I just want to have fun and it's just not as important as it used to be to go too extreme.

[@johnpeck5268]

I'm 73 too & I ride MBs, but I don't want to be inspired right into a wheel chair. I'll pass on black diamond trails. I've had plenty of broken bones already.

[@mbords01]

Obviously, it is a matter of what you like to do in life. At 71, my goal is just being comfortable in and enjoy what I do. This is something wonderful you do alone at any age; the more experienced you are the less the need to impress others. People say bicycling is good for us! I love the fresh air and I like the ability of maneuvering the bike. Betty does not need to impress; but she is so awesome!

[@peterwissenijssen4773]

I am a 72 female MTB rider from Rotorua New Zealand , love this video ! Well done.

[@stumpy25lbs]

Inspiring. If I'm still riding like that at the same age, and have a great mtb dog like that, I'll be the happiest person alive 😁 Great video Remy! And many thanks to Betty for sharing 🙏🏼

[@Wieber84]

What a legend and an inspiration

[@tedecker3792]

I ride every day at 75yo. My border collie won’t let me miss a day. She knows all the trails (and the short cuts) here in Moab.

[@nicks2716]

Wow. I’m 51, and took up mountain biking for my 50th birthday. When I started, I admit fearing that I’d be too old to really enjoy or commit to the sport. I was happy to learn that I - WAS - WRONG!!! Even better, inspirations like Betty show me what still lies ahead. Thank you Betty! Thank you Remy! Great video!

[@reverentalexanderchezeley-6367]

Yep me to. I took it up at age 49 last June, watched s few you tube videos. Practiced for six hours s day, six day's a week. After three weeks of hardcore practice and many injuries coming off, I was sending safely over 15 foot gap jumps. Then again have adhd so I have much lower fear levels to dangerous things in life, I get a bit of nervous energy but that's it. I don't get afraid of danger. Well done.

[@mtblover]

I love it when she says:"I can't do this anymore" and then takes a line that many people will bail on in any case. Betty, I wish I can ride like you. You are amazing!!!!!!! 🍻

[@Odens_Lemon]

true! :)

[@nigelnightmare4160]

Just what I was thinking. Amazing!

[@rodrigormotta]

I wish people could see the things she is riding down without the go pro effect! nothing but respect for this lady!

[@SsmAnyfeSt]

Yeah at the beginning I was like Remy, wow sh'es really good, taking all those little drops, roots and everything....but then at like the middle of the video, wtf all those steeps she was riding!!!! Those looked really steep on gopro so for real, I'm not even sure I would ride everything that she did!! :O I can't imagine riding trails like this with my mom, that would be so cool!!! But I would be wayyyy to nervous for her! haha

[@profhortsunlover1536]

i'm 55, female, throwing myself downhill on a hardtail, love it. Love her!!! ❤🧡💛💙💜

[@jamesw1791]

I'm really vibing on the respect you gave her. This is the type of stuff we need more of

[@mtbwithtfb]

She is definitely inspiring Remy. I'm 65 and I hope I'm able to ride well into my 70s. Go betty!

[@lossantoscity3249]

You're Considered Super old before. But now times are changing we have 60+ here in north shore doing Black Trails. It's so inspiring. Before when you turned 60 you just wait for your time to leave this life. LOL

[@TheTazman63]

Remy, as a 59 year old rider, I’m impressed beyond belief. I’m obviously impressed with Betty. I’m also impressed with you and how much respect you are showing to Betty. Between you and Yo, Yo coaching kids. You two are my new favorite riders. Thanks for sharing and keep shredding 👍

[@jimbo4203]

Hey I'll be 60 in November and that was great to see them out riding

[@sharon_hart]

I'll also be 60 in November!

[@der_hahnenkamm]

When age is just a number! Very good riding! Stay healthy, young woman 👍

[@razorsharp9850]

@Dev Guy to each their own probably. One decides to live life with a little more risk, others go different. It is also what Rémy said; naturally when aging the level of fear increases. You should do you, all is good.

[@grammyonthetrail]

My husband and I started riding 5 years ago (at ages 67 and 65, respectively). Betty's comments about working on skills and improving technique definitely resonate. We are setting PRs on Strava and "competing" in the 70-74 age group. Betty is proof that we are not crazy for mountain biking "at our age." Thank you and Betty for the awesome video!

[@nilsnilsnilsify]

I love that comment about halfway through: "There is no correlation between risk and fun." Such a great perspective. So inspiring to hear Betty talking about being excited to get better and learn new things!

[@remymetaillerraw]

So much inspiration. Filming that video changed for ever how I imagine being older and what anyone this age can be able to do.

[@earthymom68]

Merci for filming this, Rémy ! I am 54 and just re-started mtb-ing, after dealing with osteoarthritis and a knee replacement, and this was very inspiring! I knew about Betty, but had not seen video of her yet (I live in the Lower Mainland.) She is amazing! I am not yet at her skill level, but... #goals !

[@craigmccallum2202]

Old guy biker here (66). Really wonderful the way you helped give her the confidence to take on that gap. I have no doubt that it was really appreciated and made her day. As we get older, and our physical powers diminish, it gets harder and harder to maintain our confidence. Good for you to do that.

[@freendeed8410]

Absolutely. I've often said that I'll ride until I can't. I'm still doing 20+ gaps and 10ft+ drops at 55. The transition scout takes good care of me.🤙

[@yarkmates3409]

Such an inspiring woman , great watching you work with and build up Betty’s confidence, as she definitely has the technical ability’s . Thank you 🤟

[@winnieyyc-fox9612]

Don't limit yourself by the number!

[@onlyfoolriding8223]

Betty rides the Northshore at 73. My mom at 73 insists on being dropped off at every retail front door.

[@danilobernini]

This is one of the most inspirational MTB video I've ever seen. Thank you Betty and Remy for this. Both legends !

[@rosarioborboa8561]

48 year old female and purchased my first mtn bike and riding trails. I’m having fun while crashing, bruising, laughing at myself while learning to maneuver on these awesome trails. My friends are patient with this older gal as I learn techniques and improve. It’s a lot of fun and I am hooked! Love this video. Thank you. What an inspiration for me. 🙏🥰

[@ammof6440]

I ride with Betty on occasion and I rarely see her actually riding 😂 she’s too far ahead of me . So cool to actually see her technique & skill up close. Awesome video Remy and Betty! Did you know her dogs name is Revy… similar to Remy 😁

[@efkesfietsen]

Wow What a inspiration. Great respect to Betty. I am 57 and I started biking a year ago. Due health problems I needed to change my lifestyle and started biking for fysical fitness and fun. I live in Netherlands and we don't have trails like you do in Canada and U.S. . I wil be scared to death to ride like how Betty does. Thank you so much for this beautifull and motivating video.

[@gingermartinez7402]

Betty is my idol!! I’m in my 50s and just started mtb-ing a little over two years ago.. get it Betty💪🏻👊🏼

[@knordberg]

Awesome, simply awesome. I'm 65 and still riding. I have a genetic condition much like macular degeneration so I have no central vision. I love riding technical but have to do it from my peripheral vision. It makes it harder but feels so good when I can clean something. I've had to slow down but just enjoy being on the bike. Watching this let me know I still have quite a few good years left.

[@SlowMtbRider]

This is wonderful... Seeing that gives me hope to think I would be able to ride for years if doing it properly

[@bensieber6960]

That was literally the most impressive MTB video I’ve ever watched! 73??!?! I’m 56, been mountain biking for 30 years and I KNOW what age does to your body! Truly, Betty is awesome!!

[@robbya6415]

Gosh, I thought I was getting too old at 56yo MTB'ing. It sure is very inspiring watching Betty riding that difficult trails at her age, kudo's to you for making this video and sharing it to all us. I will think of Betty as my motivational motive when I'm riding a difficult trails. Thank you and Be safe!

[@Seth_S-G]

This is super cool! hopefully, when I am her age I can ride as well (I'm 16 so I still have a ways to go). I can also relate to how scary gap jumps are to work up to, and then you do it and it is way easier than you think it would be. Also Remy, I really like how you have started to do videos with non-pro mountain bikers it makes your videos much more relatable.

[@therealridedmc]

5th Horseman is arguably one of the most difficult trails on Cypress - which is unquestionably the most difficult of the three North Shore mountains. Video will never do these trails justice. The GoPro effect is real! Great riding Betty & Remy!

[@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou]

47 male cannot do what she does, yet. Great motivational video.

[@19brian55]

Remy, this was a great video, Betty is so inspiring and the way she rides is bloody awesome. I’m 66 and 9 weeks ago I had a big off which put me in hospital. I’m riding again but it has messed with my confidence and had me thinking about my longevity with MTBing. Now I know I’ve got at least another 7+ yrs😂. 👍

[@robertnelson2784]

I only started riding last year when I turned 62 I love it and improving everytime I think looking back , but I don't do gaps or big jumps that takes the right technique but I love burns😁

[@a100267]

Betty is very nimble and confident on the bike. Very impressive. I once took part in the Megavalnche with two guys in their late 60s. It shows age is just a number.

[@deirdreoriordan744]

This was awesome!! I'm 57 and have just started mtbing. Betty is so inspiring

[@jorgehenriquez4903]

She rides like 15 great job!!

[@birdman5jh]

Thanks for this. I'm 63 and just took up the sport. I'm loving it but obviously I'm no where near as good a rider as Betty. Gives me something to shoot for.

[@BasicBodThor]

I started riding in my early 30's and having potentially more than 40 more years of riding blows my mind! I love mixing this and that little girl, with the pro level riders. Gives me real perspective and inspiration to progress my own riding

[@powdertrax9742]

My buddies and I started mtn biking 38 years to give us something to do during the off season from snowboarding, we’re all 55 now and ride weekly winter and summer. Whether it’s mtn biking or boarding we run into young guys on the hills or chair lifts and they always trip when they find out our ages, mostly because they have a tough time keeping up. One thing I like to stress to them is if you really love the sport and don’t seriously injure yourself, you’ve got at least 40 more years of riding.

[@milospop8089]

I purchased my first MTB last summer an E-bike hardtail..I love it! I ride to places off road I can't walk to, I stop and enjoy the views . I " race "...down the rough tracks, I've " cartwheeled " a few times..I love it!.... I'm 73 going on 20...Life's wonderful again!

[@energ8t]

Very inspiring! I can’t believe how good she looks for her age too! I’m only 47, but always think that I’ll be happy to ride at this age. Kudos on filming with her.

[@CenturyRide]

I'm blown away by Betty - she could definitely teach me a thing or two! And I'm also loving all the commenters of people my age (54) and older enjoying my favourite sport. There's such an appetite in the 40+ mtb crowd for videos like this. Thanks, Remy! Love your channel.

[@remymetailler]

Thank you

[@reachjohn]

One of the most inspirational mtb videos I have ever seen. The warmth, kindness and fun that is shared here is amazing. I am a 52 year old mountain biker and this videos expanded my world. Thanks Betty and Remy for sharing this.

[@oldguyandayeti8599]

Wow! She's amazing! I'm almost 79 and still riding black diamond trails, but Southeastern black diamond and BC black diamond are dramatically different. I would love to come up and ride some of your (easier) trails!

[@remymetailler]

That's awesome! Link up with Betty!

[@gregoryf9299]

And for any non-Trail Forks readers: 5th Horseman is 1 of 14 double-blacks in Cypress. Here’s the description (TF writeups tend to be far more casual than reality, especially for north shore, btw): “Very steep with steep mandatory rock features with high consequence sections. Contains natural and man-made TTFs. Not a beginners trail.” #RESPECT!!

[@jcsrst]

I am a 60m year old female and I am positive she would smoke me on any downhill! What an inspiration she is! Thanks for sharing your ride with her 😊

[@artemisxw8708]

Absolutely love this!, I first rode in Whistler in 2016 and I was 51. Thinking I was too old but I met my dear American friend Nancy who was 60 and we rode together. It's inspiring to have amazing women like Nancy and Betty show it's possible to keep riding. Because I love it and it's so great for your mind, body and soul. Thank you!

[@revzombie]

Betty is an inspiration for older men and women alike, as an over 50 mountain biker from the UK and suffer with a number of illnesses Inc lower back spondylosis and c.o.p.d, biking keeps me going and helps with the depression I get from the pain I can be in on a daily basis, granted some days I'm physically unable to ride but the days I can I take full advantage of every minute im out, even in the rain.

[@dannyo1526]

Remy, sir - I just enjoyed watching this with my wife and daughter. Betty is phenomenal and a real inspiration for me as a 55 year-old cyclist. She is also a remarkable role model for all women, too. I just want to compliment you also. You are a super competent instructor and a solid human being. Your patience and clarity are a gift. The both of you are uplifting to the human race. The intergenerational interactions is so needed. Rock ON!

I just turned 50 this summer and there are times when I feel rushed riding because I feel like I’m simply running out of time. I know that is silly but watching this video and reading the comments, I find a little comfort in knowing that my mentality is my biggest obstacle, not age. Thanks for posting!🎉

[@remymetailler]

You can do it!

[@CenturyRide]

I know. I'm 56 and Betty has shown me there are many more years of mtb'g ahead! It's only now I'm really developing more skills. Also doing all the things to age well (strength & stability, prioritizing sleep, etc.).

[@bikerideventures9754]

There's a common sentiment out there with many people sadly, that as you hit 40 roughly you have a tendency to automatically slow down and should just take it easy. As long as a person stays fit and does the activities they live regularly, there is no reason to slow down or avoid your favorite sports or activities. The only thing that should slow a person down is injuries, not your age. Ride until you simply cannot because your body won't let you. Good on you Betty!

[@lovesafrica111]

Awesome video & truly inspiring. You're the woman Betty!!! I'm a female & I've been mountain biking in Colorado since I was 34 & am now 62 years old. Five years ago, we moved to north central WI & I'm now mountain biking up to the top of our local ski mountain (non-stop) & get asked (insulted, laughing) all the time, if my bike is electronic which of course it is not. It's a Trek Rogue (12) speeds & other than my hubby who is (15) years younger, do not have any females to ride with, not even seeing young ladies climbing it, so to see this 73 year old tear down black trails is just great. Thanks for sharing with us. If you can do it at 73, I have no intention of stopping at any age either.

I was very nervous at first, but am regaining confidence with each ride. My grandson encourages me to try things that I otherwise may never try. The sport of mountain biking is all-inclusive, amazing, and teaches many life lessons!

[@modetraining2961]

I literally started thinking about taking up trail biking but I thought at 45 I was too old…… Cheers Remy & Betty for proving me very, very wrong!!! (I definitely won’t start on these types of courses though 😂)

Almost 44 here, I bought an entry level hardtail last summer just to see if I liked MTBing {and if not i would have kept the bike anyway just to ride around town 😅} It's freaking awesome =)

[@Perception_]

There's living proof right there showing there's no good excuses in life, simply none. If she can do what she does, then I know how much more most people can do in their own lives. Talent is earned. Most people still tell themself that talent is something a chosen few is simply born with, which of course is an excuse to tell themself they should never try. It's the fear of failure as well as fear of success. It's all just nothing but excuses. All it is to it is to start, and you can only start from where you are standing. It may sound too good to be true, so if I am wrong, you may prove that if you think you can. Just start...

The issue is that your body won’t think so if/when you come off & break something. Kudos to her, she’s out there properly living when others sit rotting in front of the tv.

I can relate to this video. I keep hearing all these horror stories about how I won't be able to do fun things as I get older. I'm 61 years of age and enjoy mountain biking. It's flatter terrain where I live but with a good bike I could learn to ride the way she does in her part of the country. Too old to do fun things? Bah, humbug! Edited to add: What you see here is a fine example of how you don't stop doing fun things when you get old, but rather that you get old when you stop doing fun things!

Anyways, I did something stupid and broke my collar bone, my parents were on vacation so I just sat at home in pain until they got home. It was so stupid! Betty is a brave 73 year old for sure.

Great video! Huge inspiration! I have been mountain biking since I was 13 and I am 39 now. I am always afraid of the day I get too old for it. This is really refreshing to see!

This is such an inspirational video. Great skills and brilliant riding philosophy from both of you. I thought that at 60 I was one of the older mountain bike riders, but it turns out I'm just a kid. Plenty more years to improve! :-)

Wow, your awesome I'm 66 bad lower back. You ride and I'll enjoy watching you.

[@wolfridsson7239]

this was so good! Very inspirational! I started biking a year ago (I'm now 36 yo) and was sad that I didn't start earlier but this gives me so much hope that I have alot of years of biking in front of me.

Oh Lord! Se is amazing! I am 57 and I wish I can do tha. My joints and knees and bones ache every time I finished a MT bike ride......

Thank you Remy for highlighting Betty. There are so many of us in our 60's and beyond who still need a little mental booster now and then and Betty is one for sure! You are so great with her with advice, explanation and just being a true gentleman.

I'm thinking of getting into Mountain Biking thanks to Remy but not at his level however Betty is a true shredder and doing awesome at it. Thank you for sharing this.

[@ladygroundshaker]

Amazing. I hope I could be just half that amazing when I get her age. She would run circles around me right now!

[@JTBikeAdventures.]

WOW! That was awesome and motivating at the same time. Its true. Don't ever think you are too old for anything in life. Just do it.

What an inspiration! I turn 59 in less than 2 weeks, and just started MTB'ing in 2021. I love it because I'm learning to conquer my fears a bit at a time. I hope to be riding for many years to come!

[@mattieLooseRider]

Great video! Very inspiring.. You can see in the video that trail is very technical and she ride it with ease!! It's great to see people pushing their limits at that age.. Thank you very much to both living legends.. Love it!

I'm in my 50's still riding hard tail on single track trails... I just can't stomach sitting around playing cards. The video was awesome!
