Can you go to North Carolina, there are some good mountain bike trails here near apex

Imperial measurements? Come on ;-) .

[@cameronsovick7671]

Awesome man! So proud of you! Good job keeping that PMA!!!! (Positive mental attitude)

[@11mumbles]

Good job! I really enjoy seeing you progress as a rider, and as someone who just started mountain biking it gives me the courage to try new features. One suggestion: I liked the style you did of showing the jumps on the trail as you conquered them (I know that must have taken a lot of time to setup), but one thing I would suggest adding is a progress bar or something showing the sections as you go through them so you can tell where you are and what jumps or features you are doing. Keep up the good work!

I love the sound of tires on the ground, then silence, then tires landing, then yewooooo!

[@gavinbrownfield4353]

I like how you included the size of the jumps and when you cleared them. Excellent work

[@nickprevide2724]

he was over exaggerating the size

[@Ek0]

@@nickprevide2724 Its a fisheye/wide angle lens... it stretches everything horizontally. Look at the jumps from lip to lip, you can tell its actually a large gap and then add in some extra feet for Gopro effect. You will see his jump size #'s are pretty accurate.

Your victory on the last, biggest jump literally felt like my own victory. I was so invested. What a great process you went through, doing the research, and stages one at a time to achieve your goal.

[@mountainlessbiking3268]

Jumping progression is always so satisfying. Love the little graphic of the jumps

[@lokmtb8503]

I'm so stoked to see you conquer your fears and progress with jumping! Nice work dude!!!!! That's my big goal for this season. Really hoping to up my jumping game.

[@millzzzyy7558]

Amazing channel, the effort of the zone stuff, map, the voice over. The storytelling. Unmatched. This channel will go far.

[@ginnipig]

Start from the top and give'er. Well done Eric! Now off to see how Van Girl Yuka did :)

[@harryfindlay4682]

Tip: When your in the air try to get loose, one way I have found to get loose is to do a bar turn or a whip this will help you on the trail when your claw ring big jumps and it makes you look steazy AF

[@gabebertozzi3032]

Do you have a tip to get big jumps? I always get nervous midair and I've had a few crashes where I just panic and fall

[@harryfindlay4682]

Gab Bertozzi this might sound a bit weird but one of the best ways I have found to get loose in the air and while riding the trail is to sing a song in your head It takes your mind off of what’s ahead And if this doesn’t work it’s all about confidence, before you want to hit a big jump pump yourself up and I would start by doing a couple of runs on that trail to get yourself comfortable on the other jumps in the trail if there are any

[@r0ket_335]

@@harryfindlay4682 i dont think its a good tip to not think about whats ahead. Thats how you crash

[@dmille462]

John The Dwayn Rockson i disagree. The song thing is a great idea. I have the abilities I just panic. I have a song I sing in my head when hitting big things and so far so good 🤞

[@MacDaddyOP]

Harry Findlay just remember, chances are you’re not gonna die if you fall, it’s just gonna hurt and you’re gonna get back up again, don’t worry

[@mtb_alan]

Heck yeah, Eric! So cool to see you working through your fears. Inspiring!

[@BCpov]

Thanks Alan!

[@norco4life518]

This made me smile. I know exactly the feeling you are talking about, you need to get into a good rhythm before doing something bigger for a jump or drop. By the time you get to the feature, you already know if you’re feeling it or not and it gives you time to step back to reassess. Great job man!

[@fireman4him275]

Strong work, Eric! I was rooting for you over all of them. I hate the mental blocks we put up in front of ourselves. I deal with the same stuff and when you break through it, it is so satisfying!

[@benspear]

Man I was rooting for you so hard! Great video and more awesome progression, love it :D

[@riohawkins8779]

I live here in Redding and love riding this trail. I actually crashed on the last gap (25 ft.) and almost broke my back, riding into a tree about a month and a half ago. I haven't been out there since, but this really motivates me!

[@jwaltman6846]

I live here also and haven't actually taken this trail but you should try snail tail

[@brucemacneil]

Thanks for making these terrific videos. I enjoy these as a great break from some of the other news in the world. No whammies.

[@KestrelYI]

Great stuff, man! Redemption from some previous jump trails for sure!

[@conorprovan9435]

After watching this TWICE, I did your self talk down the trail and hit my biggest gap yet at 15 feet and yes I brought a tape measure. Thank you for the motivation and the videos. I love your channel. I hope to one day hot this trail.

[@mikerobertson9787]

It's awesome to watch you guys progress! Gives me confidence and hope too!!

[@elosopodast]

FUCK YEAH BC!!!! getting out of the comfort zone is the BOMB, and you get so stoked to send it even more. AWESOME!!!

[@MonsterChuck]

You look so much smoother riding in this video. You can hear the tires when you are compressing into the lip and you seem more controlled. Really cool to see the progression. Congrats!

Yeah boy! That was awesome to watch, I was cheering out loud (my dogs were looking at me very weird). Ha!

So excited when you cleared all of them! I have been thinking of those 3 jumps for 2 years and plan to go back and give them a try this summer!

[@josmapleflame1985]

Nice one bruva! Not quite an instructional, but the way you detailed the steps to conquering those features are super appreciated.

[@chrislukes9037]

Great video and I like seeing you work through your process for progression. I really like what you did with diagramming out the different zones and their individual jumps at the top of the screen. However, I found it confusing to follow what jump you were coming up to on the repeat runs where each jump already had the previous result shown (esp. anticipating an upcoming "X" as you worked through a string of previously-completed jumps -- "wait, is the "X" jump coming up in 2 or 3 jumps?"). If you use this method in future videos, I'd like to see you "grey out" the green checkmarks from a previous run, making them solid again as you re-complete those jumps. Great work!

[@modsquad8u]

I really like how your videos aren't a bunch of ego. Congrats on sending it man! I'm hoping to start working on jumps soon myself, but I really want to drop some more weight and get my fitness/endurance up more before committing too much to jumps. Keep up the great work! I haven't had a chance to explore, but do you have any vids about your converted van?

[@bikingwithryan5968]

Wow!!! You have gotten so much better at jumping!nice work man👍👍👍

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

i had the same mental battle at a place called black mountain cycle centre in wales. towed over half of it one year then the next had to conquer it on my own. best feeling i have ever had. got it on video if you fancy a look, it's my massive uk jumps video. over 40ft some of them! great to watch you overcome the fear, such an achievement.

[@charlesslwilson]

Eric - well done and a great inspirational and learning clip for those of us who definitely need to build confidence when jumping. Spot on Sir

[@dudedudester9659]

Living in Redding thus this being a local trail for me, that hip does NOT ride like a hip at all. wish I could have towed you in on all these or given some pointers

[@dudedudester9659]

In fact you really need to put a little break check for the hip

[@dipinbawa943]

Great job bud and awesome vid! One of the best ones I've seen and I was literally shouting at the screen "C'mon buddy, you got this!" I think it was the fact that I'm always in those same shoes but I bail out like a wimp pretty much every time...lol.... Inspiring my man!

[@synbol2237]

Hey, BCPov. You don't know me but I tried hitting my first ever "big" step up. I completely over sent it with wayy tooo much speed and went flying over the bars. Cutting my already existing cut open again. Spent 2 days in hospital. Can't ride for another 6-8 weeks. But watching this video really entertained me and helped. I lost a lot of confidence but am keen to get back. Keep up the great videos. :)

[@RydenDirty]

I literally yelled woohoo at the screen when you landed it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Have you ever wonder if you put a heavy wheel to the bike. The heavy wheel I mean is the one that is in the bike gym that will make the wheel rolls long. I have this question and I never see anyone does it yet. If you know please reply to me here and I want to watch it.

[@marks7192]

I love the personal pep talks. Cause i do that too ! Nice work !

[@Trailvagabonds]

Way to go, brother! Soo good to see you smash this mental challenge after some of the recent videos where you were in your own head. Awesome!

[@kaseyburlingham2861]

I'm so excited to watch this right now. I rode that trail 2 years ago And I've been dying to go back and finally try those gaps, but I've been terrified.

[@willbros1499]

Great video! Anything tells a story is always more compelling. A possible interesting idea for a future video, would be to go back in time and show some side-by-side comparisons of your from on the same trail last time, or some clips of you jumping at other places versus now. Your form is infinitely better. I will always contend that it isn't until riders learn how to boost off the lips, that they will truly have the correct form going up the face. I think the best thing riders can do is go find a short gap double, and practice it over and over. Start at a speed that they can just ride over it and clear it, and then start going into it progressively slower and slower, and forcing themselves to use the suspension and their legs to gain the height needed to clear it. SO MANY riders are concerned about getting thrown into the air, so they absorb the forces from the face of the jump with their legs, instead of limiting the knee bend, controlling the bike, and allowing the suspension to help do the work for them. Squashing jumps is a great skill to develop, but if you START with that form out of fear instincts of "launching too high," then it ingrains HORRIBLE habits that are hard to break. I know...from personal experience. Better to start small, learn correct form and how to create lift, and then move that form to bigger jumps.

[@Neebotolzonzonoe]

Love the way you made this video I was more into it thanks to your progression than in pro's videos Thanks!
