Why Is She So Good at Mountain Biking?

[@BCpov]

Yuka his been killing it for a while now 🙂 check out her dirt merchant video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Ksh5-Fgsp6Z8U

[@messagedeleted1922]

Its not just the environment. Terrace has always had a tradition of trail builders building sketchy features. At least nowadays they are rideable.

[@ATBSTUDIOS35]

I live in Smithers BC! On your way back you want to come ride again? Bcpov you're the best! Please respond, I live in Smithers BC

"You don't have to do it" "but jump is fun" is literally the internal monolog I have with myself every time I go out to practice jumping haha.

[@sethinato1464]

hahahaha, yup

[@cupidok2768]

Who's the guy

[@downhillupside]

Yuka towing Eric in to features is some of my favourite KZbin content. Eric, don't let macho pride ever ruin your dynamic. It's awesome to have a partner that can push you, and visa versa.

[@oskarstaudte]

Absolutely agree. I ride with some pretty rad gals sometimes, they taught me quite alot! Its not because they're girls that we guys need to feel entitled to do something :D

[@Seby-biketrial]

[@danmai8433]

This basically a love letter to Yuka and I'm here for it! I've been watching you guys for a long time and she amazes me every time

[@CoreySchmick444]

I love how Yuka says " I know that's not your real feeling" when Eric says he's not as confident following her through and over that step-down. Yuka knows that Eric's fear is not real, and I love how she builds her confidence and supports him at the same time. She makes everything positive, she says "step down", oh yeah, step-down is easy, step down is good, always keeping that PMA. This is a true example of how your attitude in life determines what you get out of it! LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@nachete9752]

"Look ahead honey, dont look at tree!" Me talking to myself every time I ride

[@keirfarnum6811]

You never want to look at the obstacles; always look at where you want to go, not where you don’t. Back when I was racing off road (in the dark ages), I almost had a visible line that would light up for me to follow (really!) The moment you fixate on that large rock on the center of the trail is when you will head straight for that rock. It’s also applicable to life; don’t focus on the obstacles in life; focus on where you want to go. So this truism doesn’t just apply to mountain biking. 😁

[@jamesbroughton1621]

eric: ya known you dont have to do it. yuka: but, jump is fun... me: adda girl🤣🤣🤣

Either a caricatured pic of her in her helmet smiling, or one of her sending it. I would wear this!

[@bryndon]

Take my money

[@jakobholm1847]

Yuka is just awesome and such an inspiration! I wish I had half her confidence. Quite often referring to her when we commit to sending it on our local trails by saying "OK. Let's go!". 😆👊💥

[@allydidier791]

I love that you are appreciate of Yuka for her help to you when riding instead of just feeling like you have to be the better rider!

[@jltrack]

Yuka is so impressive! I wish I had her fearlessness

[@jimrollins4857]

Howdy from Oklahoma, 73 yr old living vicariously through your videos looks like fun. Motorcrosser back in the day wish I could ride bikes today like y'all. Thanks for your videos.

[@whatismyusername6140]

Yuka sounds like a logical person, which really helps when keeping things in perspective. I usually let my fears dominate and go past that stuff. Definitely lucky to have someone showing you the way!

[@Friedman617]

One of my favorite videos it’s so telling of your balanced relationship and yea she can shred!!!

[@SkateboardCollecting]

Everyone needs to be more like Yuka! I love her attitude towards riding and having fun! Go Yuka!

[@andreageller4804]

Hey Eric and Yuka, it was so awesome hanging out with you guys!! Hopefully meet up again soon!!

[@BCpov]

Glad we bumped into each other! Thanks for hanging out 🙂

[@elistratton4746]

You gotta give yourself time to build up your confidence again after injuries that's the key to getting back to where you were! Great vid

[@ROSE-by5su]

Yeah when I was 14 I sending jumps with my MTB without helmet and crashed bad but didn’t broke anything and starting that day I can’t do it and now I’m 17 I overcome it by wearing protective gear and do things I didn’t even know I can like I dropped 3ft with my BMX and I’m scared because I get used to having suspension but since I’m wearing helmet I go for it and now I wanna do higher

This video right here is exactly why I've always loved extreme sports. I've mountain biked, snowboarded skated my whole life and done a little surfing when I could and that feeling of getting over that fear for a thrill is indescribable.

[@Incandescentiron]

I love that you show us all the preparatory work before you do those difficult features. Most riders just show the successful completion. It makes it look like they hit it the first time without advanced planning. Thank you for posting.

[@predictorbibulous3327]

7:08 Him: "you don't have to do it" Her" But...jump is fun" Wiser words have never been spoken.

[@bryndon]

Yuka had me smiling uncontrollably most of the video, and several times I said, "Damn! Yuka" out loud. Her confident attitude is infectious and she's got the skills to back it up. Great Video Eric, so cool you put the spotlight on your wife, she definitely earned it this video! Thank you, and Keep up the great work.

[@ideapap1]

You know it’s a good video when his wife shows him up 😂 But honestly I always enjoy your videos

[@aenomaly]

The honesty, humbleness, and ego-less approach you have to riding is admirable Eric. Yuka is absolutely killing it! Great content as always.

[@mithrandirtheistari]

Man, Yuka is a rock star. That solo camping video of her is one of the things made me a Yuka believer!

[@LEGENDofBEANY]

I love the dynamic between you and your wife. This was a joy to watch.

[@Darkhalfcustoms]

I didn't realize how much I missed you guys until KZbin put your video on my feed. It's great to see you guys again.

[@bikeandbeyond]

Yuka is such a sender! She always seems to have such a confidence in her own abilities. Awesome video dude!

[@Oper8or]

I have always cheered for Yuka. I love her perspective on things.

[@TrailSage]

Thank you for this honest look into the mindset of jumping and drops. After coming off some serious injuries myself I can totally relate Eric. Oh, and go Yuka-chan!!!

[@tukayo]

Great video! The extra production starting at 9:30 had me extra impressed. I haven't been back to the channel for a minute, and it was a great surprise. Kudos to you guys!

[@aidanpotter-khatri]

Your commentary/voiceover is getting so good and your editing skills have improved so much more

[@coloradoboy1014]

That is true

[@dubldeez5784]

Definitely love the honest look at your own riding with strength and weaknesses. The fear is also what keeps you alive.

[@dominikcapuano9900]

She is so awesome. I love her smile after a jump. She is FEARLESS

[@alexwood3459]

This is like my girlfriend in rock climbing- she always inspires me, just goes for stuff and I end up only doing it after her. Glad I'm not the only guy out there in awe of the fearlessness (or rather, just commitment and focus) of his partner.

[@andrewnyce6060]

Love the video. Thank you for featuring our small community of Gitwinksihlkw. Appreciate it and one day I hope I’m brave enough to hit the bigger drops. Lol

[@rachaelpreston8976]

I wish I was back in my 20's again with all the new trails that have been built, endos and wipe-outs hurt more the older you get, and take longer to recover from. "Don't look at the tree..." seriously, most of my spills were caused by me looking exactly where I didn't want to go. I've never MT bikes in BC, only down here in the USA... New Mexico, Colorado, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Florida. Yeah, Florida... pretty tame. My favorite top three are Mount Snow and Killington in Vermont, and the Rim Trail near Cloudcroft, NM.

Man..this is awesome stuff. To see a couple connect in their hobbies and support each other while being active and adventuring, and not just just for the sake of taking pictures together. Actually out conquering a difficult sport and sharpening your skills..I have to say I am envious of your shared passion. Hopefully I can meet a girl who likes to ride someday too.

Shes not only extremely beautiful from the outside but seems like one of those with a genuinely beautiful soul as well. You my friend are a lucky lucky man. Although i suspect she didnt draw a short straw catching you either buddy. Subscribed, notifications on, video liked and your definitely on my daily bedtime MTuBe list.
