[@nikmi3d]

Eric, I’ve always enjoyed the storytelling of your videos but this episode is on another level. Your skills as a filmmaker continue to grow and this was a tremendous combination of narrative, cinematography, and editing. Thank you for your dedication to your craft and sharing this intimate look into your being. Also, submit this to film festivals. Doesn’t matter if they are mountain bike focused. This is a story of ambition, struggle, and perseverance. And not to be overlooked: Yuka. Super supportive. There for every step. As impressive as she is for her riding skill, this video showcases her amazing quality as a person.

[@crashfactory]

+1 for Yuka. What a gem!

[@jakebeaudrie]

One of my favorite things about your channel is that you're never afraid to share your failure (which is way too strong a word of this but I digress...). And you always seem to get it in the end. But this one was extra awesome. I literally threw my arms up and cheered aloud when you cleared that fucker. Great video, Sir. Loved every minute.

[@bliksemvis]

haven't seen such level of emotion yet on the channel. Major props for having the courage to finally getting it done, overcoming your mental block, the duo you two are and having the balls to show all of the moments and emotions!

[@randomcrapforyou]

I love how you put this video together. At first it made me frustrated “Eric, just do it” But then it made me realize how frustrated you must be. The amount of dedication you put into riding back up just to go down and fail. If there’s a lesson to learn here kids, don’t give up. You may fail, once, twice or a hundred times. But if you don’t give up you can get there, trust the process. Well done Eric, proud of you.

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

The montage starting at 14:30 was one of the best-edited sequences in mountain biking history. Watching frustration can sometimes feel annoying, but this felt thrilling!

[@jnjarvis1]

Completely agree, it was riveting cinema

[@ericsharp5079]

Absolutely! Love the real and honest emotion Eric shares!

[@JankyTinTop]

Definitely agree. I felt every bit of that frustration and emotion. Beautifully done for such an intense moment.

[@440a440mosrite]

So. I was on those trails that day and heard someone yell "fuck yeah" while I was on the climb road. Guess it was you! So proud of you for sticking with it. That trail is way above my skill so I don't ride it. So cool to see you pushing your limits and struggling through. It's inspiring to the rest of us. Thanks for sharing!

[@rcranes2227]

When was this filmed? Wish I had known the trails were in such good shape even after the rains last month. How many dry days does it take to get rideable out there?

[@440a440mosrite]

@@rcranes2227 about 2 dry days and the third will be rideable. That trail system does pretty well with rain. This weekend should be prime!

[@budman8926]

This line is lovely fast and smooth. This guy shouldnt of been on it really. You need to show no fear.. The rule of thumb is on a bike you bottled it 3 times then you shouldnt be doing it and crying like a baby over a small jump proves that

[@ViperSRTnACR]

@@budman8926 I have to disagree. This video shows that he had the desire to want to clear the jump but had to get over his mental block and sometimes that takes more than three tries. Ever been to a practice session with pros? Dave Lieb and Nicholi Rogatkin are friends of mine and phenomenal slope style riders, yet when they're trying new tricks, sometimes they'll try it 10+ times to get it just right. I give Eric credit for sticking with it and not giving up even when he felt completely defeated trying to get over his mental block.

[@Mister1bigidea]

@@budman8926 I’ll need to disagree with you on this one. I’m sure Eric sticks to the 3 time only rule in most scenarios and that’s a very important rule, but, in life there are always exceptions. This is definitely a learning moment for him, and even though he cleared it, he has a lot to evaluate, on how to know in which scenario is it worth to keep pushing. When it comes to most of us, while riding a bike, its just about riding the bike. Eric has a KZbin channel dedicated for mountain biking, and the parameter and types of thoughts he has to deal with is completely different. It’s okay to give constructive criticism, but I did not appreciate you using the phrase ‘crying like a baby’, because that feels more like a judgement and not you providing your opinion from experience. Again, this is my opinion, its important to disagree, and I’d encourage you to showcase that without being judgmental.

[@BasicBodThor]

Yuka is such a boss haha "now I can see, that's easy...do it!" Well done you guys :)

[@DaleStone]

One of the best, most realistic (and relatable) riding videos out there. Thanks Eric, will be a frequent re-watch!

[@christianhb3314]

I cried for you too man. When I saw you were going back I felt so pumped for you. And to see you keep trying and conquering yourself really made something click in my head. Thanks for being BCPOV and shout out to Yuka for being a dope ass fucking partner. 🙌

Dude, you're a badass! These are my local trails and that run is no joke and it's designed so oddly, you crushed it! Great job!

[@billbingham916]

It was never about beating the jump, it was about winning that battle with yourself, inside your own head. Anyone trying to progress at anything has this battle, its the one of toughest fights in life. Well done for winning and thank you for sharing it with us.

[@Thematty635]

@@dezzydiamond7121 I actually think KZbin does this to content creators. The need to finish a vid or to get every feature is kind of the wrong driving factor. It's probably not the intended outcome to complete it for the video, but when the video is your livelihood you would want to tick every feature off. Scary to think how creators are affected by this sort of thing. Good example is that nikocado avocado dude, he's destroying his life for views. Might be time for a KZbin break. Have a holiday and just ride, no filming or anything.

[@billbingham916]

@@Thematty635 Booth you and Dezzy make good points. I never considered the long term impact on content creators. Watching BCPOV for a while I believe its fair to say we have seen an increase in his anxiety while riding and a lot of us have been there. The bitch abut anxiety is that the more you think about the worse it gets. As leaders in our sports I hope content creators know we appreciate the battle and authentic real events. There was recent video by Remi M where he didn't finish a feature and there was nothing but respect from the audience. Having said all that, we all have inner demons we need to outcome and for that I applaud BCPOV. Do it for yourself, not us observers.

[@cdpd3]

Damn man, good job. Busting through that mental wall and hearing your relief at the end was crazy. Thanks for letting us be a part of this struggle. On another note, seeing Yuka progress so much so quickly during this video is crazy, I cannot get over how she can just decide to do something and it happens. Inspiration for everyone.

[@JoPro06]

THIS, is why you’re the best content creator out there. This video really moved me, and was perfectly composed at the level of profesional documentaries. In addition, you both are a wonderful couple considering the patience nd support you give each other.

Man this is just the essence of action sports captured so perfectly. I love how raw this is and that you kicked that jump's ass in the end. Unreal video Eric!

[@BeauxVélos]

Wow. No cheating in here. Your videos are always honest - and human. I feel this sport is amazingly hard, can bring joy, but is frightening too. That's what courage is all about: accepting to be embarrassed, or to fail. Accepting to be yourself. And even more: accepting to show it to us. Thanks Eric!

[@MrShocking68]

this is just a pure masterpiece as it is the presentation of how many emotions mountain biking brings to us. I love that you embrace it. I wonder how many attempts you had in the end on the big jump ? I lost the count. :) Also huge props to the trail builder, looks like a fun to ride.

[@sebastianfowler3749]

Incredible video, as always! I thought this one was one of your best videos... the physical, emotional, and mental toll it took for you to clear the jump reminded me of all the things I've struggled with in this way. It was really inspiring to see, and as you said, showed us that you're human. I feel motivated not only in terms of mountain biking, but in life in general, to keep going, trying one more time, until finally, after so much effort, you've completed it. The relief you felt was coming through the screen, and reminded me of the relief we all feel after finishing a daunting task. So thank you Eric, for pushing through and motivating so many of us out there to keep pushing. Thank you Yuka for staying with him and helping him make it. You should never have to go it alone. On another note, if you are traveling down the coast, you should come check out the riding in San Francisco. There is a lot more to be had than one would expect. Just check out trailforks and most of the trails will be there. Might be interesting to make a video on it. Otherwise, check out Pacifca for some of the more gnarly things in the Bay Area. Safe travels, and stay gnarly!

im not even through this video but i had to stop and comment - one of my favorite things about this channel as well as Yuka's is the fact you guys dont sugar coat anything. you keep it real & honest. Being able to edit together a vidoes gives content creators the ability to cut out whatever they want (ie fails) but you dont. Its really nice to see people react as that - real people. Fears and injury are real & the fact that you are not afraid to say "no, i cant this time" on camera is awesome! Just goes to show not everyone is perfect at what they do no matter how big of a following they have.

You’re overcoming obstacles, letting clearing jumps become a standard for everything you do in life. When you push yourself to overcome difficulty to do hard things, you’re not only building confidence in your riding ability. You’re changing yourself as a person, becoming more confident in everything you do.
