[@thetalkingfly]

yo EP! Great video! You live in a rad place! This kind of vid inspires me to look in my own neighborhood for funky big and little adventures! Cheers, Steve aka The Talking Fly****

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks Steve! I love watching your adventures with the kids as well! Did you make it up to the snow the other day??

[@TrailFeatures]

Not sure you guys outdoor'd hard enough. Could have fit at least one more sport in there if you tried. 😉

[@PorterMTB]

Trail Features I’ll try harder next time!!!

Man, the 11 hour days that you make a living with a way more fun than the 11 hour days I make a living with! But we all choose our path and you clearly like yours. Congrats.

[@8evvied]

This with a bit of bud and a beer at the summit is the ultimate day out

[@amateurhouradventures]

Making the most of those 24hrs in a day! I dig it!

[@PorterMTB]

Oh yeah, gotta do it all!

[@WesternSpiritCyclingMoab]

Yeah Eric! Looks like you actually tired Weston out - so good job! Might have to try this out in Moab. Still skiing in the LaSals too!

[@PorterMTB]

Western Spirit Cycling yeah it was a big day, so fun though! I’d love to do a day like this in Moab, maybe next spring!!

[@buryurfear14]

I've been wanting to move to Tennessee for that mountain, biking, hiking, camping life style.....Dude, Utah is starting to sound waaaaaay better lol.

[@PorterMTB]

Tennesee is pretty rad, but I'll be in Utah for a while, love it here.

[@jothamoliver3918]

One of the coolest videos you've done. Such a unique experience. I can imagine you might have thought it would have three times the view count. Either way, looks like you had a great time making the video.

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome to hear, glad you enjoyed it! KZbin is funny with what gets views and what doesn't, but like you said it was a super fun day so I'm happy!

[@svenjamsa1824]

Everyone always says it's the best state to live in to go mountain biking in the morning and skiing in the evening, but nobody ever really tries it haha this was awesome. I live pretty close and am stoked to try this out!

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome! It makes for a big day, but worth it!

[@TheITWarrior]

That looks so awesome! Amazing that Weston was able to keep up with you, I would never dream of doing something that hardcore.

[@PorterMTB]

ITWarrior haha yeah, Weston is super strong, he’s a full time guide with Western Spirit and is Ski Patrol and ski guide all winter, I had to bring along someone strong like him for a day like this!

[@jacobwalker6077]

4:00 that is on crooked finger holy

[@PorterMTB]

Haha that's just how it works I guess!

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Nice adventure Eric!

[@LiftedAdventures]

[@midwayexplorerco.4765]

Been on that fly fishing trail many times with the wasatch mountain bike team great vid👍

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome! It's a fun trail, hopefully I can get out with the team someday!

[@C_Haberstoked]

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

Awesome video man🤙 love the seenery 😍👌

[@havenoutdoors584]

Solid day! That's a fun area up above that old mining road.

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah it's one of my favorite zones, I'm starting the process of getting more bike trails up there too!

[@davedni2143]

Nice day for sure.

[@PorterMTB]

Man it was fun

[@all_the_hype4576]

Sick video. So cool that u did this.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! I've been dreaming of doing this for a while, glad to finally make it happen!

[@NunalSaPaa]

Did you feel any fear at all while snowboarding? That looked scary.

[@azdirtlife4280]

Sick adventure Eric 🤘🤘.

[@PorterMTB]

It was a tiring one, so fun though!

[@duncanrocke2173]

Omg! I skied this line in February from the Brighton side amazing zone!

[@Jt3az]

Life...elevated. Sweet vid.

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah seriously! Thanks!

[@halftimefamily41]

Your Haanjo looks awesome. Has it been a good Bike. Has it held up well. Those bar end shifters look tight. Great video.

[@PorterMTB]

Thank you! I’ve put that bike through a lot, it’s really fun to get it in over it’s head and then ride it out! I like how simple the bar end shifters are too, and they don’t get in the way of a bar bag when I go Bikepacking.

[@44boowee]

@@PorterMTB well i bought a very lightly used Haanjo 5c exp just like yours a few weeks ago. So far it is awesome. I feel super confident and balanced on it. Anyways. cool vid. Dig the bike.

[@mtbway4302]

Solid day indeed! I need to move to Utah now..lol

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah it's pretty good here!

[@adubmatters3584]

Super rad day! Though I’d ditched the skinny tire bike🥴💯🙌🏽

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah it was a fun one!

[@tonyvalenzuela4668]

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you're here! Lots more videos to come!

[@MikeKoPhotography]

Now that’s an awesome day!

[@PorterMTB]

Oh yeah, packing it all in!

[@alexbraleyMTB]

Aaaand THIS is why i wanna live in the west. So sick!!

[@olivierverboeket8797]

Awesome video, how did you manage that the board didn’t slide down on the bike (as it was tilted and hanging down in the back). We’re the tie wraps just super strong or did you have any other setup? This made my day man!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!! Those ski straps made by Voile are really strong, nothing was moving once it was strapped. I put rags or something between the board and the bike as well so I didn't damage either of them. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@pallgudmundsson2539]

Question 🙏. Can you fit fenders on this bike? I enough holes like steel bikes.

[@kmcbiker8142]

Gotta love Utah. Eric do you every do any group rides up there in PC? I'm in St. George but would love to come up ride with you sometime.

[@PorterMTB]

I should do some more group rides, it’s fun getting out with everyone!!

[@Merica735]

Awsome day I wish i could do that with my day

[@PorterMTB]

Plan it out for next year!

[@helloitsdawn]

What's the advantage/disadvantage between the bike types used for the activities in this video, especially the handlebar types? I know gravel bikes are all the rage with drop bars, but how do they compare against a mountain bike set up?

[@PorterMTB]

Gravel bikes are best when you want to be fast and efficient on pavement and dirt roads, but also want to be able to ride some single track. In this video I thought the gravel bike would be the best balance for everything, but several sections would have been better on a MTB. For me, being on the gravel bike makes MTB trails more exciting and fun as well because it's sketchier than an MTB!

[@finnbirks6736]

How did you get up on that with a road bike. Great work Erik 😀😀

[@jtrekventures653]

Truly enjoyed this Eric. What was the name of the peak you climbed? Jory Heber Springs, AR

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome, glad you liked it, such a fun day! It wasn't a named peak that we climbed, more of just a long ridgeline in the Wasatch Mtns.

I live in Utah and this is my dream

[@PorterMTB]

Keep working towards it! Luckily Utah has tons of awesome public riding spots as well!

[@axelbuckets3858]

Porter MTB thanks for the response! It means a lot, I’ve been meaning to ride more of the local canyons and get a bike shop job, have a great day and thanks again!
