Building Eric Porter's MTB Garage Workshop

Eric Porter has been a pro mountain biker since before many of us were riding two wheelers, yet his home garage is anything but pro. This weekend, that's going to change. I flew out to Salt Lake City to rip through Eric's garage in what would end up being a gnarly weekend project with long hours.

Everyone is drooling over the garage.... I’m drooling over the lifetime supply of cliff bars 🤤

[@Nathan-qh6lp]

Daily MTB Rider 😂 new too they would be gone in about 5 minutes

[@bananasstuff3344]

Yup

[@rideallegretto1933]

I like Hammer Nutrition bars better I think but cliff bars are still really good.

[@Yonatan24]

I thought Seth would make one of those wall-mounted battery-dispensers, for each individual type of bar. Y'know what I'm talking about? That would be pretty cool.

When does your Netflix series start? "Organizing bike caves with Seth"

[@Leviathandk]

SBH Caves instead of MTV Crips :)

[@feldybikes]

The only thing left to do is have Seth hold up an old 9 speed derailleur and ask, “does this bring you joy?”

[@MrRazorteeth]

Seth can't resist cleaning up someone's garage!

[@michaelskembo4741]

He's welcome to come try to clean mine up anytime!

[@johnpossum556]

He's OCDing into that. But seriously I wish someone would do that for me to my work space.

[@serenityhansen2188]

Make a wall ride at Bern creak

Seth, I got a garage, if I buy you a flight and feed you fine British cuisine? You know the rest..Its currently a conflict of expectation vrs reality

[@tacconelli]

[@jayesh5131]

You've been following him since then 😱 ♥️. Now he has 2.9Million subs 😍

[@benve_luca]

Those kids will clear every single jump in that backyard bf 12, awesome garage upgrade btw

[@tryplecrown]

This and the development of the Hack Shack are probably a couple of my favorites. Love the live edge, raw look on this one! My garage is converted in to a screen printing / vinyl graphics shop that I spend my days in so I'm ALWAYS looking for shop ideas. This was good inspiration. Now I just need to find a place to jack some sweet timber...

You’re not wrong

@@SethsBikeHacks Oh man! Seth, please do more garage builds! That creativity is awesome sauce!

[@johnlove4390]

[@victoriathegreencheekconur5477]

[@kirbycalitis345]

I swear his garage looks better than most bike shops here, not to mention more bikes on display. LOL

[@RealMJSr]

How much for your garage makeover services? Srsly. 👍

[@textilewolf]

Mark Jones I don’t get it. I have been in my house for 4 years and my garage is still a wreck with multiple attempts to rectify. He goes to somebody’s house for a weekend and comes it out fantastic! I am not sure if I should feel motivated or depressed 😂. Great Work Seth. I’d take some more garage makeover videos!

[@Torchedini]

@@textilewolf Start your attempt with throwing everything outside. Then figure out what you want to put back. Usually attempts fail because you keep stuff in place because it is a good place for it.

[@aNOMaly_..]

@@textilewolf look more at ideas used in here than at the time from start to finish, that should help ;) Im going clean my now 🙆‍♂️

[@buddinglearner7085]

Bro get a dirt bike you’ll never wanna ride a quad again

[@rogerserafin]

After watching this, I need to rebuild my workbench area in my garage. Thanks Seth.

[@I53-624]

Eric is truly living the dream! Beautiful home, beautiful scenery, and an amazing back yard!

[@aldod.6269]

And a garage that it's better than ever😂

[@geexskill]

Get back there in 2 mounths, the mess will be back!

[@jaymason480]

Know matter what you do with your video's I'm always entertained. Every week I'm looking forward to see your videos

What a good guy helping out and enjoying the outdoors.Nothing better than that

[@benmilstein5654]

seth you've got a backup career as garage-whisperer if this youtube thing ever goes south... :)

[@frankbeast2483]

On this episode of Hoarders we have Eric Porter, an avid mountain biker and cyclist and while he may keep his bikes in pristine condition, his house is another story...

[@midwaymountaineer6945]

Seth I am a new mountain biker and trying I’ve got the team. I just realized that I have meet Eric porters family at the pump track lately. You and Eric are a big inspiration and keep doing what your doing. And thank Eric for his family being to nice and offering help when I got a flat. Anyway to sum it up thanks for all of the help you have given me. O

[@gregcavanaugh6259]

Seth, as a "retired" KZbinr and a teacher who spends countless amounts of energy trying to teach kids how to "at the end of the day" it, I have to say, you're the master of conclusions. I really appreciated your line about "putting it on the calendar" and how that applies to tackling any challenge...your ability to tie-in worthwhile life-lessons into entertaining MTB vids is on point. Thanks for your content.

[@AlvB218]

7:47 I really like that bike in the background

[@wheeliefish5161]

At first I thought you were redoing the hack shack already🤣

You should do a pimp my garage video to MY garage! Ooo what a good idea! :D

[@drakewoodingsbmx2904]

Seth come ride flat fork in fishers Indiana

[@chambers326]

M is for MTB I’m from Indianapolis and have never rode flat fork. Interested tho

[@skylarpeppler8261]

I just did the same thing to our garage. We sold my grandpa's house and I got a ton of sweet tools. The garage was over flowing with clutter. Now it's looking like a real shop. So excited!

[@timothygodfrey9507]

You are living my dream. I grew up on mountain bikes and riding with my family. I bought my first mountain bike which is a khs xc 104. I now married and have a son have hit the bike bug again. I’m making plans to get my wife a bike and when he is old enough my kid. Thank you for all the help tips and tricks that have been provided by your videos. One day I hope to be able to go out and ride as much as you.

[@ejhayes76]

"Everything a kid needs to transform nuts into circles". Love it!

[@shredbiking6434]

Hey Seth, great vid as always, keep up the good work🤘🤘🤘

[@sdranch2800]

I know this video is older, but I’m still playing catch up since I found your channel. I love it, that garage is beautiful! Can’t wait to do mine up. Thanks for all the inspiration I get from your channel!

[@brodiemacleod69]

Honestly if you never even mountain bilked and stuff was this was all your content is, I would still probably end up watching it, and enjoying it. you’re the only person that can make home Reno and organization, very entraining. Gg

[@sammy6305]

Right when I started watching your channel I got a KILLER deal on a high end mountain bike. Fully committing to MTBing🙌🏻

[@lynxsy9177]

Good afternoon Seth, have a great day

[@BMad-we6qf]

Loving these videos! Moved back to my childhood home last year after my parents both passed. Last year was cleaning and painting the house. This year is organization. It includes a new shed, 16’ x 20’, for the bike workshop and adventure storage which will free up a smaller shed and the garage. Once they are sorted, they, along with the basement wood shop can be set up. The bike shed is 2 months overdue and it’s driving me nuts! Thanks for the envy and the ideas! :)

[@mylesgarcia6339]

Yes I’m always updated for your videos Seth!!

[@noahfreeman6491]

I love your channel, keep up the great work!

That was a walkie talkie

[@attl3e286]

Always so happy when you upload something satisfying like this

[@utahoutings]

Seth, thanks for the video! My daughter just noticed that you are left handed (when you were sketching up the design), you are her favorite KZbinr even more now!

[@triciaflanagan5668]

7:40 already putting stuff on the work bench...😅😄

[@rideallegretto1933]

Nice video that’s a super sick garage, are you going to make a Seth’s bike hacks hat? It would be really cool if you did👍🏼

[@kennykeagy7584]

You’re amount of creativity blows me away. Love the mountain feel to the new garage

[@neaht1103]

Yo Seth your videos are so nostalgic it's just so good to watch.

[@Gabriela-jc4pt]

Seth can you do a video on how to change from caliper brakes to disc brakes? Preferably in noob language :DD

[@natgeoba7377]

Gabriela first of all do your frame and fork have holes for disc brakes ? If not, change the bike. If yes I’ll answer later

@@piciu256 he also looks like he's 12, so simmer down.

[@piciu256]

@@tuckerstewart5138 sorry, but I don't even know what that means. Also, my comment was more general than pointed at a perticular person, in advance for other comments "yeah man I hope I could have a bike like that too" In addition, if he really is 12yo then there is an even more insentive to stop whining.

Seth, that is 100% awesome! I'm slowly bringing my garage/workshop along, and my next project is a fold-up work bench that will cover my pegboard/tools, but fold away when I need to get a second car in the garage. Your video makes me want to start on it NOW!
