How I Ride Trails I'm Not Used To! // Highland Bike Park

[@riffmeisterkl]

I love the scenery in autumn - the maple leave colours are amazing !

[@VanGirlYuka]

The colors are awesome here🤩 we don't see much in BC

[@chandlerburrell3001]

[@dcsam9142]

I like how you personified going to a new park was like going to a party and making new friends (trail features). And how Eric wanted more drama at the party 😁!

[@MikeKoPhotography]

Your analogy of going to a party is so right on!

[@SpacemanXC]

You have the most inspiring MTB channel on youtube. Every time I watch your videos, I just want to go out and ride. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@workhorsemtb7075]

Yuka, you make the BEST videos! Thanks. Have fun guys

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you Workhorse MTB 😆

[@Happy_Biker]

You set us up; "I don't think I can do these," and then you do! So excellent.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thanks Happy Biker 😆

[@ch007eh7]

The colour of these leaves is just amazing 🍂🍁😍😇!

[@Oper8or]

Yuka you are such an inspiration to so many people. Great video once again! Tell Eric he is too. I love his videos and i've told him on his channel as well!

[@scotti_wan_kenobi]

@6:28 Yuka, you should get "Maximize the joy" stickers made. 😁🤘

[@jonsl2000]

Like sounds Yuka makes while riding :)

[@Callawaygolfer]

Jon Lee - WPIA lmao

[@MTBZenMaster]

Gosh Yuka you are way better than you know. The gopro effect is real, those features are way bigger and intimidating in person. Hellion tables are significant. Trust me ive crashed off of one of those tables. Great work Yuka! -Sam

[@MTBZenMaster]

Oh and check out my mountain creek Ep2 progression pep talk video. I talk about envisioning success. 🤙🏽

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thanks Sam 😊 I'll check it out 👍

[@Maw0822]

You crushed it! You're jumping skills have come so far

[@roberttemme6162]

Good video Yuka. You and Eric are becoming my favorites. I know how important it is to know the trail before you let loose. Pre-ride, re-ride, free-ride. Keep up the good work. Bob T

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you Bob 😊 sometimes we became too cautious and couldn't jump out or drop but it's better than sorry 👍

[@roberttemme6162]

@@VanGirlYuka I agree 100%.

[@tom.allez2134]

Yuka you keep doing what you’re doing. Because you’re doing great!

[@SoCalChoppas]

I love what you do...very inspiring...keep your sound effects coming!

[@quinnduffy6689]

Your jumping is getting so good! Some serious air time on a bunch of those features. So fun to watch your progression!

[@VanGirlYuka]

I'm kinda scared that I crash really bad one day on jumps 😂 I sound shouldn't watch Friday Fails

[@Happy_Biker]

@@VanGirlYuka I can't watch fails videos, at least not regularly. Freaks me out.

[@jasoncapecod]

your vids are great and your commentary is delightful...your vids always make me smile..thanks

[@richr7604]

You're a smart fiber knowing your limitations and not doing a feature. Keep sending it!!

[@VanGirlYuka]

I really want to go back there and see if I can do those now

[@shanti3152]

Another gorgeous trail, Van Girl Yuka! Well done.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you Shanti 😊 if you want to try MTB I can take you nice and easy one ❤️

[@shanti3152]

Thank you, Yuka san ....

[@matthewcove8597]

Another excellent video good to see people being honest about there trail riding

[@VanGirlYuka]

We can't be always awesome but that's okay 👍

[@matthewcove8597]

@@VanGirlYuka your honesty is what makes you and this vid awesome

[@ch007eh7]

13:11 Perfect seated landing. 😆😥😙🤗

[@bostonbhudda2923]

Haha that’s my local bike park!!! Glad you enjoyed, was hoping you guys would get there at some point. Some of the stuff there is a lot less intimidating on a downhill bike :)

[@VanGirlYuka]

I kinda want to get DH bikes for Whistler. DH bikes are much better in a bike park. You have a great bike park 👍

[@saywhaatnow]

Your jumping progression is so inspiring!

[@VanGirlYuka]

We learned that jumping is all about confidence 😂

[@Mr229357]

Nice day on the bike. Stay awesome 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

Great Stuff Yuka and Eric 🚴🚴😉👌🤟🤟🤟🤟

You're my hero Yuka! Goal is to hit the drops on Helion next time!

[@joodmcthrowaway7692]

Good progression yuka!

[@zer0bytes2000]

Great video ! Thanks Yuka!

[@Graptos]

Eric is such a drama 👸, 🐈 🐾 for the 🏁.

[@DontAskHowIGotIt]

Yuka crushing Hellion!

[@gantabi]

12:20 the real reason i use flat pedals, great vid none the less.

[@patcoston]

I tried clip-in pedals but I fell like Erik. I couldn't get my foot out as I fell over. I felt helpless, so I went back to platform pedals.

[@craigjeans928]

Hi yuka I love watching your videos I’m a mountain biker to but don’t get o. The trails much in Sydney you should look at MTB videos it’s a huge race it’s on every yeah it’s called mega avalanche it’s starts off in the snowy mountains then goes to ground level an I loved the video of you riding Tasmania that was so good keep it up

[@piko69]

love the choice of music for hellion lol

[@gabby07001]

GREAT JOB YUKA! YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY! ;) YOU MOTIVATE ME HAHA

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you SheMTNBiked😆 there were still bigger features and I have to work on. Can't wait to go back 👍

[@MrManderson75]

[@AdventureTrailsMTB]

Another great video. Hey what hubs do you guys have? They sound amazing

[@VanGirlYuka]

My hubs are chris king. Eric's are...I believe they are onyx

[@taylor1348]

Your run at 8.00, so fast. Scary watching!

[@riffmeisterkl]

Send it Yuka!

[@americantrailrider7031]

You are a great rider, would love to ride with you guys one day.

[@RobbisTV]

In your defence: The tech trail(s) seemed quite leaf covered, and that (for me anyways) doesn't inspire confidence. Especially in technical sections. Tech track's are my favourite personally, and I HATE riding them when they're covered in leaves. You can't see so many crucial elements of the trail ie. certain rocks, holes, roots, ruts etc. It just makes it very unpredictable. I have a feeling if the trails were clear of leaves, you would've both had more fun and rode those spicy tech sections with more confidence (strong like lion). Keep up the shreds you two, love the video's! Hope to meet and ride with you guys next season, cheers from Toronto, Canada \m/ :)

[@VanGirlYuka]

We missed Toronto and Niagara falls 😢 yes, leaves make everything harder and it's so easy to crash on. We're not used to ride on leaves since BC trails don't have much leaves. But on the other hand, even we crashed the thick leave blanket embrace us👍 l kinda like it 🤩

[@RobbisTV]

@@VanGirlYuka Next time :D. Very good points! Damn I gotta ride BC, another reason to love it. Not much leaves on the trails, yes please! haha

[@wordreet]

You cleared some pretty big jumps even though you didn't know the trails!! I'm counting the time you were in the air, and counted one--two and maybe another half second on one of them. Heh, maybe my brain clock is slow or fast, I dunno. 🤔

[@VanGirlYuka]

Sometimes I feel scared while I'm in air 😂

[@wordreet]

@@VanGirlYuka Ah, hmm, too late methinks!!! 😄

[@ぼちぼち歩き]

いつも楽しい動画ありがとうございます😊 それにしても海外には楽しいトレイルがたくさんあるんですね！日本にももっと楽しいトレイルたくさんできてほしいな😵

[@VanGirlYuka]

バイクパークは最高ですね😊日本はスキー場が多いので可能性はたくさんあると思うのですが、やっぱりマウンテンバイクに乗る人が少ないからですかね🤔

[@ぼちぼち歩き]

Van Girl Yuka ですね。まだまだ、MTB人口は少ないです。MTBを販売している自転車屋さんもとても、少ないですね😰

[@anuar.m.y]

i feel Ms yuka could flow much easier if she loosens up a little and feel like she is white-knuckling the handlebar, she is so nimble but cautious! plus she is very small (petite) which helps with movement and flow!

[@threeohm]

You should get VanBoyEric to video you so we get some sweet 3rd person footage of you killing it. :)

[@VanGirlYuka]

Maybe I can tow Eric into jumps one day 😆 actually... It's coming soon!!

Yup, she sent it off Super 8 to flat on Captain Ahab, even Eric didn't try that one.

0:20 Fun fact about the "Pinkbike" drop, it's not actually called Pinkbike. When the first drop was built there, it's original name was called Old Growth. The drop was smaller and ended up being too close to the landing so they rebuilt it. The new drop was pushed back and higher so they named it New Growth. People only think the drop is called "pinkbike" because that's where we sold Pinkbike's ad real-estate. The sign on the drop doesn't give the drops name. If the was the case, Thombstone would be called the Highland drop.
