Hey Seth, I just wanted to say that your videos have really helped me while I've been off the bike. Last year, the doctors found a bone tumor in my calcaneus (heel bone) which left me unable to walk. After getting it scraped out and filled in with bone graft I'm currently 6 weeks into a 9 month recovery. Thankfully, the pathology report came back as non-cancerous, and your video's have given me hope/motivation to never give up on my ultimate goal of getting back on the bike again. I've got a long road ahead and I've been rooting for you every step of the way! Thank you.

[@katydid5088]

Best wishes for your recovery. Less serious but kind of funny now, an uncle fell off a ladder pruning up the cherry trees. Shattered his heel, but was okay otherwise because he had a protective helmet and good shoes on (helped stabilize the shattered pieces of bone). Trouble was he was by himself on a long hill away from the access road. He dragged himself out and drove to the hospital. Did I mention his truck was a manual? The nurses called him Rambo when he came in. This was the days before cellphones. After that though, we set up walkie talkie protocols for everyone.

[@Eric.Estrada]

Had my first big crash at Amelia Earhart Park about 7 years ago. Before that, I used to do 3 laps at Amelia and drive to VK and do 4 laps at least 4-5 times a week. Took 8 months to rehab and got back on the trails. Road Amelia at my race pace and made it past the turn, only to take a spill on the very next turn after. Took all my confidence away, didn't ride for years. I am now finally back to riding 4-5 times a week, but this time building up to it slowly. Doing on average 4 miles a day, trying to regain my confidence to attack features and build up my speed again. Glad I found your channel recently, as it's really helping me get back into the grind.

[@nooranik21]

I wish I had a friend like Kevin when I was coming back from my injury. The only voices in my ear were those of the reckless and those of the faithless. It took me a good long while to find my groove with no real friends to help me gain my confidence back.

[@pauls3616]

Great job Seth. Congratulations Kevin. I have a friend like Kevin that I have known for close to 40 years and I learned early on that it wasn’t always the best thing to listen to his tidbits of wisdom, probably why I am still alive now. However, I also wouldn’t have done so many different things if it wasn’t for his encouragement. Thanks for the video.

[@MillsyDescentsMTB]

I broke my foot last year riding, re gaining my confidence back on the bike took me a long time.. But now I'm back riding better then before the injury ! all I say to people going through similar things is trust the process, your Drs and believe in yourself. you got this :)

[@MTBMichigan]

Kevin! The best sidekick everyone can have! Congrats Kevin! Also, great video Seth. I did a similar injury in October 2019 and it was a long recovery. I think what helped me build confidence was having support to get back on the bike. I've had a lot of injuries, so support has been the biggest booster for me.

@@levskitoronto holy sh*t, that must've been really really really bad, oh God I can't imagine breaking vertebraes. Wish the best for you.

[@Josh_climbs_]

I just got back from an injury and what helped for me was table tops and you gradually increase your speed until you can clear, repeat several times then do jumps like step ups then you can get back into gaps and stuff. Hope this is helpful 🤟

[@kudosbudo]

what if you just can't clear tabletops even going really fast cos your jumping is terrible and you have nobodoy to help you or train you or show you how to do it? Some of the jumps i'm trying i can go fast and BUNNY HOP further than the jump yet i can't clear the landing.

I'm a massive fan of the Berm Peak KZbin channels, being a forty something year old woman and being new to the mountain biking world I've found the whole "MTB scene" a little daunting.

I hope you get your confidence back Seth.

[@MrNamaikisaru]

Riding BMX at the skatepark, when we were getting ready to leave if anyone said "I'll just have one last go at that something-or-other" it was like the kiss of death. Knowing when you've done enough for the day is important. Now I'm 45 and trying to re-learn things I could do on a bike but haven't in such a long time. I have to trust the fear sometimes and try to sideline at at others. Cool video. Also Kevin appears to be 'that friend' that everyone has.

[@MrBadger123456]

I turn 62 today and bought a new Santa Cruz two weeks ago. I started riding mountain bikes way back when shocks were new and controversial in the racing world and you couldn't shift a bike with power on the pedals, like going up hills. On short climbs we'd just hop off and run the bike to the top. Nobody was really ridding mountain bikes back then (early 80's) so I switched over to road bikes, which I rode and raced USCF for 25 years.....riding straight and avoiding even the smallest bumps in the road. Last week was my first trail ride in 35 years. What people can do now on mountain bikes was absolutely unimaginable 35 years ago. Shocks being the game changer. The reason I fell 5-6 times the first two times out was because of fear and no confidence in the bike to handle trails that at one time would have been considered unpassable. I'm watching all your videos. This was a good one.

[@EpicMTB]

Exactly what I need right now! Legend🤟

[@waynepatton689]

Back in the early spring I fell and broke a vertebrae in my lower spine, a compression fracture. I’m healed up and aside from the normal back issues of a middle aged dude I have zero confidence on my bike now. The weather is nice and my buddies are out riding and I’m contemplating selling my bike. I’ve been riding my gravel bike on trails instead and while that’s fun too, I miss the mountain biking. I am inspired by this Seth!

I think this works for me, Seth. I just started to learn a bike length gap jumps and about 12inches bunny hopping. Went to some local trails and hit some gaps not too gnarly easy enough for a 42 y.o. To hit. One day my son invited me to the trails where gaps are a little longer and a bit higher lip.... long story short, after few cases i decided to level up a bit then crash twice. From then on i lost my confident. Watching this video would help me start over again. Thanks mate, appreciate you. Shout out to Kevin too. He trusted your skills. I cant upload some of my crash video clips here dont know how. But thanks mate. Hope you recover well and back on doing the things you always love and wanted to do. Cheers...

First and foremost congrats kevin!!!!! but seriously the one thing that has stuck with me after 4 ankle reconstructions along with 2 more surgeries to fix my right ankle and dealing with a neuro muscular disease that is slowly killing me Is that things can always be worse. I have broken most of the bones in my body, had more injuries then any one I know and still live day to day with the mindset that things could be worse. I just got back on a bike after nearly 15 years of being away from the sport and it has genuinely changed my mindset once again. living in fear sucks.

Great video Kevin is a solid friend. I would say don't let your friends pressure you into stuff, but positive energy is contagious and helps build confidence. I was struggling with cats paw (at highland) friend said look you've got this, I've been watching you ride. So imma going to tow you in 3x, get the adrenaline out of your system, 4th time you lead me. We did that, and to this day I love that line more than any other. I just remember his energy and confidence he had in me to let me lead the tow once the my nerves settled out. So inspiring. Highly recommend that method of hitting the feature(s) at least 4x to get the adrenaline out and build confidence. But the key was he was positive the whole time.

Perfect capture of the emotions we have to when we push it. Also, agree that having friends pump you up in a group setting is generally a bad idea, but having a friend that knows your riding well and is level headed is good to bounce opinions off. There has been times that I knew I could do something, but I was stalling until a friend I trusted assured me I had it, then hitting it with ease. You gotta know your friends though.
