I Decided To Go Home. Big Mistake.

[@zero.gravity.riders]

I love your videos

[@TeamCykelhold]

You are the coolest and weirdest MTB youtuber I watch. I love every episode you make. Even though I love your husbands videos too, there is something about your videos I always just find so funny and uplifting. I am happy you started a channel too.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoy watching them😁

[@tiagoweyne6661]

it sucks that you couldn't see your family for those 7 days, any chance you guys could go to japan for a bike trip? it would be so different!!!!

[@VanGirlYuka]

We’d love to go back to Japan to ride again😁

[@marlinmaas]

They did. A few years back ( should be on bcpov). But I’d love to see them go again too and this time more from Yuka‘s perspective.

[@森雅之-v3q]

ゆかさん帰国してたんですね❗ 何か踏んだり蹴ったりですね😅 しかし、仰る通りこれからは良いことしかないでしょう❗ 楽しんでいきましょう‼️🚵‍♀️

I wish you stay better. I'm mountain biker too. Likes from Brazil

[@とらんじ]

元気で良かった。 安心しました！

[@Ben_Kasper]

One thing about yours video that I didn’t realize until now is your really good at telling an entertaining story Which is where I struggle in my videos and hope to get better at. I hope you are riding soon!

[@tonyd1660]

Good to see that you're getting better and that you can maintain your sense of humor even faced with unfortunate situations. Keep smiling and healing. You'll be back at it soon enough!

[@tonywright3986]

Wow we can all learn about perseverance from your videos Strength personified!!!

[@vitaliyg.9257]

Yuko, it's such a pleasure to watch and hear your stories. Really wish you a quick recovery, take care! Your Ukrainian fan ;)

[@juliatravelstotokyo4695]

I am SO GLAD I found your channel! I love your content

[@HanginAZ]

Glad you are on the mend Yuka! Things can only get better.

[@rodent]

hope you get back in the bike in no time!, get well soon Yuka, greetings from Chile.

[@takuanyoshizawa1759]

ユカさん、怪我からの回復おめでとうございます。いつもあなたの動画を拝見していると底抜けの明るさ・いやな顔一つも見せないお人柄＝尊敬です。帰郷されると知っていたら是非ともお会いしたかったです。今後のご活躍を東京から応援します。

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Yuka just goes full send! Be careful Yuka, you ride without fear, wish I had your courage.

[@Teamgfamchannel]

Get welll soon @vangirlyuka Can't wait to see you get back on trails

[@UenoLocker54]

Sorry that happened looks like you were having a bunch of fun.

[@VanGirlYuka]

It was a blessing!

[@trevoredensor7114]

Yeh me too....admire your attitude to biking and your determination to overcome any obstacle you meet on the trail ...very inspirational...hope that you're soon recovered and back on your bike 👍👍👍

[@jcreeker5581]

Great to see that you are recovering. Glad you had a chance to go home. Hope to see you on a bike soon.

[@SemiSendy]

I am so hungry now! Those roasted sweet buns! Having to sit out covid in a hotel and miss out on the rest of your family, friends and food journey is a bummer. But you are right, things will surely turn up and you'll be all the more grateful when you return to your normal comfort.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I couldn't complete the whole list of what to eat in Japan. I must go back there again!

[@AncientEnergyEyesOpen]

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@gnmatsu]

So glad you got to see family and friends. Continue to heal up and look forward to seeing you ride again. Aloha!

[@conorprovan9435]

Heal up Yuca. Thank you for sharing japan with us. 😮

[@bronsdog]

Really nice seeing you have a nice time with you family, and enjoying the comforts of home. Get well soon!

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

Yuka, your so funny always entertaining, good to see you keeping your spirits up after your bad crash, I bet it was great to see your family in Japan, but great to be back in B.C with Eric, you will soon be back on your bike,🚵🏞️👍

[@dakac5]

Glad you got to go home even if you had to spend sometime in isolation. Family is always the best medicine.

[@VanGirlYuka]

it's been 5 years so it was very nice to see family and friends😁

[@EsmeeAnnamarie]

I broke my sacrum (the big bone right above the tailbone) a few years ago and I can still remember how much that hurt. It really is the worst place to break something because it's right in the middle of your body so you feel it with every movement you make. I can't imagine trying to make it through a 13 hour flight with a break like that. It would be agony! I'm glad you had a good time in Japan with your family though. I think that's really helpful in the healing process.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Only good thing was that I didn't have any jet lag because I couldn't sleep during the flight🤣

[@CalebD413]

I can't wait to go back to Japan. It is such a wonderful country. The hot springs are my favorite!

[@01FozzyS]

So sorry to hear,Yuka! Be well and safe!

[@corymcmanues7905]

I too love Japan, my last three years in the Navy were spent in Sasebo. That's awesome that you were able to go home and spend some time with family. Even though you came down with Covid you still got some time with them.

[@HarrisFS]

Good to see you're getting better. Looking forward to MTB vids when you're 100%

[@klassyken]

Yuka, you are an absolute trooper and an inspirational legend! I just herniated my disk for the second time this year so I feel you pain and frustrations, being useless, living on the floor etc. If you guys are even in Bend Oregon, look me up for a ride!

[@shred-hermtb9113]

Glad to see you are on the mend Yuka. Happy you got to see your family...even if it was cut short 🙏

[@fatantisbacon897]

Lisa and I love your videos.　We miss Whistler very much. Thank you for sharing your experiences. 頑張ってね！お大事になさってください。❣❣

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you for watching😁

[@earthzero7]

Our hope for you is continued healing, happiness and a full recovery this holiday season! Thanks for these wonderful vlogs.

[@mgmatiasek]

Mmmmm, the food looked so good! Keep on healing Yuka!

[@ImCoolLikeThat]

Yuko you absolutely crack me up, I love whenever one of your videos comes out.... Other than the ones where you get hurt.

[@rmack611]

I’m so happy you got to see home and family for at least a little while! That had to be refreshing even if it didn’t go as planned!

[@miessasi]

Eric was getting all excited about getting to ride with you again😊. I guess he has to wait for few more weeks?

[@rascal1234]

Sorry to hear that your trip did not go as planned. I hope you got to see your family. Great to see you are healing well. Have a great Christmas and Happy new years to you and Eric!

[@san_costa]

Glad to see your healing progress :)🙂

[@MTB_Trekker]

Onwards and upwards Yuka! Best wishes to you both.

[@RyanDillonMTB]

Cool to see a glimpse of your life in Japan. Best of luck with the recovery.

[@ValleSVida]

You are awesome Yuka! And tough as an Ox! Wish you a speedy recovery!

[@1911Zoey]

Winter season seems like injury season. 😅 Broke some bones in my body too. Hope you can get back on your bike as soon as you can!

[@sabrinalovesbikes]

Well done getting through this and still being so positive. My heart jumped when I saw that crash. Glad you didn’t get hurt more than you did. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. ❤

[@Team81MTB]

I'm glad to see that you're healing up Yuka and have not lost your appetite. 😂

[@VanGirlYuka]

Never

[@sdtrailrider8070]

I'm sorry your trip had to end that way. I hope you can go back soon and finish your to do list!

[@felixajorg]

Heal soon, can't wait to see you next video

[@cgriggsiv]

Young lady I am wishing you the most luck in your recovery that you could have so please for the love of God please take it easy

[@jean-marcvienne]

Don’t be hurry to bike again, recovery first, get well soon

[@ericsharp5079]

Great video! So sorry about all the rough times you are having. Take care and get better!

[@B1KER]

Your trip home is about the same way mine goes. EAT AAALLLLLL THE FOOD! LOL, it's always my favorite thing to do as well. Sometimes I wonder if I miss the food more than the people.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Now I have to join you for diet…I’ve gained 5kg🤣

[@zacharypump5910]

you are easily my favorite KZbinr right now. Keep being YOU please! Also, no need to take crazy mountain bike risks for my entertainment :)

[@1239875650]

Great Video! sucks you got covid while traveling but glad you are healed up now! I broke my wrist 3 months ago and am just getting back into riding park. Try and take it slow and no reason to rush things! Ride and your own level and progress when you are comfortable. We all can't be Brandon Semenuk and Emil Johansson. as much as we would like to be!

[@VanGirlYuka]

I'm trying to restrain myself but it's hard! I hope your wrist heals up soon!

[@jefnatuurfilmer]

It Is Always Good To Stay Positive.

[@terr256]

I just came back from the Philippines after 2.5 years of not being able to visit due to Covid. I can definitely relate to this, especially the food part and how cheap it is there! Also was amazing to see family again!

[@miguelortiz4446]

Poor Yuka! What a rough patch in your life. Glad to see your healing and on the upswing. Take all the time you need to get better to get back on the bike. I really enjoyed your video (as always). Now I'm craving some Japanese food!😛

[@paularthur6456]

Don't be in rush to get back on the bike before your wrist is rehabbed. After breaking my wrist it took a couple of months of P.T. before it was strong enough to ride. I wear a wrist brace now for protection from future crashes.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I'm trying to tape around my wrist too. Still a bit stiff...

[@josephtuck6029]

this makes me want to visit my wife's family in Japan even more!!

[@VanGirlYuka]

You must!

[@dansacco1964]

Thanks for the great tour of Japan. You are inspiring! Keep healing and moving forward!

[@IvanLiew1404]

Get well soon ! Mountain biker here too. Sending positive and healing vibes all the way from singapore ! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@ultimatemonkey]

Sorry to hear you got stuck in a room for 7 days. But getting home to see family is always important regardless! Happy to see your injuries healing as well!

[@rlh347]

Great video Yuka! Everything goes up now 👏😁

[@Nzi.16]

Healing Vibes Van Girl. ❤ from Singapore.

[@marysullivan1588]

Glad you got your cast off and got to see your family . Sorry you got Covid !

Prayers For a Healthy And Speedy Recovery Process I Hope your Body Will Heal In Due Time so you can get back to Riding again and do what you do best Is Show Off Your Skills if you Ever need Any Suggestions on where to Ride Mountain Bike I Know Two Places That are 45 Minutes away From Me And I can go Riding With You As I am a Rider To.

@@miguelortiz4446 what do you mean Too ?

[@miguelortiz4446]

😄Sorry for not explaining JJNation. I 'liked' your comment but you used 'to' instead of 'too' for the last word in your comment. I know, I know, I'm being that guy that's a stickler for grammar.🤪 I mean no malice fellow Yuka fan!🤙

[@sksjdj11928]

Cheers to your great spirit turning painful experience to exciting journey movie. Wish you could get on the saddle soon.

[@thaited]

Always great videos, except when you get injured. This video was fantastic, I would love to see more of you in Japan. I think I would have stayed in Japan for many months. Great to see you’re recovering well. Alan.

[@Mr229357]

A lot of nice food 😊👍🏻. Take care of your hand.

[@scblurlt1962]

happy to see you back on the mend , Japan looks like such a fab place ,

[@VanGirlYuka]

It is✨ I thought I had enough of Japanese Japan when I got COVID but now I want to go back again 🤣

[@stephendoggett190]

I just came back from Japan after being there for two weeks; your video brought back fond memories - thank you Yuka. I can still remember those wonderful pancakes I had in Kyoto - Japanese pancakes are the best and the burnt caramel sauce was delicious. I could jump back on the plane just to experience those again!

[@Kona810]

散々な帰省だったようですが、それでも楽しそうでよかったです。手首のリハビリ、頑張ってください。

[@JimCockerham]

Glad to see that you are healing. Japan looks awesome!

[@druchii89]

Super glad to see you're healing very well! :) Nice trip to Japan too, too bad about getting Covid though :(

[@marlinmaas]

For those of you who don’t know, Gunma isn’t a city, but a whole prefecture. I think the problem would be that Gunma is so rural naming a city or village for that matter would be giving away too much info as they are so small. Interesting side fact: Gunma is so rural and with that so different from other parts of Japan that some Japanese say you need a passport to travel there. I love the place!

[@VanGirlYuka]

Have you visited Konnyaku Park (こんにゃくパーク) or Mentai Park Gunma (めんたいパーク群馬)? Japanese create such weird them parks🤣 I would've gone there if I didn't get COVID...

[@marlinmaas]

@@VanGirlYuka I’ve been to konyaku park and the safari park on my way to a seminar once. I totally ruined my stomach though 😓 I kinda blame it on konyaku ramen and レバ. Next time I hope I’ll have the chance to visit the mentai park. Also, while I was working in Gunma they took me to where 原田ラスク is made and where kokeshi are crafted. So there actually is a lot to do in Gunma and all the onsen!! Now I feel a bit „homesick“ (even though home is actually Germany).

[@mattmiller5673]

I love Tokyo and all the food. Convenience store food is so good in Japan. Hope your PT goes well.

[@NerdsonDirtMTB]

Robot cat!! Do want!!! Sorry you missed out on some things on your trip.

[@mike_rides_mtb02]

Good to see you get well 😊😊😊😊

[@benitezjosem30]

Yuka get well soon.

[@Dailydose13]

Do you guys also ski or snowboard? Maybe not the best idea when recovering from a broken wrist and tailbone, but then again, that Japanese deep powder would be like airbag everywhere.

[@norimitsuwada353]

日本に一時帰国されていたんですね‼️ そうですよ‼️ これから、上へ上へと上がる時ですよ✨ 飛行機の離陸と合わせた編集とてもいいですね✨ これからも、動画楽しみにしております✨

I'm glad you had some down tine to heal and visit your family. I'm looking forward to more wild boar videos! But without the crashes!!

[@dirttdude]

my wife had a horrible crash right in front of me. the incident is forever engraved in my mind. shock and disbelief and hope and guilt and fear rolled into one powerful emotion.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I hope your wife didn't get hurt much. It's not your fault; it's all the rider's choice. A bad thing happens from time to time. Be happy and enjoy the moment☺️

[@Pepeng-Basa]

I LOVE YOUR ACCENT YUKA

[@trailjockeytj6160]

Could be worse. I got COVID in Japan and was isolated in a hospital for 8 days in Osaka despite having only minor symptoms
