[@dadbod4life]

Thank you for the perspective. When I take my kids out i also do it for them, and the memories with them far exceeds the joy I get riding with my friends. The older they get the more exciting its becoming. Nothing makes a tough climb more rewarding than having your 8 year old son in front of you leading the way!

[@PorterMTB]

You totally get it, that's awesome. There really is nothing better than the look on their face when they overcome something hard and have an awesome ride!

[@user-bk9el4bg3b]

I love your videos and its crazy how much miloe has grown. Good on him for waiting untill he is ready and not getting presuered in to doing the pro line.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, that's awesome to hear! It is crazy how big he's gotten!

[@Brinxy13]

Your approach to your kids learning stuff is awesome, no pressure, just having fun and doing stuff when you're ready.

[@PorterMTB]

Good to hear you think the same, keep it fun and safe!

[@divscifres2674]

SO.... I didn't have any of those questions, but sure enjoyed the video! I love that Milo is not in a rush to hit the Pro Line and instead is content to let it come when it's "right." You and your wife are raising those boys well .... best to you all.

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah it's pretty scary, more so than video can ever show haha. They do work well though, he'll do great when he's ready!

[@ericgadlage8975]

Love it!! Great to see another video. Always love the videos and how you are with the family. Such an amazing dad and person.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!! Working on the next vid now!

[@blairburton1234]

I got to follow my kiddo down A-line last summer. One of the best experiences of my life. You guys are going to love it.

[@PorterMTB]

I can't wait for it, I'm sure it'll be scary too though haha!

[@EenGamer.]

I just love your attitude towards slow progression. I have been riding for about 2 months now and obviously took some dives in the first 2 weeks due to overconfidence. But since then I have been slowly working on my skills and slowly increasing jump height, it definitely helps to avoid getting injured and also building my confidence.

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome to hear! There are so many videos saying "send it" and that type of thing, I think the slow steady route is much safer and more fun! Keep having fun and riding and you'll get to where you wanna be!

[@FortniteGeek47]

You’ve inspired me so much and I could watch your videos all day, I love riding my BMX bike but I have always dreamt of just full sending it, doing whips whist in mid air, doing tail whips and bunny hops on sick jumps but I never got the chance because no place around me had a place where I can practice jumps, but I look online and saw a ramp that could make me braver, more confident, happier, my dreams would finally come true, it’s on its way and I grabbed my bike to see tutorials on how to jump, with the help from you and my cheering parents, I’m sure I’ll make it big one day❤❤❤

[@dadbod4life]

The boys are really progressing and I love how you guys are raising them! Amazing family! My son is 8 and my daughter is 5. We ride when we can, but man would it be sweet to have a setup like you guys have at home! Truly amazing!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, that's awesome to hear! We're very lucky to have this setup, I never thought I would but kept working towards it as a long term goal till things lined up finally! Glad to hear you're getting out with the kids as well!

[@phillipstocksdale6317]

Pure gold bro!! Being a father of 4, it’s allll about that long game. You dropped some good knowledge here. 🤘🏼Love your content 🤘🏼

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome to hear, thanks!

[@soloflyingmonkey]

Always love your videos. Family first! Hope your kids take your attitude to life, doesn't matter what they do. Attitude is everything.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, glad you enjoy them! You're right, attitude is everything, I try my best to steer them in the right direction!

[@jeffreyrhoades1305]

Yes to trail dog video. Thanks for modeling how to raise our daughter into a killer biker. The Porter fam rules!

[@PorterMTB]

On it with the trail dog video! With so much negativity in the world I love showing a positive side to parenting and doing fun things with the family, glad you're enjoying it!

[@marcwurth4448]

Very cool format - this is my first video of yours and really appreciate your advices and experience from biking to raising kids and pushing they passion ☺️ Really love your attitude and positive thinking looking forward to check your made and coming videos.

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day!

[@footbalk8819]

currently concussed from a bike crash.(messed up my front rim but other then that my bike is mostly fine)been watching lots of videos by you and berm beak. can’t wait to get back on the trails after i fix up my bike and fully recover!

[@LordWumbology]

Makes my day when a new porter video drops! Best of luck Milo with the pro line, 8 up to 15 ft is a big difference. No rush, it'll be there when you're ready! Now to choose which piece of merch I want 😊

[@PorterMTB]

That's so awesome to hear, thanks! Thanks for the support as well, working on the next vid now!

[@Teracis]

What an interesting look into what makes you you Eric! Same goes for the family, all of your content is great and the family clips are always special, it's fun to watch those with the family and then get asked "Dad, can we go for a ride?" It'd be great to see you come down here to oz, as you already know there are lots of great places to ride and just generally visit!

[@PorterMTB]

I really hope we make it to Oz soon! I love hearing about our videos inspiring people to ride, that is the best!

[@skaterboi6980]

Hey I’m a 12yr old Aussie rider and just to let you know Australian trails are beautiful and have very unique landscapes so a recommendation for trails if you go to Aus is to head to WA and go to Murray valley trails they are very fun and pretty gnarly

[@PorterMTB]

That sounds awesome, I really hope we make it there soon!

[@leobettiol1091]

@@PorterMTB Go to the otways in vic bunch of great trails there

[@PorterMTB]

I love hearing that, keep it up! Can't wait to visit Australia!

Jumps are looking rad!

Thanks, they have been so fun to ride again now that they are melted!

Another great video! Also, what brand/model are those glasses that Milo wears? They look awesome!

[@twowheelsonetrack3666]

Love the video porter, can’t wait to try out the new camelback pack, bike backpacking is the best

[@PorterMTB]

I love bikepacking so much, I think you'll love this pack, it's been really cool to help with the development process!

[@fireroadie6654]

One of your best videos. Love the channel.

Thank you so much, really appreciate that! Have a great day!

I saw you on Berm Peak and I live in Utah. So this is an easy channel to follow!. Thanks for having this.

[@PorterMTB]

Oh that's awesome, hope I see you on the trail someday too!

[@KillSwitch.22]

You're right; I'm an Aussie, I watch you and Australia has really good jumps!

I’m so stoked to watch milo and owen ride Whistler!!!

Me too, can't wait for that trip!!

Good to see the yard now that the snow has melted. Bring on the trail dog video 👍 Thanks for all the great content

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah it's looking good! On it with the trail dog vid!

[@garyharmon5386]

Great video. Milo has really grown since I first started watching your channel and also it is awesome that he is interested in videography. I am a retired photojournalist and I was able to shoot and do so many cool things. I bought my youngest grandson his first Stryder bike. I am giving it to him at the end of June. Btw, it is great that you include your family in your videos and adventures. Y’all pedal safe

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome to hear, it is crazy how much they've grown! Your grandson is going to love the bike, that's great!

[@aussiemtb]

yeah mate! would love to see you in australia!

I can't wait!

My fav slopestyle trick is, a superman double seat grab.

That's a wild trick, I've never done one of those!

[@wakeupandbord]

Thanks for the Mi, shoutout. Born in Michigan and still haven't ridden Copper Harbor since I heard they were so gnarly. Someday though... Keep up the great content!

[@PorterMTB]

Michigan is awesome! Copper Harbor actually has a good mix of gnarly trails and chill fun trails, and lots of great spots on the way up like Marquette and Houghton!

[@parkercurrier3661]

It feels like yesterday you were building Milo’s his line😢

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah same here, time flies!

[@robbraithwaite9905]

I bet Miloe will just keep getting better at his filming and i wish him luck

[@PorterMTB]

I can't wait to see where he takes his riding and his filming, thanks!

[@jacobbrownson8277]

I love how you take the time to try to respond to each and every comment on most videos

[@PorterMTB]

I try to, it means so much to me that everyone takes time out of their busy lives to watch what we do and leave comments saying hi and asking questions!

[@redwoodJB]

Love the shout out to Copper Harbor! I learned to MTB in Marquette, and spent plenty of time in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Such a beautiful and unique place.

[@PorterMTB]

It's incredible there, I was not expecting it to be that good, I'd love to go back for more!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, I'll have to get over there!

[@worgle123]

Can't wait!@@PorterMTB

[@lynxg4641]

Cool Q&A, nice look "into" the Porter family and channel. Insane how much both boys have grown, especially Milo, I'm guessing it's going to take him a bit to get accustomed to all that extra height and being further off the ground, I know that I did when I had such a massive growth spurt. Will be fun to watch both his and "Danger Mouse" progression this year. Eric, Eric, Eric, was that even a real question, do we want to see a trail dog video, really 🤣🤣 Of course we do 😁 Also, of course we'd love an i9 tour and Deity for that matter and what a cheeky tease on the new DB bike, looks interesting.

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed it, I wanted to do a Q&A but make it interesting, this was a fun one to do. Yeah we noticed Milo getting used to his side when snowboarding, but he's figured it out pretty well now! I'll get on the trail dog video, that'll be fun!

[@anthonysgoated]

Yes i would love to see trail dog video's i am trying to train my texas healer into a trail dog! great video.

[@PorterMTB]

Oh nice, that'll be fun. I'll get on it!

[@rated89]

I thought the intro was so cool and then you mentioned Milo was behind it... awesome! Is he ready for the Pro line? I knew the answer was 'yes' before even watching.

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you liked that, it's totally different than anything I've done but was really fun to make, especially working with Milo on it!

[@liamglissmeyer7216]

Super fun video! You guys are so cool!

Chile is one of my favorite places, I was there in 2009 to race the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo and we rode La Parva, Chillan, and also visited Torres Del Paine, it's incredible. We're thinking about going to Chile in November, hopefully!
