Lifelong BMX Rider tries mountain bike at Whistler

This short film premiered in front of a live audience at Crankworx 2018, and was funded by Diamondback Bicycles and Box Components. It was for a film competition called Dirt Diaries, in which it won third place. The actual name of the film is "A Bigger Swing Set".
The rules were that the film must be 6 minutes or less, and feature Whistler Blackcomb and/or Whistler Valley.
The film is centered around my childhood friend, Scott, who is still a BMXer. He has never touched a mountain bike! I knew that the best way to get him hooked would be to introduce him to downhill, since jump trails would be so familiar to him.
Someday I'll take Scott out for a proper climb, and show him about suffering. Hopefully he still loves mountain biking after that! In filming this Dirt Diaries entry, I certainly think we made Scott a believer.

BMX transfers ultra easily to MTB. Everything you learn on a BMX just becomes natural on a bigger set. Couldnt ride my MTB for a month because of weather and othet thingies, but rode a bmx on AN indoor pumptrack quite often. Suddenly able to hit jumps twice as big as big with no fear

The seats are way too high. I've grown up on BMX, and rriding a bike with a very tall seat is like standing with a cushionup ny ass. It also makes the habdlebars feel lower. And I've ridden a bike with low handle bars. Itls hard to control. It's very limiting have something between your thighs than between just your shins I have my fair share of jumping a tiny ramp with a high seat. My fcn ass slams into the seat I never sit down and peddle. Only time I sit is when cruising

[@AFO_AnalyRics]

3:27 "I didn't get a single look." Yes, mate. No one looks at you wrong or mocks you on a mountain bike because everyone understands that when you're basically competing with mother nature's crazy creativity, ANYBODY can get it. Nothing is smoothened out or structured here.

[@polychromatism3078]

As a BMX guy I can now say I finally get it. I kind of understand mountain biking more than ever because of his explaining. Blowing down some trails always looked fun but I thought to myself I can have more fun on my BMX in a skatepark. Thanks Seth and especially Scott. I might get a mountain bike.

[@bad45acp19]

I just started from BMX to MTB. It's pretty wild. The whole bunny hop getting weird on full suspension is true too. Fun stuff flying through the hill side bouncing across boulders. Police not arresting you for grinding rails. Good stuff.

[@likeaboss882]

It’s absolutely worth it man. So much more variety. I looooove bmx. It’s my thing. But my rocky mountain slayer is definitely a big bmx bike that likes to party in the woods. There’s a lot to learn about mtbs but its really rewarding

i have a question for anyone who can answer. i recently got a raleigh tokul 2 and am just starting to do more and more biking. i went to a dh park with this bike and shortly after the brakes broke. should i start saving for a new bike due to my icreasing riding ability, or just kit it out with better parts? edit: im 12 btw so will grow out of it in a year and a half-also starting to do jumps

I would suggest to get a new bike and sell the Raleigh. Craigslist is a good place to look. I got a great deal on my 2012 Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon off Craigslist. $1200.

Great idea taking someone who never rode. Honest take: it started out slow, roped me in, but ended a little abruptly. Nonetheless, great video Seth. As I watched it I thought to myself this guy needs to do a MTB documentary. I’ve had an idea about a feature length documentary about MTB KZbinrs. I would expect to see a person with a beginning channel, a few in the middle, and a few with big channels like you and your buddies. Really chronicle the path. I think it would be a perfect project for you with your resources.

Spent my teenage years riding bmx every spare minute I had and I thought nothing in the world could replace it. about 10 year after I stopped riding any bike in general, I picked up a mountain bike following a friend and it completely changed my view on riding bikes. Always used to think if you aren't doing tricks or riding walls or grinding rails that's not fun or exciting. Now I am so humbled and see myself so little and weak against the mother nature.

[@JonnyJonvilleJonathan]

You know, I find it interesting, because I kind of felt the same way when I stopped longboarding for biking. I thought, longboarding had been so good to me, and now I like biking much better. Don't get me wrong, I still love skating, but biking just feels right. There's a feeling you get on a bike that you just don't get anywhere else. (the same could be said for skating as well) But, at the same time, I don't feel like you're betraying anything. You're just doing what you love and what you feel is right. And I don't think it should be done any other way.

This made me tear up because it made me think about how one of my best friends introduced me to surfing and it changed my life.
