I've Dreamed About This Ride For Years - Riding A Volcano In Ecuador With My Family

I've been dreaming about taking my family here to ride this volcano for 8 years, they are finally ready for it! We rode down Cotopaxi Volcano in Ecuador, this is one of my all time favorite rides!

This has to be one of my favorite channels not just for mountain biking but over all. Eric takes his family on amazing trips but you can tell he and his wife are raising those boys right. Doing dangerous things safe and having good family values.

[@PorterMTB]

That's so awesome to hear, thanks!! It's not the easiest route but super rewarding, we're having a lot of fun together!!

[@LordWumbology]

The way you parent is inspiring.

[@PorterMTB]

That's great to hear, I'm trying my best!

[@rockyb.7170]

As a father, seeing your kid riding a bike, and for certain, about to crash, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop it from happening, is heartbreaking. The crash my daughter went through, who was hurt and crying at the time (7yr old), definitely felt down about it. But after a few words of encouragement, similar to what happened to Owen with his Dad, she was able to believe in herself, and rode back all the way home. The heart break feeling quickly turned into both a sense of feeling inspired and proud of my seven year old. Great video Eric, your boys are very lucky to have you.

[@PorterMTB]

Totally agree, it's a horrible feeling. So awesome when they learn how to handle it though and grow from it, good life analogies there! You've got years of fun adventures coming up with your daughter!!

[@zacharypump5910]

As a Dad with a kid who’s learning to do “real mountain biking”. Thanks for making this kind of content! It’s so valuable to see real footage of real families with the successes and mistakes and lessons. Honestly thank you

[@heshwuan]

What an awesome trip--an experience to never forget. Thanks for sharing with us, Porter family.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks for watching, it really was an incredible trip, working on the next video from the trip now!

[@Hipnohippie]

Porter always seems like such a good dad. I certainly appreciate my dads approach of, once he made sure i was okay, he would just start laughing. Not everyone's family is the same but it I never let a crash ruin my day anymore. Regardless of the approach you take its always good to see people getting to enjoy these things with their family.

[@edwards8383]

Owen was unfazed by his tumble lol. Dad was freakin 😄👏 love how he lay there and just said "Told you dad" Owen is a CHAMP!

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah the "Told you dad" was hilarious, glad he was ok, it scared me for sure!

[@Ben_Kasper]

I love how milo was able to recognize when he almost crashed that he was overconfident, found the problem and fixed it Hopefully owen can look back at his crash and remember not to do that again over the videos of been able to tell that owen’s biggest problem is taking both his feet off in riding on his seat, which can cause some pretty sketchy incidents. And your doing a great job parenting by taking your kids on these adventures and showing them great life lessons when I was a little bit younger than I am my parents bought an RV and lived in it for the whole summer and now I’ve been to over half the states in the US and 4 countries, which was one of the coolest things about my life and I love that you’re doing that for your kids

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah Milo is really getting things figured out, it's pretty awesome to see his confidence and abilities progress. Owen as well, I'd agree on his feet, that method worked well for him on the smaller bikes but not as well on the bigger one haha. He's getting it figured out quickly though. We also figured out that Milo has better braking control so he was actually going a bit slower than Owen was able to which ended up being part of why Owen lost control not being able to slow down like Milo. That's really cool your parents did that, I would love to be able to travel nonstop all summer!!

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed it, that's awesome your girl is out there shredding, and the crash just ended with some minor scrapes! Gotta give the kids a chance to test themselves and figure things out without pushing too hard, they have plenty of time for that when they get older. Thanks for watching!

[@divscifres2674]

I really enjoy seeing this family adventure! I love the scenery and inside look at the area ... but I especially appreciate that you share how the terrain presents different challenges to each family member ... and how you learn and support one another

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you liked it!! I can't believe I'm able to do stuff like this with the whole crew, it's a lot of years in the making but all that work and patience is definitely paying off!

[@tomsing98]

My daughter is 10, just about Owen's age, and she had a crash going over a drop this past weekend. Skinned up her elbow. She took a couple minutes to be mad and cry a bit, and then we were back on the bikes. (Although she got mad again when we cleaned it up back at the car!) So cool to see kids test themselves, learn that they can push through a challenge, and keep going after a setback! Good job to you and Megan for giving them the space and support!

[@rcranes2227]

Nice job. It's a challenge for me to go out climbing or MTBing with my kids. I see them managing risk as an important part of their childhood, but they don't realize that I'm ALSO learning to manage risk by taking them. What will I let them do? What will I tell them to hold off on? I'm always scared for them when we go out, but I never let them know. It takes all of my effort as a parent to resist wrapping them in bubble wrap and sticking to green rated trails.

[@TheVuk1976]

@@rcranes2227 exactly like this. Having the same issue with my 9yr old daughter.

[@rcranes2227]

Sick! I was anxiously waiting for part two and I'm so stoked that there's a part 3! Thanks for posting the links, we probably ride about Megan's skill level so I think this will be more my family's level when we visit again. Can't wait to see Mindo! For those of you thinking of visiting, check out their chocolate factory. The tour is super interesting and the attached restaurant has delicious food. The ginger beer is delicious but stronger than you'd think so be careful! We also enjoyed an amazing passion fruit pizza at Sisakuna Lodge. Sounds crazy, but trust me, it works. The lodge looked awesome and the owner let us peek into one of the cabins. We wish we had stayed there as our accomodations there were less than ideal.

[@PorterMTB]

That's so awesome you've been there! Tambopaxi was incredible, I hope to go back there again. We definitely went to the chocolate factory in Mindo, one of the highlights, we loved it there!

[@rcranes2227]

[@JustJake77]

Crashing is part of riding.... Learning how to do it right and get right back at it (injury dependant) quickly is key to rider longevity. Kids are also so resilient and adaptable. Well done for shaking it off and ripping on, dude.

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah crashes are inevitable when riding, especially as you start pushing limits. Would have been a bad place to get hurt, glad he was all good and went on to have one of his most fun days on the bike!

[@DRAGONvids3]

Hey Eric, the diamondback 5c has been my dream bike for ever and I have almost enough saved out to buy it, I was just wondering what are some of you favorite features on the bike

[@PorterMTB]

Hey Phil! That's awesome, I love this bike so much and have spent most of my time on it for a few years. I love the geometry and how much travel it has, the Fox 36 and DPX2 are my favorite suspension, and the SRAM drivetrain that comes on it is great too. I mostly love how versatile and playful the bike is on trail, it's pretty fun for everything from bikepark to big trail rides. Good luck getting the bike, let me know when you do!

[@MichaelSchneiderTexas]

I mountain biked 26 miles around Cotopaxi up to 13300ft in 2021. I had the locra de papa in the park restaurant and it was amazing after a cold ride. Amazing place to ride.

[@Smino69]

That's pretty cool, Eric. Good to see "my trails" on youtube. I remember the first time you did Vuelta al Coto. I think I did it with my wife. I was still racing for Daniel's.

[@PorterMTB]

What's up!! I love Ecuador so much, lots of good trails, amazing people, food, and mountains! Vuelta al Coto was really cool, I want to go back and race it again someday. That year was cool, I remember rain/snow at the high point in the race, those were huge days. I went back the following year when Cotopaxi was erupting so they moved the race to some farmlands somewhere safer, it was still a great race but I wanna go around the volcano again!

[@lynxg4641]

Another amazing update and section of your trip, 19k feet altitude cannot be easy on you at all, surprised I didn't see/hear more weasing/sucking for breath 😆Your kids will definitely remember this trip the rest of their lives, what a great family adventure, great to show kids the world outside of a big, modern country and how other peoples live. There's nothing that hurts worse than when you hurt your pride and I think that's what Owen did, that's why he was so upset, not because anything hurt - he's at the stage/age now I think where he's progressed so fast he thinks he's got it all and to be harshly reminded that he's still got stuff to learn bites hard, especially on kids.

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah breathing was difficult for sure, hard to talk sometimes up there even! Agreed on Owen, thankfully the dirt was soft, he learned a lot from that one!
