I liked my own comment

[@CaliradoKid]

I've learned two important things from this video. One. Your kids had one HELL of a Christmas! Two. You describing the suspension setup to your son is very similar to when Paul the Punter tries to explain it to me. 😂

I’m out in my backyard right now building a mountain bike trail I got the notification for this video and decided it was time to take a break and watch it

[@lachlanmtb7540]

Love that when Owen went up those shelf’s, that guy said: “that was ridiculous!” He’s definitely progressing

[@rafael_13]

You are raising future pro MTB riders for sure! They are so skillful and connected to the bike yet so young.. simply amazing!

[@amies.3211]

Hey I wanted to add a suggestion. I am a shorter rider and my dropper was a bit tall for me. I came up with a hack using a couple of zip ties from the seat clamp to the seat as a limiting strap to keep the post from extending all the way, now it works great and doesn’t extend too high!

[@andrew_gardner]

When I saw Seth's video about a dad towing his son along the white line, my first thought was 'I think Milo and Owen are a bit young for that' luckily it wasn't you guys haha awesome to see them progressing!

[@mileskerr3800]

When I first got my bike I just ran the dropper halfway up and it worked completely fine

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Wow, giving your kids stuff from work? Thanks Dad, lol.. Awesome vid dude.

[@1870movie]

My son moved from 24 inch to 27.5 at Christmas also.

[@TeddyParker]

Skate hipster Milo and skate punker Owen is the kind of character arc I was always hoping for on Porter MTB. They'll never truly fully understand how rad their dad is! That's a lotta personality under one roof...

[@petermuller8847]

Maybe your smaller kid can use the dropper post, using zip ties to stop the full travel of the post. Zip ties between the saddle and the dropper clamp can solve the problem. I used this method for my kids and it was great, because you can increase the travel, when they are growing.

[@DonnyRosko]

my son is on an xs frame and it was a game changer for him. I was able to find a low rise dropper for him and he loves it.

[@terojukola8258]

Have three boys of my own and had the same issues with dropper posts. Installed OneUp dropper 125 mm that has also a minimal footprint (read: low stack). But more importantly; boys did learn very quickly to use their 'bottom' to limit the upward movement of the saddle. Simple as that! Love to watch your family-oriented videos, Eric!

[@austinfrandsen5669]

If you haven't thought about it yet, possibly look at a fox transfer SL dropper as you can get one with only a 75mm drop which might fit Owen

[@venessariley3285]

Was scrolling through KZbin right before taking my bike out for a stroll. Its an Aventon SInch from SWFL Golf Carts.

[@Helensburgh40]

i have also learnt two things from this video 1. i wish i had a full suspension bike (cant afford) 2.i love your videos

[@ericmonty]

Keep up the good work dad! So cool to see their progression.

[@Newb1eYou_]

The biggest flex in life is having a family

[@garrywindsworthIII]
