Shredding untouched pow with my son!

Taking my son Milo splitboarding on a big backcountry powder run in Utah! There's a lot to learn to go snowboarding in the backcountry and splitboarding, so I teach Milo all about it and have a ton of fun too.
Huge thanks to my friend Julian for helping with some filming in this video, check out his instagram here!

Lil dude said, “I’m ready to shred, dad.” ❤️❤️❤️ Such a gnar-dog

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah he loves it

[@jefferyarnold2771]

such a good Father! and super polite son (s)!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! He's an awesome kid, it's fun sharing this stuff with him!

[@rcranes2227]

I noticed that too. When asked if he needed help, said "yes", them corrected himself to a "yes please". Try to teach my kids the same. Please tell me you had to remind him over and over and over before he finally did it on his own. Because I basically have to remind my kids EVERY time.

[@owenmacwilliams1134]

You can tell Eric is a good dad when Milo corrects himself to say “yes please”

[@PorterMTB]

Haha I didn't expect that, he is a good kid for sure!

The thing I enjoy most about your channel is watching you and your boys interact. They are both such good boys and you are a good father. This is so wholesome and wonderful! Oh and the awesome adventures you all have are amazing too!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!! I am really lucky, we get to do a lot of fun stuff together and it's fun to share with the world. Hopefully it inspires people to do cool stuff and get outside!

Eric says something. Milo: "yeah."

Definitely a dream come true!

Milo can shred! Good luck getting that drone back!

[@TREVONBACH]

MILO yer dang lucky. My dad was a politician. ERIC yer dang lucky. My dad's son was an unathletic nerd who would never get to experience life. Now (I) he gets to thru youtube. Keep em comin. The scenery is incredible, and watching Milo's progression makes me understand why it would've been cool to be a parent. The video of the drone rescue will be priceless.

[@PorterMTB]

We are very lucky, I definitely don't take it for granted! Drone recovery video coming next, should be a good one!

[@rcranes2227]

Whatever you do, don't ask Seth to help you. I've seen what he does with his drones!

[@davidlamb9053]

This video is proof that no matter how used to shredding as an adult you are children are just fearless 😂 love the content Eric it was you and seth that got me back into mtb hope you see this and all the best from the uk

Thanks for the great video Eric. I really enjoy these vids with your boys. I was a young kid when my dad passed away, so sometimes these kinds of videos can get me pretty emotional, but I'm super stoked seeing you give your sons a childhood full of fun adventures and quality time. Great stuff mate! All the best to you & your family. Looking forward to the MTB videos to come in the months ahead.

[@PorterMTB]

Oh man, sorry to hear that, I can't imagine. It's really fun to share this stuff with them and pass on the knowledge so they can get out and have fun! Back to bike vids real soon!

You must be so proud, you are doing such a great job with the kids! Amazing to watch!

[@blankspace4293]

This is great! Eric is teaching his kids everything he knows, so they will probably be like him when they grow up. They are almost like Eric's shadow, doing whatever he does (at least in his videos)

[@nickkottcamp4124]

Great as always!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!!

[@timwintersoncntr]

Wonderful video, men! Those downhill skills are mind blowing. Concerning herring-boning: you are right to emphasize leaning backward (this also applies to hiking and skiing uphill--of course, lean forward downhill), but the poles should be planted *downhill* of the skis while herring-boning--really prevents the back-slide and encourages leaning back.

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah you're right, didn't have time in this video to get too in depth with the explanations! Takes a while to get them figured out!

[@heshwuan]

Great style on those carves, Milo. I'm super impressed with how you handled that glade section.

[@Willxsanders]

I just got to the part where you taught Milo ( Idk how to spell his name) how to do a switch back and you such a good dad 😂 my dad would never help me

[@PorterMTB]

You spelled it right! Thanks, hope you have an awesome day!

Nice job on the switch backs Milo those can be tough. You can also learn the “kick turn” an old cross country technique to help on steep switchbacks and something I try and teach people whenever I’m in the backcountry

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah it takes a lot of reps to get them dialed, he's learning quick though!

@@PorterMTB ya it does and I’ve seen some pretty hilarious failed attempts however once you’ve got it down, it’s just another tool for the toolbox.
