Tour of My Backyard Jumps and Pumptrack!

[@RonClouds]

This is the ultimate backyard and I want one. 😁

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! Work hard and never give up the dream!

[@tradingtips1103]

I am surprised that this guy isn't as big as he should be

[@PorterMTB]

Hopefully it keeps growing!

[@gavinhenrickson3289]

You guys should get a drop into a foam pit or a big gap airbag

[@PorterMTB]

I was thinking about an airbag, but Woodward is opening a Park City location next month, so I can learn stuff there!

[@harveydavies1413]

Ive watched every video ive found on your backyard so to have a tour video is amazing!!! Great job i really look up to you!👍👌

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed it, and my riding!

[@harveydavies1413]

Thank you Eric!!😊

[@JonathanLee7]

I’ve been here, and I can’t describe how cool it is. The Porter Fam Ranch is the best!

[@PorterMTB]

What's up!! Hope you make it back out next year, next time we'll ride together!

[@SkELLETT044]

I wish so bad I could have a garden like this But I don’t think my parents would let me move somewhere so expensive 😂

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah, you'll probably have to do this on your own after moving out!

[@nika4249]

lmao bro, i wish i could have bike

[@all_the_hype4576]

Dang that’s awesome. I’ve seen other videos on your back yard but a tour by the man himself is awesome. I dream of a yard like this.

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@botondoppenauer4499]

this is really good example, for "fight for your dreams and u will achieve them"

[@PorterMTB]

That's right! Never give up!

[@J_Harker]

keep up the good work :)

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, I'm having fun with it!

[@KirtVoreis]

Yard is looking awesome! Thanks for the stoke!!!

[@PorterMTB]

I remember your yard in SoCal, that was a wild setup! Riding the ditches too with Chase, and baldy full pipe too! Hope you make it down here next year!

[@AlexanderRamsing]

The difference between your yard and your neighbor's yard cracks me up!

[@PorterMTB]

Haha yeah it is pretty funny. They are great neighbors!

[@MichaelBrown-wt2pq]

Dude..... love all the reclaimed features! Wow I did not know those lips were built by Kelly, so rad. And you described Kelly’s lips just as he was. Super fun and friendly. Loved that guy! I cannot tell you how stoked I am to watch your “jump Garden” grow this coming spring and summer! I will be staying tuned brother!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks Mike! It's pretty awesome to have Kelly live on in my yard. I'm already looking forward to next season!

[@thetalkingfly]

Great video. You live in a cool place.

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! You are part of what makes this place awesome!

[@evangrundmeyer3003]

This is sick!! I can see all of the hard work and dedication put into it! Nice dude!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! Definitely a lot of work.

[@nealbaron3384]

I live on a super small land that’s incredibly expensive and I’m so grateful for that. But having jumps like this would be my dream. Keep making these videos!

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah sometimes it's tough to build, but it sounds like you have a rad spot!

[@alfierowetv812]

No way! This place is better than an actual bike park. I just ride a tree stump in my local woods, you are really living the dream life

[@PorterMTB]

Hey a tree stump is better than nothing! Keep having fun!

[@alfierowetv812]

Yeah I agree it is really fun

[@kieranhubbard135]

Hi Eric I love your back garden it's awesome

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks, it's a lot of fun!

[@linc4]

Can you please put all of your yard builds/tours in a play list on your tube. Loving your yard building

[@PorterMTB]

Good idea! Lots more yard build videos coming as the snow melts this spring!

[@timojohannsen6253]

Awesome! I wish I could have jumps like that in my backyard!

[@PorterMTB]

Keep working and dreaming, it can happen!

[@fuzzytron]

I've never heard the term "Talladega Berm" and as a fan of NASCAR that lives in AL, that is the best word for a berm.

[@thomaspalmer8059]

Awesome vids, brilliant yard! I bought 42 acres in Oregon,2 trails in this summer. Just started jumps this week. More inspiration please!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! That's amazing, I wish I had that much land!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Rad video!!!

[@PorterMTB]

Jeff Lenosky thanks! And thanks for inspiration and mentorship over the years!

[@wenksta10]

That was a rad tour of the yard! Kinda crazy to be able to start the track from your guest room!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks Bryce!! Yeah it's pretty funny where it starts, dream guesthouse!

[@archiesmith7662]

Eric I recon you should build a bench and stuff for you to bunny hop onto or off of. Or a big banking that goes from ur final double to the pump track

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah that's a good call, I need some trials features for the new bike, and then at the end I do wanna make a new feature after the last jump.

[@archiesmith7662]

@@PorterMTB just had an idea! you could get a tractor tyre, fill each end with dirt so it's like a small slope and then put the tractor tyre in the middle so then effectively you have a small lip because the tip of the tyre is sticking out of the dirt.

[@archiesmith7662]

Here is the link as I think I have explained it quite badly mtbwithkids.com/skypark-at-santas-village/tire-ride/

[@dustinsmart8561]

Cant wait to help with the yard upgrade next season!

[@PorterMTB]

Oh yeah, you're gonna be a big part of it I'm sure! Start thinking up ideas!

[@saints146able]

Finally a mountain biking channel that isn’t just trying to get as many views as possible by click baiting and using smaller channels for a foot up (paul the punter)

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you're into what I'm doing, trying to keep it about what I'm into!

[@DrShredder]

Glad your backyard jumps dream came true! Rad setup

[@PorterMTB]

I still can't believe it sometimes!

[@georgecowley4220]

Yess the vedio we have ALL been waiting for, keep up the good work Eric

[@PorterMTB]

Happy to deliver what you want!!

[@harrisonknight2562]

I got inspired from your backyard and built some gap jumps

[@fivetengarage2867]

Good addition would be some big ass trees with a treehouse. Yard is already awesome though.

[@PorterMTB]

I would love more trees, and really wanna build a treehouse!

[@jtphotography0]

Your kids are lucky!

[@PorterMTB]

Yes they are, they have no idea yet!

[@blond339]

there is a little campground at the base of Rockport dam i used to camp and get out of slc heat when i was schooling at the U, probably a stones throw from your place

[@PorterMTB]

That's awesome! I live closer to Jordanelle, but Rockport is rad too.

[@bikeste]

Good stuff. Thanks Eric.

[@PorterMTB]

Thank you!

[@dougbowers8759]

I have been thinking about moving to Utah and buying land to build on. Then I click on to your video. Interesting, thanks

[@conorintemann7872]

So rad Eric! You need a rainbow rail ;) Looking good bro, hope to catch up soon!

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah!!! I wish I had video of that whole rainbow rail session in Telluride, I think I have one clip somewhere I need to find actually! Come visit!

[@VariteZ]

My backyard is steep but I still managed to try and make a pump track. So I have some 180 degree berms because my hill is so steep but I also managed to build a double and a tabletop. I’m just about done with my pump track and if you want I have a few videos of it on my KZbin channel and it would be awesome for u to tell me what else to build when it’s super hard to get lots of speed. Thanks

[@PorterMTB]

So cool!! I'll try to check it out!

[@jinjunior4674]

I have just bought a dirt jumper can’t wait till it comes

[@myleshaasofficial5429]

Jin Junior What did you get?

[@jinjunior4674]

Myles Haas official it’s a Calibre Astronut as just starting out it’s a uk brand decent specs for 400

[@PorterMTB]

That's rad! They are so fun!

[@TFBDesigns]

Nice yard!!! I have a course in my yard but not as much land as yours. Subscribed!

[@PorterMTB]

Yours looks fun too!! Plus it's way easier to maintain, mine is a ridiculous amount of work!

[@itsneb]

I've thought about doing this for several years. I have plenty of land. How do I tell if the dirt on my property is worth using? Also how did you get the right mix? Did you buy multiple types and mix together yourself? I've mostly been building wooden features in my woods so far but a pump track is the dream. Amazing work! From one dad to another - Lucky kids to have you as a pop. Keep it up!

[@rowanprice2304]

You have a awesome backyard!

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks! Definitely a dream come true, thanks to a lot of hard work!

[@justsomerandompolarbearfan5841]

Bro that is literally legendary!

[@thomashardbattle4287]

I love your tour it was gnarly

[@PorterMTB]

Thanks!!

[@callumbrawn1058]

You should build a drop of the deck next to the roll in

[@PorterMTB]

That would be fun!

[@nathanemmett2990]

It's nice for us "kiwis" to be recognized 👍👍

[@PorterMTB]

You guys are the best! I love NZ!!

[@kylefrancis7935]

Hey Porter! I am wanting to build my own pump track as I have just started building my own trail in my backyard, could you make a video that shows the different types of features a pump track has (or can have) and building tips for when you are building them?

[@archiesmith7662]

Nice Vid Eric!!!! Big Up, keep it going man

Thanks! I will new vids coming in March!

[@aussiebuilds1696]

Hey Eric good vid man. I was thinking maybe you could just keep going with your ramps around your back yard. That would be pretty sick. Hope to meet you one day. I ride bikes to.

[@PorterMTB]

[@chloet8408]

I used to have an acre but all we put in it was a trampoline and a playset and a large hill that I never rode because I was like 7

Hey Eric, what mix of clay/sand/top soil did you end up settling on?

[@strafesmc2266]

Really wish I could have a backyard like this.I have enough space but no dirt so please show us how you build such great stuff Edit:you should build a tech trail for the kids and a jump line for the kids
