When you learn "THE FEAR" Mountain Biking

[@josephbruceismay6832]

I don't really do mountain biking per se, but, I've gone many miles doing "regular" biking (biking on the highway and city streets and stuff) without major incident until August of last year. I was making a turn, hit a patch of loose rocks at like. 15, 16 MPH, and down I went. I got scraped up pretty bad on the side(?) of my right forearm and my left knee. I was basically crippled for multiple weeks until the injuries could fully heal. Nowadays, those injuries are just scars. small in comparison to the wounds that were there, but they're quite a reminder of the dangers one can face whilst biking. I still ride, but MUCH more carefully than before. Like, if I was careful before, I am even more so now. so, there's my little tale.

[@broccolirob8268]

The timing on this is crazy. I had shoulder surgery in August and just did my first ride today. Basically all armored up riding easy flow trails. Gotta start somewhere. It felt like I was rediscovering mountain biking. Great feeling.

[@walkerswild]

Another gem Bobo! I needed to hear that story today. The trimmed down version is, "GO RIDE YOUR BIKE"! AMIRIGHT?

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

Bobo's channel... where I come for a kick ass edit and stay for a funny-ass Ad!! Well done Bobo.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

thanks Ricky!

[@Jojo-Machete-Mode]

This is amazing Bobo. Hilarious content. Appreciate how you make humor out of real MTB life and the fact your videos are not another MTB video teaching you how to turn correctly.

I tune in for the Squarespace ads. 😂

Loved it dude! I just tore my UCL in my elbow a month ago. Perfect timing!

[@travistweedle9674]

Tried to impale myself on my handlebar at Sugar mountain and wound up in a Trauma center for internal bleeding. 4 months after that OTB on a step up at BHM and wound up with an AC seperation... After that i bought an e-bike. Turning 50 sucks but I'm never gonna quit riding.

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

[@Hakuna_Frittata]

About to battle the fear myself. Ended last season in a nasty case OTB with a thoracic spinal injury and boxer's fracture. Back is good, but my hand reminds me daily.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

oh man

[@bchearne]

Yup. I fractured my L-1 vertebra a while back going otb, and it took a minute to get back up to speed. Fun times

[@Jamie6029]

The Fear is real. I had a really bad crash a little over 20 years ago. I fractured my neck in 2 places, broke my jaw, dislocated my left shoulder, broke 3 ribs. And somehow ended up with road rash on the right side of my face and right arm. I still get nervous hitting big jumps

[@MagnumNYC]

Dude.... I needed that so bad right now.... perfect. 🤜

[@Lammy47]

The Fear is real. Clavicle Club Member right here!!!

[@dudeonbike800]

Eddy Merckx broke clavicles five times. HTFU! (Just messing. After landing on my face as a kid, the fear has stayed with me. Everyone used to ask me, "Dude, how do you get such great starts in criteriums?" "Abject fear. I DON'T WANNA DIE!" The fear is real.)

[@morgangrainger3591]

I feel this. My first 2 major injuries happened in the span of three months last year. fractured a couple of ribs while trying to do a jump line in September and broke my collar bone skiing in December. I had to get a metal plate for the collar bone. I am just now trying to get back to riding.

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

[@trevormckenna9356]

This might be my fav Bobo video. 42 yr old rider who's had some bails. The fear is real, but I have to remind myself sometimes I can do this shit. 😎💪

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

Trevo

[@dolceitalia5846]

Haha love this! Although I can’t relate; I have the opposite of the Fear…and well, get myself injured even more as I think ‘it’s only a scratch. It’ll be fiiiine’, as my arm is hanging off 😂😂

[@CaliradoKid]

That guy is wise beyond his years. 😂

[@themiddleagemasher8108]

At 53 years old the fear be real man!!! Great vid

[@bantam700]

Working on overcoming the fear myself after a massive tibial fracture. Still yet to hit my first proper jump since coming back but hit up a chunky black diamond last weekend and while I walked a few parts it went better than I was expecting

[@jamiemiller7752]

Great timing Bobo! Been recovering from a broken proximal humerus and dislocated shoulder. Had surgery almost a year ago and feel I could bike again but still scared! Will wait for Scotland to dry out first 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Don’t know what a proximal humerus is but sounds painful! Lol, hopefully it stops raining by the time you get recovered 🤘

[@jamiemiller7752]

@@BIKINGWITHBOBO 😂Neither did I until 11 months ago! It’s the top of the arm where it joins the shoulder. Thanks man ✌️

[@rabbit_holed]

Fear is the mind killer

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

Hi 👋

[@harrygrimley4352]

Perfect timing. Was just thinking about getting myself out. 🤔😜

[@WorkLessRideMore]

The bots are nuts and out in full force today haha

[@amc5926]

the only thing worse then "getting back out there" after a crash is .....riding and revisiting the "scene of the crime"

[@worldstallestmidget]

Wgat you need to is just wreck and get it out the way! I did that after a separated shoulder and broken collarbone! lol! After that I was good to go!

[@bakedvikings]

facts though. "i dont wanna ride with someone who dont know "the Fear"

[@frederick3267]

I’ve had the fear a couple times, now I can finally put a face on it. 😂

[@BH-cy9tb]

Don’t know why you don’t have way more subs. Another good one.

[@R1eger25]

I was half expecting mtb bobo to have a small otb the moment he sets off to look for the buddy :D

[@theonlymadmac4771]

I definitely have „the fear“. After some car-driving lady separated me from my Harley I am back on a mountain bike, 8 operations, 40 blood units later. So I tend to be a little more careful now, especially as it was not my fault

[@feelfreemtb3474]

You heartless guy....Hilarious 😂

[@dudeonbike800]

Not sure why there's a branch in his face, but I love it!

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

lol , I got a new baby in my life damn it! Im too tired to notice details 😂

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

got the AC joint dislocation back in 98, it only stopped me for a week. mom was in a panic worried I would get hurt more, yet I rode. of course it was not my first rodeo been bucked a few other times, and just learned to deal.

[@jonathanmatthews4774]

First ride back after putting my fat bike away, I went OTB. Figure I might as well get it out of the way.

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

[@Soonjai]

The most confident rider is always the one that didn´t have a accident yet. After that, you are a different Person.

[@briangronberg5648]

I’ve had two decent crashes one landed me in the ER, luckily internal bleeding test came back negative but massive contusion. Took a break after a second wreck in a rock garden training for a race. Learned to skydive and botched a flair on landing jump six of my AFF, I’m going back to scuba diving😂

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

first of all he don't look like the michelin man , more like THE LEGION OF DOOMMMMMMMM 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Wyatt_Hutchinson]

I have experienced "the fear." My friend had an ACL tear after crashing on a jump and he now knows what "the fear" is

[@mtbextreme01]

If I break something riding imma go right back out there!

[@jamesconnell323]

Hospital Bills are no joke. Don’t be embarrassed about wearing pads, especially when you’re older. I wouldn’t have a fd up shoulder if I had got my pads and vest out of the truck.🤔

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

[@sjaan7370]

Armor up? Hey I personally think a make a good looking stormtrooper even if I'm a little short for one 🤓

[@smv9338]

So funny & so true.

[@mrnut5005]

Brilliant 👏 👏 what a great way to start my day 😅😅

[@ianthompson6268]

holy crap this is a good one.

[@amandalovesbikes]

I sure miss that beginner’s bravery, when i didn’t know how badly i could hurt myself and didn’t know what cracked ribs felt like!

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Ignorance = bliss 😂

[@BackyardShredder]

🤘🤘🤘

[@greenmindmtb7653]

Those are the exact phases of the fear! All pads, full face, green trails, phantom pre-ride pain and thoughts of quitting. That’s where the weed comes in. Sometimes self medicating is a must! RIDE OR DIE🤘🍻

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Lol

[@RandysRides]

*SIGH* "I don't even care now." That's starting to become my motto.

[@Thumper17559]

Pure gold! Lol

[@RFVCXR200R]

That story was sadder than the song When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 by Sarah McLachlan

[@zubayrbhyat8077]

Man, now I need my own MTB Jesus for when I shit myself before a ride.

[@felixmorar8203]

Tough but hey, he felt guilty just a bit. It's justified because they have a lot in common, they both ride, and they lost something's important to them, that one dude lost his dog, the old man lost his mind, and bobo lost his courage therefore no teardrop thanks to experience sharing and learning, from said mistakes.

[@EvelynLogan-od7zc]

Felix

[@jltrack]

Ok but why does Bobo look like Jackson Goldstone now?!?

[@thomaswhudson]

Great, now i'm sad.. thanks..

[@ridingwithreggie]

The fear is real!!! LOL!!!

[@SkadooHusky]

I prefer the "tape a bag of lucky charms to the vehicle and call the cops" approach.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

lol, ... note: do not snort these lucky charms

[@Deadgoat865]

The fear isn't real until you focus on it.

[@Johnny_Cash_Flow]

Queue Ten Foot Pole song. If you know, you know.

[@RAW15.1]

Got my first major injury 10 days ago and going into surgery tomorrow… destined to see this?

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Oh man, hope you have a speedy recovery 🤘

[@jackofthetrees]

E lord, wisdom

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

lol indeed

[@niner8tangojuliet149]

This is a precursor to how Bobo will become XC rider.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

lol, OMG never! I prefer the pain of shoulder surgery again to all that climbing! 😂

[@microMobilidade]

Ok heres my inception. The movie Waterworld, the scene where the legend starts “He has no name, so death can’t find him…” Bobo Im counting on you

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

lol 🤘

one of my favorite actors of all time! did you know he had a small roll in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 90's?

[@beerenmusli8220]

Lmao nice

[@cobykluth1878]

Can I pet that dog!? Can i pet that dog?😅

[@SoloSingleStrack]

On another note. I ride db and mtb. I never hear it when I wear all my gear for db but heaven forbid I wear more than knee pads on my mtb.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

lol, truth

[@Mtb9r]

Holy Shit BoBo. On target man. this brings back 5 memories, makes me cringe. 😵‍💫
