Whoever stuck a trail in here is a genius

Visiting Derby has been a long time coming. But finally, we've made it to Tasmania to experience it's mountain bike trails. Now if I could stop running over the local wildlife...

😱 It *was* you!! I was riding around Wild Mersey in Latrobe and was like "nah, can't be.. he's from Canada, maybe just a lookalike?" but no! Kicking myself, should have said hi! Awesome vid, looks like you had an absolute blast and got to experience some of the best Tas has to offer 👍

[@kynan.bonnice]

Thanks for the tourism boost you will give to our great state ❤️

[@knordberg]

LOL, Yuka sure got over hear fear after the crash quickly! She's a warrior.

[@mattpoe9391]

Another good video. Most of us travel maybe an hour or two at the most for a good trail. It's easy to be a little jealous seeing you two all over the world riding amazing places and experiencing the culture. Of course I do realize that it's not always wine and roses, but it would be so cool to pack myself up this summer and maybe check off some great trails for about a week for vacation.

[@topspot4834]

I'd love to head out there, and I have a seasonal business, so I could make it happen if I wanted ... Looked into New Zealand for January 2024 and the Airbnbs are suprisingly cheap (very cheap) plus there's no tax. Flight from US isn't *TOO* bad, but once you're down there, everything else is really pricey (lift tickets, shuttles and transportation, bike rental, etc) ... Biggest thing holding us back thigh is the 25 hour flight. Longest I've been on a plane was 10 years to Switzerland, and even that was miserable. Can't imagine that plus another 15 hours, especially flying commercial. And for the same price, I can go to Whistler in the summer, Aruba in the winter, and I'd save about 30 hours of flight time round trip.

[@dft1]

lots of trails to explore out there

[@richr7604]

Right? I'm lucky to get out on some local trails about 30 minutes away!!

[@johnmcf8039]

Nice adventure. So good to see Yuka back to fly'n down the trails after her accident.

[@K4orest]

You’re a great story teller man! Inspired to travel.

[@impishDullahan]

Just discovered the channel and I was just thinking the production value and storytelling is actually like a high-budget local television program. It's like a local Canadian station trying to meet its quota for local content, except it's somehow the best show on the channel and I'm here for it. (I say all this endearingly.)

[@harrisonmiles9507]

As someone who is a regular at derby and have done 100+ laps down air ya garn I love to see your sharing the greatness of this amazing mtb destination

[@Froff]

This is a great video guys. So stoked to see you hit that step down on AirYa Garn and enjoy Derby as much as I did. I can’t wait to see where ya end up next.

[@BCpov]

Thanks Jaron 🙂 i think we’re staying on tassie a little longer 🙂

[@lenolenoleno]

Ha - rad to see you down in Derbs. Such a good vibe. I get back there every year (being from Melbourne) to soak in all it's natural glory. Loved the vid + the story.

[@streddaz]

Great to see you in my home state Eric! I was only riding in Derby yesterday.

[@jarrodpearce8321]

Dude so cool to see a big KZbin i have watched for ages come to my home trails on the other side of the world. Well done in Hobart Tas Grav aswell

[@stephenjohnson9747]

yuka literally fills my heart with happiness, just so chill and like "well that happened, oh well" and would then carry on her day like nothing happened

[@yages]

Such a great showcase of what Australia, Tasmania and Derby has to offer.

[@Duckotron]

Epic!!!!!!! Glad to see you guys visiting one of my favourite riding spots!

[@core-i7413]

I rode over at Blue Derby at the start of the year, it was amazing riding. Really nice nature and really fun laps down the trails

[@LCaddyStudios]

This series is great, especially getting to see you two navigate the different ways we do things here, hope you guys are exploring alot off camera also, that Gold Coast -> Melbourne drive is one of my favourites, I did it back in November and there's nothing better than exploring along that route, especially the Snowy Mountains, hopefully one of your next videos has you heading to Thredbo and Perisher

[@scoobsm6994]

I've been waiting for yours and Yuka's next videos after bumping into you in the shuttle line at Maydena. Tassie is such a great place for riding. Enjoy your epic trip, and maybe see you in WA if you decide to make the long drive across. Cheers!

[@Shaunspeed]

Hi guys, nice to see you made it down my way. You both killed in on "Air Ya Garn" one of my favourite tails in Derby. Keep the rubber side down and the awesome vidoes comming :) Cheers from Tassie.

[@jaykim6412]

Production and fun factor top notch mate.looks like so much and so happy to see Yuka ripping once again

[@brendan1]

So beautiful there! I'm supremely jealous. Alberta is great, but the lush vegetation and wildlife is amazing there! Ok, except for the ants, spiders, and snakes. I would be terrified going through that tunnel that a big nasty spider would jump on me!

[@hugoarkeveld2566]

As a melbourne local, if you pass geelong, I highly reccomend the you yangs. Gnarly tech, flow, and amazing locals. Nothing crazy, just some nice trails.

[@Johnsonsvideos]

True, love it there. Great scenery too

[@CmanMTB]

there's a place in victoria called bright with a mtb park called mystic it was everything you might want to see and makes people stuck there becuase its so good there's a compony called blue dirt that runs shuttles up Another place to see is Lake mountian it has a trail called Cascades and is a flow and tec blue trail that goes for 38km with a 15km long downhill stection it has mainly down hill but is some climbs and hella fun, theres shuttles that pick up at the end of the trail and take you to the top. in the trail there is other black and some double black line to follow, I live near there and am always happy to help Just a Aussie 16 ripper

[@MikeEsty37]

Phenomenal video in a spectacular setting. I have Australian family so I need to make a trip down under and make it to Darby!

[@dimimtb]

Late to the party but you smashed those trails and this tale. Your videos are awesome and as you're an amazing storyteller. Well done and can't wait until the next one.

[@Juderocks0]

Just seeing the videos get better and better every time is really cool.

[@darylblain4710]

You guys rode straight past us while I was on the phone to emergency services. You didn't even take the time to ask if our friend was OK.

[@HighsideASB]

This is so awesome seeing you guys ride trails that we have ridden on in Australia!!! Love Derby and if you have made the trek to Tassie, then I can only assume a Maydena video wouldn't be too far off. Suggested places for you to ride as you head north again. In the state of Victoria as this has been the extent of my riding experience. You Yangs - about 45 min southwest of Melbourne, loose over hard packed. Mixture of different trails from flow to rock slabs and gardens Ballarat - short network of Blue/Black flow and jump trails Mt Buller - host of a few DH races. nuff said. Silvan - about 1hr east of Melbourne, loamy singletrack Mystic Mountain at Bright - premier MTB destination in VIC about 4 hours north of Melbourne. Mt Beauty - 30 min from Bright, old school DH tech. Absolute rabbit warren and have fun getting lost. Head out about 2-2.5 hours east of Melbourne to Traralgon and visit places like Haunted Hills, Maryvale Pines, Blores and Somewhere Good. Keep the aussie vids coming, love em!

[@garyharmon5386]

Awesome video. Really enjoy seeing other parts of the world through your videos. Glad to Yuka back riding. Pedal safe

[@dantheman9563]

Man I have to make it down to Derby sometime soon! Awesome to see you both enjoy it so much. And thanks for acknowledging the traditional land owners!

[@DirtKidzMTB]

hey BCpov make sure you check out the tipppgoree trails in George town. while you are at st helens trails try and get the buggy ride up to the top of the hill and do mack 10 because the buggy ride to the top is a experience in itself so just check it out. I would also love to see you guys do dreaming pools as it is a really fun trail but make sure you take the shortcut out because the big uphill at the end is not fun to say the least.

[@scote___]

Sensational vid and so glad you're both loving our island's nature, be it on bike or foot.

[@johnpurves2951]

Awesome to see you two down under. Looking forward to more content. You going to make it to Far North Queensland? Some awesome riding in and around Cairns. And Crankworx is just around the corner.

[@cu7525]

I’ve been subbed for 4 years now love your vids just as much as I used to. ❤

[@SunshineCoastAnt]

Loving your down-under vids as a Queenslander I hope to get to Derby one day. Mountain biking in most states of Australia in summer is an early morning or late afternoon hobby. On the weekends my local tracks are packed from 7am and nearly empty by 10am. In Australia we may not have the gnarly trails of North America but your chances of a hospital visit are just as likely thanks to unforseen encounters with wildlife. Nothing makes you question your life choices more than accidentally riding over a 5ft eastern brown or rounding a corner to come face to face with a 6ft tall emu (i've experience both).

[@akarkesh5506]

You make us travel to nice places. Thanks you !

[@humpy125]

Love seeing you in tassie. Great video.

[@rastan49]

The most Aussie thing happen to me while MTB and like others always worry about snakes. But this day, wasn’t a snake. I clipped a tail of a Goanna and it got caught in my back wheel. That thing went spinning around, I stopped instantly falling immediate over. Laying there for a moment thinking this thing must be dead until a mate caught up. Lifted my bike to see what the damage was to it and my bike. Goanna was playing possum, it flipped over and walked off into the bush and I had a derailer that had snapped in two. Hardy bloody things, scared the crap out of me tho.

[@mixalisstathis274]

You 2 are just a great combination.

[@dhurghamalhosiny9214]
