Why Mountain Biking Here Will Make You a Better Rider!

[@dommer742]

Do you two ever ride different bikes? Some pump track and skatepark riding on dirt jumpers might help round out some uh... gaps in the skill collection. It would be pretty interesting to see you two build your own pump/trails features that evolve with you and are designed specifically to unlock a few things you feel are missing like pumping, popping, nosing into landings, etc. Great stuff as always

[@kevineason2926]

I’m sure it’s hard to pack more than 2 bikes in a van that you live in full time.

[@cartercarter3484]

@@kevineason2926 idk they have a similar bike storage area to most ppl and I’ve seen ppl cram like 6 bikes in

[@rataflas]

All I can say is that these guys came to Dallas Big Cedar thanks to the new stuff that was built! What's so special is that the features are built with safety and progression in mind. So cool be part of it and I know our group will not look back we will just keep progressing and building more wherever they let us💪🏻

[@freeride512.0]

Was great having Eric and Yuka at the Freeride512 Park at Rocky Hill. We're always continuing the progression build there, and will have more for you to ride next time.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Totally captured the TX vibe! Yuka's "I'm just gonna send it" mentality is amazing to watch, and I appreciate that you and I have the same mental approach to doing things. Now if I only had some of your skills... 😂

[@BCpov]

Hehe, you can hone those skills at 3 amazing places near you 😉

Please, please, PLEASE make a video about a coached jumping session! I love to see you guys progress, and that will boost you to the moon! Keep up the great content, it is a pleasure watching it!

[@letsgo_inc]

"there's a gap so I have to go farther"... flawless logic tbh

[@jadeloff5557]

Love the Texas MTB scene. I've lived in Texas my whole life but I only started riding (give or take) 2 years ago. Everyone I've met has been so nice and helpful and the trails are so progressive!! Good things to come in the very near future, deep in the heart of Texas!

[@BasicBodThor]

You two are the best. Honest mountain biking adventures. You always capture the spirit of what makes this sport so fun

[@Dessi101]

I just love your videos! Your reasoning and feelings towards a challenge makes us viewers see the real honest person behind the camera. You're not just showing off and that makes me happy!

[@fix8ed387]

Showing some Texas jump love. RPR and Big Cedar are some of the best we have around. Good stuff!

[@d-nicebikes]

Texas continues to do it big and do it right! Great review of three awesome bike parks, Team! Looks like great places for skill development. Looking forward to your next visit when you ride all the lines with no hesitation, casing or overshooting. Always good for a smile to see/hear VGY employing the "just send it approach" and deal with the consequences after. Another great vid, Eric. Loving the channel(s). Stay awesome. Cheers, Derek

[@jimm244]

Happy day! A video from Eric! I love your travel logs and I love seeing you work up to features. It gives me hope! There is great (seriously great) trail riding in my area and a fun natural feature bike park-ish place. What we lack is a park with side-by-side progressions.

[@rodspov1915]

Thanks for stopping by Texas. I love to live here for the reasons you covered very well. I’m glad you all had fun! We also have access to our neighbor states like Bentonville AR and Angel Fire in NM. There is no shortage of awesome places to ride around here. Cheers

[@eddie_mtb7780]

When that music came on I got hit with the bigest nostalgia for the summers of my teenhood riding dirt jumpls I biult with all my friends. Wish i could go back to those days

[@silverbackshooting1563]

You are my favorite KZbinr! Thanks for all you do for the community as well. Have a good one.

Thanks for the thanks! 🙂

[@Dubzy001]

Oh snap, you all were in our back yard. I lurk and dont comment much but my husband and I are game dev/mountain bikers in the Austin area. I found your channel a while ago and saw you had a similar background, so ya'lls story really resonates with us! You've really inspired us. We follow VanGirlYuka too!

[@nzack7888]

Game dev/mountain bikers? Sounds like the dream! 🤟

[@boblipsch4450]

Your vids are just on a other level man🤯🤩 keep it up💪🏼💪🏼

[@jaykim6412]

the videos have such a soothing effect- the music, narraration, and vid clips bring it all together- well done!

[@bengonzales1182]

Wow I knew that was Big Cedar, that's awesome to see you guys visited. There's a place in McKinney called Erwin Park that just got a new jump track, it's pretty awesome. Northshore in Flower Mound is a great place.

[@boblipsch4450]

Your vids are just on another level man🤯🤩 keep up the good work!

[@tatebaird7217]

Sad I missed you guys! Thanks for coming! It’s all greened up now.. We love our Texas mountain biking. You missed spidy mountain next to RPR. The only lift access in Texas.

[@BIGTIMBERFILMS]

So awesome. Can't wait for you to come visit again. 🤘🤘🤘

[@BCpov]

Thanks for your work out there and showing us around!

[@tristanloteryman4023]

I'm glad you enjoyed our neck of the woods! We don't have a lot of elevation but we try to make the best of it 🙂hopefully the guy who bought out half of big cedar will see the benefit it has to the community and continue to allow riders on their property

[@andrewbrinkman3137]

I love big c. so happy to see that people are finding it. big cedar helped me progress so much. with in a month I was hitting the small jumps then finnialy being able to do the widdo maker. I basically live there now

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Great video you guys. Yuka never ceases to amaze. No fear at all, she just sends it every time.

[@tysonfaifer]

Next time you come through TX stop at Erwin Park in DFW. We built a new skills park there that just opened April 23rd 2022.

[@rlh347]

Awesome video… I enjoy the way you tell the “story” about your ride. 💪🏽

[@DemonicVelocity]

I love step ups. There is so much room to fail without risking big injuries. Step downs on the other hand are my personal nightmare.

[@AlexGifford5150]

Very cool you got to ride our trails! Hope you enjoyed your stay here in Texas!

[@AndreLaurentMTB]

Well done. You know it's repetition, rinse and repeat to get your mind to follow your body. Stress less, ride more. Stay safe.

It’s the “Oh i cased it, honey!” U guys r my favorite

[@lauraweissman8830]

I have ridden in Texasx, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and kansas. and by far my favorite trail system is big cedar!

[@johnpaulbolger7678]

So glad you were able to make it down to Texas. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisbfleetwood]

Love your videos, guys. So "pro". Super inspiring. Keep up the great work!

[@enderawesome4521]

You looked far more confident here then a lot of your pervious videos, good job!

[@gr0undrush]

Awesome places. I'd like to see more parks like these. Expecially like wide tabletops where one side is a full table, and the other has a gap, so when you can clear the table you KNOW you can clear the gap, with exactly the same take off and landing.

[@ilili493]

I would love to have something similar here. Most of local parks have rather small tabletops and then pretty big jump to gap jumps. Mot really anything in-between.

[@yasso2031]

every summer i look forward to your videos

[@boydcrowder4436]

Wow, those are some awesome places for practice. I still remember your old video on a big step up gap when you were left hanging by your arms with no bike in sight :) Thanks for keeping it honest.

[@WeekendPirate]

These parks in Texas would be great for someone like me who is just getting comfortable with small jumps

[@blandfox600]

if you guys ever swing by NC in the future, I would highly recommend Fisher Farms black diamond trails. It has some really smooth trails with bolder features, speedy berms and a flowy road gap. The locals really take great care of their trails. (The only trail i wouldn't recommend is the Twisted Sisters. Its kinda rough.)

[@AndersNoen]

I saw you guys! I was biking at this track when i was behind you. I couldnt catch up becouse my gearing was damaged becouse of a jump. But i tried as hard as i could! Love your videos its so relaxing to look at!

[@DoubleNation]

Wait this guy at 12:00 is missing an arm but not giving a shit and riding huge ass rocks with a prosthesis? Mad respect!

[@sawyerstorck4125]

Thanks for the videos! You need to come down again!!

[@Alexandros_Patsialidis]

Now I clearly see why Erik is coming nosy on all of his jumps. I mean kinda controlled nosy. He pops just a bit early: 6:00 And then he also moves towards the handelbar. Just an observation this is 🌹 going to a pumptrack and really learn how to pop with the right riming might help a lot! Cheers and thanks for you fantastic content 🍻

[@liamdillon5343]

Nice job on the step up that’s sick

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Thats some sick riding!

[@ArkAngel_45]

If you're looking for jumps in Texas, check out Seguin Skills Park. The builder Chris is a fantastic person and does jump classes in Saturdays. They work entirely off of donations to the children's center that let's him build out there.

[@aggiemtb4038]

I tested out full pull before all the jumps were put in (with permission of course) and also overshot the first jump. I landed all the way in the dirt and ate it. Great clip for Friday fails

[@eternalsunrides]

Awesome trails, what a great find! How did you hear about this place? Love to watch your stories and travels. You're a big inspiration to my videos and places I've also visited.

[@MtbOverload]

Nice finally a new video

[@nikounourbakhsh8433]

Hey if I could give u a quick tip I noticed when you take off your weight is pretty far forwards when your front wheel leaves the ground so you are bucked forwards and compensate by pushing the bike in front t of you. On bigger jumps that wouldn’t work and you could get bucked. So if you wanted to when your front wheel is taking off you should keep your weight over the center of the back wheel not the center of the bike. Just what I think 🤔

[@THE_RYANN]

This is the issue I'm having a hard time curving. Damn subconscious lol

[@DirtyPandaMTB]

Nice work Erick! Good job on the step up 🤘 feels good to conquer your fear one at a time 😁

[@scottgraham2502]

Great video! There is something I would love to learn. How do you scout a line? The process, the evaluation, then the application. Do you spend a day or read up on the line, or even just stop at each feature? I cannot wait to see your next story!!!! Thank You and Yuka!!!!

You don't need a drop park Eric, you need a step-up area with three progressive step-ups to practice on until you get rid of that anxiety 🙂
