This might have been one of my most favorite Seth's Bike Hack's Segments! I loved the interview with Eric. He seems like a real good guy, someone that I would want to hang out with. I liked this interview format (don't get me wrong, I love the hacks too) a lot and hope to see more like it.
Seth I can't really express how happy your videos make me. They always are fun and cheerful and get me out of a bad mood. But recently my grandmother passed away and you and mountain biking have really lifted my spirits and helped me. I don't usually do giant comments like this but you deserve more than just thanks.
Yeah? .... And it only takes one illness or other bad medical situation when you have no insurance to finish you financially for the rest of your life. It's a big risk that few make it through successfully, the rest are ruined for life either financially or in some cases medically from injuries. A lot of these people don't tell you that they had wealthy parents as backup.
@@MotoAtheist Not everyone has to try a slopestyle jump to check this box. Most of us can do this with much less extreme options. I've heard a lot of people near the end of their lives say they wish they had tried more things and been more adventurous. I have yet to hear anyone say "I tried too many hard things". Or "I should've stuck more to my comfort zone".
@@mikelewis2253 ???? My comment had nothing to do with any one particular goal. It's the ridiculous attitude of drop everything and go after your goals. It's not that simple and most people ruin their lives trying. You need money to survive in this world. If they don't have some kind of backup plan, when things go wrong, their life will suck 1,000 times more than when they decided to drop everything in the first place. All you have to do is look at all the people who chase baseball, football and soccer careers. Very few make it, even those with exceptional skills for one reason or another. It's always the loudmouth blowhards who managed to beat the system that have this ridiculous attitude of "chase your goals at all costs". Hindsight always makes everything seem possible, doesn't it. Well, hindsight goes both ways. Go find the millions of people who didn't make it and get their opinion on this subject.
@@MotoAtheist he did not say you have to "drop everything" to chase a dream. The point is you have to sacrifice SOME comfort and security in order to live that way. There are plenty of sports such as mountain biking that don't require some natural athletic gift to be successful/good at too. You don't have to take sports to an elite level to have lived your dream.
Seth, with this video your channel has reach “next level.” This was a proper mini-documentary. Well done. Production quality was supreme. That last bit with you crashing...😂. Been there done that.
Eric is a humble person. If it was not for him I would have never tried mountain biking. I am grateful for what he taught me many years ago. His balls are enormous by the way...
That would have to be one of the best RUclips clips l have seen in a long time. This to me sums up mountain biking when you get older and have the family, l can relate so much to this. Well done Seth fantastic video.
My favorite video yet. Great job hitting those gaps Seth. those would scare the crap out of me. Eric is a stud. The world needs more amazing people like him.
I held off on watching this because I wasn’t too interested in the topic. Turns out it was yet another great video dude. Good job. Oh and that crash at the end looked like it hurt the next day.
Seth I've got to say, you've got GIANT balls man, those doubles are insane. That "Crash Splat" at the end tho, priceless. I spit my coffee out! Had to watch it 3 or 4 times.
You should make more short, or even longer documentaries about bike legends like Eric porter! They are amazing and they also seem to get you to push your skills! It’s great entertainment and would love to see more like this! Did you have to touch up the paint on their porch?
0:10 You know Seth is a crazy guy when he wakes up full suited in gloves, a helmet, a GoPro on the helmet (that is probably recording) and probably knee-pads under his jeans ...
This is probably my favorite Seth Hacks vid I have ever seen...and I've seen almost all of them. Eric Porter seems like a really great guy and his comments at the end of the video are awesome!
Respect! With such a low budget you did such an amazing job interviewing, showing the heart of an athlete and his family. I love everything about this video, but I have to comment on the end. I was expecting a fade away shot of a sunset perhaps, but noooo, you had to go with the Bonny thing into the deck! I was like wtf!!!
That last crash is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I watched it at least ten time and laughed harder each time. The way his legs fly into the air had me rolling.. My sides and stomach actually hurt. Great stuff.
so glad i hung on till the end.. "I dont know why i though that was going to work..." no finer words have ever been uttered from the mouth of a mountain biker who went ahead and tried it anyway!
Make your own channel and upload weekly MTB stuff and that also means edited and all set up with six gopros and do everything Seth does it’s harder than you might think
One of your best vids yet! And, THANK YOU for adding that wreck clip at the end. That humble dose of reality is part of what makes your vids great. And, it made me laugh really hard.
Seth, you make high quality videos. Never been disappointed once. This video; however, is quite spectacular. Love the history of Eric, your accomplishments on his rad property, and the humility by you to end with a total wipeout that looked both hilarious and painful. Thank you.
Man I have not been able to stop watching these videos. Seth you are making awesome content and I've had a BLAST watching all of these. I've been an avid biker for some time and have been doing a lot of research because of a DIY ebike project I'm dreaming up and then discovered this rabbit hole of a channel! Now you and Alex make me want to upend everything and live in the woods
@ Seth’s bike hacks me and my girlfriend want to ride our mountain bikes together but she’s a bit afraid and I want to ride at least a moderate trail but I don’t know what I could do to make her feel more comfortable on a difficult trail pls answer
Dat succulent Boi, I'm definitely not seth but coach her up. Walk her through the trails you know how to ride. Show her the lines. Start her on green and blue lines make multiple laps of it.
Dat succulent Boi start small and teach her the techniques to clear obstacles safely .. most importantly don't push her too hard or she may loose interest .. my gf and I have recently got back into biking after a 15 year break and it's been awesome so far.
When you were talking about Mcgazza I nearly geared up. I live in New Zealand and grew up riding Mountain bikes. Mcgazza was my idol, like I would wake up everyday wishing a could be with him. Long live Mcgazza!!
thanks for the upload so inspiring decide to go all out for this. love your channel and hopefully one day I can get to where your channel is and bring change to peoples lives aswell
Nice video Seth. Eric's yard looks rad. I came across another one of your videos the other day with Eric and saw the slides in his backyard. I thought those look like Beringer's slides. A couple days later I find myself sitting in a pole barn, in my home state of Nebraska, with Beringer himself. We are shooting the breeze and riding some bikes when I asked him about it. He was like yeah Eric had gotten the slides from him. Cool to see the whole story come full circle with this video that I just now watched a couple days later. BTW I am stoked for you to conquer your demons and get over those jumps.
That ending though.
that was brutal, id be down for the rest of the week
I'm on it. Animated GIF incoming.
Idk if u saw the same crash on his insta, but it had a different angle there. Looked really gnarly.
BlockCylinder When you recover from a hang over but you have work the next day.
smeashed his balls breh
This was one of the most enjoyable videos to produce, and I hope you guys like it. Definitely give @portermtb a follow on instagram for more content!
Seth's Bike Hacks could you review a cheap hardtail or dirt jumper. It's been a long time since one of them review videos. Good Video!
Great video. There's such authenticity in the way you deliver the story. I especially like the end of the video :-)
This is one of my favorite videos from you I’ve ever seen! So great!
Excellent work Seth..really excellent.
I’m eleven is that a good excuse but I ride a trek Roscoe 8 and a diamondback lux st.
Seth crashes super gnarly like... then says "I'm sorry"... Seth you sure you're not Canadian?
that crash looked as bad as the one that Taco'd the wheel on his Sync'r Pro (Pre Murder Machine)
Seriously, Seth did you lose any teeth?
That was worse than the crash that snapped my MCL the other week and Seth walked away. Balls of canadian steel that man.
That kid didn't even flinch! savage....
Only liked this video for the last clip at the end. That put me over the like threshold!
Seth "I can't afford to get hurt" ...and then runs in a wall
Hey he's on American health care.
“It’s not even an option..”
Seth I have watcher your RUclips Channel for a year now
8:54
Hadley Odenbach don’t depend on government for anything
You are one damn good producer and director seth. You are shaping the future of mountain biking videos. keep SMEASHIN it my dude!
It's in his genes ;)
Seth - great video about a great guy- love the passion, love the Eric history - cheers, Steve
Lol

Agreed, and it's a nice little production piece with a super groovy family.

But recently my grandmother passed away and you and mountain biking have really lifted my spirits and helped me. I don't usually do giant comments like this but you deserve more than just thanks.
R.I.P Grandma😢😭😢😢😭😭
Ending is the best!
Love that message at 8:12
Agree, Brian. That's going in my file of all time great quotes.

Oh man, that animated intro in the style of your garage wall. Just perfect.
Funny you recognized the style-that was designed by the same artist who did the garage wall @sketchytrails

5:45 I thought the kid was trying to manual lol

I tead 54:54 and i was like wait a hour video?
Yeah, me too!
I didn´t see the last one coming, that was pretty high!! Cheers from chile for trying that one!!
Im the first like and comment on a verified youtubers comment
Seth: “Getting hurt isn’t an option right now.”
Also Seth: 8:54
I KNEW I recognized those slides from Behringer's house - that place was legendary! Great video Seth, this one is so enjoyable.
As always
I like how at the end when he doesn’t make it on the deck he says “oooof” 8:52
Nolan Redder roblox be like
Delicious Toenail juice why did you name yourself that?
Jamie’s Channel which is very very cool idk but why you name your self Jamie’s Channel which is very very cool?
Oof
These are put together better than most tv programmes now. My favourite RUclipsr by far
Could not be a Seth's Bike Hacks video without a crash with him trying to do something really gnarly. Awesome video, Seth! Well done!!!
The attempt onto the porch was hilarious. Glad you're ok. Excited!!! Got my t-shirt coming next week.
That porch bunny hop was fantastic! Made my day!
Seth, with this video your channel has reach “next level.” This was a proper mini-documentary. Well done. Production quality was supreme. That last bit with you crashing...😂. Been there done that.
R.I.P KELLY🤘🤘🤘🤘

No, he didn’t die did he?
@@jace6349 yes. sadly.
Eric is a humble person. If it was not for him I would have never tried mountain biking. I am grateful for what he taught me many years ago. His balls are enormous by the way...
dude that ending ..i love how you push yourself everytime Keep it coming Seth...big thumbs up
Videos are getting better and better Seth... just wow at how awesome you are day after day
That would have to be one of the best RUclips clips l have seen in a long time. This to me sums up mountain biking when you get older and have the family, l can relate so much to this.
Well done Seth fantastic video.
OMG, that last one just made me curl into a little ball. Great video, love these stories.
This was such a good video, might be one of the best you’ve ever made.
Logan Urrunaga i was thinking the same thing
I just commented the same!!
My favorite video yet. Great job hitting those gaps Seth. those would scare the crap out of me. Eric is a stud. The world needs more amazing people like him.

I love the inspirational factor behind this... And documentary style talking-head shots
Loved hearing Eric's story! (Representing from Kentucky!) I hope you do more videos like this, Seth!
What's up!
That was an awesome video. That might have been the first time I recall seeing Seth a bit scared. And that ending was great.
Such an inspiring video! Sacrifices to make your dreams happen... Just WOW 😍
Man you ate shit on that hop at the end there. Think I need it on a loop!! 100% commitment tho!
27 seconds into this video and Eric Porter is already a new hero of mine lol.
I like the intro :)
Awesome vid!!! Holy crap!!! that bunny hop was hilarious and looked so painful too!!! hahaha.
You should make more short, or even longer documentaries about bike legends like Eric porter! They are amazing and they also seem to get you to push your skills! It’s great entertainment and would love to see more like this! Did you have to touch up the paint on their porch?
RIP McGazza! Awesome video!
0:10 You know Seth is a crazy guy when he wakes up full suited in gloves, a helmet, a GoPro on the helmet (that is probably recording) and probably knee-pads under his jeans ...
Great video, that ending!! omg.
The

Was
Epic
Lol
William Adams Word!
This is probably my favorite Seth Hacks vid I have ever seen...and I've seen almost all of them. Eric Porter seems like a really great guy and his comments at the end of the video are awesome!
What a nice Backyard!💪
This video was pure gold. Eric is a solid guy, and proves that if you really want it, you can make it happen. Keep on making awesome vids Seth!
Hope you keep making videos Seth really enjoy them. Love from Oz 😊
If I had the level confidence and commitment you did @8:51 I'd be dead! Awesome video!
Hey Seth, Diamondback should definitely hook you up with one of those sweet looking dirt jump bikes.
Yea
This is Truly one of the Best!!!
The interview was so professional
Great message, and that ending! I love it!
Such a sick video! One day I hope to get my yard like that 💭
Greg Barling your yard is just as sick
Thanks! I need to build some wooden ramps like these and get a water slide haha
Yesss Greg legendary
Greg Barling omg a water slide would be so fckn dope
Your yard is sick too
Respect! With such a low budget you did such an amazing job interviewing, showing the heart of an athlete and his family. I love everything about this video, but I have to comment on the end. I was expecting a fade away shot of a sunset perhaps, but noooo, you had to go with the Bonny thing into the deck! I was like wtf!!!
LMAO!
Eric: "You can't bunny hop onto the deck.
"Seth: "Hold my beer."
More of this Dude, This was awesome!
I laughed so hard to the ending when you said you were totally right😂
What a lovely bloke Eric Porter is. And anyone who reads Harry the Dirty Dog to kids is also lovely. Thank you Mr Seth.
Seth: I've had some pretty gnarly crashes
Eric: hold my beer
That last crash is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I watched it at least ten time and laughed harder each time. The way his legs fly into the air had me rolling.. My sides and stomach actually hurt. Great stuff.
Hahahah at the end 😂 I pissed my self 😂
That ending was incredible.
That mini heart attack i got on the last part... feel like a jumpscare :'D
Great vid btw
so glad i hung on till the end.. "I dont know why i though that was going to work..." no finer words have ever been uttered from the mouth of a mountain biker who went ahead and tried it anyway!

Seth, you make high quality videos. Never been disappointed once.
This video; however, is quite spectacular. Love the history of Eric, your accomplishments on his rad property, and the humility by you to end with a total wipeout that looked both hilarious and painful.
Thank you.
Little did Seth know he’d have a trail just as awesome right in his back yard in just less than 2 years
The boys packin' the dirt was killer! Haha!
*It’s going to take sacrifice for dreams to come true*
But my dream is to have no sacrifices, how does that work?
you must sacrifice the no sacrifices rule
then just do your best to not think too hard about it
Love building jumps with my boy! Nothing more awesome than seeing a kid nail something.
“ I can’t afford to hurt.”
Runs into a wall
Seth 101
Park Reviews, Tech Tips, How-To's, Pro Rider Interviews....Seth is creating an empire!

Great video, Seth. It reminds me again of why your yours is my favorite mountain biking channel. Keep up the good work 👊
Always a treat to watch your videos, they are informative, humorous, and real. Keep up the great videos...
This dude gets it, family, friends, and fun.
Dude! I love this mini-doc style. Really nice editing man.
Seth, this video was awesome. Thanks for making it.
This was a very inspirational video Seth. Good job
Seth, you definitely have the art of making videos down. Watching your weekly video is like visiting with an old friend.
