In order for him to create an experience for you not limited by his own speed he needs to go faster than you. That's what being a good guide is, show the road without being a bottleneck. He's not racing you, he's allowing you to be as fast as you can.
Sad to say someone might have the skills but not a good bike to keep up. Even though you are super strong if your bike is not in good condition anymore because you don't have the money to repair then you can't compete.
apply this to every sport you can think of. theres so much skill out there, ive seen kids play baseball like pros, they just lack the opportunities, i grew up in Mexico, this kid rips!

@CALICOTV301 there is good women everywhere. but i live here and my gf is also from here, so if i did not say they are the best i would get knocked out
@CALICOTV301 well then it shows how pointless it is for you to ask the question. Are you going to go into guitar center and ask "do you guys sell guitars?" Your question could've been: "are there alot of white females? Short females? Big ol' titties or lean beauties?" But instead you asked the most generic cliche question in the world, which will give you a generic answer Domino's is a big chain, pizza from dominos will taste pretty much identical. Just like women are worldwide. There will be pretty ones everywhere. But nonetheless, you did not get my point. If my significant other is native from chihuahua, then obviously i will tell you they are the prettiest in the world, and that was my point.
There’s plenty of places in and round Copper Canyon that defies imagination; like the locals - some of the most decent people I’ve ever met. My buddy lost his wallet, it took a local kid a day to find him and return it - no reward was accepted. A memory never to be forgotten!
Only bad people make the nightly news headlines from Mexico. But there are soooooooooooo many more good, nice, beautiful people in Mexico that you will unfortunately never hear of because they are not news worthy. It's the same everywhere, just get out there and enjoy life and meet these good people on your own.
Just remember that in some parts of the world it's polite to refuse twice before accepting, so you should always ask three times. If it's refused on the third attempt then you know they are actually refusing it.

I know very, very little about mountain biking. I'm curious, how fast (on average) were they going? (at some parts it seemed *Very* fast!)... I couldn't even see where the trail was. It appeared like one little slip and *POOF!* -- off the side of the mountain they'd go!
this is a lesson that my dad taught me many many years ago. it doesnt matter what you are using, it doesnt matter how much you spend on that fancy tool or part to improve whatever you are using. what matters is your skill with what you are using. all the fancy and expensive upgrades do 5% of the work, and 95% placebo effect. what matters is how far comfortable you are with your passion or actions with whatever it is in life. from mountain biking to pen collecting. the skill comes from you. and this young man demonstrated that point beautifully. all the love and be safe out there everyone!

Yeah, the kid took it easy on you. :) You have to take some credit though, you weren't familiar with that trail, yet you hung in there very well. Great vid, thanks for sharing!
That's what I was thinking. This kid knows every rock and curve on this trail. The poster was keeping up having seeing it for the first time ever. Not to say the kid wasn't a great rider. I'd give him a new set of tires as well.
Josh, I know you want to do this too... I speak Spanish and live in WA, let´s go send it with Luis! I say we get him a better bike too. Share the love you know?
@@valentinoramirez7121 yeah they think he earns more than US minimum wage lol. In reality he's probably living hand to mouth and sacrificing his education. 30 years from now what is he going to be doing? Very sad.
I saw the length of this vid, and I was like there's no way I'm going to be sitting on this toilet for that long... I was wrong. Very captivating video! The time went by so fast! Ps: butts numb now thanks alot
Hope you guys left him a solid tip for the great experience, I personally would have gotten his address and mailed him a set fresh tyres & tubes, as a ty.
Tip? Payment... that is the work of a day! Maybe they went for vacations and funny "diversión" but he is working and he made a great job! They live in a country where the money is at least 18 times more expensive than México... I think they could pay well for the job and not just a miserable tip. Do you have money for a $6000 bike... I think you can give at least $50 or $100.
A tip is obviously given on top of the price they were charged! After all he was their guide not their friend, he was providing a service. When have you gone to a restaurant and gave a tip without paying for your meal first?
In order for this kid to even have the bike he has. I'm sure he had to save up for a couple of months and work hard af. I know this because I was born in Mexico (now living in texas) and I know the type of life style that people have there.

Este niño es el claro ejemplo de las limitaciones que tenemos muchos mexicanos, y que aun así nos esforzamos para salir adelante a pesar de las circunstancias
This just proves that people put too much emphasis on suspension, head tube angles, dropper posts, etc. while this kid is riding a basic entry level mountain bike
3:25 it's more than a village, that's a very famous family cave from the Tarahumaras. They have kept the traditions and culture while most other tarahumaras have adopted a more western lifestyle
esto es un claro ejemplo que la practica hace al maestro ...no hay que quitar merito al que le sigue el paso, yo creo que nunca antes hizo la ruta y le sigo el paso ...una belleza
Gracias por dar a conocer estos lugares tan hermoso que tienen los hermanos mexicanos y para los amantes del MTB esto es el paraíso!!!! Muchas gracias desde el Sur de Argentina!!
The Jamis XR(26?) is far from a $120 bike. 1) Jamis is a brand name, not sold in Wal-Mart but sold at bike shops. 2) Wal-Mart doesn't even sell a $120 mountain bike anymore. $200+ range for STILL inferior stamped out crap from China. 3) If you find a working Jamis XR for $120, buy it quickly. They retail for about 3 to 3.5x that.
You’re wrong my ex and I purchased two huffy mountain bikes from Walmart for 100$ a pop. You get what you pay for. I know my front wheel was bent as was hers.
totally agree,cannot fault his riding but if you know a trail really well and know where you need to brake and where you can open the taps it is fairly easy to leave the competition for dead,we have all done it,local knowledge is everything
Carnal, brother, hermano, amigo, soy de México y me hizo sentir muy orgulloso tu video, espero puedas darte más oportunidades a México, es grande y tiene rutas espectaculares para Bicicleta de montaña y/o carreteras
That kid is soooo awesome I would want to just give him like four thousand dollars for him to buy himself an even better bike, he's sooo good and just seems like an awesome human being!
@@albundy3929 the bike shop will support the riders biking needs. He could work for them or the government could fund them even at minimal since they contribute to the tourism of the area
@@albundy3929 they do that in our trails here. Our local guides get sponsored bikes donated from the government. It's not the best but its a proper Giant that does the job. Just because you never heard about it doesnt mean it aint a reality. So yeah, get real buddy. It does happen
That kid was not just fast but skilled as well. You two did great to keep up with him. I wonder if he was surprised you were able to hang with him. Some pretty sketchy areas also. I would have died along the way.
Exacto, lo mismo pasa con diferentes disciplinas como el skate o el bmx, conozco a muchos chicos de entre 16-25 años que hacen grandes cosas con equipo barato. Nos subestiman mucho a veces.
What a legend, just shows that all the talk of old geometry not being good enough, must have through axel, more than 120mm of fork... rubbish. If the bike works, it works. Love it. Looked like you all had some fun, which is what it's all about.
Doesn't matter how fast or slow you complete the trail. It's more about enjoying the ride and completing it safely. This is a leisurely low key adventure sport. Not a fucking competition. Or a drag race.
He has done it more the a million times the money he collected is just make him feel better but I bet he take them on them trails just for fun. About him not knowing how skilled he is your right in Mexico the government thinks it take more than that to be skilled but I wish I was as fast as this kid and I’m Mexican used to right every day just like that kid but not as fast as him that’s for sure
@@johnstemos7849 Because adults can use adult words. Especially in an informal setting such as a youtube comment section. Why are you so concerned about a word that is inconsequential to you?
This video is awesome. The biking fascinates me and your video production and quality are phenomenal. Also, Luis and the way you intertwined him with your production was well executed. Luis is awesome!!! I had a big grin on my face the entire time. Thank you :)
This is like some Initial D stuff right here. You wonder how fast the guy could be if he had a high end bike. As it is, he’s gotta be pushing that bike to it’s absolute limits. What a beast.
I'm 60 years old and I still Do Trails like that.... in my dreams but it did have a a lot of biking under my belt wonderful ride guys thank you for sharing
That Mexican guys like skill is important than an expensive bike . Imagine How many skill future champs are in this world struggling to get an ordinary life 💫
If this doesn't inspire people to stop making excuses and just go ride their bikes, I don't know what will. So much respect for the kid. Thanks for sharing the ride with us 🤙
who ever did build the trail put a ton of hours and hard work into it. the way the rocks combs the edges cmon man that's sick. very tough work. great video Eric
Noo! Come on! These are actually just communicating trails between villages. They work just perfect for that matter but the tarahumaras have had going and coming through these routes since ever.
My first throught when he would gap you a little when you started the descents was that he was fearless, and knew every square inch of that trail...which would explain his speed. But then it dawned on me...he probably had nowhere near a competent set of brakes on that bike, much less any tires that would give him any braking power, and he was probably holding on for dear life!! Gotta admire the speed. He wasn't one of those guides out there for a sight seeing adventure. He wasn't going to have anyone complain about him not going fast enough! :-) Great video and riding...as always!
Nah, his brakes, while perhaps not the best, were of 2012 vintage which should be more than decent. If you want to talk bad brakes, go ride an MTB from the late 80's/early 90s with original cantilever brakes. Now those were scary!
@@Roaming50 ... Yeah, I owned one! I had a Trek 930 from about 1993-1997. I was the first person in the area to add the aftermarket the Rockshox fork. It had the rubber boots on it, and while it did soften it up a little, it completely changed the geometry from the rigid fork, and made it a lot more twitchy and difficult to ride. But...I convinced myself it was better after spending that much money, and kept on truckin'. :-)
@@Roaming50 ... I wouldn't question if they were CAPABLE of stopping him. I would be more about questioning where they stood from a service perspective. I also don't know if it was shifting correctly, because he was in an awfully high gear on a lot of those climbs. I was just thinking...bald tires is usually indicative of the rest of the bike's service history. But...it could very well have been in peak condition for all I know. I was trying to be funny....apparently, it didn't work. :-)
@@aaronp9835 it really doesn't I ride a pretty cheap bike that I've had since 2011 and I have no problem keeping up with riders on expensive bikes. Riding a cheap bike is fun it's like owning an Italian car you never know what's going to fall off next lol.
I’m glad you where decided to take an adventure in Chihuahua, Mexico, (I’m Mexican by the way), That area isn’t really dangerous for tourist people, I hope you where enjoyed a lot your trip and your training there, and even more because you published this video on you tube, hopefully you go back to visit another places in Mexico for your ridings, I’m completely sure you won’t be disappointed at all if you do. 👍🏼
In order for him to create an experience for you not limited by his own speed he needs to go faster than you. That's what being a good guide is, show the road without being a bottleneck. He's not racing you, he's allowing you to be as fast as you can.
That is right, he just opened the way for them and help them prevented every danger from the track and he did it perfectly.
Well said.Awesome comment
very good point!
Or maybe he was just having fun.
That's correct.
Imagine how many world champs there are out there in the world who cant afford a decent bike or money to be able to compete.
Sad to say someone might have the skills but not a good bike to keep up. Even though you are super strong if your bike is not in good condition anymore because you don't have the money to repair then you can't compete.

Yeah, the kid took it easy on you. :) You have to take some credit though, you weren't familiar with that trail, yet you hung in there very well. Great vid, thanks for sharing!
That's what I was thinking. This kid knows every rock and curve on this trail. The poster was keeping up having seeing it for the first time ever. Not to say the kid wasn't a great rider. I'd give him a new set of tires as well.
yeah he knows it like the back of his head
@@workhard3994 I thought I made that phrase up! Interesting to see it used by someone else.

Not enough comments regarding the beautiful landscape. What a gorgeous country!
What a cool job to have as a young kid, he gets to rip, meet new people, and get paid!!
Yes it is!
He never thought he would have a job like this.
But how much does he get
@@valentinoramirez7121 yeah they think he earns more than US minimum wage lol. In reality he's probably living hand to mouth and sacrificing his education. 30 years from now what is he going to be doing? Very sad.
I saw the length of this vid, and I was like there's no way I'm going to be sitting on this toilet for that long... I was wrong.
Very captivating video! The time went by so fast!
Ps: butts numb now thanks alot

Him: i have $6000 bicycle
Kid: i have expensive skills
ha! The true!
Lol
The important thing is not the tool, if how you use it. In addition to knowing how to modify it to adapt it to changes.
He knows the trail pretty good, that's the different gringo idiota
I have $87 dollar bicycle
Estaría bien mandarle una bicicleta buena a Luis desde Estados Unidos,qué bueno ese niño ,un makina,viva México!!! Saludos desde Málaga,españa
Hope you guys left him a solid tip for the great experience, I personally would have gotten his address and mailed him a set fresh tyres & tubes, as a ty.
Tip?
Payment... that is the work of a day!
Maybe they went for vacations and funny "diversión" but he is working and he made a great job!
They live in a country where the money is at least 18 times more expensive than México... I think they could pay well for the job and not just a miserable tip.
Do you have money for a $6000 bike... I think you can give at least $50 or $100.
A tip is obviously given on top of the price they were charged! After all he was their guide not their friend, he was providing a service. When have you gone to a restaurant and gave a tip without paying for your meal first?
He is the star of this video. I was watching him not these american tourist. His services does not include appearing in youtube videos. So go figure.
I woulda just gave him the tires off my bike and my friends bike..
In order for this kid to even have the bike he has. I'm sure he had to save up for a couple of months and work hard af. I know this because I was born in Mexico (now living in texas) and I know the type of life style that people have there.
That kid is faster than my internet, im watching this at 144p and still lagging

The main thing i took away from this was the shocking realization that there is a grander grand canyon
Have you wonder why, you've never heard about it(copper canyon). Knowing it's relatively near the"grand canyon"
Look into El Canyon de Sumidero in Chiapas an even greater one :P
the u.s. should invade mexico and rename it to "Greatest Canyon" ;)
Ali Tarbhai the canyon de sumidero is not better than the copper canyon
Things the US didn't want you to know in school for 400 Alex.
Someone give this young talent a big opportunity please
we should find him and make a donation. 8 millions views.... he should get a fucking bike.
The kid is living proof that if you love the sport and maintain your kit, you can shred anything on anything.
Este niño es el claro ejemplo de las limitaciones que tenemos muchos mexicanos, y que aun así nos esforzamos para salir adelante a pesar de las circunstancias
Oh please. He is corrupt and will probably grow up to be a drug runnner.

Extremely impresive, that gives us poor guys hope, that you can do a lot with a old used bike.
Try do this in mountains and you broke your cheap bike. Some sort of fake in titles i think.
Tarahumaras are known for winning marathons barefoot, they walk long distances
Duh, stop whining and making excuses.
This just proves that people put too much emphasis on suspension, head tube angles, dropper posts, etc. while this kid is riding a basic entry level mountain bike
my first bike was the Specialized demo expert and i dont think i could even ride a bike like this
As a 17 year old you body can take more damage,im 40 and would rather have all the suspension and best engineer on a bike to have a smoother ride
Slyest1 SoCal you want a smooth ride then drive a Lexus. This is mountain biking, it ain’t no tea party.
@@beastfromtheeast9318 i have both a Lexus and and Yeti buddy best of both worlds go figure lol
Slyest1 SoCal nice, what you have LS500?
Outstanding!!! That kid can ride like nobody's business!!! He needs to enter some of these sponsored Enduro races!!!
3:25 it's more than a village, that's a very famous family cave from the Tarahumaras. They have kept the traditions and culture while most other tarahumaras have adopted a more western lifestyle
That is so cool! Thanks for the information!
You cut out all the parts when he had to wait for you 😂😂😂
But kept the part where the kid fell 😁🤣😂
he didn't do to bad for not knowing the trail (first time) knowing the trail is a huge advantage, how many times has that kid hit that trail?
@@leonzorivera :0
Ryux4x4 i agree with you but it’s still 120$ vs 6000$ bike, the kid is good
Ryux4x4 I have a feeling he’s done that trail more than 1000 times because he’s a guide for mountain biking tourists coming there
Like the way he appreciates the kids riding skills on route.
esto es un claro ejemplo que la practica hace al maestro ...no hay que quitar merito al que le sigue el paso, yo creo que nunca antes hizo la ruta y le sigo el paso ...una belleza
Si, y sobre todo saber poner manos a la bici,no puedes hacer enduro si no has apretado y checado las tuercas! Te matas!

Spending money doesn’t make up for skill , that kid can ride 👍
Yes, he clearly doesn't need to compensate, does he?
No and riding a shit bike doesn’t make up for skill either.
@@MichaelRei99 Not if you're really good at it, which this kid is current;y. Probably smoke you on any trail.
He's probably rode those trails more times than one could count. He can still ride well, but knowledge of the trail helps emensly
Lane Waite ,sure ,i agree he’s probably done that trail hundreds of times
Gracias por dar a conocer estos lugares tan hermoso que tienen los hermanos mexicanos y para los amantes del MTB esto es el paraíso!!!! Muchas gracias desde el Sur de Argentina!!
The kid should be sponsored by trek or specialized. Looks what he is doing with a 120 dollar bike
The Jamis XR(26?) is far from a $120 bike.
1) Jamis is a brand name, not sold in Wal-Mart but sold at bike shops.
2) Wal-Mart doesn't even sell a $120 mountain bike anymore. $200+ range for STILL inferior stamped out crap from China.
3) If you find a working Jamis XR for $120, buy it quickly. They retail for about 3 to 3.5x that.
You’re wrong my ex and I purchased two huffy mountain bikes from Walmart for 100$ a pop. You get what you pay for. I know my front wheel was bent as was hers.
@@EvilTwin123 Thats not what bicycle blue book says, but we all know how that goes when we're trying to sell our bikes...
That never happen .. No one wants the natives .. Maket great..
@@EvilTwin123 I'm pretty sure that's the blue book value of it today. Not the cost brand new.
His local knowledge of the trail is key.
mypandabear
That kid probably rides those trails 2 or 3 times a day.
The speed he was traveling he could ride I'd blindfolded.
exactly
totally agree,cannot fault his riding but if you know a trail really well and know where you need to brake and where you can open the taps it is fairly easy to leave the competition for dead,we have all done it,local knowledge is everything
Carnal, brother, hermano, amigo, soy de México y me hizo sentir muy orgulloso tu video, espero puedas darte más oportunidades a México, es grande y tiene rutas espectaculares para Bicicleta de montaña y/o carreteras
Siento lo mismo ❤️🔥
That kid is soooo awesome I would want to just give him like four thousand dollars for him to buy himself an even better bike, he's sooo good and just seems like an awesome human being!
And? You did?
@@petertrhan6811 bahaha
Give him 4Gs he'll probably spend it for his family. I hope a proper bike shop would sponsor him a proper bike
@@albundy3929 the bike shop will support the riders biking needs. He could work for them or the government could fund them even at minimal since they contribute to the tourism of the area
@@albundy3929 they do that in our trails here. Our local guides get sponsored bikes donated from the government. It's not the best but its a proper Giant that does the job. Just because you never heard about it doesnt mean it aint a reality. So yeah, get real buddy. It does happen

Viva México y sus gente que siempre logra mucho con muy poco
Claro que sí mamasita
!Aguevo, viva Michoacan paisana!
Exacto, lo mismo pasa con diferentes disciplinas como el skate o el bmx, conozco a muchos chicos de entre 16-25 años que hacen grandes cosas con equipo barato. Nos subestiman mucho a veces.
Pero eso es en todos lados, no es patrimonio de los mexicanos.
What a legend, just shows that all the talk of old geometry not being good enough, must have through axel, more than 120mm of fork... rubbish. If the bike works, it works. Love it. Looked like you all had some fun, which is what it's all about.

It’s all about the engine!!!
Exactly.
And knowledge
He knows the root there's a difference he knows when to break
Yes if you suck a great bike won’t help but how many top riders ride shitty bikes?
I DONT THINK THAT KID REALIZES HOW SKILLED HE IS, HE WAS ACTUALLY GOING SLOW AND STOPPING TO LET HIS CUSTOMERS CATCH UP. 🎃🎃🎃🎃
He has probably done it like 50 times at least.
Doesn't matter how fast or slow you complete the trail. It's more about enjoying the ride and completing it safely. This is a leisurely low key adventure sport. Not a fucking competition. Or a drag race.
@@thatWanderingSoul why are u cussing
He has done it more the a million times the money he collected is just make him feel better but I bet he take them on them trails just for fun. About him not knowing how skilled he is your right in Mexico the government thinks it take more than that to be skilled but I wish I was as fast as this kid and I’m Mexican used to right every day just like that kid but not as fast as him that’s for sure
@@johnstemos7849 Because adults can use adult words. Especially in an informal setting such as a youtube comment section.
Why are you so concerned about a word that is inconsequential to you?
This video is awesome. The biking fascinates me and your video production and quality are phenomenal. Also, Luis and the way you intertwined him with your production was well executed. Luis is awesome!!! I had a big grin on my face the entire time. Thank you :)

An expensive bike only makes the ride easier it won't make you better.
He knows the trail that's why he's faster I've had cheap bikes and there not faster plus hes younger more energy
Also it's trail .. He knows he can't used it out of it's limit
Es el conductor no la bicicleta 🚵♀️ si tienes la condición física no hay obstáculo.
@@avefenixml exacatmente, una bicicleta cara es sola mejor para tu trasero!
make the ride easier for the rider which in turn make you better on the trail....
This is like some Initial D stuff right here. You wonder how fast the guy could be if he had a high end bike. As it is, he’s gotta be pushing that bike to it’s absolute limits. What a beast.
THIS IS AWESOME, how to properly appreciate a foreign country
Whoever gives this kid a new bike,please do a video,i'm pretty sure he's gonna be really happy!!
I'm 60 years old and I still Do Trails like that.... in my dreams but it did have a a lot of biking under my belt wonderful ride guys thank you for sharing
That Mexican guys like skill is important than an expensive bike . Imagine How many skill future champs are in this world struggling to get an ordinary life 💫
If this doesn't inspire people to stop making excuses and just go ride their bikes, I don't know what will. So much respect for the kid. Thanks for sharing the ride with us 🤙
So true. I'll never again be able to use my 2009 bike as an excuse after seeing Luis ride.
NEW BIKE FOR LUIS 💓. NUEVA BICI PARA LUIS 💓
""Let's give Luis a New Real Bike""
EXCELENTE VÍDEO!!!. EXCELENT VIDEO.
who ever did build the trail put a ton of hours and hard work into it. the way the rocks combs the edges cmon man that's sick. very tough work. great video Eric
Noo! Come on! These are actually just communicating trails between villages. They work just perfect for that matter but the tarahumaras have had going and coming through these routes since ever.
2:20 “advanced is good”
Luis: Say less 🚵🏽♀️💨
I love how this video highlights that there is no substitute for skills all the best bike gear in the world won’t make you a better rider
My first throught when he would gap you a little when you started the descents was that he was fearless, and knew every square inch of that trail...which would explain his speed. But then it dawned on me...he probably had nowhere near a competent set of brakes on that bike, much less any tires that would give him any braking power, and he was probably holding on for dear life!!
Gotta admire the speed. He wasn't one of those guides out there for a sight seeing adventure. He wasn't going to have anyone complain about him not going fast enough! :-)
Great video and riding...as always!
he locked up the brakes often
Nah, his brakes, while perhaps not the best, were of 2012 vintage which should be more than decent. If you want to talk bad brakes, go ride an MTB from the late 80's/early 90s with original cantilever brakes. Now those were scary!
@@Roaming50 ... Yeah, I owned one! I had a Trek 930 from about 1993-1997. I was the first person in the area to add the aftermarket the Rockshox fork. It had the rubber boots on it, and while it did soften it up a little, it completely changed the geometry from the rigid fork, and made it a lot more twitchy and difficult to ride. But...I convinced myself it was better after spending that much money, and kept on truckin'. :-)
@@Roaming50 ... I wouldn't question if they were CAPABLE of stopping him. I would be more about questioning where they stood from a service perspective. I also don't know if it was shifting correctly, because he was in an awfully high gear on a lot of those climbs. I was just thinking...bald tires is usually indicative of the rest of the bike's service history. But...it could very well have been in peak condition for all I know.
I was trying to be funny....apparently, it didn't work. :-)
What you captured was truly beautiful. Enjoyed every minute of it.
What a amazing rider.. I pray Luis does great things
This proves u don’t need to have a good bike to have fun
But there's more fun you can get on high-end bike. This kid know the limit on his bike soooo it would not going to kill himself..
Don't need a expensive bike to be good
But it makes a HUGE difference
@@aaronp9835 it really doesn't I ride a pretty cheap bike that I've had since 2011 and I have no problem keeping up with riders on expensive bikes. Riding a cheap bike is fun it's like owning an Italian car you never know what's going to fall off next lol.
You don't need a good bike, you need a good attitude. The food bike will come later!!
Whenever I watch these videos I feel like I’m about to fly off the trail down the cliff and die from my couch. Lol
Well, you can actually fell from your couch if you're sleeping and dreaming about flying off the trail to the abbys in your bike
Watching some of the trail sections made me VERY anxious.
