Haha yeah I think you're right, he's coming for me! Nothing would make me more proud than to get smoked on a trail by my son, I give it another year or two...
I agree, it must be all the time on the pumptrack and the hardtail, he's great at pumping, finding good lines, and staying smooth, it's really good to see!
Trey here from Race Cascadia, great video as always, and super impressive Milo took the win riding two of three stages blind. This should also be mandatory watching for all parents riding with their kids at our events. It was the perfect amount of support and encouragement.
What's up Trey! Glad you enjoyed the video, I was hoping to do your event justice, you guys are crushing it. That was an amazing event, we would love to race the whole series if we could! Feel free to share the video if you want, I always try to encourage people to just let the kids ride their race and be there in a support role, they don't need someone to tell them to go faster or try harder, it's all about having fun!
I'm a 15 yr old girl going into my first Enduro race this weekend. Watching these videos makes me excited knowing I'm never going to be alone in the world, as people have to start somewhere, at any age. I come from a family of cross country racing, and my sister raced at a national level, but I was always better at the downhill/tech, so I told my dad I would commit to Enduro racing, he said I had to prove to him I would devote myself to it, so I practiced downhill and Enduro courses everyday near my house and included practicing jumps, trakcstand, etc, and he got me a bike and armour for my birthday. I am so excited for my race, and Goodluck to your son! My father used to be faster than me, but now he can't keep up! Soon, it will be the same, as another comment said 😎
That is so cool to hear, you are gonna have so much fun!!! Enduro is a really good environment, I'm sure every race is different but all the enduro's I've done were very welcoming and people rode together throughout the day. It's great talking to other riders on the climbs and before/after stages too. Milo also races XC but he REALLY loves the DH and Enduro stuff, he's begging to do a DH race next year! That's awesome you're going faster than your dad too, I wonder if Milo will beat me by the time he's 15?? Good luck this weekend!!
Dangggg congrats Milo!! He was looking especially smooth and composed even when getting loose at spots, not an easy task under race pressure; congrats bro!!
Thanks Alex! I couldn't believe how smooth he was riding, it's cool seeing him in competition as well, it doesn't seem to phase him, got ice in his veins haha.
That moment when your riding with your kid(s) and you ACTUALLY get a chance to sit back and SEE their progression is such an amazing sense of "it all paid off". Watching your kids progress and and seeing they have such a love for riding is so awesome. Good job on raising some great kids and GOOD JOB MILO! Keep up the good work and stay focused on the fun!
Thanks, glad you're enjoying it as well, it's been a fun ride so far! It is really cool to see him ride this fast with confidence and style, definitely a proud dad!
Thanks for sharing with us Eric. I know the proud Dad moments you had during Milo's race. I had them too! So freakin' happy for you Milo. The time and effort put in is totally paying off. Keep it up, more podiums are in your future.
Glad you enjoyed it! I know someday soon he'll be older and move out, I know I'll miss him a ton too. Hope you get to Australia to visit him, it's a great place to go!
This is my favorite channel on RUclips and this is my new favorite video. I love Milo's quiet confidence and sweet demeanor - not to mention all the sendy steez. I have a son his same age who has also just started racing and this is really inspiring for the both of us. 💚
Congrats on the win Milo. Been a couple of years since I have been unable to hang on to the back wheel of my sons bike when we are riding together. Milo is very fast and skilled. He does have a top shelf ride coach for a dad 🤘.
Man o man! Milo is soooo incredible. So encouraging for my 13 year old daughter NICA racer to see such results of all the hard work...all I can say is WOW! CONGRATS MILO!
@Porter MTB I agree! Cool to see the sport growing so much and like you said, more and more opportunities! Y'all keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Congratulations Milo! This was such a great video and some killer trails! Looks like a great group of people to ride with! Looking forward to more of the enduro!
So awesome! Go milo! Been watching the Chanel since before Covid, it’s great watching your boys grow in their biking! I can only hope and encourage my own to fallow in my footsteps as well!
He looks Great Congratulations! Nothing like riding with your son like this . I have done it for years.. it's like you're in rhythm when they get older..so much fun
I watch Jackson Goldstone and think “I remember watching him ride when he was a little kid!” We’re all going to be saying that about Milo. Absolutely slayed it!!
Wow what a fantastic video mate really enjoyed watching it. I’m going to have to have a go at this type of Racing. Congratulations Miles on coming 1 st
this is so cool to see since I live in Anacortes which is about 45 minutes away from Bellingham so this is honestly so cool to see from my favorite mtb yt channel!
That was so cool guys! Congrats Milo, it's been great to see you guys growing up and progressing. I love riding with my son too. He is starting to outpace me now. LOL! We just got up to Galbraith this summer and love those trails. Didn't recognize that last trail though. Looks tons of fun!
The last trail is called Dad Bod, it was definitely our favorite, like a super rough physical pumptrack, not an easy trail but really fun. That's awesome you're riding with your son too, they get good quick when you put the time in!
I've also found that 12 years is the right age to let them take the next step into independence - you soon find out if you've done a good job! Thank you for a great video - I'll be sharing this with my son tonight :)
We met you at the 2023 NW Tune Up. This might be what Niko needs to see to jump into an enduro. He loves the DH though and not a huge fan of climbing! Nice job Milo!
What's up! It was great to meet you! Definitely a lot of climbing, but I enjoy that part of it too. Milo made so many friends since you spend time with other racers talking on the climbs, it's really great for getting to know people and having fun together.
Trails look super fun and Milo read them well, congrats on the win. Despite this not being the usual way it goes, running it basically blind, I think that it's a format that needs to be encouraged, really does help those with pure skill shine. Can't wait until Owen's old enough to enter some of these, I'm betting that unlike with Milo, you'll still be a bit worried about what he'll do once he's "on the clock" 😆
The trails were super fun, and I agree on blind racing, I absolutely love the first time down a trail seeing how fast I can go and hold it together, would be fun do race something like that. Haha Owen is definitely a little more loose, you might be right!
If y’all ever want to come up to north Idaho, Silver Mountain bike park has a lot of fun trails and the longest gondola ride in the USA. If you decide to it would be awesome to ride together!
@@PorterMTB And I am 15 years old just so ya know, I started riding last year in July and don’t get out mountain biking a ton so I haven’t tackled any hard blues or blacks yet
Pretty soon-like VERY SOON, you’ll know what it’s like to not keep up with your son
Seth!
Seth you and Eric are by far my favourite RUclipsrs o watch ur vids at least 10 times every day
Thx for ur epic content and hard work 😀😀😀
Haha yeah I think you're right, he's coming for me! Nothing would make me more proud than to get smoked on a trail by my son, I give it another year or two...
I was thinking the same thing! Great riding.
I love berm peak and porter MTB
Milo and Owen are both going to grow up to be amazing people, great parenting Eric 👍👍
I hope so, just doing the best I can!
Milo's riding seems so effortless. The way he picks up speed is amazing. Dad is having to push harder just to keep up.
I agree, it must be all the time on the pumptrack and the hardtail, he's great at pumping, finding good lines, and staying smooth, it's really good to see!

I agree Alex, so smooth and I love the joy he seems to have just thinking about racing again!
We need to have more videos with Milo🎉🎉 Keep up the great work Porter!
Agree, he is inspiring me to keep on practicing
No problem there, we'll keep making fun vids with the crew!
I'm 100% sure that kid is faster than me. Awesome job, Milo, awesome parenting, Eric
He is ripping, it's pretty wild! Thanks!

Such great parenting to keep the kids motivated to improve safely.
Congrats Milo!!
Thanks! Yeah it's a tough balance to find for sure, but really fun!
Thanks for sharing with us Eric. I know the proud Dad moments you had during Milo's race. I had them too! So freakin' happy for you Milo. The time and effort put in is totally paying off. Keep it up, more podiums are in your future.
Thanks, that was a really really fun day!!
That was awesome to watch. Milo crushed all of those trails!
Glad you enjoyed, that was a really fun day!
Some of my favorite content on RUclips! So fun watching Eric teach his kids how to progress and seeing their efforts pay off!
Love hearing that! We have a lot of fun together, I'm very lucky!
this... is the absolute definition on father-son time
I'm very lucky, this was a pretty special day!
WOW! Congratulations Milo!! Your future is bright!
Thanks, he's having fun for sure!
That is so amazing. I love how humble he is. Missing my son a lot today who moved to Australia and this vid made me happy. Cheers to you all.
Glad you enjoyed it! I know someday soon he'll be older and move out, I know I'll miss him a ton too. Hope you get to Australia to visit him, it's a great place to go!
@@PorterMTB when my youngest graduated from high school, that is when it really hit me. All I could think of was 'How did this happen.' ;)
This is my favorite channel on RUclips and this is my new favorite video. I love Milo's quiet confidence and sweet demeanor - not to mention all the sendy steez. I have a son his same age who has also just started racing and this is really inspiring for the both of us. 💚
Oh man, that is so cool to hear, really appreciate it! That's cool your son is racing as well, I hope he has fun with it!!
Congrats on the win Milo. Been a couple of years since I have been unable to hang on to the back wheel of my sons bike when we are riding together. Milo is very fast and skilled. He does have a top shelf ride coach for a dad 🤘.
Thanks! Yeah I've heard it happens fast with the kids, it's fun to see the progression!
Congratulations Milo!!!! So awesome to watch father & son shredding!
Thanks, that was a really fun day!
Wow!! Well done Milo! So awesome to see the progression as I've been following you guys. Good stuff and thanx for sharing!
Thanks!! Crazy how much they progressed over the years!
Wow! 1st Enduro for Milo and top of the podium. That's amazing! Looks like a great time with your son.
Thanks! It was a really fun day for sure!
good job on the first race milo, the trails look amazing!!!!
He says thanks, the trails were so fun!!
It's so cool to see you finally let him just relax and ride to his best abilities. I wish my dad would take me to places and ride with me.
It's fun to see him push himself and ride to his ability level!
Great video! You are a great dad. Was very cool to watch how supportive you are with your son.
Thank you! It's really fun to support him as he grows up!
Man o man! Milo is soooo incredible. So encouraging for my 13 year old daughter NICA racer to see such results of all the hard work...all I can say is WOW! CONGRATS MILO!
Thanks!! Milo loved racing NICA this fall as well, it's so good to have all these opportunities for the kids now!
@Porter MTB I agree! Cool to see the sport growing so much and like you said, more and more opportunities! Y'all keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Congratulations Milo! This was such a great video and some killer trails! Looks like a great group of people to ride with! Looking forward to more of the enduro!
So awesome! Go milo! Been watching the Chanel since before Covid, it’s great watching your boys grow in their biking! I can only hope and encourage my own to fallow in my footsteps as well!
That's awesome, glad you've been along for the ride and enjoying it! It's hard to believe how much they've grown up in that time!
He looks Great Congratulations! Nothing like riding with your son like this . I have done it for years.. it's like you're in rhythm when they get older..so much fun
Love it man! All that hard work he puts in and comes out on top!
Yeah it's always good seeing hard work pay off!

Awesome! My 5 kids are mostly grown up, man i wish you were "mentor" for calm and positivity!
Thanks! It's definitely cool to be able to teach Milo about controlling your mindset to help you be successful and have fun!
Congrats and well done,Milo! Good job too,Eric! He'll be dropping you soon!
Thanks! Haha he's definitely trying to, we'll see how long it takes, I'll be proud when he does!
Congrats, Milo! That was awesome!
Thanks, he had a blast!

Love these videos! And yesss milo!!
Thanks!!
Great job, milo! You are shreddddddding it!
He says thanks!!!
I watch Jackson Goldstone and think “I remember watching him ride when he was a little kid!” We’re all going to be saying that about Milo. Absolutely slayed it!!
It's crazy, I was thinking the other day about watching Jackson on the push bike years ago and seeing him win everything now, pretty cool.
Congratulations! Continued success to Milo.
Thanks!!
You are the man, Milo! Mega Congrats!
Thanks!!
He killed it! we definitely need more trails like that in UT
Yes we do, those trails are so fun!
Man!! Love this video. I hope to do something special like that with my boys!
Thanks! I'm sure you will, just support what they like to do and create fun experiences around the things you like to do!
Congrats Milo! That was SICK!
He says thanks!
Awesome! Congrats Milo
Thanks!
That’s awesome! Milo is super fast.
I can't believe how fast he's getting!
Wow what a fantastic video mate really enjoyed watching it. I’m going to have to have a go at this type of Racing. Congratulations Miles on coming 1 st
Thanks!! You should definitely try it, really fun format!
So cool! Tough to say who had more fun dad or Milo😎 #proudpops
Haha exactly, we'll call it a tie. Definitely very proud!
Rad!!!!! First race, first win!
Pretty fun day!

Great job Milo! You inspire all of us🤘🏽
Thanks, that's awesome to hear!

Thanks! It's so much fun supporting him and watching him have fun with it!
Late to the party, but congrats to Milo! Super smooth riding. Love the smiles of the kiddos at the event and the positvity of the Porter videos.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! This was definitely a really fun event for everyone!
Way to go, Milo!!! 👏👏👏👏
He said thanks!!! He's got Point To Point on the radar... maybe in a couple years haha!
Just did my first enduro race and now I have a whole new level of respect for how fast Milo was going 🤯
That's awesome, hope you had fun! Milo was definitely ripping!
So cool to be able to ride with the kids or your dad riding with you...Subscribed
It's so much fun getting to share this with them. Lots more fun vids on the way!
That was so cool guys! Congrats Milo, it's been great to see you guys growing up and progressing. I love riding with my son too. He is starting to outpace me now. LOL! We just got up to Galbraith this summer and love those trails. Didn't recognize that last trail though. Looks tons of fun!

Heck yea Milo, great job🤙
He says thanks!!!
So dope!!! Lil homie was sending it 🔥🚀 Great job everyone 💪🏾
Thanks!
Nice work Milo! Let’s get a good enduro series in Utah!!
We definitely need to race some enduro here in Utah!
Nice trail and ur son so good rider.
Really fun trail, yes I'm very proud of Milo he's shredding!
Can't say I'm surprised Milo took the win on his first ever enduro race!! He and Owen have mtb legend pedigree
Haha thanks, we were definitely surprised!
that was amazing keep up the content and Milo did amazing
Thanks! He had so much fun, he seems to love racing!
Awesome job Milo congrats
He says thanks!
Congratulations👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Awesome!
Thanks!
So great, nice work guys.
Thanks!!! Have a great day!
Proud dad moment right there...
Definitely, it was so cool to see!
Milo did awesome , he's a rocket
Yeah he was pinned!
I've also found that 12 years is the right age to let them take the next step into independence - you soon find out if you've done a good job!
Thank you for a great video - I'll be sharing this with my son tonight :)
Good to hear, it feels like a natural time for it, it's a good feeling! He's enjoying the responsibility as well.
@@PorterMTB It's so fulfilling when they step up!
A new star is born.
Who knows... but he is having a blast with it which is awesome to see!
Its good to see other young riders with glasses
Totally!! He's been trying out contacts recently as well to see what works best for riding.
Cool change of pace - fast riding and not popping off every lip
Yeah full send in this one!! He loves going fast, it's cool to see!
Great Video Congrats Milo
Thanks!!
Puke hill still gives me nightmares. 😂. Nice work Milo. I see big things in your future.
Hahaha you're not the only one, puke hill is hard!
Awesome job Milo!
Thanks!
Congratulations milo
He says thanks!!
We met you at the 2023 NW Tune Up. This might be what Niko needs to see to jump into an enduro. He loves the DH though and not a huge fan of climbing! Nice job Milo!
What's up! It was great to meet you! Definitely a lot of climbing, but I enjoy that part of it too. Milo made so many friends since you spend time with other racers talking on the climbs, it's really great for getting to know people and having fun together.
wow nice race. i was wondering, how does your guys suspension do on those trails, do you bottom out allot?
The suspension does really well, we both have Fox 36 forks and Fox DPX2 rear shocks, you can tune them for any terrain.
@@PorterMTB ok good to know because i love trail bikes but my friends all love enduro, and they try to get me away from trail bikes👍
That's awesome the kids are riding skills are showing. My boy is loving racing with his team at high school. Problem is he out rides me lol
Haha they get fast before you expect it! That's awesome he's enjoying the races, Milo loves the NICA xc racing too!
gotta get him to do the full course next time, he killed it!
Yeah I think that's in the cards for next year!
Looks like it's time to get Milo some prescription goggles:) Well done Milo!! Beating the local kids in not easy.
Yeah he couldn't believe he won, the local Bellingham kids are so good!! Definitely looking into contact lenses or prescription riding glasses.
Way to go
Thanks!
im in NICA and was thinking about doing enduro racing and this might of just sealed the deal for me
That's awesome, you should! Milo races NICA too and loves it, but enduro is really fun!
Good Job Milo!

If you like those kind of trails you would love the ones in Ireland
I would love to go to Ireland, I rode Scotland and absolutely loved it!
I want to be a mountain biker like you milo and Owen
I hope you can get a MTB and start riding! My first mountain bike was a $100 bike from Kmart, you don't need a super expensive one to have fun!
@@PorterMTB thank you
I love mountain biking you’re my favourite RUclipsr
If y’all ever want to come up to north Idaho, Silver Mountain bike park has a lot of fun trails and the longest gondola ride in the USA. If you decide to it would be awesome to ride together!
I've heard it's really fun, would love to come check it out!
I would love to have you! Maybe next summer 👀
@@PorterMTB And I am 15 years old just so ya know, I started riding last year in July and don’t get out mountain biking a ton so I haven’t tackled any hard blues or blacks yet
