How is Yuka so chill? She is such an interesting character. I could see her having a leg chopped off and being like, "Oh well, we better get that on ice"
😱 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 👍
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
Awesome riding at Tassie mate. Hope you and Yuka enjoying your stay here in Australia. 🤙🏽 If you ever go back NSW, i’m happy to give you a tour at Wollongong, heaps of best trails here. Yeeeww!
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.
Great video Eric 🤙🏼 …. Getting used to the Aussie lingo 😊 …. I was down at Luke’s trail last weekend. Had a blast … looking fwd for more Aussie videos from you both 🤙🏼
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.
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.
Great video guys thank you so much for showing what derby has to offer 🤘 it was great to meet you both, for anyone wondering they are just as nice and welcoming in person as they are on RUclips, Luke (owner of bark off biking, sold you the chain lube 😂)
I love the Air-ya-garn part. Look at it like this - How are you doing? -> How's it going? -> How ya goin? -> air-ya-garn? Say it with a real lazy Aussie accent and the locals will say hello.
You guys are living the dream of many mtb riders! I live in Australia and haven't ridden tassie trails yet. What an awesome video. Hope you continue to enjoy Aussie land. Ps. Yuka rocks 🤙
I wish I had known you were coming through Canberra, I hope some other locals showed you around? I have been to both Derby and Maydena twice and they are both special places to ride. Those Tasmanian ferns and forest are so beautiful to ride through. I need to go again. And great echidna footage. ;-)
hi bcpov, i am a mtb rider who lives in victoria, i have heard from a couple of mates that you are in bright in vic. you should come check out silvan mtb park in melbourne. i’d be happy to show you around and give you a tour of the trails. it’s a must do in victoria with trails similar to what is in canada. i’d love for you guys to come down and check out this awesome spot
OMG this is awesome. I recently went to Tassie myself to get away from the mainland and did a week of mountain biking. We did everything you did. I ended up crashing on the bay of fires trail and getting whiplash, but still sent derby the next day. Awesome to see you loving Australia
My wife and I from Squamish were bike touring Oz and NZ and got to Derby in November hoping to rent a bike for a day and ride the trails Regrettably the weather was awful and we headed on to St Helens, one of my worst days on a bike. Did get some great riding in NZ Redwoods however. Great video.
Gotta say... havent watched one of your vids in a while and the production has made LEAPS ahead. (not that they were ever bad, lol) Keep up the great videos guys! 💙from Toronto!!!
Awesome video! Super big fan of your channel and I have been watching for almost 4 years now! Really cool to see you guys riding around Australia and I would love to meet you guys there someday!
Hey guys have been following you for year's awesome to see you in Tassie, I live in St Helens if you are keen to catch up and rife the trails here id be happy to show ya.
Thank you Eric. I haven't even watched yet and am laughing my ass off at the oioioioioi joke 😂 Any day I get to watch you two before I go out has 50% more chance to be a great day! ❤️ 🔥😜🍕😀🦅
Ooi yo yo yo yoii really needs to be a t-shirt. 😂❤
I would buy that
Indeed it does
That thing is a hedgehog
Take my money
I have a mighty need!
(she's so adorable lol)
@@tt55k its a echidna
Love the people warning you for the tunnel and looking out for you, and letting you follow them down! Mountain biking people are so friendly!
they're ozzies
They hunt for spare parts.
after the accident 😂😂😂
@@TheMTBRider96 *aussies
How is Yuka so chill? She is such an interesting character. I could see her having a leg chopped off and being like, "Oh well, we better get that on ice"
She could get a job at iHop😂😂
"Oy yoi yoi yoi"
Enneagram 8 😀
Over on her channel she like "oh, I'm getting hypothermia, I'll just eat something".
@@altonb93 and change her name to Eileen. LOL

lots of trails to explore out there
Right? I'm lucky to get out on some local trails about 30 minutes away!!
LOL, Yuka sure got over hear fear after the crash quickly! She's a warrior.
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.
Thanks Jaron 🙂 i think we’re staying on tassie a little longer 🙂
You’re a great story teller man! Inspired to travel.

Nice adventure. So good to see Yuka back to fly'n down the trails after her accident.
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
Great to see you in my home state Eric! I was only riding in Derby yesterday.
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
Epic!!!!!!! Glad to see you guys visiting one of my favourite riding spots!
Such a great showcase of what Australia, Tasmania and Derby has to offer.
Dude so cool to see a big RUclips i have watched for ages come to my home trails on the other side of the world. Well done in Hobart Tas Grav aswell
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.
True, love it there. Great scenery too
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
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 seeing the videos get better and better every time is really cool.
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.
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
Phenomenal video in a spectacular setting. I have Australian family so I need to make a trip down under and make it to Darby!
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 :)

Are ya'll okay? it's been awhile since your last video. praying all is good with you two
That’s what I’ve been worried about to
Her small stature and squeaky voice belies what an absolute badass Yuka really is.
Never thought I'd say it, but now Tazzy is an MTB bucketlist destination. 🔥video
tassie has one of the best trails in the world mate
You won't regret the trip !
Just awesome place. Great capture!
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!
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.
Every time I watch your videos Yuka gets better and better!
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!
Awesome riding at Tassie mate. Hope you and Yuka enjoying your stay here in Australia. 🤙🏽
If you ever go back NSW, i’m happy to give you a tour at Wollongong, heaps of best trails here. Yeeeww!
Brilliant video Eric! So good,especially when it’s -20 in Calgary!
Keep ‘em coming Please!
Awesome video. Really enjoy seeing other parts of the world through your videos. Glad to Yuka back riding. Pedal safe
Wow, now I really want to go mountain biking in Tasmania!
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.
Love Derby. Great town, great trails, something for everyone. Hopefully Maydena bike park is your next video? Nice and steep👍
Great video Eric 🤙🏼 …. Getting used to the Aussie lingo 😊 …. I was down at Luke’s trail last weekend. Had a blast … looking fwd for more Aussie videos from you both 🤙🏼
Great video! I was really rooting for you guys to get the step-up right after the step-down. Next time! Nice job as always.👍😉
The most Aussie thing happen to me while MTB and like others always worry about snakes. But this day, wasn’t a snake.

Great video in a beautiful place! It's cool to see you and Yuka rideing all these places. Thanks for bringing me along thru your videos!!
Great video as usual Eric! When are you guys riding Victoria? My kids and I would love to ride with you both ❤
so sick, glad you made it to australia and rode some of the trails here!
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.
Loving the Australian content. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Sensational vid and so glad you're both loving our island's nature, be it on bike or foot.
Love seeing you in tassie. Great video.
You make us travel to nice places. Thanks you !
Great video guys thank you so much for showing what derby has to offer 🤘 it was great to meet you both, for anyone wondering they are just as nice and welcoming in person as they are on RUclips,

We love BCPOV !
Pretty neat thing you found
Beautiful ride in beautiful place. Liked the video. Thank you!
Thanks
Glen, I just saw this, I'm so sorry I'm slow to reply! Thank you so much for your donation! Again, I can't believe I missed this!
welcome to Tassie!
Awesome. I so hope you hit trails in Canberra on the way through!
You 2 are just a great combination.
That tunnel is one of the coolest features ever.
Also the echidna is so adorable I died, and my ghost haunts the trail still.
16:19 Good luck!
love to see you in australia. we have to constantly be on the look out for kangaroos so we dont hit them haha
They go everywhere i love it
I love the Air-ya-garn part. Look at it like this - How are you doing? -> How's it going? -> How ya goin? -> air-ya-garn? Say it with a real lazy Aussie accent and the locals will say hello.
That step down was so sick! Loved watching you get over that first bit of doubt. I'd love to ride this trail one day.
So cool to find a local to tow you in.
Ive done this trail, so insane
I really liked this one. Was surprised i wasn’t already subscribed. Seen a few of your videos and loved them. Both you guys are always so funny😂
You guys are living the dream of many mtb riders! I live in Australia and haven't ridden tassie trails yet. What an awesome video. Hope you continue to enjoy Aussie land. Ps. Yuka rocks 🤙

I have been to both Derby and Maydena twice and they are both special places to ride. Those Tasmanian ferns and forest are so beautiful to ride through. I need to go again.
And great echidna footage. ;-)
Very nice! If you want to come to NZ I'd be stoked to show you around!
Love this! My home town!!!!
Good to see you got your mojo back Yuka !!!!!!
Che posto fantastico!!!
hi bcpov,

Great video as usual! Please tell me you are both planning on making your way down to Maydena…
Best trails in the country.
OMG this is awesome. I recently went to Tassie myself to get away from the mainland and did a week of mountain biking. We did everything you did. I ended up crashing on the bay of fires trail and getting whiplash, but still sent derby the next day. Awesome to see you loving Australia
Yuka is such a confident beast on the trails like wtf

Cool place. These vids make me want to travel much more.
Come to South Australia. Trail parks like fox creek are great @BCpov
Heh love the contrast of outsider worry vs Yuka's confidence! Good riding!
Such a great video!

Hey guys have been following you for year's awesome to see you in Tassie, I live in St Helens if you are keen to catch up and rife the trails here id be happy to show ya.
Best opening ever!
Amazing place and spot 🤙🏼
The double black runs and features are pretty gnarly, but the real danger lies in the darkness.
That tunnel is pretty curious...
Thanks for the help on that one :)
My gf just started riding mtbs with me last year. Hopefully we'll be hitting the trails like you guys soon!
Long time with no videos - we are missing you mate!
Woooooo Tassie:)
Welcome legends!!!
love the "Top Gear" style intro
If your still in Australia. There is a town called Bright and it’s got some nice bike tracks, we go twice a year.
This looks perfect for me,would love to ride and visit there.
You came to tasssiiieeee. Yeehhhaaa. Sooo glad you came. Pitty you could try out maydena, or could you....
I actually saw him at Maydena the other day, so yes I reckon he will be uploading a video on it 😊
Thank you Eric. I haven't even watched yet and am laughing my ass off at the oioioioioi joke 😂 Any day I get to watch you two before I go out has 50% more chance to be a great day! ❤️ 🔥😜🍕😀🦅
R.I.P. Yuka - Death by spooky tunnel.
Now those are my kind of trails!
