Lifelong BMX Rider tries mountain bike at Whistler
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2018
- This short film premiered in front of a live audience at Crankworx 2018, and was funded by Diamondback Bicycles and Box Components. It was for a film competition called Dirt Diaries, in which it won third place. The actual name of the film is "A Bigger Swing Set".
The rules were that the film must be 6 minutes or less, and feature Whistler Blackcomb and/or Whistler Valley.
The film is centered around my childhood friend, Scott, who is still a BMXer. He has never touched a mountain bike! I knew that the best way to get him hooked would be to introduce him to downhill, since jump trails would be so familiar to him.
Someday I'll take Scott out for a proper climb, and show him about suffering. Hopefully he still loves mountain biking after that! In filming this Dirt Diaries entry, I certainly think we made Scott a believer.

I changed the thumbnail and title for this video so prospective viewers know what it's about. The old title and thumb weren't that enticing. Just letting you guys know in case you thought you found a new video!
It worked, looks great
I honestly thought i had found like a behind the scenes or something it bloody well worked
Would love to see a follow up with Scott 6 months or a year out. Great video!
Dang it Seth u got my hopes up 😂
I was wondering
"I've never been in the mountain before" ... Hours later, clears A-line by 6 ft. Impressive!
BMX transfers ultra easily to MTB. Everything you learn on a BMX just becomes natural on a bigger set. Couldnt ride my MTB for a month because of weather and othet thingies, but rode a bmx on AN indoor pumptrack quite often. Suddenly able to hit jumps twice as big as big with no fear
😂😂😂😂moaning at first then fookin lovin it lol 😝
Pan_Czerwony i would say bmx transfers easy to the dirt jumps of mtn binking not necessarily the sungle track and rough trails
Of all the aspects of mountain biking, simple jumps like that would transfer the easiest from BMX
He did lots of dirt jumps on BMX
As a BMX guy I can now say I finally get it. I kind of understand mountain biking more than ever because of his explaining. Blowing down some trails always looked fun but I thought to myself I can have more fun on my BMX in a skatepark. Thanks Seth and especially Scott. I might get a mountain bike.
I just started from BMX to MTB. It's pretty wild. The whole bunny hop getting weird on full suspension is true too. Fun stuff flying through the hill side bouncing across boulders. Police not arresting you for grinding rails. Good stuff.
It’s absolutely worth it man. So much more variety. I looooove bmx. It’s my thing. But my rocky mountain slayer is definitely a big bmx bike that likes to party in the woods. There’s a lot to learn about mtbs but its really rewarding
The only harsh part is when you have to climb the Mountain your self :P
metr1xx ... Well said. I was a BMX guy, but a couple years ago I started MTB. Downhill is honestly the most fun I've ever had doing anything. That includes skiing, surfing, and riding dirt bikes. I really don't know what it is, but it's awesome
Minecraft NintendoBest ... What's the climbing of mountains you speak of? Don't they all come with chair lifts?!!
"The seat is a little too high"
I feel you..
Nice cockatiel pfp
Thanks 👍🏻
Until you have to climb a hill sitting down...."This is perfect height" =)
He is also
I had to cut my seat post.
"I feel like the seat is too high" 😂
Such a BMXer thing to say. I love that the dude is so loyal he thinks he is betraying his favourite kind of bike! Such a good video. Got any other friends from back in the day you could make a video about? I could watch this format all day.
Well from the looks of it he was probably right, his seatpost was kinda too high ^^
Yeah his seat post was high
@Lyla Axiom roll up then roll off ...it's the way to go ;)
scooby doo 🌲 🌲 🌲;)
The seats are way too high. I've grown up on BMX, and rriding a bike with a very tall seat is like standing with a cushionup ny ass. It also makes the habdlebars feel lower. And I've ridden a bike with low handle bars. Itls hard to control. It's very limiting have something between your thighs than between just your shins
I have my fair share of jumping a tiny ramp with a high seat. My fcn ass slams into the seat
I never sit down and peddle. Only time I sit is when cruising
Breaks are for going slower 😂
Noah Stoll they just slow me down too
“Breaks”
@@mtbninja897 I use it for déjà vu purposes
Slowing down before a sharp turn is sometimes crucial.
@@user-vs7sb9wg2r that is for scrubs
Sike it's very important to slow down or you can hike down on an ambulance
“ I realize why the suspensions there” hahah! 🤣

NormanBalls I gotta be honest, your first reply was not really needed but neither really was the comment. Although yeah I dunno what that other guy was on about.

"I didn't get a single look."
Yes, mate. No one looks at you wrong or mocks you on a mountain bike because everyone understands that when you're basically competing with mother nature's crazy creativity, ANYBODY can get it. Nothing is smoothened out or structured here.
Well said, even if you're experienced you'll crash when you least expect it.
Also maybe because hes hitting 30 foot jumps hes obviously not a newbie.
@@oliverhart8915 Yup! Well said. I bought it bad back in April on a downhill fire road segment that I have the KOM on and know like the back of my hand. Crashed at roughly 35 mph. No warning. Collarbone and two ribs. Crazy. Gives you a new respect for just how hard the ground hits back.
The MTB community is super inclusive. I'm 57 and no-one gives me a second look either at the trail centres or out on the natural trails ... except obviously to say hi !
Apart from the park he rode... Way to smooth for my liking
He rides MTB first time better than me After 2 years 😂
Niggo same
So many old bmx riders have become mtb champs ,check it out
Me after 4 🤣
BMX transfers so easily to mtb
Same
Yeah I had to trade the skate park for the state park
Bars.
This needs more likes...
Seth: How many times have you riden an MTB
Scott: Never
In Seths Head: Straight to Whistler
Love the vid matr keep it up
Wall Paper lol 😂
Whistler is actually the best place to learn mtb imo
Once you at Whistler you just learn
Love to comment matr lol
First trail he was on was on the north shore. Mt fromme
gotta love that guy behind them casing the jumps
He cased the hell out of the 2 big jumps and he said scott was going over..... i think he is just jealous of scott hqhahahaa
I never laughed so hard when Seth told him to bunny hop in the p lot. 2 mins later into the vid this man is pressing into some lips on some heavy jumps!! There are mtb riders I have watched for years on RUclips that have been riding for ever and are not even close to being able to feel that comfortable in the air yet. MAD TALENT!!
Just the thought of tearing down A-Line at Whistler gives me the cold chills and a mild panic attack. Scott definitely has serious nads and the skills to back it up. 👍👍
Killer work as always dude! This turned out so good.
that bar wiggle at 3:50 is a trademark scott smith maneuver. thats how you know he's feeling it!!
Are ya *feelin' it* now, Mr. Krabs?
Daniel f that’s what put the biggest smile on my face. I knew then he was digging it!
That was Seth XDDDDDDDDD
@@viktorace there isnt an mrp carterag on his bike though
@@viktorace it wasn't
Why would you wait so long to introduce Scott? Clearly we need more Scott.
Scott needs a Scott. A voltage or Gambler or a genius. I dunno
@@j_manoffical6825 AHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHHAHHAHHHAHAHHAHAH
Like if he starts pulling crazy tricks he can be a Genius Scott on a Scott Genius
agreed
Seth I've watched every single one of your videos, and I loved this one. I'm getting up there too. I'm 39 and my riding partner is my 14 year old son. When your buddy talked about having to prove yourself at BMX in front of the other guys, but not having to with mountain biking, I really related to that cause I used to BMX too. Really Seth, and I don't comment much, great job with this one.
Same here mike..
Woah. This is different. I love it!
Yeah exactly it's different and out of the nowhere dude you rock
The prodution quality is so good on this one! Loved it! 😮
i have a question for anyone who can answer. i recently got a raleigh tokul 2 and am just starting to do more and more biking. i went to a dh park with this bike and shortly after the brakes broke. should i start saving for a new bike due to my icreasing riding ability, or just kit it out with better parts? edit: im 12 btw so will grow out of it in a year and a half-also starting to do jumps
I would suggest to get a new bike and sell the Raleigh. Craigslist is a good place to look. I got a great deal on my 2012 Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon off Craigslist. $1200.
im still a beginner though and only just starting to jump/ride fast. when i sell my tokul i might either get a higher end hardtail or lower end/older full suss
A big narrative like this in a small time allotment is always a challenge. You took us all on an awesome journey from your youth to present day, and from Austin TX to Whistler BC. Well done!
As a lifelong BMX'er, I can identify with Scott. Scott needs to know that he can love both BMX and mountain biking. It's always good to ride more than one aspect of biking.
there is the middle ground in slopestyle and dirtjumping.
This is so Awesome!!! And that is why mountain biking is an amazing sport! Welcoming to everyone! Yewwwww!!!!!!!
Yes, another downhill bike park convert!
Third place!
Seth's Bike Hacks great job!
Seth's Bike Hacks can I get an bike from you please....😞😞
Nice video Seth!
Good job
Smzahidul Islam I'll tell you now. Asking him won't get you a bike. And now you've solidified yourself in the group of people that won't get a free bike. You need to prove yourself and maybe somebody will give you something in return but begging for multi thousand dollar pieces of equipment won't take you anywhere but down the list.
This is one of our favorite videos that you've put out. Such good storytelling and truly captures the experience and joy that many of us have had crossing over to different riding styles. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a episode 2 with Scott.
Henson you are corrrect
Scott, Thanks for being open-minded and for your very honest and complimentary assessment. Loved the video. Your honesty makes me want to visit a BMX park.
It’s amazing to see how he definitely needs a bit of training on the tougher parts of the trails, but can still send the big jumps like they’re nothing. Really shows how the skills translate from one sport to another.
Great idea taking someone who never rode. Honest take: it started out slow, roped me in, but ended a little abruptly. Nonetheless, great video Seth. As I watched it I thought to myself this guy needs to do a MTB documentary. I’ve had an idea about a feature length documentary about MTB RUclipsrs. I would expect to see a person with a beginning channel, a few in the middle, and a few with big channels like you and your buddies. Really chronicle the path. I think it would be a perfect project for you with your resources.
That is an awesome idea!
That would be so awesome !!!! I’d like to see something like this in the future too!!
Agreed! This looked like a trailer to a really good documentary. I really wanted to see more.
The last line about feeling guilty for enjoying it got to me. I've been hurt and not able to really ride bmx but I bought my first motorcycle and I've felt the same way about spending all my time on the moto when I normally would be riding the bicycle.
Bikes have given me so much but it feels amazing to learn and enjoy a new hobby.
This felt like some extremely emotional documentary
For some reason i expected this to be two hors long and now i'm sad.
Hands down one of your best videos
Hello Seth I would just like to comment this before the comments will be flooded and I just wanted to say that you've really helped me over the past year, my dad abandoned me last year and I haven't seen him since so watching your videos really helps to cope
The one thing I've realized since my start of mountain biking is that everyone is friendly and willing to help you learn not a bad apple out there yet
the production value on this is still insane
First off, Seth, that feeble bar was a banger. Second, as someone who transitioned from bmx to mtb as well, it’s really interesting to see how it goes for other riders. Amazing stuff.
As one person out of your humongous audience, I give you full permission to use this style of cinematography for your future and upcoming videos. I know that in your Park Tool interview you mentioned wanting to get in to short films, and I think that is a perfect path for you. Don’t get me wrong, I still love your hacks videos (by the way, it’s been a while since you’ve done one of those), but seeing this film made me look forward to what has to come to your channel.
You’re a huge inspiration Seth, keep it up!
Never be afraid to love more than one thing, even if they seem in opposition to each other. I’m a computer nerd who loves sport. Be a cage fighter who likes ballroom dancing. Listen to rap and classical music if you want to. Whatever makes you happy 🙂
Mububban23 as long as you don’t take up golf. That’s when you know your time is almost up 😜
That honestly could be a famous quote.
Hey I'm a computer nerd who loves MTB too
@@celestialsss Another one here! For more than 20 years now!
You got the right idea. I'm a Gamer for over thirty, a Skater for over twenty and a Martial Artist for over ten years. Two months ago I accidentally started Mountain Biking and did my first Bunny Hop two weeks ago. You have only one life so you better put those few years to good use.
I raced Bmx for about 22 years almost my entire life, just moved from SoCal up to OR and decided to get a hard tail and hit the mountain, I can’t believe what I was missing out on all these years, I’m hooked. Freaking phenomenal that his first mountain experience was on that sweet ass bike on the most amazing trails in the world, you made this dude’s whole entire universe that is great!
It was great to be there in person tonight. Well done man 🤘🏼
yo does anyone know what date joyride is
Ryan West Saturday the 18th
thx man
Heh the Loam Ranger, deadly name!
hes got a pretty nice channel u should check it out bro
Man, I rarely comment on a video, but, damn, this one really did a number on me. Keep up the phenomenal work, Seth! Cheers from Bulgaria!
4:28
Planes: am I a joke to you?
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahhahahahaha
Hahaha 😝
Such a rad edit Seth!! It’s cool to see you share and give back what was given to you....the stoke of mountain biking. Scott is a ripper and he should know he isn’t betraying BMX, but honoring the bike itself by taking his skill set to the trails!
He went from a beginner jumper to jumping and clearing Aline in one day HOW.
Owen Connell bmx background fella, I’d say a lot of pro bmx riders would do the same thing with a little practice on the mountain bike
It's not like he was a beginner bike rider - he's used to being in the air on 2 wheels
Because jumping mountain bikes feels a lot more relaxed than jumping bmx bikes, between suspension and a nice stable feeling in air compared to twitchy bmx bikes its just chill
most mountain bikers suck! its insane how mountain bikers are very ignorant and dont know anything while most bmx riders know everything
Agustín Echevarría wtf are you on
Dang it’s 1:02 am the night before school starts but Seth’s posted a video
Terence Addrison haha seths vid is more important I like that
No school in my country all the Middle and primary teachers are striking expect for at my school because its privately owned
Lol it's August? Why is school starting so early for you??
Scottish schools have been off for 7 weeks go back either Wednesday , Thursday or next Monday
Your fucked dude
Scott was so well spoken and professional, interview was so informative! I loved this video
Thanks for the encouragement, now I am starting my own mountain biking hobby.
Bmx is my first love. It has molded me, shaped me and helped me to become who i am today. I moved away from the east coast to live in the pnw, and the scene isn’t here for bmx. It isn’t. I still ride. But recently i’ve bought a big travel trail bike and started riding that like i stole it. It made me feel like i was 15 again learning stuff at the skatepark. I too struggled with using brakes and figuring it out from bmx but boy once you do, it’s like night and day.
Congrats on 3rd place! You can really tell this was a labor of love and big props to Scott for trusting you to show him a whole new style of riding in a totally different country. Seeing him fly off of those jumps was incredibly inspiring. Thanks Seth
He nailed one point perfectly. I've recently start mtb myself from an absolute beginner and have yet to experience any form of mocking or condescension based on lack of ability in the year I've been riding. Any mtb'er I've ever met has always been the nicest person.
This is one of the best biking videos of the year, from any channel, bar none.
Congrats on the podium man!!! Love to see more people get into the sport. Loved the video!
I've only been Mountain biking for about 4-5 months but I used to BMX 20 years ago as a child here in Austin,TX(raced @Capital City BMX) and those BMX skills have really helped me advance on MTB even tho it was forever ago🤙
Seth, I absolutely loved this video. It's so complete. The background story, the challenge, and the triumph. 10 stars out of 10.
Changing the title was a good move. I just watched it for the first time and I've been subscribed to your channel for years.
Spent my teenage years riding bmx every spare minute I had and I thought nothing in the world could replace it. about 10 year after I stopped riding any bike in general, I picked up a mountain bike following a friend and it completely changed my view on riding bikes. Always used to think if you aren't doing tricks or riding walls or grinding rails that's not fun or exciting. Now I am so humbled and see myself so little and weak against the mother nature.
This was an exceptionally made, a truly wonderful addition to the internet, thank you Seth, for inspiring old and young to go out and experience new things. Keep shreddin* and I'm hoping to head to Whistler before summers end so I should have a video come out on that, who knows. Have a great day.
Seth, this video is absolutely amazing, I love that you were able to introduce him into the other side of bikes!
What a great video. This gave me the chills (as someone who came from BMX and got into MTB 15+ years after I'd stopped riding). So awesome to see this through the eyes of a pro and watching him get confidence to boost on a mountain bike. Great video Seth and Scott.
This was awesome. Your channel is the best Mountain Bike channel on You Tube. I find myself captivated by all your content because it is so diversified. I always look forward to watching what's next. But this was extraordinary! Fantastic job Seth!
Looking forward to finding out if Scott will continue riding Mtb.
You nailed it! I would like to see more videos of this format on the channel.
LOVE the different style to this Seth!
I could watch this a hundred times and still not get bored. so good! love the new format (even if you don't use it again)
Great story, great editing, and a great message! I think this is my favorite video of yours yet.
This is dope! I come from BMX but I now ( thanks to you ) ride MTB most of the time. I always knew I was going to ride a MTB as grey hairs came in but was reluctant on doing so because of the cheesy outfits and other ( which I now know to be XC ) stuff ( not that there's anything wrong with XC it's just not for me) . Turns out MTB is what you want it to be. Watching your videos along with Alex's , Brian , Phil and Bobos videos has made me realize you can get rad on an MTB .
Im always mind blown when people say they didn't know what you can do on a mtb...
I mean, do you guys not watch the redbull rampage races or pro downhill?
Thete is nothing in two wheels like it!
Someone is hooked! Great story Seth.
I used to race when i was 16-17 years old.. and now that im 40 and recently got back into MTB I feel young again and twice as daring... better shape than ever and really love how much it has opened my eyes and feelings up to everything... Can't believe i waited this long to get going again but so glad i did and so glad to hear someone else enjoying it and really letting the bike take you.
2 years later and i still rewatch this video and still love it
love the different videos keep it going Seth 🤘
Holy crap I remember you guys from the. I was 16 at greenlawn ahaha, Scott looks great glad you guys are doing good and I dig your channel bro!
Really like this. Im getting older and gave up bikes 20 years ago. Im talkin to my LBS about a mtb build now. I see it as good exercise (bad knees) and something i can keep up with easily. Ur channel is one of my ispirations. Thx. From san antonio tx.
This is probably my fav seth video. I've walked in those same shoes and since my first MTB havent looked back, i still hop on a bmxevery now again but MTB is soooooo much more fun and rewarding, knowing you can take on anything and conquer the mountain- Best feeling in the world! I could watch videos like this allllll day long!
Hey Seth this video should be like hour long I could watch this all day man
to the 51 thumbs down.... Go Home your Drunk! That was F*%king Rad.
Headwaters Kayak they are probably golfers or roadies
must b bmxers
Go drunk your home
You’re lol. I feel the same tho
Dude this was actually super touching and an amazing video.
The most amazing feeling in fhe WORLD is when you realize your skill set applies perfectly to something that you never considered. Thank you for bringing us to the mountain, Seth!
Seth your the best youtuber ever and i subbed liked and turned on notifications
“ I would just push into the lips as hard as I can, then I would just yank back.” Lmao
Seth, I believe you have achieved a next level of editing and telling stories. I am fascinated. Congratulations and kudos to Scott.
I grew up with skateboards and lots of friends in the BMX community and this video is spot on to how most of the BMX crowd views MTB. And also showcases how beautiful it is when the two mesh. That dude was smashing those jumps. Natural style. Awesome video man.
Is that Greenport, NY I spotted in the first couple skatepark clips?
"Brakes are for going slower" LOL
Love your videos bro! Just bought my first real mountain bike! Diamondback Overdrive 29er. Such a sick rig! Taking my mountain bike game to the next level. You’ve given me more confidence to go out and do more and more mountain biking! Keep up the good work!
Now that was an awesome video! Loved it. I'm more and more impressed with your love of the hobby and your desire to share it with others. Great job!
Let scott know that there's a ton of awesome MTB trails in ATX! If he hits up "Texas gravity enduro" on Facebook there's a ton of guys that would show him around!
Goddamn, that was great.
Love this short documentary style video!!! Great job I come from bmx and also am getting used to the MTB scene! Great job man
Still wish this was a longer video one of my favs for sure thanks again brother
Its weird seeing your name writen down on people's videos even if it's not you.
XD
Scott Smith wait... it’s not you??? Damn you totally had me too. Haha
Where is mountain biking explained??? That series was great for a beginner like me. You never did get around to basic bike maintenance.
GETREKT he stopped doing it because of commenters:(
GETREKT they made fun of his sister
GETREKT go to REI they have bike maintenance classes for free sometimes
check out the GMBN tech show or park tools they have loads of video on bike maintenance
Aww man thx for the info thats sad😞☹️😞😒🙁☹️😞
Wow! A moving pieces of art and storytelling. beautifully conveying what mountain biking is. Well done.
SETH MAN! Next level bro. I’m 40 and shredding harder than I ever have before. This video was so raw. Thank you Scott for sharing your experience with us and welcome brother! And don’t feel guilty unless you take up golf or some silly shit like that.
If this was my firs experience on a mtb🤔 I would be Danny mac😂
If he's on for jumps on trails, then he should ride a slopestyle bike
Really fun to watch, Seth. Great content. Keep em coming!
Bravo, Seth! Well done. This is a great video/ short.
Bro they took him on A-line right off the bat 🤦🏻
I'm assuming they hit other trails before but had a time limit and cut it out. He's also a very competent jumper so its not too crazy
This might be that latest you’ve posted Seth. I don’t care though, an SBH video is always great.
Brilliantly produced video Seth! And it is so cool to see a BMX master from our age transitioning to mountain biking and loving it! Keep up the great videos!
Great video! Scott described the feelings and excitement perfectly. Very good camera and production values. Great job
You know, I find it interesting, because I kind of felt the same way when I stopped longboarding for biking. I thought, longboarding had been so good to me, and now I like biking much better. Don't get me wrong, I still love skating, but biking just feels right. There's a feeling you get on a bike that you just don't get anywhere else. (the same could be said for skating as well)
But, at the same time, I don't feel like you're betraying anything. You're just doing what you love and what you feel is right. And I don't think it should be done any other way.
0:14 name of music?
So cool I love watching anything with Seth in it. Keep up the good work man!👍🏿
Awesome video Seth, your mate summed up perfectly the feeling we all get from mountain biking. 👍🏻👍🏻
