As a father, seeing your kid riding a bike, and for certain, about to crash, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop it from happening, is heartbreaking. The crash my daughter went through, who was hurt and crying at the time (7yr old), definitely felt down about it. But after a few words of encouragement, similar to what happened to Owen with his Dad, she was able to believe in herself, and rode back all the way home. The heart break feeling quickly turned into both a sense of feeling inspired and proud of my seven year old. Great video Eric, your boys are very lucky to have you.

I love how milo was able to recognize when he almost crashed that he was overconfident, found the problem and fixed it Hopefully owen can look back at his crash and remember not to do that again over the videos of been able to tell that owen’s biggest problem is taking both his feet off in riding on his seat, which can cause some pretty sketchy incidents. And your doing a great job parenting by taking your kids on these adventures and showing them great life lessons when I was a little bit younger than I am my parents bought an RV and lived in it for the whole summer and now I’ve been to over half the states in the US and 4 countries, which was one of the coolest things about my life and I love that you’re doing that for your kids
@PorterMTB Жыл бұрын
Yeah Milo is really getting things figured out, it's pretty awesome to see his confidence and abilities progress. Owen as well, I'd agree on his feet, that method worked well for him on the smaller bikes but not as well on the bigger one haha. He's getting it figured out quickly though. We also figured out that Milo has better braking control so he was actually going a bit slower than Owen was able to which ended up being part of why Owen lost control not being able to slow down like Milo. That's really cool your parents did that, I would love to be able to travel nonstop all summer!!
@PorterMTB Жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it, that's awesome your girl is out there shredding, and the crash just ended with some minor scrapes! Gotta give the kids a chance to test themselves and figure things out without pushing too hard, they have plenty of time for that when they get older. Thanks for watching!

For those of you thinking of visiting, check out their chocolate factory. The tour is super interesting and the attached restaurant has delicious food. The ginger beer is delicious but stronger than you'd think so be careful! We also enjoyed an amazing passion fruit pizza at Sisakuna Lodge. Sounds crazy, but trust me, it works. The lodge looked awesome and the owner let us peek into one of the cabins. We wish we had stayed there as our accomodations there were less than ideal.

Another amazing update and section of your trip, 19k feet altitude cannot be easy on you at all, surprised I didn't see/hear more weasing/sucking for breath 😆Your kids will definitely remember this trip the rest of their lives, what a great family adventure, great to show kids the world outside of a big, modern country and how other peoples live. There's nothing that hurts worse than when you hurt your pride and I think that's what Owen did, that's why he was so upset, not because anything hurt - he's at the stage/age now I think where he's progressed so fast he thinks he's got it all and to be harshly reminded that he's still got stuff to learn bites hard, especially on kids.

Nice job. It's a challenge for me to go out climbing or MTBing with my kids. I see them managing risk as an important part of their childhood, but they don't realize that I'm ALSO learning to manage risk by taking them. What will I let them do? What will I tell them to hold off on? I'm always scared for them when we go out, but I never let them know. It takes all of my effort as a parent to resist wrapping them in bubble wrap and sticking to green rated trails.

Never fun watching your kid crash. Still feels the same when they are adults. Glad he was ok.

That's awesome, best way is to just get started and try to make each video better than the one before. Check out my old videos, you'll see how much better I've gotten just by doing it. You got this!
