i like how when yuka crash, theres no injury but when he crashes, boom, a fracture or a broken bone

that scenery is insane

You're a seriously competent rider, Eric. I don't know what to suggest to get over your hesitation, but it really looks like that's at least part of the problem here.

That mountain near Burns Lake is the first and only mountain I’ve ever biked down. Even though I crashed (I don’t think it was a beginner level trail), it honestly was great fun. Here’s to hoping I’ll get to go there again some day.

Was awesome to meet you last night at the work bee. We are incredibly lucky to have this gem out our front door.

I wish i had something like that but the nearest developed trail system is 4 hours away. Also get well soon!

I grew up in Burns Lake before the trail network was built and back then we used to ride all horse trails in the area. The next time you are in town and if youre up for some fun and fast single track, hit up some of the local guys and they will be more than happy to show you some of these old classics. Now I live in Victoria and I ride the Heartland trail network. Thanks for the great review on my quirky little town!

Yeah!!! Burns Lake is where it's at...have family there and have been riding there a few times!

I recently did my first real mountain biking at highland mountain park u went their last year and we rented bikes and I am glad to say that I loved it and I hope to do more soon just gotta heal from a crash lol!

Wow amazing place to mtb! Thank you for your videos! Always gets me excited to go out and enjoy mtb! I love how you tell a narrative, your aerial shots, history and fun facts about the places you and your wife visit. Keeps me coming back for more! Quality for sure

When pigs fly is my favourite northern trail. Pigasus is lots of fun, if you like switchbacks, tons at the top. I haven’t worked up the courage for full boar, and been waiting for Hogzilla to open, watching construction for two years.

Wow, I love it when such an accomplishing trail comes from a small town! Best part, you can dirbike there too! My dream! Keep it up dude

I’ve never been mountain biking but I can’t stop watching videos about it

U guys should really go ride at Valemount, it’s filled with single track and machine built jump trails one of them being Moby Dick you guys would love it there

Looks so incredible - that scenery is unreal. Mmm - one for my bucket list for sure

Just went to Prince George and Burns Lake for biking in August 2020. Camped at Cager Lake Campground which the sites were surrounded by mtb trails. Man, it was even camping by donation and lots of spots available. The best mtb trip ever! Thanks for showing use some super fun&interesting trails like Waterloo, will try it for sure next time!

That's awesome you came to burns I wish I got to meet you but I met your friends antione and Isabelle

Nice work Burns Lake.

Track nya mantap sekali... enak liat nya juga. Wallride nya amazing pisan

Reach out to TORCA if you're coming to Terrace and I'm sure they'll be happy to show you around our been of the woods!! Love riding Burns Lake too!

Great to see you back out on the road. Excited to see the videos to come

I've only 1 rule to myself when going downhill. Lock the rear wheel as much as you want, you may get a flat at worst. *But never lock the front wheel*

It was supper cool to meet you on the trails yesterday!

Welcome back. (I know you did the Stone Starlet vid a couple weeks ago.) Your commentary while riding various trails separates you from the pack. Glad to see this riding video.

took a gnarly spill on a local trail today, bashed my shoulder pretty good arms a little sore to say the least, oh and i winded my self to the point of getting the wheezes plus i was alone so it made it even scarier. practicing for my first xc race next year and i'm glad this happened sooner than later. but im hoping its not a serious injury gonna go to the doctor tomorrow,

So beautiful!!

Outstanding Eric, you've have truly captured the Heroes Journey in this story.. on a few levels. Nice!

Nice biking

yo super nice . At first, i did not watch your full video. Now only i a going to start watching . waited for long and i thaught today the video will release , and that happen.. Love from India..

I want to watch this so bad right now but I’m in school. Golden content.👏

Excellent cinematography as always. You probably have the best film making on KZfaq. It's clear that you put a lot of work into your videos.

Love to see you guys progress in skill!

Glad to see you doing well n feeling much better awesome footage 👌

I’ve been watching your channel now for a while and just got my first full suspension bike today. A trek fuel ex 5 I’m only 15 so I might grow out of it soon but still excited to start trying out some more advanced trails!!

Wow, had no idea Burns Lake was so nice and with such good trails. Thanks Eric for putting it on the map for me. Excellent video!

Good to see you back on the bike. That place looks amazing!

I absolutely love you and your content your an inspiration to me

Lol 😂 This exactly how I fell too!! It’s do to using the front brake and leaning forward at the same time.

Looks awesome

Gotta get there sometime! Keep enjoying the trails guys- hope to be on some soon, after our 6th lockdown in Melbourne!

4:24 that was partially made by backyard trail building think. It might be just a similar build.

5:24 You didn't need to personally attack me and my friends Jesus we put so many hours into that jump line!

This is the sound of confidence: 4:00

Yay more traveling and shredding! Great video!

Time to consider working out-lifting weights can help with skeletal protection as well as give you more ability to maneuver your bike (or jump off of it) exactly how you'd need to in any situation. Like others have said, get some stout elbow/forearm pads that'll allow you to avoid having your hands absorb the initial shock of the fall

My God...That looks awesome!!!

Wow! I was in burns lake about 2 weeks ago. Hogzilla and full boar are sweet. Wish I ran into you up there!

those trails are super cool

2:22 OK but that was a niice transition

Love your channel, keep up the great work

Eric, get an XC bike with 100mm travel (NO FULL-SUSPENSION ONLY HARDTAIL) and put the seat as high as you can, no dropper post, road tires, and then put pad brakes that won't slow you down at all. Then you'll learn some stuff about not over-braking. Thank me in hospital! (and get road bike handle bars)

i dont even mountain bike but damn you make it really fun! keep it up.

I’m glad you’re back!

Have you considered riding a hard tail. Practice the fundamentals on a hard tail, it will make you more disciplined. Swap your parts with the Banshee Paradox V3, I hear that frame is a beauty. Keep up the great work, you and Yuka are living the dream.

I did something very similar to this last night, but the only consequence was some mud and smelly water. Sequence was like this: I remembered ahead on the trail was a part where you might fall into a gross looking muddy creek. I LOLed to my self thinking about people falling in, because it is not challenging really. Then thought about Karma happening because I was laughing about it. psyched myself out when I got there, couldn't between lines - ended going the only bad line then panic braked, weight way to far forwarde, sent myself slow motion OTB into the grossness -- possible lessons? If your wondering how you could possibly mess something up, it means your about to. Instead, always look down the trail and ride with confidence or don't ride at all. If your thinking about the ways you could mess up as you come up on it, might as well get off and walk it or back and try again.

Amazing.

Blue jump line 3:20 looks so fun Eric love your vids u legand and I know what it feels like when u can’t ride cause I broke my wrist

What you call a chill run I call: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM FLYING then the next second you see me flying of the mountain

Nice flip and nice video 🤟🔥

jesus...this place is awesome, it's a shame that i live a bit far away 😄 (Austria). Nice video and content!

That place looks awesome!

Burns Lake is definitely on my list, Wow! By the way, nice to see you back Eric

great video!! Time to head up north, this looks amazing!

U should ride jacksonhole bike park Wyoming there are some nice flow trails

I too went over the bars ..... On a busy intersection in India... I was confident that I will squeeze behind that nissan sunny but don't know how ............ I went over the bars Rider error😬😬

I’ve been to Burns Lake many many times to play hockey, but still need to try out their mountain bike trails. I’m from a place about 2 hours away from there called Fort st. James. I very much doubt you’ve heard of it because it’s pretty much a dead end, it’s in the middle of nowhere, and the population is about 1300

The Second I heard the name “Waterloo” I got reminded by the song by ABBA

Soo good

Nice, but I doubt they put my small town of Rossland to shame with our 300km of trails. Of course we have twice the population and have been building mtb trails for about 30 years. But awesome to see you explore new trail networks. There's so much more than Whistler for BC mountain biking. And every area has its own flavour of trails depending on geography and the local trail builders.

Hard to beat BC, so much epic riding :D

Damn Canadians making me jealous! Especially in summer!

Truly cool place

I’m feeling the repeat injuries too. Broken ribs on my left side for the second time in 5 months right now 😞

DUDE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! SO DOES MY DAD

@BCpov watch your front tyre in the first accident ....it looks like a slightly soft tyre...I saw it depress a lot Very cool looking place

This is only a couple hours away from me, I can believe I haven't rode there yet! Definitely next on the list of places to check out!! If you get the chance, you should definitely check out Valemount!! The trails there are incredible

I'm just down south in Portland. Man, I don't appreciate the reality that smoke is just going to be the norm every summer now. All I can say is at least the fires weren't close enough to put near every major metro city in Oregon on evac notice like last year. Can not wait for the winter.

Maybe to help with u going over the bars u can try to get farther back on ur bike so u front wheel doesn’t get stuck as much

We literally just stayed in Burns Lake a couple weeks ago. Three days exploring the trail network left us with a pretty good idea of what they had to offer. A LOT of work done by a committed group of volunteers! Great facility and some good trails. Sadly, your review of Hogzilla is very deceiving and untrue. Sure it’s a long, machine built jump trail with drops and jumps of all shapes and sizes….. but it’s exactly that: all shapes and sizes. The HUGE miss on this trail which is the difference of an OK trail and a great trail, is the consistency of jump lips and timing of obstacles based on trail speed. Hogzilla is a trail that took a ton of machine time and volunteer work/love, but sadly the finished product missed the mark by a long shot. No two jump transitions are the same, things don’t grow according to trail speed, berms are inconsistent and gaps of jumps are dangerously inconsistent. So you saying it rivals jump trails at resorts is horrifically inaccurate. Trails like Title Line and Walk The Line at Silver Star, Steam Shovel and Bermalade at Sun Peaks and A-Line/Dirt Merchant at Whistler are so many levels above Hogzilla it’s not even comparable. Again, the Burns Lake trail network is amazing and ran by an amazing group of people. Hogzilla just doesn’t ride the way you describe it in this video and it’s not fair to your subscribers to say it does.

love the videos when are the Yukon riding videos coming out

Damn Canadians and all your epic bike parks.. best I have is BCSP and Griffen

If you look at the footage it looks like these kind of crashes are caused by the front tire hitting the groung and springing back slightly, giving the back of the bike enough lift to continue flipping over

You missed a bit of lore of the Burns Lake trail network, the trails have pig/hog references from when the original idea was pitched to the city and they replied "when pigs fly" (which in turn became the signature trails name).

WOW!!! i either gotta put money aside and do a MTB trails bucket list... or i gotta stop watching your channel lol ;)

I don't think I've ever heard anyone call any part of Canada 'down south' until just now

great video

EPICCC

I understand the benefits of having a low front end in certain situations, but as an old school, lower mainland downhiller I find the geo on most new bike's puts the front end way too low for riding steeps comfortably and 'safely' imho, especially for taller riders! A 40-50mm riser solved that over the bar feeling for me. Yes I have to weight my front end a little differently, but I'll take that small adjustment any day over feeling like all my weight is pushed forward on to the bars every time things get a little gravity orientated ;) Less wrist fatigue too!

5:25 that sounds like what me and my mates have made

You need to try duthie hill it’s so fun

Sick!

Sick!!!!!!!

About those falls, I wonder if you're reflexively putting pressure on the front brake.

Check out snow mass bike park in Colorado, it would be interesting.

You should ride in oak ridge Oregon if the smoke and fire go away

You should ride at Richmond Virginia. They have some great trails

you should ride in dufferin ontario especially a trail called ralphs trail

Welp, apparently Burns Lake is now on my list

It looks like it's too much front brakes. There's a thin line between just enough and too much front brake when the surface isnt that flat. But you know that already ;)

cant lie this trail is sick
