This is my boy's Milo and Owen's first trip to Whistler Bike Park, their minds were blown by Dirt Merchant, A-Line, Freight Train, Original Sin, and all the other fun trails! They could never decide whether to ride tech trails or flow trails though, so we figure out which is better in this video while shredding nonstop!

I can't believe how good Owen has gotten! I was stunned to see him ride dirt merchant! BOTH boys are amazing and have benefitted from their dirt jump yard and DAD! Way to go!
Yeah I can't believe it either, this was definitely not what I expected them to ride haha.
(
Please how much is Owen and Milo bikes
Nah ur kid insain @@PorterMTB
Dude there dad is awesome. Milo and Owen. You should be very thankful to have him as your dad
Didn't expect to cry! Amazing core memories captured! Thank you for sharing with the world!
This legit might be my new favorite bike video haha. Watching Owen hit that stuff on his first blind run is insane! Love how scared you were to follow him but Owen was so chill with the pro-line. Great video!
Wow that's awesome, thanks!!! We definitely stopped a lot to check look at and talk about the big stuff, but he figured it out right away! We had so much fun!
Wow, your boys shred! I'm super impressed with them, their progression has been fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
From the nervous parent to being so proud of the lads... Your stoke levels are infectious and it completely comes across your "pinch yourself moment "shredding down dirt merchants proline with your boys, buzzing an envious for all yaw from a wet n muddy Uk💥🤙👍
I smile every time I hear the emotion in your voice. Watching your boys do the things you love is one thing. But sharing that magic with them is entirely different. ❤
Hey Eric !!! Congrats on riding with your boys . really Glad for you. I knew about you through Seth. You both are super chilled guys and skilled riders. Cheers.
Both of your kids are really incredible riders but Owen is awesome! What a great family dude!
Incredible! Just incredible. My mouth was fully open watching that. Well done boys!💪💪💪
The kids are absolute shredders and it is amazing being able to see them progress and grow. You are definitely doing it right.
Thats so freaking cool. You're living the dream man! Its wild how far they have come in such a small amount of time.
First time finding a vid from you guys! God bless you all and I only hope for the best, you really made me smile seeing you all as a family
Just amazing progress! Both fearless and can so understand proud dad feelings Stoked for you all.
Your boys are super SICK riders now!! Big props all of ya.
I was waiting for this. Thank you!❤
Glad to finally get it out!! Thanks for watching!
Congrats!! I’ve been waiting for you and the boys to get to Whistler.
Congrats Eric! What a great crowning moment! And congrats Milo and Owen you guys are ripping!
Great video- fun to watch. It was nice meeting you & your family during your trip to Whistler.🙂
Watching this video clip I was breathing hard, and then when I saw Owen take that bike flip and hit the ground I was nervous. I was so happy that he got up and shook it off and domolished the rest of the trails. I really enjoy watching your videos great job...👍👍👍
Congrats! You’ve put lots if work in, so a well deserved proud moment! ✌️
Milo and Owen just straight up SHRED! Love it.
Oscar absolutely shreds! Great watching you and the boys. Must be the greatest feeling as a dad!
Can't believe how good they're getting! Doing a great job dad! Keep em coming!
Wow! Looks like a lot of fun and some crazy progression from the boys!
Those two have gotten so good at riding in the past few years it’s insane. Also really cool to see Milo more involved with filming. The POV swaps are pretty tight too!
Man, you must feel proud of your boys. AWESOME!!!!
So awesome! It's always a good parent moment when you're kids can keep up... and then a little sad when they pass you up.... just a little sad. :)
As a parent who's just started mountain biking myself and getting My 5-year-old to ride mellow green trails with me, this video was so epic dude absolutely love it and happy I stumbled upon it. You must have been absolutely stoked hitting those trails with your boys What a feeling!
That's awesome, you have so much fun riding ahead with your 5 year old! It was crazy riding Whistler with my boys, scary for sure because that stuff is huge, but they were ready for it and did awesome. We started out when they were really small on balance bikes and worked up to this, I just made sure they were having fun and had good experiences every time they rode, and worked up to bigger rides and harder trails as they were ready. Lots of patience as well haha, but it's worth it. Glad you found the video as well, have fun out there!
Just awesome riding you guys. So fun. Can't wait until our kids have enough skills to make an amazing trip out there. Fantastic. Owen on the massive drop. THAT WAS CRAZY!!!!
Wow, absolute sick video! So cool that you can do something like this with the boys😎👍 Also, so cool how you ran into Jordan, Kyle and April!
ERIC!!!!!! I love to see Milo and Owen riding so well! BUT WE NEED TO SEE A BIKE CHECK
yea 100% milo looks like he just got a new bike
No doubt THE BEST trails are the ones you ride with the Porters and their friends!!! It was FABULOUS seeing the skills all the boys have and how supportive and stoked they are for one another. This video is MAGNIFICENT!! I was smiling from start to finish 😁(except when Owen went OTB, but then when he found the mossy beard and mustache, back to 😁)
*So cool to watch! Nice job 👍🏼*
Right on! Grats Milo and Owen! Gonna be crazy in the future to see if you can keep up! lolol
Just came home from school and I was waiting for this vid to come out
Unreal how good your kids have gotten. Best line of the video was " Someone like me thats making bad decisions and smashing rocks". I will need to look into these wheels since so that same.
Looks so fun! Can’t wait to go to whistler one day and ride dirt merchant! So cool that you have the adventures together with your boys.
Amazing, i wish we had good bike parks where we live!
Hahaha…statement of the video, “Lies talk, more ride!” The cheek!!! 😂
Watching this crew rip is so fun.
I'm laying in my bed with a broken foot crying to myself not being able to mountain bike, Owen and Milo have improved by a lot! must be a proud dad.
Your boys hav progressed so quickly!
This was an absolute dads dream. I grew up not sharing anything fun with my father so this was my dream with my kids. Got 2 daughters. I already got bikes for them. Just need to grind more for money, hopefully one day we'll have great setups and have great ride together. Bring the mom to spa for a day or two. 😂
Wondering if you've stopped smiling an ear to ear grin yet Eric? Can only imagine how proud and stoked you were riding those trails with your boys. Props to Milo for hitting those jumps lines, 100% agree with him, the tech stuff is so much more rewarding to me and also less dangerous in most cases as you're not normally doing the speed like jump trails. Major props to Owen and Oscar for hitting all they did, tech and jump and hitting the Pro Line, that's just insane - must have had a lot of adults staring at those 2 little groms just hitting that stuff like it was nothing. Big props also to Owen for getting back up and on it after that OTB, that was nasty.
Nope, still smiling haha. We're gonna need more time in Whistler next year, it's so good. The boys definitely blew my mind on this trip!
Dad of the year goes to you! This is an awesome video! I've got to get up there one of these years.
Such a great video!!
I can totally relate to the feeling of riding with your boys. I can’t wait to get up there to whistler with mine.
That's awesome, love to hear it. Your boys are gonna have so much fun!
Loved seeing you and your kids at Whistler. To me bikes and kids go together.
Thanks!! Nothing goes together better than bikes and kids!
Your kids are crazy on a bike! Good to see them at a famous bike park so I can compare them to other riders and they are so good
Yeah it's pretty wild how good they've gotten, just lots of time riding and having fun!
Glad he was ok after that wicked crash...and the proud dad moments on Dirt Merchant Pro Line 😎
that was sick and over the 5 years i have been watch ing him ride the progreshion is awsom🤙
Thanks! It is crazy seeing the progression!
Can't believe the stuff your kids are hitting now!! WOW! I was gonna say imagine what they're going to be riding in a few years, but they're already riding some of biggest trails in the world. Pro lines at Whistler!?!? That crash Owen had was a little gnarly but he handled it so well! Nice hardware on the bikes, too, I run the Shigura setup with the same MT7 calipers on all my bikes and they're amazing. Awesome job all around, dad!
I honestly can't believe it either, I've tried hard to keep them reeled in for slow and steady progression, they have turned into really solid riders now! You'll be there soon!!!
Owen is so good now and he has so much confidence 😊
When I first started going to Whistler around 2007, flow / jump trails were much more rare. Nowadays you can find a solid mix of trails almost everywhere, but Whistler is still the best park in the world for every type of progression you might want. And I agree, less talk, more ride! ;)
But I live in Dubai
JUST BUILD A JUMP THEN @@HVZIQ2112
Always less talk more ride! Haha that might have been my favorite line in the video! Yeah it's crazy how much Whistler has developed the trails. My first trip there was in 2003, it's come so far!
Cool video. Man them boys can ride.
The boys are getting so good awesome seeing Owen hitting those jumps with no fear and getting back up after being tossed like that is so great.
Awesome! your kids are so skilled!
I can't believe how much they've progressed, just lots of time riding and having fun!
@@PorterMTB That‘s sole great parenting man congrats
Awesomeness from beginning to end! Truly you are a great ambassadors for mtb! If there is "i wanna be like mike" in basketball...this is "i wanna be like you guys" in mtb!!! #prouddaddy
Oh how nice to be a young gun. Owen's OTB body slam would have put me out for a week . . . or more. He gets up and says I'm OK and keeps on going. Nice to see Kyle and April too.
That’s insane that they hit dirt merchant. I’m 12 and I live in Minnesota so I don’t hat to do that stuff but it’s very cool to watch your family. I love your channel 🎉
That's awesome to hear, thanks! We'd love to come ride Duluth and MN sometime too.
As a Dad, hard to imagine being prouder of your kids than that. Well done.
Amazing trails. Can’t go wrong either way 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I can totaly see Milo growing up to be a downhill racer and Owen growing up to do slope style. Id definetly be rooting for them in competitions! GO PORTERTS!
As a former BMX racer always jumping over tech but i start to enjoy tech more and more lately
"Less talk, more ride!" Well said, sir! :D
It's personal preference on which is better, just loved the demonstration of what the boys are doing, and I would ride technical trail.
Everytime I see a Mountain bike video it's always down hill, climbing is the heart of Mountain biking, downhillers are weak they don't wanna feel the pain , but climbing relaxes me , I feel like im in zen
We love climbing too, and have some climbing in a lot of our videos, but it's usually quick clips since climbing isn't very entertaining to watch in a video!
seeing Owen and milo progress that much is insane!!!!
creep why you looking at kids like that
? @@daisyjubilee2887
Groms sessioning the Dirt Merchant Pro Line is equal insanity and happiness
Very supportive father, love from phillipines 🤘
Thank you, I'm trying!
3:29 those suspensions have a nice bike
We're very thankful to have nice bikes!!
@@PorterMTBI bet 😅
Good times ❤
So much fun!!!
I cant believe they hit the drop and step up on Dirt Merchant. You must've been pretty nervous. I have a 6 year old daughter whos just getting into mountain biking and I get nervous when she rides down flat single track :). Great Video.
Wow! What a dream to have your boys on your favourite trails with you! Gnarly crash well handled 👊
I just went to bentonville for my bike trip this year, I know where I am going next year! Whistler looks unreal! The kids are killing it!!
Now this video is what mountainbike is about!
Awesome Trail Riding
Thanks, it's so much fun there!
Those Boys are machines!!!
The term party laps with the boys has new meaning now 😂😂😂
WOW Owen has becoume soooo good, i am really impressed
He has completely blown my mind too!!
I rode Whistler with Oskar in July, he is such a sick rider (I also towed Oscar into the 2nd dirt merchant drop for his first time)
Yeah Oskar is insane, he's gotten so good too! He's one of Owen's best friends and they ski together all winter too! Hope we get to ride with you next year!
@@PorterMTB That would be awesome
very happy ride with kids....
that needs to be so fun
It's so much fun!
looks sick
Proud dad day for sure!!
You should come down to Australia there are so many tech and jump trials here
Owen and milo have gotten sooooo good
Does your camera ever fall in a jump like i want that 😂❤
For me I love jumps because of the adrenaline while in the air But in Ireland there isn’t many jumps there is more tech trails than jumps so I am more experienced with tech but I love improving at jumps
your boys are wild.
Haha yeah, just trying to keep them safe!
Ok my god Owen it’s so good keep it going
God the boys are growing up quick! Milo sounds like a grown man almost!
When i become a dad that would be my dream riding with the boys. Love youre content❤❤
It's my dream as well, we have so much fun! Thanks, glad you enjoy the vids!
I can’t believe how Owen is riding these trails and jumps! It’s crazy how good he is! I wish I was that good! I’m older than him by a couple years and I’m half as good as him! (I probably crash more too 😅 the vid is on my channel)
Awesome video
Good fun. btw what size is the front tire that was on the damaged wheel @4:29 ? It looks like it would fit a Honda CR 80
It was really fun! Haha yeah that was on Kyle's bike, I think it's a 24 x 3.0, but you'd have to ask him, it's huge!
Proud Dad moments rule!🤘🤘
It's the best, definitely gets you through the hard times parenting haha, I wish it could always be like these days!
So cool!!!
Thanks!!
love the vid!! and dirt merchant is definitely the best trail in Whistler 😁😁
