Building our NEW Backyard Dirt Jump Line!
We build and ride an entirely new medium size dirt jump line with my kids in our ridiculous backyard. This is the full build from beginning to end. We started with the new Roll-In that we built in the last video - • Building our Backyard ...
Then we moved a ton of dirt, built framed up wooden landings with lumber I made using my Alaska Mill on a Stihl 460, and then we built wooden lips for the take off's. Of course ride the finished jumps on our BMX bikes and MTB Dirt Jumpers.

Hey SETHHHHHHHHHHH
Hi seth
hi Seth i love your vids hope your doing good
Can’t wait for the next time you visit Eric
Cant wait for the pump track at berm peak plz do it
Eric is the dad I wish I had growing up, watching him teach his kids all the cool stuff is amazing and exactly the type of dad I want to be
SAME
Samee
My dad taught me how to work with wood and I took those skills and built jumps on my own. We never had the space or the resources to do anything this wild though. This is a god-tier childhood
My dad teaches me just like he teaches his kids and that the type of dad I want to be it is a really important skill and it's alot of fun
Same :'(
As a father, this has to be one of the coolest videos! I can’t wait to be able to build jumps and tracks for my son!
Not gonna lie this man has the coolest backyard ever
Thanks, it's pretty fun!
True
My family was passing by Eric’s place while he and his boys were building these jumps. He took a moment to chat it up and snap a pic with my son who races mountain bikes, it totally made his day. Thank you for being a class act and great ambassador for our sport!
It was great to meet you and the crew! Glad you guys enjoyed the video, and hope to see you again someday!
Awesome
P
Racing mountain bikes is soo fun. I am in 6th grade and this was my first time racing Nica
Not even kidding I’m enjoying this series as much as Matt Jones back yard build insane stuff 👍
Yeah they're both great!
I almost like Eric's more
I like erics more
Same
Gideon Allen probs cuz matts are something that u ( I assume) and I could never do or build where as Eric’s is a bit more realistic 🤷♂️ idk both r sick
wow i wish i could this with my dad. he gets dad of the year award 100%
I'm trying my best!
Always been a huge fan but seeing you be such an amazing dad makes me even a bigger one. Love seeing you teach your boys life skills. AWESOME!!
Thank you so much, glad you’re enjoying it! Definitely been fun spending more time with the kids!

bro nothing is cooler than doing things like this with your kid!
I agree!!! 👊
I'm about to have my first son, and this video is giving me all the feels. I can't imagine how proud you must feel to have two such awesome and fearless boys
That's awesome, congrats! The fun is only beginning with kids, you're going to do awesome!
This is how you raise kids. You've obviously worked hard to create a life and your family are benefiting. Massive props to you.
Thank you, it's hard work but so much fun!
You are the best father a kid would want. Teaching them hands on at a young age. You will never be forgotten by your son. Im 59 watching this thinking There are fathers out!
Salute to this guy. You’re such an awesome dad. You rock! 🤘🏻
Love so much that you involve your kids. You’re obviously a good person and a great dad.
"Does a one legged duck swim in circles?" Damn that had me crying lmao
You are so inspirational and have inspired me to build my own trails I have started a channel and posted videos to show you my progress including some wooden jumps and huge drops with a log ride too Please check out my channel and consider subscribing for more Thanks 🙏 Will
Haha awesome!
@@PorterMTB I have to add just in case you didn't already know, you are one good and cool dad. I pray your kids don't get "too cool" for you as they grow up, because I'm sure there's plenty of kids who would love to have a dad like you! Keep up the great work 💯
that had me dead lol im bouta start saying that one
@@PorterMTB yes 😘
The best dad in the world hope the kid can grow up like him👍🏽
It's awesome that you take time out of your day to help make cool mountain bike obstacles and teach your children so much about this sort of stuff
I love the fact that Eric will all most always interact with his fans in the comments it really shows how dedicated he is to his fans *But not to me* *Replies to me*
*doesnt interact with your comment*
@@oscarcoyle3925 XD Poor guy
That’s an oof
Hey I try my best!! The channel is growing fast and it's getting hard to keep up with every comment, plus I've been building most of the time!
I'm trying to keep up!! 🤙
Just came over from seths and Alex’s stream! So much awesomeness in such a short time
Same

Dude same, great Alex sent it and Seth’s flip flops🤭
Same
What a good dad, you can tell so easy that this guy is so genuinely happy being a father, so wholesome
Not sure who is more excited! Nice work Dad!
"Best dad ever" , said Milo an Owen Porter. So jealous of the backyard you guys have. Totally sick 🤘
Same
This is such an amazing thing for so many reasons! The time spent between father and son is something most of us could only dream of and it's all centered around some absolutely legit biking!
Absolutely loved this. Little dude is a total badass... as the dad of a tiny person, it's pretty amazing seeing you teach and inspire your kids to work hard and strive for something great. I hope that my daughter and I have something like this when she gets older. Great video. Keep it up.
This brings me back to my Dad helping us to build launch ramps,and half pipes.thanx for the memories of my dad
That's awesome, sounds like some great memories!
The smile on your face is priceless. Enjoy every minute of it.
Yo what a project, congrats!
Thanks Steve, you are awesome!
Wow
What a good dad. To many parents these days don’t teach their kids hard work. Props to you for showing them that working hard will always produce results man.
That's awesome to see the kids get out to work hard and play harder
I love him he’s so respectful with his kid he gave his his confidence he needed
It’s amazing seeing how much Eric’s kids have improved as riders
It's crazy to me as well!
Lovely to see the kids getting involved
youre a great dad man! never stop being the person you are, youre an inspiration
I love how you have your kids in the videos it’s fun, inspirational, and knowledgeable.💫
They are having so much fun, it's been great!
I wish I had jumps like this in my backyard
If you build it, they will jump.
Wow! Father & son bonding! I love that! As for me, we go on trails with my son. He hits jumps way too better than me when I was his age (18). My youngest is still learning how to ride a bike. As for my girls (wife & eldest daughter), they"d prefer long flat rides (lol). Greetings from the Philippines!
Me wonder where Eric has been... Eric built a whole jump line for his kids great job!!!
Haha yeah took two weeks to get that one built and edited!
Love their relationship, he supports him with the things he wants to do but doesn’t push him to do what he doesn’t want to do.
Thanks! I try hard to just support what they like to do and help them learn how to do stuff.
As a father this was fantastic to watch 😊 Thanks guys , what great kids
Dang. That jump is sick
I think every kid should have a dad like u
🙄
Ye man 🤟 keep it up loving these builds🤟 tell milo he is my favourite on the channel (sorry eric and owen😂)
Porter imagine if you replied your the best
Luke Padbury Fishing 🤟
All I gotta say is I wish I had a dad like you !!! Good shit man
If only i grew up like this lucky kids to have a great father like you so many good memories are coming from this ❤
Who else finds it so satisfying to watch the dirt being patted down and turning color
Milo absolutely shreds!! Tell him to lean foward more, and bring his arms back a little when he lands ;)
What a Dream.... to have a Dad like you !
Beautiful to watch, dad and son's riding together ❤️
I’m trying to build my on jumps in my Australia backyard
isnt it complicated being upside down and all?
Good luck man! 😂. I’m building mountain bike tracks at my farm and jeez it’s an effort. I still need to make jumps too.
Same
In summer
Same
Ive been waiting for this! I love these trail building videos!
Love to see this father son activity! Hopefully when I have kids I get the chance to share my hobbies as well! Cheers!
The kids are fearless. They will be jumping the big line in no time ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
I feel like we’re looking at the new Brandon semenuk 🤘🏼
Dude, if my dad built tracks like this when I was little he would have become my demigod.
Haha nice one. Same here
LoL
now that is how you do family..hard work and the ultimate pay off..pretty inspirational if you ask me.
Superman's dad and his lovely sons. Excellent!
Great video! I love how you incorporated your kids in the building process therefore making them feel included.👍
Thanks! They had a blast and learned a lot!
I can’t wait for your next video their so entertaining,well done on the jumps
Coming tomorrow! Thanks!
Great video. Great family. Great dad. Forever subscribed.
That's so awesome, thank you!!! Have a great day!
What’s school when you have a father like him. MVP!
I like how the plants grow everywhere that a There aren’t tire ways
Wish i had a big backyard so i could do this with my father
this has been one of favourite build series if watched on youtube in a VERY long time.
That was great. It has inspired me more to do mtb and use what I have around me . Thanks for the great content
10 years later will be crazy, hes got the jump and he looks like he will land with more transition very soon
"Does a one legged dug swim in circles?" BWAHAH!
Yeah, that was hilarious
I’m actually thinking about it and it makes sense but at the same time doesn’t 🤨
This backyard is a Dream
Man you are a SICK dad!! Your kids will absolutely love watching this when they get older. One of the best videos I have watched...keep up the great work!!!
You need to make a “table top” using that picnic table sick video 🤟
That's not a bad idea!
15:15 It is the best feeling ever.
You know!
The fact that you built this for your kid is crazy I love it
You guys are amazing keep doing what you’re doing
"does a one legged dog swim in circles" hahaha
Duck. Not dog.
Duck
"Think this is a good decision." "It's got a roll cage." Had me dying lol
Im a mom who just bought a 16" wedge kicker for 13yo and his friends, first ramp. they are loving it. some of the dads are doing it. cannot even imagine what the boys would think about this. truly amazing expression of life and love for your boys
Beautiful video! Your a great dad and it's a dream to watch
Uhm this dad is so supportive. I love how he says “if you’re feeling it”
No pressure here, just support, that's how we keep it fun!
Just imagine having this in your backyard 😂
I would kill for a dad like this but dads always have strengths and my dads is his creative thinking keep shredding guys
Seriously a great video great Father and great kids way to do it right. Wonderful job !
This was in my recommended, I clicked on it. I watched for a bit, then sub
Rad!! Welcome aboard, new vid out tomorrow!
Yes
The small jump still looks scary lmao
i want dad like you my dad is sitting in home all day after work but i still love him
That is some top-drawer Dadding right there. You have inspired me to go build some berms and dirt jumps for the kids in the steep front yard we have.
Who found this on you recommend and you don’t even watch bikes and you still watched the whole vid
That’s awesome, stoked to have you here! More fun vids on the way, new one out later this week!
Dad, you know how you wouldn't get me a PlayStation. Yeah? Dad I need the mini excavator.
😂
So cool!! Can’t wait to teach my children how to build and make things happen!! Thanks for sharing!
That skid steer is just awesome, I'm very lucky to actually have experience driving one
Does a one legged duck swim in circles? I Guess we'll never know
4:13 yes
That kid is so lucky to have his own jump line in his backyard
You’re an amazing dad bro, my son has just turned one and already loves bikes, I’m so excited for when he’s older for us to do this same stuff! Keep it up 🤙🏼
“Its 10:00 at night Milo is past his bedtime” *me starts dying laughing*
