I Quit My Job To Be A Pro Athlete. Will It Work?
What’s the difference between an Athlete and a Creator? Can you be a professional mountain biker and do either, or do you need to compete?
I believe as long as you are bringing value to the mountain bike community, you deserve the title, and that’s exactly where I’m headed (again).
This channel just crossed the 100,000 subscriber mark a few weeks ago - and this is a little bit of the journey of what it took to get here - and where we are headed now.
I made the decision to quit my job to follow this dream, which is definitely going to make things interesting!
Big thank you to @TomtheTaxiDriver @TheShinDig for all of your help (and filming!) during our London visit. You guys are the best! Stay tuned for the podcast that we did after our day at CZcams HQ - I'll link it here as soon as it's ready.
Thank you “CZcams Chris” for always supporting me and being a huge part of this journey.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the channel and watched the videos that I have worked so hard to create. It makes it all worthwhile to know that this is helpful for your riding.

How To Ride TOUGH MTB Trails
zhlédnutí 10KPřed dnem
The one skill that bails me out of the toughest spots on the trail is also one of the most versatile skills you can have on two wheels. Using an "English Hop" or simultaneous two-wheeled hop, SPD hop, clipless hop, (and the many other names it goes by) will give you a chance to quickly reset and rebalance yourself and your bike when things go sideways. In this video we break down all the differ...
Unlock Your MTB Potential With This One Skill!

No matter how hard you try, if you don't address and expand your comfort zones over your balance points on the back (all three of them), you're going to have a hard time progressing your skills as a mountain biker. In this video, we're going to learn how to spend more time getting comfortable over your balance points. We're going to identify and learn how to use our balance points, and then I'v...

    You are living many rider's dream, so it is already working. If you worry about future financial situation, you would also worry about it with your previous job, so nothing have changed. I have been watching your videos for a few years. I like your skill demos, but I would also recommand you adding more culture and history content about this sport, so your channel can resist the ever increasing pressure from new riders with better skills.

    Hey! I am a 17 year old kid who one day wants to reach this goal but I feel it’s not realistic because it’s not a “real job” what tips do you have to kinda of grow a channel when starting out? Another reason I want to reach this goal is because I’d so much rather do something I love to do everyday, rather than work a 9-5.

    I use an orbea laufey h30 and it is great. In practice it's a combination of an enduro- and a trailbike. But if my choice matters i would say that u try orbea laufey h10 beacouse it is lighter and it has got litle bit better parts.

    If I’m going super slow I basically do a controlled wheelie and land on my back wheel. Like riding out the back of my pickup truck, or off a picnic table. If I’ve got any speed at all then yes I basically just ride off it like the video.

As a fellow Portlander I am definitely curious what you are going to do in the winter now that you don’t have the shred spot. Is a move in the works too to keep winter content going? Excited for ya…

      Thanks so much! I haven't really figured out winter yet, if I'm honest. We do have access to another indoor spot (not as fancy as the Shred Spot, but it could work) - but I'll likely try to travel a bit to create videos. Lots to figure out, for sure!
