I Tried To Restrain Myself But…

- Coming back from a big crash, I had been playing it safe by not doing anything stupid. However, I hadn’t lost my enthusiasm. I still wanted to send big features. I was scared… I wasn’t sure when was the right time to send again.

I think most people forget that confidence comes also with fitness. After an injury i switch back into xc riding and just trying to get enough fitness back so i dont hesitate on jumps because of lack of power. I do the most mistakes when i feel exhausted on a trail. Thats the base layer i always start with. The rest comes automatically. If you feel like a sack of potatoes you will jump like a sack of potatoes
I agree most crashes happen when you’re tired
putting on some muscle is HUGE for injury prevention. Increase bone density and that built up muscle is going to protect said bones form heavy impacts.
Underrated advice - the thread
most relatable video EVER! stoked to see you back on the bike and sending it! 🤘
I recommended Boomerang Farm on Eric’s channel, I’ve been there before and I did the 10ft drop he did. I also know the boys you were following through the trails. I hope you guys had a great time👍
you get up.
you dust yourself off.
you try again.
never give up. never surrender. as extreme sports lovers its part what we do.
Fear can be quite a obstacle to over come. But if you just pick back up, right where you left of. The quicker you do this, the better off you are.
You did great on your return! I'm happy to see you back at it!
I’m still scared but it’s not going to be fear free 🤔
@@VanGirlYuka go to Western Australia as it has goat farm mountain bike park plus it’s free
@@Hjjjj917 Maydena, Tas. Goat farm is nothing in comparison. Plus Derby is only a couple of hours away too.
From someone that has broken their neck riding (C5 C6 still fused) - it can feel like a long way back. You have a great insight that the most valuable thing on the journey - is choosing the right mistakes to make. Wise Yuka, very wise. Well done!
All I can say is to ease into it. It'll start small and with time it just comes back. Enjoi being out there in the environment and it will come back.
Good job, Yuka. As we get older, crashes become MUCH scarier. We heal slower. We like to think we get wiser; but sometimes that just means giving up.
But we CAN recover! Keep up the moral!

Great job pushing through and having fun!
Great job Yuka❗️conquering your fears can be the biggest obstacle I've experienced after coming back from an injury.
Good Job Yuka! Stoked to see you back
Good to see you riding and healthy.
The time to send it again will be when it feels right! Growing and rebuilding yourself is not a linear path, and I'm sure there are bad days ahead, but that'll just make it all the sweeter when you do make those bigger features again! You got this, Yuka, I believe in you!
Good job Yuka. Nice to see you enjoying biking again.
Good to see you back on the road. Happy return!!
nice to see you send again yuka. keep it safe and fun.
Great to see you working your way back!
Congratulations on getting your confidence back. Great video
Glad you're recovered, and feeling good on the bike.
Excellent work miss Yuka!
Glad to see you getting back at it. Overcoming your fears is real.
Good for you Yuka. Glad to see you are on your way back to being comfortable again.
Welcome to Australia Yuka and good on you for conquering your fears.
Great seeing you out there again! I think this was one of my favorite videos you have done.
I always love watching your videos Yuka! Great to see you back sending it!
So good Yuka! Was awesome riding with you guys and seeing you tick a massive drop off your list!
So good to See you on a bike again and already sending for real!! Well done 👍
One thing I love about mountain biking community is how supported everyone is, so I don’t want to be that guy, I love how you have the courage to hit technical features but I think knowing your skills level and know what features to learn from or which one to pass is really important, or just like you mentioned, suffer the consequences.
You know for someone who has the skill then yeah they need to have the courage the hit it, but if someone doesn’t have the skill, maybe take an easy and work your way up?
From watched your videos, I was always nerves for you, worry you are gonna fall,
Simply clear a feature doesn’t mean you have the proper skills for it, you can hit a jump with control or hit a jump passively,
At Whistler, the jumps are built perfectly, someone who doesn’t know how to jump can still clear them, so if someone doesn’t have the skills for jumping, it’s only the matter of time when they hit a sketchy feature and crash.
This happened to me with snowboarding, when I first learnt snow boarding, at the beginning I progressed really fast because I was fearless, as a downhill biker, I was comfortable bombing down the hill with speed, but I don’t really have the skills on a snowboard to hit big features, so I started to hurt myself a lot, and it caused me to regressed, so I stoped snowboard for about 5 years, finally I am ready to get back and this time, I educated myself on the sport, as far as how to and board technology and so I got a beginner friendly board and I’m gonna slowly work my way up and know my skill level so I don’t hurt myself and have fun on the mountain
Welcome to Australia Yuka!! I only found out you are here!! Have fun and keep safe!
Amazing! Putting one's self out there and taking a risk can be scary, but so rewarding. Way to go!
She's baaaaaaack!!! Much respect. 👍
I'm so happy I came across your channel. The way you do your videos makes me smile
soooo nice to see you back again!!!
Yuka: I want, i want, i want!
Eric: do it then
Yuka: 😑
I LOVE these videos, so Yuka is so badass
It's great to see you out there again. Feeling a bit wobbly after your crash is totally normal I reckon. And as you say you're wiser now.
Hell yeah Yuka, so good to see you get back to your pre crash mood !
Keep it up, but take your time if you feel you need to !
I can't tell you how much i love your work. Your videos, are thoughtful, and well planned. You always bring us along, on one of your adventures. Please don't stop any time soon. You rock!
And thanks for all the content you have made for us so far on this journey.

No way! You’re in my part of the world!Welcome to QLD Yuka! Feel free to message if you want a riding buddy! 😅
Welcome to Australia Good to see your back at it ! So cant wait for the next few videos :)
Great to see you back Yuka!
Amazing, as usual! Your resilience is admirable! I did have a few bad crashes myself and at 56, it's harder to come back...
Great to see you back and hitting the features and also dropping down under! Have a great time here in Oz Yuka
WTG Yuka! Looking good!
it is so darn cute how you aproach things.
so glad you are back on the bike riding
hi yuka!!!! go at your own pace and enjoy the journey :)
Welcome to Aus legends, great to see you riding our trails! :)
I'm a fan. Very happy that you are back
Hope to see you ride in more wet areas, then you can be the Water Rabbit - Happy Lunar New Year Yuka and glad to see you back making videos - we missed you!
Glad to see you're well and truly back on the bike Yuka. Stoked you're both in Aus too. I'm looking forward to this series and seeing you enjoy our trails up and down the east coast (and beyond?).
Thanks for the great video Yuka. You are such an inspiration to get out and ride....!
Awesome video Yuka! Glad to see you huckin' once again, and the composition and story telling of this video was such a fun ride!
Welcome back to Australia Yuka! Good to see you sending it again!!:)
Happy to see you sending it again Yuka!
Great video. and nice to see your confidence is increasing. That's the first Aussie bike video I've seen. Nice to know whenever I get down there.!
I am glad to see you're getting back out there and having fun on the bike. I am a bit backwards in that I have always wanted to get back on the bike and send it as soon as heal. It have been addicted to doing stupid things on bikes since I was racing BMX in the late 80s
ほんとすごい。
また、どうか怪我だけは無いよう祈っております🚵♀️
Well done, you are soon back to normal 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Coming back from a big crash is always hard, and that's normal. Slow and steady, then back up to speed comes with time, just like you did here. Well done!!
Thanks, Yuka! You are wise to trust your gut. It will tell you when you are being too safe and when you are not being safe enough.
Love this women’s attitude! Took me a few months to get my confidence back after breaking my ankle to. And it’s still not there. Takes time 🙏🏻💪🏻
Glad it was here on Oz where you got your mojo back! Welcome and have a ripper trip!
Great job Yuka!!!
So happy to see you sending it again Yuka....YATTA !
Good morning. Happy to see you on a bike again!!
It’s nice to be back on my bike 👍
You are awesome Yuka!
That is the PERFECT time to send shit again...when you want to and when you're ready. Best advice ever...and super glad you're sending it again!
wow, i feel like i needed to hear this. i had my worst stack yet a while back and have been struggling to send jumps ever since while my brother only got better and better and mountain biking, surpassing my skill by a mile.
yuka, your courage is something to be reckoned with, thank you for inspiring me
(also epic to see you guys in australia!)
Stay safely ride Yuka,..So Glad to see you enjoy biking again,. Greeting from Indonesia
Great to see you back in the saddle!
So good to see you back on the bike, riding and having fun again. It's hard to explain to other people who don't ride mtb what it really means to us. We all crash. We all want to get right back on the bike. But we have to be smart go through the progression carefully once again. It's frustrating to start small when you are used to hitting bigger features. But I'm glad to see you being smart about it.
Nice to see you riding again!... I ended my 2022 with a crash... I know how you feel... but you have gain back your confidence pretty quick! Hope to see more of your rides! Ride Safe! Ride Strong! 🙂
Your videos are great Yuka
you should definitly come ride ourimbah its super sick but youll have to make sure the cindintions are good other wise the trails will be closed , there is only shuttles on friday afternoons.
Nice seeing you back on trail yuka.👊
I can relate. Took me quite a while to get back my confidence after breaking my femur in 2018. What matters is just getting back out there and the feeling will gradually come back. :3 Awesome to see you back out there!
Great to see you in Australia, hope to see you in Sydney, my home town!
Awesome stuff Yuka!
take it your time. Enjoy riding and thanks for sharing. I'm a road cyclist and I just got a santa cruz bronson and plan to do some mountain biking.
I was in the same situation, after my last crash last year, my confidence has gone down and even if I am back riding, I still can't do the stuff I used to do before. I am very careful with what I do on the trail which isn't exciting at all. I hope I can get my mojo back like you.
Yuka keeping it real as always... love it! I've played it safe so many times but I've also prevented big crashes while continuing to challenge myself. I'm happy with my progression while keeping things within my ability... or at least my stretch goals!!
Good work Yuka! I’m still suffering mentally from a crash I had almost two years ago now! It’s annoying but each small gain makes me forget what happened and move on and progress! Inspiring to see you back on the bike again!
Great video
Epic seeing you and eric there
I love watching your channels. You and Eric keep it so real with your struggles and fears at ridding. It is so nice to see because not everyone is a professional rider. I do a lot of local X-cross country trails but want to get into bike park riding. What is the best body protection? What is a good company to buy from for that? Maybe you and Eric can do a video on the stuff that protects both of you.
Good work Yuka! When I was young I raced bmx. I broke my jaw and my back on 2 separate crashes. It took awhile to bounce back from both injuries, but the mental bounce was the hardest. I'm stoked to see you pushing yourself again to he the best you can be.
Glad to see you back at it again....keep building your confidence and just send it....
Sending features makes me the happiest 😁✨
Awesome video! Way to get back at it!
Tnks for the content, we want more videos more often we love you
Good to see you out sending it! Just use your skills and don't get in over your head. No more Wild Boar riding! And as usual another great video. Keep sending it!!
Definitely always listen to your gut, whether it’s to just straight send it, or call it a day. The mental aspect is the toughest to overcome
Thank You. As a Dane I noticed the fine PH5 lamps, originally designed for Louis Poulsen in 1958 by architect, Poul Henningsen but still sold in huge numbers!
Hi Yuka,
Welcome to Australia. I live in Hobart Tasmania so it is unreal to see you in our amazing southern land. Would love to see you come down to Maydena and Derby!!! Seb
Good advice. Take it slow and progress at your own rate. Keep at it!🤘
Great to see you get your confidence back! Where else are you planning to ride in Oz? Would be cool to meet you guys
