I ride alone in the woods all the time, until today. Thanks Bobo.
I've always thought about taking a small side arm with me on rides because where I'm at people get robbed for their bikes but figured it be too taboo for the sport.
@@fortunateson2 Sometimes I carry.
@@jcsrst well that settles it, thanks.
Pedal faster
@@Clynikal not very easy to do when you come to a stop for a breather and car suddenly rolls up with guns drawn.
This exactly how it feels when you lose your riding buddies
It’s happening to me now ☹️
Aye
@@sanjayheaven5230 Then stop watching CZcams and catch up!
@@PixiiGER hmm ur actually right I’ll do that
oh man it’s terrifying
True story: When riding solo in the local pine forrest, I came across a massive english mastiff, so I slowed right down and stopped... his owner, in all camo, with camo face paint, carrying a hunting compound bow and arrow (with an arrow loaded in the string) came out of the trees and asked me "have you seen any wildlife??".... to which I physically gulped, said no, and slowly peddaled away repeating over and over in my mind. "Please don't kill me.... please don't kill me...please god don't kill me!"
What the balls is this guy hunting with a compound bow and hunting dogs? Usually dogs r used for birds, but u can't hit a flying bird with a bow
@@ALizardInCrimpson racoon
I sure as hell wasn't waiting around to find out!! But, you're absolutely right too?? I've actually never seen anything other than Kangaroos in there. (which you definitely wouldn't be getting all camo for!
Never seen deer, or even a rabbit!!
....plus the dog would scare anything off?
The whole thing just freaked me right out! (and this video brought it right back!! Haha! All he was missing was a shovel!!)
Deliverance on wheels
@@mickd6942 Damn right it was. Scary as hell....but in real life!?! 🤣
congrats to the cameraman who wasn't there, and still managed to film this amazing solo ride!
I was surprised and chased by a small barking dog in the forest..
I screamed like a girl...
Not afraid to admit it...lol
Just wanna let you know that you did better on the “serious” scenes than I’ve seen you do on all the comedic clips. Don’t be afraid to pursue that. Really enjoyed it.
I mean, i rlly like the comdy videos too, but this was so goood
Shhhh, it's supposed to be cheesy comedy
this is so kick ass! and kinda accurate for when yr mind wanders on solo rides! and it can be even scarier going for solo rips at night!! my brain has administered some heavy doses of adrenaline while GTFOing the woods after hearing some weird sounds. some of the best cornering i've ever done. woo!
lol, same
And seeing the reflection of some eyes… damn raccoons going to make me crap myself
I got some of my fastest times riding at night solo lol
Literally 👍😂😂😂
Straight up
I can only imagine how long this took to edit but it turned out rad! Also, extremely relatable. Thanks for adding to my inner voice while riding solo. 🤘
Yeah so relatable, this happens to me every weekend.
I hate it when those random crazy men come and murder you with an axe, it’s so annoying
I was riding in Colorado by myself in the mountains and I swear a bear was following me. I completely freaked out and became an EWS pro on the downhill back to the parking lot.
Dude, I got THAT FEELING purely thrue the vid, great work, keep it up
Literally my every night ride fear, you nailed Bobo.
I have no words. Best thing I saw for months. Amazing. Still have goosebumps.
What a atmosphere, what a tension. Masterpiece.
Holy crap that was a better story than any actual horror movie and executed perfect keep up the great MTB film making its amazing
Thats the best mountainbike movie Ive ever seen
Nice! Me though...always armed when I ride, hike, backpack, kayak, snowshoe, canoe, camp, geocache, SAR mission, overlanding, etc.
1 year ago, i went to a ride in my local trail with my trailbike in the late evening. When i was on the top i saw someting that look like a creature, and on the downhill i saw an other one, i also heard weird sounds. When i got to the bottom i rode hard as i can out the forest. I still dont know what happent but it scared the fuck out of me...
This is actually too accurate. I've had some random dude who I think lived in the woods near the trails strike up a conversation with me once, started talking about how he was in jail for a while, and how everyone should carry a weapon on them, was kinda weird. I just kept chatting with him and then rode away quickly asap without being rude. 😂😂
Another time I was way up in the back of an abandoned farm around dusk. I had hopped off my bike for a moment when something kinda caught my attention from the corner of my eye, it turned out to be a long gray hair ON my shoulder, believe me when I tell you I made it back out to the main road 10 times faster than I got in there!
Anyway, great short film!
Lol
Oh geez, this reminds me of one night when I was riding home alone at 2am and my headlight landed on this dude lying on his back in the middle of a wooded section of the path. Thought he was dead or something so I stopped and asked if he was okay, and he just sorta mumbled "yeah" and kept lying there. Needless to say I definitely set a PR hightailing it the rest of the way back while thinking of how every zombie movie starts. A few minutes later an owl swooped up from nowhere right in front of the bike because I wasn't freaked out enough before.
Well, the Hills have eyes.
Fucking brilliant, Bobo! Masterpiece. I'm gonna start a campaign for a full length Bobo movie.
lol, thanks buddy!
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO seriously great buddy. You weren't kidding about that gimbal. 👏 standing ovation
I'll 2nd that!
I had one solo ride where I got caught out in a nasty thunderstorm (while being fairly exposed). Let's just say I was setting PRs racing to get back to the house. Being absolutely terrified is a marvelous motivator :D
Normally I tend to not ride solo in the woods / mountain areas as we have too many big critters (mountain lions, bears, etc). Big cats are terrifying. Several coworkers have been stalked while out hiking and one of my neighbors dogs (4 large dogs) were attacked by a small mountain lion. Thankfully the dogs all survived but they got beat up pretty good.
same thing happened to me. its a cool story/memory to have tho :P
@@Amonfobious Yeah, suddenly it gets very dark and starts pouring, you start getting pretty soaked. Then lightning close enough to make all of your hair stand up. Whooo! :)
Idk why but it being calm creeps me out more especially when I’m not near the river because the silence is weird
why dont you bring ar 15 to trails , you are from usa
@@dojajaje it would be too cumbersome for mountain biking
Such a sick video, extremely well done, both humor and horror 👻
Night riding with a head torch is gonna if fun, but sometimes when you do it alone and you stop and realise that anyone or anything can see you but your basically out there blind and deaf to anything not in your light beam...
This moment when the descend starts and you race down faster than any body before, it describes my solo rides perfect
Great video Bobo! The title is what grabbed me, since I love solo rides...better at night and in the Fall when the twigs you tiddly-wink with your rear wheel sound like footsteps running close behind!👀 I once heard whispers near an old foundation just after dark as I rolled by, man , talk about the chills kicking in! Thanks for the video!
genuinely scary...love the video, and its so accurate! even when im not riding trails alone i still sometimes think of this stuff. Lots of creepy places in my area :/
Good vid! Your content just keeps getting better and better.
I remember doing a night ride and whilst climbing a steep hill in the middle of some remote woods I heard a baby crying. It proper freaked me out and made me really uneasy the remainder of the ride. I had this feeling I was constantly being watched, and at one point near a gate and field I felt a little exposed and had a strange, creepy feeling. I then decided to call it a day and quickly headed back home. A few days later I saw an article about 1500 sheep disappearing over an evening without a trace at the same location with the gate and field. Local people reported strange red lights over that area. That was my last night ride alone😬
That’s creepy
Damn, took an axe straight to the clavicle. Welcome back to the club. It's a lifetime membership.
I'm looking at that thumbnail thinking, "damn, Bobo got fit." Must be from running from squirrels.
RIP bobo, hopefully I can still use the handup discount code on dope gear after he’s long gone 😉
I never ride alone. If I don't have a riding buddy along then Smith & Wesson is always with me!
This is exactly what it felt like when me and my buddy from Erasmus went for a night hike in a forest with wild boars. Our only lights were the flashlights on our phones. We ran home so fast we didn't stop running.
Great filming/acting, this is so relatable, especially at 1:58. I use to be afraid on long rides, especially when cramping in the middle of the woods with no one around. The cramps are pretty bad. I would have to stop and stretch out for awhile. Then I would hear sounds and my mind would play tricks on me. Thankfully, I have an emtb now and each time I get spook, I would switch to turbo mode and zoom outta there lol
I've been listening to a Dark Ambient playlist on Spotify, I actually thought I forgot to pause it. Nicely done. This almost perfectly describes every single one of my night rides.
Great video! I ride by myself most of the time but don't worry about much. Live each day to the fullest as we never know when it will be our last.
I was impressed with the production quality and then I saw the squirrel LOL that was amazing
1st solo bikepack trip on old re-routed AT trail in VA. Full moon nite ride across the ridge. My cook pot bounces off front pack and bangs across some rocks. Some big ass close animal immediately bounds down the hill lightning quick. You nailed it bobo.. Left a rabbit pile of human turds & never pedaled faster.
I am a solo rider , i could tell stories ... once i was on a 6 hour uphill , 2 hours downhill trip in dense forest , i eat my sandwich without to take out from the plastic bag , to the bears don't get the smell of it , i get lost two times , i had two punctures , the second i could not be able to fix , the dark comes quickly in forest so i filled the tire with pin branches as tight possible and barely reach out from the dark-dark ...
I ride solo basically all the time and can verify that this is 100% accurate.
Cinematographer here, loved it! Kind of missed the black bars and a nice color grade but the fundamentals are definetly there! Also, as a fellow mountainbiker, this was very relatable! Keep it up! Awesome stuff! :D
thanks dude! yeah, i suck at color correction, should've done more with that, and the black letterbox bars would've been sweet too!
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO Don't sweat it man! It's a skill that you hone with practice! A year from now you'll be making some epic grades! :)
wow man, your editing and story telling is so good now! great video !
Haha good one - I was on a nightride alone once where I would swear something ran in the bushes next to me when I rode down the trail no matter how fast I rode - I was really creeped out even though Im a normal sized grown man… Couldnt see or hear anything when I stopped and shone my lights into the forrest 🫣
This was the best horror flick I've seen in decades! Way too relatable...
There’s a stretch in Bald Eagle, PA that every time I pass through it in summer i pick up the pace because my mind is convinced there’s a velociraptor in the ferns 😂
If this ain’t the truth! You can never seem to outrun what you’re scared of! Lol 😂😂
This is how it feels to be trailbuilding alone too, at least when I’m building I have an axe
I get that creepy something is watching me feeling when out alone doing trail work 😬. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride
Awsome story..and brilliant camerawork...
tthat was so good. loved it and you should do more of this tipe of stuff.
Def missed this one, was a great video, thank you BOBO!
🤣🤣🤣 my favorite shots are when there is a Bear head in the woods running after you, so thrilling, lmao. I remember when I was starting riding, I and my gf were a little late before sunset, so ended up in complete darkness in the woods, no even a flashlight.
Had two semi creepy encounters on rides. Both times deep into relatively small forests. On one time it was just an uneasy feeling especially when it started getting dark, because that hits different when you're sorrounded by trees that block most of the daylight. And at another ride I could swear something or someone was following me, prompting me to nope the fuck outta there.
This turned out exceptionally good!! I think you should make more videos like these- the cinematography, acting, writing is all so good!!
I’m laughing hard. This guy cracks me up. What an imagination to come up with this. I love these videos. TY
You know the BETA shorts they play at Sedona MTB festival? This should have been in the mix this year 😂
It can be pretty creepy out on the trails by yourself. Now I may have to reconsider riding alone
Why hasn't someone made a horror movie based on this concept. It probably would be amazing.
Lol... dude, that was really cool. Awesome, keeping making them like that! Differently going to show the guys at work. Thanks😂
Goosebumps make you lighter and faster.
I thought for sure you would have been hitting some big drops that you might have bypassed any other time, lol!
Genius short, sir!
This is all really great film making techniques here, you guys really should think about doing more stuff. If your not skilled, your at least very talented 🙌
Happens with animal encounters in the woods. I lived in a log house in the mountains for a number of years. I took my Stump Jumper out for a run down the mountain side one sunny day. As I approached my driveway gate I heard a Thump … Thump. I looked behind me to see that two black cubs had just jumped down from a tree near me they were climbing. They were curious about me. I looked forward and saw the mama black bear approaching me and her two cubs from bushes she was in. I maintained eye contact with the mama bear and backed away from the cubs and mama, and slowly walked my bike back into the log house. Close call.
absolutely true!
Every once in a while I'll get freaked out on solo night rides after work in the winter. PRs get set by the light of my outbound trail.
yes.. come to the bike park where its safe... Solid content guys!
This video is validation for why I carry concealed when on a solo ride.
Rule of thumb:
Always check the backseat before you get in!
Wow. Great job bobo! Logan was hilarious. Well done to all!
Great storytelling on this one, love your videos man!
Whoah! Is this a BOBO video or a David Attenborough film! Jeez! 😂
Excellent camera work - one of the best - way to step up the quality! Great Story as well - one of the best Bobo Videos!
I lol'd at the old horror movie photography. That was on point!
Love the video. One of your best. Love love love it.
This one was amazing Bobo! I can't wait for this to get millions of views!
Amazing film-work man 🤙
There's one part of my local trail system where I always feel like Im being watched and/or followed. I like the trail but I hate riding it because of that feeling. The rest of the network is manageable but there are a few creepy places I have to ride through and I always make sure to just power through them.
I probably set a PR on that trail the last time I rode it because I was just sprinting to get to the bottom. It could be noon on a Sunday and I still feel uncomfortable there.
I can ride elsewhere in similar conditions and feel completely at peace, it's just that one place.
I ride a lot alone (night & day) and damn I hate that feeling after something (what is not probably anything) just scares the hell out of me and I lose my confidence.
We don't have anything to fear in forests here in Finland, like bears, etc. in the US. Except own imagination - and damn that can be scary!
Pure gold. 90% of the time I ride solo and I can attest with nearly 100% certainty that when you come across folks deep in the mountains here in Washington State they're either A) Stoned, or B) Carrying a shovel.
Or A and B.
I would also like to note that if they made this into a B rated horror movie. I'd watch it. Thumbs up.
😂🤘
Squirrels can be so loud! And the only good thing about those spooked-out adrenaline filled runs is that I realize I'm a lot faster than I thought.
this is a cinematic masterpiece
On the bright side, Bobo finally rode faster without motor assist.
I felt this yesterday when I was still 3 like miles away from the car on a new trail and had about 20 minutes of sunlight left
One of my local trails goes up underneath a highway bridge that crosses a river and lately I have totally expected to find a body dumped over the side of the bridge. The creepy stuff always happens when alone. Thanks Bobo.
One of my local trails goes through a 20 meter old tunnel that is used for drainage under a highway. It is pitch black in the middle and it's terrifying.
Oh my days I have a story
I was riding in the woods when I saw a figure in a white dress with long black hair over her face staring down at the ground in the centre of the path. Said “fuck that I’m out” and at that moment the two identical twin girls who where looking down at a phone for directions looked up and started walking down another path. Scared the absolute living shit out of me
This is so well done! Kudos. Subscribed,
LOL. Surreal. That's why I only solo ride out on weekends.
Friend: i cant go, im still eating lunch, ill catch up :)
Me: Ok, Ill go
Also me:
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYMMMMMMMM!!!!
Bobo you're killin it! Good job man!
Just wow, the sound design on this is amazing
haha, I just rode solo while on vacation and I was the only one on the trail in the morning... every noise I heard, my head was whipping around.
BOBO you just helped create the Jaws Affect for Mountain Bikers LOL! You all did a great job! Look out
That squirrel though... Fear the real killer
the acting is actually amazing
That was comedy and scary all at once ! I knew that was average Kurt he uses that shovel on his cooking channel! Brilliant imagination Bobo
I usually ride XC in the woods, sometimes at night. It can be really scary, seeing all the eyes in the bushes lol
Bravo. Way to be innovative with your riding vid haha
I do solo rides a lot, and especially at night... but man, this gave some anxiety. Awesome job, man!
Youre a maniac!
Incredible!! Videography, editing and mostly the sound! Great job!
Your editing skills have come a looooong way bro, nice
this was cinematic af. well done good sir
Used to go up to Tanasi trail system in TN. At the top, around a blind turn, someone hung a teddy bear in a tree. Damn near shatmeself first time I rounded that corner.
