I Don’t Have the Courage for This…

  • I love to send big features, but mountain biking isn't all about jumps or drops. And sometimes I don’t have the courage…especially scary technical features! Our adventure began in Queenstown and continued to Maydena Bike Park, which is possibly Australia's best bike park. It was stressful! However, our ride ended with perfect jumps at Meadowbank.

    From cursing out a stone to jumping over the fence, YUKA'S THE BEST!

    Yuka: _"I know my limit."_
    Also Yuka: _apparently has no limits!_

    It's crazy how mental the sport of mountain biking is. You can get hung up on small things like that rock, when your confidence is low, then go and send a sizeable fence gap after! Nice riding Yuka.

    I really respect and admire you and your husband... to be able to be together 24/7/365 in a tiny living quarters and not be at each other's throat. I went on the road for a month with my boyfriend at the time and we only got along maybe 50% of the time. I learned that I need my space. When you have arguments, you can't sleep or "need space" in another room nor be able to say I'm going to work lol. I've seen RV couples (not Van) on CZcams eventually separate/break up after a few years.... It's just tough for many couples. Props to you both for doing what you're doing and staying strong as a couple. Blessings and love to you both 💜

      Everyone needs their own space. Sometimes it’s hard but we had to figure out how to not kill each other in a van🤣

      when the location of the nearest hospital creeps into the your mind, that's when your know it's time to start walking!

    That fence jump was awesome! I laughed so hard when you pointed out the rock that your front tire rolled off and made you crash. Glad there was no injury.

  • @philippposer7947
    @philippposer7947 Před rokem +9

    This was so interesting to watch because for me I just love to cruise through technical sections like those where you were stressed but then when it comes to a jump you seem fearless and have a lot of fun while I get completely stressed out on a tiny jump. Also great video!

  • @gripitsg
    @gripitsg Před rokem +6

    Maydena is so sick, I went early this year and I think you where smart pulling back a bit when you got tired, I had the problem where I only had one day there so I tried doing as much as I could in one day and ended up breaking my arm on a super easy feature as a result

    Been mountain biking since I was a teenager, and I've never ridden any big jumps or drops and the only jumps I do are pretty small. Seems like there are enough trails out there to suit everyone's riding style. No reason to do stuff that makes you nervous. 👍

  • @ridgebackdk
    @ridgebackdk Před rokem +2

    always impressed with how yuka overcomes fears .. we all know how ability is one thing but the mental aspect is the most difficult part to overcome . the older i get the less risk i take and i hate it , in my 50s now and getting it wrong just seems to hurt longer and way more lol. i love riding i dont want to quit but the risk reward part has changed for me .... its all in my head and that is most of the problem

    @donaldmcnulty Před rokem

    Hi Yuka,
    It is good tosee you are still riding. I must say, your heart doesn’t seem in it. I know what it is like to get hurt, and trying to make s come back. It happened to me with motocross, i hurt my back, i broke my knee ligaments, and even broke both wrist. But I persevered, and i took it easy, until my confidence began to grow. I think you persevering, and regaining your confidence will make you a better rider than before. I must say, when you did that gap fence jump, that was totally gnarly! Never forget, you were once a bad ass mountain biker, and you can be again, if this is what you want. Cheers from the US, take care Don

    11:37 I just started in MTB and the worst thing that happened to me so far is hitting a rock like this while resetting to try again on a technical climb. I guess it's a lesson that you can never let your guard down, even in the parking lot 😅

  • @zackpipkinMTB
    @zackpipkinMTB Před rokem

    Hey Yuka!! Love this video, as much as all your others, you are one of my favorite CZcamsrs!! It's amazing to have watched you go from being a shy, timid MTBer who thought twice about every feature, to overcoming your fears and absolutely sending it!! Nice job!! Do you remember when you and your husband Eric went to a private bike park in Georgia, USA called Jarrod's Place? Well guess what... Jarrod's Place is now a full-fledged shuttle access bike park with close to 20 dedicated downhill trails from steep, off-camber, technical, to fast, flowy, a-line style jump lines. I know you're planning to be in Aussie for a while but once you make it back to the states you gotta hit that place up. I also just posted my first CZcams video showcasing a few of those trails if you checked it out that would be amazing!! Keep on sending it Yuka and #neverstopshredding

    I heard you guys were in Tassie around the same time we were. Maybe even at Maydena (19-21 Feb)? Skyline and Tea Trees claimed a few of my tyres and Styx and stones almost claimed me at the very top but what a great trail. I'm releasing individual trails weekly if you'd like to relive some of your trip. Thanks for the awesome content! Heard you caught up with Aidan from Bicycle Curious in Derby, too.

  • @50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5

    I mean I get it that we all get stressed, but damn if it gets that bad then it's time to rethink the trail choices, lol! Mountain biking is suppose to be fun, and I get it that we all want to progress...but at some point the risk vs reward isn't worth it. Thanks for sharing the real life mtb struggles!
