I have true admiration for how you interact with kids here and at the pump track and elsewhere, getting them all pumped up and motivated and overcoming their fears. I feel you have a real talent there that you may be overlooking a bit? Anyway great vid as always:)!!
I second the above statement.
@@EriebyCycle agreed!
This more than anything defines the essence of biking.
You were the biggest kid on the pump track. Pure joy!
This is the way I feel every time I get on a bike!
About 10 min pedal from my place, there is a community bike park. It's definitely geared towards kids and building skills. I find myself there all the time, riding, for whenever I don't feel like going out for a huge effort on the bike. Nothing better than skills session of fun easy features.
Those kids and the homemade pump track was great. There was always some sort of half arsed BMX track in the woods somewhere when I was a kid. That segment made my day.
Absolutely agree! another great place to learn is you have one available near you (and they are ok with you riding in it) is a construction site in which they are still doing grading work (moving the dirt)
I totally loved the drone chase Interstellar vibes at 6:17 🤩🚀
Perfect excuse to buy that Norton. Skate park build
Cool clip man! Keep inspiring!!
Dude i freaking love your channel
Another great video man!! Nice that you are featuring local spots
Not when there are people around. My "bike skills" (bunny hopping, manualing, handsfreeing... etc.) are so poor or non-existent that I'd die of embarrassment.
Eric, have you tried the skatepark in Speyfield? It is very circular and swoopy in design. Also, the high-speed gravel trails of Long Lake Provincial Park are nearby.
Solid point. I'm in no place to practice technique after a ride when I'm exhausted.
Thanks for doing this on the Norton, I always think about playing around on skate parks but feel my hardtail is too big, 27.5 but in XL. Practicing on those kinds of features might be doable so next time I pass one that’s not too full with scooters and skaters I might give it a go although one on my training route is just a bowl I have no idea how to drop into! 🤣
That instagram video was probably SuperRiderTV 😅
I love the Norton in white. How come it's not available on the Poseidon site?
Dang, I was hoping those features were in Dartmouth.
What size Norton do you ride for reference?
Hell ya brother
I remember an interviewer asking Missy Giove: "how did you became so fast?!"
She answered: "idk man I just ride my bike a fking lot"
Eh 😂
So your saying if you put drop bars on your Norton you could use a skate park to get you used to riding it?
side note, this video with the kids portion was extremely heart warming.
If you go to a skate park bring more weed than you would mtbing
