Four BIG Upgrades to Owen's Bike!

Upgrading Owen's Dirt Jump Bike! Last year we turned my son Owen's 24" MTB into a full on dirt jumper, he's been loving it, but some of the parts were holding back, so we fixed them!

I bet Seth was shaking his head at the twin screwdriver action! Always love the content and wow how much has Owen grown!!

Is it just me, or does this guy look like the dad in Outdoor Boys.

[isaacwinton]

"I like working on bikes with you Owen". Dude, when you said that then looked down at Owen - I could feel that love through my tv screen!

I have 2 buys (3 and 5) and we watch and love your channel! So much proud dad inspo.

Your boys are lucky to have a dad who loves spending time with them! Good job brother.

Always good to see groms with good taste in music! One of my Cubs is a big Green Day/Fall Out Boy fan, which is pretty cool in a young'in, but I reckon O's got him beat if he's up there with Maiden!

I love Owen's attitude and chatter in these videos, he has a natural on-camera presence. His face when he got his hands on that sawzall though... 😂

Your piece at the end about pacing progression is absolutely spot-on, I've frequently shown clips from some of your videos to the kids I ride with when they're either trying to go too big too soon or getting frustrated because it's "taking too long" to progress. You guys explain and demonstrate so well the value of taking the time to learn and get comfortable before going bigger or faster, and they listen to you better than they do me! 😂🙄

Awesome video. It’s great that you are teaching your son to work on his bike

Nice to see another video in a while, Samox is something I have not heard since owning my Marin San Quentin bike, and it's sweet to the DJ given some major changes.

Cutting the bars with the sawzall reminds me of that day when you were cutting screws out of the ramp using the chainsaw… 😂 sports beers!

Transfering to the big landing was sick. You should send the big lip into the small landing for some step down action.

Proud to say I still have an Iron Horse Porter in the garage!

[doctajuice]

Love the ode to death on that porter mtb shirt

[solomonpalmer]

So you may not know it but I’m actually your lost son so could you take me?

[michaelfleming]

On wrenching the bike pedals, I always look at it with the wrench at 1200 and say “Back Off!”. It makes it easy to remember. I got confused listening to your description, so others might also. 😂

I know you probably won't see this but i wanted to let you know how awesome you channel is and how you have inspired me throughout my MTB journey. Thank you!!!

[sketchypanzer]

Love that Less than jake shirt so cool to see other people loving itt

[CinimodMG]

My kids and I were so excited when we saw this video! Loved it!!!

[conorlockwood]

Wicked good stuff! You’re doing an excellent job teaching. Definitely gets me more stoked to wrench and ride with my boy this season. I’m Still grateful for the lessons and time riding with you, Aaron, Kyle, and the rest of the crew when I was a grom. Keep it real and hope to run into you and your fam if you’re up north.

Nice video. Welcome back. I'm not good with a saws-all. So, I use a plumbers cutter instead for my handlebars and seatposts.

[fnnja]

[matswilloch]

I love your videos Eric ! keep up the good work, excited for what's to come !

Another Porter video, time to feel really bad about my forearms for a while.
