As I get further and further into this sport I periodically come back to this video and make a mental note of how many more of these checkboxes I'm ticking off. It's getting out of hand.
Same!!!
Haha, yeah, these guys nailed it!
literaly my life
Lol I follow you on pinkbike
Scott Stedman same, i just got a new espresso machine. Im lacking enough flannel shirts and... And i dont have friends so im lacking the edit and photos.
You missed whenever you go anywhere without your bike you always say “man I should have brought my bike” or “this would be awesome to ride on a bike” whenever you’re hiking. This is what I do don’t really know if others do though
Yep, all the time.
You got bored of hiking & wished to mountain bike instead, unless you are photographing or taking more technical trails.
I do this all the time. I just can't go anywhere without wishing I was on my bike.
Morphololologis me haha
All the time
You missed saying "sick" and high-fiving at the end of the ride.
Quinn Brussel Or saying "you ready" before each ride and then fist pumping everyone in the group followed with "YEWWW" shortly after
And some brofist
2:26
Did anyone else have a blurry screen and a ringing?
yeah wtf is that lol, watched this video loads of times before and it's never been there before
Hi
Yea
WTF
@@connorsault3178 what was there before?
WTF...I started riding 6 weeks ago and this video is already a massive truth bomb LOL
You and me both... Just got my bike 2 months ago and so many things hit home
@@christopherdavidson17 I started riding in in 2002 and stopped in 2004 because daddy didn't want to keep fixing my bike. Now I am about to turn 30 and I want to ride! ride ! ryde!
@@CavemanTravels hahaha I stopped at 18 when I found parties and alcohol. Turning 30 this year, and just recently got back into it. So much seems to have changed since then!
ayuh... started because of the shutdown. been less than two months, I have a $6k bike, both shins are constantly bleeding, and I say send it all the time now.
@@samdekker90 Same. 30 seems to be the magic age...
I can't believe this just described my brother point by point... From stickers on everything to flannel, micro-Brewer beer to putting his wife and 1 year-old on a bike, fox shirts to nice events, the need for multiple bikes (although he's broke), turning bedroom into bike-room, carbon and wheel size obsession, video edits and go-pros. Freakin hilarious
JT Aspra can't believe I just saw this comment and laughed so hard...Just saw you downtown this morning haha hope your well
Yea my brother is exactly the same.
The most ubiquitous phrase ... "SEND IT" ... is egregiously missing from the list.
ThatGuyThatDoesStuff i think this video came out before that Canadian guy on his snowmobile went viral.
Traditional military term for calling in artillery or air strikes.
No beacouse is to special for us that is sin to say it if is necessary
ThatGuyThatDoesStuff where are the fisbums 🤜 🤛 ?
Yes, but you have to shout it at the trailhead every single time you drop in
Didn't realize this was 6 years old definitely still applys to 2020
And in 2021
I'm waiting next year to write
Except for 26 inch rims (Unless your talking about dirt jumpers)
@@bikeman8361 how many new bikes still come in 27.5?
@@MrM0nKey79 True, but there are still more than 26 inch
When he said, “have more scars on you’re shins than there are stars in the sky”... I looked down and I was like... well shit
Same 😂
Same also
Also same
Well i have my work cut out time to try the biggest jump!
I remember my friend his legs are jesus crist like he walked in a pile swords, once he was going to his dad for weekend in a village near by and he asked if would like come with him and I said yes we went there and he was building a airsoft n bike storage and a sharp peace of wood hit him in the head I ran as fast as I could half of his face was covered in blood like a goddamn apocalypse is he said he was okay then he saw blood on his shirt he ran to the bathroom covers the cut with a towel and it didn't work he was still bleeding he got stitches
You missed, becoming unreasonably mad at hikers that walk 4 abreast and block the whole trail.
Especially on trails that have jumps back wheel hit someone head
@Bob Jones taken from a semi truck
And not getting their dog out of the way
Especially when you're riding a hiking trail 😂
If ure riding a hiking trail u shld give them the way
You forgot the energy drinks.
*bikers chanting about wanting Red Bull to sponsor them in the distance*
we want energy drinks. aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sarac Productions and the taco after the ride
ΤψΤ JOKER seths bike hacks 101
energy drinks are easily replaced by coffee before the ride and beer right after
You missed: start out with an entry level hardtail and bite off way more than you can chew within the first two weeks by attempting a black diamond trail. Nothing like trial by fire
I knew I'd made a mistake within 2 weeks buying my first bike, I told myself I wouldn't be doing drops or jumps and a £300 hardtail would do me, waste of £300 lol
Where I like to ride they have the black diamond and double black diamond next to each other for jumps decided to ride the black diamond about 3 weeks after getting into mountain biking I landed a little sideways and nearly flew my self into the double black diamond
I mean... I bought a $6k full suspension, but my first ride on my first bike ever was a double black after a week of heavy rain. (kitsuma peak)
I only ate it once... I didn't know the trail, and I saw a jump coming up, pre-loaded, launch was beautiful... fucking trail took a sharp right just behind the "jump" and I flew face first into the side of the mountain. luckily I only jacked up my front brake lever.
greed fox I hooked my tire on something mid corner and wrapped myself around a tree
Haha I'm guilty of this. Month 1 - buy a marlin 6 for £500 and rjn a black run, month 2, spend £300 on upgrades and still can't ride the black run. I'm now at month 3 where I sold it all and bought a Remedy 9 RSL
I seen this video when I was just getting into the sport; I thought this was all fake. A year later, this literally describes my life
how‘s it going 😂?
Mind : watch the video ..
Me : But I have already watched it..
** Clicks on video ** 😂
That is exactly what happened to me
nihal ahammed same
Same
nihal ahammed haha same
JUST watch it.............................
You missed buying a Toyota Tacoma
Thefastbanana 29 Seth?
Or a van
I’m not Seth, but on the right side in my profile picture is my cousin seth
or a 4runner...
dem trees my bad
Got into mountain biking a year ago and I love the self awareness of the scene and that you don't take yourself to seriously.
you forgot that if you ride mtb you have to hate on road cyclists at every occasion
Nah a real biker rides both.
Viking88 that's the funny bit hate on them even if you ride both
Step 0: be a fucking billionaire Step 10: become a millionaire
Yeap everyday I wake up I am making fun of my father's street bike (these wheels are like straws)😂😂😂
nah, you pity them
spend 8 hours taking apart your bike and cleaning it
And not putting it back together
ha ha ha yea
Totally
My bike is is always dirty, even my hybrid bike is dirty! As long as everything works properly, I’m good!
As a mountain biker, this is way more accurate than expected
John Kinely same
Same
"so you ride motorbikes"
Every enduro racer knows this damn too well
Motorbike enduro is cooler than MTB enduro though... I've done both and it's better with an engine
@@DiegoRuiz1991 yeah, if you are going downhill on a mtb then do downhill.
Not to mention mountain biking is a great way to lose weight!
Your wallet will lose A LOT of weight and become lighter. An English friend even said that their wallet lost over 100 pounds!
This is a joke, I am Aussie and an English friend never said that, I made it up. Have a nice day! :)
Lol hahahhaha
700$? I just lost 20 grams!
Actually you don't lose weight with mtb
Lol
You missed "Roast people with Walmart bikes"
well to be fair ... anyone buying a bike from a supermarket or hardware store seriously needs to be warned. These things are often so poorly made that it is dangerous to drive them.
Some german TV channel once did a comparison, and put a 200€ bike in a bikepark. It took around one half ride until both brakes were completely wrecked and before the finish of the very first run, the fork broke into two pieces.
So ... seriously, don't buy the very cheapest crap at anything related to your safety.
I bought a $90 walmart bike to learn trials and it is still alive after 2 seasons of harsh one-eighties. Brakes were pretty good too. But that's definitely an exception.
I actually have a $100 bike from Target lol and it's actually been pretty good, so far the only trouble I had with it was I had to replace its back wheel because it bent a little and the pedal because I tried bending it back by jumping on it lol
I once slipped out on ice riding my cheap Target bike when I was about 12, when I picked the bike up the rear wheel had roughly the same shape as a taco.
doc I
LOL, Carbon is your new addiction, it’s healthier than Cocaine but more expensive.... :) :) :)
Please don't snort the carbon
Lol anyone seen Danny Mckaskill ride up and down stairs with just carvon wheels not with tires?
@@andrewdewitt1320 yes it took so long to break
I just started riding mountain bikes after a 25 year hiatus. I'm glad to see that nothing has changed.
After purchasing your bike you will immediately find it is no different than any other technology where as there will be a new model seemingly days after you buy your model. This model will be exactly the same but will seem more appealing.
Macaiah Snow
Only the colour has change😂
M6000-7000 in a nutshell
You missed taking a picture of your bike leaning on something every time you ride.
BLAS shot! Required!
phantom stick plz
Nothing beats finding that perfect stick to stand your bike on
Make sure the dropper post is in it's highest position too..
Buy a very expensive bike rack, there are probably no good places to ride near your house.
hahaha True Sh!t!!! xD
Unless you live in the Bay Area, it's awesome
CNT 2C56 I just put my bike in the back of whatever car I'm taking. For my jeep, I have to remove the back seat and take off the bike wheels and basically build a bike at the trail
Get a pick up or van
yeah shoreline is the best
Who else has watched this a million times
me all the way
Step 30: All your shopping is now done on Craigslist and or PinkBike
Will we make it to one million?!
You're friggin right you will!
may be!!! your comment is too inspirative
done :D
done sir !
we did it
i am divorced, but soon i will get my new enduro bike... life is good
A wise man once told me: "Life is what happens after your first divorce brobeans"
@@asbjrnmelchiorhansen2007 A truly wise man indeed, as it is so damn true! If you can manage to keep your identity AND your first wife, then great, but it is rare. Truly awesome video btw.
Klasu 😂
@@MrMikey1703 why getting married in the first place?
Is it being wierd when it gets to step 18, like blurry with a single tone, then normal right at 19? Never been like that before.
Just happened to me and I saw nobody else talking about it
Too
There used to be a joke here that said “ this is a trap” and showed a lip/jump then said “ and this is a trap” and it showed one of them wearing a wig. Pretty sure either they censored it out or youtube censored it
Yea that was weird
yea its weird
Well I'm a Downhiller and I do love flannel shirts and I hate 29inch wheels and I love stickers and love coffee!
I'm an XC and small time enduro rider, love 29ers, own more checkered shirts then is socially acceptable for a European country and spend an inordinate amount on fair trade coffee. I guess somethings don't change across riders.
27.5inch for the winn
Im a downhill rider and I wear normal shirts...
How dare you!
26" for life.
"Step 16: Convert bedroom into bike storage" Very accurate shot film, lmao! XD :D
You missed
Drink an astonishing amount of energy drinks like:
Red bull
Monster
Rockstar
Full throtle
Nos
Sometimes gatorade
Mega Energy
Charge
EngineHead Commentates and bang
Then I will die sooner and cant get enough milage on the bike!
"Although healthier than cocaine"... starts sniffing lines of carbon powder
Uses 200mm lens for close up of leaf. 😂
"How to be a politician". Show no mercy.
Pleasee
MrSottobanco an indian politician would be fun
*walks away crying with hardtail*
GE90 hardtails for life
d55 *rides away with hardtail* theres nothing to cry about owning a hardtail. hardtails are the best
I know! I was joking because there was only full suspensions in the vid!
d55 oh, its all good then :D
that was one of the fastest replies I have ever seen
Shady Vladimir I am extremely bored
You forgot the countless hours we spend on talking about the dirt
i always talk about dirt with my gf and she has no idea what i’m talking about
Wow, what a great price, i just saved 20 grams!
The vid is perfect but you miss step 0 "be a fucking millionaire"
For real! Bicycles are ridiculously expensive!!!
+117rebel I spent 1800 on my dirt bike and has loved it since, idk how I even ended up on a mountain bike video
12k on my Enduro...
+Viking88 Which bike do you ride?
A EC2 king pro hahaha
This is freaking funny cause it's like... Mostly true
Seth Gingerich I find it funny because I take it so seriously, and this glosses over it like my mom would. I'm happier that I take it seriously so I don't really mind other's opinions.
"Is that a 29er? Ugh"
MTB Industry: *Hold my Craft IPA*
Bro, this video is good for people who love MTB.🤘
Why have I watched this 10 times over the past 3 years?
Because it is still funny!
"Now pick your favorite size and be a dick about it" That was the best part! I was dying.
2:25 jesus christ i tought my time had come
bro fr 💀
whats happened
It's the great calling
same dude, i was home alone a shit and i thought i was gonna die
it isn't there anymore though.
you nailed me with the going out fox shirt.
I literally just came back from the woods and cleaned my entire bike with a brush in order to be abled to put it back in my living room without turning every peace of floor in the house into wood flooring ...
Maybe I should reconsider my life choices :D
Stryke LOL, i do the same thing. Sometimes i go to a carwash :P
This is amazing, I’m about 90% of that. Although you missed “owning enough spare parts to build a completely new bike”. Great video!
Reply
1:29 edit with lenscap ? Sick
This is SO perfect. I mean, on all points. Damn, I gotta check myself.
The production quality of this for 7 years ago is amazing
Absolutely ! 👌👌
you missed "NO HELMET NO RIDE"
I think it was satire but I'm not sure.
Puzzy
@@TheDylan518 ztupyd
NO HELMET NO RESPECT
@@willbennett7107 whenever you see a hotshot with no helmet berate them until they go home trust me it may not seem like it then Burt you may have saved that man life
This vid was the case for me in the early 2000s lol some things never change. Great job!
How to be a Paintballer! That should be the next video you make
They don't play paintball
Do they only do the activities that they do?
"Step 2 fail to reload your hopper by dropping your paintballs on the ground"
"Step 5. Spend more money on Paintball gear than you do on your girlfriends birthday presents"
Joshua Clement Step 7, Go to PSP and spend even more of your retirement fund.
forgot to say that the hospital is your best friend
I am a "Chick" Mountain Biker who rides as much, if not more, than my boyfriend. Both of our houses are overflowing with bikes, bike parts, bike clothing, bike racks, bike gear, bike shit! Every trip we take revolves around bike trails, and bike parks. Loved the video, and can relate to most of it!
I've been mountain biking since i was born- this is so true
Also you missed the parts about crashing like face planting, rolling over a pine cone, rolling over rocks, Going over corners, falling off the side of the track, face planting and your bike landing on you and much more
I was just watching a bunch of videos about horror and step 18 got me so on edge
You doesnt even reach the ROAD-Bike Parts...
but as a fellow cyclist , I APPROVE! :D
p.s: you forgot to mention MTB Hardtail! >:/
We didn't forget hardtails. It's in there!
And you should probably watch our "How to be a Road Biker" video next.
you doesnt even english
+Martinus what?
Quantum Light he said "You doesnt even reach the ROAD-Bike Parts.." lol
north shore
ok, this is literally my life. Every single thing in this video is totally accurate
steps 18 and 19 were my favorites
This is scary. Its actually me.
No matter what your riding level or your frequency of riding, always buy the most expensive, mtb-specific outfit...try to look as factory as possible.
i did all that and my girlfriend is still with me - so i win like a sticker bro? Gnarly lol
You forgot the part where you get too confident and then crash in a result
And have nightmares about the crash.
Wow good info i have been MTN riding a long time and never felt really part of the scene, now i know what to do to become the complete MTN biker thanks again.
Buy a bike: buy a bike thats more expensive than your car. Then buy 5 more. hahhahahhha
you missed the bruising, cutting, scratching breaking, fracturing and scaring every part of your body that isn't covered when you crash.
And ligaments, lots of ligaments
I just snapped my ACL on a pump track now I have to have an op
hey hermeez how's your leg doing now a days?
Alluded to when he said more scars on your chins than stars in the sky.
i'm trying to get into the sport. i'll be adding this to my essential mountain biking tips playlist, thanks.
The Chick' Version (add ons to Original:) Taking pride in coveted Dirt Tan, bike shorts tan lines, bruised shins, calloused hands, owning large calves, and solid quads, unable to fit into women's jeans properly because you actually have muscles in your legs AND an ass! Teasing those with noob grease tattoos, raving about singletrack like it was a designer drug, eyes lighting up for blue anodized nipples, realising it's ok to 'farmer blow', gaining a huge collection of racing T-shirts that are too big for you cuz they're always mens sizes, checking rims, tires, nipples and tubes for grams, (rolling weight!!) mastering the art of home made energy bars, spending more cash on night lights than rent, making sure your boyfriend is mechanically inclined AND rides, so he can be training partner AND tech support at the races you're kicking ass in ~ and any city, town, hamlet you travel to ~ the first place you go is the local bike shop to meet your friends for life.
Is that a 29er? ugh! lololol
2:26 I’ve watched this 20 times but this is the first time I noticed this?
Yh I noticed that too
I keep coming back to this video to share it with people as I get them hooked on mountain biking, but always, always have to watch it again myself.
Where can I find such an amazing forests like this one?
*laughs in global warming*
Northern Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Best forests in the country.
It's true, all of it!
my favorite smell is that one from WD-40
Yevhenii Marchenko I think Balistol smeels better :D
Dirty Fotz brake cleaner
Yevhenii Marchenko hmm... brake cleaner is a little bit to strong :-/
Yevhenii Marchenko 8
I get that smell from working on my motorcycle too )
2 products needed for servicing, WD-40 and Blue Locktight
I got my first bike 2 weeks old it was rad fun I love your videos I watch them every day you are the best
2:25 couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from and thought I was haunted lmao

Step 11:
Remember to take of your lens cap while filming mountain bikers (1:29)
, 99rrgj9
2:26 brought shit out of me!
Hi from France ! I definitely love that video
Thank you sooooo much now I can be a freaking awesome mountain biker
you fit 28 stereotypes into 4 minuets. way to go!
step 29 is the most important one.
step 11, Make sure you photographer friend takes the lens cap off
This video is still spot on for being a decade old
Step 18 is my favourite.
Step 1 - check
Step 2 - check
...
Step 29 - check
I thought I had at least some personality
You made me aware of my carbon addiction. It's real bad.
This shred dawg! I'm stoked to watch the rest of your gnarly videos while I learn more thrashing MTB lingo.
30- start hating roadbikers
31- clean your bike every friday
32- think about suicide when you broke a part of your bike
33- break at least one of your bones
34- get a playlist of cool songs on your iPod which you hear while youre riding
35- laught about soccer
36- become hulk if some one touches your bike without your premisssion
37- watch the rampage
38- get an mtb-paragon
this are the steps that are important for me (iam working on point 33)
done :D
yes 30,31, are ok not sure about the rest?
Im recovering from point 33
The smell of cedar is enhanced if you scratch it first BTW
My bikes more expensive then my car, I too have fox shirts and stickers, my mom is the same way, I rode non stop after my gf broke up with me. Lol spot on life of a mountain biker. Forgot one thing though. We always hate on road bikers. xD
This has been out for 9 years and I’ve watched this at least 5 times a year
“29er ehh” is the rudest thing I’ve ever heard a Canadian say
Fuck 29ers
@@argonhel710 29ers are awesome
Argon Hel you probably ride 27.5 or something weird like that
If you have a full suspension, you can't critique a 29er hard tail!
Wow I'm a mountain biker and started a UA-cam chanel for it. Great video, so relatable! 😂😂😂
Step 18 the forbidden knowledge
This Video is What Made me So Addicted on Cross Country Biking!!!
You don't know how kuch happiness I've Discovered because of this!
