It's been said that "everyone needs an Antoine" but what's been forgotten or not realised, is that everyone needs a Yuka too! Fantastic effort out there Yuka & congrats on making those jumps!
Way to face your fears, Eric! Great work. I know how frustrating it is being scared of something we know we have the skills to ride safely. Keep up the great work, Eric and Yuka!
I've watched you and Erics channels for years, and can Remember when his tires would rarely leave the ground, and now both you to have progressed soo much, sending some frightening stuff with determination and ease, you two are an inspiration to challenge myself on the trails, thanks!!🤘
"If Yuka can do it, you can do it!" That sounds like a perfect channel motto. Watching you certainly helps give me confidence as well! There's something to be said for watching a channel that ISNT a pro mountain biker getting through on skill built up over years, but instead someone who gets through on confidence and positive attitude, and absolutely sends CRAZY features! 👍
No no no just because you can do it doesn't mean anyone else can do it I'm not going to go ride my bike when my brakes are failing down a rock slab on a side of a mountain like she did..
@@danshilling4240 i guess Im not familiar with when she did that. I certainly dont recommend riding above your ability and definitely 100% dont mess around with safety equipment like brakes, helmets, and tires. However the stuff she did here was obviously within her ability, and within her husbands, the difference was that she had confidence and he didnt (at first).
@@JD-ub5ic she said in her video that she knew her brakes were acting weird and she felt that they were failing and still went down that slab of Rock she's extremely lucky
Another great video Yuka. You are officially "Yuka the Courageous." I often watch riders who are more skilled than you here on UA-cam. But I rarely watch ANY riders with more courage than you. This skill is very elite and one that most of us struggle with...even your own husband. Your warrior mentality inspires me in my own riding to be brave when I know that I have the skill. Thank you Yuka!
i live right by the bike park and i did the first two on a 26 inch hard tail that is two sises to small with 100 mill travel i am sad that i missed you
Absolutely! I was afraid of this feature in Delta called the gravity bowl with a decent lip/jump that sends you air born!! But I finally did it, now it has become easy for me 😀
Excellent progress you two! Sometimes a little stoke goes a long way to helping other people level up. I remember the first time I did a large drop (Angel Fire)... watched a few times... got towed in.. and then just did it. I wouldn't have done it without help! While I was ready skill wise, mentally I wasn't quite there. Good on you for serving as inspiration!
0:43 wow an og biking at grouse photo! Do you guys remember when that was? I worked there 9 years ago and even then it was a thing of the past, cool to see some evidence that it did, in fact, exist and have some regular people visiting! Typically all you find online about it is when they hosted a uci MTB race around 2001. Probably not that feasible in terms of getting footage, but I think a video about past BC bike parks could be quite interesting!
There is so much mental game to riding. I totally understand how your brain will need to Click before certain features. Stoked for Eric to have nailed those jumps! Sweet!
Awesome video!! Those jumps were always really hard to clear my first time as well, and I'm so glad that both of you were able to get them all in just one session, great job!
Hey Yuka! I love you and Eric’s channel! I don’t know if you know yet but the old Jarrod’s Place is gone and he reopened a new one in Summerville, GA. It’s shuttle access now. There are 3 Dbl Blacks, 3 Single Blacks, 3 Blues, 3 Greens so far. Check out the footage on UA-cam and please make a visit when you are back in the south!
I have seen the videos in new Jarrod’s place. It’s sad we haven’t conquered the all jumps in old Jarrod’s place but the new place looks very awesome✨ can’t wait to visit there again😁
Such a great channel concept! The skill vs bravery dynamic between you is really interesting. Well done both of you. I look forward to your next episode 👍👍 (ps when i say "skill vs bravery" i mean comparatively as you both clearly have these attributes in spades!)
Great video. You are an excellent story teller, Yuka. I always thought of you guys as an unstoppable force. It's inspirational to see seasoned riders overcome similar struggles. Makes me feel hopeful that I too will overcome the things that scare me.
Great to see Eric overcome his fears and achieve success on that jump line. Oddly enough, I find wooden lips easier to launch off of became they're solid and consistent unlike dirt lips which can vary based on weather conditions etc.
It's pretty cool that you guys were in anchorage. I live in anchorage and I bike the trail a lot. But it's been awhile. Pretty cool seeing you guys up here.
@@VanGirlYuka Yeah it has rained a lot this year. And hilltop is a really nice place to bike. I haven't got the chance to bike at the new bike park yet due to work. It would've been cool to meet you guys if I knee you guys were up here. I have watched most of your videos and BCPOV'S videos also. You guys are cool. Keep up the good work.
Such a good video! I still have a very low desire to do jumps, cause I broke my hand on a micro jump once (and then I couldn't ride for a long time, I didn't care about the pain)... but that's ok I can have fun doing other stuff on the bike...
So cool to see Alaska trails and Hilltop in a UA-cam channel! If you guys are still tripping around here, we need to get you some salmon to convince you to stay a while longer!
This is interesting to watch, because I have never thought about differentiating between wooden and dirt lips. Always thought that if the angle of the takeoff is good and the wood is sturdy then it just doesn't matter.
Probably it doesn't mater for many people. we just aren't used to them! I can't think of any jumps that has wooden lips in Whistler bike park (except Crankworks stunts) I kinda like them though...
Hi honey, thanks for mentioning my 106 attempts - TWICE. 😅
It’s very important. It took time to count your attempts 👍
🤣😂 as asian were specific and detailed its culture thing 😉
So glad that that Donkey Kong bear didn't throw a banana and u made to the next level.
I love that you guys film your experiences together - and win the mental battles together, too! You guys are awesome.
Lol
"We just need to override the memories of our failures with the memories of our success." Quote of the day. Thanks Yuka and Eric.
Exactly what I was going to write!! Yuka.... my hero!
that's a solid one
It's been said that "everyone needs an Antoine" but what's been forgotten or not realised, is that everyone needs a Yuka too! Fantastic effort out there Yuka & congrats on making those jumps!
I miss riding with Antoine…but we have to grow up 😭
@@VanGirlYuka did you see Antoine crazy save on Shale Master in Whistler?
Awesome video Yuka!! It was so much fun riding with you guys. Thank you for the confidence boost as well! 🤘🏼🥳
You made our day for sure! Let us know when you’re coming to Whistler😁
@@VanGirlYuka Oh for sure! Hopefully in 2023!
Way to face your fears, Eric! Great work. I know how frustrating it is being scared of something we know we have the skills to ride safely. Keep up the great work, Eric and Yuka!
this is the hardest part but I love seeing it. I have a few of these myself.

Way to go! You need some 'Yuka would hit it' stickers and merch.
Another great video Yuka. You are officially "Yuka the Courageous." I often watch riders who are more skilled than you here on UA-cam. But I rarely watch ANY riders with more courage than you.

@UCaAN97FJhh-GOGuBejcGSpA Hi Yuka, what surprise?
You are such a good person Yuka ! Eric seems very happy thanks to you. 🙏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽
Such a positive lesson! Nice work to all the riders that day.
Another great video Yuka. Thank you!
Love the new video! Makes my day watching them, keep it up!!!!
Thank you for watching 😁
i live right by the bike park and i did the first two on a 26 inch hard tail that is two sises to small with 100 mill travel i am sad that i missed you
Its tough to overcome your fear,but once you hit it the first time,excitement takes over 👍
Absolutely! I was afraid of this feature in Delta called the gravity bowl with a decent lip/jump that sends you air born!! But I finally did it, now it has become easy for me 😀
I love that feelings 🤩
YESSS so stoked for you both. Amazing riders, so glad Eric hit those jumps.
Me too😁✨
Overcoming fears!!
Respect!
You got a way with words Yuka! Such a good story teller!! Well done Eric on the progress mate!!! Woot woot!!!
A little confidence is always needed. Nice to watch you guys continue showing and enjoying the jump rides
Another GREAT video. Great job leading the boyz. And also just recognizing that MTB has both physical AND mental challenges that must be mastered.
I'll never be as good as both of you. So good! So fun!
Excellent progress you two! Sometimes a little stoke goes a long way to helping other people level up.

Yuka you are the greatest.
The storytelling in this video is really really great! Good stuff.
This was such a good episode. I'm rooting for both of you! You guys are amazing, thanks Yuka!
Another amazing video Yuka!
Courage queen. You rock!!’
It's true you do inspire confidence. I've tried a lot more things since I've been following you. 😊
Just so inspiring. Thank you!
Heckkkk yea you guys killed it🤘🤘
Beautiful video
Yuka - you are an absolute beast. Also, I love the dynamic of support and encouragement you and Eric have.
" The wave of power from the atmosphere". Much respect for sharing that.
Wow Yuka! You are fearless! I love your videos
It was awesome watching you guys clear those jumps!! Now I know why you had so many GoPro's and cameras hahaha
Awesome video! Love seeing you guys succeed!
So you are a confidence woman? oh wait that's not what it means😁
Sweet progression. I've never done anything that big.
There is so much mental game to riding. I totally understand how your brain will need to Click before certain features. Stoked for Eric to have nailed those jumps! Sweet!
I will never cheer as loud for the top tier extreme mountainbikers as I do for Eric conquering his nemeses. I need this in my life.
Awesome video!! Those jumps were always really hard to clear my first time as well, and I'm so glad that both of you were able to get them all in just one session, great job!
I still couldn’t clear the third one…very sad
Woke up to a Van Girl Yuka video, now I know it's going to be a good day!
I hope you have a great day 😁
Great work on those jumps, such a positive video!

Awesome video! I'm so stoked that there's a lift access bike park at Hilltop now!
it's pretty new but they were building trails like crazy!
Love ya'll(s) vids! You both have helped my jumping tremendously!
Way to go. Really enjoy y’all’s videos
Such a great channel concept! The skill vs bravery dynamic between you is really interesting. Well done both of you. I look forward to your next episode 👍👍 (ps when i say "skill vs bravery" i mean comparatively as you both clearly have these attributes in spades!)
Awesome video! You picked a great summer to check out Alaska! Hope you guys enjoyed it.
待ってました〜、JAPANからこんばんは😍
いつも和訳😁で楽しく拝見しています。もちろんエリックさんの動画もチェックしてますよ～。私のようなスキルアップコースレベル向けの動画も宜しくお願い致します🙏
Great video. You are an excellent story teller, Yuka. I always thought of you guys as an unstoppable force. It's inspirational to see seasoned riders overcome similar struggles. Makes me feel hopeful that I too will overcome the things that scare me.
I know you and Cory are hitting amazing stuff and that made me want to go ride there too👍✨
@@VanGirlYuka 😊
"I can pop more than you... you just have more courage" wooow really kind words!
00:42 you guys met in the best way, and in my opinion the best place - New Zealand! 😎
We’d love to go back there again ✨
I want “Yukan do it!” on a merch. :)
Yuka is inspiring the world to be awesome!
Great to see Eric overcome his fears and achieve success on that jump line. Oddly enough, I find wooden lips easier to launch off of became they're solid and consistent unlike dirt lips which can vary based on weather conditions etc.
Great video Yuka- awesome to watch you two as a team overcome your fears. Couple goals 👏👍🏽
You're the best Yuka! Thank you both for the motivation.
How do I double like? It was such a great moment when you guys called each other awesome!
Fly hight Yuka 👌🤟🚀
You go YUKA! Rocked the jumps!
hey yuka, just wanted to say your vids are so addictive to watch keeping me interested every second of it, keep up the content 😄👍👍
great video. thanks for giving us courage 🥰
Heck yeah! Nice work Eric!
Yuka is a great hype lady!
It's pretty cool that you guys were in anchorage. I live in anchorage and I bike the trail a lot. But it's been awhile. Pretty cool seeing you guys up here.
A great bike park! but it's just rain a lot in Anchorage area! ...I know this year was exceptionally rained a lot.
@@VanGirlYuka Yeah it has rained a lot this year. And hilltop is a really nice place to bike. I haven't got the chance to bike at the new bike park yet due to work.

Congrats to both of you! Great job all the way around.
Awesome video! You two inspire me to keep trying to get better.
I love the storytelling and sound design
Go Eric!
Well done Yuka well you are fantastic
Nice video, I can’t do that, so scared
Great video! Brave and Heart-warming! You guys are awesome!
Nice video... Yuka can Do ;You can do !!✌✌
Love your videos, they give me confidence!
I was a bit terrified to watch this video, but Yuka gave me muscles to push through it. 💪
"What about the next one?"..Eric laughs nervously
I’m sub’d and sticking around for a while. Perfect video.
Yuka- you are my mtb hero!!!!!!
Such a good video! I still have a very low desire to do jumps, cause I broke my hand on a micro jump once (and then I couldn't ride for a long time, I didn't care about the pain)... but that's ok I can have fun doing other stuff on the bike...
While sitting at my desk trying to get work done I had to watch your video. I wish I could be out riding
I hope you are out there and riding now 😁
Loved the whole video and commentary but it’s the last bit about failure and success that really stuck
What would that be?
So cool to see Alaska trails and Hilltop in a UA-cam channel! If you guys are still tripping around here, we need to get you some salmon to convince you to stay a while longer!
We’ve left…because it was raining non stop!! What’s going on Alaska??
I love how you rub in 106 times, I laughed everytime. Go Eric !!! you did it
it wasn't 20 times or 50 times. It was 106 times. oh Eric...
Good job Eric!! Yuka, you are good at your job! :)
Good job you guys! Remember, YUKAN DO IT!!👍😄😄😄
this was awesome great job on those jumps!
you should defiantly check out Post Canyon in hood river Oregon
My trick is im too lazy to walk back up the hill 😅 had a nasty crash with that attitude and haven't ridden since
You did Awesome!!! --> YOU did Awesome!! lol so wholesome
Erics laugh tells it all.....
great video....thanks for posting

So SICK GOOD JOB !!!
Excellent...
This was a great video!
Thank you Danica! I think you'll love that jump too😘
So cute :) pls upload more often
