Even without the fact that you've got such extensive expertise to teach the boy, this is just damn good parenting. Teaching him and showing understanding and support. Spending time with him and being a positive role model. I have more respect for you now than your riding ability ever gave.
River hit the lottery as far as having a great stepfather, and Matt hit the lottery as far as having a great stepson. Never mind, Matt is a pro MTB rider. Love that you're there encouraging, pushing, and loving River. And to have 3 great step "Uncs" in Juno, Jamie, and Ben... excited to see River's progression over the next couple of years as he grows into his body.
@@Dizzy.peaks1 people always gotta be argumentative depressing fuckers, you can have more than one father figure. no one is saying matt is replacing anyone.
You can tell that in 12 months, we'll be watching videos of River absolutely killing it. These kids can progress so fast, especially with teacher Matt!
Matt, I'm down here in Florida and currently all I have is my Trek Roscoe 9 hardtail. But seeing you work with him is motivating me to try to save and get a dirt jumper because I have a BMX background and at the end of the day the trails and skatepark are always going to be a part of me. Keep doing what you're doing Matt, love the progression and love seeing Jamie. He's the s*** too
Hey Matt I have been a massive fan of you and I live down here in Australia and I am pretty young and river is a very talented and from all Of your videos I have been saving up for a Marin Alcatraz 1. Love your video
you know i watched like a whole summer of playground videos before realizing matt is a pro rider. this is the only bike channel i watch. the way the dirt ramps looked was just amazing so clean.
Hey I might be wrong but I think the lockdown series was when I subbed to you and I want to thank you because you have given many life lessons without realizing it and just know you are going to be the best father ever
River great work lad and congratulations on joining the back flip club Matt great tuition and its so much easier to teach them youngsters when they listen like River does.👍👍
Get in river! Couldnt have had a better teacher and the bonding that will have made for them will be for life! He will never forget his first backflip with matt! Congrats river now flip tucks!
Nice work River! Absolute legend move! I did my first flip to foam in 6 years last week, just need to convince my 44 year old body that I can still do one to resi if I commit, I just dont bounce like I used to!
Heartwarming mate, it's great to see the encouragement and confidence you gave river, your a fantastic role model for your stepson, no doubt in my mind with your guidance he could become a top rider! 👍 edit: sorry to say it Jamie but river is much better than you! 😂
River is sick, I shouted out when he hit them on the resin landing, he looked so unfazed by it too! Hope he realises how steezy that actually was! So sick of you to be there for him every step of the way Matt!
Imagine being a 13 year old kid and fucking Matt Jones is your new dad, that would be bloody mental!! Also the scooter crash everyone ignored at 8:09 was gnarly! Congrats river
Well done both of you, awesome effort. I'm a diving coach and ride mtb, you just need to look up and spot the landing not down at the bars. Your flips will be dialed! 🤙 I have the opposite problem and struggle to Rotate 🤦♂️ haha Keep up the good work lads
That's awesome, i know he was probably nervous, but the only advice i could give him is to loosen up some, he seemed so stiff an straight legged. But great job either way 👏
Jamie can start taking a few days off, river can carry the channel now!
Even without the fact that you've got such extensive expertise to teach the boy, this is just damn good parenting. Teaching him and showing understanding and support.

W mate not enough of this in the world respect
Nobody gonna talk about 8:10 where the guy on the scooter has a gnarly crash?
it was a knarly trick too! I think he was trying like a backflip double or triple tailwhip
so happy i saw this aha
I was wondering if anyone else saw that lol
Full smash
Those scooters are nuts to start with. Crashing one has got to hurt. Fair shout though. Hope the lad was ok.

Was getting ready to type the exact same thing but, at the last minute, thought I'd check the other comments first.
River has the best father and uncle figures to look up to
That isn’t his son.
@@Dizzy.peaks1 it's his step-son, hence "father figure"
@@tamhalls646how you sure his real dad isn’t around and he doesn’t need the figure as you’re making out
@@Dizzy.peaks1 people always gotta be argumentative depressing fuckers, you can have more than one father figure. no one is saying matt is replacing anyone.
@@Dizzy.peaks1 Nobody said anything bad about the dad. A good step-parent can only be a good thing though.
Great to see River riding again, what a rad young man. Keep it up dude. Congratulations on your first flip to resi. Wicked lad!
Super stoked for the boy! Jamie's position holding the show together is in jeopardy. Yessss River!
You can tell that in 12 months, we'll be watching videos of River absolutely killing it. These kids can progress so fast, especially with teacher Matt!
The support from all the other kids there was great, cheering his success. Good teaching dad.
This is what the mtb community is all about... EVERYONE stoked and cheering when someone learns a new trick ❤👌💪
Nice River!! Doesn’t matter how good your coach is having the guts to do it and pulling it around is all you! Enjoy the new bike 🤘
Young bro is cheeeeezin. Epic step dad time he won’t soon forget I would bet.
Just need to get him his new bike! Well done River!!!!!!
MTB Coach of the Year award! Cool first name for your step son. More proof that one day, there will be a pro surfer named Shredder McCoy.

This is your best video man.
Not just because all of you 3 rock but also teaches a lot at the same time!
Would love to see more like that.
Congrats river! 🎉 now we need a video of Matt and River building his new Alcatraz!
“Your pedals are pathetic” 😂😂😂
Big props for the less than pathetic efforts River!!! Love that youthfull enthousiasm ❤
Awesome!! Now let's see a bike build of Rivers new ride!
If he doesn't already, I hope one day River appreciates how good of a mentor you are
That's a genuine dad moment! Good shit Matt....I almost teared up for you two😅
Congratulations on a well-done video, Matt. Many talented kids need this tough love approach. I hope you continue to provide honest critiques
Matt is just one of them people who pushes others to their maximum potential
Now that's a channel evolution I enjoy, being a step-dad myself I totally get it. 👏🏾 good job River, crazy progression!
Great job River. Banging out flip after flip!
One of your best episodes yet. Congrats River, keep it up and you'll be showing up these old guys in no time😅
Hey I might be wrong but I think the lockdown series was when I subbed to you and I want to thank you because you have given many life lessons without realizing it and just know you are going to be the best father ever
River great work lad and congratulations on joining the back flip club
Matt great tuition and its so much easier to teach them youngsters when they listen like River does.👍👍
3:00 in.. He needs to look back as well. like a 360 you look over your shoulder and lock on to the landing. So stoked to see River NAILING this!
Matt you are such a great, positive person. With sucj support and advice anyone could try it. Great job River 👍
Get in river! Couldnt have had a better teacher and the bonding that will have made for them will be for life! He will never forget his first backflip with matt! Congrats river now flip tucks!
So good River! We are so proud of you here at CROFTO!
Well done 😁
Cracking mentor for him dude, so positive, get in.
So much progress! River and Jaimie both!
What a rad little fella. You teach him Matt, he's going on the right track 👌
River's hardcore! Lad's got the requisite minerals...
Let’s go River 🎉🎉Love that vid!
Brilliant video. Go River & killing it Jamie 👊👊👊👍👍
Nice work River! Absolute legend move! I did my first flip to foam in 6 years last week, just need to convince my 44 year old body that I can still do one to resi if I commit, I just dont bounce like I used to!
Proud dad moment. Gotta love it!
Matt you are very inspirational to me and I love your vids!!!!❤❤
LEGEND RIVER !!!!! Chip off the old block mate. I feel proud of you for your Dad. Quality....
Thanks for all the work with younger gens
Matthew, that was outstanding. Well done River 👌👍
Love how you persuaded him with a class bike on the line! 🎉
1:50 Shout out to the chicken, carried the video!!
so sick! makes me wish i had that kids confidence
I have to say, I find "Matt Jones - MTB coach" really engaging.
As an American, hearing you say “pathetic petals” is fkn hilarious 😂😂 love it
Heartwarming mate, it's great to see the encouragement and confidence you gave river, your a fantastic role model for your stepson, no doubt in my mind with your guidance he could become a top rider! 👍 edit: sorry to say it Jamie but river is much better than you! 😂
Metallica is on, this is your moment, I know you don't even know what that is, but this is your time!🤣Legend.
If you ever build a trail over water... it needs to be the River Legend, because he is! 🤙✊️
Who knew Matt had a step son, imagine being River and winning that lottery haha Nice flips kid!
Never seen someone backflip without their head coming around like he does . None the less, total stud
Backflip to nozza was sick. Respect little dude, unreal progression.
Epic!!!! Well done River 🤘
Congratulations River 👏 you've got them locked in now. Time for a flare. 😁
Awesome coaching, as always.
Love all of this such great encouragement ❤
Matt stepping up being pops is awesome. Don’t mind seeing this side big dawg.
good to see theres someone else to help take the weight of carrying the channel with Jamie.
LET'S GO RIVER!!!
River is sick, I shouted out when he hit them on the resin landing, he looked so unfazed by it too! Hope he realises how steezy that actually was! So sick of you to be there for him every step of the way Matt!
Nice work, River!
Let’s goooooo! Love to see it m8s. Makes me want to get out there and ride
Yes River🎉 When is the red bull helmet coming! 😆
Imagine being a 13 year old kid and fucking Matt Jones is your new dad, that would be bloody mental!! Also the scooter crash everyone ignored at 8:09 was gnarly! Congrats river
What an awesome step dad
Well done both of you, awesome effort.
I'm a diving coach and ride mtb, you just need to look up and spot the landing not down at the bars. Your flips will be dialed! 🤙
I have the opposite problem and struggle to Rotate 🤦♂️ haha
Keep up the good work lads
Love this one.
Well done River, i wish i had a Mathew to teach me backflips 👊
Go on River, what a lad 💪🏼🤟🏻
This man is actually incredible! so inspiring keep it up.
Ps please film River receiving the most bad ass Alcatraz - i absolutely love to see that
River takes criticism so well. Dudes a beast
Absolutely smashed it
That's awesome, i know he was probably nervous, but the only advice i could give him is to loosen up some, he seemed so stiff an straight legged. But great job either way 👏
Feel like this could be a really good series for loads of viewers who want to learn “basic” tricks from a pro rider.
We love to see it! 😁😁😁 keep it up man, so sick!!
Rivers a little ripper, awesome work, well done 👏 👍
Riv carrying Jamie who carries the channel 😂 proud step dad moment, sooo sick congrats
Jamie needs to go for a double flip now
Dude if my stepdad was this supportive I’d be Elon musk. What a guy, Matt!
this is the best video on your channel
these videos are so inspiring on and off the bike for me right now! hope to get a cruise together one day
You boys make a great team
I don’t think river is shy of the camera I think he was shy of so many people admiring his step dad
Amazing video Matt 🤟
I would like to see you riding in Israel again 😉💪
What a wee legend 🤘🏻
Pacific petals that’s harsh. Love it.
The goat posted yes🎉
Contractions River! You killed it!
Hearing Jamie commentate “yo yo YOOO” was the prime of this video
Awesome Dude Inspire them Young /tip Hat
his big issue is he isnt spotting his landing enough, he has to look through a bit more. other than that, great job River!
favorite video
Yes riverrrrrr
🤘🤘🤘Yea Boi
Well done river great achievement, would love to ride with you guys to help with my progression
