I remember riding the Park City dirt jumps around 2010 and Porter was there. It was the first time I had ever seen someone do a tailwhip in real life and I was completely mind blown. What I remember most though was how cool he was, just hanging out and riding with all the kids.

That was a good one. And it was great to see him riding some of the Sea Otter Ride Zone jumps that I built. Ah, the good old days.

Any chance you have the pic's from that full pipe?  I havn't watched the video yet so apologies if its in there. 

Side question, how many of us are at work, scrolling biking sites and hoping the boss doesn't notice the glazed over look in our eyes. 

Sick vid!  I know yall are both busy, but I feel you guys should link up for an inside line.  Would love to hear more about sketchy filming missions.

Some good memories with that guy. About as nice as they make em and still absolutely rips a bike. Keep killing it Porter.

Finally listened to this:

My theory is that this episode of 17 questions was really an elaborate ploy by the management at Vital to steal insider tricks from you about maximizing YouTube engagement, thumbnails, titles, content, etc.

Crankflip to Abubaca is ridiculous.

Didn’t know you were an Eagle Scout! That’s awesome. Even before mountain biking, backpacking in Scouts was one of the first things that really clicked for me as a kid who absolutely, positively, could not sit still in and be quiet in school all day, so it's cool to hear you has the same experience.

I forgot about flairs! Weren’t you the first to do those on a mountain bike, too? Maybe Phil Sundbaum?

Full pipes are sick, and indeed really hard to ride. About five minutes of fun and then I feel like I'm going to get vertigo and puke.

Sam Hill stealing your contract is hilarious. I think he owes you a beer.
