6 Years on the Bike - A Progression Video

Follow along with me through my first 6 years on riding Freeride MTB! Its been a long, exciting and difficult journey so far. Anyone who has put the work in to get to where i am now or ever farther will understand the mental and physical struggles that you have to go through. I cant wait to come back stronger than ever and become a super creative and skilled Freerider! 2014 to 2020 @huck_me_baby

Thanks for this. I've just hit a stall/plateau in my jump progression and it's been hugely frustrating. So glad to know that it will be worth persisting! And that I should expect a 6 year timeline! ha

Yes! just keep working on it and dont rush it, just have fun and keep jumping! Itll come eventually....

Yo i noticed you pulled your break while doing 3s. Im trying to get comfy with them and i was wondering how does that help you?

You've definitely put in the work! Great job and way to stick with it to improve.

Really inspiring, in my second year of free ride, hope I come out as good as you!

If you really are passionate about it, youll have no problems getting way better than me haha. I'm a slow learner.

Rad dude that was fun to watch. So it will "only" take me 6 years? Also great showcase of all the places to ride mid-island!

sylvanshackleton (Sep 14, 2020 at 16:44)

Thank you! It all depends how much you ride and how focused you are on your progression! You can progress much faster than i have if you give it your 100% effort.

This so motivating, I've gotten biking.fever the last few weeks and I'm dying to get a good.weekend to hit the trails

Daymn your progression is insane, any tips for learning no foot cans and barspins?

sylvanshackleton (Apr 27, 2021 at 21:50)

im pretty trash at barspins so i'm definetly not the right one to ask about them. for no foot cans id say just get really good a a no footer first before you try a no foot can
