Improving the best (MTB) thing I've ever built
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2023
- The "pumptrack", named Blowout, is most likely the best thing I've ever built for mountain biking, as it gets used just about every day. This has been life changing for my family and guests.
Today we're going to add on to Blowout with a little case pad lander. This is literally the opposite of what I have done in the past, which was to create the most sketchy and challenging features possible. Life circumstances change, and I'm excited to start building more things that people actually ride!

much respect for not showing your child's face just through clever camera angles very well done and respectful of your family and her privacy
Always noticed and appreciated that about Seth, very thoughtful
Can't argue with the wifee
@@Nizgoobyea I remember he said that once in an older video saying they it’ll be his daughters choice to be in the videos when she is old enough
nor does it feel forced like some of the 'family youtube channels'
He’s good at rhat
The building process was awesome in its own right, but seeing the little one riding on it laughing and giggling warms my heart to a level I just can't describe.
i know! its so chill
As a dad of a 6yo girl that rides, that “ladder bwidge? Whoa!” makes an already good video about 4x better all by itself.
yup completely agree, I love hearing the sound of Joy, and love seeing a parent spend quality time with their kid.
As I've gotten older, more and more do I love hearing the sound of kids playing.
When my child's friends are over and they are all playing and laughing, its a great feeling, it brings a joyful vibe to the home. I guess I'm turning into a grandparent early?
Couldn't have said it any better!
My favorite part was when he asked if she wanted to ride it, no hesitation "yeah!"
You sir, are by far the ultimate definition of someone living their best life.
1000%!
Add a little enduro loop for electric motos then its heaven +1
European here.
You gave me a good laugh with the Imperial measures thing.
I've long given up on questioning the validity of this choice in the US only.
As if everything always made sense.
The "Thank you daddy" coming from a kid at such low age must be one of the most rewarding things you can get (besides seeing your kid having fun).
Great video, thanks for sharing!
So glad you didn't start actually defending non-metric measurements! That's why I have a tape measure with both inches and centimeters. And I love that your kid loved it!
Showing your daughter the feature was such a sweet moment. I lost my dad a couple of years back at a relatively young age, and I don't want to make this sad. I just wanted to say that you will never understand what these things mean to your daughter and her friends. These special moments are lifelong memories for her and you, and it is really awesome to watch. Thank you so much for your channel Seth.
10:00 not gonna lie, you almost had me in the first half 😂😂
but to be fair at least in germany in construction imperial messurements are common. Plywoodsheets are 2 foot wide, pipe diameters are messured in inches and so on
Sorry to disappoint you, but as a carpenter from Germany I can say that we (at least in carpentry) are NOT using imperial measurements. Why should we? :-)
Btw: A sheet of plywood is 62,5cm or 1,25m (2 times 62,5cm) wide and 2,5m in length. 2ft are 60,96cm, so that's not the same ;-)
@@haemmertimein argentina, mechanical engineering, standard pipes and structural steel is often in inches. we use metric for everything though
This video hit me pretty hard and made me tear up a little, just seeing a great dad, building something and sharing his interests with his daughter. Hope I can be as good as a dad as Seth someday.
Her giggles and enthusiasm are everything. So worth it.
You have not only inspired my wife to ride, she now wants to build a small trail in our yard. I love seeing her inspired. Thanks ❤
Wow, she just gave you permission for digging in yard?! That's a keeper 😁
Just warms my heart to hear her excitement. My little ones are a foot taller than me now, but they still love our family rides and bike park vacations. ❤❤
Speaking of metric, helltrack was just a couple kilometres up the river from my place…not A helltrack…THE helltrack. (RAD)
Brother, your videos are so awesome, ever since you started releasing a lot of your videos, Calgary has built a lot of pump tracks and like things. I think you have a lot more influence than you realize, nobody had a channel like this before you.
Thanks for contributing so much to the bicycle community, dude your kid is so cute I could cry.
Much love and respect from Calgary Alberta
Ex: Calgarian. Noticed all the bike work last time visited the fam. Next trip out, 💯 bringing the HT (perfect urban trail weapon). My wife's on board too.
I just love your persistant portrayal of how to incorporate your children into videos without violating their privacy. There just is no debate to me on this topic. And I hope your good example spreads and inspires others. There is a middleground and it does not take away anything from the experience.
You nailed it: "the emotianal component, how it looks, how it feels" (2:35). I can remember my son riding a little north shore the first time. He was so amazed, even though it was nothing spectacular for an adult. Great video!
Thats a fact. Me and my cousin are trying to make my 4 year old cousin start mountain biking, and we've been building some small features that look nice (and spray painting them pink lol) so she likes them.
She rides those way more than the other ones.
Also adding paw patrol stickers guarantees +10 laps
Heat treating the post driver caps should help them last longer. For something being hammered on you would want less hardness to reduce the embrittlement. Try heating the post driver until it's glowing red and then allowing it to cool as slowly as possible should help with stress relief and reduce chances of welds cracking. Hammering is going to work-harden them but it may buy you more usable life.
All it needs is a chamfer on the post. Nothing fancy. Just ancient knowledge.
Oh, Rebecca's celebrations brought me back to my daughter at her age. Such a fun age. Glad you're enjoying it. They're all great, but you do still get nostalgic for the ones that go by.
10:00 - "International audience" here and not gonna lie, you had me in the fist half and I laughed so bad... thanks Seth :D
My pump track is named "snowblower" because it's what I have to do all winter long 😂
It's the greatest thing indeed, you're right Seth.
My best friend and I have been watching your since you made your first bmx video back in Miami. It’s amazing to see what you’ve accomplished and how you’ve grown. It’s truly inspiring. Motivates me to make videos of my own.
"thank you daddy" is all that is needed towards the end of this video. Absolutely brilliant and have fun with you little ones!
Seth is right the only way to keep our hobbies alive is get the nex generations into it. Thats why so many riders at skateparks and trails are so nice to kids.
Great video! The family bonds that this encourages is awesome!
"Thank you Daddy!" Makes everything worth it every time. Well done brother!
im a volunteer at a local dirt pump track and your build is really inspiring!
ive put almost 1000 hours in the past 6 years in it just so the kids can ride something locally.
By far one of my favorite videos, and I bet most dads will agree. Seeing and hearing how excited the little one got about the bridge is what makes this video awesome! Great work as always, Seth!
This is great, Seth. I love to see all sorts of crazy stuff you build on Berm Peak. But this is special because it's relatable. A lot of people that own small flat backyards can look at this and be inspired, based on how much more "achievable" this looks.
That comment on Imperial measurement got me laughing. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything that time :D (9:49)
Not gonna lie, he had us in the first half !
I’ve recently gotten into mountain biking at the ripe age of 41, and I discovered your channel. There are a number of reasons I love your content, but as I dove in I began to admire your love for getting kids into the sport. So much so that I’ve dedicated myself to teaching my young son how to ride so that eventually we can go out on trails together.
Lastly, because I believe it’s important to let other dad’s know that they’re doing a great job…you’re a great father. Keep up the good works!
Oh man!! That's SO cool. Thank you Seth, again some great inspiration. Just love how excited your daughter is about this. You're a great dad, to her and us, your MTB family. Thank you for sharing with us today, we learned something and we sure found it entertaining!!!
Well done and great explanations for the how and why for this build update.
Welcome home Seth and fam :)
My heart sunk when you fell & the stack landed on your wrist, but you seemed to shake it off jus fine. Take it steady yeah!
Superb lil build, and so adorable to see lil'one having fun on the pump track too.
This was so fun to watch, the building, the filming, the editing, you're always top tier. Its so good to see you and your daughter riding, you're probably the coolest dad ever🔥
I love how stoked your daughter is to ride the new feature. I also love your understanding of how different textures and materials make trails more fun. ❤
Love these types of videos, between the building and her reaction, it was so great
I'm always learning something from you. The attention to details with the occasional mishap or blooper. The best part...."Thank you, Daddy"! That makes it all worth it!
This track is so aesthetically pleasing it’s amazing. Great work and keep up the amazing videos!
Your care for how every video flows and feels is incredible 👊🏻
Love the video! I really like seeing you build and explain something
Thanks for the video. It’s nice to see your process and “how the sausage is made”. Great work, Seth. Keep it up.
love seeing you riding with kids and especially your daughter appreciating the things you've made and cheering you on as you ride them. i got back into mountain biking 3 summers ago after moving close to a ski club and my kids took an interest too! so cool to share something i really enjoy with them. this past summer my oldest (9) finished up a portable jump based on plans from lunch ride -- guessing in a few years your oldest will be working the saw under your guidance just like mine did!
Awesome! Dad of the year! All the time! Great fun, entertaining video! Glad the little one loved it! Adorable!❤
That was so cool to see your daughter enjoy and be thankful for it. Definitely the best video of the day, week, month!👏
So cool. I'm down on the idea that a visual que helps you push to a spot you wouldn't have before. This is great. Seth, your video's always stand out on the home page feed. Thanks for keeping it simple and meaningful. 👍
So many amazing videos lately seth!
Great video, and sometimes the little things make a bigger impact . Keep up the good work brother, ride on
your videos inspired me to make my own trails and i have been working on them for three years.
Great work dad! Your videos are always educational and entertaining! I’ll have more time on my hands after going otb in an enduro race. Thanks for the great content!
This is such goals! What a great genuine youtuber and most of all Dad!
Such an awesome Dad I see so many kids with there face in phone's and tablet devices here in UK .You can hear how happy your daughter is spending time with her dad and being outside .Awesome
Learnt (and still in process of learning) how to ride a bike last month at the ripe old age of 24. I've been watching vids on this channel since and they've been a big help! Thank you, I hope for a long time of moutain bike!
The "thank you daddy" got me in the feels. Those are good times.
I think the best part of this whole video is your kiddo coming out and riding with you and genuinely being excited. Her saying thank you, and riding with you is just so special. As a father of four, well past that young age, I appreciate that you spent the whole day making something for your kids to enjoy with you. Awesome awesome job. And yes, I appreciate that you keep your family private from the camera. You are a true family man.
I'm not usually a commenter but I just felt I needed to say this, I have been watching almost from day one and seeing the ways Seth and the channel have grown and evolved has been such a joy so thank you Seth for basically inspiring my love of mountain biking and cycling in general!!!!
i love your videos ever since i have been 8 i could not stop watching your videos and learning about bikes and how they work resently i have moved up to a fl and its great this chanle has helped me so much
Hey Seth - great video. A few years back we built a giant dock in the creek out back from our house. We drove 6x6's 4 feet into the creek bed. The best thing we found to protect our 6x6 stakes, instead of a post cap was to just screw a scrap piece onto the stake. When that piece inevitably split, we'd unscrew it and grab another. We even went as far as using yellow page books the same way that were randomly mailed to us when we were building. Give it a try! Works like a charm!
Great job!! Her reaction was totally worth it!
Now, the little girl is just adorable. Fred Flintstone brakes. Coat tail dragging the back wheel and going after it! Love it.
Best Dad project! Thanks for sharing Seth!
your content is so wholesome and well put together
Kids are the best. Her excitement is the greatest thing in the universe. The way she talks to you is the sweetest. Best.
Thanks for being an awesome dad. We need more of them.
Great video! My 2 year old loved watching your daughter ride. More videos for the kiddos would be awesome.
What is important about this video is that it is important to build features for all types and skill levels of riders. By going the extra mile to make it appear to be more fun and cool for those riders is essential for the success and future of the sport.
But the opposite needs to be available also, things riders can progress on.
Great video and I love some of the points you made about the importance of this.
For general construction purposes, Imperial is more precise than metric.
1” imperial can be divided into 1/64 increments
1” metric can only be divided into half mm segments and that would only get you increments of 1/51
This makes no sense. You can use tenths or hundredths of a millimeter if you want more precision. Plus, you can divide any measurement infinitely. Neither is inherently more precise.
@@williamreinhard EVERYTHING can be split infinitely???? No way……….
hey office guy, google what a standard tape measure looks like and you’d understand.
Fun video! She’s adorable and I love her excitement when she saw it! Great job Seth!!
always love the build and ride videos, no matter what
That adorable " thank you daddy" was my favorite part of the video
As a father of two, great job Seth, the time you spend with your kids will come back ten fold. Here in Oz, we are international and love our metric but refuse to let imperial go in carpentry. We still buy our lumber in lengths of 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.1m, 2.4 etc (or 4 ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8 ft etc), we still lay out our house construction with joists at 300mm, 450mm (1ft, 1ft6), the list goes on. I'm not sure if this video makes me laugh or cry, but either way, thanks for sharing.
Great video...the Imperial joke had me laughing out loud.
Great to the little ones enjoying it too!
im so glad to see the SE Everyday make a big comeback on the channel! Seth's BMX inspired mtb riding is what first attracted me to the channel.
Made me smile watching your kid enjoy your creation, Seth. Thanks for some awesomely enjoyable content.
Just started watching your videos, absolutely love them. Gotta start riding now
Seeing and hearing her was the best part of all this. She is so awesome. Well done dad!
Thanks for the inspiration! I’ll definitely be doing something like this for my kids
Fantastic content! Maximum wholesomeness achieved
Priceless!😊
“Thank you Daddy” is the best thing you’ll ever hear after a job well done😊
There's always one moment in every video where I'm like, wow I need to like this right now and today it was "proceeds to pick up the boards and do the exact same thing". Love it!
Love how much fun your little one has with this... I'd love to have something like this around my city... I need a construction plan for the whole track to find some supporters to build something...
It’s like… I wish you could be my Dad. Love your videos Seth, in all the directions they’ve taken, the theme that remains is the passion for play. Thanks
Dad goals right there. My kid is going to have a dad that’s a mixture of all the best dads I know! Thanks for being one of them, Seth!
Thanks for sharing a nice inspirational video, kids are gonna have fun!
As a father of young daughters, this was one of your best episodes so far. Thanks for sharing.
absolutely love it man! the kids trail im building is also one of the best things ive ever built. looking forward to adding some dad lines to it.
Thanks, Seth! That was a great video again. Watched it here despite having nebula for you and others :)
this video is wholesome the little one is the most precious thing , she genuinely enjoyed that
Love the vids and it learns me new things about MTB
super underrated part of this channel is how well you use music and score
That is a great track. When my son was 7 or 8 years old the council came and dumped ten or twelve dirt mounds in a park at the end of our street. They firmed it all down and the local kids very soon had it organised into a bump/jump track with their bmx bikes. Afternoons after school were a lot more fun after that. Kid sized tracks are the bomb.
F'adorable. "Thank you Daddy!"
Love it. ❤
I love this. Keep being an awesome dad!
13:34 my heart MELTED
oh my gosh youre such a wonderful dad, i immediately started crying
Thanks team. I'm thinking of building a family track for me and the kids next summer. Wood features could be moved around and changed as we grow.
Awesome stuff man! I'd love to see more bike repair videos, that's the best way to learn! And that awesome you ditched social media, that stuff is cancer for society.
Park Tool Co. have lots and lots!
Honestly that just looks like fun to ride and I think is one of the smartest and coolest things anyone could have built Seth. So simple yet so effective.
Very nice Seth!!! Awesome job!!!!
You made a little moment. Little moments are the stuff of life. Little moments that can be enjoyed again and again make a fulfilling life.
A very pleasing bid
Well done my man
Glad to see project atherton coming in full force
Nice to see you happy with your fam
