I'm a trail worker here in The States and your work is stellar and certainly makes me want to get some more time building MTB trails; maintain this sick level of work and the videos that are artistry in and of themselves. Not sure if it means much, but I showed these to my brother who isn't an outdoorsman in the slightest, and he simply said: 'It's criminal that this guy doesn't have more subscribers, I couldn't stop watching.' and I can't agree more. Keep it up! (also an Alaska mill overview would be sweet)
Hi Nico, stoked you found my channel! Very cool you are out working on trails as well! And thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me. Very cool that your brother liked my videos as well. I great to know that my content is interesting to people outside of the MTB community. It gives me more hope that this channel could really blow up one day. I have had lots of questions about the Alaskan Mill on instagram as well. I think I will need to do a dedicated video for it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Right! They were ripping! I had actually planned to get a timelapse of the sunset but it ended up a pretty forgettable one so I decided to give the stars ago instead.
I stumbled on Cutlaps from an Instagram video, and thank God I did! This unlocked a part of my creativity I didn’t know I needed to itch. I’m stoked to watch this yard become your dream park!
Yeiwwww! Welcome to the channel mate! I'm guessing it was the skinny log bridge video on Instagram. Make sure you check out the full video of that here on UA-cam. I think it's episode 8. Really stoked you found my videos.
Yes Luke, so good mate. You could called it the ‘luge’ section. That trail is looking boss as mate, keep it up! Those other riders made it look even better👌🏼
Another excellent video!!! I’m pretty sure your channel will blow up in a few months if you keep up this amazing work!!! Looking forward to some more interesting features and it would also be interesting to see you riding more trails.
Yewiww thanks Titas! Currently working on this flow section which is mostly dirt but I am really keen to build something with wood again soon. Do you have any cool ideas for interesting features? And there are a few new MTB trail centres being built nearby where I live. When they open I will have to go test ride them.
I’d love to see a wallride or a sharkfin but what you’ve done is already amazing. Just love trail builders who share their work with such passion and enthusiasm! It motivates me to go build and ride some sick trails.
@@titasmotekaitis I would love to build a big shark fin. But I definitely need to get more confident at jumping first. And a wall ride out of wood would be sick! So good it motivates you to get out and ride 🤟
I always enjoy your video, great build and amazing rides, the footage was sick. Thanks for sharing and your great content. Keep up the good work and ride on🤙
Favorite moment, Luke running through the trees @5:21 🤣 best shot @5:39 with split action!!! I’ve been there when berms don’t feel right, looks like the deeper curve holds you in better. Love the late night dig session @2:50 before buddies arrive, been there too 😆 @4:47 I had a feeling that 2nd to 3rd turn wanted to be jumped, you could lift the end of the second to create more fall in the transition between the two. @5:07 you were right those rollers are fine and something to progress too. @5:15 sick knolly!!! What a great build and video, so awesome to see your trail coming together!!!!
Hahaha I was wondering if you would notice me legging it through the trees! Thats me with my camera in hand trying to get the shot and not fall over. Amazing how smooth they come out. Yeah a couple of extra loads of dirt at the end of that 2nd berm would give you a bit of a kick. They made the rollers look so easy. It just flowed so nicely for them. Love it.
I was stoked with how easy they were clearing it. They said it was the perfect pop and distance for the trail speed. Now I just need to work on my skills so I can clear it too. They just make it look so easy haha.
The boys from the bike shop were killing it. You need to build up aroind where they were airing out of the berm into the next berm. It looked so sick. Your videos are so good and you explain everything well.
I like your style! I actually did go back and build up a bit of a lip for people to pop off into the next berm. I should give it a try. Completely forgot about it actually.
Luke - once again, great video! You are killing it in the production quality and content of your videos. I enjoy your enthusiasm and drive to create a great trail. Don't forget some tech thrown in just to keep the riders honest... you don't want too much flow! Maybe a rock garden to break up the flow? Call that new S section the Aussie Flow section - there are a couple S's in Aussie to compliment the extra curves/burns you've added.
Thanks Joseph! I like the idea of the tech keeping the riders honest 😂. It's just a bit of a struggle to have a rock garden with the current trail. The only rocky sections are in really sandy soil and they aren't very big. So after a couple of rides the come loose. So sadly I think this trail will be without a proper rock garden but dont you worry! I have been exploring the property and have found some perfect tech lines through janky rock. Some really gnarly stuff that I don't even want to ride. Definitely some tech trails coming in the future. And Aussie flow works with back to back Ss. I like that.
Yeww! What a vid! Keep em coming mate! Those riders are machines as well!! Snake run pro lessons on the horizon? Name for the burns - the 'serpentine section'. Free T-shirt points??
Cheers dude! They were shredding. I had a great time riding with them but it was just a quick session. I could really use a pro lesson from them for sure haha. Nice name! I'll put your name into the hat twice 😂
Thanks Froff!! I just realised I have some big design jobs on that I had forgotten about 😬😬😬. I hope they don't eat into my trail building time too much. I want to get the next episode out as soon as possible and try and keep a regular UA-cam schedule.
your vides are Amazing!!!!your Such a GREAT BULDER THE BEST PROPERLY.I don't no how you make those cool as drops and jumps. your own mtb trails are sick.
@@cutlaps prob this one so far, i love watching flow being built, could be the skinny one too thought. that one was sick but something id probably skip
You could call that section of turns a “chicane” which is by definition “a tight sequence of corners in alternate directions.” Brilliant trailwork mate 🇨🇦✌🏼
Oh yeah that could work. Except I have been calling the tight turns before the stump drop (4:29) the chicane. I needed to add that in to slow the trail down before the drop. So cool you are from Canada. I want to travel over there so bad in winter and summer!
In my opinion I think you should call it “The Python” because it’s long and curvy but I still think that I’m tied between “The Python and “Chicane” both of them sound perfect
The content keeps getting better each episode. Love that night sky Timelapse. Great storytelling Luke. The quality is super high on the video edits. It’s a pleasure to watch. Good length on your vids as well, reckon that 10min mark is a good duration. What’s next, can’t wait to see. Keep it it up mate. 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Cheers mate. Glad you like the timelapse. I hadn't done a night sky one for a long time and I had a few issues with the camera. I think I can get them looking even better in the future. It would be cool to get some shots of the features with the stars above. Glad you like the video length. I don't think I would be able to manage any longer unless it was some crazy feature build.
@@cutlaps people tend to tune out on longer vids. The Timelapse of the build with the sun in the background was great as well as it showed the real-time that it actually takes. It’s easy to think that just watching 20sec in a video actually took hours. Much respect in the build time and some envy, the videos on top are awesome insight as well.
@@Relentless_Hard_Enduro I was wondering if anyone notices the shadows from the trees moving in the timelapse. It's like a sun dial letting you know how much time is actually going by.
Yes Luke!! Love that you dropped this so quickly after the last one! Hopefully capitalise on that viral insta clip slightly with the algorithm here! The extra little bits keep improving man, the animation you did with the map and the animated crinkled paper behind was sick. Also love so much that you're in to astro photography too! Sick time lapse of the Milky way! Trail keeps improving and love Aggie hanging out as usual 😁 Also great seeing more of the trail with the sections yet to be polished, you've got some work ahead of you! Keep it up mate!
Cheers dude! Yeah I had a little fun with some stop motion yesterday creating the paper scrunch effect. Took longer than expected in after effects adding in the map lol. And I enjoy astro photoraphy, it had been a while since I had tried it. Wasn't super happy with the results due to a few camera issues (which hopefully I have resolved). Will definitely try some more and see if I can improve. The trail is always evolving. At this rate I don't think it will ever be finished haha.
Te gaps in the trees were perfect hey! Did you see the very last shot? I crashed it on the way to film that first shot lol. Drone caught itself before it hit the ground luckily.
I love that supervisor with his white hair staying calm whatever you do. My supervisor has grey hair and is always telling me what to do and how to do it.🤣😂
Yeah you could definitely do that. And it would look more natural as well. Honestly I would prefer to do that but I don't have any rocks that size or the correct shape which is a bummer.
Another sick video! Your trail seems to ride perfect. The guys from the Moruya and Narooma Shop really showed how well its built. Looking forward for more! And a huge thanks for the t-shirt! How can we get in contact to sort things out?
Thanks Lorin! I was a little nervous to have some decent riders hit the trail. It flows for me but I wasn't sure about the higher speeds for them. But they had a great time. And congrats on wining a shirt. You can send me an email (listed on my youtube profile page) or DM me on Instagram and we will get it all sorted.
@@cutlaps I know the feeling of building for certain speeds, I like the roller coaster feeling when a trail moves you back and forth in flowy zen but then my faster friends focus on KOM speeds complain everything is too sharp and I agree, when I go those speeds it is to sharp but and it looses the zen feeling. Then I build longer drawn out high speed trails and yeah allow for ripping and are fast but they don’t have that same zen state flow of swirling about the trail 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome Luke. How impressive were the crew from Moruya & Narooma, hit those berms like a breeze. Did you set up a drainage plan, curious to know. Great to see the your channel growing nicely as well. 🤟🤟🤟
Man, they killed it. So good to see, and lots of fun to ride with them. The drainage plan for the new berm is down the inside and then I need to shape a dip in the trail where I want the water to cross. But I wasn't exactly sure where yet because there will be a bit of a trail change coming up. The dip doesn't have to be deep but the wider the better. The wider it is the less erosion happens.
Thanks mate. Decent trail building videos can be hard to come by because of the amount of time and effort that goes into each one. I find them extremely satisfying to watch. @bcpov has some great trail building videos and Seth at @backyardtrailbuilds is another favourite.
That depends on the trail and also it's surroundings. I'm building myself a flow trail with fun berms because that doesn't exist in my area. There's plenty of trails with flat turns and at the moment I don't want to build one of those. So to answer your question... At the moment for me yes berms are the answer 🤣
@@cutlaps it was rather a philosophical question 😁. Didn't mean to be disrespectful or anything.. Kudos for what you're doing there!! Just discovered your channel..!
You know you should try to make your own bike park or partner with berm peak that would be amazing and it would help your channel grow this is just a suggestion. I said this because your very good at making trails and if you made a park not only could you enjoy it but the community would. But i love the hard work and i really look up to you man have a good day and have fun
It would be so cool to do a collaborataion with Seth from Berm Peak to build a bike park. It would be very cool to be able to build something that eveyone can ride.
Cool you are watching some of the earlier videos. I have the GoPro hero 9 and 10. I have a few other cameras as well but I don't really use them. It's just way easier to set up the GoPro. But I use a mini shotgun mic when recording audio. What camera do you use?
Yeah I have a list of videos I would like to create and that is one of them. But pretty much I shoot in 4k at 25 frames a second unless I'm filming slomo. And I often use a tripod. Uploading to UA-cam in 4k helps because they compress it and it loses quality. I shoot flat colour because I colour grade my video but it takes much longer.
IT is really fun to ride. At the moment it isn't open to the public, but as my UA-cam channel grows I hope to be able to afford to build something like this that anyone can ride.
It really depends. Usually planning it out doesn't take too long because I spend so much time at the trail and I know where everything is. Then the actual berm takes me a day if it's small, all the way up to 3 or 4 days if it's big. The corkscrew berm took about 14 days of moving dirt because it needed to be so big.
@@jackjenkins7933 It's a lot of digging even with the mini excavator. And the berms are bigger than they look in the video. I guess a chunk of my time is also taken up by setting up cameras and getting video. You would be surprised how much extra time that adds. But I am so happy with how the videos turn out and the channel is really starting to take off now which is cool
It depends on a lot of things. Some dirt breaks up and washes away a lot quicker. And if you have lots of riders using it, it will deteriorate quicker. This berm is probably 2 years old now and I haven't done any maintenance to it. But it doesn't look as smooth as it used to.
@@cutlaps you are lucky! where in Australia are you cos if you are near me could I try the course, I'm not very advanced but I would like to give it a go!
For sure! You can even see that looking at my early videos. The features are getting bigger as my riding progresses but also as my building skills progress.
I had to put the last shot in there somewhere. Crashed the drone because I was hiding out of shot and couldn't see the tree 😂
Hahaha I didn’t even notice the first time, it’s a perfect transition to end on 😂
Thanks heaps for the opportunity to come down and ride them, absolutely loved it, beautifully built and shaped, legend 🤙
I will build some more and you have to come back and shred it all again.

I’m loving the series. I found it randomly a few days ago and have binged all the eps. 👍

They have been all great but the one where you make the stinky high log
Your videos are getting better every time I see them, keep up the good work! The trails are looking mint!
Yeiww thanks Josh. How good is it seeing the guys riding the trail. They were shredding.
@@cutlaps they were shredding it! So sick seeing them ride it!
@@Josh_Ryals I will definitely get them back again when I build a few more features. Its helpful with the build process as well.
What music did u use in the intro?
It's called Motions by Saint James
Yes Luke, so good mate. You could called it the ‘luge’ section. That trail is looking boss as mate, keep it up! Those other riders made it look even better👌🏼
True! It does look like a lge or bobsled track there. The guys were shredding. It was so good to see. I have to get them back to ride some more.
Loving the videos mate, keep up the good work!
Thanks Lance! I'll hopefully be out at the trail digging more this arvo!
So jelly of that mini excavator you got there. What a sweet little rig.
Shes a bit clunky but I love it. Definitely speeds up my process and it's great how small it is. It was such a great purchase.

AWESOME!!! Stoked to inspire you. Thank you
I wish I could come to your track.
Sick trail. T shirts r cool too. Next you need to do stickers
Good idea! I'll definitely have to get some stickers made up.
Your video's are awesome
CHeers Tim! Thanks for watching.
good shit bro! cool trail!
Cheers legend. The trail is lots of fun.
Great channel ❤
Thank you! I hope to have my next video finished early next week. Its been a few months of work so I am pretty excited.
I was wondering if you could dig a ditch and use a large stone prop up to the water flows underneath it instead of a pipe?
Yeah you could definitely do that. And it would look more natural as well. Honestly I would prefer to do that but I don't have any rocks that size or the correct shape which is a bummer.
@@cutlaps New Hampshire has big rocks, lots of them.
@@williamgriswold2593 can you ship some over to me! I would love to build some features out of rock. 🤣
Another sick video! Your trail seems to ride perfect. The guys from the Moruya and Narooma Shop really showed how well its built. Looking forward for more! And a huge thanks for the t-shirt! How can we get in contact to sort things out?
Thanks Lorin! I was a little nervous to have some decent riders hit the trail. It flows for me but I wasn't sure about the higher speeds for them. But they had a great time. And congrats on wining a shirt. You can send me an email (listed on my youtube profile page) or DM me on Instagram and we will get it all sorted.
Congrats on the shirt Lorin, love mine!
@@cutlaps I know the feeling of building for certain speeds, I like the roller coaster feeling when a trail moves you back and forth in flowy zen but then my faster friends focus on KOM speeds complain everything is too sharp and I agree, when I go those speeds it is to sharp but and it looses the zen feeling. Then I build longer drawn out high speed trails and yeah allow for ripping and are fast but they don’t have that same zen state flow of swirling about the trail 🤷🏻♂️
@@mattspen thanks, I‘m really looking forward to mine!
Awesome Luke. How impressive were the crew from Moruya & Narooma, hit those berms like a breeze. Did you set up a drainage plan, curious to know. Great to see the your channel growing nicely as well. 🤟🤟🤟
Man, they killed it. So good to see, and lots of fun to ride with them. The drainage plan for the new berm is down the inside and then I need to shape a dip in the trail where I want the water to cross. But I wasn't exactly sure where yet because there will be a bit of a trail change coming up. The dip doesn't have to be deep but the wider the better. The wider it is the less erosion happens.
trail section suggestion: sidewinder. it's snake related, sounds cool and kinda represents the overall shape
Oooh I like that. I didn't realise it was a snake until I googled it. The sidewinder berms!
@@cutlaps yeah here to vote for sidewinder too! We have them back home in the southwest US and its exactly what I thought of on that overview shot
@5:16…..don’t ya just hate those blokes 🤣
Haha they just shred! Make it look so smooth and easy. That will be me one day. Except I don't spend enough time riding. Too busy digging haha.
Its suprising that on UA-cam University there arent more trail building videos. Well done.😮
Thanks mate. Decent trail building videos can be hard to come by because of the amount of time and effort that goes into each one. I find them extremely satisfying to watch. @bcpov has some great trail building videos and Seth at @backyardtrailbuilds is another favourite.
Amazing video
Legend. Thanks mate
@@cutlaps your welcome
good
Gooooooooood 🙌
i love your videos i am a mountain biker to.
So cool.
I don't even ride my bike much and this is still super interesting. I wonder what the guys were thinking while riding it?
Thanks mate! Yeah they had a great time. Really enjoyed riding the trail and can't wait to come back again.
Dude in Oregon that red clay you just put fill dirt wanted sign in your front yard or call excavators and your whole yard could be dirt paradise haha
Hahah thats not a bad idea.
Berms are great but are they the answer to every turn?
That depends on the trail and also it's surroundings. I'm building myself a flow trail with fun berms because that doesn't exist in my area. There's plenty of trails with flat turns and at the moment I don't want to build one of those. So to answer your question... At the moment for me yes berms are the answer 🤣
@@cutlaps it was rather a philosophical question 😁.
Didn't mean to be disrespectful or anything..
Kudos for what you're doing there!!
Just discovered your channel..!
cool
You know you should try to make your own bike park or partner with berm peak that would be amazing and it would help your channel grow this is just a suggestion. I said this because your very good at making trails and if you made a park not only could you enjoy it but the community would. But i love the hard work and i really look up to you man have a good day and have fun
It would be so cool to do a collaborataion with Seth from Berm Peak to build a bike park. It would be very cool to be able to build something that eveyone can ride.
@@cutlaps yes it would me and my friends built this big jump today and i did my first teeter totter
Hey mate, I’m just watching a bunch of your old videos to catch up on the build and I was wondering what camera you use. It’s incredibly clear!
Cool you are watching some of the earlier videos. I have the GoPro hero 9 and 10. I have a few other cameras as well but I don't really use them. It's just way easier to set up the GoPro. But I use a mini shotgun mic when recording audio. What camera do you use?
@@cutlaps I use the GoPro Hero 10 as well. It'd be awesome to see a video on the settings you use! Also, I should probably invest in a mic 😅
Yeah I have a list of videos I would like to create and that is one of them. But pretty much I shoot in 4k at 25 frames a second unless I'm filming slomo. And I often use a tripod. Uploading to UA-cam in 4k helps because they compress it and it loses quality. I shoot flat colour because I colour grade my video but it takes much longer.
@@cutlaps Thanks!
i really want to go to this place to ride this track
IT is really fun to ride. At the moment it isn't open to the public, but as my UA-cam channel grows I hope to be able to afford to build something like this that anyone can ride.
@@cutlaps ok no problem cant wait for more videos
How long does one burn usually take to plan out and make?
It really depends. Usually planning it out doesn't take too long because I spend so much time at the trail and I know where everything is. Then the actual berm takes me a day if it's small, all the way up to 3 or 4 days if it's big. The corkscrew berm took about 14 days of moving dirt because it needed to be so big.
@@cutlaps wow that's way more work than I was expecting. the amount of effort you put into these videos is incredible!
@@jackjenkins7933 It's a lot of digging even with the mini excavator. And the berms are bigger than they look in the video. I guess a chunk of my time is also taken up by setting up cameras and getting video. You would be surprised how much extra time that adds. But I am so happy with how the videos turn out and the channel is really starting to take off now which is cool
A cool name could be the snake river
After a berm is finished, how lang does it actually last? Great content btw!
It depends on a lot of things. Some dirt breaks up and washes away a lot quicker. And if you have lots of riders using it, it will deteriorate quicker. This berm is probably 2 years old now and I haven't done any maintenance to it. But it doesn't look as smooth as it used to.
Love to see the new upload I want more😡
😂😂😂 I'm digging as fast as I can!
Call it the killer python
shred bends?
That would have been a good name. It ended up being called the Sidewinder.
Nice
Cheers dude
@@cutlaps i got a t shirt its so cool!
@@A_Boys_Life awesome!
Sick
Stoked you have been enjoying the videos.
how do you get the space to do all this?
I am incredibly lucky that my dad owns this property and lets me build on it.
@@cutlaps you are lucky! where in Australia are you cos if you are near me could I try the course, I'm not very advanced but I would like to give it a go!
Call it The Wiggles!!!! 😂
Haha thats not bad!
Serpent slider
Nice one
I’d call them the Porsche Curves
Ohhhh yeah fast and flowy!
Loving the party 🎉 flow of this section// \\🚲💃📐✅
Same! It flows so nicely and the new section I'm currently working on really adds to it!
Call it Cobra Corner
Ohh the cobra corner would have been a good name for the corkscrew
You should name the triple Berm *fang frame*
Not bad at all!
I was wondering if your trail building skills change as your mountain bike skills grow?
For sure! You can even see that looking at my early videos. The features are getting bigger as my riding progresses but also as my building skills progress.
@@cutlaps that’s cool 😎 good for you. Thanks
vey nice
Cheers Tom
Mississippi trail way
You should call those berms the “Cobra curves”
Yeah thats not bad. I eneded up calling them Sidewinder which is another type of snake.
Can you please make a clif jump
Not on this trail but I found a bik rock nearby that would make a sick cliff drop. I think that will be my next trail.
'Snake it til you make it'
That could also be cool on a shirt!
Viper tail
Oh yeah thats a pretty good name!
