The brand new backyard trails are back, despite the delay we have been working hard with some epic trail building, build lapses and mega updates to the dirt jumps which are now part of my home farm!! This has been a slow but super cool project to build MTB trails that are big enough for proper Slopestyle tricks but still feel exactly like how MTB or BMX trails are supposed to feel. Enjoy the building and riding. What should we create next?
Legends!

I think a shark fin over the fence would be cool 🔥🔥
Daaamnnnnn🏁
I was going to say that too!
We've seen so many shark fins already! What about a stepdown or drop and immediately a berm, so you have to prepare for the turn in mid air. I call it the reversed shark fin.
Cool
Yess I was about to comment the same then saw this
Great to see you back uploading 😊 thought the life of a dad (as it has mine) had taken over. I hope little one is well
This is his job!! Did you quit yours when your child was born?
@@BigOlSkipnope but had time off as most people do and atleast here in the UK is legally required for your employer to allow
@@johnstoddart9026 ok so did you go back to work or nah
@@BigOlSkipit's only been a few weeks mate chill out will ya and if yer not happy with his upload schedule you know where the unsub button is, lay off.
Bro big mad over a guy not uploading fast enough lol. Chill bud. You’ll be alright.
Love how Matt keeps saying he will add a hand rail to things and he’s not a complete lunatic but he never does😂😂😂
I think he might be a complete lunatic by this point lol
So stoked you’re back 🤙🏼 You should make a line next to main line that jumps back and forth over the fence!!
Glad your back, the jumps look rad, when your done building you should turn the quarry into a big dirt bowl
drainage would be a nightmare. but if they wanted to they could probably manage it somehow 👌
You're correct, it's mostly clay, it would never drain especially with the rainy UK weather. I'd much rather they work on making this line look nice and have some side features (hips/berms) rather than to waste time on making a dirt bowl. There's a reason why there are so few of those out there.
You need less moisture when building, rammed earth buildings require 6% water for compaction. When the moisture leaves, it allows the clay to shrink thus giving you cracks less moisture less cracks. The big key is the compaction. You need to get a jumping jack compactor that will hammer it down so tight that your cracks will be a thing of the past. Although you do need to compact and lifts no more than 2 to 3 inches to make sure you have compaction all the way through. But it’s good to see you have another video. I just watched your brothers video and someone commented that we were missing yours. And I guess I was! Thanks for the great content. Hey, where is Ben?
I was wondering if using some of the new browner dirt , would adding a bit to the sides ( like 2 feet at the bottom to buttress ) , and planting grasses and let the roots do the job ? 🤔
@@jammin_5619 roots will hold it together, but will not harden! They will just soften by breaking up the soil with the roots! So truly, you want dirt that has no seeds, or it will start sprouting and ruin all your work. Parts of the great wall of China are made from rammed earth, And all soil that was used had to be sourced at least 4 inches beneath the surface. Just FYI.
Yeah they’re using way too much water building these, also they need abit of compaction whilst building, instead of piling and shaping, that’s why the landing collapsed as it was a compact slab on top of slop
He’s back
4TH JUMP MAKE TWO OPTIONS. Great video mate.
Happy your back and I am stoked to see a new build series started! I hope this doesn't mean you're giving up on the playground because that place deserves love and i want to see you guys finish the big line and for Ben and Jamie to progress more on it!
I love the fact that you have now a giant hole. I think what would serve you well is to also make a nice big pond, plant some trees, create a nice chill spot and you've got a riding area that also has some family space too. Love the videos
FAMFARE Lagoon...
For the next part you should build a big whale tail but you have a hip aswel that's landing goes through the gap of the whale tail and then you can further carry on by jumping over the fence. Also after the whale tail do a shark fin at the end and then eventually link the two lines togeather.
You should make it turn left and build a jump right over your quarry, that'd be a sick gap!
Oh and definately get one of those RedBull windsocks 😛
Ye that’s what I said a berm to a right hip or something
Good to see you guys. Huge trails. 👌👌
hadn't watched you in like a year, feels like a throwback to the lockdown trails, don't stop
One thing that helps with cracks is sandbags, fill them with dirt, stacks them then build on them, clay sinks and shrinks which then cracks the sand bags help stop that and also hold the moisture in. Build a split line, so you can hip into the feild but also go straight on then join the 2 further along
I think you should make a whale tale next!!!
I think Ben have a trauma with it
You want a story about a whale read pinocchio
Finally he uploaded
Stoked to see you at the Malvern’s on the weekend. I reckon a wale tail will be sick for the next jump. Keep it up. 😊
You should get a big bucket of water/clay and a mop. Kinda like slip in pottery but on a larger level.could be a great way to fix cracking
I've been wondering where the new videos were, but I knew that whatever was going on, they'd be worth the wait!
You guys are definitely one of my favourite UA-cam channels of all time! (Thank god for Jamies carrying skills 😂)
Awesome people, a great little crew and some of the best content ever!❤
HAAH I get you. Get an awesome crew aint easy
You should just make a massive wooden mulch jump, but you can hip off the wooden lip to the left as well to make a different line ( as well as just a straight mulch jump)
Happy to see another video!!! Thanks y’all!
Awesome as always trails Matt. Have you thought about planting tall hedges or trees alongside the jumps to make it more rideable in cross winds?
Might make it a wind tunnel if prevailing wind is head wind tho . . ?
You should build jumps that ride like a half pipe that rides back and forth continuing down and have a jump that you can rather ride like a hip and keep going down the half pipe or you can ride it straight on and jump over the fence into the field
Great to see you back😀. I think it would cool if you built a hip shark Finn thing over the fence.
something that would be so sick is it if you added a shark fin style of jump over the fence and then land into another shark fin and came right back over the fence like a little flowy section
Love it!! Definitely continue with a transfer over the fence into a berm and then back over the fence and continue the line.🎉
Love your content Matt keep it up !
Let's GOOOOO. It's a great day When Matt finally posts!
Welcome back!
Left hip over the fence, but have a straight option too, and a wooden quarter to mud landing for flairs (mud on either side)
Good to see you posting again, apologies in advance for my boring comment (I’m a civil engineer). You need to make the sides of the jumps grade to the ground gradually, earth has a natural angle of repose which it will return to unless you support it, it can’t support itself vertically (which is why we use retaining walls). You need to make the sides of the jumps 1 in 2 ideally, so for every 1m you go up you need to come out 2m. So for a 2m high jump the base at the sides would extend 4m out.
Someone below made a good comment about moisture content and also compacting. Compacting should be done in maximum 200mm layers.
I know this sounds like a lot of extra soil and work, but vertical soil will only last so long before it collapses back to its natural angle.
That long and low looks prime for a over under. Put a berm to the right of the lip. Cross through the gap and then have a lip facing the fence to jump over the fence in a right hip. Then you could have a second line running parallel on the other side of the fence. Would be insane riding with multiple people.
Gotta build a jump over the lake\pond surely? It would be epic.
Happy to see you back Matt. Hope you has a good time on vacation.
Hey Matt at 13.37 when you where stand with Ben talking over the fence after your graceful slide off the racer take off !!!! 🤣😂😅
You need to build an epic viewing tower!!! Great spot for Ben to film , and if you actually put a handrail on it would be a cool sun deck for you and the family 😎👍
Plus you could have a staircase up one side and a start ramp for a cool little pump track for fun 😉
Love everything you've done so far! Glad you're back. My first ideo when you mentioned the fence was a mega wooden Shark fin/hip. After that I would continue in a straight line of main jumps on the second field.
So good to have you back Matt. You should build a big roller after the racer that is cambered on the left but normal in the middle/right. the left line could then jump over the fence, and the straight line could continue
Hey Matt I think the next jump should be a big straight jump over the end fence that would lead into a huge slopestyle jump maybe like the hardline one with the metel lip
I’d like to see a roller into a dirt take off with a stepped up wooden platform that then steps down off (on and off) into a vertical berm left.
You’d be able to make the dirt take off hip left into the field aswell as the step down from the wooden feature step down left into the field so two landings next to each other in the field on the left allowing 3 lines to chose from within that feature, you’d then have 3 lines left fairly parallel to each other allowing you to go nuts with transfer lines etc.
Good to see you back with a new line! Roll on with the build lapse tune 😃
Nice to see you back! Love the time lapse feature builds. Always a favorite. Great video. Congratulations on your recent engagement to Gemma🎉
I like the idea of a split line.. From the racer transfer to a line over the fence, but continue straight with a MASSIVE LAUNCHER
i dont know so much about clay and the different kinds of it, but there is clay and certain treatment which makes the clay more or less waterproof. they use this in interior design. i would recommend just use water and claydust to make a kind of cement and when the kickers are wet you have to rub and polish and just get muddy as hell :D
I work in mud.. you should sweep postcrete into the cracks, then spray it down with the hose, it goes off really quick so would still be rideable the day you do it. It’s very fine so will get deep into all the cracks and take your wrist of when you do the knock test.
I love seeing you going big. Pls make this line good enough to do slopestyle again!
ah the return of madness. Good to see this. Maybe a gap over the fence with a footprint pad on top of a post.
Love it Matt
Hear me out after the racer I think another step up into a shark fin that jumps over the fence 👀
Well done guys we've missed you all.Great to have you back and see the build and ride.
so sick! glad to see you back matt! I think a roller into a hip over the fence or a roller into a right hip into a left hip and then a racer over the fence could be super sick
I reckon continue straight for as long as your section allows and then look at branching off. That way you’ve always got a good set of trick-able jumps to practice/get content with.
Have a landing to the left of the racer that’s a bit shorter than the original landing. After that have the takeoff send you over the fence into the other pasture. You can still run the roller I to booster off the original line as well! Sick build!
Man finally uploaded 🎉
3 transfers over the fence, shark fin over fence into berm/jump back over fence, continue line and transfer back over and continue line
I think the roller into a big booter is a great idea. Then you could do a big left hip or shark fin to jump over the fence and follow the other fence line left. These remind me of a set of trails we built in Socal called Marina Hills. They went straight down a gradual hill, started out tiny and ended up massive.
So glad you’re back man! Been missing my fix of back yard trail building! Looking forward to getting my hands on the new trousers too, reckon you should build a huge wall ride/berm at the corner 🤙🏻
Awesome jumps Matt. On another note, just want to say a huge thank you again for signing my sons new Alcatraz at Malverns on Sunday, although he can’t ride it anger yet as we’re getting it wrapped to preserve the signature 😉
Great to have you guys back uploading, hope we get Malvern and Nines videos too 🤞
So sick as always lads!
Build a Y split at the end leading to a left hip or a right hip! 🤙
You are killing it dude! Keep it up
At the end of that pasture you could build a huge 1/4 covering the entire span and build a line of jumps coming back. Maybe even figure out a way to make the entire thing a endless track.
should add a water feature. maybe a pond gap or a cabbage garden
Been waiting for this vid for ages bro so fire 💪💪💯
Looking amazing!!! Surly that line needs to carry on down, over the fence at the bottom and then use the quarry as a bomb hole section or sunken half pipe!!!
Once the trails are complete I would love to see the quarry turned into a dirt bowl
You could do a big open loop like you did in the first lockdown trail. Have a take off in the middle and two landings one each side so you could do it both directions. Also you could spine the take off so it could be riden in three ways.
i think you should build a shark fin over the fence that would be sickkkkk !!!!
This reminds me of the backyard line levi goodall has been building, massive farmland jumping fences etc. so cool!
about time you got back too us. Thanks you
It definitely isnt boring having these jumps in a straight line , atleast to me anyways. They look awesome!
Hear me out. You have 4 options after the racer. The roller, obviously the best choice the maximize the speed for the next feature.
Going straight following the main line, you could go for a deep step-up. Great for those huge tricks with that massive speed.
The field is definitely wide enough for 2 lines, so maybe a shark fin after the roller to "switch lanes".. Reminiscence of the first backyard trail with the alley-oop spine feature in the middle of the line.. :D
With enough time, and man power.. and dirt... A steep left turn berm, with any kind of jump (considering all of the space available, it looks kinda tight though..) over the fence into the 2nd field...
The options are literally endless after what you guys have all ready built, big props on that! 👏 That Nuga dirt looked like it would make great dust (after a day or two drying in the sun) to fill in the cracks on the other jumps...
The only things that slaps harder than the build lapse song is your shovel work 🔥
I was truly happy to hear the build lapse music again!
Awesome as always
hey matt! glad to see you’re uploading again! i think you should do a huge 180 berm after the racer into a line that jumps over each side of the fence, back and forth 3 times and call it, in n out burgers
Great vid 🤘🤘
I say you make a double roller after the racer. You could manual it then a massive trick jump, shark fin over the fence and continue the line.
I would love a shark fin over the fence!
If you build the next jump still going dtraight but with a wide take off you can use it for the straight line and build a landing for a hip type jump over the fence and carry it on down the other field aswell
Matt I wanna see a shark to shark fin over the fence with a double hip back over the fence and around the corner to a fat line of your choice, but a shark to shark is what dreams are made of 😍
8:00 you could do a decent left handed berm into a right hip over the fence like so he can see this
Glad you are back all. Good video as always! And the official start of a new series with a new intro? Noice.
Good to see you back again Matt. The trails look so much like Greg Barlings ones so sick 😳
Matt it would be so sick if you had a massive trick jump slightly stepped up made with a wooden kicker after that racer jump. it would be like a big slopestyle jump. then after that a left shark fin over the fence would be the best
With you getting back into Slopestyle, I think a Slopestyle whailtail or on-off platform would be cool. I also realize how much log and wood work would go into that, so feel free to ignore my suggestion. 🤘
Matt you should invest in some concrete canvas it's quite pricey but you roll it out (like carpet) then water it and it goes rock hard and water proof with great grip. That way you could ride in whatever weather and it would protect the jumps.
I am loving the into 👍
was feeling lost withouth matts vids for a while. glad to be back
Matt so happy that you’re uploading again
Next I think you should build a wooden wale tale to a fast berm through the corner at the bottom
Gotta hip left over the fence and go straight. Send a line back up toward the roll in that loops back around and links back into the straight line.
Glad to see you back. Missed you guys❤
PARALLEL CROSSOVER LINES!!! Put a transfer over the fence as 4th like you suggested but make it so that its also a straight double to continue the mainline, then another transfer as the 5th on the mainline so that you can run 2x parallel lines in the next field. even cross them over!!!! Would have the speed for a transfer to wall ride on the 5th one too....
Yo matt, sick video, great to see you all back. My first idea that popped into my head was a bit slopestyle but a on off box with dirt landing into a hip left over fence 🤙🤙🤙
After the long and low make a fat 90 degree berm into somthing that can jump over the fence. Would look sick
Should build a hip over the fence and then a gap over the quarry and keep it filled with water and add sprinkler under it to keep cool Wells hitting the jumps
Ironically I was just thinking about the fact that I hadn't seen a Matt Jones vid in quite sometime and magically this pops up. Great work on the jumps.
Thanks for the video glhf and stay safe
Keep it straight Matt! Looks so fun that way. Easier to trick and chill.
Good to see another video 🔥
Feels like it’s been forever! Nice to have you back.
Big booster hip to change direction across to the next field🤘🏾
