Building & Testing A Technical Rock Slab Drop | Skidmarks MTB Trail Build ep. 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2023
- I am building a Mountain Bike trail that will be open to the public and the first feature is a big Slab Drop that I'm calling the Diving Board. If you missed the announcement on my main channel here's what you need to know. This trail is part of at a new MTB trail network in Vermont called the Driving Range that will be free, and open to the public. This will be a network of advance trails from "dark blue" to Double black, but all of these trails will be built so that Adaptive riders can also enjoy them. At the time of posting this (June 2023), these trails are NOT open but hopefully will later this summer. This is the first video of a series of videos I will be doing about this trail that we are calling "skidmarks".

Before I Started Building This Drop People Thought I Was Mad | Skidmarks Ep 1: The Diving Board
Into The Thick of It: Building The Diving Board Slab Drop | Skidmarks MTB Trail Build Ep 1
Building and Testing Rock Slab Drop Known As "The Diving Board" | Skidmarks MTB Trail Build
This is a long one but I promise it's worth it! Not sure how long it's gonna take to get the next video out, so hold tight. This video brings you up to speed on where I'm at in the build.
Cant tell you've ridden and built a lot of trails! Great bit of content and rad to hear your building a public bike trail 🤟 looking firward to seeing the progression 👌 Happy Shredding
You might be able to get some help from the public that'll be riding that! Just a thought..
When are u going yo whistler
I've seen this drop in person - that shelf on top the landing slab is big intimidating... big props to Phil for first send on all three lines!
I tried videoing and photographing it from every angle and nothing does it justice!
These videos are so peaceful and relaxing to watch. It always feels good to be building something out in nature.
I totally admire your commitment to these drops in wet. Amazing!
Luckily the rain doesn't affect your grip on the rock too much, provided that the tires arent packed up with mud.
@@PhilsWorld good clean rock then. out in bc those rocks are green, slimy, and bit of water turns them into a step above a sheet of ice.
be more careful when you return to that spot in a year or two, might be a bit more slippery than it is while "clean"
Finally, a video series that combines all the equipment of a Andrew Camarata video and the Skills of Phil.
The marriage we didn’t even know we wanted.
The feature every trail build dreams of finding
7:34 that setup looks like something out of Mad Max. Ready to rule the wastelands!
Wicked job at the range, Phil. As both a dirt guy and a mountain biker the work there is amazing. Hope to see you out there this season!
Phil after watching this video it is obvious why you are more drawn to making this type content at this stage of your career/journey. It’s awesome to watch your experience, knowledge, and passion at work. Creating content can create anxious feelings at times so it’s so enjoyable to watch you so at peace. It may be tempting at times to skip ahead but if ya lock in for the ride it’s such a nice watch- awesome editing. You’re still a badass too💪💪
That rock slab drop is going to make this a very popular trail for riders and lookey loos.
Thats part of why I wanted to uncover it. It's a nice view now that its been uncovered.
Really enjoy this style of video. Big props to you for doing all this work and also taking the time to film it and put together these cool long form videos! Those flies though, oh man...
Throwing yourself off a cliff should never not be nerve racking. Loving this series btw
Thats an insane amount of work damnnn
So awesome man! Love trail building videos and yours are the best. I'll have to make a trip down from Ontario the check out these work of art trails :)
I love how you just make the trails come to life with the excavator.very creative with the drop as well keep it up❤
You need to get some volunteers out there to help.
Love it!
Great content bro!! Keep up the great work 👍 Funny as 😂
Buzzing dude! :)
The body net is warranted. I've got scars all over my arms and legs from hiking Mt. Jefferson. I wear long sleeves and a head net at this time of year now.
Those bugs were vicious, but they are mostly gone to be replaced with no-see-ems and mosquitoes. The silver lining is I haven't needed the big net in several weeks now as long as i stay moving
Awesome video!
sooo satisfying....top 10 trail build videos for sure
43:25 Phil no longer notices the Black flies. Immunity achieved
There are times where you can somehow tune them out, but at some point you'll become self aware of how many bugs are around you and snap. They suck.
I can't wait to ride this!!! If you ever need a spare set of hands i'd be more than happy to help
There's volunteer day this Thursday (june 22) - see Richmond mountain trails for location information, but i will be leading a group and we will be clearing the next corridor to the trail.
Respect!
Holy shit dude, I had no idea of the existence of this channel. I've been following you since you had the Evil bike and UA-cam not once suggested this channel to me. So much content to enjoy now 😂 👌
I've plugged this channel a few times in my videos, but I don't expect this channel to have the same popularity.
Love it... Though my skill (and my need to keep my body unbroken for my job) will only allow for the adaptive line haha. Always cool to have stuff for people that push themselves a little harder. Keep it up Phil!
To be fair the adaptive line is honestly pretty fun. I doubt many will hit the two big lines, but the main drop is likely to be fairly popular.
awsome job👍
Amazing feature and amazing build...very cool, Phil.
the wide angle of you jumping down the ledge is so sick! loving this series, stoked to see what where this trail goes
This is definitely the highlight of the trail, the rest of the trail will be a bit more traditional but with plenty of spice
@@PhilsWorld quite a warm up 😂
Great job, mate! Thank you for building trails! Unreal underrated work I think...
You did so amazing at this start I can’t wait to see what else you do
I definitely need more of these videos, love it 😍😍
It is so relaxing and interesting to watch you create these trails. wasn’t able to get through the whole video tonight but looked forward to finishing up tomorrow.
Wow! What a build! Can’t wait to see how this trail turns out.
Dude that rock feature looks so friggin rad!! Incredible how much work going into this trail, keep it up!! Edit: Just watched you hit the third line off the rock and man, your precision will always just blow my mind
Just clearing things out took up so much time. I'd actually done a few days worth of work clearing things up before i had begun filming.
That third line will probably be a "once in a blue moon" line haha but the other two go.
You are absolutely insane! Congrats on your progress!
well done Phil. That drop came out super sick, coming together great
Hear me out.
When your standing at the top and you look to the left of the third line. Would you be able to turn that in to a nice rollable drop. From camera it looks like the ledge that runs along the 3 drops runs out, so at the end you could roll the rock slab with a bit of built up dirt at the bottom.
Give me your thoughts?
I cleared this whole area out so that other lines can develop organically as time goes on.
Super vision and execution on the build and the first sends. Kudos. Sick. From the top it looks like a 20’ drop but the landing spot 1/3 of the way up from flat is the key. Super stoked … I’m in Cambridge, Vt. Would love to come check it out.
Slick rock drop should be the name lol 😮
Can't wait to come see the trail in person some day! Would love to see if you could incorporate a rock roll into that slab as well
The rock-n-drop
that trail looks to be top tier once its fully done, nicely done Phil!
The rest of the trail will be less sendy, but I'm hoping to keep it interesting the whole way down
This is the first time I watched a video and thought, I wonder if there's a 20 minute cut on patron. Hahaha. Killer project!
You are a maniac 🔥😂
I think you should add a hip jump somewhere on that trail
tremendous amount of work, great job phil. It looks like there is potential for a few roller lines aswell.
That's partially why i wanted to clean up all the dead wood in that area. I also added some dirt next to the drop landing in case we wanted to make that a line.
my idol phil keep upp the good work
👍
Can’t wait to take the groomed b line around this
Epic building Phil! Love it.. Would love to try the easier first line option of the new drop. That's legit.
Id love to see a edited down version on the main channel!
I've been working on one. Hopefully it'll be out this week :)
Hey phil! Fellow Vermonter and mountain biker! I love your videos and this drop looks insane! Where is it located? I missed two of your videos.
Sooo awesome
You didn't show us the last battery... we DON'T BELIEVE THEY WERE ALL CHARGED!!! =)
😂
I predict you will be getting lots of new growth, with all the light hitting the ground now after you've removed so many trees. I hope the remaining trees will grow fast and expand the canopies, otherwise the area will look like a little jungle in a couple of years.
Keep shredding and building, cheers
Next year all the ferns and vegetation will be back where i tracked over them for sure.
ur pretty nice with the excavatorrr
Cool to see you are building trails legit! You should buy yourself I strong shail bar! I use them for my rock work, could be very useful moving big logs/rocks safely.
I love rock bars, but I'm a bit limited in tools I can cary with me, and rock bars are heavy and cumbersome. This is probably one of the most interesting aspects of trail building that's easily overlooked: how do you get supplies and tools to where you're working? I'm lucky here that there's an access road already made but a lot of builders don't have that luxury.
That drop is pro level 😬 Its good you have a chicken line 😅 I would love to see a wallride on your trail. 🙏
Nice!
Hope to see you out there, man! Will you be there at any of the official RMT trail days?
We need more of some Talaria riding videos!
And more sketchy drops!🤣🤣🤣
Im not really that entertaining on a talaria right now. Dirt bikes ride way differently than bikes! Super fun to ride though!
ONE of the BEST Videos from you!!!! Love all about it and I am stoked to see more!!!
Armchair trail building here, but a chicken ramp anchored to the rock covering the bumpout shelf on the drop main line would make it a lot more accessible
And El Capitan would be a lot more accessible if they installed an elevator :)
I really need sleep but one last video wont hurt
This might not be the best last video before bed haha
@@PhilsWorld oh it was the perfect video👍
Hey Phil awesome vid! I am a small content creator also from VT I was wondering what video editing software you use? Thanks!
Think phils gonna realize, its NOT as easy as he thought! This is a big job or a one man show! Great idea, i tell you want to do something else with mtb, im subscribed.....
I knew going into this that this was going to be a pretty big challenge with plenty of curveballs. The lower half of this trail is going to be the most interesting to build and I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to go about it, but I look forward to crossing that bridge when I get there.
43:20 so many mosquitos!!! 🦟
Those are black flies, they are vicious early spring. Mosquitoes come out a little later in the year
Hey Phil, how many hours do you have running that now? Seems your muscle memory of the controls are pretty dialed in.
Ps nice building, and Bender would be proud of that last drop, that was very 2003 style lol.
I think I'm under 400hr. There's definitely things that look smoother thanks to selective editing I'm pretty comfortable running it but there's a lot of room for growth. I watch experienced operators i know build, and there's a noticeable finesse to everything they do. We might be able to build a comparable trail, but they would do it in a quarter of the time, and half the mess.
If you could pick one piece of equipment, a bobcat, an excavator, standup bobcat, tractor… What would you get if you could only have one?
That's a super broad question without knowing the desired goal. Every tool has strengths. Excavators are insanely versatile, but if you need to move dirt any distance skidsteers are hard to beat. However tracks do a fair bit of damage to the ground and are less maneuverable. Ride on skdisteers vs standard skidsteers; i like the ability to get in/out quickly on the ride on style but if you were on it all day I'm sure that'd get old.
hey phil what editing app or software do you use?
Final Cut, but nothing i do is really that special, i could do the same stuff in imovie when it comes to Phil's world videos.
Would you say this would be a double black or pro feature?
Middle and far left is definitely a proline, far right is a little more of a double black.
NO DIG NO RIDE ⛏⛏
Yes dig, yes ride :)
38:20 only a mountain biker would sweep in the forest
I feel like I would want to roll this drop. Can it be rolled? I'd be curious...
Due to how it's shaped it is not possible to roll.
That sounds like a challenge! :D
😀
I figure the camera is just about level at 57:52... *Dear god.* That landing is like 50 degrees from horizontal. 😬 Riding position (butt aft of rear axle) is confluent with this.
This is why it's call the diving board :)
I'm in Jericho if you need someone to sharpen those chainsaw chains for you.
Thanks for that! I bought a few sharpeners earlier on when i got my chainsaws. I by no means do a professional job, but given how much dirt i run into when clearing trails i had to get pretty okay at sharpening chains quickly haha!
It’s log. It’s log.
It’s big.
It’s heavy.
It’s wood.
…
what ebike is that?
The e bike is a gt force amp. The electric dirt bike is a talaria sting mx4
the old metric bolt in a imperial hole...
I was having an unusually tough time finding a similar match, and it didn't help that i could not tell if it was metric or imperial. I found one with the same size and thread pitch, so i thought, but obviously as i installed it, that was not the case. I'll address this later when i have more time. It falls pretty low and things that actually matter.
@@PhilsWorld for future reference CAT is all imperial ;)
Very rare you get metric on them. And if so it’s normally on the after market attachments etc
Well done on the trail so far
@@chadsugden411 That's actually really good to know, thank you. I was thinking it probably was, but when I used the thread checkers, it seemed to fit best in the metric threads.
A dead tree eventually becomes a problem or dangerous
If and when it decides to become a problem, we'll clean it up. 👍
@PhilsWorld everything looks awesome tho skill hope too ride it one day
Was that a raw potato is your lunch??
🍐 or 🥔 I'll let you take a wild guess.
@@PhilsWorld I see haha I was really wondering just how you went about eating it. Thinking it was just you out there putting salt and pepper on a raw potato 😂 great video though love the build!
You need the help of Arnold Schwarzenegger with those logs 😜:
