Building a fun MTB jump out of an old log!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2021
- This huge mountain bike trail in my backyard continues to grow. In this episode, I transform a crappy old MTB jump into a stunning tabletop with an old log through the middle of it.
This was my first time making a dirt paste and properly sculpting a jump. I had to create a homemade sieve because the ground around here is very rocky. This meant that I could get loads of fine dirt that mixed well with water. The finished result is a small kicker that is solid as a rock on my downhill mountain bike trail.
I have filmed some of the riding with a remote control cable cam and it looks awesome.
The Wiral LITE cable cam shots are so cool. The Wiral Lite is perfect for mountain biking.

This MTB trail build channel has been inspired by Seth at Berm Peak, Mark Matthews and his isolation series, Seth at Backyard Trail Builds, Sam Reynolds pump track and back yard jump line, Matt Jones and his compound and back yard jump line, Skills With Phil, Downhill Jake and many many more mountain bike trail builders. I can’t thank these people enough for sharing their content. It was videos like these that not only kept me entertained during lockdown but inspired me to get out and build my own trails.
Already looking like a professionally built trail, incredible cinematography and editing, keen to see what’s next 🤙
Thanks man. You will have to come down and ride it in a few weeks.
Yes!
That homemade sieve is genius.
It worked so well!!
Each of your edits gets better and better! Love the go pro on shovel shot, with a spin! Love seeing your personality with the sweater coming off. Absolutely love all the various angles of you riding and building, I’m sure it’s a lot of work but it really sets you apart. Keep the videos coming!!!!
Awesome. I really appreciate that!
Doggo just chilling the hole time🥰
Yup, she just loves sitting and hanging out. Unless she smells a kangaroo, then she takes off haha.
@@cutlaps😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Brits teaching you some tip and tricks eh mate! Trail is carving out nicely, epic work!!
Full of useful tips aren't ya
Great dirt work and nice looking trail
Cheers. Just wish I had a bit more free time to work on it. I walk around the property and can see trails going everywhere! I'm sure you are the same when walking your property. Thanks for subscribing.
@@cutlaps it's overwhelming at our property with all the things I want to do. I do this full time now and still not even close to getting it all done.
Yup I know the feeling well. That's so cool you can do it full time. That's the dream.
Loving the camera work!
Thanks! Takes a while to set it all up but it's worth it.
@@cutlapsI love the shovel povs
Great work. Loving the cable cam shots
Thanks mate. Stoked you checked out the channel. I may have to build myself a squirrel tail!
@@cutlaps not only checked out but sub’ed also. I can’t wait to see what you build next.
Thank you so much. Likewise
awesome videos - already looking forward to the next episodes 🙌
Cheers! I better get to work digging then! I'm pretty excited for the next feature. Should be a challenge for me.
You and Aggie are trail building pros! Awesome finishing skills on the trowel too mate. Love watching these mate, it's so satisfying watching the build in fast motion
Hahah the most she does is keep the killer kanagaroos away. Really pleased you are enjoying the progress.
tip. make all jump ramps longer then your bikes wheel base. that way both wheels get sent into the sky at the same time and it dosent feel like a speed hump and want to buck you. roughly 140cm long or bigger is best and gap to taste :P
Good tip for sure. Keep em coming
Just watched this again after UA-cam recommended it 8 months later, and again so entertaining. I just noticed a sneak peek at 4:20 and I LOVE how the music goes silent during your airtime at 9:01 oh and the wheelbarrow packing, genius!
Wait what was the sneak peek at 4:20? Thanks for rewatching. It's kinda funny to go back to the earlier episodes. My editing and storytelling has already come so far. I do think I will eventually do a second channel with more lowkey vlog style videos of the day to day stuff. I feel it will be similar to this. And then have the bif flashy builds and vidoes on my regular channel. But that is me day dreaming lol. I need to just focus on one channel for now.
@@cutlaps there is a short shot of a mechanical bucket at 4:20 which I don’t think you show the full backhoe until a later episode.
I like that your channel is fast paced. I just watched another trail builder slowly clear brush for 30 mins and it was too slow imo, I had to play it at 2x speed
Ohhh the excavator is first shown in episode 1... but it may have been cut out now. I can't remember. The earlier episodes used to be a bit longer and long winded so I used the UA-cam editing feature to cut some extra fluff. Maybe the video of 30 mins clearing bush could do the same haha.
Yup I have been learning a lot about UA-cam and keeping up the pace to keep viewers attention. It's been fun.
Those jumps have been finished and smoothened amazingly! Better than any of my own jumps for sure. This inspires me to start crafting them better :)
Thanks man! My first time properly smoothing a jump like this. Really pleased with the results and I think it will last longer.
i can already see the potential in this channel
Thanks! And that was only the second video. Features and videos are far better now.
That was so smooth
Thanks Sarah, I'm actually going to head back to this section and make some upgrades soon.
Spice it up 😆👏👍 love this Luke you are so clever
Thank you!! 😁 🌶🌶🌶
Lookin good creative shots shovel cam
Thanks! The shovel cam is a fun shot.
Awesome progression, filming and editing is too notch! Good to see the track foreman/doggo keeping an eye on things still
Thanks mate! Yeah not sure about this foreman! The amount of paw prints I had to clean up was a bit ridiculous.
This a nice jump, you can jump it as hard as you can or just barely pull up. Which is nice.
I'm going to make a dirt siv... I love how you get it smooth.
It works so well, and it was pretty cheap to make.
I've made one already
@@benhaymond3391 That was quick. Hope its working well.
Amazing Bro. Really Love it
Thanks Yuri! Glad you are watching.
Great narration. I absolutely love the cable-cam work. Looking amazing!
Thanks Cameron. The cable cam shots turned out great and they are a lot of fun to film. Have you ever used a cable cam?
Amazing video
Thanks Noah. I have been busy fixing this area up now. Making it even more fun.
Soo good, mate.
Cheers mate!
Favourite UA-camr
Haha you're just saying that to win a shirt! But it works lol
No actually you are
Dude that is amazing to hear! Thank you!
Wow that jump came out real smooth. looking forward to up new updates.
Yeah I was pretty stoked with it. Seems to be pretty solid so should survive a few storms.
Love the Channel. Great production, keep it up.
Thanks Jared, stoked you like it.
i love your trail! ive started my own trail and i know how hard it is to build. keep up the awesome work
Thanks so much! Lots of work in trail building but it's so rewarding.
Amazing work!!! Congrats Man!!! :)
Thanks a lot!
ur channel is so good idk how u only have 6.9k subs... u deserve 1m so keep it up
Thanks mate! My videos and builds have come along way since thise one thats for sure. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Love it! Hope removing an item of clothing in slow mo becomes a key feature of cutlap series. Suspect it will lead to a quick boom in subscribers!
Ahaha maybe the start of an onlyfans account!!
Love the new tunes, colour-matches shirt and titles, and the features looking really pro. Interested to see, as you are, how the new cement mix holds up over time. Fingers crossed.
Thanks! It's so nice to hear when people notice the finer details. Makes all the hardwork worth it.
@@cutlaps But sadly, the algorithm is fickle. How did the thumbnail experiments go? Better engagement?
Just found your channel mate and very nice videos.
Thanks for checking them out Diesel! New video dropping soon.
Look out UA-cam. Move aside, we have a new up and coming Mountain Bike channel.
Haha I'm not sure about that! Thanks for visiting the channel though. Did you watch the latest episode?
Awesome mate! Is this going to be open to public? If so where is it? Keep up the good work 😃
Thank you! The trail is on private property so just for family and friends at the moment (we are in covid lockdown right now so it's actually on me that gets to ride it sadly). Who knows what the future holds though... maybe an airbnb with private bike park? That could be pretty cool.
Yeah I'm in lockdown to in the Illawarra so I wasn't sure whether it would open eventually. Nice job.
Огонь.
Great Video! You could apply the chicken wire/net on all of your wood-constructions (woodn berm, skinny, drop, bridge, log boner) so you can improve the grip an you can it ride also when its wet
Yeah thats not a bad idea.
@@cutlaps I live in Southtyrol in Italy and in every bikepark are those chicken nets on literally every wooden piece on the line
Yes Luke!
Loving the Barrow and shovel POV angles (Insta 360?) The spin of the shovel and rake-hoe was especially sick!
Never seen such a stylish removal of a jacket either (4:28) nailed it to the beat so well 🤣
I imagine you're using a motorised gimbal of some sort for those smooth pushing shots?
Interested in what model and also what cameras/gear you are using in general??
The trail is looking sick already man, I reckon my MTB riding level is probably around or just worse than yours at this point in the series (I imagine you will improve quickly since you're riding a heap!)
Would love to come and ride the trail one day though 😁
Oh weird, this comment got marked as spam.
The majority of the shots including barrow and shovel were all taken with my gopro using the max lens mod. It keeps the horizon level no matter what. I do have a gimbal but don't use it for any of this footage. It only fits my old gopros. I find the new stabilisation in the GoPros is more than enough for my needs. Occasionally I will do some extra stabilisation in post but not much.
There are some cable cam shots at the end. And at the end of the previous episode is the only time I have used my insta360 in the series. There was a cable cam shot where I track myself on the bike. It's a cool feature but I find the quality is a bit low for my liking.
I would love to have an open day for people to come and ride the trail. I just want to make it a bit longer and a few more features first.
@@cutlaps awesome! Would love to see your gear listed somewhere in your about or video descriptions 😁
Bit of a nerd with that stuff myself.
@@doamono yeah that's a good idea. I had also thought about a behind the scenes episode or something as well.
@@cutlaps would definitely love a behind the scenes episode/channel for this build series 👌 I understand the time and effort that would go in to that being a 1 man show though!
Just trying to live my dream of actually creating content through someone who has slightly more time 😅
That poodles got to go though.
🙅 No Deal
Do you need special dirt to make the “paste” … awesome shooting. Do you use a drone?
I don't think I used any drone footage in this episode but I do have one. The movement shots were done with my remote control cable cam.
And for the dirt paste its good to have a mixture of dirt and clay. Too much clay and it shrinks and cracks way too much and if the dirt is too sandy it won't stick together. The kicker held up really strong to the recent rain.
@@cutlaps ah yes a cable cam, that makes sense …. I’ll give it a go at my trail
Your dog looks really clean! 😆
Haha well if you look at her at the start of the episode compared to the middle there is a big difference. She had a trip to the groomers. I didn't realise she could be so white
Looking sick, hope that berm holds up for the 450's! Couple horny bits in this video which is good to see mate!
😂🤣 trust you to get excited and horny mate. The 450s make their own berms mate.
Looking sick Luke, if you need a hand I'm down at the moment just shoot me a message.
Thanks Dylan, you going to give it a test ride as well?
@@cutlaps maybe but with my history probably not.
Thought that may be the case. But, you can go around or just roll over all of the features. And I have lots of protective gear you can borrow. Even solid motocross gear and a full face MTB helmet. I don't want to push you but I'm sure you would have a great time. It's way less sketchy than fire trails.
How do U only have a few subs. I thought you'd have a few million. You deserve it bro. You've sent a sub and like frome hopefully I can win a shirt ❤️
Thanks mate. Early days here for the channel. I doubt I'll ever get 1 million subscribers but it's nice to dream. Thanks for the sub and you definitely have a chance at winning!
