Thanks for swinging by Seth! Come back any time for more cracks at the Giraffe:-) Looking forward to your take on the Duluth trails, and also looking forward to posting Park Tool's vids, stay tuned!
I was trained by Calvin at Barnett's back in the early 90's and had met him years before when he was a shop mechanic in Austin. He's a great guy who made classes fun!
Park Tool is awesome. Totally overhauled my hard tail this weekend, and I've got their tools and videos to thank for it. Sure, the cost of tools isn't fun, but learning to do it myself was, and saving on the repair costs isn't something to sneeze at in the long run. Cheers all around
A friend of mine asked me to bring a bike to a trade show for some demonstrations. I thought my commute bike was in pretty good working order till I handed it over to Calvin. Within seconds he found stuff wrong with it and was thrilled to show everyone. Happy to say Calvin has worked on my commute whip!
Leading figures like you and Park Tool's Pros made it possible for me to maintain my bike better and better. Thank you very much for your great jobs-and the great Park Tool tools as well.
Park has been around.... Forever! They continue to make tools right here in the USA. I'll gladly pay to support my fellow Americans. Their UA-cam videos are the best. Awesome you got a chance to hang. Great work Seth
Loved this! Especially the taco holder. I just ate a couple tacos myself! Everyone at Park Tool seems really cool, and there's no doubt, they are the most high quality bike tools out there!
Ive bought park tools a few times, and they have worked great. never thought it was this laid back at the factory, feels nice to have supported them now :) great video.
I live in Minesota! *You should have set up a riding day!!!* Also, does anybody know of good trails to ride in the area just south of Minneapolis? I know Duluth and northern Minnesota have great trails butbi don't live up there.
RandomTwiggster check Trailforks, there are trails all over the cities. The closest to Minneapolis is probably theo wirth park, but there are great trails all over the place
Allot of channels I get into I get bored of and move on, You are not one of them. Your videos have definitely changed but for the better. You not only have better gear but more experience and even though all your videos are about one thing (bikes) they are each entirely different and fresh. You aren't just making entertainment though, you are what got me to save up $250 (I know that's not that much but I didn't have a job back then) to buy a used Cannondale trail 5. And I use that thing, Even though I can technically drive (I'm 16) I don't because I'm enjoying the commute to school,to the mall, or anywhere I go that's relatively close to my house on my bike.
It is money well spent JakesNew. So ride you bike to work and fix a few sandwiches for lunch and save what you would have spent on fuel and eating out and over time you will have the money to buy it!
Hey Seth, here's a bike hack, you can use a piece of old inner tube to put a hand pump right next to the "basic" water bottle cage, you just have to undo the top screw and put the tube in the middle of the screws, and you just put the pump next to it and done, Ow and also love your vids, keep up the good work👌🏻
Looks like an amazing corp culture and even better people. I like the fact that taco's have made it all the way up to Minnesota. Living in SA TX taco's are a big part of my life as well! Great works Seth amazing content and hope to get my self back into biking shape!
I bought a Park TS- 2 wheel truing stand and tilting base over 25 years ago, and I'm still using it today... It's paid for itself several times over.. I also have a DAG 2 derailleur hanger adjustment tool, and a Park PRS-21 super light repair stand...I also own lots of small Park tools like spoke keys, and cassette and bottom bracket tools....
I live in MN and never knew that there were bike parks here. There is a bike park close to my home, but it isn't much. I'm glad too find out that there are good bike parks as close as Duluth.
Before this i sort of viewed Parktool as corporate industry, but seeing this made me feel much better about buying their stuff. It is still privately owned and is run by bikers for bikers. Nice.
That's so awesome! I hope you stopped in the Hayward, WI area on your way back as well. I grew up around there, and biking is growing quick around there. I haven't been on them personally but there is an extensive system there!
I have as many Park tools as I can find. Living in Thailand, they are scarce and expensive so I get what I need when in the states. Thanks for the video Seth.
Great company run by some great people. Love how they made that taco stand add on just for you. As for deluth and northern Michigan, they have some great trail systems.
I hope you had a great time in my home town. It’s too bad you got rained out. Murphey Leb and Elm are probably three of the best the Twin Cities have to offer in my opinion.
Thanks for swinging by Seth! Come back any time for more cracks at the Giraffe:-)

We’re can I get aTH1
That taco holder is so stupid
Park tools are the best and only tools in my shop
Oh, come on, I really wanted a taco holder, PLEASE RELEASE IT
Have you guys made a pancake flipper(A spatula lol)? If not, you totally should.
Any CEO that can ride the Giraffe is a pretty cool one in my book!
you will have Get One Brian you would look cool on one buddy lol ;0)
And he allows three-wheeler racing on the shop floor, very cool.
Without helmet on :D!!
I freaking love CEOs that actually have a grasp on their own industry. Too many CEOs these days are purely businessmen
This comment aged like Milk.
You know you've made it when Park Tool makes a new tool in your honor.
It's so cool seeing you expand from humble beginnings in Florida to now. Love your channel
This guy inspired me so Mutch to lean how to ride
he had come this far 4 years ago, look at our man now!
I was trained by Calvin at Barnett's back in the early 90's and had met him years before when he was a shop mechanic in Austin. He's a great guy who made classes fun!
Loved seeing a behind the scenes look at Park Tool!
Come on now, we're all waiting for a Worldwide Cyclery behind the scenes with SOMEONE.... Come on boys!
I can't tell if that taco holder is a joke, it's brilliant 😂😂
Its deffinetly not
It is 100% not
Not a joke. They made a pizza cutter also. Still looking for one!!
Brisdad53 Haha still no idea!!!!
Who needs taco when you have ajvar

2:00
Oh my god! I never thought of using an air compressor to remove grips! That's genius!
mind blown
fr? everyone knows that trick lol
Saw this video and orders the Tire Leavers and Chain Lube. I need to replace my Bike Tries and Some lube will do good on my chain.
I've known of Park Tool for a long while now, but this video really shows the nice, wholesome people behind the company!
the ending is always the best part! 😜
ya!
I don't mind the beginning, the middle part and everything in between neither
Loved seeing inside Park Tool. You're spot on about them being an authority in bike repair. They also seem like a really awesome bunch of people.
Love both channels- awesome collaboration- The taco holder is a great bit of kit!
Leading figures like you and Park Tool's Pros made it possible for me to maintain my bike better and better. Thank you very much for your great jobs-and the great Park Tool tools as well.
Awesome seeing a local business on your channel!
Park has been around.... Forever! They continue to make tools right here in the USA. I'll gladly pay to support my fellow Americans. Their UA-cam videos are the best. Awesome you got a chance to hang. Great work Seth
I've got one of their work stands. It wasn't cheap. But I'm still glad I bought it. Makes working on my bike super easy !
Park's stuff isn't the cheapest, but it's quality, well-designed and will last a LONG time.
Park Tool was Hazel Park Cycle!?!? Whoa...grew up near Hazel Park in St Paul, mind blown!!!
Duluth is my favorite place to ride! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Mission Creek is my fav🙂
Looks like Seth hit piedmont, can't wait for that video!!!
Cheesy, but very funny!
They make dry, bike mechanical learning a bit easier to digest. Kinda like that Seth guy from those old car stereo clips.
The jazzy background music bring back memories for the good ol’ days of the ye old Seth’s bike hacks video
Park Tools are great and their outlook on biking and their customers makes me want to come back again...
Your Videos got me into Mountainbiking and since then im riding all the time. Great Video again keep it up.
Loved this! Especially the taco holder. I just ate a couple tacos myself! Everyone at Park Tool seems really cool, and there's no doubt, they are the most high quality bike tools out there!
Hi Seth i really like your videos and I hope you keep them up, especially your bmx series, I loved that series
Ive bought park tools a few times, and they have worked great. never thought it was this laid back at the factory, feels nice to have supported them now :) great video.
I did not know this is in Minnesota!! That's home for me!!!
Talk about living the dream. Going to the Parktool factory would be a dream come true for a lot of us bike nerds.
Wow. Fantastic ✌️
I have been watching their channel for long time. Super great at helping fixxing problems
Best mountain biking channel
I live in Minnesota and I absolutely love this. Also can’t wait for the Duluth ride since I have done a mountain bike race there.😎
8:31 Oh, that moment everybody realized Seth is gonna jump out of there
Seth!!! I'm waiting on some new tires and upgrades in the mail! Thanks for keeping me sane since I can't ride!
What a quality channel!!!
Go Seth! Go Park Tools! Best UA-cam channels together! What a treat!
Got a growing collection of park tools in my tool box. Their wire/cable cutters are one of my favourites
I love your vids Seth, I'm getting a nicer bike soon and I'm so siked up, you got me into the sport
Awesome to know you visited a nearby area! Hope you enjoyed what you could for trails up in Duluth, can't wait to here about it!
Awesome video I love Park Tool
I just saw this.. what a great video! I was working on my Bike and ended up watching the whole thing! Thanks for the great content and the break! :)
Hahaha, really enjoyed this one Seth!
I love watching park tool videos they helped me with my derailleur adjustment
Your the reason I mountain bike!😁
Connor Phillips same here

I am on the mountain bike team that Calvin helps with and I was there when the trail work got rained out, that was a ton of rain
You can’t beat parktools videos on repairs. Where I ride there’s cell service so I’ve used them a lot on trail side repairs.
I think I've played too many video games... @5:34 my brain saw him riding that bike and it kinda looked like a bad clipping issue. 🙃
You mean the wheel partially sunk into the ground? haha
Trail Features
Also dropping frames 😂
I'm a truck driver. Never in my life have I seen a dock load a unicycle. Awesome!
That must be the funniest job to work there 😂😂
Been waiting for another Seth's Bike Hacks video. One of the best parts of every week is always when Seth uploads
# Notification squad
Great video totaly worth the wait from the editing you had to do can't wait for next week's video
Say I only have $500 what is a good bike to get

Jace get something used
The specialized pitch got redesigned for 2018, and is now a true mountain bike. Starts at $500. Check it out.
Jace a Harley
My first serious bike was $675
In 1993... wtf has become of bikes?
I waited two weeks for this?? WORTH IT!!!
I love park tool and their products, but I’m not spending all that money on their repair stand
It is money well spent JakesNew. So ride you bike to work and fix a few sandwiches for lunch and save what you would have spent on fuel and eating out and over time you will have the money to buy it!
Yeah man that was great! Really cool to see company. I love seeing that trailer at shows. Hope to see more vids from Whistler.
Hey Seth I have a hard tail mob bike with skinny tire what would you say the limits are
Hey Seth, here's a bike hack, you can use a piece of old inner tube to put a hand pump right next to the "basic" water bottle cage, you just have to undo the top screw and put the tube in the middle of the screws, and you just put the pump next to it and done,
Ow and also love your vids, keep up the good work👌🏻
Come to sweden pls
What an amazing group of people, my tools park tool of course! Cheers!

Ride Whistler
I miss the videos glad you uploaded again
PICKLE RICK!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me or does all the people who commented on this video have weird usernames
It is so true
I bought a Park TS- 2 wheel truing stand and tilting base over 25 years ago, and I'm still using it today... It's paid for itself several times over.. I also have a DAG 2 derailleur hanger adjustment tool, and a Park PRS-21 super light repair stand...I also own lots of small Park tools like spoke keys, and cassette and bottom bracket tools....
clearly not FIRST
I live in MN and never knew that there were bike parks here. There is a bike park close to my home, but it isn't much. I'm glad too find out that there are good bike parks as close as Duluth.
Average opening shot... haha
Best part of my week is seeing that new video notification.

StyleLife Game Play wow
StyleLife Game Play oi tudo Bem? Eu fui ao Brasil. Eu gosto muito. Vamos Canarinhos!

StyleLife Game Play congratulations
Before this i sort of viewed Parktool as corporate industry, but seeing this made me feel much better about buying their stuff. It is still privately owned and is run by bikers for bikers. Nice.
118th
I learned nearly everything I know about working on bikes from those Park Tool videos!
very over priced in my opinion
Ryan Fowlow only because they are the number one authority on bicycle tools.
I never even considered the Park Tool would have a UA-cam channel. Thanks for showing this.

Aussie Truck Photos and Models Reviews good job
Daniel the awesome ?
Aussie Truck Photos and Models Reviews Good job.

At my college in Kansas we had this freshmen my junior year who ride one one bigger than that one it was so rad to see. Awesome video!
never heard of park tool guys till now. very impressed
I have as many Park tools as I can find. Living in Thailand, they are scarce and expensive so I get what I need when in the states. Thanks for the video Seth.
This is EXACTLY how a company should be! this was awesome Thanks Seth!
I didn't realize they had their own channel. I love their tools and whatnot, soooooo, subscribed!
This was the quickest 10 minutes of my life. That's how good this was
Great company run by some great people. Love how they made that taco stand add on just for you. As for deluth and northern Michigan, they have some great trail systems.
its honestly crazy how fast your channel is growing. Happy to see the new vid and looking forward to 1mil :)
I hope you had a great time in my home town. It’s too bad you got rained out. Murphey Leb and Elm are probably three of the best the Twin Cities have to offer in my opinion.
Watching Seth a day before I start vacation. Life is good!
Your channel just keeps getting awesome! 😃👍
Not sure how I have lived here for 12 years and didn't know that was near my old house... really cool to stumble on this!
Your videos make me so freaking happy!!! I love your channel! You're my favourite youtuber!!! 😍
I like their videos they helped me figure how to take off a geared cassette so I could turn it in to a single speed. Great UA-cam videos.
Pretty cool behind the scenes with Park Tool. Neat to see a different perspective into a company I support.
I appreciate the inside look and the giant unicycle.
