Wow! You are very underrated, i saw the vid and expected atleast 500k followers but ur just under 1k. U deserve much more man. The quality and effort in ur videos is amazing.
Even with an out slope you will get water running down the trail after a tread has been burned in from wheels. You did Roman mention the grade reversal which then will automatically direct water. I believe in insloping trails Especially when a corner dictates a berm. Then all water is removed at a drain, or grade reversal. Just like how roads are built just on a smaller scale.
@@RAWAdventuresMTB no videos, hopefully soon, but like I said just like roads and most bike parks are constructing like this. It does disrupt the sheeting of the rain water so drains have to be thoughtfully placed as well as frequent. But I wouldn’t inslope, a left-hand corner with the upslope going to the right , I will obviously outslope that to create a natural berm, also will be one of my drains. You do a great job in explaining factors, and procedure, not to mention a good looking end product.
I agree, I dig in hard and berm corners as much as possible. I just maintenance any areas that get any ruts. Eventually you have a more hard-core trail, of course I’m in Las Vegas and we don’t have soil/dirt just various sized rocks.
Hey I want to make a Trail in a field and it’s covered with grass and the ground is really hard so I can’t use a shovel or a pic axe what do you think I should do?
Hey, you may have to bring in dirt and for berms and jumps. But there is always to option of waiting for the rainy season. I would personally just clear the grass and build a fast flat trail. Sometimes the terrain dictates the trail you end up building.
@@howiseeitmtb7327 I'm picturing tall, dry grass. So scrubbing a shovel over the ground is good or a mattock does the job. There may be "baby heads" so using a mattock to remove the "core of the grass. One core = a bunch of grass. You can buy lightweight swinging tools that cut grass but it wont remove everything
Hey i have a lot of trees and that green mesh or sum idk how its called in my spot ( its not a mountain a little hill) should we use pickaxes or other tools?
If it's thick and mossy, a hoe will cut through really well. If you're talking about loam (built-up pine needles and debris) a rake works well to clear it before using hoe to bench the trail. You really want to make sure to not include soft material into your trail because it may not compact well and break away while riding.
This is why environmental groups and government agencies are studying ways to ban off road vehicles, including bikes. Users cause immense damage to habitat, increase erosion, and damage habitat.
No there not , pathetic fearmongering at best ! Its been proven that mountain biking causes less disturbance to wild life and nature than walking and especially dog walking .
government agency's are always trying to ban things like biking which basically have no impact on wildlife but want to build apartment complexes on each but of land that is not concrete or a front yard. 8/10 rage bait 100% got me

Insloping? Sounds interesting! Do you have videos showing it?

Ok and how do Suggest I cut the grass without powertools

what is the book? the amazon link in the description is broken
Aw man, seems like it's getting harder to find. The book is called "Trail Solutions. IMBA's guide to building sweet singletrack"
what's the name of the trailbuilding book?

I feel like there must be a machine that does this. That is way too much manual labor for me!😂
Hahaha, you and me both

@@onsight2822plus it keeps the animals an shape cos you know once they hear the bike they’re zooming for the hills.
Yeah cheers , that aswell 👍
i'd rather ride my bike than use my car, game on my pc, netflix...
