Transforming Our Backyard Into a Mountain Bike Wonderland - Route 301 Ep 6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2023
- This backyard trail build series covers the building process of building Route 301 - a trail top to bottom with a cat 301 mini Excavator. In the last video we built a Creek crossing to an inaccessible part of our woods. Thick Brush, creek crossing, and multiple and blow downs made it nearly impossible to access. In this video we put up from where we left off. We clear the corridor, chop up the fallen trees, build a second bridge, and then finish by building a 180 degree berm.

took ages to find somebody doing more technical digger work, working on slopes, managing rock and trees, offroad trails - great stuff 👍
technically im a good operator, good control and knowledge of landflows - but I dont know where the limits of the machine are.
great to keep watching and learning while off the job.
Man these thumbnails have been so good lately. I can't resist insta watching haha
Thumbnails are always an afterthought for me, i got really lucky with these last few! 😂
Came for the build. Jammed out to the backing track ~ 8min
I think I enjoy this channel more than you main channel now. There's something cathartic and relaxing watching you contemplate and build trail
Thank for the kind words. I wish I could post more of these. Most of the projects I tackle are time consuming and there's no way I'd be able to regularly upload content on a consistent basis without making sacrifices to other areas of my life. That's why amongst the reasons why I stopped posting this stuff on my main channel. If a video flopped, that was weeks worth of work down the drain. Here I can post things and not be too worried on how they perform.
That timelapse edit where you dropped the framerate, that is so eye candy to me! haha love it
I like stop motion effects when possible. I think for time lapses the it gives you a little more time to interpret whats going on but it also looks animated.
@@PhilsWorld yeah super simple and super effective! I like how pro you are with the machinery too! Very cool videos Phil!
Non related but, will come ride in Quebec again next summer?
Loving the laser beam disco song for the time lapses.
This is awesome! Your videos rule. Making me excited for the green to come back.
Do the tracks on your machine extend back out? Our Kubota U17 gets tippy when we tuck the tracks in. Shrinking the width is such a cool feature for sneaking between trees and past rocks and stuff.
They do! I've been trying to build with the tracks in skinny mode more often as it forces me to build trails a bit thinner. That's something I've picked up from a local builder who I respect a lot. It depends on what I'm trying to do, but when it makes sense I'll extend them.
Wow Phil, awesome trail building plus following the process as you talk us through what’s in your head.
If I had that in my backyard, and if I built it I would be giving myself high distinctions.
I think you’re being modest.
Thanks👍
The camera angle at 28:45 there's a sharp stump sticking up that looks ready to impale someone that messes up that gap. Might be good to take that out.
I'm not sure how that one snuck by quality control. 😬
We just went out and it's indeed there. A lot easier to see in the winter! ua-cam.com/users/shorts03g2fzZV708
am still baffled how is your bunnyhop so strong, damn.
Have you looked at driving some of those logs in vertically to create solid pile legs for the bridge?
I was watching youtuber Chucky Wright use his One Wheel on a long bike trail in Florida, it went pretty well, that could be an added feature for your system.. One Wheel riding adventure.. Thanks Phil... 👍👍
I've tried. You can ride it down most of our trails, but the motor doesn't quite have enough torque to climb back out on it currently.
@@PhilsWorld he was having problem with rocks and hills he was going to use his bike next time
I feel I'm going to have to go back and re-watch your storm video to see whether these bridges worked! 😉😉🤘🏼
These faired great no issues at all!
Have to ever though of buying a second hand portable mill that you could use to harvest your own lumber to make bridges and features? Seeing all your downed, straight as an arrow trees got me thinking.
I have considered it but haven't needed it enough yet to justify it. I'd also prefer a stationary mill vs Alaskan mill. Getting the wood in and out isn't much of a problem.
On site harvesting/milling/building is sooo satisfying and considering dimensional prices lately…
Luckily Dimensional lumber prices have fallen quite a bit, but I'm with you there. Native rough sawn lumber just looks better and way more rewarding.
@@PhilsWorld exactly
I’m about that make it all where you’re at life. Now if we could just figure out how to onsite smelt some timberlocks…
Solid, dude. Looks like good fun, especially with all the little gaps and side hits. I assume you build the whole bridge loop already this last summer BEFORE that nasty flood event on your property happened around Xmas? How did the bridge foundation hold up in these raging flash floods? You're basically building in a creek bed, wonder how your log foundation was taking it. Thanks for great content.
never mind, should have read the other comments first! Glad it's holing up.
First thanks for reading the other comments and responses, i appreciate that. I'll definitely check on it again, especially after the spring thaw, but I think it'll fair fine.
I'm thinking you could have some serious retaining walls with those logs interlocked by drilling through and putting Rebar, but I'm just a youtuber who watches a lot of other building youtubers lol
How have the two bridges and their foundations held up with your recent rains?
They faired up great, but I'll continue to monitor them over time and reinforce them when/if needed.
Spiral ladder Bridge to get up and over the creek crossing(at the 4:20 mark in the vid)
haven't finished the video yet, but the bit with the crumbling embankments made me think, "suspension bridge hung off the trees!"
I actually did consider going with a suspension bridge but after I thought about it more I decided it wasn't the direction I wanted to go.
Do you need permits or inspections on the bridges if you are letting third parties use the trails?
These aren't open to the public, but
I'd be surprised if even the bridges at bike parks need inspections.
I think your bridge and new trail will be washed out on a heavy rain. There’s a reason the trees roots washed out and fell over.
Luckily that's not the case. We've had several very heavy rain storms since, and the bridge is doing just fine.
Lol at 2:15 you were moving the camera tripod with the bucket on the excavator. Dude if this mountain biking thing ever gets lame you can pull 100k a year on jobsite
I don't think you could pay me enough to sit in a cab all day. These things are fun, but theres a limit to how much time i can be in one.
hey, what are you going to do to mitigate sedimentation/erosion next to your creek? You seem to move a lot of earth near them without much regard to the habitat of the crayfish you're harboring
Bruh…
Obviously you’ve never built trail with a machine
For context there's a dirt road that runs along the creek higher up. This road is graded multiple times a year and left uncompacted for several weeks. Inevitably during that time there will be several rain storm that washes road material into this very creek. Any sediment that found its way into the stream is from this project is minuscule in comparison. That being said, ecology was one of my favorite classes, and I do take plenty of steps to make sure my impact is low. Any non riding surface was covered in native organic matter from the woods (twigs, leaves, pin needles, duff etc). We reinforced the existing creek embankment to help slow down the natural erosion and soil creep. Come spring, this area will be overgrown with new growth and you won't be able to tell we were here.
Hey phil, really random question but what breed of cat is smokey?
Long haired grey tabby :)
you should buy an alaskan mill to cut your own planks
I've thought about them a lot, but ultimately i don't think it'd be that useful for what I'm doing. I have enough infrastructure that moving the lumber out and milling it with a bandsaw mill is more the direction I'm leaning if i decide to go that route.
@@PhilsWorld A stationary sawmill is the way to go, with all the lumber on your property and the mini-ex you have! Alaskan sawmills are for remote locations, and they chew up your saw like nothing else.
You could have built a big boner log and used it as a bridge (only cost a few trees
The goal with this project was the maximize the length of this trail. It was a balance of making it fun, ridable to both Hailey and me, blend into the landscape and and also useful for summer and winter sports. Now that the trail is established and we know what kind of speeds we are carrying, making more advanced lines is still an option and will be much easy to build now that the cleanup work is done.
What the hell is a Crik???
Oh! You mean Creek like how it sounds creeeek? 🤔
🤭🤣🤣🤣👍
Sounds a visit to the audiologist is in your future because your ears aren't working that well.
