  • We're breaking ground on a backyard "Flow" Trail. The Goal for the build is to make the longest continuous downhill that'll make use of parts of our property that are currently not accessible. The other constraints for this build is that I want the riding surface to be dry for most of the year which will be tricky because many parts of this trail will weave through some nasty mud spots.

      I've been getting a bit too comfortable getting is sideways 😝
      Those thing's really work best on firm level ground. It's been quite the learning curve working in the woods with it these past few years.

      In case you flip it over, a couple of ratchet straps are actually all you need to lift a small excavator back up. Speaking from experience... 😅

    Nice progress on the trail and your use of the excavator. I’ve said it about you and Haley before, but cool to see you guys working on this together. Great relationship. Looking forward to Ep2.

      Hailey is an absolute workhorse. One of the first times i hung out with her was on our collegiate teams trail day, and she was doing more work with a broken leg and crutches than some able bodied member.

    Phil, you're doing a great job with these trails. It's great to see how much you are learning and sharing along the way. Keep it up.

      The rock armor creek crossing was one of the most interesting take aways from this project. If you have rocks at your disposal and it works with the trail, it is so much better than a bridge or a culvert. I do a bit more rock work in some of the next parts of the trail too.

    Dang that looks like a nice rock feature! If you get problems with water build up in the dirt section later on, it's super effective to add a french drain. I've done a few on our trails. Just a small trench across the trail, fill up with rocks, done. Barely noticeable on the bike, drains water really good.

    The 4 inches drainage tiles will be a problem. Water will fill up in that area and the around of pipe tail you have sticking out will float upward and not allow drainage. (Why it's so damp) The water is seaping through the dirt to get to other side. Use 6in - 12 in even in small drain areas. Always keep the head of drain under dirt. 12 in you don't have that worry. They don't move and the trail will be ridable after rains.

    • @PhilsWorld
      @PhilsWorld  Рік тому +3

      This part was built a year ago I can say with confidence that this setup has worked great and is rock solid. As far as why I don't use bigger pipe the main reason is they're considerably more expensive, 12 inch pipes are ~$12 per foot versus ~$1.15 per foot for the 4inch pipes. In regards to the tails, I left those there because I when I built it I wanted to air on the side of too much pipe than not enough. I was planning on trimming the ends off but never did, but since they're perforated pipes, it's been a non-issue.
