Building Berm Park Ep 1 (Breaking Ground & Making History)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Finally after two years of dreaming, fundraising, and waiting, Berm Park is officially under construction! To build a public mountain bike park has been the subject of our Patreon page since 2019. We didn't know how we would do it or where it would be built, but piece by piece it came together. Now, with a combination of funding from Patrons and outside sponsors, we're building Berm Park in Canton, NC, USA within a larger park to be called "Chestnut Mountain Park".
The first trail completed was "On the Fly", by Diamondback Bicycles. Check out the line of hard tail mountain bikes the trail is named after here www.diamondbac...

Crazy how he’s gone from bike hacks to building a whole public bike park
Can't wait for the first Birm Park Hacks episode. haha
@@netposerx 😂that'd be great
He went from radio repair videos to building mean bike trails lol
Absolutely, big respect Seth.
I remember when he was riding skinny lines and street on his Trek 4900.
Seth went from a dude with one mountain bike in his garden starting a UA-cam channel to literally helming the build of an entirely new bike park. what a hero!
Honestly, I find this completely inspiring as well. Seth has approached his life like mountain biking-with progression, working hard and building to bigger and bigger things, and always looking to make a positive impact.
Seth You will always be known and remembered as one of the greatest Mountain bikers who ever lived. Way to leave the world better than you found it.
Most influential, maybe.. greatest? Ever seen rampage?
@@weedshoes5089
He said greatest, not most skilled.
@JaCoB tbh yeah
@@DinnerForkTongue Important distinction. I suppose it depends on which metrics you would base your assessment of "greatest".
@@weedshoes5089 My metrics for greatest aren't dependent on skill it's dependent on character. Seth has been able to connect with millions of people who mountain bike and get many more into it because of his exceptionally well made content that's approachable and fun to watch for everyone. He's given kids new bikes and helped found a public bike park, I could careless if he won every Redbull Rampage every UCI world cup or Sea Otter he just rides his damn bike and helps his local mountain biking community in profound positive ways. That my friend is true greatness.
I've never been mountain biking in my life, and yet there's something about these videos and this channel that I love.
He was the one that got me into it. I got my first bike a month ago and can't stop riding. If your into it, chase your dreams. There is no other feeling in the world like riding your own bike!
He got me into it and im so stoked about this new project
Get a good entry level hardtail and get out there! I got mine recently and have been going any spare time I have
we’re glad to have allies, whether or not you ride bikes!
You should get into it, no matter where you live it is a sport worth every pennny
I’m lost
It went from tree covered death traps to a professional park in seconds
its that easy
JOKING
Fast forward key, son!!
I mean to be fair it is 2 different places
@@tinzalix8624 yea
Welcome mate. Now go buy a bike
That one guy who just keeps front wheel bonking that one jump lol.
Only one way to practice
It’s called a nose case
@@AxxLAfriku bro call an ambulance XD
@@AxxLAfrikuummm do you need help?
@@darthjarjar2742 i think someone is on crack, he said he has such a huge following in another comment but only has 33K, kinda ironic that i have less but i don't say i have much tho
It’s heartwarming to see that the people building these trails are mountain bikers. I had this idea of a corporate company just following instructions. But these are three guys testing the trails they just crafted! So awesome.
Amazing work the team is putting together. So cool to see an entire community rally behind an idea and a leader to push it. Well done, Seth! 💪
crazy to see you here, love your builds!
Wish I had a bike park like this in louisiana 😔
I can’t believe how much UA-cam helps with stuff like this. BCPOV making stone starlet, a public trail and this trail just two hours from me . I can’t for this wait to be finished! We are all behind you!
@Robert Carleski thanks dude! I can already envision party laps all day!
Berm Park is only 3 hours from me, that seems like a reasonable morning drive, lappppps then drive home.
@@icon0clast274 I agree, a 2-3 hr drive is worth it all day to ride trails from one of the most famous MTB UA-camrs out there!
Interesting to see the building process differences between this park and BCPOV's mostly hand made trail.
@@adamgaisser1875 It really shows the difference in how people make their trails, I think the handmade way is cooler, but for one trail it works, on the contrary for an entire trail system machinery is better
Finally Seth is going to complete his dream not only his dream but our dream also. I will visit when I will get chance. Big Fan.😀😀😀🚲🚲🚲
Thank You Seth for the Heart.
Same
Why don't you see if you could help build it? That would be cool!
@@JerryPonds there wouldn’t be much for him to do no offense. Seth said that the machines take care of almost all the business.
You automatically lost the heart because you edited your comment
@@phaelox 😂 lol
Can anyone admire the fact that there’s just a train of three construction workers just sending it😂
This makes me so happy. I’ve seen Seth grow so much. He got me into mountain biking. I remember him in Florida doing some small bike stuff. And now he has a fricken bike park. He’s grown so much. I aspire to be like Seth Alvo someday. A big dream of mine. Great Video!!!
Seth is a secret fan of Kerbal Space Program
Berm peak gaming channel
@@andrewbolger5258 is
I love KSP
How do you figure?
I was just about to say lmao
@@pinchpeak5203 Breaking ground and Making history are DLCs for KSP.
I love how these guys are are in full builder gear and still look sick riding this trail
Lol
Right!
If Seth designed the trails he’d have to bench out a helipad for the inevitable daily medevac.
I can already see the title: "Building a literal snake pit skinny at Berm Park"
Seth: "This bike park is free"
*Everyone that isn't in America* :* dies inside*
Edit: For all the people confused. I'm saying that *Seth's bike park* isn't free outside of America. Not that there are no free bike parks outside of America.
My thoughts exactly
Everyone that isn’t in America: At least we have single payer healthcare to cover costs of dying inside
@@calvin2032 True😬
in Australia there's a fair few free mountain bike parks
Almost all mountain biking in Scotland is free.
Seth your the best youtube channel keep it up!
Ya he is my favourite
Seth is #1
This is gonna be an awsome trail system
Hey Seth. I'm really happy for you. You get to enjoy a dream. UA-cam has afforded you a chance of your dream. Thank you to every sponsor as well. Since " covid " I've had to sell all my mountain bikes. So your joy brings me joy. Watching your videos I still get the feel of being on a bike. Keep up the great work. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!
I felt sad when I read this, MTB has literally stopped me from going insane during these times. I truly hope you are able to find a bike a get back out there. Stay safe.
At the time I sold my bikes I was more concerned about taking care of my family. The money from them kept a roof over their head and food in their stomach. I might not be able to get a new bike ever again. But even a big box bike can get you on 2 wheels again.
That's rough. So many people where impacted during covid. I wish the best for you and your family. My family and I were effected, but I was still able to ride my mountain bike. I know that was a privilege as so many people didn't have that luxury.
Is this a Kerbal Space Program reference? 👀 👀
.. possibly 👀
You have inspired me so much. I have been building lots of trails and jumps around my neighborhood and I have noticed how many different skill levels and ages are riding them. I just want to say thank you for all the inspiration and videos! Keep up the good work!
Video ideas:
A video where you test the strength of different MTB components such as handlebars, pedals and crankset
A house tour (not really MTB related but something that could fit the BPE channel)
A video where you do a review on the “trickstuff trixer” brake
Yess that would be Awesome
When the funky music came on with the 3 riders riding the trail I had flashbacks of watching Warren Miller ski movies in the 1970s. Thanks for the nostalgia!
“Scores of would be stock drivers were robbed of the chance to drive Toyota Camreys in an oval” -Seth
"Here comes that turny thing again"
Watch the south park episode "poor and stupid"
Same tired hookie joke every time
Yeah Wyatt, we all just heard Seth say that. So why repeat it in the comments? Don't you have anything original to contribute?
As a water resource and environmental engineer, I was absolutely here to watch all the beautiful footage of your stormwater runoff mitigation, drainage swale protection and E&S control measures. I'll take a whole episode on your basin design and E&S/PCSM plans!
Man this is my favourite channel, My heart goes like a washing machine when you upload a new video because that means i can binge watch it in record time 😁
You can’t binge watch one episode. It doesn’t work like that
That stoppie tho-mind blown,bro he's got skills for dayyyzzz
Who else gets chills when he posts
Yea
I just get super excited
Me
Me too
bro what?
OH MAN!!! This is the most exciting thing ever!
Real ones only Remember berm creek 😭
The real real only remember Markham Park.
Haha fr
The real ones remember the glass patio table
@@cormacrohda319 thats where i learned to fix my bike
Cool project. Love how you give back to the community. Quality and depth of dirt over there seems unbelievable! No rocks at all!!! It's like cutting a cake!
Already know this is going to be a banger 🤟🤟🤟
Yep
From Maryland..See you in the fall with a massive crew ! Can't wait to shred this. Thank you for everyone involved for your hard work!!!!!!
This is a start of something big, something exiting and something epic. And im in!
this is so sick. from Florida telling us how to do drops properly off park benches, to building a huge park with excavators and full-time workers, it been a privilege to watch this channel grow! I'm sure your son will grow up learning to do gnarly whips here, what an amazing place! love you seth
Clicked as soon as I saw it. Would be awesome to visit the Berm Park one day
Hey man, your videos have been the best because of you I have been able to have fun mountain biking and make through quartine; thanks, man.
Keeps getting better and better
Oh man, this is gonna be such a good boost for the community and local business! Something that can draw the right kind of turism is always good!
A hard salute to Seth and everyone that got involved and got this going! 👍
That case animation tho 👌
I CANT WAIT TO COME AND RIDE THESE TRAILLLSSS. Im in the Triad of NC, and you bet I have summer plans to come to Canton!!!!!!! Ever since I stumbled on your channel seth, and subsequently found out ur in NC... ive been a die hard fan, and seeing the fruits of ur labor prosper is amazing! The community locally and at large are very very grateful for everything you bring to the community!!!!
I've been watching you for a couple years now and it brings tears to my eyes knowing that you're dream is coming true!
So stoked that you guys are making such great progress. So stoked to see this park a couple miles from my childhood home. Thank you Seth for being a big part of making this happen. I live in Wilmington,NC now but me and the fam make it up there 3 or 4 times a year. The park will be 2 miles from where we stay. This will be awesome. Yeeeeeew🤙
I don't even live anywhere near where this park is being built and I am still so excited
Same
Man, Seth... From the little hacks from years ago to this! Serious big respect. If I lived there I'd be one of the volunteers.
When you drove through Asheville a day before this released:
*sad bike noises*
I was just there a week ago and I was waiting for a update to berm park! A week too late :(
I imagine the harsh sound of old rim brakes as sad bike noises
I must say, I found your UA-cam last summer during the first lockdown's and I don't MTB and I still come and love your videos
I’m like what a miracle I thought he just posted we love you seth
Holy crap! This is BIG! Sweet job Seth!
this is gonna be absolutely amazing
I think I just Drooled a little bit! I can't wait to bring friends and family to the park! Thanks Seth for investing in the community 👍.
always a good day when seth uploads
I love the fact that Seth is building something like this for people. Especially those living in North Carolina which I do! So I'll be excited to give this place a try when it opens. Good luck seth.
I’ve never clicked so fast in my life
Sane

Same
Lol, right
YES
I'm honestly most excited that this is free. The southeast is starting to get a lot of cool bike parks, but they all seem to be private operations you have to buy a pass to ride on. There are so many cool bike parks out west (not ski lift parks mind you) that are just public parks and open to everyone. We need more Duthie Hill bike parks in our life.
If I could thumbs up this video more than once I would continue to hit the like button for the duration of the video, anyone else stoked about berm park?
Definitely, it's going to be rad!
Can’t wait to shred this place, thank you for all your efforts in making this happen..
Sweeeet!
GG first!
I don’t even bike but I love your videos! The voiceovers the riding everything!
I’m not the only that’s beyond excited to shred berm park. Right?
Meet you there!
@@omnivorouscarbon4234 where is it located?
I wish i could :( i live to far away
@@definitelynotv1ncecuh857 Same, I live in Alberta
I whant to go
I live 15 minutes from here and I could not be more excited. What a legacy to leave for the people who helped make it possible! Such a humble dude.
With a this title I now realise that Seth is a secret fan of Kerbal Space Program
You guys are the best and thank you for making access to it FREE for everyone!
Why does this feel like a documentary! 😅
From Riders all over the country. Thank you Seth! You the man!
if Seth uploads its as rare as finding a bike park founded by a UA-camr.
Oh so AWESOME! I love it when Napcar takes a back seat to Mountain Bikes.
Imagine the NASCAR track with the berm park in the middle. Would be cool
No , absolutely NOOO , no Nascar track
@@lefthorse1 a jump over the track would be cool😂
Just love it Seth, everyone's going to love it but most importantly you're giving kids something to do thats outside and in nature. What a great contribution. May sound a bit ridiculous but this kind of stuff saves lives.
Hey you. Yes, you. The random person I would never meet. I truly hope that you would find happiness in life. Today is going to be a great day. blessings and love✍️💯♥️❤️♥️❤️
My mom died
This really true
Candice died.
It's been fun to watch this story and journey progress. Awesome to see trails built and a sneak peak into what some of it will be like. You're doing a lot for the sport of mountain biking and helping people access cool trails.
This is awesome! I've been going to Canton for almost 30 years to see my grandparents who live there so now I have extra reason to drive up from Greensboro. Now someone REALLY needs to buy Ghost Town in The Sky and turn it into a downhill park. The chair lifts are already there!
I love watching your videos and watching how you build your great trails, can't wait to see what comes next in Berm Park!
This place will produce a whole slew of pro riders. Little groms will be coming here all the time since its free and have such an amazing opportunity to grow their skills from such a young age. Being public makes all the difference! Thank you Seth
Hope your foot is feeling better and your baby is too. Thanks for all your help your videos provide 👌
That wooden step down is perfect for a little long jump comp between friends in the future 👌
I can't wait for this! This is an awesome venture of yours and I'm thankful you're setting this up for the public!
Every wendsday I wake up thinking it's a normal day. Until Berm Peak uploads, then my day isn't normal. Keep u p the good content
That park looks like it's going to be alot of fun
The park of my dreams with berms, jumps, and nice flow!!
I live at the opposite side of America
i remember like 3 years ago when you said you wanted to build something like this, its great t finally see it in progress
SO STOKED SETH!!!!! im 50 min away from this!!! will be so stoked to come see it when it opens!
Idk why it’s so satisfying watching a sick trail take place awesome 👏🔥
Adding it to the bucket list! I will be visiting this park in the future for sure!
this is why i love diamond back, great bikes and great trails
The most awesome channel ever! Can’t wait to ride these trails. About a year ago you got me into mt biking and I’ve been riding weekly ever since, improving my skillS, and of course enjoying your videos and learning through them. Thank you Seth, keep up the good work!
Hey Seth, I've been watching your videos since you were in Florida. I just want to give congratulations to you on growing this channel this much. It's been awesome watching your channel grow and I cannot wait to see what happens next!
Inspirational work Seth. What an amazing legacy you will leave 👍🏻
As a former Resident Engineer on very large scale environmental remediation projects, I have a professional suggestion: On your finished trails with all of their final adjustments made, you should add a spray on fixative to lock the soil in place and provide much better resistance to trail wear and erosion. There are several commercially available products, each water based and approved by the EPA for use (but check with your state's ecology department). Here's a list of fixatives I've used in the past, in order of preference: Midwest Soil Sement, AgriGator Terra-Bond, Polo Dust Con, Duru Soil, and D&D Emulsions Dust Bond.
Awesome videos and giving back to the community, why this is one of my favorite channels
I'm really pumped that more and more cities and towns are seeing the economic value of building mountain bike trails.
Love this just 30mins away. Thank you so much!
I'm SUPER excited about this park, only 10 minutes from home! Seriously considering buying the property/building next to it and starting a bike shop/hangout spot for area riders!
making dreams a reality. wtg Seth. looking forward to checking that out this fall
Best of luck for the project, such an awesome way to give back to fans and enthusiast of the sport alike!
5:10 lol! Keep doing silly little things like this. It makes a huge difference. You know... A for effort. A+ :) So glad to see the park taking shape!
Solid start, cant wait! I am 100% coming to the opening!
I couldn’t be more happy once I get my new mountain bike and the park is done I will go
Those boys can build and ride!! Well done.
This is so cool! I only live about 30 minutes away from Canton, so I can't wait for this to open!
Looks like it will be tons of fun.... great work guys!
