- Having lots of fun building a big MTB bike jump with a tractor.
In this episode of my backyard mountain bike trail building series, I have a lot of fun using dad's tractor to build myself a huge tabletop mountain bike jump. The jump ended up being 5m / 16.5 feet long. It is perfect for progression because you can go as small or as big as you like without any consequences.
The jump is located at the end of the Snake Run mountain bike trail which I have been building in my backyard. This would have taken a long time to dig by hand so it was great to be able to build a mountain bike jump with a tractor. It was my first time using the tractor and I think the jump turned out pretty awesome.
I can't wait to session this awesome mountain bike jump with friends and really work on my jumping technique.

I had a bit of fun with this edit, but will be back up in the bush for next episode.
Cracking quality editing and humour and real life mtb, love it!
Thanks mate. Thought this was a bit of an easy build so wanted to get a little more creative with the edit.
That looks like such good fun. Loved the massive case on your clone 😂
Hahah RIP clone. He never stood a chance.
You have inspired me! Thx for such fun watching
Your welcome!
Haha great video! Loved the comedy too
Haha thanks mate. Was a bit nervous about the comedy lol. Thought it would add a bit more life to this video.
I feel like you have had comedy before but it went way up with this video! Keep it coming!
I really love the things you build
I want to build something like this to
Haha sick editing and an even better jump.
Cheers mate. I had a great time putting this one together and the jump is perfect for me to learn on.
Wow mate nice one keep up the great videos
Cheers Sam! Had a bit of fun with this one.
Hey Sam, I think you may want to check out the latest episode.
Congrats on winning a shirt! Can you please DM me on instagram with your email address?
Love the table
Tractors and mountain bikes. You are speaking my language
Pretty much my first time driving a tractor so it was a good project to learn on. Still need to go back and clean up the drainage ditch.
Top notch production quality
Cheers mate!
Sick dude love the builds
Dammmm that was quick! Thanks for checking it out mate!
I immediately fell in love with this series! My pfp may not suggest I'm a mtb racer but trust me, it's 1/2 my personality.
Hell yeah that's so cool! I've never entered a race, I think I would do pretty shit 🤣
@@cutlaps Well I'd be shit at building a jump so there's that.
Jump looks sick.
Cheers Dylan. Pretty stoked with it!
Another nice video bro. Your filming and editing skills are amazing too!
Thank you. I've been filming and editing for a very long time now. A little bit for work but mostly for fun
Nice jump! That lip setup hard, not a single tire rut on a fresh lip! Great idea packing it with the tractor tires. You nailed the shape with the tractor that’s a perfect “outie” shape for learning to get comfortable in the air, you easily tripled or quadrupled any of your other jump lengths.
Keep the humor coming. That edit of you jumping yourself with the GTA font and sound effects was strait up money!!! Did the camera fall @1:23 🤣 The ultra fast tractor like a ghost was awesome, but you didn’t stop there you slowly zoomed the shot, nice edit! And the rising shot from behind the dirt pile. 👌🏼
Way to turn regular todo’s, like digging a ditch, into MTB stuff. I have scattered jumps all over our ranch some are so far away I never use them 🤣 Also we have a New Holland tractor too. A big money booter is the best way to end a trail!
🙌🙌🙌 thanks mate!
Yeah I went back a couple of times and really slapped it in. Had a bit of rain while building as well which got it nice and hard.
Haha yeah GoPro rattled loose on the hood of the tractor. I thought it was a gonna for sure but it survived.
I had a good time in the tractor. Slowly getting the hang of it.
Bummer some of your jumps don't get ridden as much. That's the good thing about this one. It's out in the open and close by so will be perfect to session with friends.
Sick jump. T shirts r cool too. Next you need to do stickers
Awesome
The epic music with the tractor shots and lapse was spot on 👌
Loved Aggie inspecting the dirt at the start too.
Also, classic line re your old man's drain 😅
Cracking shape you got on the kicker with the little step down to the table top, looks fresh.
As always, nice POV shots on the tools, tractor and bike. Love it 👌
Stoked with your progression in jump size throughout your first day riding the tabletop, you'll be clearing it every time now I'm sure!
Edit: the GTA style "wasted" after landing on your clone was sick man 🤣
I think I need to revisit this jump. I have some new ideas to make it better. I'm thinking of pushing all of the dirt into one landing and then building a couple of wood kickers of different shapes. That way the jump can be small or pull the kicker back slowly to get bigger. I think it will be better for progression. And maybe some mulch on top.
It could be a little skills park at the bottom of the trail.
@@cutlaps sounds unreal!! It's in a nice open spot so plenty of space to work with for that idea!
The wooden kickers Matt Jones makes don't look too hard to build and seem to work amazingly!
Yeah I would probably build them along the same lines as his. Just a lot smaller ahaha.
Excellent video work nice jump for all skill levels
Thanks mate! Yup it's a great jump, and potential for a few additions. I thought you had a snake encounter video on the way?
@@cutlaps yes it’s nearly ready to release I haven’t had much time for editing lately
@@walkaboutturtle9102 Cool can't wait to see it.
looks cool dude
Thanks mate. I have some new plans for this jump. Its grassed over at the moment but I think I want to build a wooden take off that can be moved to make the gap smaller or bigger. What do you think?
So sick
Thanks Sam! Lots of fun on this one.
Really good video and that jump looks sick!
Cheers Charlie!
Sick riding Mate. That jump makes your other jumps look tiny🤣🤣
Haha thanks mate. Yup this one was wayyyyy bigger.
You have the makings of a great UA-camr, keep them vids coming bro.
Cheers bud! Added a little more personality to this one.
This ☝🏼 here’s to more followers so you can make great edits like this full time!
Cool jump, but don't forget to fix that ditch for your dad.
For sure, that's on the list for the weekend. That was pretty much my first time in a tractor so need to head back and smooth it out.
Love that landing! Most of our jumps around here have such short, steep landings that don't leave much room for error but yours looks great for progression!
Yeah exactly. I wanted this jump to be low consequences. It's nice to not have to worry about trees either. The landing is so long you would have to be absolutely cooking to go too big on this.
@@cutlaps yeah I like that and wish we had more of it around my area!
😂 loved this edit
Haha added a bit more personality to this one. 😬🤣
I would prefer a steeper landing but other that that, it is a awesome jump!! please keep up the good work:)
Cheers bud. A bit steeper would be better for sure, but it would have shortened the landing a bit too much. I want it nice and long so that there is no fear of going too big (not that I am having that problem haha).
The angle of the down is almost the same as the angle of the takeoff. So when it is hit with the correct speed it should be pretty smooth. Right now I am casing the flat 😂😂 so it's heavier. Once I start hitting the sweet spot I can see if it needs adjusting.
Do you like a steep takeoff as well?
Just found your channel mate! Well put together :)
Thanks mate! Iv'e been to busy to build and film for the last month. Hopefully back out there again soon. Iv'e been subscribed to you for a while now. You have some great videos. Will have to get you down to ride the trail when I have a few more features.
@@cutlaps Thanks mate! Will absolutely have to give it a go when it's done!!
Once your running up to it on dirt instead of grass you will clear it would be nice if you put a start ramp and a roller on the way in.
Yeah a nice dirt run in would be good for sure. Was even thinking of a step down or drop at the top of the run in. There's plenty of room for more features in that area.
@@cutlaps a drop sounds good looking forward to the video
Hey man just a little jumping rip for you, it looks like you are popping too early and not taking advantage of the whole lip, so make sure you stay patient and use the whole transition 🤟🤟
Cheers mate. That has always been my exact problem with jumps and one of the main reasons I built this tabletop. It's really handy to be able to film in slow motion and go back to analyse what needs improving. You should see some of the older footage of me 😂😂its horrible!
You can see the last jump the timing was much better resulting in more air but like you said it's still a little early and I am not getting the most out of the lip. Just gotta keep at it.
Might have to figure out a time to come cut laps down it with ya
Yeah mate. We should organise a time now lockdown over.
Nice one Luke .... I'll DM u about something
Sounds good
16 feet! My record is around 6
I love you!
Can you jump without full suspension?
Yeah, jumps are actually easier on a hard tail bike. But you need to make sure there is a proper down ramp to absorb the landing.
Full suspension bikes absorb the take off which can buck the rider. This doesn't happen on a hard tail bike and it allows you to pump it better for more air.
Dad won't be 2 happy but this is a MTB channel so "fart noise" 😅
Hahah
I'm only commenting so I can win a sweet shirt.
To make it easier to pick my name out of the hat, write it on the back of some sand paper.
Hahaha, not a bad idea. Stay tuned to the next episode for the winners.
