Trail Sculpture - building dirt jumps by hand - timelapse. Strangely satisfying

  • Chill out for 10 mins and let us do the work.
    I use timelapse filming mainly to prove to myself that at the end of the day I have actually done some work! Most of these shots cover several hours of digging condensed into just a matter of seconds- but when you're in the woods digging, especially if you're alone, progress can seem painfully slow sometimes! Making a big landing takes so much effort, the volume of dirt alone can mean hundreds, maybe thousands of wheelbarrows to fill, move and empty.
    I find that filming a timelapse stops me from getting lazy - if I stop digging to call or message someone it looks very obvious in the shot. You have to keep busy and keep moving. It's a good way of making sure you don't stop until the job is done. I generally set myself a target of something to achieve and then don't go home until it's done- even if it means getting lights out of my car and digging into the night.
    This video is a mash-up of some of the timelapses I have shot over the last few years either of me alone (cheeky week day visits) or with the crew all digging together on Sunday. Even tho we're hopefully nearing the point when we can all return to our local trail spots- it's been weeks since I have ridden or done any digging. I plan to ease myself back into things and spend more time on a shovel than a bike for a while.
    Really hope you enjoy the video... Next week's video is a little different from the norm so look out for that one!
    Take it easy - oh yeah and subscribe ;-)

      It’s about 80% sand- it varies. One corner is pure sand and the other is quite good- we move stuff around but yeah, it’s sandier than we’d like but we just make the most of what we have 👍🏼

    I see a lot of channels with comments saying something along the lines of “you deserve more subs,” but this is one of the first that I’ve ever agreed with completely. The shots are so professional and the production quality is so great that it is truly mind-blowing that you haven’t blown up yet. +1 subscriber from me

    Dude I can totally understand what you mean. When you're working on trails solo, progress seems slow going. You're doing kick ass work though my friend!
    The soil you're using looks like sand to me. I'm from the Northeast US, and the soil around here is almost black. You can't stick a shovel into the ground around here and NOT hit 20 huge rocks. Progress is extremely slow over here.
    Dude, that little set of stairs you guys built is sick. I love those little details at trails.
    Keep digging my friend!
