- Today, we revisit "Snake Pit" trail, and make an alternate "intermediate" line. The main difference is, our intermediate line does not contain a gap jump. Brian and Alexander join me in this one! Check out their channels below

8:39 that was the smoothest transition I've ever seen
CH33KC14PP3R69 slick, right?
Seth's Bike Hacks I came down here to see if anyone noticed
I didn't even notice!
@@SethsBikeHacks Neat
8:39 no one going to appreciate that transition?
Reid Brozek oh dang that’s sick
Wow didn't even see that the first time...so sick
Oh damn didnt even notice that, that's so sicl
Reid Brozek bruhv
Really shows off how much better his editing is.
Oh yeah, also answering the “why do we use planks question”
When the planks get old after being ridden on, you can just replace them and keep the tree in good condition!
And they look cool!
And have a bunch of holes in the tree
Agreed. Not to mention how slippery the bare barkless log could be after a rain.
Its not like desd trees with many holes wouldnt rot
@@tubeetogoo English please
I love how happy Seth looked when he cranked up his "real" chainsaw.
dylandetails Yeah! Check out the grin at 5:12!! 😁
I love how talks about the course like we are going to get to ride it
@KSMI - Kerbal Saved My Insanity my hopes exactly, that would be sick.
@KSMI - Kerbal Saved My Insanity yes! 👍
Agree, wonder when bp will be open for business lol.
i hope so!!!
If only
you can see the happiness on Seth's face when he got the chainsaw started
he was like a 5 yearold boy on Christmas morning
Seth also went from his nice music to some metal because chainsaw
Sotoboxios i was also like kid on Christmas when he finally got a Gas chainsaw
Doom
There is no grown man who does not feel utter glee when wielding a chainsaw
Yeah
Seth, this channel makes me so happy at the end of the week. In all of these crazy times these videos help me decompress. You got me into mtb. Thank you for this. I love mtb and I have a giant talon 2. Since all of my local bike parks are closed I have been trying to build some of my own features in my back and front yard. You are for sure my favorite you tuber. I also love the second channel. I might buy some Berm peak merch. Thanks!! Keep up the good work. And stay safe.👍👍
same
Dude I feel that
Facts
im thirteen and made a small track in my yard using my dads scrap, hammers and nails, and inspiration from these videos i feel u
Eli Fisher WE GOT THE SAME BIKE unless you have the 27.5 version
That heavy metal music when the gas chain saw came out, had me 😂
Chris Taco me too lol
When you moved away from Florida I missed the city riding content a lot. But ever since you bought Berm Peak these are the best videos you’ve ever made.
The production quality and consistency has gone way up! and it was already great before!
8:40 dang that transition thoooo
Seth (or whoever does the editing) has a cinematic eye
That is why he has so many subscribers, it's very professionally made. I bet over half (if not more) of his subscribers don't even ride a bike.. (other than for transportation maybe)
@@LuisSierra42 Seth edits videos for the main channel, Kurtis does it for Berm Peak Express
in my recommended for some reason, but i noticed that as well.
I didn't notice that
You should have a huge jam with everybody when the trails are complete
Otis Mooney Like a project car, the trail will never be complete. There will always be thins to change or add
Ciao Emanuele
Yes he should do that 👍
He moved because people were coming to his house, i doubt he will but you never know
@@LegitAverageZombie1 he moved for the opportunity to build a trail system. His old home was not large enough for his channel and it's size. He even offered for someone to stay at his new home during quarentine. When he sold his old home he offered for everyone to come and meet. So you are just uneducated on the subject
5:10 that face says: I always wanted to do that
“Just because it’s safe it doesn’t mean it can’t be fun”
That’s a reasonable statement but definitely one I thought Seth the sketch *king* would be saying
You mean Phil the sketch king
Moving those trees around with that drill winch looks like the biggest pain.
Makes for good laughs though watching the process.
Could have gotten a hand winch for cheaper, that pulls more
@@dubious6718 Yeah a good ole comealong is what ive used for years ive used a drill winch 1 time and busted it pulling 100lb and my comealongs can do 4000 ive moved a 18x16 by 30 foot Douglas fur beam off a flatbed into my shop without a issue.
@@DrCanadianGamer Exactly what I was going to suggest. A Comealong would be waaayyy faster
+1 for a comealong, might want to wear a full-face and some goggles though, in case it let's go...seen it happen
Seth, I've been watching your videos for about a year now, and for whatever reason this one particularly spoke to me. I love biking but am definitely not at your talent level and the snake tongue both looks amazing and is a feature I would have a lot of fun on. Love the new edition.
Would love to see an entirely new trail get started on!
5:06 I see what you did there 😂
it took me a minute to see what u ment hahaahah
Continue the trail that ends at the road gap
yes! And dig out a landing for the road gap so you don’t land in the flat!
i’ve been waiting for
that
@@Jokl92 but then he would have to dig up his road. Good idea but not everyone clears the road gap
Jorge Astbury dont think he'd want to did a hole in his carpark.
snikwahjets in the drive way gap vid he said “we can even make a trail right afterwards”
dude... the backyard is look'n so SIOCK! i'm think'n that some sortta tetter-totter from hell would be a nice edition back there 🤘
Biking With Bobo I agree! Or a cool rock/log roll would be shweet
Biking With Bobo ya that would be awesome! Maybe have it link into another feature on the down side.
Heck yeah Bono, something else for you to crash on!!
Dude yesss
You should do a rock roll into the tetter-totter
Im watching all the trail building vids in the hospital from a biking accident, They keep me thinking about my trails at home and keeping me busy apart from sleeping all day, i love these videos man keep it up
Hey Seth, if you are reading this thank you so much. Durring this time of staying home with your family. I have been so bored. I am just a kid and I dont like sitting on my phone all day. I have been subscribed to you for 3 years. I watched your diy stuff and I loved them. I tried to make a skinny like you. I did not have access to get a chainsaw so I used some wood from my old picnic table and some logs. I started to put them together and rode. I am almost at 40 feet. My dad was right beside me when I tried. Thank you so much and I love your content.
Would love to see some competetive times on these tracks. Get some timing games and see who can complete all the trails the fastest
With climbing back up to the top too!
would be awesome
Maybe Strava segments?
Your house and trails really is ideal for isolation
Seth, I found your channel well researching robot vacs in June and never left. 3 weeks ago I upgraded my bike and joined my local MTB club. I can't get enough, it's like I'm a kid again. Keep on sending it!
Damn that transition at 8:40 was sooo smooth
I don't ever use wipes, now i'll look for the opportunity
just that thumbnail looks sick, nice one seth.
Jakeh_
Hi
@Jakeh_ and everyone else of course it looks sick if it wasn't NO ONE will watch this because better thumbnails and title the more clickbaits they get. I mean even you guys watched this vid because you all got CLICKBAITED!! If not because of the thumbnail and title you guys wouldn't have watched this. SAME FOR EVERYONE!!
Adrian Sahagun I was just saying the feature looked good calm down
@@jakoby7203 jk the video was still good and entertaining i just had a bad day yesterday sorry.
@@acsaha8304 That's fine
Me: stuck at home
Seth: stuck at home
But with berm peak
*cries in snowy Norwegian mountains*
He prepared for this perfectly
This is not fair
He has a friggin bikepark😂😭
Me with the closest trail system 30 min away: Why can I live in Berm Peak
love how you are using alot of natural lumber and trees in the build, looks great, keep it up
I have been watching your progress since the original drop at berm creek, and I freaking love it! Keep up the good work, berm peak is amazing!!
The ever evolving berm peak is probably the best youtube series... hands down
I don’t even mountain bike and this is one of my favorite channels, I absolutely love watching you guys create this backyard park! Thanks for the entertainment during these wild times.
Seth's videos are so well produced and entertaining!
Maybe you should start mountain biking
It’s cool watching people progress and push themselves in anything 🤙🏻
Same here
Keep killing it because you guys are doing awesome stuff. Giving the rest of us great ideas for our own backyard or property track trails Skinnys and obstacles thanks again
this is awesome, i love watching you build trails and use the material from the woods.
You should premiere these since everyone is basically waiting the whole day for it anyway 🤘
You should make a pump trail that has some “spice” to it
Cody Barker Villars I want to like but the would ruin the numbers you got there
@@DeckyMass lol he has the funny sex number
We can make it spicy
Super nice feature it allows you to have fun without taking risks of getting hurt.
I hope that we are gonna see a bunch of ones like it.
As a fellow North Carolinaian, all I can say is that you're doing our state proud. I hope to one day bike with your guys. but I need to get back into biking again... once i get a job and money.
Viewers : *wanting seth to use better tools*
Seth: *notices everyone is at home and watching stuff*
*brings out the big guns*
It’s that time of the week again, we’re we all gather at the holy shrine that is seth’s new vid. ENJOY
Love when friends come together to work on building something great no matter how hard the work be Berm peak is the pinnacle can't wait to see what comes of this down the road. Cheers man
That transition at 8:40 was so subtle, but so smooth!
"Enjoyed" is such an understatement. Im loving this stuff!
"Hi im the snake pit skinny. Who are you?"
"Hi im a busted front tire"
*Best friends*
Cole Hirschy relatable
Really enjoyed seeing the three of you working together to build these blue lines!
DUDE! This is like seriously the coolest thing ever seeing you start Berm Peak from literally nothing and carve it into this trail system. So dope. Love it!!!
"I got a real chainsaw!" *Uses electric chainsaw to cut foot wide tree in half*
Something I would like to see is some type of seesaw, that with enough speed could be jumped
Like a teeter totter?
SooperDooperCooper u k you’ve just got to add those sketch levels otherwise would it really be a Seth bike park
Yeah that sounds great, and fairly easy to make! Like a somewhat heavy log between two posts with a rebar going through all three. If the log is heavy enough it would take some maneuvering to tip over, but could probably be jumped if going fast.
@@sebastiendoucet2058 yes
So good. Any new features are awesome and its great inspiration for the future
Flat awesome and creative. Your hard work was rewarded.
Mom: Do your online school
Me: No it’s Friday Seth comes first
Sorry to break itto you but i think.......
Its saturday
Yes
Same
Facts
That’s true
"This thing is friggin awesome!" says every guy who tries a big chainsaw for the first time...
Glen Minty if you follow him on Instagram he bought this chain saw a few weeks back
So true... or any power tool
Next up...the Husqvarna 395XP which will cut through oak like a hot knife through butter. Just gotta cough up $1300 for it.
A lot of satisfaction came from a lot of hard work.
Your video brought back a lot of good memories of making bike trails.👍
You’ve come a long way Seth, I have watched you grow and inspire others for a few years now. Love from Berta’
The top of wood pecker needs jumps or berms or a wooden Kevin jump
I wanna see a split off after the flight going the same direction as upper rhodrooter, to then cut off before the Kevin jump to then a huge BMX section to the connect back on to BP-2
Wow you guys work hard. It’s so therapeutic watching building sped up and set to music. I only wish I could do that in real life!
found this interesting..i use to ride so much when i was younger, and thru the wood trails were the best..but this construction is really quite creative and looks to be fun to build and design, especially with the right tools....keep it up!.looks like a blast!..... kudos!
Me: I have online school to do I should do that Also Me: Seth just uploaded that’s way More important
I just thought the same thing
*it is way more important*
I was doing online school but got bored and saw the new video so I peft
Same
Yep
Hey Seth, my wife says you should name the new skinny off snake pit, “Pick Your Poison” because it looks like you can get bit, either way! 😳
ahahaha that’s good
Great name
That's an amazing name
Nice
*EPIC* Name
New additions are pretty sweet!!! Can't wait to see what you have planned for the next additions!!!
Teeter Totter - thanks for keeping biking a thing during hard times. You guys rock!
Ah, nothing can break stihl. The best I’ve ever had, and my grandfathers stihl is still running like a beast. Glad to see that you finally caved in.
“Tone down the risk factor...”
Still has to go down the flight deck
This is down the shallower walk-up ramp on the back side of the deck, not the steep side.
@@molybdnum They did tone town that insane drop, curved out the bottom to carry more speed instead of cramming the wheel into a bad angle.
Lol
Favorite channel out right now and i dont even bike just love watching you build stuff and your an awesome narrator. Videos are well done. Great channel my man!!
And watching it all come together is jus super rad!
I am not a cyclist or a trail builder but I am a repairman. I don’t know how I found ur channel But I did enjoy every video and thats why I keep coming back. u do good work and produce great content. Not that my opinion matters but I hope u keep it coming
Make a step up jump that has a landing on higher ground
@Anton Hofstadler that's what he said
Lol I know it’s a step up I added some stuff to it tho on accident XD
Ahaha that's why it's called a step up. Because the landing is on higher ground 😂
Holy cow didn’t think I’d get 59 likes XD I’ve only ever gotten 3
@@mrnorquale8991 That's what he said.
My favourite part of any Saturday morning. It's 5AM here in Queensland, I have a hot cup of coffee in my hand and Seth on my screen, awesome :) Also kinda glad to see you wearing proper chaps with that big boy chainsaw Seth, you do your best work with four functioning limbs still attached! Really loving this new direction too, my two favourite things are woodworking and riding so you've hit the sweet spot of youtube awesomeness for me.
Loving the content! The trail obstacle builds are always good.
That's actually a dope feature! Makes the trail accessible for more riders and goes with the snake theme of the feature. Good job!
I'd like to see the whole project, after several seasons of maturity, and how well it becomes part of the natural landscape. That will be a great day
Thanks to Seth's videos, I now have 7 trails in my backyard!
A green flow trail named Mainline
A blue flow trail named Route 66
A blue tech trail named X squared
A red jump/flow trail named Hipster Doofus
A black north shore style trail named East Shore (I'm in PA)
A black jump trail named Dynamite
A double black tech trail named Lit Fuse
Thanks Seth for being my inspiration for my trails!
PA gang
😎
us over 50 guys much appreciate the alt lines, "not every day is a sender day" when your Flippin and dippin 5-0's like its 30, there is some risk assessment one must consider
So cool! This zipline drill thing is inversible!!
Must be so much fun to ride ! 🚲🚲🚲🔥🔥
I wish these didnt have to end :(
I've been watching a lot more of seths videos
"We can make it spicy" -Seth
Sam Anderson I was reading this as soon as he said it
He made it spicy
Seth your backyard is a place greater than anything out of my dreams. I would die to have your backyard trails.
Been building skinny's in my own backyard. Loved this video!!
You need to look into compound pulleys for moving those logs about, regardless of winching method
or a snatch block
Or use a come along. Just so senseless using power tools when the power tool he's using isn't made for that whatsoever.
I really want to see one of those skinnies where the back tire goes on a different path than the front tire. Also, thank you so much for making this content while we are stuck in our houses begging to get outside.
Seth struggling to pull downed trees with the winch is the kind quality content I’m looking for.
Love you Seth your video make my day even stressful days
You should add some berms to woodpecker so it's a little more flowy. I think it has potential as a really fast flowy trail, aside from the maim frame of course.
Jeff Dunham's video on Corona virus
Seth Guthmiller shut up peanut
“This is literally an inch by inch process” more like a winch by winch
thats what she said...
The Northern Rider 😂 but no
Dude, you are one tenacious builder, I bet so many people say I want to do what Seth does but 98 percent would stop there. It looks like you are doing quite well fulfilling your ideas and living your dream. Your channel is both fun to watch and a great place to learn about trail building, using your environment and getting ideas. I'm sure "keep it up" is obvious but keep it up, I'm waiting for the next episode on: ta ta ta... Berm peak, the place you want to spend your time during lock down, and probably during normal time as well. 🤘
A friendly advise, mark the spots where you put metal rods with spray paint, that way, when years pass, you would know where those are and avoid saw to rode action.
Maybe you should bring some of the city riding we had in Florida to the lush environment of berm peak. I'm not saying bring concrete into berm peak; But a wooden, north shore Esque staircase or curb or something that gives us the city riding you had in Florida. Some of your best tutorials were filmed there and were only possible because of the city environment. I learned a lot from your city riding. Either way, Berm Peak is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I can only see it getting better. I can't wait for your next video. You're the only reason why I'm currently mountain biking. Thank you for the inspiration, entertainment, and information you have given me.

At some point would love to see a wall-ride
YESSS!,!!
The trail looks badass! Great job man!
I love these videos and wish that you posted more often so I don’t have to wait the full week. Keep up the good work
love u seth, you've inspired me to try and build my own backyard trail with literally no equipment
Make the most of what you have!
@@dylanbikesthings3633 yeh
I’d love to see a proper drop on this new trail. My favorite obstacle at your last house was the drop
Bring back the drama drop!
@@dylanbikesthings3633 Oscar Drop this time?
He can call It Oscar drop
DRAMA DROPPPP
This is such a good series. Keep up the good work Seth!
Love all your trail building video Seth❣️
It would be cool to see some dirt jumps on berm peak. 3 - 5 feet high ramps
Every time I see Kevin I can’t help but laugh as I already no what’s gonna happen
I really enjoy these. The additions are awesome! And that fire pit....
Might I suggest a Skinny-o-meter. I made one of these in the past to help keep my skills sharp when I wasnt ridings skinnies on trails as much. Basically its a "train" of dimensional lumber starting as say about 6-8" wide that deceases in width about every 8 feet or so. The last one I made ended in a stretch of a 2x4 on edge so only 1.5" wide. I had the whole thing suspended about 8" in the air (on log rounds) to create a safe "out" if needed but also way more than wide enough to require commitment and that in ability to ride off and then back on. The cool thing about this is that anyone with a yard and build it and hone their skills in a way that will really help them on the trail.
I've been loving these berm peak videos. keep it up!
At the end of each video you should post a pov clip of you riding through the full trail, maybe say some of your likes / dislikes of the new edition
That's actually a really good idea
@@Jay-jn3sl Thanks! Was thinking this for a while just never got around to commenting it, just hope seth see's this.
@@decrypter6 Well hopefully he does
to me you guys are living the dream. all that land to shape and mess with. man Im jealous. love these posts!
Build a drop zone with one run up, and three or four varying height drops. You could add it to the side of the Flight Deck. And also, the original Snake Pit line could split again to the left just before the jump into a teeter totter over the log.
