Building Your Own Bike Park | GMBN Rides Berm Park With Seth’s Bike Hacks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- After riding with @SethsBikeHacks (Seth Alvo, aka Seth's Bike Hacks/Berm Peak) at Bentonville earlier this year, we knew we had to go and check out Seth's bike park - Berm Park! While over in North Carolina, Rich and Anna took a trip over to Chestnut Mountain to see Seth's creation, and catch up with the man himself to learn more about how the bike park came to life.

It was really cool of you guys to think of me and Berm Park while out here! For the town of Canton, this is a really important draw to bring people to their downtown, as they just lost their paper mill. Whether you know it or not, putting eyes on Chestnut Mountain helps them. Rich and Anna, you rock!
I'm a roadie but I will always check Seth and GMBN's content. Great stuff.
Those subs gave me the munchies..
It's about time GMBN got out there
I shopped there... And wouldn't have if there was no berm park
I want to go so bad
Go Seth and GMBN! We love you guys!
Seth deserves all the recognition. He has done a lot to the bike community and his love and passion to this field.
Agreed
Seth is a legend
He is one of my heros!!! Love him.
@@KidFury27 I've been watching him since 2016 I absolutely love the dude
What a guy
A short legend. But a legend nonetheless.
@@danielvelasquez7708 I know. I've met Lance Armstrong... 🤐😉
Seth ain't that kinda guy.
I've been following Seth since he lived in Florida, even before he floated a fat bike in the ocean. Awesome to see his success.
same here. been around since the days of the Trek he gave to his sister.
Same. Didn't quite realize it's been this long
@@ColeT_43 me too!
Ayyy me too!
Those first videos are classics. Fun to see haw far he's come.
Two of my favourite channels in one video. Definitely would love to see more videos with Seth.
Anna is getting more confident on the jumps😊
Well done in sounding like a patronising idiot. I'm sure your biggest jump today was off your toilet after posting this comment.
Ya! But is it just me or are could her bars be a bit too wide?? I see so many with bar widths that are for someone that is larger and they just run it! Maybe a test video in there GMBN!
@@gehrBehr1Defenetly too wide. They look uncut.
At least Anna is building momentum, and actually doing really well 👏 👏
I don’t understand how she became a presenter… her riding is just not good enough.
Seth is a national treasure. I'm hoping that more of the small western NC towns follow in these footsteps. Cherokee has Fire-mountain now. all in all it has been a huge success
I rode at Kerr Scott Reservoir in Wilkesboro NC this morning. Great flowy trails.
This is a collaboration nobody was expecting, but really well appreciated!!
Thanks Seth and GMBN :)
These are my two favorite mtb channels. I’m sure i’m not the only one, so somehow people we’re hoping and looking forward to this 🤷♂️🙏👏
Hearing Anna's laugh while she rides reminds me that it's all about having fun! Feeling inspired to giggle my way down the trail tomorrow! Thanks all!
If you arent makin noises when you blast down a trail why are ya even out there :p
Fun to see Anna smiling and giddy throughout her ride.
It's nice to see Seth helping out these up and coming UA-cam channels
Dring your pills, GMBN is nothing shorter than a legendary MTB Channel with almost 2 milion subscribers and 550 000 000 hits on their content?!
@@MountainBiking_Bulgaria *whoosh*
Seth has more subscribers. The comment was a joke about Seth being more popular, and talking about GMBN as if they aren't also one of the largest MTB UA-cam Channels.
@@MountainBiking_Bulgaria found the absolute genius
I'm from North Texas but recently visted the east coast beginning with N Carolina. Didn't bring a bike with me (brought golf equipment)but really wanted to try Seth's Park. So, I picked up a throughly trashed near twenty years old Gary Fisher mtb from a nearby Pawn. Took it to a car wash then picked up a bicycle tool kit rom Wally World and just got the bike ridable(gears didnt function, brakes barely worked but the tires held air). And, I proceeded to ride Berm Park. I ended up packing the bike up and bringing it home on the airplane. It has mow been fukky restored and is hanging on the wall of my show room.
I always love content with Seth!
It was great to see Seth doing something a little bit different, but also kind of the same! The park looks amazing as well, great work by all involved.
love this episode Ana is really sending it! Time for Blake and Seth reunion ride, this time on Bem Parks' DBD
She’s casing everything.
More colabs like this would be awesome. Seth’s videos are great as well. Get him over here to one of our Bike Parks
As a smaller rider, seeing Anna and Seth ride so well is such a treat to the eyes. Btw, Seth's been on both sides of the interview this week, huh. 😁
Seth rides very well. Anna does not. She has no skills. She cased every jump and clearly has no control of her bike in the air. It’s a mystery to me how she got this job.
@@asifitmatters1 you don’t necessarily have to be good at jumping to be a good rider. Maybe her skills lie elsewhere
@@kieronwhitehouse33 what a pile of nonsense! Jumps and bike control in the air are essential parts of riding MTB! Even cross country riders wearing tight latex pants are jumping nowadays. So whatever skills she may have in other domains they are totally irrelevant to GMBN. The clue is in the name…
@@asifitmatters1wow, way to be negative. I ride technical blacks all the time, but am still trying to figure out how to jump. There is so much more to mtb than just jumping. Besides her job isn’t to be good at biking, it’s to be a presenter and to have good tech knowledge, which she is great at both.
@@FoundHarpy438 crawling down a black trail doesn’t mean you are able to ride them. I too can drive slowly around Monaco, don’t claim to be a racing driver though or car expert. If you can’t jump then you aren’t a well rounded modern mountain biker. It’s as simple as that. There are several aspects to riding, sure, but the ability to clear “normal” jumps, gaps and drops is an essential and integral part of it. And for all you geniuses arguing that this is ok let’s not forget that she gets paid to do this. She’s supposed to be a professional mountain bike journalist and whilst I by no means expect everyone to have the same riding ability as Sam Pilgrim or Blake Samson, a decent level on par with the others at GMBN is expected.
Quitting his IT job was the best thing that happened to the MTB world! Love you guys!
Anna and Rich look like they had a great time. Love Seth's channel too!
its 5 AM in the Eastern US time zone and I couldn't wait to watch this one. I was a Patreon supporter and hope to volunteer once I move closer to Canton❤❤❤
7:30 here is southern Australia
Definitely more content with Seth! I think more content with other MTB UA-camrs would be a win win for all. They get more exposure and so do you. We get content to watch!
Seth is a great guy with a strong sense of community spirit. I first came across him a few years ago when he was doing up a bike to give to somebody that others would recommend. It ended up with a kid about 12 or 13 who volunteered in a bike rescue shop, fixing up old bikes to give to needy kids. His own bike was one of the fixer-uppers. He was speechless when he got Seth's bike and when I saw it was when I clicked the Sub button on Seth's old channel.
Very nice. Can’t go wrong with gmbn & Seth. Loved it
Love it, thanks Seth for hosting GMBN. Great to see two of the best MTB channels together. Berm Park looks amazing, wish we had more of this approach in the UK
Awesome for u guys get together to make this video!
Outstanding "why did you decide to buy this place" with the piano hands at 2m09s Anna
Can’t love this enough! Thanks for visiting us in North Carolina!
Absolutely want to give this park a ride next time I’m in NC! Thank you for bringing this idea to life Seth, you’ve brought joy to a community 💛
Any vid with Seth is automatically going to be great. So cool, my favourite UA-cam channels coming together, we need more of these international vids.
good to see yall in my neck of the woods..luv berm park
You just combined 2 of my favorite channels! Thanks 👍
The true test of trails is the amount of giggles it gets and Anna said it all. Great collaboration with Seth.
Great collaboration! Here's an idea for a future episode: Game of Bike between Blake and Seth!
Places like berm park in canton and baker creek in Knoxville is what makes the southeast one of the best areas to be for Mtb in my opinion, you can ride year round without having a foot of snow for 2 months, the heat is not it though
Seth is great. Love collaborations like this, do more. And yes I would love to go to Berm Park.
Love seeing these types of trials. Just finished a session this morning at my local trail called Hydrocut in Waterloo Ontario. Rated as one of the best single tracks around. All funded and maintained by local companies and volunteers.
My two favorite mtb channels crossing tracks ... awesome !!!!
Seth is the best ! ;)
El mejor Crossover de la historia del MTB 🚲🚵😮
Berm Park is awesome. I love how it is free and helps people progress with their riding
GMBN+SETH YOU GUYS ROCK
Rad video! So cool to see two of the best MTB channels collaborate! Now Seth needs to visit GMBN!
Videos like this remind me of why i love this channel so much
It is so awesome to see the 2 channels together and GMBN in WNC? So good. Hope you guys come back.
Thanks for doing this video on Berm Park. Seth is a really good dude who really put effort into creating a place where people can do fun stuff together.
Absolutely do more videos with Seth. As a local here to Western Nc it’s nice to see the coverage of the awesome trails systems we are so lucky to have here.
What a fun video! My two favorite channels since 2016(ish) merging for this awesome collaboration. It’s amazing how bikes bring people together! Keep up the great content Seth, Rich and Anna!
Love the big smiles. I was smiling too. Do more of this stuff here with Seth for sure 👍😊
Bring Seth back home.. and make a tour with him over some local parks and trails! This will be a content for months! For both channels!
Seth would be a great addition to the GMBN family!
We are so lucky to have this on the backyard!! Thank you Seth!
Seth is the coolest guy ever.
Rode Chestnut Park and Berm peak a couple weeks ago, came down from Connecticut to do so, was a great ride and the back country that the town is building is a great addition to Berm Park. Loved the Bear Country and Wildcat trail! More Colabs!!
Loved it. Great video guys. I wish I was there riding with you.
I plan to make my first trip to Berm Park in the next couple of months. I can't wait! So great to see you guys on this side of the pond. Wish I could ride like you guys! Awesome job!
Yes!!! More videos with Seth!
Seth's Bike Hacks (and other iterations) FOREVER! ❤
Great video. What Seth did for the community was awesome. It was cool me and my son meeting you guys at the the sandwich shop too.
What a great cross over episode! 👍👍
Been there once last year and can’t wait to get back this year! I live a couple hours away and there’s a lot of places to ride but when I need to hone in on my jumping skills that’s the place I go
Seth rocks been follower for few years made one trip to berm park for not so daring mtb rider i enjoyed the park was worth the trip his you tube channel is inspiring and full of new items for biking and things not so great for mtb .
Would absolutely love more content with Seth!
Nothing but good vibes in this video
That Italian sub drop is legendary
this video was such pleasant surprise! two channels i have been watching for over a decade!
This is awesome.. Seth is my go to mtb channel, definitely my favorite one, you guys are awesome..
Some of my favorite trails I ride over 2 hours just to get there from Georgia. I like that you can jump or not jump on every trail. Thanks for visiting Seth he's a good dude.
So excited about this video after seeing Anna’s post on Instagram. 3 of my favorite people. Now Seth needs to go to the UK!
Berm Park and Chestnut Mountain are definitely on my "To Do"! I'm in Eastern NC (Onslow Co) riding parks like Brown's Creek in E-town, Bicycle Post in Greenville, and of course Big Branch BP in Onslow. Thanks to GMBN and Seth for your excellent channels!
What a wonderful bike park! Been following Seth for many years and GMBN … enjoyed Seth and Blake at Whistler too (Seth can shred!). Anyway, so nice to see a family friendly bike park! Not too rowdy and a great place for families to ride! Great job! You’ve come a long way from creatively hanging bikes in a closet in Florida Seth!
GMBN should make a dedicated travel channel. How fast would the team members put there hands up for that position 😂.
Would watch that for day's..
Yes! We love Seth and we love GMBN so yes! Weed love more videos.
Love this collab. Great video Seth and gmbn
Really great to get some of the back story behind Bern Park. I'm currently working with the county commissioners are the board to develope trails on the ski hill where I live in Lakeview,OR. Wish me luck!
I am planning on a holiday trip to Berm Park in December 2023.
9 hour drive to get there, then work my way home, hitting different parks.
Great video,love both the channels 👍
Great episode . Thanks
Awesome video, always great seeing you in the states, especially berm park.
💯😎This is AWESOME! 😎💯
Two of my favorite mtb channels have merged, more of that please.
Oh yes you should do lots more with Seth, I’d love to see you guys help him review stuff and give him stuff to review, like try out some classic hacks and bodges!
And or some flip bike action, like a flip off?
Heck yeah! So awesome
Great pairing! Seth and GMBN!
Love this and Seths channels, i cant wait to make the trip out and check out Berm Park, i want to see the air bnb and try those trails too
What a great video!! Berm Park is definitely on my bucket list.
I love that MTB UA-cam’ers collaborate.
Loving the USA trips and coverage.
That was awesome up!!!!
Seth is the people's champion MTB... In Seth we trust!
GMBN and Berm Peak are my favorite channels to watch. Me my son just got done riding at berm park yesterday and also had to stop an get a few subs the Italian is wicked awesome!
different and great content. i follow both channels and really enjoyed it! thanks
Yes! More videos with Seth please. Hope he makes a GMBN episode on his channel too.
2 great channels that work great together.
I love GMBN, I love Seth - so what can I say? It was AWESOME❤
Was there on Labor Day this week. Mostly rode the upper part of the park. Ladybird and Wildcat. So fun.
Good to see two of my favourite channels collab.
daym guys, nice bikes! Seth, come to Sydney - there's some hills that need a bike park, say in Loftus.... cheers mate!
Really cool to see you guys visit Berm Park! I'd love to be able to go there one day. Or better yet, would love to see something like this in the Calgary, Alberta area.
Bring Seth to England.
Gmbn and Berm Peak..awesome combo
