Building a Huge Wooden Berm On My Backyard MTB Trail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- This week in the Backyard MTB Trail we are adding to the drop line with a snake like section featuring 2 dirt berms and a wooden berm.
This seriously is my new favorite section and I can’t wait to keep getting faster at riding it to see how far I can get off the berm!

Backyard Trail Builds where is the how to?
Good stuff! Looking forward to a how-to!
I love your channel that's what inspired me to ride
You posted a poll either berm or sicknic table. The berm was definitely a bad ass choice
That trail looks so much fun! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
Dude, it’s a blast! I’m really digging it... I’ve got loads of ideas for what comes next on it!
This video made me feel genuinely happy for you. I dont normally feel happy for other people. Good for you!
Hahaha thanks, Kandem! I appreciate your happiness on account of my happiness!
Hey man, you should cover it with some of that metal mesh, it keeps it from getting super slippery when wet. We do it too, works like a dream
Love how the dog is having as much fun as you have! :-)
Quality stuff 👍👍. Maybe some chicken wire to add some grip when it gets wet?
Big shout out to you! It rained so much lately that digging all that dirt must have been a pain! It looks awesome!
Alessandro Bergomi digging is easier and better when or right after it’s raining
Sick build dude. Also loving the tunes ... almost played them all to death. keep up the good work
Out of all the youtubers I watch you're hands down in my top 3 brotha! Love the content and dig your soundtracks lol. You motivate the shit out of me dude, keep up the awesome work.
This woodern berm looks fantastic! You gave me so many ideas for building trails, I just love all of your videos!
Thank you so much, Zürgel! I appreciate the feedback, my dude!
Love the dog trying to catch up
Sick berm, sick tune!
Dude you are amazing and definitely the best person to watch for any trail building videos. Keep doing what your doing
Heeeeey! Thanks, man! I appreciate that.
Great work sir. Keep up the great work.
He'll ya man that looks so fun to ride. Your videos get better every week!
Nice man! Soon you’ll be able to charge admission for people to come ride on your property! I’d pay to ride those features 🤘
Good for you!! Great builder
Absolutely awesome 😎
Sweet backyard!
Coolest build yet! Like always! AMAZING VID!
DUDE YOUR SONGS ARE SOOOO GOOOD
Thanks, Sebastian! I’m workin on getting them on Spotify
That looks like a blast. Great work
u are literally so underrated
When I was a child, I did a lot of sleeping...metaphoric music. Nice.
Super sweet man. That's so awesome you did that yourself. Local trail here wants to build one and it takes 20 people to do it and yours is just as good. Sick bro.
Thats crazy, Jeremy! Thanks! Ya, I bet there is a loooot of standards and shit they have to meet though too. I luckly just get to build!
@@BackyardTrailBuilds oh they do have a lot of standards they have to meet but it isn't much more then what you did and you did it all by yoself. Just saying mad props to you bro. I want to hit your trails man when I come up there later this summer if I can get a break.
That looks sick!
Such great music.
That is a sweet feature man!
Great work, HOLES FOR DAYS BRO!
Any holes a goal and these where good holes
Sweet build. Looks like you got some inspiration to make your section at the end🤙
Great job. How to inclination and width ?
That thing is sick!keep up the great work
Great video! The dog at 0:54 was the best ....
Hahahaha! Im glad someone else got a kick out of that like I did. He's a real weirdo.
Super sick, as always!
Your dogs seemed to approve the first berm. Good job.
Wall ride wall ride!!!!
That's in your backyard!? OMG am I jealous
Hey what was the slope/angle that gave you the height of the top of each support? (Or the height of each post along the upper radius)
Hey bro your very Inspiring you got me to hit the trails again love you videos
Hell yes man! Thats what I like to hear!
You should do a video of you riding the all the features
Hell yeah! That's awesome! How'd you figure out the radius? Or did you just sort of work with the space you were given between the trees?
Little bit of both. I’m gonna make a how to on it, but I pretty much tied a rope to a tree and used it as my radius or pivot point and just stemmed everything from that. Little bit of math, and a lot a bit of eye balling!
Do you weather treat your wooden features?
I normally buy weather treated lumber.
Damn great vid keep it up
Post notifications boii
Love that berm 😍
Sick video!! Think I need to buy some land now! Haha.
New Berm Creek?
Have you posted a build plan I could access?
Great music 👌
Nicely done, that sucker hardly moves when you're on it. Could be the camera angle, but are you landing uphill off the wood berm? Either way, looking at that landing at 2:54 your landing is too high. Would flow better if you dig it out so it gives you a proper exit. Looks like you've got the drainage for it. If you carve that bottom out and feed into a roller then you can pump the fk out of the landing and whip into the next berm.... yeeeeah boi!
Did you use a blueprint for this or from scratch? Trying to build something similar
That song is so catchy
Thanks! Its one of my own.
you just keep getting better how is this possible
Nice Vid 🔥
Fooowteen hooooooes lol cool build dude!
your music sounds great
Hey could you do like a vid about the entirety of your backyard trails so far
I'm digging your videos man! I also dig that red BTB/skull shirt! Where can I score one?
Awesome work as always g. Working on my own trail except its a little more illegal than yours aha
Amazing
Hey bro I’m trying to build a backyard trail any tips? 🤘
Build berms bigger then you think. Dont be afraid to build a little out of your comfort zone. Over build things. Really go over your landscape and explore all options before choosing a line. Once your line is built dont be afraid to completely change it. Dont think about the logistics too much, and just build the damn feature, if something feels like shit then change it.
Haha just kinda threw some stuff out. Hope that helps!
thanks keep uploading these awesome vids. BTB 🤘
Its super sick, but you should add a landing after you jump out of the wooden berm.
That is the plan for the next one! Had already done too much and couldn’t keep going haha.
Awesome
Which wood is that
What size boards were those?
All of them were 8 footers, 4x4s for posts, 2x4s for framing, 1x6s (decking boards) for platform.
Where are you from?
To good
you should build up that second berm up a bit more, because its so small it looks like you and her struggle to stay on it the entire time, this just limits how fast you can go into the wooden shark fin
Sick build but with more speed and the wood longer it would be more fun I say
More speed for sure! I think that’s gonna do the trick aaaand a good transition coming out of it with a couple rollers. That should help with keeping my momentum going.
Does anyone know where that cap is from please help
I do! Haha that is a Sendero hat! I freakin love them man.
@@BackyardTrailBuilds
Thank looks awesome love the color.
Great video btw
Try doing a drop in to a pump line and then a kicker ramp
Please show acknowledgement to the idea even if you don't like it. 😀
Hahaha Acknowledgment!! Sounds like a fun combination!
Says is gonna give it a try
Epic
this makes me think about seth's berm creek. since it's backyard stuff.
1"x4" slats. cheap way to build but these won't last long.
Berm Berm Berm
Cool
you gotta get your music on spotify!
Dan, I did the math on it and it just didnt add up to put the music on spotify. It would cost me over a hundred dollars to get one album on there and I would make maybe 10 of that back. Streaming services dont work well for small artists like me sadly.
@@BackyardTrailBuilds post them on audiomack it is alot cheaper the app itself is free and has over 10mil downloads.
Nice vid btw
@@Anonymous-je5nj heeeey, thanks for this! Never heard of that before. Is that new or somethin?
I might stick them on there if its free for sure.
It's been out for about 2 years
Where is the how to? You said you would do one
how old are you?
My life goal is to buy a big piece of land in the mountains and spend the rest of my life building trails
Go to harbor freight and buy one of those one man power augers for under 100 bucks
Hahaha I know. I dig enough to definitely make use of it. I kinda like doin it by hand though, it’s a good workout!
Tell me this isn’t Ben Cathros younger brother
He looks like Ben cathro
have you had any problems about this place
What kind of problems do you mean?
like someone had stepped into it and then said i thought it was a nice forest
Aaaah. Nope! Thats the great thing about living in the middle of nowhere with private property. If someone ever said that Id happily respond "then leave!" Haha.
ok thanks for replying
@@arnoldsvaldmanis8719 no problem!
Hi
The other Seth is 10000000000 times better
Its easy when ground is sand, but when u have clay... U cant do almost anyting....
Heard. Ya the berms were clay and the post holes were mostly sandy soil luckly. Clay is a freaking nightmare, dude... but it makes a damn good berm or feature once its shaped!
5th viewer lets go
I started with Woodglut plans.
Good video, nice building, but the bad choice in music ruined it for me.
