Thanks for checking out the video guys! If you’re interested i posted a pure pov lap to my raw channel this morning: ua-cam.com/video/GYRwJf_hwhE/v-deo.html
the only reason he crashed his because he just let the bike roll over the jump instead of making the bike jump just before he hit the top of the jump like you did so it's not a problem with the feature it's a problem with the one on the bike
Very true, just wanna encourage people to try some of the features without rolling past 🙂 kinda like how some bike parks build your confidence and you end up hitting new stuff because of it
@@BCpov yea I agree it's a great idea but just in general if your not at a bike park or something it's best to do trails that you know or are your skill level, still a great videos loved watching it 👍
@@willemteale5020 I agree, if you want to build more approachable feature I'd say build a seperate black or blue trail, as to not numb down the "double" black
Lawyers don't see it that way. If someone cuts locks to break into an electrical power station, ignores dozens of "danger high voltage" signs, and manages to electrically injure themselves, the owner of the station is considered to have committed a crime, because the justice system is way too obsessed with safety at the expense of all else.
I’m a decent rider (comfortable riding pro lines/double blacks) who already knew the general layout by watching these videos and I was struggling to figure out the flow of that section earlier this season. I think it’s due to a mix of lack of sight lines and tighter spacing between features. I’ve had the same issue a bunch of things I’ve built in the past, and I found cutting down tall brush in corners and moving lips at least 15 to 20 feet past the end of berms really goes a long way.
Not that I know anything, but if you wanted it safe(r), you'd put a flat(ter) landing, which would allow different speeds/distances, and wouldn't spring up the jump on the rider. The bump lands you face first, if you're expecting to clear it but fall short or are balanced wrong. On uphill jumps the rider needs to understand they're landing uphill or have the track automatically position the rear wheel lower. Now you're making it a surprise at the bottom of a dell, so anyone with a wrong balance may land it wrong simply because they can't rotate or accelerate the bike fast enough. I think that's what makes the example you showed safe. It adjusts the bike position automatically and shows what to expect. It looked like it is a larger feature built on an existing uphill, so you're going uphill for longer before the jump and you can see the landing from far away and the safe/appropriate landing attitude/balance is the same for all landings. The bike has rotated to uphill position and the rider is balanced correctly for it, so even landing short you're hitting it balanced, either on back wheel, both wheels or just slightly nose first (without too much forward inertia). Furthermore, the landing zone is basically the top of the hill, which I assume is fairly flat, which for most speeds makes it about how high/far you're clearing the crest there, not whether you're going to make it. Even if you don't make the crest, again, it's an easy-to-see/understand uphill with a gently flattening slope, so no faceplants. From what I can tell, it's all about giving the rider advance warning and controlling the speeds, flight path, bike attitude, biker balance, etc., so that one either always clears the crest at the landing or is safe not clearing it. On the flipside, you also have to control the landing for fast speeds, which is probably why they make uphill jumps. I assume it gives better control for speeds and rotation and more total angle to play with for different speeds/distances, because you can also slope the far side of the landing hill to control the air time and landing angles for different trajectories.
I really like the jumps and drops but for me I need to work up to a feature. So your trail is good ….. but I am time constrained and for now i will skip.
It seems like trail building videos should be quite boring, but you make them very fascinating and enjoyable. Amazing work on both the trail and the video!
The problem with them hitting the jump is they were riding it like any other jump assuming that they would clear it, it was so safe for you because you were hitting the jump knowing that you were going to case it. This causes you to completely change your form
There was a stump down at a local jump spot. It was kinda in the way of a landing and was a bit dangerous so we decided we'd remove it one afternoon just in case like. It look 4 of us like 6 hours to get that bloody thing out 🤣
Should ahve just added a flat top to it and turned it into a step up table. Or like... an angled table? that way there is no lip thing on the landing and no one can nose bonk it and if they do come up short its literally painless. Just my 2cents n_n Still looks fun as heck tho. I can't WAIT to try some local trails on my MTB. Years of BMX tells me its gonna be tons of fun! lol
Awesome build! I build trails a bit too, and i have to say it is very impressive that you chose to remove that stump! Maybe its because I build mine all by hand, but after spending an entire afternoon removing a small stump, I now just build around them😂
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW UPLOAD LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'll have a bike soon :) im saving slowly but surely, gonna have to get a 400$ bike, but not sure how i can ride trails here in japan kekw
I have Covid. It’s been a hard depressing couple weeks. I d decided to make a ‘to do’ list. Riding this trail is on it. Thank you for bringing some sunshine to my life.
The trail is too soft, it’s always hard testing stuff soft. In my experience if you are just barely clearing/caseing when it’s soft, it will be perfect when it hardens up
The other side of the coin is that you invite your advanced MTB pals over, they nail all the features first time out, yawn, and never come back. Don't beat yourself up, you do good work.
I would like to discuss the myth of "trail speed". Different riders, different conditions and even tires all play a part in actual speed. All to many times I've seen people pull back a landing or push forward a takeoff after too little of a test period, only to find later that once things are packed and fast that they made their jump too small.
I have built four tracks that were ten-fifteen features back to back and I have always ended up being the only person to ride them. This last track I made for my seven year old was all table tops dug into the ground so that flat ground wasn't so far away for him. Everything looks great bro!
This is really quite interesting, I guess in the back of my head I knew this was someone's job, but I never really got to see it progress like this. Super awesome video.
Great skills of trail building and great work on the trail. But if you utilized the stump with moss you've cut as a new feature, it would have been better to me. I think the moss on the top of the stump was so adorable. Thanks for the video as always. I love your work!
Brother, love the work you do but please be careful with that chainsaw; invest in some chaps and avoid using the tip as you're liable to get a kickback. BC Wildfire has a great series on YT for bucking/felling
you can't get enough speed for that jump, I hate jumps built this way, which feels like most jumps anywhere :/ it's just not suitable place for a jump like that and too tight turns
You left out the table top on your jump....... You have to give the tenant and the on experienced a place to land safely..... The more experience riders can jump over the table top and land on the back slope....... I used to build BMX bike tracks... In Central Florida in the 1980s........ Just so you know I'm not talking out my ass......
Ive always been wary of doubles - so dangerous if you don't clear the gap. It takes such little extra work to make a table top instead (ie filled in between the two jumps to its ramp height). If you don't make the distance you just land on flat without consequence instead of hitting a wall like on doubles. I guess a 'best of both worlds' result could be had if you made a flat wooden panel that could be placed between the two ramps to make it flat like a table top if you don't clear it, but for the more daring it could still be removable to return it to a regular double.
I don't know exactly where this is. I live in Australia and I love mountain biking. I find it hard to watch land being cleared for new tracks. Here we keep building new trails while the existing ones deteriorate instead of being maintained. I'm not criticising Eric. I am a fan of his. Maybe we could plant more trees whenever we build a new track or revegetate the forgotten trails. I would like to think nature and mountain bikes can't be separated.
This seems interesting but I'm not gonna be allowed by my doctor to start with mountain biking. It's still useful, I'm gonna go together with people that do here ( I hope or skiido users ) and apply a permit by the people that own the woods here to build a slope / trail that is safer than just going blind in the forest with my snowskate ( right now I'm beeing a pest to the people in the crossskiing community, lemme explain they hate people using their track without those types of skis and they might even attack you with their skiing poles ) so I've built a potato mountain of snow in my backyard but it's not enough and I'd like to keep working for becoming good at snowskating even in the summers building a safe trail will be fun and rewarding 😊
There's a much easier way to remove stumps without an excavator using fire I think it's called the rocket stove burn or Norwegian stump burning, theres plenty of UA-cam videos on how to do it.
Wear a helmet with a face shield when using a chainsaw (just like you would riding a bike) and don’t use a sawing motion. You’re just begging for it to kick back and hit you in the face. Don’t wanna be the preachy type but that stuff can go bad really fast!
Bro I MISS so badly chillin in the woods building jumps and tracks and just riding all day. I wasn’t good enough to turn it into a career path for myself and now I have to work in an office with most of my time.
I feel an inch or 2 shorter would help on first jump up if you want it to be safer. Hard to overshoot a jump like that and if you do, it looks like a pretty flat landing also, which makes it safe to do so. (For the rider maybe not the bike :P)
I think you’re losing too much speed in the corner before the jump. Look how late you’re entering the berm. The first half of it is pointless. If you built it up around that mid point and graduated the whole berm more you would maintain a lot more speed. The shorter/sharper the berm, the higher the G-load and the more forward momentum is converted to vertical energy (suspension compression).
Glad you make the trails so they do not have dire consequences when you do not hit the jump perfectly. It is fun slowly learning to ride harder features, it is not fun if you break an arm while in that process. When i was younger i would not care, but now i am older i have an important job and responsebilities to worry about. Also i like if there is a way to opt out if you are not feeling it.
I used to build trails as a kid in my free time. I didn’t have a bike but would bet immense pleasure from other bikers and trucks riding my trails or jumps. I even stole someone’s vote for Obama sign and repurposed it as a sign for a new jump or trail. The trails are still there today
Where I live, you can't even dig with a shovel. You have to use a pickax and a big steel rod. there are so many rocks that you literally just can't even dig a hole.
I got no idea with mountain biking but I do ride moto cross and I do jumps using motorcycles and from what I can tell that first step up jump the landing is too large as many people hit it with the front wheel and thats what caused the guy to flip forward on the step up. Maybe shorten the height and it can be perfect!
I wish my property had that nice of dirt. I go down about 5 inches and hit solid rock. Was slightly disappointed when I found that out because I had wanted to sculpt a trail.
used to door knock in upper bc boonies and constantly saw mountain bikers and people revving chainsaws in the nearby woods, respec for doing all that work for everyone to enjoy
Hey man I know this is an older video and you likely won’t see this but please work on your chainsaw technique keep your feet spread when cutting below the waist I’d hate to see you hit your toe or leg with the saw it only takes a sec to prevent a life long injury
one good way to get into that stump only cause it was off the ground get a jack under it with a wedge and spit it from down up. helps split it up. I have done it before and that stump looked like it would work
you should carve the lip out so it has more pop and make it a few inches taller with the dirt you carve out. Should give you more air and distance without changing the speed
Kinda looks like you have to pin hard af to have enough speed to make it. Id rather have too much speed and shed a little. I notice this is how you build most elements.
It would be helpful to riders if they were able to see the step-up before the final corner, as you need to fully commit to the corner to have enough speed for the jump.
bro has a deviate highlander that i have seen in past videos how can you afford it what do you do so make so much money i cant even afford a 300 dollar bike bro
for packing dirt have you tried one of those things thats like a jack hammer but it has a big flat piece of metal so it goes over a wide area so instead of breaking things up it packs it
I think these dudes were trying to prove themselfs for the camera and thats why one of them crashed none of them looked like they knew what they were doing!
Trail building should be easy like putting clean sheets on a bed. So you can spend more time enjoying the ride...but I get it...sometimes things can get gnarly. We used to make a bunch of jumps for the 20" bmx bikes back in the day.... lots of fun!
Thanks for checking out the video guys! If you’re interested i posted a pure pov lap to my raw channel this morning:

Thanks. I did not know you had a raw channel
the only reason he crashed his because he just let the bike roll over the jump instead of making the bike jump just before he hit the top of the jump like you did so it's not a problem with the feature it's a problem with the one on the bike
Can you just roll it all? I am a new mountin biker and would like to try it out
Get yourself some basic cables and pulleys etc so you can rig cable pulls for your heavy lifting. Your back will thank you.
Never knew you had a raw channel
To be fair, if it is a double black trail, the features are gonna be double black, so you need to have the skill required
Very true, just wanna encourage people to try some of the features without rolling past 🙂 kinda like how some bike parks build your confidence and you end up hitting new stuff because of it

Damn, you're a trail building machine. Tackling that big stump solo was an endeavor. Hope Yuka is doing well.
That trail looks so fun mate, I love how persistant you are when it comes to clearing a feature.
Haha, I bypass many features.. but that's not very interesting :)
I’m a decent rider (comfortable riding pro lines/double blacks) who already knew the general layout by watching these videos and I was struggling to figure out the flow of that section earlier this season.

Also, the wheelbarrow with a half load of dirt makes a great compactor, and you don’t look like a bunny rabbit.
great looking stuff. Not for me but glad you all enjoy it.
Don't blame it on your track bro, its not the tracks fault or yours🤣👍👍 thats all part of learning falling of the bike
Great videos. Is there a reason that the jump was not a tabletop?
If you aren't already, please wear chaps when using a chainsaw! Love your content.

Thats a quick way to bust a thousand dollar wheel lol
On e you realize he sounds like Mordecai you can’t unhear it.
All I keep hearing in my head is:

How is Yuka doing?

Thanks for continually making an already great trail even better!🙏
Thanks guys. I love doing it, so it doesn't feel much like work :)
Happens, but it just makes victory much sweeter when you finally get it working as it should all around.
Eric - it’s a great feature and an incredible trail. I’ll be back for redemption! Ryan
Rad! Go get it!
great video as always eric but - where is your eye protection???????
I can’t wait to get out there one day and walk all these features! 😂 looks so awesome. Great work as always.

I remember watching your videos like 2 yrs ago and here I am back. Also this time I subscribed :)
as a beginner my biggest gripe is gaps.. build tabletops and it wont matter if we fall short (which we will)
This is really quite interesting, I guess in the back of my head I knew this was someone's job, but I never really got to see it progress like this. Super awesome video.
Eric you should post a video from your boomerang farm trip
Nah it just means a majority of people riding it suck
Subtly timing your grunts to the classical music piece was fantastic.
Love your trail building vids! The editing and narrative is just perfect 👏

Sadly, I just found out while watching this what duff is and that it is a useless material. My last name is Duffin. Am I a useless material? 😮😢😅
Always entertaining to watch your videos.
Can we get another video of you riding the complete trail, you've built so far. Would be awesome. Great Videos at all.

There's a much easier way to remove stumps without an excavator using fire I think it's called the rocket stove burn or Norwegian stump burning, theres plenty of UA-cam videos on how to do it.

You should look into a stamping tool for packing the dirt on the trails you create.
I feel an inch or 2 shorter would help on first jump up if you want it to be safer. Hard to overshoot a jump like that and if you do, it looks like a pretty flat landing also, which makes it safe to do so. (For the rider maybe not the bike :P)

I like your features 😜

Stumps are very challenging. A puzzle sometimes. Chains and a tractor sometimes help, but sometimes I really feel like I need a bulldozer.
I used to build trails as a kid in my free time. I didn’t have a bike but would bet immense pleasure from other bikers and trucks riding my trails or jumps. I even stole someone’s vote for Obama sign and repurposed it as a sign for a new jump or trail. The trails are still there today
Thankfully the first person jumping landed on his back and had his foot pushing his bike. Otherwise it could have ended badly!
at 2:48 you could say you were.... stumped
Where I live, you can't even dig with a shovel. You have to use a pickax and a big steel rod. there are so many rocks that you literally just can't even dig a hole.
I got no idea with mountain biking but I do ride moto cross and I do jumps using motorcycles and from what I can tell that first step up jump the landing is too large as many people hit it with the front wheel and thats what caused the guy to flip forward on the step up.

Seek God and his sweet amazing grace. Jesus is the way to truth to abundant life. Read the KJV, and pray for wisdom.
I wish my property had that nice of dirt. I go down about 5 inches and hit solid rock. Was slightly disappointed when I found that out because I had wanted to sculpt a trail.
used to door knock in upper bc boonies and constantly saw mountain bikers and people revving chainsaws in the nearby woods, respec for doing all that work for everyone to enjoy
Hey man I know this is an older video and you likely won’t see this but please work on your chainsaw technique keep your feet spread when cutting below the waist I’d hate to see you hit your toe or leg with the saw it only takes a sec to prevent a life long injury
could you tell me what if the best kind of bike for rock garden, dusty dirt, and steep sections because im trying to get a new MTB thank you
That crash was poor technique... Nothing to do with the trail.
Other fella called it right... once things firm up it'll run sweat 🤘
Sounds like my mx track that's 1m wide through the forest with huge gaps that all my friends got broken bones on lol
one good way to get into that stump only cause it was off the ground get a jack under it with a wedge and spit it from down up. helps split it up. I have done it before and that stump looked like it would work
I find it kind of funny how you make the exact same sound every time you land the jump, lol
Theres people who just make bike trails in the woods? Like I guess it makes sense I just never thought of it... damn
you should carve the lip out so it has more pop and make it a few inches taller with the dirt you carve out. Should give you more air and distance without changing the speed
Kinda looks like you have to pin hard af to have enough speed to make it. Id rather have too much speed and shed a little. I notice this is how you build most elements.
It would be helpful to riders if they were able to see the step-up before the final corner, as you need to fully commit to the corner to have enough speed for the jump.
bro has a deviate highlander that i have seen in past videos how can you afford it what do you do so make so much money i cant even afford a 300 dollar bike bro
for packing dirt have you tried one of those things thats like a jack hammer but it has a big flat piece of metal so it goes over a wide area so instead of breaking things up it packs it
I'd say if your already pinning it and your still coming up half a bike length or more short, the step up is too long
You should come to sundre Alberta we don’t have a bike park but we have som interesting stuff
Tanneright would have destroyed that stump in one go. Would have had to fill the hole but the stump would have been gone
I think these dudes were trying to prove themselfs for the camera and thats why one of them crashed none of them looked like they knew what they were doing!
In Poland to cut this dead tree from trail, you would need like 50 permissions :)
damn, that's a lot of duff...
people need to learn how to ride on 26 hardtails not 29 enduro bikes. the industry killed skill building
Trail building should be easy like putting clean sheets on a bed. So you can spend more time enjoying the ride...but I get it...sometimes things can get gnarly.
We used to make a bunch of jumps for the 20" bmx bikes back in the day.... lots of fun!
I’m not too sure if you’ll see this but! How well do you think a hardtail would fair?
I would say the ladder, that feature is not flow-e. Lose too much speed in the corner.
