I thought Seth would have had a beard as a kid.
*aggressive snort*
@@Ahmed-gu1vx bruh wtf is this comment 🤣
Oh dude, thank you for the belly laugh. I needed that.
Yeah, I thought he'd be grey already too!
omg yeah
The young Seth looks a little different…but kinda the same.
I see what you did
BRILLIANT!
My guy
best. comment. ever
This comment is GOLD
Ah... the days before plastic bags had labels, 'THIS IS NOT A TOY!!" LOL!
50 years ago car manuals told you how to adjust the valves. now it tells you not to drink the battery acid.
@@loder6179 They still tell you how to adjust the valves
@@bovice1766 i think it was supposed 2 be a joke
Believe me it's not.
When I saw the clip at 8:38 I was speechless, especially given that his parents were probably the ones filming 😂
"Put da toddlah in a plastic bag, it'll be hilahrious!" "Now chuck 'im in da pool! You gettin all dis on da video?"
Holy frack, I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 got me cracked up at 1a.m.
I was dying when I saw that clip
"I want to get in a plastic bag and jump in the pool". "Sure Seth that sounds like a great idea, no way you'll drown or suffocate". We live in a different world these days!
haha
..., but..., but he stayed dry! ;)
haha
Seth is the reason plastic bag packaging says "this is not a toy".
@@dennismicallef9350 I have always scratched my head wondering who was the reason for that warning!
Finally, I know it! 😄
Na I'd still do that😂😂
Seth, you should do a character for sponsored videos where you become “Long Island Seth” to talk about the sponsor. I can’t be the only one who wants it!
Haha, just like Dusty AKA Sam Pilgrim!
I want more Long Island Seth as well!
you're not the only one
I support this idea. 🤣
You mean "Lawn Guy Land"
The young Seth looks very similar to the one we know today.
Almost like it’s the same person 🤔
He also gave me some Alex Honold vibes😂
@@tofejaajefot2777 GREAT point!
Did you know that it's the same guy
Or Adam Sandler
When I was around 10, my friends and I spent a day playing with a big cardboard box. One of us had a house with a big staircase so we took turns getting sealed in the box with a couple of cushions or pillows and the others threw the box down the stairs. The 70s - Good times.
We had a freaky ancient staircase in my grandparents barn that we put a tarp down and then wrapped another one on couch cushions (that we weren't supposed to be using this way for sure, We got spanked for it after we got warned the first time.) And slid down from the top.
For context, my grandparents farm house was built in 1902 and the barn in 1904. All the staircases are built for functionality. Steep as hell with tiny added railing, going to tiny box ended bedrooms. My grandparents didn't care about having electricity through out the house till I was a teenager. So, no lights or heating or cooling after dark. You brought up a flashlight or used one of the gas lamp fixtures in the wall.
The only modern thing about that house was that they put skylights and a modern kitchen in beside the bathroom. They kept the 1920s wood stove for emergencies in the downstairs for when the power went out.
But getting back to the windows, they served as vents and excellent places to climb up onto the roof and look out when your room got too hot.
One of my cousins went sledding off the roof from those. Again not with anyones blessing. If I remember correctly, my brother put him up to go first because he thought of it, but chickened out by the time they built the landing. They only managed to do it once because it sounded like God or Satan was plaguing the house with hellfire when he slid off. My grandparents were too steaming mad (and now that I recognize it, scared) to discipline them for that one.
Ah, good times.
My kids are riding down the stairs on a toddler bed matress as I type this....no helmet
Stairs free play equipment, you just need a piece of cardboard and some imagination.
my sister and I would get in our sleeping bags and slide down our big staircase - so much fun
That sounds epic. We used to dive headfirst down the carpeted staircase like Seth hit that slide. Without helmets even. Ah, the carpet burns…good times for sure.
"Jerseys don't irritate your nipples." The struggle is real.
I just wanted to say the same!!!
What does? I’ve never had that problem.
Baby bottom cream works a treat guys 🤣
Seth used to talk like a 1960's New York mafia goon when he was a kid
Seths about to throw someone in the east river
@@LooseWheelFilms probably put them in a plastic bag first.
@@Skilan506 lol
@@LooseWheelFilms oh no
When I saw the title, I was expecting some old Florida “Bike Hacks” videos to pop up. What we got did not disappoint, though.
Yes, but I feel like the thumbnail needs to be changed.
Yes but this is good
Being in the plastic bag in the water is the sketchiest thing I have ever seen. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing, Mom and Seth.
I feel really privileged. As a kid, I had an adjustable wrench to go along with my vise grips.
I used that adjustable wrench for everything! Ah memories
*adjustable hammer
* Vice (US spelling is actually vise)
@@paddor it actually is vise
@@redneck_3383 It's both
Your parents had their hands full. You were literally climbing the walls, omg
Sending the jump at like 7 years of age with no helmet in traffic while a car flies by. Ahh the 80s
when that car drove by i felt alive
@@robertreynolds930 my hands got sweaty.
Me: "Why is seth explaining how stuff was in the 90's? I was there!"
My wife: "Because you're nearly 40 and your kids have no idea what VHS is."
My kids didn't know what a dial tone was or understand that TV used to have commercial breaks where you all raced to the bathroom before your show came back on.
@@garyanderson6635 how old are your kids?
@@garyanderson6635 rly tv in our country still has commercial breaks i mean granted we have netflix amazon prome and disney plus now but yea normal tv still has commercial breaks
@@SimonBauer7 yea, but I think Gary's point is that cable TV is losing popularity with younger generations and being replaced by on demand streaming (like I'm 18 and haven't purposefully watched cable tv since I watched nickelodeon)
2:04 I can’t watch this without thinking of Napoleon Dynamite and saying “got like, 3 feet of air that time”
LOL
After watching this I am convinced that whenever Seth talks he’s covering up his accent
You can definitely hear it whenever he says “water”.
Man this is pure gold! Thanks Seths Mom for digtizing all those VHS cassettes!
Super cool to have a dad that did that kind of stuff with you, the support you had from your family seems pretty awesome. That's the dream for a lot of kids. I know I used to WISH my dad would put the beer down and take me for a ride, or play catch or something. Kudos to your pops, and Momz for holding the camera.
Your accents coming back strong after watching these vids man 😂
Seth impersonating his younger more-Long-Island self is one of the greatest things ever
This is really awesome. Shows you're an actual human, not just another youtuber out to make a dollar. I can tell this is your passion, and so can the rest of the MTB community.
Your future is very bright my friend!
Seths modern day Long Island accent impression makes him sound like Adam Sandler
Now it’s not Seth’s tutorial, “well yes, but actually no.”
What ?
Something different but kinda the same
@@icantsee0 cause Seth does tutorials, but he’s not doing one in this video, he’s reacting to himself doing one.
@@Talledo12 haha 𝕐𝕌ℙ
@@nickbauer4567 your wording was weird asf. I had no clue what you were on about.
1:19
Seth's mom: "Well that's not funny Seth!"
Lil Seth: I don't know WTF you talkin bout shit was comedy! 🤣😂🤣😂
It’s amazing how much he’s grown both in viewers and the quality
I love when the person behind the camera is like that’s not funny Seth and Seth‘s cracking up I hit the carrrr 🤣😂
So what i have noticed is that seth is now again starting to upload more since his injury, and video production break, so i just want to thank and appreciate Seth and all of the berm peak crew for from teaching to entertaining us in these times.
The bags in the pool were a different level of sketchy. Even for the 90's. Great video
Seth, I'mma need that whole rap overdub video posted. Seriously, post it. Do it. Do it.
“I can’t do this because I don’t have the right bike”
I have a single speed dj that I’ve been downhill biking in. Sure, it sucks sometimes but use what you gave until you can upgrade. Make it work if you love it. :)
it isnt about the bike it is about the rider have you seen people ride roadbikes down mtb trails?
@@SimonBauer7 I have and its amazing. The bike helps, but it doesn't do all the work. :)
It’s crazy to see how far Seth has come
Can we get an entire episode of something, anything (breakfast 2.0?) in as thick of an accent you can possibly do.
Throwing my weight behind this
YES
I really like how Seth doesn’t force his mercy on us, but still lets us know I that its there, and it is sick and comfy
This is amazing! I grew up in the same era doing exactly this. Never remember wearing helmets or caring for safety. Times have changed so much! I have tapes somewhere I need to find now at my dads house. Glad to see you carried this with you from childhood to make a career out of it. Thanks for sharing, Seth!
Putting your kid in a plastic bag and then in a pool. Yup. Those were the 80s 😃
This is so cool! Seths a little different but..kinda the same haha! A few years back I was searching UA-cam videos to figure out how to fix my car stereo and stumbled across a young Seth video, i recognized the voice instantly! Not bike hacks but car stereo installation. You are very good at what you do and your videos have been helping me since 2016, thank you!
That foot floor pump brings back memories. Haven't seen one in DECADES!
Still sold in car shops here...they were for cars...originals can go fir a few ££ now!
This is awesome. Back in the 90s if you had a camcorder, they were huge and you could put a VHS tape in them. Super heavy. No one wore pads or helmets in the 90s. If you did, you were a dork. You could put tape over the end of the VHS and record over and over on a VHS tape. Same with cassette tapes.
The bag in a pool has got to be one of the most dangerous things I’ve ever seen
The good old days of Lawn Darts, Click Clacks, swimming in canals, and my grandfather towing me behind his pickup on a janky hunk of wood that we mounted four casters to.
"So anyway my mom sent me a lotta videos and in a lot of 'em I'd be doing some pretty dangerous stuff"
*shows baby seth going down a slide the wrong way*
Oh thats not so bad
*proceeds to show toddler seth climbing a fricking wall like spiderman*
No wonder why seth has tree trunks for legs
Lol did you see him in a plastic bag in the pool? Lol
@@olmoose6258 yess! I was so scared!
@@Filou-sf1gd don't worry... I think he makes it...
@@judevenalian5008 I don't know man, he might not have survived!
@@57F100 They pulled him out of the pool before the bag flooded, then stopped recording. I think they probably would have recorded if they put him in a second time. I think he probably made it (?)
I normally upvote your videos because I enjoy the content. Today you get the upvote solely because after watching your home videos it brought back a ton of fun memories of me riding a bike as a kid. Thanks :)
Geez, literally the change in quality is unbelievable, from potato quality to feeling like this is a TV show!
I feel like the highest praise I can give is saying that I'm a roadie and I'm totally digging this channel
we need a t shirt that said "when the only tool you have is a vice grip, everything starts to look like chewing gum"
Different times, indeed! I’m told that I learned to swim when I was two years old and my dad just chucked me into the neighborhood pool.
me and my brothers made our own bungee jump by tying a whole bunch of old bike inner tubes together and tying one end to a high branch in a tree. the good old days
yea the 80s/90s/early 2000s where awesome as i told i was born in 2003 so a little late but yea these where chill times
This is proof that talent is overrated! Seth has been becoming a master of his craft since childhood. Overnight successes don't exist! Inspiring 🔥
I have also suffered from an injury and your videos have been a great source of recreation 👏👏🤙
This is a good time to appreciate Seth for how much he has done in this time. Thanks, Seth, keep it up!
I’m about the same age as Seth so this is a very accurate depiction of the 80’s-90’s in regards to lack of safety. Very cool to see that Seth had the presentation skills back then and is able to share it w the rest of us. Getting paid to do what you love = not a job.
I think I’ve watched every single one of Seths videos more than 10 times.
Same
Same
Your impression of your younger self in the long island accent is hilarious
"I usually like to pump it up a bit so it holds its form a little better when I put it in." THATS WHAT SHE SAID 😂😂
Bro you are bringing back some serious memories. Every kid back then was out there wildin’ on a BMX hitting plywood on a cinder block.
Seth mocking his own accent is hilarious...
This is my favorite episode yet, and I love them all.
I’ve been here from the beginning, and can I say it’s been a pleasure to watch your channel and yourself grow through the years. Keep up the good work!
My neighbor who’s in his 50s told me stories of his biking adventures as a kid. He talked about the no helmet thing at the time and how him with his friends would bike as fast as they could off of big jumps they made in the middle of the street. The times they crashed, he said they could tasted their teeth from grinding when hitting the ground. He also shared how they built a whole mini dirt track with jumps and berms in his backyard. All the biking kids in the neighborhood would race each other on his mini track.
"The jerseys don't irritate your nipples."
You got me there, I'll take 5
This is comedy gold!! I love it when creators I like do these "reaction videos", it's cute and hilarious at the same time! Seth, PLEASE do more of this!! I could watch stuff like this fro hours on end! It's super funny thatnSeth repeats what the young Seth said in a way that's more understandable and how Seth throws in tidbits here and there!
4:00 seth has never worked on a rusty bike or one with a stuck nut before then? vise grips are an essential part of a toolkit especially for stuck stuff. great for pinching cables too.
This doesn't make any sense. If a nut is stuck, a vise grip is the worse thing because it only grabs the nut on two places. An actual wrench would be way better for a stuck nut since it grabs in all 6 sides. I think your point is that vise grips are better for random things that get stuck, not bike parts lol
@@charlesfreeman8215 usually can't fit an actual wrench on a rusted nut because the rust messes up the shape so much. If it's not rusted bad enough to mess.ip the shape then you prolly don't need vise grips yeah. Also a wrench only grabs in 2 places technically as well. Unless you're using one of those 12 point sides on a box wrench which is gonna make it way worse. Some vise grips actually make a hex shape when closed for additional grip
@@charlesfreeman8215 exactly. That's what impact wrenches are for.
The piece of wood and log jump is one of my best childhood memories too xD
Doing something different but kind of the some same since he was 3!
6:12 "now all i have to do is pump it up and put the cap back on, for this i use my pump"
Damn bro
That's insanely cool and fun memory's
Thanks for posting. It’s very interesting to see that you were taking Bikes apart and learning by doing basic repairs back in your youth. That’s what I did when I was a kid back in the day. I am 72 now and frequently get text from younger bike buddies asking if I can fix something simple on their bike. I get lots of good beer in exchange. Been a big fan of your channel for a long time.
This video should have been called:
Reacting to the start of history being made!
a kid in a plastic bag in the pool!! That is the best thing I've ever seen. In a world where lawn darts are now illegal I can only imagine how people will react to that. This was such an awesome video, amazing how your past can really give clues to your future. Looks like you were an awesome kid Seth, thanks for the lifetime of videos.
This….is amazing!
Seth, as someone who is only a few years older than you and grew up with the big VHS-C camcorder in the family, it is awesome seeing these old video clips. Wish I could find the old tapes of me jumping off our driveway ledge on my banana seat bike that was WAY too big for me at the time.
Man watching this video makes me feel like I am part of your family
Dom Torreto “did you say family?”
*guitar intensifies*
I also used to climb up the door frames when I was a kid!! Thanks for sharing these memories! Love the new Berm Peak shirt!
That was so awesome to watch man the good ole days thank you seth for your blast from the past
Probably my favorite Berm Peak video ever!!! You were born to do this Seth and God bless your dad for starting you on your journey!!!
The 80"s/90's were wild.....good times, though. Thanks for bringing back memories.
As a fellow 90s kids, we were built different! My mom likes to tell the story of the first injury I can't remember on two wheels. Riding along the top of a curb as a skinny and riding right in to a mail box and getting clotheslined right off the bike. Glad we all wear helmets now, even if it might be a little too late!
Born in 93 I had no interest in riding a bicycle growing up. All I wanted to do was ride dirt bikes. Right before my 5th birthday I asked and begged for a Yamaha 50 dirt bike but my dad would always say "you can't even ride a regular bike why would I buy you a dirt bike?" I asked if I learned to ride a bicycle before my birthday would he buy me one and he kinda laughed it off and agreed as he left for work. In those hours while he was gone my mom watched from the kitchen as I tought myself to ride my looney tunes bike in the front yard. When my dad got home he couldn't believe it and followed through with his agreement and I got that Yamaha. After that I've always enjoyed both styles and now many years later i ride almost nothing but mtb, spending most of my time hitting local jump lines and hope to make the few hours drive to Seth's Park once it's open.
This is by far my favorite video I've seen from Seth simply because all the memories it brought back for me.
When all you have is vise grips everything starts to look like chewing gum 😆😆😆.. best quote of the year so far.
0:28 daaaaayuuum, didn't know seth was so gangsta
Thanks for sharing this with us Seth 👊🏻
I remember working on my bike in the 70's using pliers, flat blade screwdriver, hammer, and an adjustable wrench for everything.
It's going to be fun to watch your channel grow with the little one. Love your videos. I taught my little girl how to ride her bike without training wheels over my lunch break today, proud dad moment. Keep up the great work!
Kinds these days just can't have the childhoods we had in the 80's / 90's ...
Want to talk about the "golden days", those were it. And this, coming from someone born in 1988.
I got so many fond memories, I remember building a bow and actual arrows (sharpened pointy sticks) and actually shooting it at my friends ... where's the safety gear there lol.
Sure we got cuts and bruises, along with broken bones on the regular, but we lived and had fun. We didn't judge the other kids for what they had or didn't have, what they wore or didn't wear, what color skin they had or where they came from.
Thanks for the throwback Seth ^^
Always a great day when there’s a new berm peak video.
The best part is the smile is still the same
I love the talk about how things weren't as safe in the 90s and Seth cuts to a video of him in a pool floating in a plastic bag lol.
love the look down memory lane look like you had a good childhood and loving family
Hi seth im bong, i have a 7 year old son and he is a big fan of yours. He always watch your video, from old to new everyday, as in every single day before going to bed. He's always waiting for your new video.. he's sleeping right now im sure tomorow the first thing he will do is to check if you have ang new video.. thanks seth for being inspiration to my son.
90s were the best and seth just showed to all of us right now.
Honestly best video to date, loved it!
Dude OMG .. Seeing that Old red floor pump Instantly brought back so many child hood memories of mine ... WOW!!!
I think your dad was just as pumped as you were about hitting that jump. Good memories!
That's awesome your parents captured those moments and thanks for sharing, another unique topic👍
Hey Seth, Thank you for sharing those videos with us. It was very interesting to see the development over the years hahaha. You were destined to do what you do know!
The little pictures on BERM PEAK letters is very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing Seth, that was really enjoyable to be brought along for the ride on your wee journey down memory lane....as a child of the 80's and 90's I can relate to so much of this!
Thank you for this gold Seth! Keep safe and thanks for the awesome content!!
I enjoyed watching these old videos. You're dad is awesome! 😃
