I think we have much different dirt to work with then they do Jordan…. Bc clay isn’t the same as Alberta clay. Never mind whatever that lumpy junk he had is.
It doesn’t pack well without moisture. Keep in mind this is close to pure clay. Not like the clay we have in bc which still has mineral content. Even if it did have moisture it would crack as it rains and dries.
We do the same, pure clay is like butter in the sun after rain. A thin layer of sand is a huge difference and the clay will creep trough eventually, making the layer concrete alike.
Protip: You shouldn't be able to clear the jumps that easy when its fresh. Once they've had weeks/months to set, you're gonna be sending those to flat without trying! When it's freshly built, you should be casing the landings!
Nice build. Our family ran into you and Yuka at Bright. Actually my wife and two boys did, I was climbing because i couldn't get a shuttle ticket! Keep the content rolling in. Keen to see the end of this project.
It may took a year but it was worth the weight as the saying goes all good things come to those who wait on this video was definitely a good thing love you hard work at Erik Never mind slow and steady wins the race slow and shredded puts a smile on your face lol

Hey Bcpov, I have a bike park I wanted you to visit, but ill get to that later. I think you should do a follower series, where we pick bike parks for you to visit and you give us your opinion on it. Just an idea though, I want you to visit Trestle Bike Park Colorado. love you channel bye 😊( Like if you Like the idea )
Love it! I've been an excavator operator for about 18 years and watching your learning experience and how the trail comes together is fantastic. I've only had the chance to build trails with machines a few times and man is it fun compared to civil and mining duties!
Holy shit man! You are becoming my F…..N hero!!! I have been building and maintaining trails for around 15 years, I run excavator and snowcat, and you have surpassed my expectations for your machine skills!!! Keep ripping it up man!
After digging with a shovel for 15 years I've found myself finally in the cab of a digger this year. I would love to have a tilt bucket like yours! Building crazy shapes without one is so hard. Keep up the good work dude! Can't wait to see the results.
while you are at tassie did you ride air ya garn at blue derby and hazy dayz they are the two main jump lines. also try the st helens tracks on send helens.
So if guy had a mini ex, with a grading bucket, and about 70 acres of wooded hillside, with spring fed creeks carving ditches throughout, in North east Texas....how would a guy convince you to come build some trails?
Hi Eric I was lucky enough to see you in derby when you were riding with Yuka. a few months earlier I was even lucky enough to ride at meadow bank due to a close friend who's related to the owner of the place. even driving up in the buggy to the top was a mission. love your videos hope to see more vids like this
Looks great Eric! I will definitely have to make the trip from up north in Penguin down to Meadowbank to ride your new trail. If you guys are still in the state, I’d be happy to show you around the trails we have on the Northwest coast of Tassie 😎
Dude! We did the same thing to our taco Hoochie! We ended up having to drain the tank with the fuel pump because the drain on the tank was plugged and would not flow very well. But a flush of the primary filter and replacement of the secondary filter it fired up just fine just like you guys! And I was the one who put the petrol in the diesel can but I was under the impression it was diesel! So a tip for the not so wise always smell your diesel before putting it in your excavator!
Also love seeing you guys going you own paths while keeping the relationship nice and loving, I mean love this kind of relationship, you are an amazing example for me thank you
Hi Eric, I wonder if there is any chance you will make the review of your Deviant bike after 2 years of riding? The high-pivot design in Highlander is a bit controversial for me. This bike pretends to be "one bike to ride the all". The HP suspension is not so universal in my humble opinion. The main feature that someone could call "a cons" is that a bike's length rises during the suspension's compression. It is mostly noticeable while taking off to jump or turning in tight corners. For me, the feeling is kind of weird and in my humble opinion, that kind of suspension design suits more DH bikes, then to All-Moutain/ Enduro bikes. In DH trails due to the higher average speed, the turns are more gentle and jumps are quick and low. You rode plenty of features based on which you tested HP in various ways. I wonder if will you agree with me? Does the mentioned effect bother you or it is something that bearly noticeable? Would you love to see high-pivot suspension on your next bike? Maybe you chose the DW link similar to Yuka's Santa Cruz?
I’m a noob so i was surpriced you need a seatbelt in a machine that goes like 2mph😂 And i feel like if it tips over you want the freedom to get out and not be stuck. But again, i’m a noob
This is brilliant! If you ever need a place to stay and trails to ride, we are building our own little mtb trail paradise on a big block of land near Launceston. Hit me up if you’re in the area!
Great to see you’re still alive. We thought you’d got lost in Australia somewhere 😂. Trail is going to be amazing. Looking forward to riding it on our next Tassie trip!
It’s so great to see your content again. I watched your channel all summer last summer while I was injured and it helped motivate me to get back out on the trails. Thanks so much for being an inspiration to this community!
Y’all should come down and try riding the McCall/Donnelly area in Idaho. There are endless trails of all varieties and it’s a lot closer drive than Bentonville! I personally think the trails are the best in Idaho, and so do most Idahoans.
So far, you're the only comment I've seen that gets it lol I saw him clearing that fresh line so easily... like WTF Usually use my EMTB for trail testing, and even then I wanna be casing freshly built stuff!
great video eric. you have inspired me to build some trails on my property. if, you are bored you can build some trails on my property in arizona. i'll even get you a tractor! lol.
You and Yuka's video are my favorite MTB youtube content. Seth is #2! Whenever I see you guys post I have to stop what I'm doing and watch. It's my guilty pleasure. Keep up the videos, the story aspect keep me hooked.
super cool. Know what you mean about learning. I had a mini ex for a week while digging out my pool. Man it felt so slow the first couple of times. By the end I was getting good, just in time to return it.
2 things I have on my bucket list. Going out there and riding trails again!! I’ve been away from riding for many years!! This has definitely lit a fire in me. And it’s at a vineyard also!!! Thank you!!
looks pretty cool! But why don't you put clay on top as the surface? That will pack better than the sandy soil wouldn't it?
I think we have much different dirt to work with then they do Jordan…. Bc clay isn’t the same as Alberta clay. Never mind whatever that lumpy junk he had is.

@@BCpov I see, makes sense!
@@BCpov Where and what is that post wrap you used on Stone Starlet? It's called RESIST but I cannot find it anywhere!
We do the same, pure clay is like butter in the sun after rain. A thin layer of sand is a huge difference and the clay will creep trough eventually, making the layer concrete alike.
Excited for bc pov
No new videos since two month. Is every okay with Yuka und you?
Yuka posted recently.
I was wondering the same thing.
Bcpov why haven’t you made a video in so long

Dude you got the hang of the excavator quick! Also, very relatable watching you lose your mind in the digger. Loved it
haha, it can be slightly mind numbing in there!
Love it! I've been an excavator operator for about 18 years and watching your learning experience and how the trail comes together is fantastic. I've only had the chance to build trails with machines a few times and man is it fun compared to civil and mining duties!
I can image moving dirt around and making things flat might be a little less exciting 🙂
I wonder if you and yuka could do videos explaining your go pros/ mics and the equipment you use and why? This is a minefield for beginners.
Hoping to bump into you around Adelaide if you visit South Australia! Recommend visiting Fox Creek MTB Park before you head back to Canada
BCpov, where are you? Where's Yuka. I've been missing your content. Is overthink ok? Are you stuck in Tasmania?
Holy shit man! You are becoming my F…..N hero!!! I have been building and maintaining trails for around 15 years, I run excavator and snowcat, and you have surpassed my expectations for your machine skills!!! Keep ripping it up man!

@BCpov when are you going to uploud the next half of this build?
Your next video should be a compilation of noises that Yuka makes
amazing trail building i live in hobart and saw you i love your videos keep on uploading
I love ur videos u are by far my favourite mtb youtuber
Where are you Eric? :)
Will you guys be coming to new zealand??
So if guy had a mini ex, with a grading bucket, and about 70 acres of wooded hillside, with spring fed creeks carving ditches throughout, in North east Texas....how would a guy convince you to come build some trails?
Haha, send me an email!
Hi Eric I was lucky enough to see you in derby when you were riding with Yuka.
a few months earlier I was even lucky enough to ride at meadow bank due to a close friend who's related to the owner of the place.

It’s my uncles place
Looks great Eric! I will definitely have to make the trip from up north in Penguin down to Meadowbank to ride your new trail.
If you guys are still in the state, I’d be happy to show you around the trails we have on the Northwest coast of Tassie 😎
So glad that bc Pov is back after even a few months. I’ve been so bored
Where is the rest of the build for the trail?
Dude! We did the same thing to our taco Hoochie! We ended up having to drain the tank with the fuel pump because the drain on the tank was plugged and would not flow very well.

When are u going to whistler
For your first time in an excavator you killed it!
久しぶり！ Nice to see you out there again!
Your trailbuilding videos are always entertaining and educating at the same time 🙌
When is next vid with the end part
Also love seeing you guys going you own paths while keeping the relationship nice and loving, I mean love this kind of relationship, you are an amazing example for me thank you
You should come too Perth in Western Australia there’s this well known double black jump line called rampage
I thought something happened to you! where were you???
Looks amazing now, can’t wait for the rest ❤

You should print out a shot of you in the excavator and put a description under it: "Day One in Trail-Building School" :-D
When is the next part?
YESSSSSS A NEW VID!!!
I’m a noob so i was surpriced you need a seatbelt in a machine that goes like 2mph😂 And i feel like if it tips over you want the freedom to get out and not be stuck. But again, i’m a noob
Nice one Eric! Good times 🤙🚴♀️❤️
Thanks for the help out there!
Damn, gas in the diesel tank 😳

hello i just wannted to ask is 2010 cube acid any good foor mtb i just started riding
Can you pls go to New Zealand because right now it’s skii season and the bike park is still open here in Christchurch.
Great to see you’re still alive. We thought you’d got lost in Australia somewhere 😂. Trail is going to be amazing. Looking forward to riding it on our next Tassie trip!
It’s so great to see your content again. I watched your channel all summer last summer while I was injured and it helped motivate me to get back out on the trails. Thanks so much for being an inspiration to this community!
Tassie local here. I know the trail you worked on. Was cool to come across your build video!
Been waiting for this, need more frequent updates. Thanks for sharing.
Exited to see this video! I already know this video is gonna be awesome
Y’all should come down and try riding the McCall/Donnelly area in Idaho. There are endless trails of all varieties and it’s a lot closer drive than Bentonville! I personally think the trails are the best in Idaho, and so do most Idahoans.
That really looks like California I’m so shocked it’s Tasmania
Dude at 11:49 could’ve died or got seriously injured by jumping out
15:40 there should have been a warning for headphone users...
Quite entertaining watching the struggle against getting our soil to actually do what you want…it never does
i think maybe a trailer could help with moving the digger
Love this video and if your every in nj or around that area try going to mountain creek bike park
A compactor plate after you’re rolling compression passes really gives the surface a hardened finish
Dude! Time to market those trail building skills.
Nice work ! What was the app you used to calculate de degree of the slope?
Great video! Did you end up moving to Australia?
Once that dirt firms up prepare to over clear those by a mile haha. Amazing looking trail so far!
So far, you're the only comment I've seen that gets it lol I saw him clearing that fresh line so easily... like WTF
Usually use my EMTB for trail testing, and even then I wanna be casing freshly built stuff!
your editing style has such a distinctive personality
Is this opened to the public and are you still in Australia
Wrap the excavator cage in Cling Film.
It was fun to watch his hair grow from a buzz to normal again
Looks super fun. I'd love to get the hang of working with one of those as well. It's been all by hand for me so far.
why didn't you tow the excavator to the top with a trailer?
Should have built a gap jump on the fallen tree
I have loved sand and dirt since I was a small boy
Nice work Eric 🤙🏼. How was your time with Luke and Jaron?
Great, nice guys.
I wish I had a good bike so I can do stuff like this.
I waited so long for a vid so long I saw him irl
Great video 👍🚵🏻 I’ve missed your updates. Keep them coming ok forward to this trail build
Loved the video tho to me janky Northshore features will always be more appealing that dirt-highways ❤
Will we see you in Australia next summer ?
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
If you're in Australia, you must go to Melrose, an amazing MTB town. It's a few hours up from Adelaide in South Australia.
You should come to dawson for the next enduro in august i don’t know the exact date yet, i will update you when i get more information
Agust 5th 2023 9:00am (kids)
Was not expecting to see Simon on a yt video 🤙
He's got a UA-cam channel now, Blacksnake trails
Haha you just never know where I'll pop up Dutchy 😅
So good to hear what’s happening. Have you been able to get to the mean range MTB park?
The new track, flow monster is great.
You're finally back! We've missed you BC POV!!
great video eric. you have inspired me to build some trails on my property. if, you are bored you can build some trails on my property in arizona. i'll even get you a tractor! lol.
Whens the next bc build video!
You should go to the meehan! its great

Super ça 👍
Man I love building trails. There's nothing like figuring out a new shape, tool or technique! Great video
2 things I have on my bucket list. Going out there and riding trails again!! I’ve been away from riding for many years!! This has definitely lit a fire in me. And it’s at a vineyard also!!! Thank you!!
just moved to bc! would love to get to know some of these trails! i'm actually in smithers, :D
Is there going to be a part 2
All jumps tables, easy to roll through, and safe to case…sounds like my kind of line.
I'm really looking forward to hitting those Meadowbank trails. They look sweet!
Never thought id see the day BCPOV comes to my home and become a tradie using machinery in tassie.
When is the next vidoi coming
lets goooooo
