This is so sweet! Using the skinny pieces of wood to make the transition is something I'm not sure I've seen on any biking channel. This could also be a great way to make a giant lip!
I have looked online off and on over the past few years for tips on building a pump track. Your video was the first one I've seen that shows the ratios and the whole circle thing. Hell of a job explaining that with the info-graphics too!
Just a friendly tip to help you keep your hand plane smooth: use something to take the dried glue off the edges of your wood. When wood glue is dry, it's as hard as glass and can take chips out of your blade. What works really well on long, flat surfaces for me is a paint scraper. You just use the scraper to take off all the glue lumps, and you also have a smoother surface to start on with your plane.
Dude. Your really putting in the work! Lets see you put all of these builds together and ride the entire trail! Love what you do. Inspiring to so many.
Great video. Reminded me of when I poured a new concrete sidewalk and used 1/4” plywood that had been soaked in water to make the forms. I could get nice flowing curves like that. Thanks!
You’re getting a Bill Nye kinda vibe with you videos, and it’s great. Explaining the science behind everything you do yet keeping it fun and interesting, keep it up! 👍🏻
This is the best video on roller construction I've ever seen. Your video production is getting amazing. I'm involved in a trail building club and have had a hard time finding good videos on trail construction. Thank you for your educational and inspiring videos.
Thanks man! If you want to get super detailed check out the book Welcome to Pump Track Nation by Lee Like Bikes. Its incredible and its where I got a lot of the info on rollers from.
Jeremy Ricks... and I was thinking why go to all that work for a temporary structure (wood just does not last) when he could use the skid steer and whip up a series of rollers in the time it takes for one glue-up?
Hello, i want to really thank you for this great video ! REcently, I was questionning myself how to build such a roller, you gave me the response ! You Rock man ! Continue this great work like that, it's very pleasant to see all your videos and musics is great to hear too. Bye
You should consider using these rollers on an elevated wood section. Since you can’t do that with dirt and most people can’t build wooden rollers it would make for a pretty unique feature.
You beat me to it. I've been thinking of something similar with some extra plywood I have. Mine wouldn't have come out as nearly as nice though. Great stuff. Maybe make the next roller a little bigger. Great stuff. You're skills are growing and it's great to watch it happen week to week.
Curved Glue-lam cedar beams trimmed with a hand-plane. Is this a Fine Woodworking vid? LOL! I love the color of the cedar planks. Nice work. The roller ratio explanation was also super helpful.
You always make videos at the perfect time! At our local jumps we’re making rollers and that explanation about ratios really helped! Keep up the great work man 🤘🤘
Love your videos! We are building rollers in our yard using your advice of 6.5 ft radius. How far apart should we put the rollers? Since the radius is fixed, won't the distance apart determine the height? In other words, if you spread two of the lower circles (in your video) apart, the circle above them will drop down, making the distance between the crest and trough larger.
Dude, great job! I’ve been building a very similar thing this month. Used the LeeLikesBikes pumptrack book like you did, but it didn’t have any info on building them out of wood. I have been using 5.5 foot 2x4’s and cutting a curve in them to create the 1:1 ratio curve. But your method looks cheaper and much more precise. Really well done. How wide is this? I would like to avoid putting more posts in the ground if possible and yours look nice and stable. Cheers and thanks again!
You can also twist wood. There's a company in Idaho that has developed a technique for twisting a stack of nine wood planks up to three degrees per foot of length with no loss in structural integrity.
This roller is pretty underwhelming to watch, but seems very well Built, and i look forward to Seeing the entire pump truck as a whole! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
I've been using a sine wave formula instead of a circular radius. Im not sure which one is faster or flows better. A mellow roller would be y=.5cos(.2pi x)+.5
Any way you could go into detail on the measurement process you did before using the travel points? I get that it's two radiuses, but I see you making a couple of measurements on the plywood. And how do you know how far away from the plywood to place the center of the "circle?" Thinking of trying this soon. :) That's the only part I'm not confident about. Also, could you specify how many a "buttload" of slits is? I never understood the metric system. lol
Hi! Csn you by with 10€ a gopro mouth mount! I have one and it is awesome. You can have it in your mouth when you build and ride! It looks so good! I hope you will se this and maybe by one! If you use the full face look at skills with fill hi has a epic video of how to put a gopro to you full face front thing!

Super solid!! I also just used the song you had going when you started cutting in one of my upcoming videos 🤫
👀.. we are waiting....massive kudos to both of y'all!!
love ur vids man
Welp, the wood bending was insanely satisfying.

Probably my favorite mtb channel! Good to see a fellow Missourian building what our parks can’t!
You editing has come a long way. Great vid man!
Thanks, Mason!
Thanks for the high quality edit. Your videos, storylines, and edits keep getting better.
So much time and effort into something like this. It's so awesome! Living the dream
Hey dude, get, or make, a stand for that table saw and an out feed roller. It'll change your life. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video, i really liked how you explained the different ratios of crests to troughs!
Dude. Your really putting in the work! Lets see you put all of these builds together and ride the entire trail! Love what you do. Inspiring to so many.

The quality of this video is amazing. Great video clips, sound, graphics, educational. You got this RUclips thing down!
She must go to some festivals with skills like that!
I wanna see the whole pump track finished. Well whatever you want, I love your content!
Well this just made my morning :) !

That wood bend is so satisfying! Killer video again Seth.
This is very pleasing to the eye, Seth. I love the idea of a roller made this way. What type of Elmer's glue did you use?
Haha that would be titebond 3!
@@BackyardTrailBuilds yew!
So good man. I am really impressed by your animations and overall quality.

Nice work! Love the look of the cedar. That loop is going to look awesome when its finished!
Woa great build! I’m really thinking about buying my first jigsaw and start building stuff, your videos inspire me a lot.
Thanks man! Do it! Building is the greatest!

Dude my back hurts just watching you rip those boards with that table saw on the floor! Awesome build man!
I came very close to making/buying a stand for it during this build hahaha
you need to get or make a stand for table saw , my back hurt just watching the build. good job on it
I'm looking forward for the next Pumptrack build video!
You always make videos at the perfect time! At our local jumps we’re making rollers and that explanation about ratios really helped! Keep up the great work man 🤘🤘
No problem my dude!! Glad to help!
Really cool build and very informative video!! Can also tell you’re getting better and better on that bike!
Nice work man! Love the craftsmen ship!
Great video this looks like so much work and editing
Nice build, I vote add to the pump track for next week.
Oh man, a kicker with this building technique would be beautiful
Alright! This is awesome. Spill the beans. Where did you get the information and the foundational principles? Super cool video. Thanks!
I was asking my self the same, I would like to know as well .
That roller was lit !
That build was so cool man! Really enjoyed that one 👍🏻

Nice work on the laminated stringers.
Nice! My wife was into fire dancing when we started dating. Im so envious of your cedar supply too. Keep up the good work!
Really cool idea. Looks like I need to buy a few more clamps.
this is super cool and beautiful but the best part was seeing Dana fire hoop. that is sick. getting my wife one now
Fire hoopage on point!
🔥🔥🤘
THANK YOU!!!
you should build a manuel machine i think it would make a great video
great video, you are a source of inspiration. I have a question: what height is the ridge?
Dope build dude
You're videos are awesome, you need a way higher sub count!
Add to this. This is pretty cool, basic, and something I think I could even do.
Absolutely awesome 😎
Nice Work

The Lee likes bikes formulas work really well
it looks a lot easier to build a pumptrack on video :) keep up the good work
Pretty cool you make some of the best detailed videos.
Thanks man! I try!
What edit software do you use. I'm trying a lot. And I not great with some of them I need something easy
@@Wannaridebikes I use Logic Pro X, but you could get away with iMovie too
Backyard Trail Builds I tried iMovie did not understand it. How to add clips together. I will check out that logic x.
Brilliant video
Easily my favourite builder after Seth of course hehe :)
You can also twist wood. There's a company in Idaho that has developed a technique for twisting a stack of nine wood planks up to three degrees per foot of length with no loss in structural integrity.
+1 for using a planer to clean up the sides.
That looks awesome. I’m going to steal the idea and build a small rolling bridge on my trail. I just need to find a way to support it. #thinkinghaton
Nice
How thick is the ply you are using and is it bendable or regular ply cut along the grain.
Awesome channel.
Luv ya work man!
Are you using 1X6" for the planks that run on top or???
I love your work seth!
Thanks for watching all my stuff... you truly are the Kombucha King! I bet your microbiome is incredible!
@@BackyardTrailBuilds it is incredible, like your videos.
Get a room you 2
@@evltwin984 lol
Good vid bro maybe a training vid on manualing your choice
Another brilliant idea u should call it the roller ramp
I’ve never subscribed so fast.
Yeaaaaa!
This roller is pretty underwhelming to watch, but seems very well
Built, and i look forward to
Seeing the entire pump truck as a whole! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Omg you are a genius
Another great vid. Whats that song arond minute 4? Shazam doesnt recognize it
the dogs are having fun at 6:01 xD
This was awsome
More trails!!!
Super good 😀
Woah heck yeah moar fire hooping!
My girlfriend spins as well and couldn't look away
Thats my aim. I have a small yard but I really wan tto build a pump track in it. Theres enough room to make it quite long.
Hi i want too...please update me if You start to built it,give me scalings and advices!
The video arrived 😁😍😁
Love it🔥
I've been using a sine wave formula instead of a circular radius. Im not sure which one is faster or flows better. A mellow roller would be y=.5cos(.2pi x)+.5
Sweet video. Subbed.
Nice work! Is there a book or website that you got the ratios from?
Nice wooden job
please more of the pumptrack

The ramp you had ad the end was that from seths bike hacks?
They use this on the fancy feast bridge at highland
How many strips and how thick were the strips you used for each section? Looked like 9 per section, from just a 2x4?
Next time put the small repeat cut between the blade and the fence
Build more on to this!!!
Shit, the fire spinning was supposed to set me apart from the other MTB youtubes. 👍
Cleaver nice vid!
More pump track please
