Sculpting A 20-foot Lizard To Jump On A Mountain Bike!

  • In this video, I build and shape a huge lizard-shaped mountain bike jump landing, completely out of mud. This is the coolest landing I've ever done. The ramp that goes with it was built entirely with hand tools and wood dowels, not screws and nails. The wood was cut from a tree. This means it's green and will shrink, at which point it'll grip the dowels and secure the ramp.

    How is Seth not at a million subscribers already? WAKE UP mountain biking community! Echoing what others said too, the uniqueness of this type of trail building, the interactive component, the use of hand tools with explanations,(which alone is fascinating even to non-MTBers I would think) is not something found anywhere else. Not to mention the relaxing effect of the editing with time lapse and great tunes. I'm just baffled how this channel has not soared in subscriber count. I truly hope that changes and that regardless of what happens Seth has the ability to continue providing us this stellar content. Amazing stuff.

    I think the animal theme is a great idea! I would just intermix them with 'regular' features. So maybe a normal feature next, then the turtle top after, then another regular feature followed by - I don't know - badger berms, rhino rolls, pelican pumps, whatever alliteration works best I suppose. Love your stuff man!
