Building faster and prettier backyard trails

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Since we first built Berm Creek it has undergone quite a few changes, but none that make it look like a normal backyard. This week we focused on making Berm Creek beautiful by adding rocks and plants. In the process, we actually made some serious improvements to the trail to make it ride better.

#mountainbiking #mtb #tinytrails
That's awesome! I hope those hydrangeas take root and get real big, one of my favorite plants.
Dude, you should start a gardening channel!
BKXC it's all about the Japanese Maple bruuuh
I'd watch, and I don't exactly garden
Hey love your channel and im in the process in saving for a mtb
BKXC they need acidic/alkaline soil
"Rocks are not my worry" *couple of months later* breaks collarbone!
Get well soon
for real lol
I thought the same thing when I originally saw him putting rocks all over everything, but to his point rocks are everywhere on natural trails.
hilarious watching old videos
2:10 rocks are the least of my worrys, breaks collarbone
I looks like a park now very good
Jump over that little flower garden you made...
Actually, it would be cool to make a north shore arch over it, linking the 2 berms together. If you decorated it with some hanging plants underneath it would look pretty nice.
That north shore arch is such a good idea it would add more to a great addition
Hey Seth, take this from a "landscaping expert", instead of walking down forward you can walk down backwards with a wheel bearing front of you it would make it a lot easier for going down the hill with the wheelbarrow, this is what I do by Steep Jobs and it's surprisingly sturdy
Ford smith at “Steep Jobs” I thought you wrote “Steve Jobs” 😂😂
@@mtbtuber754 I read that too lol
But if he falls the rocks woud just make it more dangerous
Seth, that is amazing. I'm just so amazed that you have passion to make your berm creek trail so beautiful. You are definitely my favourite mountain biking idol. I'm only 12 and you have gotten me into mountain biking. I went to Woodend in Melbourne and there was some blue trails there. It was amazing. I just started a new hobby because of you. Keep up the great work! Love you.
Congrats on the new hobby! Stick to it! It's awesome fun and keeps you in shape!
An absolute unit. Keep at it!
Go to Listerfield or Plenty gorge. Also download Trailforks app
Thank you so much for the encouragement. Love you. Michael
Thank you for the suggestion. I try it out on a Saturday
Things that could be added to berm creek.
-Teeter Totter
-Skinnies that go high up into the air. They could go behind the first berm and high up through the trees. Kinda like the north shore skinnies.
-Dirt Jumps, finding space would he kinda hard but I'm sure you could make a a few if you got creative.
Super technical stuff- You could make a little section that is super technical. Like a really rough rock garden or something of that nature.
Obviously some of these are not all that realistic but they would be pretty cool. I really enjoy these trail building videos. Keep them coming.
Good ideas!
Yes build a high up skinny line!
check out berm peak now...many of your wishes have been fulfilled there
Seth this is truly inspirational. I am 12 years old, and I'm from Western Australia. You got me into mountain biking, and I can't stop! I love it so much and it will be a hobby for many years to come for me. I didn't know how to ride until I saw your videos, and started learning. I am now a junior BMX racer, and I have a competition next weekend. Thank you so much, Seth, I LOVE YOU!
all the best in your biking journey.. i really love the mountain bike trails at the camel farm in perth.. super fun.
Same here. Although I live in an area where fire danger is so high that in my area it's so hot and too dangerous to use gas powered tools. I just use a shovel a Collins axe and a soil rake it still works. And right I cant ride because I am super busy. Also my brakes broke after I had my last big crash and my back wheel is flat.
"Why? Because mountain biking" - Seth 2018 Best reasoning ever.
The funny Thing is huis worst fall came from a rock one of those Rocks
“rOcKs ArE tHe LeAsT oF mY cOnCeRns”
Breaks collarbone
“Bad idea”
I was finna say
I broke my collar
So I'm not a mountain biker buuut I do very much appreciate this channel iv been watching these videos a lot lately because I got hit by a truck the details don't matter but because I got hit I can't go any where because I stretched my mcl in my leg and it's been very boring so thank you for not being boring be safe out there
Get better soon
A Herb If By Sea uhhh ok
Seth's Garden Hacks
SPIN OFF CHANNEL!
Actually, a Seth's Trail Hacks could be a really cool series - like going and hanging out with trail builders and documenting it could be SWEET
Seth trail hacks would be cool
I really dig the Seth's Trail Hacks idea, whether it's a spin-off channel or a series. It's an aspect of the sport that's underdocumented. I've always been curious... How much trail can someone build, from scratch, in a week?
Agree
But really... Who could argue against french bulldog doorknobs 😀 great video!
The end count of materials could have easily gone something like :
2 hours planning
48 combined man hours hard labor
$800 materials
15 hours computer time
= One 7 minute YT video - A cautionary tale for all prospective RUclipsrs everywhere hahaha
The Singletrack Sampler WOW,
Whens the next van build cominng out I cant wait
The Singletrack Sampler that trail is geting faster and faster
The Sing
The Singletrack Sampler
You could run those fast RC cars on that too and stand up on the table!
and yet could also be possible for a rc dirtbike
@@altairibn-laahad9783 is that a thing?¿?
yep they exist just search rc dirtbikes
yes but small
Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad your dreams came true
Looking mint mate. I lined my backyard track with large rocks as well and to this day they haven't caused me any grief. They help to define the trail and hold the mulch from the gardens in.
Just remember "happy wife, happy life"
that’s right!
Trail Feature idea: Build in a Hop-o-Meter somewhere on the trail system? Some nice posts and a painted dowel with a loop to hang it when not in use.
Thats actually a pretty good idea :D
Such a sweet backyard trail. Thanks to Mrs. Seth for being so understanding. Also love the way you and Alex help each other out. Very cool.
Ever have neighbors or neighborhood kids just send it in your backyard?
Drama takes care of that
what
Hah , had a good laugh there Seth!!!
Looks awesome!
Seth's Bike Hacks lol
2:00 and fast forward to November 2018
1:57 then breaks collar bone🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Just learned how to ride a bike at 12. I regret nothing. You have inspired me and my friend to make a trail in my woods. Don't worry, we have permission and LOTS of space. Stay awesome man!
PLEASE build a wheel barrow with disc brakes
Nick Hepler yes I really need that video I wanted to build my own , but I will wait for video
I've been in a stretcher with a mtb wheel and a disc brake. Fun until you have to pee and they won't unstrap you.
Yarbianthebarbarian what does that's have to do with building a wheel barrow w/ a break system? 😂
Do it!!!
Endurobarrol
definitely the best series so far on this channel, keep it coming, please
Over the past year you have inspired me to go mountain biking more often keep up the great work 🤙🏻
I'm floored. For 2 days work that is a huge difference. Suddenly its not just a bike path in the back yard, but something with purpose and intentionality. Great work guys!
I am 12 years old and I know how to take a bike apart and put it together. I have a 2018 Haro Flightline Plus and I Love It!!!! I have been watching your for years!!!! And I ride anything I can find! From Ditches to actual trails, I do it all!
Biking with Eddie whatever you do never give up!
How can I? My bikes give up before I do. :)
I am to I already have a trail system in a pasture by my house
Biking with Eddie
Can i ask how u do that iam impressed btw can u (as a kid) make a business out of it? Like garage work u know like fix people bikes for money(just asking ) lol and good luck keep on going and be safe.
I guess you can. I mean, I made my fiends pay when no fixed there bikes.
A wheel barrow with dis breaks! 🤣🤣 I wonder if you could ride downhill with that. . . . .
Add some table top jumps! That would take your back yard from insane to SUPER INSANE
Nolan 320 he already said he won't do that because of drainage
Anddd that's not too stealthy lol
why not a gap?
Or make the berm creek bigger!
Charlie.Watkins the overall style of Berm Creek is stealth, and that's why there was reconstruction. Although it's all up to Seth!
@sethbikehacks can you make more videos on trail building they are my favorite
Omg I’m 14 and I started watching Seths videos when I was 12 and ever since I’ve seen his inspirational projects and ideas I have completely fallen in love with almost all types of biking besides just mountain biking. Your great riding and sponsors quality bikes persuaded me to get a DiamondBack Line and it is a limitless bike with many high end features that most bikes at that price point don’t include. I now do mountain biking, and am also a BMXer. I’ve also recently began to enjoy road biking a lot. I don’t have a road or hybrid bike but would be interested in buying one soon. Literally no joke I was riding to multiple cities near me that are 10 - 15 miles away, and when my parents found out they were more confused than mad because it would take me 3 hrs to ride 12 miles there and back while stopping at stores. But the point is, thank you Seth, you have made me a addicted, dedicated, and more skilled rider and I am so happy you make videos for everyone else who likes mountain biking etc.
I’ve recently got back into cycling, specifically trail riding. I’ve bought a Trek Remedy 8 and I’m falling in love with it again. Your channel was partially responsible for this - keep up the good work!
PLEASE build a super awesome wheelbarrow with disk brakes and a mountain bike tire. That would be sick!
Josh T. Na a fat tire mountain bike tire
And front shocks.
Berm creek is looking gooooooodddddddd!!
Its not mountain biking. Its garden biking
Please add more to your trail. It is one of my favourite things to watch on RUclips and it is awesome
Sweet set up! Both prettier and more shreddable- win win!!!
Would majestic be the right word to describe Berm Creek?
so mafreakin’ jestic
Seth's Bike Hacks hahaha awesome!
so affordably majestic
feel like a patch of old decking thats gone kinda mouldy or whatever from rain and age would be nice with a little sprinkler to make it super slippery and have it as a little skid patch because thats always fun
I want a bigger garden!!!!!
I think that the awesome view is one of the most important reasons why we decide to ride our bikes wherever we want to. So I think that the “upgrade” you’ve made to your backyard is pretty neat, you actually feel better riding a prettier place.
That *tiller* or whatever it is called is a thing of beauty! What a machine! Now what can I use one one...
You have really got me into mountain biking! Ive watched like 50 of your videos in 2 days... maybe i should stop
PiggyBiff Same
You never just stop watching Seth's Bike Hacks, you must SLOWLY Stop watching or your body with start to melt and decompose without a certain amount of Seth's Bike Hacks
been in your place, you never stop. once you´ve all watch them, you just watch em again.
Yeah... ive watched a few more than once alright..
You should put a fire pit in somewhere where it could double as a ramp 🔥
Maybe not as a ramp but a fire pit down near the bottom berms would look really cool for night rides.
I'm thinking a jump OVER the fire pit.
This is going to sound crazy but I feel like you should use a dark stain and some clear coat on the bench and drop just to add to the cool aesthetic of the backyard.
might be cool!
Love your videos! Keep up the great work👍🏻
That would look really nice
My buddy made his Patio's wheelchair ramp into a collapsible ramp so he can use it as a wheelchair ramp or a MTB jump. It's wicked and hilarious jumping over the railing past the doorway onto a big bermed corner we sculpted. Its awesome
Thanks Seth for making entertaining yet informative videos. I have always ski'd in winter and hiked in summer. Finding your channel convinced me to give dh a go. Went to Keystone last week and instantly found something fun, challenging, and a nice change of pace to hiking. With so many "look at me vids" around it's refreshing to see content that shows the comraderie and community surrounding an activity.
Are you sponsored by Honda yet?
Like, comment, and subscribe Channel 2 He would have told us.
Will this fit in my Honda?
Idaho Nerfer Depends on what bike it is. (yes I know this meme)
@@КлиментЦонков got a question if your called Lego technic why haven't you posted Lego technic videos
@@midnightrider2456 well idk. I don't do nothing worth sharing.
The fist time I watched your vid it inspired me to try and do something with my bike
Rock garden! Just after the point you hit the ground from the drop
Might be abit too fast for a rock garden at that spot.
Me and my family have a twenty acre lot where I can build whatever I want so I am in a little bit of a different situation but still have some sick short little loops and even a little pump track, be don’t have a bit of elevation but enough to have some fun on. Keep up the good work guys
I’ve been watching you since last week and I can’t stop ! I live next to the Swiss alps (Chamonix, Champery, Verbier etc...) where I downhill every summer. Have you ever thought of travelling over to Europe to ride? I truly think downhill mountain biking down the Swiss alps would be a tick off your bucket list. Hope to see you there soon!
This was uploaded on on my bd.
Kinda like a gift for me 😉.
Thx seth
DUDE my birthday is May 2!
1 day before you
I built a hige system of ladder bridges and skinnies off the back of my porch and everyone thinks it's just an extension.
A sweet backyard trail system and a vintage French bulldog, life doesn't get much better!
just a tip: when planting anything that came in a plastic bucket, break up the roots and dirt a little bit before you stick the plant in the ground, it will grab better and take off a bit faster.
Screw homework - Seth uploaded!
Did anyone just click on this because of the thumbnail change?
Cash Allen Yep...................
Yep lol
Seth: “the rocks are gonna be fine!!”
6 months later he broke his collarbone and shoulder blade
So cool. Those trees will definitely add to the awesome factor in the future.
at the bottom section after the first berm you could build a north shore/Freeride bridge high over the garden bed as a separate line into the next berm. Great video!
Could you actually put a disc brake on the wheel barrow in a video?
Seth's mock voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Akhilesh Shivade haha yeah that voice is always a treat! "You're doing it wrong!"
:I
Adam Sandler?????
I love it
Idea: MAKE A MINI BMX INTO A MINI MTB BIKE! I think it would be cool.
It already been done
Mini rig
Milky Chocolate Seth's would be way better
That would be Really cool
ItsOnlyJake harry main doofus
That looks so awesome!!! I was thinking the same thing that people could easily think it’s a walking path! Way to go!
Wow this is really pretty!
Tremendous job guys. There is something satisfying about manual labor.
i so want a yard like that like if you agree
Micah Ziemke I do
I do and not leaving like
I'm liking the video not your comment
"Rocks are the least of my worries"
literally breaks collarbone in a future video...
Finally an update on your awesome trail!
Amazing how it has been changing! Looking pretty good 🤘
what happens if you go over the berm into the flowers? it would mess it up.
ItsO
That’s what I was thinking 🤔
If you go flying over that berm the flowers are the least of your problems
Plant some thorny flowers there, then people will think twice about falling into them :p
“I’m not worried about the rocks, I won’t get hurt” *Breaks collarbone on those same rocks*
The next time you'll rent a rototiller, drop off the front wheel when you use it, only for transport. Anyway, nice job!
You could try a fence along the bottom of the garden behind the flower bed with a stealthy bit of North shore to add an alternative line (could taper to a skinny or a ramp launching you back over the flower bed).
Wow! Looks bad azz and pretty at same time! Love it!
360° the sicknic table
Been creek should be open to the public😂😂😂
Zachary Holmes Vlogs that would be perfect, only problem is that there will be 10 cars in front of his house 24/7
Zachary Holmes Vlogs oo
1:55 6 months later though !
Great video little of landscaping and little trail time !!! Love it
After watching all of your older videos I've finally learned how to bunny hop, American style. I see you've done many many videos on this topic so I wanted to point out the eurika moment for me. I noticed your first move was to shove the bike in a forward motion very hard. Not necessarily preloading the fork suspension, but just pushing the bike forward. Before, I was lunging my body backwards into manual and then trying to complete the steps. But without that initial push forward I never had enough strength to compensate for my backwards movement. Took me a few tries to get my leg movement in sync with the bike but I was able to do small hops by pushing the bike forward. Thanks for all the videos.
This video is a result of Seth and his wife arguing about how ugly their back yard looks 😂😂😂
hey you can make a second channel Seth the trailmaker
Trading a weedwacker for some gardening/weed pulling gloves
No Front Brakes Idcgfbg
Great to meet you at Sea Otter! Thanks for the Sticker :-)
Just amazing... Seth's backyard bike hacks!!
Seth you need to get a decent downhill bike so you can get downhill videos 👍🏻🚵♂️
Lennon Shaw yeeeeeeessssss!!!,
Do more BMX videos please.
You're going to hit the rocks
What an accurate prediction.
Great job doing the landscaping on your yard! Looks awesome! I just got your SMEASH T and a couple sheets of your stickers in the mail! Love them both! I'll be supporting you through your store and TeeSpring! Thanks again for the videos and tips!
You guys crack me up... but this is honestly, probably the best use of a backyard ever!
Under $1000, that’s more than double the cost of my bike
Harry Trueman you must have one trash of a bike
I have a carerra Vulcan 2016 and to me it’s not the worst but I can’t afford a new one.
Hey man, I live in Squamish BC and I rode the trails around there on an old diamondback kids bike for years. As long as your bike goes and stops, just keep riding it until you can afford something new.
My first mountain bike was around that much, I had a blast on it until I needed to upgrade just Bc of harder trails
I won't be hitting the trails for ages. My bike was nicked today.
Damn, that's every mountainbiker nightmare. Hope it gets found soon and in one piece man.
Sven Vught thanks.
Best of luck finding it
Ha, nicked means scratched where I'm from. I had to read the other comments to find out you meant stolen. Otherwise I would have given you a scolding lol.
Evan Bakki thx
Add disc brake to your wheel barrel. Like if agree
Hi Seth. 25 years ago I rode my dad's old Specialized cantilver mtb. But 'yer videos inspired me again to ride. Keep on making cool vids. As always!
Seth: Rocks are the least of my worries
Also Seth: *breaks his collar bone on those same rocks*
I have to say i have never MB but i am sick so i was watching youtube and found your channel i have watch it all day! Love it! you got one new subscriber
It's really starting to look beautiful!
That’s awesome man! I hope I can come visit someday and try your backyard trail. From Switzerland 🇨🇭 more power Seth.😎😁
Thats awesome and you put it in your backyard even more awesome
I love this series please keep it up and keep adding things to berm creek
Cool project. Great job, glad the wrist is healed can’t wait for this summer’s vidz.
