- For our next home improvement project, we’re back on Thumb Bucket trail! After the wallride, we needed a way to get around some big trees, so we built a mountain bike bridge. Also in this video, rock work, singletrack, and some action!

I just want to point out that Joe's manual out of the wallride was low key nuts. Shifting your weight and manualing out of a transition like that is super awkward. 10/10
What about Kevin's no footer off the wallride D:
TBF it looked like an attempted crank flip.
But it looked SO GOOOOD!
WELL YEAH!!! ESPECIALLY HIS STOPPIE ACROSS THE BRIDGE
I was going to say something about that!! Very technical skill
Yeah, that was super impressive. I stopped and rewatched that clip three times. I'm glad you commented on it!
Safety bridge? Nothing is safe when Seth starts riding it 😂
I love how a bridge to collect your thoughts and calm down has a gap jump entry. LOL.
It's a pretty small gap jump considering the rest of the trail
The jump isnt the problems it's a sharp turn for the speed on wood. Imagine in the wet🤮
@@somerandomguywastaken can't say I didn't expect that crash at the end.
@@matts882 looked like a broken neck waiting to happen
Ok let’s do some math real quick… gap jump + wood bridge + bend + wet = pain
When Seth was like "hey Kevin we're building a safety bridge today", Kevin was probably like "right... a sAfeTy BriDgE" 😂
Well that’s a blast from the past! I haven’t seen your content in years! I totaly forgot about all the spin tires content
I just wish he would ditch the awful noise he puts in these damned videos.
@@tarstarkusz ??
I had no idea you would be here! I love all your Snowrunner videos man :)
im watching ur live stream right now!!
never new u were into mtb-ing
Seth: "it's going to be safe"
Me: "am I watching the right channel?"
Also Seth: wipes out on the "Safe" feature
Me: "yep, right channel."
Well that sums up Seth's bike hacks
lmao yeah but i think the Safety bridge was a good idea
He also proceeded to do the roblox "oof" unintentionally
I was kinda expecting him to do some crazy berm bridge. Sounds like something Seth would do but no, instead he ops for the flat bridge and wipes out
Slip & Slide. Everyone else would think about it before
The next episode of Thumb Bucket is the FINAL SECTION of trail before we have it all linked up! I’m hoping for a minute and a half of downhill from top to bottom.
Best backyard in America!
THis is a great series Seth everyone have a good day
Can you do another bike hacks video? :D
Can't wait
@@gighabiter9323 ya
Seth: **has two fairly major wipeouts/otbs**
Seth: "This section is purposely low octane"
Me during building phase: "flat bridge on relatively high speed corner doesn't sound good. That is asking to have slide out"
Me after the first test runs: "looks like it has surprisingly good grip, maybe they are fine"
Me after Seth testing: "yeah... Well one day he will learn :D"
Who are we kidding...we never learn. LOL
beat me to it. my exact thought process ;-)
My thoughts as well! I was expecting a crash on the first run, but was a bit wrong.
Can be fixed with chicken wire or groove channels in the wood for extra traction.
Some grip tape would be an easy solution
Yea I had the same thought "Why didn't they angle that bridge a bit more like a berm for traction" =D Mfw
holy shit! that wreck was intense!
This man know what he's talking about. He had a few of those!
Bobo! What's up?
@@pauljr4706 lol, yes... i'm an expert at that
yo insane tooo
As soon as you started building the bridge I was thinking it should be slightly banked like a berm because of the speed you're carrying, you sliding out confirmed it 😂. Absolutely awesome Seth love your videos man.
Yeah I was thinking it should be slightly banked too.
Then Seth shows us why. 😉
totally agree
One of my favorite parts about this channel is being able to watch it evolve from, berm creek with just a few trails to basically a full operation building all these amazing trails, and we can’t forget about berm park. So much amazing stuff, and I just love it!
I feel the same way!
Before I found this channel I had nothing on my life just work home work repeat but now I’ve found a hobby that I really like so thank you so much
RUclips's first ever "Safety Bridge of Death"
I know right lol😂
Hi Setth. Short question. So from a nearly vertical wall ride, it transitions into a completly flat bridge. Why wouldn't the bridge have at least a little bit of angle? It would still be 'easy' but be a lot safer. Probably you wouldn't crash if it was angled. Anyways. What do I know.... Great video and great work!
It was mostly a consequence of poor planning, but once the trail dries out and hardens mud shouldn’t be an issue
I think an inward bank could be easily added by installing shims under the outside end of the oak planks.
@@SethsBikeHacks I would consider putting small grooves in the surface of the wood to give yourself more leeway for hard shreds. Love the vids keep it up 👍🏼
And when it rains..? 😲
I was thinking the same thing! Glad to hear there was a plan lol
Great Builds! Nice to see you roar back after your injury!
4:42
Seth: After that it’ll be vanilla single track
Also Seth: there’ll be a few options over here
I love your respectful approach towards the surrounding nature throughout the whole project. While this has always been apparent for all these years, this video really shows that mindset.
As I watched the bridge being built, I knew someone was going to slip on it eventually. Happened sooner than I thought, and didn't look fun! I think you need a bit more of a bank for that curve, else it'll probably keep happening.
Hey Seth and Co. Could you guys have kevin talk about what he has learned when it comes to trail building? Maybe some techniques for using hand tools? I've learned a bit about using my Rogue Hoe tools properly/more efficiently but there is definitely more to learn.
that would be a great idea! nice thinking
Am I the only one waiting for Kevin to tail bump on the tiny stump jump … that with the manual would be a sick combo🤟keep it up Seth!
I was waiting for a nose bonk
It's always a great day when a new Berm Peak Construction update is in my sub-box
Dang I’m here early
Same i guese
That last whip out was nuts from the incoming angle. Thought you snapped your head right into a ditch or hole.
Nice new feature, loving the rock ramp leading over the stumps.
I love it "low octane"- manuals, nose bonks, all sorts of steeze and a big crash to finish off...classic Seth!!
Building a flat bridge on a fast line?! What was seth thinking? Of course someone would slide out!!!
That crash looked brutal. Take care Seth!
Not a trail builder but I've ridden wood features in the PNW that are covered with chicken wire (stapled/nailed to the wood planks) to improve slick conditions, rain, wet mud etc..
As soon as I saw the finished bridge I knew there was going to be a slip out. Need some more camber on that thing. Maybe build a lip on the outside edge?
Love your content and how you use the nature around you, been watching for a long time. Keep making this awesome ever evolving content!
After seeing the new leaf blower, I want to see a “tool review” of the best and worst tools you have for trail building. Great video
a classic trick from my local trails is covering wooden features prone to slipping with chicken wire in the middle for extra traction
Big fort William vibes from this and I love it
Seth on the Whaletail/Kevin jump/Drama drop: Not even a sweat
Also Seth on the "Safety bridge": Crashes 2 times
It never ceases to amaze me how interesting your builds manage to be, especially considering how many you have done! Great Job!
exactly!
its amazing to see you go from the little berm creek to this
he has the best single track ever!! great channel!!
Love his videos, Seth is such a inspiration to me!
I feel the same way!
How do you have so much confidence on the wood? I always feel like there’s going to be no traction on it, especially if it’s wet… does anyone ever put grip tape on wood features?….
Edit; So after watching for a little while it looks as if there’s not so much traction on the wood 🤣
Roof shingles work best
Yeah haha, I wouldn't aspire to have his confidence on wood traction, gets him into a lot of trouble.
Seth, i must say the drone shots of the trail are some of the coolest in the videos in my opinion. Really like seeing everything from above as it gives a good representation of what there is, and the size of your property.
Why is it always the simple jumps and tricks that seem to catch Seth off guard all the time?
Hello hope this is a helpful tip :) use chicken nets on the wood for more grip we use this in sweden .
As hard as I cringed watching Seth ragdoll himself, I love seeing him back to his sendy-self. Keep on rocking brother!
That was a sick frontflip, seth
Love the "Stump-Jumper" at the end of the trail!!

Seth, slow down. Someone has to create watchable youtube content. Don't get hurt again.
Just an idea… maybe if you made a wall/bank of 30 degree angle or something towards the right side of the bridge where you turn to bank yourself a bit so your bike would be able to sit more perpendicular to the bridge surface decreasing the risk of sliding out. It could sit far to the right so it is optional but can be used to carry speed more safely. Could be a simple solution but it is just an idea. Great video Seth 🤟
THE STEAZE! Those manuals / endos were amazing.
Me: sees the title and thinks my eyes are lying. also me: remembers nothing Seth builds is totally safe lol. He is the king of sketchy
Why on earth didn't you bank this bridge? Would've taken no more work and would've gotten far better results. 8:37 just proves this so nicely.
Kevin is a beast with building. Hope he puts out some more videos on his channel. Such awesome features and a great video. Mad respect for all the crazy sends on a nearly flat bridge. Keep on killing it guys🤘🏻
Love the work! Keep it up like that!!
I can imagine how terrifying the bridge will be if it rained
First
get yourself a cookie
No one cares
2 or 3 degrees of incline on the bridge and it's perfect. No more loss of traction.
Thanks for the video
This looks amazingly safe!
First!!
Damn u beat me by one secomd
@@declan_james1529 yeaaah!!
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin while Edward Morris is till there for them to start investing.
We need a Kevin appreciation video ASAP
With the little kicker after the bridge, you've created... literally... a Stumpjumper!! Step aside, Specialized; Seth can handle it from here.
I need to build some bigger features in the yard in 2022! Thanks for the motivation. Sending the crap out of that!
I cannot wait for the next episode. Moving the dirt placing stones and sawing wood. Watching it all get out together is so damn satisfying!! You should create a flow section through the woods 🤙🏻🔥 you guys are doing a great job!
another awesome video! You’ve given me so much inspiration to build features in my backyard!
I was just waiting for you guys to nose-bonk that stump after the little bridge jump! Awesome video and nice addition to the trail 🤙
Highly respect the hared work and attention to detail here.
Love that your builds don't look like Nasa designed them! Bridge needs more bank, so just unscrew the outer band, loosen the screws on the inner band, and sister along side the out band with a higher band and screw it back down. Or add chicken wire, but that stuff is like a cheese grater and I hate it! Great video!! Kevin is a dirt moving beast!
It's about time! Iv been waiting for an update! Love your work!
Love your riding style Seth…one speed for everything 🙀👏👍🏻
Seth, let me start off by saying how awesome it is that you have a property that you can even consider establishing trails/features on. Love seeing you putting in the work and literally getting beat up to get it just right. Loving the Berm Peak Build Projects! Keep up the great work! Derek
Chicken wire bridge turn! LOL Who's ever ate it off a wet bridge! Ouch daddy that hurts! Enjoying the channel brotha!
this looks amazing! i really love the wooden features you guys are building
Awesome build
8:36 I was just waiting for that to happen.
Love from Philippines 🇵🇭
That was gnarly!!!
All looks so nice great job man
Living out my child hood dream of building trails in the yard
Love how Seth pushes his own limits and shows legit crashes in the vids. Man has courage! An inspiration for us middle age dad bod riders. I see why his channel is so successful. Thanks! R
I love your videos Seth, you inspired me to begin mountain biking!
Hey Seth, what about making a small berm on the bridge out of the little pieces of scrap wood you have left? Just angle em up at like a 50-60 degree angle along the riders right of the bridge. You would be able to get your tires in there and use it as a rut to complete that sketchy turn on the bridge at higher speeds.
Been waiting sooo long for the next build but was well worth it trail is looking sick if me and the fam ever get to the states would love to ride your trails big respect from England
just finished my first semester of college. I have been watching you since 8th grade. Crazy to see a dude with bikes in his outdoor closet in florida building full on trails in my home state. keep it up! i’ll always be a fan even when i’m not riding my bike all that much
Can't wait to get there. I'm making my first camping trip of 2022 here.
Its nice work! Amazing!
Dang fun footage!
Great to see you really looking comfortable and free on the bike again Seth.
My gut went hollow when you slid out on the bridge. I felt that whole wreck in my bones.
From the first shot of the bridge, I thought "that's a wash-out waiting to happen" lol
Glad you weren't hurt.
It locks really good and when you fell off the bridge you looked like a doll
Love u Seth ur legendary!!! Lol the sound when u hit the floor! Reminds me of myself don't care if u and old friend told me if u dont grow up by time ur 40 then u do t have too!
That bridge looks like it would be super sketch with any moisture on it. Especially where you’re landing and planting on it as it turns. Good luck!
And I typed this before I saw the crash!!!!! 🤣
Adding Joe to the crew was the best idea ever
Love it ! Thanks for making my day better
That bridge seems like it's going to be slick as hell once it rains a couple of times. If muddy tires is all it takes to slip like that, I can't imagine what a tiny bit of rain and moss build up might do.
Think it should have had a slight angle so you don't slide off the edge?
Dang Seth, I’m sore after watching that wipeout!!! Trail looks like a lot of fun.
You should add a drop of the right side of the bridge in to the steep stuff and connect it to thumb bucket or something
Way to keep it chill seth
Dang. Glad to see you alright after that slide into home on the bridge. Dang son!
Very awesome once again great video as always! 😁😁
that nose manual over the bridge was perfect! I was hoping to see a nose bonk one the tree stump on the new rock jump.
