Creekback (or creakback, if the feature creaks when a rider is on it) came to mind first for me. Well, now we know where the rest of creature is that goes with Huckfin at Stone Starlet.
Such a good video (as always) Eric - those gaps looked gnarly and I have so much respect for making it rideable for all ! For a name - my vote is call it the "Bridgeback Whale"!
Humphrey! This was a humpback whale that swam up the Sacramento River in Northern California, a few hours from Graeagle, not once but twice, in 1985 and 1990. He got lost and swam almost 70 miles upstream in a freshwater river! The media named him "Humphrey the Wayward Whale."
The feature looks a lot like the slope of a Beluga. So, I would name it "The Blasting Belgua" because it launches the rider out with such force. Love the vids recently!!! Keep them coming 🤟
That closing shot was amazing. Can't wait to see the trails at Everstoke all come together. Those bridges definitely opened it up to be used as an advancement feature as opposed to only advanced riders which IMO was a great decision.
@@BCpov Yes, you've come a long way from pure POV, LOL! You might have to change the channel name from BCpov to WWpev for World Wide professionally edited videos!
Name it "Monstro", after the whale that ate Pinocchio. On a side note, I ended up with the exact same scenario. I built a whale tale, and then had to add some tables before we could try it out. I made a video of us trying out that whole trail for the first time too. Love capturing that excitement and anxiety that comes with riding something not just for our first time, but the first time anyone has ridden untested features. Because at that point, you really don't even know it its possible.
I just want to say how much I've appreciated your cinematic approach to making videos over the past year. Your pacing, techniques, and editing have become such a strong focus of your videos. As a current game developer, it's really cool seeing your approach to creative decisions for your channel. Love it man, keep it up! Y'all are doing something incredible.
@@BCpov I know that everybody in RUclips comments acts like they're an expert on making RUclips videos, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I've a lot of RUclipsrs say that upload frequency plays a huge part in how the algorithm handles your uploads. Maybe a mix of more cinematic videos and "basic" riding videos would be a decent approach? Also, although it might be cringe, asking viewers to rate the video might really push engagement. The name suggestion-thing is a great idea already though! Anyway, I couldn't agree with Max more, your videos are amazing and always make my day a little sweeter.
It probably would have been easier and more secure to just use a drill with long screws the same size as the nails you were trying to use. But I respect you for trying to do it the more "analog" way. Great job
I love that you decided to put the bridges in. I wish more people would say "no, thats to scary, specialy for less experienced riders. Let's make it a table top." My fear of the gap is much worth than the jump...
In the past you said you would release less videos, but improve the quality. Nailed it. The the detail in the video is A grade. As for adding the bridges, prefect. you to took a trail that we (me and little one could ride) Added a feature that is 'almost anyone can ride' , like the first bit of trail, and yet made a it a huge progression and confidence building feature. something I'd want to ride. great stuff
Hey Dude this whale tail is sick i have never seen one with "bridges" now i really want to find one or maybe even build. Always loved the idea of whale tails but would never have the courage to jump a normal one so this is perfect👌👌👌👌
Simple, name it Blue Namu. I think it could be rated as a blue feature since it can be rolled, and it's a reference to a type of whale. Namu for Namu the killer whale, the first captive trick performing whale. I would say it would be an appropriate name as your whale tail is one of a kind.
Hey Eric, love your videos. A name suggestion for the whale tail is “Big Bluey”. I think this is a good name because there are blue whales and down here in Australia when you swear a bit we call it ‘blue’ words. You might have sworn a bit building it and people riding it might swear because it’s gnarly!
I, for one, am stoked you put in those bridges! Looks amazing, too! I definitely was skeptical before the bridges, as it was shaping up to be more challenging than I could handle. But I think making it so any and all skill levels can experience it was the right call in this case, and you did it SUPER well! 🤘
The biggest feature you've ever built!? Think an appt name would be 'Jonah' 🤘 Why appt?? Jonah & the Whale (obviously) 😜 Also, there was a Rugby player named Jonah Lomu (RIP) who was one of the biggest, fastest rugby players on the planet... Rather fitting 👌
What a beautiful video and masterful work, Eric. You put your heart and soul in everything you build. You are right, the feature is more complete with the bridges on. Name wise, keeping it simple might be the way to go : Humpback tail.
great job on the whale tail, it looks incredible. gotta say you already gave it a name by sayings its the size of a humpback whale, my name has got to be "Moby humpback" or "Mighty humpback"
When you first started building Stone Starlet, I wasn't the biggest fan, but since then I've grown to love your trail-building videos, possibly even more than your biking ones! Your skill, craftsmanship, and attention to detail is fantastic and very entertaining to watch. Looking forward to seeing you continue to hone in your skills!
Hye from france. I love the way you describe feelings when riding. That's real empathy. thanks a lot for all your videos that are, ok I'll say it :-D :-D... inspiring well I'm sure everyone found this name already, as I didn't read comments, but Moby dick :-D seems to be natural. No ? Oh yeaaaaaaaah !!!! MOBY TRICK is soooo cool :-D
Awesome video bro! What about ... "Fin to Fluke".... I'm a massive fan of your down to earth persona and killer skills! You guys inspire me to be a better rider!!! Cheers from Aus!
It's a little hard for me to watch these videos with people constantly fighting that ROCON. Brian should just buy a 4-wheeler...something like a used Honda Foreman that's reliable and a workhorse. SO much easier to deal with, and it's not going to damage anything if you're careful about things. OK...back to the video.
Huckback Whale 🐳
This has got to be the winner! I've run it past both Brian and Aaron and they're on board! Thanks for the suggestion Peter!
@@BCpov Glad I could help! Keep up the good work and be safe out there
@Peter Dy Sweet name dude congrats 👍👊
Creekback (or creakback, if the feature creaks when a rider is on it) came to mind first for me. Well, now we know where the rest of creature is that goes with Huckfin at Stone Starlet.

Thanks Josh, and I like the name🙂
Love the name
dang i was about to suggest that name
I think “Moby Dig” would be a great name. It sure took a lot of digging to create, and it’s always good to reference classic literature!
You have my vote
Top tier
Ha! My first thought was “Moby Deck”
Oh yeah, that's perfect!
A little obvious but I like it.
Humphrey! This was a humpback whale that swam up the Sacramento River in Northern California, a few hours from Graeagle, not once but twice, in 1985 and 1990. He got lost and swam almost 70 miles upstream in a freshwater river! The media named him "Humphrey the Wayward Whale."
second this one
That is a winner!!!
I was going to suggest the same one! Locals will know the story.
@@nwahs yeah I remember that very clearly because we used to waterski in that river.
@@ericmonty me too, as a kid! Kinda nasty water, now that I know better.
If its size really is somewhat fitting I'd name it "Whale for scale" 🐋
Love your building episodes btw!
Everstoke… such a good name for a bike park!🤙🏻
It really is!
The feature looks a lot like the slope of a Beluga. So, I would name it "The Blasting Belgua" because it launches the rider out with such force. Love the vids recently!!! Keep them coming 🤟
That closing shot was amazing.
Can't wait to see the trails at Everstoke all come together. Those bridges definitely opened it up to be used as an advancement feature as opposed to only advanced riders which IMO was a great decision.
My suggestion for the name is somewhat difficult to pronounce - DUANFAWT - it stands for 'Don't use Amazon Nails for a Whale Tail.' Loved the video!
I think that’s a GREAT idea
this is stupid
Okay this one is epic.
pronounced Doo-on-fot
the story telling combined with the drone shots is insane. good job!
Glad you liked it!!
Yes, these videos are extremely well produced!
@@BCpov Yes, you've come a long way from pure POV, LOL! You might have to change the channel name from BCpov to WWpev for World Wide professionally edited videos!
The sound design from camera shake to actual Rokon idling is editing mastery. You always keep it fresh and entertaining, Eric. I'm never let down!
Thanks Rich :)
“Moby Whip” An obvious play off of Moby Dick and Whipping on a MTB.
Name it "Monstro", after the whale that ate Pinocchio.
On a side note, I ended up with the exact same scenario. I built a whale tale, and then had to add some tables before we could try it out. I made a video of us trying out that whole trail for the first time too.

Oh, I like this! The whale that ate the wooden boy....made from wood!
Can’t get over how well made your videos are. I always look forward to watching them. Nice work on the feature! How about Moby Deck?
That's a fantastic name.
Were you an arborist at one point in your life Eric? That tree you cut down wow, looked professional! Love your build episodes! Thanks for sharing!
Haha, defnitely not! If you know what to look for, I messed up that undercut pretty badly! It's a tricky cut!
Na he's just Canadian
@@BCpov yeah searingly

Thanks for noticing Max, trying hard here! Unfortunately it hasn't been translating in to views in 2022 :(
I agree. The fotage of the first snow was breathtaking

You're so honest in your editing and show what can happen and how you overcome it, call it 'Fortitude' 👍
I love that you decided to put the bridges in. I wish more people would say "no, thats to scary, specialy for less experienced riders. Let's make it a table top." My fear of the gap is much worth than the jump...
I call the bridges "chicken bridge" on my trail. And sometimes they are removable which really helps for progression.
Great vid. I'm going to put "Blubber Bridge" into the mix.
Moby's Trick and great rethink on your feature to make it hittable by all 😎
“A Tall Tale”, “Jumpback”, or “WTF”(Whale Tail Feature).
Awesome video BTW!
In the past you said you would release less videos, but improve the quality. Nailed it. The the detail in the video is A grade.
As for adding the bridges, prefect. you to took a trail that we (me and little one could ride) Added a feature that is 'almost anyone can ride' , like the first bit of trail, and yet made a it a huge progression and confidence building feature. something I'd want to ride. great stuff
I think you should name it the Flow Of The Whale. Modeled after the whale and should be named after the whale.
I'm seeing a female whale in my head and the bridges were a great idea so, Bridgit.
Hey Dude this whale tail is sick i have never seen one with "bridges" now i really want to find one or maybe even build. Always loved the idea of whale tails but would never have the courage to jump a normal one so this is perfect👌👌👌👌
Wow Eric what and effort, you really put in the hard work. I love how the tree's curve worked so well for the stringers.
Simple, name it Blue Namu. I think it could be rated as a blue feature since it can be rolled, and it's a reference to a type of whale. Namu for Namu the killer whale, the first captive trick performing whale. I would say it would be an appropriate name as your whale tail is one of a kind.
Can’t wait
Loved this video! It was so therapeutic to watch. I think a good name to name this would be “Free Woody”
I'm certain you found a knot in the wood at 8:45, but I'm sure the Chinesium stakes didn't help.
Hey Eric, love your videos. A name suggestion for the whale tail is “Big Bluey”. I think this is a good name because there are blue whales and down here in Australia when you swear a bit we call it ‘blue’ words. You might have sworn a bit building it and people riding it might swear because it’s gnarly!
Great name 👍 I like the Aussie part of it.
I think a good name would be Moby Dick from the novel by Herman Melville.
Great video as always. How about ‘BC’S TAIL’??
The name could be “hump back tail” becuase it’s the size of a hump back whale and it’s a whale tail
What about the the name "Humped Back Tail" because it as long a a humped back whale
Predrill the nail holes
So sick!!!
One of my favorite videos of yours in a while. The tree falling followed by that snowy campfire… love it!
Name for the whale tale:
Whaley Mac Whale Face
"Faith Tail" that's my name for it... Congrats Eric!! Very nice build
all the dead branches falling off the cedar when it hit the ground was perfect lol
Awesome video Eric, probably one of the best edited ones you have ever made!!!
This videos gonna be awesome
You should name it Home Of The Humpback 🐋
Loved the build you could name it the humpback hucker
Name it Nineveh because Jonah didn’t want to go at first!
Can’t wait to see. AZ 🤘🏽
Haha I totally thought the wale clip at the beginning was an ad 😂💀
I like the name Ningaloo named after the reef in Australia.
Great video. That feature looks so fun at the end when bridges were added 😂 hard work for a great reward. Name it Whale of a time
pre-drill with small drill and than the nail will go ez :) 8:00
"Roll The Whale" would be the good name...
I love how much falling and milling you personally did. Well done!
Predrilling can help drive larger nails in, using a smaller diameter bit than the nails.
Came home just in time from a bike ride, to watch this video
you really got me on the edge of my seat when the tree fell over
I had the same problem 😅😅
nice and intune with the music at 5:20
When shipping to my house!
I, for one, am stoked you put in those bridges! Looks amazing, too! I definitely was skeptical before the bridges, as it was shaping up to be more challenging than I could handle. But I think making it so any and all skill levels can experience it was the right call in this case, and you did it SUPER well! 🤘
Thanks for the help!
Awesome video. You should build more trails/features. “Cedar Tail” would be a good name
The biggest feature you've ever built!?
Think an appt name would be 'Jonah' 🤘
Why appt??
Jonah & the Whale (obviously) 😜
Also, there was a Rugby player named Jonah Lomu (RIP) who was one of the biggest, fastest rugby players on the planet...
Rather fitting 👌
I think Humpty Dumpty
What a beautiful video and masterful work, Eric. You put your heart and soul in everything you build. You are right, the feature is more complete with the bridges on.
Name wise, keeping it simple might be the way to go : Humpback tail.
You build some very nice features. Good job. I’m sure ever stoke will love your whale tail.
great job on the whale tail, it looks incredible.
gotta say you already gave it a name by sayings its the size of a humpback whale, my name has got to be "Moby humpback" or "Mighty humpback"
Name ideas Gnarwhale or Big Beluga
Name it "Whaler"
call humdigger
The whale Rider
beautiful video again Eric! And excellent work on that Huckback whale!
lol. You do the same thing on EVERY feature. Baaaak buk buk buk..... hahahahaha !!! Maybe Yuka can tow you in......... again. J/K
Always excited when you post a new video. That excitement doubled when it’s a trail build video. Love it
Wobbly whale
16:11
Bgm name?

Such an awesome feature .
It's now usable for everyone.
Great build video
Wobbly wale
The bridges are a really good idea, I've how that makes it a feature most folks can ride and can use to progress their skill.
Love the “BC” style of building 😎
“Hump Jump”
I'll name it....
1. Let's Cedar Whale
2. Everstoke To Cedar Whale
3. Cedar Whale Tail
Whale tail
Well back
I would call it Pinocchio. Its made of wood, its long and it’s a whale tail. Cant lie that is a nice feature created by your hands.
Dude That is SO GOOD!!
Jesus... it's just so satisfying to watch him nailing the jump perfectly...
Epic as can’t wait
Wooden whale
awesome
Such amazing cinematic quality. Love your videos. that drone shot of the endless snow was breathtaking
Hye from france. I love the way you describe feelings when riding. That's real empathy.
thanks a lot for all your videos that are, ok I'll say it :-D :-D... inspiring
well I'm sure everyone found this name already, as I didn't read comments, but Moby dick :-D seems to be natural. No ?
Oh yeaaaaaaaah !!!! MOBY TRICK is soooo cool :-D
You guys needed an impact driver and some structural screws. Much quicker and easier (although costly).
Amazing build. Thanks for taking mortals like me into consideration. 😁
Awesome video bro! What about ... "Fin to Fluke".... I'm a massive fan of your down to earth persona and killer skills! You guys inspire me to be a better rider!!! Cheers from Aus!
Call it "Willy or Won't he?" Because Free Willy and because.... will he or won't he... (be able to clear it without needing the bridges).
"The Tail Of Everstoke" is the best I can do but @JonnyDiggit is the best name I've seen😎
Awesome! That looks super fun! When you were testing it after making the bridges I was "mind jumping" it with you!
It's a little hard for me to watch these videos with people constantly fighting that ROCON. Brian should just buy a 4-wheeler...something like a used Honda Foreman that's reliable and a workhorse.
