- Berm Park is a free public bike park we began raising money for back in 2018. The project was spearheaded by viewers of this channel on Patreon, who raised well over 100k. The rest of the money came from sponsors who paid for entire trails.

Thanks to everyone who helped build Berm Park, and thanks to everyone who has visited thus far. You make us look good!
Whatsupp seth
I'm in Kenya so I can't come
Seth thank you for being such an inspiration to the community! You've inspired me and countless others to fully embrace this sport. I'm sure this park will inspire thousands more in your community and they have you to thank!
thank you seth!!!!!!
Can’t wait to hit it up one day!
Super inspiring, Seth! Can't wait to come out and ride one day.
mahalo
Mahalo dudes
Mahalo!
Mahalo my dude !
Mahalo!
Where Were You Dudes at Berm Park's Grand Opening Weekend?
I can imagine Seth still running the park when he's 80, teaching kids how to adjust their derailleur and being a local treasure
Nah. When he’s 80, you know what Seth’s actually gonna do?
Something different…
… but kinda the same!
@@TimMaddux you definitely had me in the first half.
You’re such an inspiration to all of us Seth. Thank you for paving the way and showing the mtb community what it possible. ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly, the highlight of this video was seeing Kyle absolutely shredding again. Its great to see you back
Agreed. From a fellow Idahoan, glad you're doing well.
Great!! Now keep a stopping distance away from the bike in front of you , if they wipe-out and you crash into them , its your fault , and it’s stupid to breathe the jet-wash from the bike in front of you (so let it settle , stay back)
Agree with @CheesyPastries that seeing you guys pop up in this launch video put a smile on my face! Great job on the new park, Seth!!!
Such an awesome surprise seeing Kyle ride and shred!
We can’t wait to get back, it’s so much fun! It’s awesome to see this come together for the community!!
Your channel is definitely underated, 👍👍 to your boys progression on a bike. Your berm park vid was awesome!
@@robertwhitng6482 thanks!! That means a lot, really appreciate it!
Seth, I love what you have done. Giving Bach and being a part of the community is what makes all the difference in this awesome world.
Back
@@RealMTBAddict bach
@@noliemig nope
Of course it´s Bach. Seth gave us the famous composer and musician of the late Baroque period. What a lad!
@@MPJ.85 can confirm. Bach is correct. Who do you think was doing the live music?!
From teaching manual videos to opening a mtb park, loving it
We all start somewhere :)
Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a tiny country in the Balkan corner of Europe! Been following this channel since the old house. I know I will never physically get to Berm Park but I'm incredibly happy that it is finally opened!
Looks like an amazing project, It must be awesome to see something you worked so hard on come to fruition!
What an amazing accomplishment. Really excited about what this means for the mountain bike community. Can't wait to see more parks like this spring up all over the world thanks to Seth showing everyone that it was possible.
Congrats Seth, on you auspicious grand opening of Berm Park! You are truly a positive influence and represent the mountain biking community well. My son and I will make plans to come east and experience this amazing "mtb park that Seth built". Bob T
SO awesome to see everyone having a great time!! I love that Kyle & April were there and seeing Kyle shredding is heartwarming and badass at the same time.
Looks amazing man, hope you get the fame you deserve for this amazing park!
Just spent the last 10 minutes and 9 seconds with a huge smile on my face. Nice Job Seth! So great to see Kyle and April out there too!!!!!
Words cannot express the amount of heart and soul you put into this, Seth, and it is definitely something to be proud of. It's been an incredible journey to witness here, and we can't thank you enough for letting us all be a part of you YOUR dream. It has truly been our honor. I've always said, if you leave this earth without having made a difference in one person's life, then you truly haven't lived. You, my friend, will make a difference a thousand times over, year after year. Please, never stop, and congratulations on seeing your vision to fruition.
This is literally what dreams are made of. You turned an idea into reality. Much respect Seth! Hope to ride Berm one day.
I don't even ride but I get to live through these videos. It's awesome what you've accomplished. Keep up the great work!
@Telegram Me 🖇Bermpeaks everybody that comment can not have all won a Santa Cruz. Hope you have rectal bleeding.
Thank you so much for your inspiration of building great trails. You are the reason I now have around a half miles of trails in my backyard.
great to see Kyle with a big smile on his face, looking healthy and riding!
Yep the dude’s a miracle
Wife and I hope to be there in September! Thanks for all the hard work Seth and it was so good seeing Kyle and April out riding again.
Seth, I discovered mountain biking when your channel popped up in my recommended. I have watched every video of yours since. I love watching mountain biking and I am saving up for a mountain bike of my own so I can hit the trails. Thank you for inspiring me and many others with your great work.
I know I am late to the party. But congrats Seth, you are the man and I am so happy to follow everything you do on both channels. You have encouraged me to start Gotta Fix'em All Cycle Shop here in Centennial CO. You are seriously a mentor and a great man. I hope to meet you one day on my bucket list !
Thanks all the sponsors, and Seth!
Having followed your channel since day one and to see what you have accomplished is truly amazing. You have restored my faith in humanity, thanks Seth for bringing a smile to me and everyone else who have ever watched your videos!!!
This is probably the most wholesome video by Seth so far. I can just feel the happiness radiating from him
Seth you have definitely put a good face on mountain biking! Thank you for making this happen!!!
Seth, thank you so much for being exactly the type of inspirational guy people these days need.
I'm in Rome Georgia right now, which is only a few short hours away, and as much as I hate to say it, its probably as clost as I''ll ever be to Berm Park with my bike. I graduate from college in two uncomfortably short days, and after that I'm almost certainly moving a few states away, or totally cross country.
I know you'll probably never even see this, but I do truly want you to know that you've inspired me to take better care of myself, my bike, and my friends, as stupid as that sounds. I really hope we run into each other eventually, regardless of the situation.
An remember Seth, keep doing something Different... but kinda the same.
Your friend,
Thomas
I haven´t see you for a couple of years but I´m so glad I bump in to your channel. I feel so good for you and seeing doing bigger things the last thing I saw from you was when you bought a bigger house and you made a few trials in the backyard, now look at you a whole park, I almost tear of joy, best of wishes on your next projects.
It brought tears to my eyes to see Kyle out riding and having a blast! We love you guys! Answered prayers!
ALL of the masses of uploads from the opening was fantastic to watch. I can only imagine you were beyond cloud 9 that day and it's all very well deserved! Keep making the world a better place Seth in the best way you know how!
Tears of joy! Faith in humanity. Power of a community in one accord... What a story Mr. Seth.🙌
Seth, I know I’m just an internet person.. but I’m so proud of you man! I can’t believe how you have taken your own passion and shared it with the world, and now your passion has built a freaking mountain bike park that tons of people can use and love. You are killing it!!
You went.
"Hey I'll ride and film"
"hey I'll build a backyard trail" (and you paid for in shear pain)
"hey I'll get a new house and build a bigger trail"
"heck no, I'll build a park for everyone"
I get the feeling this is the tip of the iceberg.
Well done sir and crew, but you were the instigator.
I'm still riding my Cube hardtail 2012 model and you have a lot of credit, why it is still running ok :)
Seth, absolutely thrilled to see BP up and running. Started to follow you at the start of lockdown here in the UK and quite emotional seeing it done, what a journey eh!
Best wishes from Edinburgh, UK
So cool to see this all come full circle. From watching you in your old house with just the small backyard trail to watching you move and get bigger and better trails to having a whole bike park for the community. Definitely got to come ride one time
This is one for the history books. Radio shack technician to RUclips fame to bike park developer. This is awesome! This is giving back to the community you love. One day I hope to visit Canton and ride Berm Park. 👏🏻
Seth, this is so incredible!! Congratulations on your vision coming to fruition!!!!!
In these divisive times it is heartwarming to see such a positive, collaborative success story! Congrats and keep it up, please.
I live in Roanoke Virginia, and I am taking a ride down there this summer. Can’t wait!!!
I've been following your bike hacks channel since you had a few thousand subscribers. To see what you're doing with your following and influence now is hugely inspiring and a testament to your character. Well done Seth! Long-time fan from Australia.
I have the second-best video about berm park
Such an amazing grand opening that was! The "longest mtb train" was absolutely epic! I loved meeting you Seth, also please dont forget about my package haha. Reminder that it's a working prototype, and I will make changes should problems arise. Thanks!
I am a grown man who has never ridden a mountain bike in my life but these videos make me want to START, and ultimately fly down berm peak one day. Where do I even begin?!
I rented a top of the line Enduro bike at a bike park and almost killed myself going down a black diamond as my entry point. Would recommend 10/10.
It was a blast to finaly meet you at grand opening and well worth the trip from seattle to ride what you built out there cant wait to come back
Congrats Seth! I was thinking about a project along the lines of this, Iowa’s mountain biking scene is probably one of the worst out of all of the states. By building a park in Iowa you could introduce mountain biking to tens of thousands! In a place that doesn’t even have mountains!
@Telegram Me 🖇Bermpeaks not today Isis.
It would be really cool if there was a organization like the one Tony Hawk started for skate parks, but for bike parks. Berm Parks throughout the county! and the world!
It was a great day for mtbing and Canton! I have ridden at Berm Park 5 times since opening day! One point, in 2006 Canton, Southern Appalachian Higlands Conservancy, the Haywood County Health Dept., and Trail Dynamics partnered to build 2.5 miles of mtb trails on Canton's old watershed property, Rough Creek. My wife, riding @2.11-14 in the video wrote and managed the grant that provided funding for that project. It is awesome to see Canton and mtbing taking it to a whole new level through Seth's awesome involvement and dream!
Seth thank you for the opportunity to ride an amazing park! And Diamondback Bikes Thank you for building such a progressive trail! On the fly was my favorite!
I've been wathing the growth of your channel from the time you were still getting the hang of your first hardtail to you getting sponsored with your diamondback fullsus. Im so amazed with this. You and your channel has grown so much through the years. Happy for you Seth!
Thank you Seth!! I may be one of those who never get to ride these sweet trails but watching all your videos end to end I guess makes me someone who even in a small way contributed to you being able to do this... I am humbled by your graciousness and inspired by your "committedness". You may have given Canton an amazing set of trails, but you've given the MTB world much much more. Again, thank you!!
bro, imagine coming from life hacks to backyard berms, and now having a huge place to have fun and having many supporters to support you. Congrats Seth, You've come a long way. More power!!
Awesome stuff Seth! From just building a trail in your back yard to opening a bike park. You do so much for the mountain biking community. Fantastic job
It was awesome to be there open day all the way from Kentucky! Also really cool to make it in the video 6:02 🤘
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO, Seth Real Talk, Your a Legend And I have progressed in mountain biking ever since 2019. you also showed my how to maintain my bike thank you so much you are my HERO.
The excitement in your voice when you saw Alex was nothing short of beautiful
I don’t understand how after 2 years of watching, your videos still manage to exponentially improve with each episode
This is so wholesome man, people coming together and enjoying life. This is what the world needs more of. Congrats Seth!
It would be awesome if you put together a playlist on the back story, dealing with developing cooperation with the various agencies, donors, how the vision for the park was developed. I can see mountain bike clubs taking the videos to their own local cities, government agencies and businesses to show the value that a bike park can bring to a community. Thanks for showing us the way forward!
fantastic to see all kinds of people brought together by the humble bicycle, well done Seth and all involved
Seth you and your partners, did a hell of a job building a new mtb paradise and most importantly keeping land as wild as possible. Thanks to all involved.
Dude that sub shop down the road is about to get richhhh! I went to berm park yesterday and then the sub shop and everyone there was a mountain biker. Owner is a mensch and ships bread in from NYC. He cares so much about his shop and takes so much pride in what he does I can't wait for that place to get national recognition just like the bike park!
I was wondering when you'd make it there. I'm waiting for the video 🍻
I just put the footage on the timeline for the first two videos - one on the greens, one on the blues... The black diamond video will wait until I gather the courage to hit that cannon! Yo it's so big in person.
@@DescentAtBest yah it's huge! I've ridden all, but skipped the features mostly.
The guy is definitely a mensch, and the subs are DELISH! I had an italian sub and its honestly the best I've ever had, and I am from NY.
Same here I had the Italian and I don't ever order that, it just seemed like something he'd do well. And he came thru! I'm from NY too - we know good bread (and invite you can't get it in the South).
This is amazing!!! Greetings from México!
been watching for about three years, you inspired me to take up mountain biking, and this summer I'm coming out to ride berm park. thank you from the Mtb community for the inspiration and new riding spot!
Since I live halfway across the planet, I know i'll never get to ride it. But man, that sure does look like something i'd love to ride. Hats off to you Seth and to all who made this possible.
It's crazy what gets me emotional, but this project of yours and the way you documented/tell the story...wow...just wow....congrats man.
Absolutely legendary. I really hope this can be used in feature case studies. You're honestly doing the world of good Seth, your family must be so proud. Too many of us sit and watch others do the hard work. You've inspired me and I'm sure many others.
its great seeing people get off the internet and enjoying the great outdoors! We need more Berm Parks in this world!
I don't think I stopped smiling through the whole video. Congratulations Seth - you done us proud.
I'll be honest, I teared up watching this video. It's so impressive how far this adventure has taken you, us as viewers, and the lucky ones who now get to ride the trails that you and your friends have built for everyone to see.
While this feels like the climax to such a wonderful adventure, I know that this is yet again a new beginning, a new adventure just waiting to be carved out by shovels and machinery. I look forward to many more years of trail building, bike riding, and overall good natured and kind people.
Props to you Seth, you have really made something outstanding here, and from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for all the amazing content you have been creating, making even the most mundane house chores something incredibly fun to watch!
Keep peddlin'
I’m so happy that you’ve put this bike park in my hometown, I finally don’t have to travel far to hit the trails, thank you and thank you youtube community!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Faith in humanity doesn't need restoring, people like you and those who show up have always existed.
Congrats Seth. what an accomplishment. I have been following you since the days when you lived in Florida. Your passion, drive and humbleness are truly remarkable and inspiring. Your videos have inspired me to pick up the sport a bit later in life and now I am addicted. Thanks for all you do. Best regards.
Love seeing this Seth, thank you so much for the hard work in Canton! I have family up there and after a devastating flood they had last year, it is nice to see something positive for the community that will provide tons of joy and opportunities. I plan on making a trip soon!
Congratulations Seth! Looks amazing.
Seth, I am so proud and happy and blown away for you. The people thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this happen. Congratulations Seth and YOU are absolutely the man. I hope I can get down there someday to ride this place. Looking forward to it!
Hey Seth! We've just managed to get a pump track installed in my town in England, called Liscard, and it's brilliant! It was an idea I put forward to the council in a 'regeneration of the town' plan, as really theres not much for people to do here- Its amazing that now people have something free to do close to home, and it's thanks to projects like yours that the council would even consider it! I will definitely be putting forward more ideas, and I hope that we can get something as cool as a full bike park with features like drops, upboxes and big jumps one day, but even just for now, the help that people like you have provided for people all across the world is incredible! Thanks, and keep doing what you do!
Man what a journey from the shed in Florida. An inspiration to so many. Can't wait to get up there and ride!
Not even gonna lie I’m a brand new subscriber like 2 weeks ago new and I’m so happy to see the smiles you put on families and kids alike w your park. Congratulations Seth.
I've been a bit behind on the videos as of late but finally getting to watch this makes my heart happy. You've been working hard on a project to benefit your community for year and your hard work has finally paid off. I'm not crying you are.
Thanks to all the patrons and Patreons! 👏🤝
Seth, you restored our faith in humanity. Thank you for all your efforts!
Seth, if ever you question how much respect you command, how many people appreciate everything you do, or whether what you do makes any difference: watch this back.
I'm planing on purchasing my first MTB bike. I'm really interested in trail riding and bikepacking. I was searching info on RUclips about MTB bikes and I came around your channel. Ever since I'm hooked. I've been watching all of your videos and you are amazing! Thank you for what you do. You've inspired me even more to try trail/dirt riding!
Thanks Seth for the berm peak bike park. Maybe one day when I get to go to berm peak bike park I want to make sure that Seth will be there, so that I can greet him in person.
Thank you berm peak
Thanks Seth for the inspiration. Hope you get to make more Berm Parks all over the world
It must be so exciting opening a bike park like this. Some day I'm gonna take the plain across the ocean and send these trails!
I had kinda lost track of what you were doing for the last year or so, but it is a great feeling of joy to see this project finally see life !
From installing single din radios to building bike parks. That’s quite the transition!
Seth We are stationed in Italy and I just so happened to be in the upstate of South Carolina in April. I couldn’t make opening weekend, but went up solo the following weekend. It’s amazing! I had a blast riding with young and old. I got to work on my jumping on high roller. Keep up the great work!
Congrats Seth, looks amazing. Best regards from Chile 🇨🇱, South America
It almost makes you cry, seeing what a man a his bicycle can accomplish.
Seth! You're such an inspiration to us all and a big reason why I started biking! Appreciate all that you do for us
I'm not even really a mountain biker but enjoy these videos so much. This is a huge accomplishment and so freaking awesome!
I know I’m late to this video; but I’ve fallen down quite the rabbit hole getting into mountain biking, along with binging your vids. I’m from Georgia just south of you guys and have some friends in Asheville. Absolutely can’t wait to make the trip. Rocking an old wahoo 29er and still having a blast. Keep up the awesome positivity, and informative videos.
Followed this channel for about 2 years now... Missed this video premiere back in May, but... the ending I got the feels and nearly teared up. :) Thanks for all the work you've done to bring this to a reality. -Someone who probably will never be able to visit the park.
Congratulations, Seth! What an awesome accomplishment! I'm heading to the Ashville area in a couple of weeks for a mountain unicycle festival, and to move my parents, but I sincerely hope that I can visit your beautiful trails! Keep up the great work!!!! You're inspiring!!!!
Saw Alex's video first after the opening. Was great to see Kyle on a non e-bike! Plus April as the train engine was a great compliment to her skills. Everyone on RUclips has been there! Congratulations on making your dream come true for so many others! You gotta big heart, Seth!
BTW, was in Canton last in 2015. Now we gotta get back. Ashville, Maggie Valley, Wanyeswrold, er ville, the western end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Pisgah gnar! Dupont State Rec Forest! Waterfalls, hiking, biking, camp or B&B, craft beers! Lots to do in a small area!
Fair play mate, that's an incredible achievement, a legacy even! Not many people on earth have the determination, work ethic and sense of community to make something that brings so much joy to so many people. Well done Seth!
Love to see it watched him come from making a trail in his back yard to upgrading to new house and making trails back there to this
For just being a "crazy youtuber" you're doing a hell of a job of leaving a lasting legacy on the MTB community. Congratulations on finally seeing your vision come alive!
