Hey guys! I hope everyone is safe and staying indoors as best they can, wherever you are in the world. I've decided to kick things off in my backyard and get the MTB trails going. So here's an awesome start to the biggest build and ride project that I've undergone yet. This will be incredible for mountain bikes, mini bikes, pit bikes and bmx's. So I'm super lucky that I can progress this project from home with lots of digging, time lapses and riding. Stay safe and see you soon with more trail building! Legends.

Ah the good old days 😔
Feature Idea: A shark fin since the one at Woburn never worked out.
Techy Bikes also he should build a whale tail
I was thinking the same thing, I was thinking a whale tail, but a shark fin instead of it being straight. So like a whale tail berm? That would be really cool.
build a jump that has the landing under ground level (sort of like a dirt bowl) then you jump out the other side
Kiwi mtb Brown good idea but that presents drainage issue living in England that will fill up and be unrideable most of the time
Good idea I think you could put a burm landing and then do that awesome
That would be sick
Drainage idea: at the bottom of that bowl drill a hole and put like a metal sheet with lots of holes in it cover it up a little. All the water should go into the hole but if you make it to small itll overflow
Borrow old mate and get him in an excavator dig a trench run a Polly and one of those drains they recess into concrete and Bob's ya mothers brother
Episode 1 and I’m already addicted! This series is gonna be megga! Wish we could have a vid daily😥 keep it up bro!🔥
If only you knew that what was yesterday for me Matt uploaded an hour long 10th episode that is fire
Build a wooden roll in structure to get speed
Great idea!
yeah, I was wondering why he didnt do that in the first place.
Yes!!!
Insane idea!!!!
Ben Macpherson lets gooooo
Anyone else come back to number one to remember how it started
Aven Elsberg me lol
Yesssss
Me too
Matt, idk if this'll help but Seth from Seth's Bike Hacks has used a mechanical packing tool for a couple of his builds... That might help you get stuff done faster 👍🏻
Jack Scheffel a walker plate I think
Waker plate
a wacker plate would work but a mechanical one wouldn't work with the British soil because its so tacky it would stick to the machine too much like in one of seths videos when he used more of a clay like soil. Good idea with he wacker tho
MTB Mikolaj yea that makes sense, didn't think of that! Thanks for the comment!
@@jackscheffel1509 i think they may have one at woburn for the jumps but thats sand not clay, plus idk if matt will be able to get his hands on one with the lock down now :(
Who else is rewatching this series during the second lockdown?
heck yea
@Harvey Jones bruh lockdowns almost over tho
3rd now
Meeeeeeee
I watching this in the 8th lockdown
You should make a split line where the 1st jump is
Yea that would be amazing
Replying so e sees this
A hip to the right or Something like that
It definitely has to split somewhere. So there's more than one option, especially if it leads into bigger features!
Yea that would be amazing
Just started rewatching the series
This is actually gonna be the best series on YT rn
tonYrxd ennit finally something good to watch😂
Your right
@tonYrxd ye true
Agreed
Teamtrail 🤘🏼
Matt's intro music: "I'm fixin' to murder everyone's eardrums"
too loud??
@@MattJones yes
@@MattJones absolutely not!
@@MattJones if u have head phones ya
@@tbmx5685 WRONG
doing the same exact thing! Throwing a couple doubles and a left handed shark fin over my moms rose garden🚵♂️ Cheers from the US! Love your videos you’re a legend! “Bruv”
Do a step-on step-off berm
a confusing occurred I have room for probably one more end feature...but if I did that it have to be pretty small
Chris Albrecht i
rad! Keep going with it, I've got a long way to go but it'll be so awesome I hope!
So I’m back to Episode 1 waiting for Episode 20 to come out! Time to rewatch everything 😂
I would really recommend getting a sprinkler head for your watering can matt, really helps 🤘🤙
I definitely need one, Garden centres are closed so perhaps I need to make my own DIY one...?
@@MattJones do it 🤙🤙
Do a jump into a “whale tale”
@killian toner haha I just came from that vid aswell lol looked like such a fun feature
Yh I put that earlier seems good
Haha seths bike hacks lmao
A step on step of with a wooden middle to the jump and how often are u going to be uploading
Yes
Yes!
Off* and yes
n0va Ice I suck but I built what your talking about in my backyard. ruclips.net/video/Ah7guegLwJ8/видео.html
Frequencies Adv Co. that’s cool!
this series fed me life during lockdown. thank you so much matt you're such a good person!!!!
you should build a whale's tail or a wooden on/ off feature
You could also build a big wall ride
harrison murphy wooden features wood be cool
Whale Tails are rad!! That needs to happen, thanks bro!
And maybe later in the track you can build a similar feature to the one that was at crankworx. A jump into 270 berm where you go under where you jumped over
LDMTB It's called a toilet bowl
Yeah the toilet bowl! I'll need more speed but that's an awesome idea. Hopefully I can get more dirt delivered to help build the larger features
@@harleyjai6539 i feel like on a non mtbing (well non sport in general) people would say something like: "it's called a toilet bowl you idiot get it right" just to start an argument so it's nice to see stuff like this😅
Have the 'impossible' feature, like a step up to skinny, double height roller etc
that would be crazy, imagine how nervous you would be on every single run
I am rewatching this whole waiting for the compound rebuild episode 6
Same but I’m waiting for episode 12
Back when my life revolved around riding BMX I spent summers on summers building up the trails in my back yard. Grass/shrubs/moss are a game changer in terms of maintenance. When you plan your next feature, if you cut the grass into cubes and dig out the grass in the general area of your feature before laying down new dirt you can put the grass aside and when the feature is finished you can place the grass down on the sides and backs of your feature. This allows for keeping good moisture and it helps for the stability of the dirt. You've got a killer space and I'm pumped to see the progress!
First time I ever watched mat was when this popped up in my recommended when it came out been hooked ever since this was the prime of lockdown love your content bro keep it up
Self isolation is important unless you need Sam's tractor and piles of dirt...
And Ben to film it
so true...
Not exactly modelling good practice.
At least the rollers are more than 2 metres apart!
Collecting the dirt with Sam was filmed over a week ago but I didn't make enough digging progress for a full video. I should have explained that in the video. Ben has moved in with me
Can’t wait to see what this field looks like at the end, you should get a dirt compactor rent/buy would make it a million times easier for all those jumps
I’ve literally driven that exact tractor that he is in
George Lane cool
alex alamangos i was going to say that but i was worried because maybe he wants to kill himself so i was nice
@@nicolasquinonez5111 aahahaha, you are a good dude
Die guten Deutschen Marken halt
Same
Triangle style course, Large hip roll in into 2 jumps berm left into a 3 way, right sends you into a quarter, straight sends you into a double, left sends you into a right banking shark fin. The 4th jump has a dirt spinebuilt between the gap. One more jump and you can hip the roll in or ride up it.
New intro sickkkkkk 😀😀
thanks Max!! Glad you're stoked on it!
I grew up on a farm, and with it so normal at home, it’s brilliant to see how excited Matt is about plant machinery 😊
Bobbi Metcalfe init
Looks cool dude carnt wait to see what you do along the way. :) you should make a jump over a burn then as you land you go straight into the berm you just jumped over (your jumping over your future self)
Jacob Beech MTB how u comment a day early?
One day ?
Yeh how u comment 1 day early
matt accidently uploaded early but only i saw it
You spelt berm wrong
This is the start of the biggest series on RUclips in my opinion
I'd love to see a jump into a berm and a sharkfin out. Have one of these at my local spot and it rides great👌🏻
do you jump into it and out of it again straight away? That would feel so cool once I'm going fast
Its a 3 meters long jump into a angled landing that leads directly into a 90 degree berm. So you probably jump into the berm. At the end of the berm there's a small sharkfin. The best of this feature is, thatbyou can generate a lot of speed when you pump the jumps and the berm
Matt is a legend and you have taught me a lot about pump tracks though your videos thank you
I think a "grave" hole with a stepdown in and kicker out would be cool
A step up - step down in that corner would be pretty sweet. It would also help build speed.
bro i loved this series
Decided to watch this lockdown series again from the beginning. Needs must!
Make a bunch of different lines, have multiple jumps into one landing or the other way around. Or maybe put some mtb features in there
Yeah there's so much space for multiple lines which is great. thanks dude
Use something like large sections of cut down trees, tree stumps , 44 gallon drums , sofas, old furniture (Free rubbish) to fill space . Saves carting so much bulk good dirt/clay for the same effect . Get good hight and fill for minimal work. Or at least use that stuff for down ramps. As it appears you can't dig down for water issues. Build on..Peace
Anyone here in 2024 seeing how good these jumps really were in lockdown
Throwback to when it was a small project. Crazy what it has become after just 3 weeks! Insane
You should build a mini step on step off
mini bike, massive feature? Or tiny features for the mini bike?
Matt Jones a step on step off for both bikes but a jump line for the mini bike would be sick
I'd reccomend using some used cooking oil to help pack and keep the ramps together if you can get your hands on some. We use it on RC tracks to pack to dirt down to keep it smooth and in place
stone feature where you ride on a big rock layed in the yard as a kind of wing
Wooden roll in ! Wooden burms!
Figure of 8 type style jump ! When you do a train you can have guys under you whilst the others are in the air above 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
"What a day to be a farmer" 😂😂😂 never change
Dear Matt. I recommend you to use a rose in yours watering can. It helps a lot to dose proper amount of water for building and watering jumps before ride.
build a whale tale like the one Seth from Seth's Bike Hacks built
After the right hip jump you can build some rollers or table tops. Then you can build a left shark fin jump to turn the jump line left. That would be sick🤟
This is where it all began boys
Ye I miss the 1st lockdown
The way Matt say “thank you sam” at 1:17 has heavy Frodo vibes and I’m here for it!
Sugestion: make. Toilet bowl, a berm going in a sircle with a jump on the end to make the trail go on
wow that would be insane, thanks for the suggestion!
toilet bowl/ shark fin in the 2nd corner! such a good quarantine project. the dream space
What’s the song he always plays in time lapses and stuff?
Loving all these RUclipsrs making sick trails in their gardens.
Matt : "i've never been in a tractor"
Me : "i drive them every day"
you're lucky. that was so fun for me
@@MattJones they are pretty sick machines, but not as good as bikes :)
Matt Jones wait till your in a field bouncing all over the place
@@masseyman2755 and smacking your head on the roof, i swear i've got about 1000 bruises ther :)
James Harker why’s ur roof so low on ur tractor ? And which one do u have?:)
This is my new favourite series on RUclips, daily videos plesseeeeee
Who's here in 2024?
👇
Amy dream jump is a step up onto a platform for like a foot plant or something then a drop off/step down for the landing, would be sick if you incorporated that :)
'self isolation is important' unless you need to build a jump and get 1 of your mates to help you sat on his lap in his tractor then to top it off you invite ben round on multiple days to help you build.... i love you matt but practice what you preach bro 🤦♂️DONT MEET UP WITH PEOPLE YOU DONT LIVE WITH #STAYATHOME
for real. Until he said that I thought this was pre-virus.
Thank fuck it wasn’t just me thinking wtf am I seeing
Shut up, everyone needs to have sombody else with them in quarenteen. Would you rather him not do the series atall?
@@carterandersenmtb1114 lol your a month too late bro. Go cry to somebody else
@Cam Smith your the one crying about how hes not social distancing im just telling you to stop getting into his buisness. And i just started watching it a month late😂
I’m watching this end of September 2020 missing this series and the build lapse is been unreal and I wish we had it back
Imagine having a tractor and then just build the jumps by shovel
Luke Madsen lmao my name is Landen Madsen 😂
U still need shovels to compact and design it
A jump where kicker angles for example to the right and the landing angles to the left. So sometimes like a shark fin but with an angled kicker and landing.
Three things. 1) Don't they have hoses in the UK? Why do all the watering with a watering can? 2) Watch the sides of the jumps eroding away in the rain. Think of something to shore them up. 3) Use depth below the current level to increase your ability to build height into features and to save imported dirt volume.
I think you should make a right turn on the landing of the 1st jump, then a roller, followed by a 90 degree spined hip (1 steep feature that is a jump and landing at the same time, hipping left.)
that should leave you with plenty of speed and it sends you downhill towards the the pitbike track.
Rewatching this makes me so happy
Like just seeing how amazingly happy Matt is just makes me happy
Truly an inspiration
Big left berm in the corner where the wooden ramp was laying to generate massive speed further down the line :D Keep the great content going, lots for me to learn in these diggin' vids
Damn bro. The nostalgia is literally unreal; I remember watching this in lockdown, different times eh?
yes! been looking forward to this series of videos.
i think you should build it so the trail jumps over itself in parts. Also a big 180 berm
After the first jump you should split the line into 2 and have more of a straight jump and to the right a berm that then snakes the line between the lip and the landing of the straight jump. Just a thought.
Hey Matt, you asked us to give you ideas for different jumps so me and all my mate decided on a whale tale we all think it would be sick and give you a lot of opportunities for later videos. Thanks Matt keep it up 🤟🏽
Hi Matt so I’d go for 2 routes so the take off you just build to the right going around the corner I’d build that and carry on as you are but with the take off ramp I’d make a route going straight on aswell. Straight on would be a wooden step up with maybe a 5ft drop off
Looking good ,
The only thing I would say is try and dig into the ground and Create a bowl like feature ,
See so many pump tracks that are so flat with jumps .
#livingthedream
Good luck with it
Stay safe
can't wait until its finished gonna be so sick, i think a gator pit into a massive lip step up trick jump which sends you to the moon. Something like the darkfest step up but on a much smaller scale but enough air so you can back flip and hopefully 1080
Series gonna be wicked!! An idea, small jump with a landing sunk into the dirt, so you come flying out of the jump and land under ground sort of
You could build a berm jump transfer thingy for the right hand berm
You need a small skid steer with a float function on the bucket to move dirt and compact and smooth out your jumps
If that was my spot. I would dig down in the ground for the trail and use that dirt to build up evrything you need. Along with that what I would do is skim the top of the ground all over. With a tractor that has a scraper on the back you just push and push all the top layers to your track. With all that grass too. Use that top layer of grass for your trail. Dig it up like your gonna use the grass as sod, and flip it over for the top layer of the trail. It will be good soft dirt that will compact very well mixed with the grass roots. The grass will probably start to grow out eventually. But just as long as your riding it your tires will kill it before it gets big enough to be a problem. I would also in the middle dig a huge bowl and build up around the perimeter of the hole. So you could jump over the hole. Or in and out of it. And you could make your trails all go through there a couple times. So you could do a different transfer every time you hit that spot on each trail. Giving it a huge amount of variation.
It would be nice to integrate a little miniramp at the begin, where you can ride through (so use it as a tail) or just have a minramp session. They are pretty easy to build and you save up some dirt!
Hey Matt good to see new jumps coming in but something that may help is instead of drenching the jumps maybe just wet the back of your shovel and continue to reapply the water on the back of your shovel, this means the dirt drys quacking and it’s not all sloppy and drenched idk if it will have the same affect on this dirt but may as well give it ago
What about a nice little on-off/whale tail/ Lilly pad type feature, maybe the middle section made from wood? Who knows endless possibilities
Build a right hip like you said, leave space for a berm to fit straight infront so you can hip into an extension of a berm
Some wood features would save you quite a lot of time! And I'd love to see shark fin cause it's not something we often see on trails! Have fun building it! I'll personally go back to my cave to wait the lockdown to end in front of my jump bike...
Wow, that's quite the back yard. Can't even see your house and you got a field with trimmed hedges going all the way around. Never seen that before.
Looks like you are off to an awesome start. I would suggest adding a 6-8ft drop coming off a step-up.
Make the landing a spine or split hip and then have that be the beginning of an oval pump track. So you can hit the spine left or right and start out on the track.
Matt you should do a shark fin hip and follow the hedge round then a couple of rollers to pump and 10ft gap and gradually make jumps bigger then at the end of the jumps link the jumps into a pump track
Hi Matt I love your vids, it is so sick that you are doing this. I think it would be cool if you built a spine so you can do some jibing and maybe a shark fin.
Thanks
Idea. Make a really small lip for a step down but make the landing go down into the ground to a step up on the other side. So when you ride through you have two walls of dirt on either side
It'd be sick if you built some sort of wooden burm/wallride!
This place starts to look epic ! It's amazing how much opportunities this crisis gives us ! Thanks again and again for your videos Matt ! 😁😁😝
Farming sam is the true legend! What a guy
I’m watching this series for the third time😬
A raised wooden platform would be an ideal starting point... Probably should have used some graph paper and designed a course to fit your space. Just winging it will guarantee you multiple do-overs....
I rate you should carry on a little ways down then make a hip to the left if you standing with the pump tack behind you. Then maybe carry on along the border and maybe add a wall ride but a janky one.
@Matt Jones you should build a fat transfer into a single double transfer back . that would be epic
You should dig rain drainage ruts all around the edge of the canvas and then have streams to the ruts or pipes around the jumps
A nice Whale tail jump!
Hopefully this isn't to late but I cant help sharing my vision for the line: Make the hipped landing also a berm, curving to the right staying along the shrubs to save space in the yard, also saving space for more lines in the future. Coming out of the berm is a little berm transfer gap. It would be sick to make a left 90 degree left hip once you get to the corner. These types of features would be smaller and flowy saving dirt and space, providing early variety and speed for possibly bigger jumps along the line.
