Building a MTB Dirt Flow Trail where YOU decide the Features!! // Part 1: Shaping Rollers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- We are finally starting a new trail! Im beyond excited to begin this one because YOU get to choose how this one goes down! Thats right! As we work our way down the trail each week Ill end the video by presenting you (the viewers) with two or three options for moving forward. Then a card will pop up on the video and you guys can vote how I move forward with the build. Whatever has the highest vote by wednesday night will be what I build for that week! I think this will be pretty fun, and you guys will get to name it too! But this week I began the trail by clearing out a dense section of woods and shaping some nice flowy rollers!

Build bombholes after the rollers to get more speed and better flow
Good video
Agreed however drainage is a problem so I would just extend the down slope of the first roller
I’m pretty experienced with those
@@isaack2274 just make them shallow with short, angled drainage ditches should be fine
Do this before continuing, get a better idea of the speed
Birksy MTB u got a good point
Watching you (and the other Seth) has been educational. I just finished a one mile loop on my property, a combination of open pasture and dense woods, and I have two key suggestions for anyone building a backyard trail. 1) Make it wider than you think you need. At least 2 feet wide. Otherwise your bars will hit stuff or there's not enough room to adjust lines one the fly. This leads to number, 2) Features need more room than you think. To make a flowing course you need room to turn. I've had to rework multiple sections because tight turns ruined the flow. Some of them I'm stuck with, but now I know. Keep up the good work and we'll all build together! 👊

This is my mtb trail , I'd be happy to see your comments
On my trail, I realized in order for me to build it and maintain it, I needed it "tractor width", about 5'. That's wider than needed of course for a bike but it sure is nice to be able to get my ATV in there for hauling wood chips or whatever, plus my tractor.
How long did it take for you to finish the 1 mile loop?
Seth I have built rollers a lot but I would defo take the top log off and mellow those out cuz it doesn’t look like u can pump them . Could be wrong tho they look dope
They are a bit too much like pyramids
my thoughts exactly, they don't really seem to flow because they're so close together and it looks like he has to make a sharp turn between #1 and #2, I'm afraid they'll be hard to ride faster
We have piramid looking and normal rollers, you can pump both well, but I like normal too
Perhaps he can extend the bottom a bit more so that he doesnt have to destroy the hardened rollers. Also may link the rollers a bit better if he digs a bit of a bombhole too
P R na I think they are far sort enough they just need to be more mellow
Technical section would be cool
Sebi _ it would be cool me and my brother are doing it on are channel
Read the title. Notice how he’s says FLOWY tech isn’t flowy mate

Ive got about 4 hectares to build my trails on im really excited
I wasn’t able to pick an option. I tried on multiple platforms. Option 1 looks good. Wind the track through the forest. I think you need a wheel barrow if you can’t drive down to the features.
Wtf 16 hours ago?
FlyersFTW07 _ yh lol what
I'm using chrome on desktop. Click the settings icon in the bottom right hand corner. Enable "Annotations". Then at around 9:43, click the 'info' icon in the top right hand corner and you should be able to vote.
It's now showing '1 day ago' and the vids been up 9 hours
he needs an endurobarrow
Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me happy. I'm so glad Seth had you on his channel.
Your music choices in this video were awesome!
love the new format of community help with choosing what goes on in the trails
So excited for this series bro.
Been following you since like 4K Subs... Congrats on 75K!
100,000 is coming quick!
Seth is the type of creator that would have 1 viewer and work harder on the vid than some people with 1 mil views
I just bought 12.6 acres also in MO and I came here looking for ideas and inspiration. Can't wait to check out more of your videos.
ayyy it's like a choose your own adventure type of thing, I like it 🤙
Hey Seth, get a leaf blower, it will save loads of time and backbreaking work with a rake and leaves a mint surface. We use a Backpack Blower from Makita for building regional XC courses and I’ll never go back to struggling with a rake again!
If these backyard trails were built where im from it would have taken 10 years to get this far and $10m
You must be from Arkansas haha
YBMTB - Trail Building nah Texas
@@Idisagreethisisnotanon wtf are you talking about
It would be nothing here in Washington.
Balkanian country?
Missouri - too far north for mild winters, too far south for mild summers...
Awesome spread man - pretty cool that you're able to have your own place so close to family.
Also, brush/corridor clearing always kept me from starting trail builds when I had property like this...
Sick video Seth I wish I had that much land for my channel 😂

Thanks for the inspiration to tear apart my backyard!
This guy gives me confidence. Imagine being able to imagine the coolest forest trail and just, *building it.* massive thumbs up from me
😂 I suggest also using a wheelbarrow in stead of walking on and of with a shovel to your dirt buggy, if saving on build time is important to you 😂
Loving the vids, keep it up!
Option 1 pleased! Great Video.
I bought a small Kubota mini excavator, and between it and my Kubota tractor and a chain saw put in a trail through a quaking aspen grove on my Idaho property. It was an insane amount of work, (lot's of big rocks)as I had nothing but slopes to work with, 147' of fall in 1/4 mile, and also thick brush, but once I started I realized I couldn't stop! I have a wood chipper for the tractor, and used all the cleared trees once they were chipped, to cover the path, it makes an excellent riding or walking surface. I have a fantasy of IF I ever sold my 40 acres, the last thing I would do is say to a prospective buyer, "let's take a walk." Totally private, and mid way down I built a small deck that bridges over the stream, just big enough for a few lawn chairs, it is so cool and private, I almost feel guilty when I see how people live in town!
Hey love your videos sooo excited to se what you build next!!!!
His videos are the best!
That dirt is the most beautiful dirt ive ever seen
Tbh the rollers look so much cooler with the wood showing then building them just out of dirt!! Love the vids. Also gap jump to berm!
So true!
At a later date, you can make a gap out of the berm.
Yes!
Hey Seth, i just have one recommendation for the rollers, I personally have built rollers on my pump track and I noticed that your first roller fights against the ground a little bit. To increase speed and flow to fix that, either put more dirt to blend the backside of the roller with the ground, or you can dig into the ground, and blend it, also getting rid of that loamy dead spot. When you can ride over it with no chunky transition, you will double your speed and generally have a more “flow” to your trail! As for your options, I like option 2, just because to get all of your speed first at the beginning of your trail, and not being to hasty to put in jumps, don’t get me wrong I love jumps but I recommend placing them further down the trail for faster and more flowy jumps. I love option 1 but I think that jump is too soon and might interrupt the flow you are going for. Sorry for the long comment, 😂 I’m a very passionate trail builder, and I want your trails to be as fun and flowy as possible! Thanks for the uploads, it’s nice to see that you don’t need to be pro to have fun in this sport. Love your vids man! Freeride dude
Build both you have so many options and more lines are more choice= more fun
I really enjoy your videos. I have built some trails in my yard as well and I get a lot of inspiration from your videos. I also like the voting feature at the end of the video. Keep it up!!
Build both. make 2 lines and they can meet up later down the trail. Do the gap to berm and gap to berm and use berm as take of and land in the second option.
I'm watching and thinking of making a One Wheel XR track in my woods. This looks great!
Love this idea of picking what’s next
Some meaty BTB lore in this episode, I always wondered about your property and what you do for work. Good stuff!
Holy glow up. Your time lapse builds are really taking shape!!
Where’s the 50ft canyon gap option
I don't think there is one. Unsubscribing now
"Dad, we need to dig a ravine between the double"
Just above the pile of bones
Great idea! I think this trail will be awesome!
I see lots of videos of trail building and the time that it takes. I have built approx 5 miles of trail on my private land. The goal to make it smooth and flowing as soon as possible. The process. 1. Mark the trail with flags or tape. 2. Walk the trail and pick up any large debris, rocks logs etc. 3. Walk the trail with a chain saw, axe, machete and clear logs, sticks, trees that need to be removed. 4. Get out the old push mower set on the highest height and mow it. Yes mow it just plow through the small brush, grass, weeds. This removes and chops up all the debris, old leaves etc. 5. Do a light raking with a leaf rake to clean up debris leftover. 6. What most people will think is crazy. Oh no it may cause erosion, make the trail muddy etc. I use a large rear tine tiller and run it on the trail. Set the depth so it is just barely tilling the top layer of soil. I go 1 way and back the opposite direction only making it as wide as the tiller. 7. Go back with a garden rake and lightly clean up the tilling. 8. You now have a well defined trail with all the small roots and weeds out of your way. 9 get a few buddies rounded up and ride it. It will pack very quickly into a trail that looks like it was there for years. 10. Add whatever features you want now. Lastly after a. Purple of good rains the trail will be amazing.
bombholes in between for sure will help and take out the top log to make them less peaky as you said, will flow way better like a pump track that way! cool project though looking forward to following along
man, that is a sweet piece of property
Option 1.....keep up the great work mate !
Cool Videos man, and I love the idea of letting the viewers choose what you build next.
That looks sick. Keep the good work😉
i love the videos and i started to make a trail of myself
Same! There's tons of us :D

The music is always the best part
That's some good dirt you got there
Are you planning on making a video of the work at Shepherd Mountain Bike Park? I would love to see a video showing how it’s coming along over there!
Absolutely awesome
You're right, those rollers are kind of peaky. I'm not sure you'll have enough speed to hit a gap right out of them. I love the idea of option 1, but I'm going to vote for option 2.
Good luck mate...doing the same dingy...in my yard
Lucky dude with so much land
Insane idea for the vote nice one
A wall ride supported by the trees would be cool
Who else gets so excited when they see a new BTB upload?
Option 1 look super cool 😎
Deffo opt1....sort the rollers out first though. Take them down ond log and dig the rollers into joining berms so u can hook and pump better. It will run so much smoother and faster that way!👍🏼good luck
Nice build
Nice to see u hwre
Yea, you and Seth bike hacks need to team up again. One video idea: you each surprise each other with a different feature on each others trails? Idk, I think that could be fun.
Wow, I wish I had the space to do this!
Looking great so far !
Good idea, waiting to get experience to build. I like option 1. But when I see the path opion 2 might work better . Also a bunch of rollers in a row.
Great stuff
50 feet of elevation is enough that you probably don't even need rollers
@@YBMTB If it is long enough you can a set of trails flowing down. Every few meters a new trail with different features
Option 1 looks good
Just started watching you, Seths bike hacks vibe, I like it man
This is great!! Super excited to see how this turns out!!! 🔥
Ikr this is a cool idea!

You deserve more subs, your vid quality is awesome, keep it up and you’ll definitely grow!!
Option 2 - Seems like the better option for picking up some speed for features following this one. Seems like option 1 will prevent you from getting the speed needed to carry through to the next feature.
You should definitely consider a ladder bridge "wood to wood" gap somewhere along the line, maybe at the creek!
option 1 looks coolest
Make a shark fin/roller thing to split the trail so that you can go straight over and pump for the option 2 and you can go off the side for the s berm. This might be a project to do at a later date when making changes to the trail later though! Sick video my guy!
Love your music dude. Keep at it 👍
Sick idea mann, no actual voting option but I think you should do option 1 followed by option 2 . Baby gap into S berm that flows into option 2 for some fun fly time. I'm usually pretty stingy with my subscriptions, but you earned it mann 🤘🤙✌️
I love the idea of giving us a vote! so cool
Option 1 looks fun
I think option 1 just because you already have 3 rollers to start and I think it would give the trail a nice spicy kick in the beginning lol
it doesnt seem that long ago seeing your channel under 1k subs... maybe been a year or so i guess now, but awesome to see the growth. you'll be at 100k soon!
These trails are so cool and the content is great
good job, nice video.
thanks for idea😉
Best yt channel ever , keep riding bro 💪🏿
Option 1 chosen... You've already got some rollers so a bit of variation would be cool!
you should create a bumpy rocky tech section because in your backyard trails it seems that everything is prettymuch completely smooth
You should totally build a water feature, like a creek crossing sorta thing
I think I like option #1
I say option 1 looks the coolest.
Definitely option #1
Have both but u can jump the Berm into the other trail if u would rather
Option 1 all the way. Dude your videos are so good, you deserve more subscribers.
Share with all your friends and he will grow and he can do even sicker builds.

One of the most underrated channels on YT! 74K Subs? More like 740K quality!! Keep it up dude, love the content.
i second this comment amazing builds n all round great vids well done mate
It's up to 124k now. It takes time but no doubt this channel will keep growing - subscribe to his Patreon if you can!
Option 1 because you could probably get a very nice
Flow with the term an the rollers
Backyard Trail Builder has been such an inspiration to me. So much so that they have inspired me to create a channel of my own. I will be dropping my first video this Friday 10am Pacific Daylight Time! Any support would be much appreciated. And thanks again Backyard Trail Builder
It’s so satisfying with the dirt
I've gotta film some trail building after the rain!
Option one for sure
option one would be dope
awesome build
as cool as a berm to gap is I think you are going to want that straight at the beginning for some speed then you can think about berms and even bigger gaps :O I vote option 2!
RUclips is taking away the iCard voting feature on June 10th so you should find another way for voting.
