We need mor trail building! We need a series we're Blake goes to a woods and builds trails and shows us how!!!! Like if u agree
Dude I couldn’t agree more
Honestly that would be soooo good
That would be awesome
Yeah
Yes more trail building !!!!!!!!!!!
Lewie Gray I agree
Same bro
That looks like the nicest dirt EVER!
looks like 80% sand
Yeah I’ve never seen such beautiful dirt
Same bro!
Like no roots
And no rocks
can we expect a whole trail building series??
Charles Hazen yes!!!!!!!!
I was actually building yesterday and I messed up on a berm this helped a lot
I was just piling up dirt on the side where I wanted it to be but then when I rode it all just washed out it was too soft
Gonna replace the stairs in my house with a berm
Migatron1 hahaha 😆
How about a double
Into a berm
And then a step up
Stick a little tabletop in there aswell
I love trail building nearly as much as riding and although I know how to build a berm, I like seeing how Blake does it and it might help me in doing something different! Also, trail building videos are satisfying af! Nice one guys
Find you someone that loves you like Blake loving on his shovel.
im not first
but im not last
but when gmbn post
i click the vid and like fast
You've got corn on your nose
Perfect timing! Just resumed trail building after winter while off school!
I wish I had dirt that good 😭
Same
Same, here in Southern Colorado we have more fine rocky dirt.
Wyatt Cornelius at least you guys have got elevation. I’m out here in Illinois 😂
@@ewan_mclean I second that. Not much elevation in Louisiana either. Lol
Here central mexico dirt gets really hard when is not raining.....and when it rains it turns to mud ._.
Little trail tip here, I’ve been trail building for 6 years now and this style of berm is great, easy to build, neat, fast, solid berm. Except if you live in a wet area or mild weather area these will become a bunch of little tiny ponds. So another more time consuming method is getting dirt from elsewhere or from the backside of the corner if you don’t mind a bit of an eyesore and build the berm on top of the ground with a drainage pipe in the middle. This makes a reliable longer lasting all year round berm👍
This is good info right here! Always have somewhere for water to go to so it gets out of your way
That dirt looks soft and sandy, our local trails are like concrete to dig! lol
That means once there built they’ll stay together and need less maintenance.
Mines hard to dig, much more ‘grassy’ and wet like permanently wet
@@benjamind165 same.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I love trail building... please make more!
Gonna head to my local spot to do some trail building whilst I’m off the next couple of weeks! A shovel and bike is all I need 😎
A Dan and His Bike and approval
I'm in quaretine and Blake is the only thing keeping me entertained with amazing videos, keep it up bro
LMFAO 15 min to do that where I live would be more like 15 hrs lol.
Yeah the dirt at our trails is so bad. Its like a chalky sticky soil😂😂
That dirt looks sooh good to work with! I wish we had that here in the middle east, we have a stubborn mix of rock and dry sand in the desert over here. Good job Blake, the berm looks rad!
June was
A problem with digging down is that you often create a water-trap. If available one should use tree-logs for support and dig them 1/3 into the ground.
This is perfect timing. Finally got some rain and our dirt is impossible to work with when dry. Got some fast flow trails with awful flat 180 turns, they need berms!
Thanks for giving entertainment in these crazy times keeping me from going crazy
I see Blake Samson I click like
I love the idea of featuring a bunch more trail building here
I love Blake's energy. It always gets me stoked.
“Like icing the cake”. Cool stuff Blake!
Genuinely impressed with how well that turned out. Making the proper arc, slope, and height is an art form! Folks should keep in mind that Blake has clearly been doing this for a long time, and it's not as easy as it looks! I usually have to tweet and re-shape features a bunch before they work this well.
What's an arc
Thank you so much Blake! If been building jumps for 2 years now bit I’ve never built a berm so I’m going to try it at the weekend
Thanks for the video I’m going to build a mountain bike trail/pump track for my neighborhood because I got permission
And I love mountain biking
Blake has a personality of a very wild and energetic dog, what an awesome dude 🤘🏼
Remember to look at the slope of the land and take into consideration where water will go (and come from!) when it rains. When water flows into the trough of a berm, it brings sand or dirt with it, which becomes a constant maintenance issue... So when designing or planning a berm, stand back and envision where the water will go when it's flowing.
This is probably valid for most everywhere - but especially important where the soil is very sandy.
This came at a perfect time! I was already planing on a burm run in my backyard (1/2 acre free and clear). Since I saw this video the other day I made 3, with about 3 to go. Thinking of a wall ride at the bottom... hint hint... next video? lol.
Thanks a million!
Me and my friends found a perfect spot for building! This will really help! I ride BMX and I love MTB.
Thank you Blake, I am actually building a berm now and I needed that wideo!
cant wait to watch this lads dont need to watch to need to like the video
Same
nice vid lads
Love this video! Really well done.
Will definitely be using this technique in the future. Thanks Blake!!!
thank you gmbn I built this berm yesterday and it is so good
Great guy, great filming, great editing, PROPER JOB🤙.that soil looks good to work with aswell!
Good stuff Blake!!!!
I'll give you that Blake that is a lovely place to build. My trail is located on the side of a 22degree hill. As you can imagine it's a lot of work to build anything. Im fourteen man, its a lot o work
MTBDREAM it’s an unrealistically nice place to build
@@benjamind165 I agree
Been gettung into mountain biking and building trails in my backyard so needed this thanks a lot.
Best part of the video was with the romance with the spade. Thanks Blake for the jump and berm vids, been trying to make a couple at home for me and my son to practice. All the best for the rest of the 2020, PEACE!
Surely Blake's most inspirational and entertaining video. But I say that about all of them!
Awesome video!
Great video!
Excellent, great tips for my 1st berm - thanks!
Thanks. That'll help a lot
Loved the video i started bbuilding a mtb track yesterday i have a pit and a dirt jump im watching at 11:30 at night so i am so excited to get building tommorow

Great tips, thanks just built my first berm today.
Thanks for these tipps 🤙👍
Yey for Blake!
Excellent work and build tutorial!! With some things, ya just gotta roll your sleeves up and make it happen!! Good job!!
I live on an old farm with my dad siblings and grandparents. My grandfather said as long as he cant see it and it cant be seen from the road I'm all set. So been doing exactly what Blake told me not to do, just go right the way into the woods and start digging lol
Thank you I was just wanted to build a berm and thank to you now I can do it
when you uninstall your hair
lol super underrated
Just been down at the local woods building another line to ride (there is quite a few already) this video gave me some great inspiration for how to do the berms :D
blake, you should come ride here in South Africa plz
I heard he is from Zim!
@@Dawa202 yea I know
The_ Phoenixx I would LOVE TOO boet

same!!
Thank you man..
Thanks so convenient I need to build a berm at my jumps and I need to know how to do it properly
Thank you
I Love this channel
Came here for Blake. I was not disappointed.
I tend to use wood and logs underneath the dirt to make berms , however this is still a good method. Good video!
Blake the Builder, a show I'd watch
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
that berm looks so good
That dirt is so soft! We have to dig through hard clay in Texas! Love the vid 🤙
"Needs more of.. Blake's weight!" Love you! :D
More please!
That’s some heavenly dirt right there
The deer have taken a liking to one of my berms, need to keep fixing it but the other three are pretty solid and well packed.
Yes more building
Been out building last 2 weeks made 2 nice smooth small jump lines but needs a berm at bottom to continue line. I'll try tomorrow 👍
