Haven't been around long here so I don't know if you have already done this but I thought a good addition to the tech trail would be a rope/suspension bridge
I'mma take the bypass if that's on a trail lol... Hilarious, and kudos for trying out something weird, that kind of creativity is how riding and trail building progress IMO. Thanks for the wacky vid, it was a fun watch. And super stoked you conquered the Pendulum Skinny! Congrats.
This is actually insane, I could have never come up with something this sketchy but fun, I’m glad I found your channel when I did, you make some amazing videos!
maybe sand down the edges of the skinny boards so it's not such a sharp edge for safety reasons? feel like a quick belt sander pass would take that 90°edge off and save alot of pain. although that skinny is totally awesome! what id give to try it out! thanks for the awesome content!!!
You need to replace the hard stops with springs. As the table tips the bike goes further off the edge so it's a positive feedback loop, meaning little chance for correction once things go wrong. If you use springs, it means that the further thing turns, the more it want to return to centre. This would make it a lot more forgiving and allow you to have more maximum tilt :D
Great job. I wonder if moving the end pivots higher up and above the center of the log if it wold naturally counterbalance the pendulum. depending how far off center could make it easier or harder. Just a thought. I would have also made it closer to the ground but I am 63 and not as flexible as I once was.
you should angle the slats in opposing form back and forth funneling you towards the middle. this way when you go push your wheel from side to side it pushes it back towards the middle.
I was thinking the same. If he shaves the top of the beam flat it'll lower the surface and also give a more secure surface to attach the decking. Increasing the pendulum weight or extending them lower from the beam would help too. Of course he'd have to dig ditches for the weights to swing in....or make it higher....LOL!
I feel like you could also add to the stability a bit by mounting the pivot points just above center, so that it isn't just a PITA. That might remove the need for such limiting hump stops!
You should consider a bail off landing along the right. Also might make an interesting line split, having to make it across that skinny to hit a harder line xD
This could be made in to a variable-difficulty feature by making a way to add/subtract weight from the underside and change how low it hangs (lower and heavier -> easier to ride)
The first pass before limiting the movement I was like “hell no”. But after adjusting the stops, it looks like a fun challenge. Similar to some suspension style skinnies I’ve seen. Nice work!
Dude this was awesome! Only you, seth or a mad scientist are crazy enough to try to build something so stupid, awesome, dangerous thing that is still somewhat fun to ride.
Good on ya for makin the build. My thought was that your pendulum swing motion comes from an axis below ride level. However riding itself has a swing motion with the axis above ride (ground) level. What if you made a rope bridge, or skinny on chain swing? And, you considered rider weight and relationship of distance from rider’s core to ground. (so, instead of a 3” swing, go for a 2’ swing). I think this would encourage the rider to intuitively work with the swing, and ride WITH it, not against it. (sorry, hard to explain!) - the swing’s upsidedown 😄
Shouldn’t you have offset the hole instead of using weights? The planks on the top are also offsetting the weight and center of gravity but in the opposite(bad) direction.
How about a keel? Fastened amidships it would cause too much flex in your pathway. A pair of them, fastened at the ends would provide better stability.The dee[per and heavier the "keel", the better it will work.
I love the vids so much but I feel like there isn't a trail just a bunch of features and it would be sick to see a full trail top to bottom build on that sweet piece of land!
That was very entertaining and now it has my wheels turning. I haven't thought through all the dynamics or details yet, but I wonder if you could intentionally mount the decking so it spirals around the log, in a way that, as you ride over it, you are forcing the log to rotate and bring the top surface of the deck boards around so they are facing up, exposing more riding surface ahead of you as you go. It moves completely away from the pendulum idea, but would still make a unique and challenging dynamic skinny. Anyway, I really hope we get to see some more dynamic features like this in the future.
Honestly, this was my exact concept prior to this build. Was too hard to make work with these materials as it needed to be more precise than I could do
@@TheShredist there's certainly a lot of variables to control. I imagine having a larger diameter log to start with would be helpful for the extra circumference and a little more rotational inertia to slow it down. I think I need to sketch this out and enginerd it a bit and maybe try to build it myself. Also, I loved your rolling pin prototype. That was great.
you should totally invite Seth to ride ...he's totally into sketchy stuff , the skethiest i have ever done was a rock wall ride to which it was not a happy landing ... but hey i would do it again ....fact i should totally go try it this week hahahahah :)
Man I love your ideas and thought process. Killer. If you want to open up the stops a bit, why don't you lay skateboard grip tape on the planks so the tires have more grip and less slide. Keep these sick and crazy ideas flowing, your making a very original and tricky trail system.
Ohh my god, u are "wasted" to much time staring at the clock..that's sick idea..love it...some rubber bands could help also to stabilize that thing....if one side down the other side gets tension..
It would be more interesting if instead of relying on the stops it were much heavier at bottom, In such a way that a rider wouldn't be able to flip the bridge and it would always balance back to center
So I thought maybe you could offset the angle of the surface boards to make a very shallow v that would always guide you to the center. So first board angled slightly left, second angled slightly right, rinse-and-repeat till all are done.
This looks wildly dangerous and I love it.
"What are you going to do today?"
"Frustrate and maim myself in completely unique ways."
This looks so sketchy. I need to try it! 😬😄
I think it needs some revision haha
I’m glad you follow each other. You deserve so many more subs
If BCpov and Shredist teamed up you two could make the most adjustable sketchy shit of all time.
Wasup bcpov
Another reason for you to come to Spokane!
I think you managed to make a feature sketchier than anything on Berm Peak! Congratulations!! 😂😂
Quite an achievement ain't it😂
@SethsBikeHacks you think you can top this one?
"Seth wants to know your location"
I legitimately cheered for you and laughed out loud when you made it and punched it. "You're the worst!"
Great one, Jim!
What a terrifyingly brilliant feature. Love the victory stomps!
Oh hey there
The creativity on this, and your other builds like the adjustable drop and the elevated rock garden, is astonishing.
I propose to name it the Derailleur Hangar Dealignment Tool. I'm sure it does that job with precision!
Derailleur Derailer
@@jeremybrown3429 that pretty snappy too👌
Just when shins thought it was safe to get back into the trails.

That looked like it was getting a bit personal 😂😳

My first sip of coffee perfectly synced with yours. Love to see stupid ideas executed well!
Hahaha! Diabolical
Are you gonna ride it?
🤣
This has to be a must to see you ride it
Great Job Building it. Your wife was smart for sure coming up with the stops.
Grab some bungee cords to it to stabilize it a bit, make it less easy to rotate but still able to!! Worth a shot anyways!
I hit the like button for all the effort and perseverance you put on this. I was so happy as you when you finally made it!
Visually sumptuous, with awesome storytelling and a cool trail feature. Your craft has come a long way sir! Thank you!

Now you just need to add a gap in the middle of it. You got this.
this is so sick! very creative, and i feel like this could really build some balance skills too.
This is genuinely one of the more interesting, fun and repeat-ridable Shore-type features I've seen invented in years. Nice job!
This is actually insane, I could have never come up with something this sketchy but fun, I’m glad I found your channel when I did, you make some amazing videos!

Awesome feature very unique. I love the look of the new bike
EPIC! Nice job man I love how creative you get with things!!
Great job. I wonder if moving the end pivots higher up and above the center of the log if it wold naturally counterbalance the pendulum. depending how far off center could make it easier or harder. Just a thought. I would have also made it closer to the ground but I am 63 and not as flexible as I once was.
Looks fun. I’d add some cuts or groves to the top of the feature for a little added traction.
Nice job, I was happy and cheered for you when you made it.
Crazy feature, I would add spring or old tube in order to add some resistance and help keep it level.
you should angle the slats in opposing form back and forth funneling you towards the middle. this way when you go push your wheel from side to side it pushes it back towards the middle.
First time watching one of your videos, mad respect for your carpentry skills👍👍
You’re to underrated. Keep up the good work!! This feature looks sick!!
Perhaps reduce the distance from the pivot point to the riding surface. That should make it not stupendously hard to get across.
This, or increase the mass of the counter weights, that would dampen the erratic wiggle wobble of the riding surface.
I was thinking the same. If he shaves the top of the beam flat it'll lower the surface and also give a more secure surface to attach the decking. Increasing the pendulum weight or extending them lower from the beam would help too. Of course he'd have to dig ditches for the weights to swing in....or make it higher....LOL!
Yeah, I just needed to get the project finished in time. Definitely not perfect lol.
@@TheShredist Totally understand. I wasn't trying to be critical, just an idea. Cheers!
I feel like you could also add to the stability a bit by mounting the pivot points just above center, so that it isn't just a PITA. That might remove the need for such limiting hump stops!
Awesome ideas love the ending Celebrating like you wanna race good stuff
Super clever, super sketchy, super rad! Love it
You should consider a bail off landing along the right. Also might make an interesting line split, having to make it across that skinny to hit a harder line xD
Looks dope, I would def give it a go. I think putting some shingles or grip tape might help keep traction. grate video as always.
This could be made in to a variable-difficulty feature by making a way to add/subtract weight from the underside and change how low it hangs (lower and heavier -> easier to ride)
and add some water filled mud pools ether side as a forfiet for failing
Dues paid, that was awesome! So glad you made it after all the hard work!
Why is this channel so underrated? That feature looks sick! :D
This is some seriously high quality film making!
The first pass before limiting the movement I was like “hell no”. But after adjusting the stops, it looks like a fun challenge. Similar to some suspension style skinnies I’ve seen. Nice work!
"F*** You! You're the WORST!" Hahaha! That says it all right there. Amazing stuff man. This was a hell of a lot of fun to watch.
thoughts on some long springs like you would see on the back of a self-closing gate to provide some resistance to rotation?
I've done a lot of slacklining and have been wanting to try riding my bike across the slackline. haha super sketch but could be fun to try
Maybe paint a center stripe to keep your tires lined up with.
Sketchy one! 😊Nice video. You could have gotten the same results by putting the end pins off center, more towards the top surface.
Would definitely try it! Not saying I'd make it all the way, but try it for sure!
You've outdone yourself here shredist!! That's awesome
First thing you said was exactly what I was thinking! Would like it twice if I could
We need some of those here on the north shore. So sick
Might want to try using the chalk to mark the center line to maybe work as a guide for where you need to be..
That's the coolest north shore style wood feature I've seen since the discombobulator!
Love the idea!!! Personally I’d have tried to make the pivot point higher (can’t really say how though). Also kudos for trying till you succeeded!
After the fact I realized I should have made it higher, but maybe the revised version!
Dude this was awesome! Only you, seth or a mad scientist are crazy enough to try to build something so stupid, awesome, dangerous thing that is still somewhat fun to ride.

This thing looks like a great way to max out your insurance deductible for the year.
That looks like a blast!
Shouldn’t you have offset the hole instead of using weights? The planks on the top are also offsetting the weight and center of gravity but in the opposite(bad) direction.
And or mill the top of the beam flat...
How about a keel? Fastened amidships it would cause too much flex in your pathway. A pair of them, fastened at the ends would provide better stability.The dee[per and heavier the "keel", the better it will work.
That is one of the craziest features I have ever seen!
Instead of the center of the log, you should mount them 2 or 3 inches above center. Its like a carnival game as it is!! awesome idea tho man!!
Hell yeah. I would send it! If only I was in your area.
I love the vids so much but I feel like there isn't a trail just a bunch of features and it would be sick to see a full trail top to bottom build on that sweet piece of land!
Crazy idea super out of the box techy

not for me, but no one else has done this, worlds first for you!
Dude. I've got no shortage of crazy. But... I'm no doing that. Mostly because I don't know where you are. This is awesome.
you should totally invite Seth to ride ...he's totally into sketchy stuff , the skethiest i have ever done was a rock wall ride to which it was not a happy landing ... but hey i would do it again ....fact i should totally go try it this week hahahahah :)

I think I would try it. Feel like speed would be the key
I would totally love to try that!
That thing is awesome!
Hamster wheel next!
Great video man keep up the great work
Looks like a good way to bend a derailure hanger. I’m all for it though 😂
Ohh my god, u are "wasted" to much time staring at the clock..that's sick idea..love it...some rubber bands could help also to stabilize that thing....if one side down the other side gets tension..
That’s a hilariously bad idea!🤣🤣 I like it!
This was a blast to watch! Best bad idea ever.
I wonder if painting a line down the center would help stay balanced.
Seems like an excellent core workout
I'm 10 seconds in and I'm like what the hell did you build
It would be more interesting if instead of relying on the stops it were much heavier at bottom, In such a way that a rider wouldn't be able to flip the bridge and it would always balance back to center
Where you think of this stuff love it
Is that a polygon Siskiu t8
Skinnys are hard enough, way to take it up to a new level
Looks like fun.
Yeah I could never! 😂 what a build dude
should have sawed the top of the poles flat just like berm peak does for easier use
My heart just stopped everytime your stantions touched the wood😣
how many scratches are now in the fork?
So I thought maybe you could offset the angle of the surface boards to make a very shallow v that would always guide you to the center. So first board angled slightly left, second angled slightly right, rinse-and-repeat till all are done.
🤔
What GoPro mount are you using on your Full Face?!?
If you run some 2x4s on end down the sides it will get rid of the flex👍
Good point! I might just do that.
11:19 "Compose yourself no giggling"
*Still giggles*
Great Video and cool feature.
You could add some Rubberstripes to counter the direction of the skinny turning
Maybe I'd you put a line down the center of the feature it might be easier to balance on it.
