If it's thick and mossy, a hoe will cut through really well. If you're talking about loam (built-up pine needles and debris) a rake works well to clear it before using hoe to bench the trail. You really want to make sure to not include soft material into your trail because it may not compact well and break away while riding.

Sorry, moved on. Moved to the US. Keeping the channel up as a resource but won't be posting anymore.

haha sorry! It was a fun run while it lasted. Just doing YT in spare time now on my new channel "Jon Barak"

Aw man, seems like it's getting harder to find. The book is called "Trail Solutions. IMBA's guide to building sweet singletrack"

No there not , pathetic fearmongering at best ! Its been proven that mountain biking causes less disturbance to wild life and nature than walking and especially dog walking .

@@onsight2822plus it keeps the animals an shape cos you know once they hear the bike they’re zooming for the hills.

Yeah cheers , that aswell 👍

i'd rather ride my bike than use my car, game on my pc, netflix...

government agency's are always trying to ban things like biking which basically have no impact on wildlife but want to build apartment complexes on each but of land that is not concrete or a front yard. 8/10 rage bait 100% got me

"Trail Solutions. IMBA's guide to building sweet singletrack"

Hahaha, you and me both

Hey. Sorry about that. The book is called "Trail Solutions. IMBA's guide to building sweet singletrack"

Ay I was just thinking that

That's great to hear!

I’m not sure how I found your videos… I subscribed right away because it’s really good to see this happening!

Thank you! There is a whole tips & hacks playlist if you want more videos like this

If you are in Europe I would recommend"That Trail Tool" you can find them on Facebook. It's two guys making custom tools. One handle multiple heads, I know they have McLeods and last time I checked they were working on a shovel

Thank you! Just about 800m length and maybe 300 maximum elevation gain.

@@RAWAdventuresMTB That would be 37 1/2% which is outrageously steep, thanking maybe 40 m in climbing. That would be 5% and obviously if you claimed 80 m that would be 10%, and it really looks like you kept it well below that. Run a Strava on it and see what stats you get. BTW I am here in the states and not like percentages make any difference between metric and SAE, But I am more familiar with miles, and feet. So I’m thinking a half a mile of climbing with 150 to 200feet of Elevation gain.

Insloping? Sounds interesting! Do you have videos showing it?

@@RAWAdventuresMTB no videos, hopefully soon, but like I said just like roads and most bike parks are constructing like this. It does disrupt the sheeting of the rain water so drains have to be thoughtfully placed as well as frequent. But I wouldn’t inslope, a left-hand corner with the upslope going to the right , I will obviously outslope that to create a natural berm, also will be one of my drains. You do a great job in explaining factors, and procedure, not to mention a good looking end product.

I agree, I dig in hard and berm corners as much as possible. I just maintenance any areas that get any ruts. Eventually you have a more hard-core trail, of course I’m in Las Vegas and we don’t have soil/dirt just various sized rocks.

🤣🤣

Never done that before. I'm sure some people do that because sandbags can compact and become rock solid. The problem would be that the bags would break over time and eventually you will just be left with dirt which doesn't make for a very strong bench. I'm sure there are some types of bags out there that last nearly forever though, I just don't know of any

@@RAWAdventuresMTB my soil has very high clay content and is rather rocky, it's just small rocks. My want for the bags is almost more to hold the shape until it will finally rain (this is socal) and the soil can really solidly. After that I don't think the bags themselves will really be needed assuming the slope isn't too crazy. I was actually thinking of going with burlap (which breakdown quick) as that's less concerning to the land owner. I suppose this would ultimate be a half bench. I'll have to think about it more...

🤣🤣🤣🤣That would be me. After break a toe twice I stopped however

@@RAWAdventuresMTB LOL. Great video otherwise.

Glad to have helped, have fun!

🤣🤘 It's broken now😭

🤣Yes!

@@RAWAdventuresMTB Sick Riding!! Awesome video Dude! Love these videos and waiting for more content Dude!!

Yo! Sorry, I took a bit of a break to focus on the building and then our wifi started causing problems this month. I only expect to start uploading in November again but I will return!

www.americantrails.org/resource-library American trail resources has got a bunch of ebooks. The IMBA website is a must for the plain basics of building sustainable trails (some of their so called rules can make trails a little too sterilized). And in the description of this and other videos I've linked my favorite trail building book. Hope that helps

Cheers🤘

Thank you! Yes rogue hoe is sweet, but a bit expensive for a crew of 4-5 people

Yes! Rock slabs are amazing. Luckily here the slabs tend to already be clean and ready to ride

🤣The only way people start to do more gravity focused riding is if they have the right trails, if you build it the Enduro scene will grow. We are based in Lesotho, Africa

@@RAWAdventuresMTB i agree. Lesotho , hm it`s far ) to visit your trails

@@rattatumor 🤣yes its in the middle of nowhere, a little far for a quick trip. But worth it if you plan other African countries into the trip

@@RAWAdventuresMTB Yep, i`ll contact you if you don`t mind

@@rattatumor sure🤘

I use DaVinci Resolve. It is free for PC and Mac and in many ways (in my opinion) blows Adobe Premier out of the water

@@RAWAdventuresMTB davinci resolve glicthes to much so i use filmforth

@@theyoungmtb559 resolve is heavy on computers. It requires a good graphics card (premier likes a CPU more) But I have edited for years on a entry level Intel i3 laptop. There are some ways to get it to work smoothly. Just do a quick search on youtube for "how to get smooth playback in Resolve". I hope this helps

@@RAWAdventuresMTB thanks if got an intel i5 laptop

@@theyoungmtb559 You should be able to get Resolve to work. One more thing. If you are using the free version, don't download the latest version because it will be a beta which can be glitchy. So right now 17 is the latest, so be sure to download 16
