I will be announcing the 2nd secret code t-shirt winner from the Kicker video in the next build video. If you haven’t found it yet, you still have a chance to enter the draw. Here’s a clue… You could find it with your eyes closed.
I think you should make some sort of shark fin or transition jump but maybe put a spin on it and have a on off plank in it to or do a wall ride or a teeter totter
I made a kicker today to put in this trail in the bush me and my mates have been working on for a bit now. Your videos inspired us to start building jumps and sending it love the content man!
Enjoy the new rig!! My father in law is recovering from a stroke and needed a new project for his "men's shed group". We've downloaded the doc and he's gonna build the kicker for my son. He's gonna be stoked when he sees it! Gonna grab a mud guard and sticker pack to go with it too. 👌
That would be cool, but I don't think I have any rocks where that would work. I'll have to explore the property a bit more. And yeah the meters to feet was pretty acurate.
With the creeping nose, you can actually fix that!! By taking the bottom bracket out and regreece it, if that doesn’t help check the suspension, if that doesn’t work just take it in for a survice!! Love your videos man keep it up, also I reckon you should build a Wale tale that would be sick! 🎉🎉🎉😊
Hey mate thanks for the advice. Yeah I eneded up giving it a good clean and tightening the pivot bolts. Sounds good now but I think I will regrease it as well
YES! The top to bottom video we have all be waiting for!!! Your trail looks SO FUN!!! Old Tom’s mix looks fun too! If it were me I would improve the Creek Gap landing first, then fix the 180º turn after the Bush Beast. For the turn after the Bush Beast I imagine I giant quarter pipe but instead of airing out you ride up, then ride an arch, then ride down. The quarter pipe is sooo tall you can’t air out and it’s less steep but the motion or arch is kind of similar. (What if the arch hand an adjustable angle!!!) Then, like many of your features, a removable section of the wall to make the shape like a “n” or rainbow. I imagine half of it is a pit, half is the pits dirt above ground and the top is wood. There could even be a bypass berm behind it. For spice level, make the arch go around a tree. You could have the arch built around a tree with a low line below the tree and the high line above the tree for spice!
You should see the bottom half of old tom. Its a black jump flow trail. Lots of fun to ride but I can't clear the jumps. Ohhhh yeah a massive quarter pipe would be insane. You have some crazy ideas! I love it
@@cutlaps I’m with you, I can hit big things but not the biggest. I’m excited to show you my updated dirt bowls, need to clean up today’s back-hoe mess first. They are like a dirt skate park but with crazy layers and alt lines. For example inner bowls with outer berms and berms crossing like a X but they flow nice in both directions at the intersection. Kind of artistic looking too with waves and rollers all over the place. I’m so stoked, my kids have loved riding it so far, to the point they are volunteering to help dig for the first time 🤩
Nice video! Interesting that your bike developed a creaking sound so fast. Could be the Auzzie dirt! It's quite common for new bikes to start creaking after some rides and, especially full suspension. When I find a creaking like this I usually just take apart the linkage and grease everything and that usually is the solution.
Yeah its been so dry and dusty here lately. I think some super fine dust got in from the dirt roads at my place. I gave it a good was and checked all the pivot bolts were tight and its mostly sorted the problem. But your idea of pulling the linkage apart and greasing is a solid idea.
I love watching your videos. Everything you build has a story to it. It’s so cool how you give us the plans to build something of our own whether it’s a better relationship with friends or from pallet boards.
Dude is straight up making the best MTB backyard trail on TH-cam. Would love to see a massive north shore with optional lines and skinnies- would the perfect use for all that beautiful timber you've got!
The trail looks great! Nothing better than new bike day! I think the trail needs a rock garden/drop/feature of some sort. A little tech to go with all the flow.
Yeah I agree. I would love a tech section or big rock roll but there just isnt' any decent sized rocks to build with on the current trail. On the other side of the hill are some big rocks so I plan to build a tech trail there. Should be a pretty big rock drop as well
Dude! I just found this channel, and I have watched ALL of the videos!! All I can say is, I want more! Haha!! Great job on the trail, and awesome cinematography and graphics. I feel like this is top tier content, and it is encouraging that you show your hesitation and work through it. As a cautious rider, I appreciate you showing how to overcome fear! Thanks, and keep it up!
Hey mate! Thanks for watching all of my videos. Thats awesome. I'm working on the next one at the moment. And yeah I don't want to pretend that I'm some awesome rider who can just send anything. I would rather be honest and show the fear I have. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Yeah Luke! Love the new rig, thats the ideal amount of bike I reckon. I used to have a Giant Reign which was similar and loved it! I think a nice shark fin launching to a landing in the edge of the creek couod be cool 😎 Enjoy the new ride man! Sam
Hey Sam! Yeah I'm pretty stoked with the bike so far. Good for pedalling, good for some chunky stuff, perfect for me. I think a shark fin launching back into the creek could work really well on the next section of trail. It all depends on how much wood I can get my hands on haaha
Awesome work I can't imagine the work that's gone into all that 🤯 a unique feature I'd like to see apart from the mentioned wall ride, is a dirt quarter into a dirt spine with a wooden downside... 😁🤔🤔
Great work mate I’m an Aussie so I’m liking your slang besides that you doin great and I hope you can keep building your MTB trail and you have inspired me so thank you!
Hello from Victoria! I am a big fan of your videos, they are super entertaining and fun to watch. I am a 12yo rider and I’ve been building jumps and also have just started a pump track out the front of my house with my best friend. You are super inspiring.
Hi really enjoy watching your videos and when i watch on i am annoyed that sometimes it can be months between uploads but i know its because your videos are so good and a lot of effort is put into them. In my opinion if your up for it i think a skinny over the creak or just in general would be a sick feature
Hey mate. At least there was only 3 weeks in between my latest videos. Have you seen my earlier video where a tree falls across the creek? I turned that into a pretty cool skinny bridge.
That is awsome! Thanks to you I have started building my own backyard jump line, and recently bought a trek remedy 8. It is great to see the track in 1 video. Hello from Tasmania.
@@cutlaps You should definitely come to Tasmania!!! It is a mountain bike mecca, especially with derby and wild mersey trails but it has so much, a lot towns have a few trails. Thank you!
Cool new bike. I think you should build a flowy rock garden like what Seth from berm peak has. the new bike can certainly handle it, and it will add a tech section without taking away the flow. also, rocks should be easy to come by on your property so mostly free. nonmatter what you do it will be sick. 🤘
Hey dude, yeah a rock garden would be cool. I don't think I have the energy to move all the rocks though. So I think I will build a seperate tech trail. I think I have found a fun line.
I am loving these trail builds and love seeing it all come together. Reminds me of the trails I'd build in the bush with my mates during the covid 19 lockdown. We both enjoyed making and riding skinnys from sketchy fallen trees and trying to get across a series of them so if you come across a fallen tree as you make your way down, i reckon you should build some fallen tree skinnys to continue this trail. Can't wait for the next video!! 🤙
For the creaking sound on your new Norco you could try taking out and greasing the mounting bolts holding the shock. I've had shocks in the past do this to me and this was the solution I found. Love the video and keep it up!
Thinking of getting a new bike to hit up the local trails but many are out of my budget unfortunately. Still keeps me stoked to visit when I watch your videos and get pumped for the next ride!
Love the new rig man it looks mint looking forward to what’s next in your trail system I’ve taken big inspiration from your trail building making about a kilometer of trail in my backyard and it’s all hand built happy for you in the new rig and excited to see what’s next for you and this channel.
Sick as Luke. Stoked to see a snake run vid and 8m even more stoked to hear you’ve got big plans to extend it. You’ve got that much room, you could even add another that jumps and weaves over the original trail. Keep them coming mate. Bike looks sick. Old Tom looks legit hella fun.
Yeah I need to save some money so I can do a huge road trip around Aus. So many epic places to check out. And those new trails at Fox Creek are looking epic
Love the videos and how passionate you are with your building of trails and just your work. I recently bought a Norco Range and I have been loving it. I think in your backyard you should build some sort of step up to a hip and then after that you should try have a flow section.
These videos you are making are honestly amazing, and have inspired me to make my own backyard trail once I’m out of college. I honestly think another spiral except going down this time would be really cool.
Oh yeah I have thought about a spiral like that. I would be cool if it was like a funnel and you could go around it a few times before shooting out the bottom.
Congrats on the new bike. Defo need to make my way down to Eden. Just have Mogo a spin a couple weeks ago and love how good the south coast is for riding!
Hey cutlass, what another sick video, that new bike looks perfect for snake run and the trails around you. I was thinking a sick feature could be a jump on and off slanted feature, almost like a wall ride but less steep! I think Seth from backyard trails built something like it. Thanks for the great video Ps I have no idea how to solve these puzzles, I’ve tried everyone😂
Oh yeah when you were explaining it I was thinking of the feature Seth built next to his whale tail! It looked hectic. But I think it would be cool by itself for sure! The puzzle in the last video was really really hard. Only 4 people have solved it so far.
Wood feature: a jump onto a wall ride and then you have to drop off into the land that sends back toward the creek. Dirt feature: a snake berm that sends the rider off of a slanted jump where the landing is also slanted (there doesn’t need to be a big jump)
shark fins snaking back and forth in the valley would be sick sick maybe an optional wallride? A wooden kicker would also be awesome in the connecting trail. Keep up the great work mate!🎉
Love the new and bike and it’s very cool to see you link the whole trail together! Just in case you haven’t solved the creaking already my first thought would be to double check that all the frame linkage bolts and the headset are properly tightened. Anyways enjoy the new bike it looks great!
Thanks Charlie, yeah I ended up buying a torque wrench so I could make sure everything was tightened correctly. And washed out some dust. Its sounding a lot better. I also plan to pull the linkage apart and regrease it.
You should build an On-Off. A jump onto a wooden platform with a drop off the other side! Awesome bike, the Norco sight is amazing, I’m on my third one and loving it!
Oh thats cool you have had so many Sights! It was the first bike I wanted when I first started riding but they were sold out everywhere so I got the optic instead.
Again a great video always looking forward to your posts. I started to build trails with my friends and we took a lot of inspiration from you. I would suggest you build some sort of a wall ride or a teeter totter. Keep up the good work and see you in the next one.
Yes I have actually. We have high speed and flowy sections thats were we initially planned to put it but there but we were to fast so it just acted like a wobbly jump. We moved it to the a slow technical section and i would never build a trail without it again. It's made of a plank screwed on a log. The log is iff centre so it resets itself once you rode over it. Zhe only downside is, that you can't really follow your buddies too close because the teeter totter needs a second or two to reset itself. Its a really fun feature and i hope my description helps you to imagine how it could look. Hope you build it.😀
As soon as I heard that creaky noise, I got flashbacks I own a 2023 Norco fluid HT one and it made the same noise. (It was a problem with my saddle. It was loose.) love your videos by the way.
Hey man! Love your videos. You inspire me to get out there and ride way more often! I'm getting a Trek Roscoe 7 soon and I am hoping to love it! Keep kicking it out there man! ❤
Hey man! I am only 12 years old, but i decided to start mountain biking about a year ago. I affected my friend with this, and now we both do mountain biking. 3 months ago we built a super "flowy" trail and it was sick! I just wanted to say that, you were my inspiration all along, and that i used your videos as a tutorial, that you are super entertaining, at the same time. Also a skinny would be cool👍
Ohhhh dude that sounds rad!!!! I'm thinking of turning an old fallen tree into a skinny next week. Its actually a pretty big tree so I dont think it will be very skinny but should be a lot of fun.
I reckon you should make a section dedicated to tech and rougher stuff, it would add a bit more variety to the trail and would be a lot of fun. Love these videos so much because they inspired me and my friends to build our own similar trail. Keep them comin!
Hey man! Sick new bike dude,plenty of shredding to be had on that beast! And the noise sounds like the saddle rails creaking!, ride hard live fast bro 👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats on the new bike mate!! Love your trail and trail building... videos are so pro! For the next feature maybe inbetween to link your trails, how about a quark knuckle jump which is one of those multi level humped table tops or one of those log stack drops you see on the UCI world cup circuits? I'm keen to build both. Be good to see someone that know what there doing give either a go!
Have been dying for this one to drop! With the teaser in your community post. I reckon you should build a hop on hop off feature to do like nose bonks on. I have just purchased some wood with the help of the plans in the previous video Ill build it today. Love the videos keep it up.
Hey man I love your videos so much that me and my family have recently made our own backyard trails and came to your videos for ideas for features thank. You so much❤
love your vids so much, i wish i could ride your trail it looks so fun especially for a trail in your backyard. If i had that trail in my back yard i would be riding and make more jumps for it every day. love your work so much. Hello from SA
Sweet! Yeah I am loving it so far. I have wanted a sight for a long time now. I actually planned to get one before the Norco Optic but they were sold out due to covid and it was going to be a long wait.
@@cutlaps That’s good to hear, hope to see some more videos on it soon! Also good to check and regrease the pivot bearings probably causing the creak, my pivot bolts for mounting the shock were bone dry from factory and caused some noise.
@@codyrussell28 I started out by washing all the fine dust off and cleaning the pivot bolts and the noise went away. But it got dusty on the weekend and its back. I need to get some grease to sort it out and it should be good.
Hey Cutlaps, love your trail and videos. For a new feature what about a ‘Triple Threat’ Do you have a steepish corner for a techy rock garden? Then you could run a low skinny beside it for a green, roll through the garden as a blue or jump the garden black style. Cheers
That would be cool. But I don't have a place on the trail with a rock garden like that. I can think of another place on the property where it could work but that would need to be a second trail I think. Thaks for leaving a comment.
Thanks mate! Yeah I need a few more skinnies on my trail. Have you seen this video? th-cam.com/video/vAHJ-Qau3Zg/w-d-xo.html I built a skinny bridge from a fallen tree.
Absolutely love you content and you inspired me to mountain bike but I think I big thick hip jump would fit perfectly in the new cut of to the creek gap
Hey Luke, love the videos, that creaking sound may be the saddle mount or possibly the crank bolts (I've had this issue in the past). An idea for after that massive berm is a fast switch back/dirt berm into a progressive hipped jump. Keep up the great quality videos!
I will be announcing the 2nd secret code t-shirt winner from the Kicker video in the next build video. If you haven’t found it yet, you still have a chance to enter the draw. Here’s a clue… You could find it with your eyes closed.

Darkness
Where’s the place you went, was it allton, alton, alltom or altom?
@@QueenslandAdventures Oh lol. The MTB park is called Gravity Eden, and the trail was called Old Tom.
@@cutlaps thank you I really appreciate someone for me to look up to when starting mountain biking 🙌
You should add a skinny across the creek gap. Would be sketch but maybe better than jumping it depending on skill. New bike look READY FOR SHREDY🤘🤘🤘
READY FOR SHREDY! Optional skinny is a cool idea.
Love your videos man, you inspire me to be a better rider, a wall ride in there would definitely be epic.
Hello from South Australia 🇦🇺
Hey mate! Stoked to inspire you. Yeah a wall ride would be really cool
After the wallride, build a curve uphill and then a bridge over the trail like for the wallride
Oh sort of like the dirt corkscrew before it but out of wood?
@@cutlaps yes 🤙
I made a kicker today to put in this trail in the bush me and my mates have been working on for a bit now. Your videos inspired us to start building jumps and sending it love the content man!
Oh dude thats awesome. So good you are out building with friends.
I actually missed bike day but got mine yesterday 🎉
Oh awesome. What did you get?
Dude! Your trail is getting more epic with every video. My son was stoked when he saw that we won the shirt. Thanks bro.
Awesome!!! I was waiting to see your comment. Can you please send me an email on my website and I'll get the shirt sorted 🤟
Enjoy the new rig!! My father in law is recovering from a stroke and needed a new project for his "men's shed group". We've downloaded the doc and he's gonna build the kicker for my son. He's gonna be stoked when he sees it! Gonna grab a mud guard and sticker pack to go with it too. 👌
Thats great to hear. I hope your father in law is recovering well. Your son is going to be stoked!
I love your videos. You have inspired me and my friends to build trails in our local woods. Thanks for the full tour I have wanted that for ages.
been waiting for a full tour for a while now, good to finally see it
Yeah it had been a long time coming! While filming it I realised there is so many features I want to build and sections I want to make better.
Build a cap jump with a rock landing 2-3m jump or 6-9 feet jump, idk is the meeters to feet correct.
That would be cool, but I don't think I have any rocks where that would work. I'll have to explore the property a bit more. And yeah the meters to feet was pretty acurate.
You should give the trail a little groom, mostly some of the burms. I recon you should also put in a on-off feature in the trail
Yeah some of the berms are a few years old now and need a bit of a rebuild. It still rides fine though.
Dude i absolutely love your videos im currently saving up so i can make your kicker
Oh very cool!!!
With the creeping nose, you can actually fix that!! By taking the bottom bracket out and regreece it, if that doesn’t help check the suspension, if that doesn’t work just take it in for a survice!! Love your videos man keep it up, also I reckon you should build a Wale tale that would be sick! 🎉🎉🎉😊
Hey mate thanks for the advice. Yeah I eneded up giving it a good clean and tightening the pivot bolts. Sounds good now but I think I will regrease it as well

Don't know if it's possible, but you should try and recreate the Bentonville Masterpiece. It would be mint 👌
Hmmm not sure I know what that is. Is it the bridge that looks like a cog that can be hit like a wall ride?
Yea that one
@@MTBFellas That thing does look pretty epic!
you should do a see saw and a bridge across the creek
Yeah that is really cool. Right at the end of the trail is another creek that needs to be crossed. That could be a really intersing build.

Hey cutlass, what another sick video, that new bike looks perfect for snake run and the trails around you. I was thinking a sick feature could be a jump on and off slanted feature, almost like a wall ride but less steep! I think Seth from backyard trails built something like it. Thanks for the great video
Ps I have no idea how to solve these puzzles, I’ve tried everyone😂
Oh yeah when you were explaining it I was thinking of the feature Seth built next to his whale tail! It looked hectic. But I think it would be cool by itself for sure!
The puzzle in the last video was really really hard. Only 4 people have solved it so far.
Wood feature: a jump onto a wall ride and then you have to drop off into the land that sends back toward the creek.
Dirt feature: a snake berm that sends the rider off of a slanted jump where the landing is also slanted (there doesn’t need to be a big jump)
I like the sound of that wood feature! I need to get milling!
shark fins snaking back and forth in the valley would be sick sick maybe an optional wallride? A wooden kicker would also be awesome in the connecting trail. Keep up the great work mate!🎉
For sure! Yeah I will be building a wooden kicker in the connecting trail. On wheels so the gap can change. A couple of shark fins would also be sick
Awesome new bike that thing looks awesome. I'm liking that trail!!!
Yeah I'm stoked on it. I have to get used to how light it is compared to my ebike.
Cool dude, thats awesome!
Hey cutlaps you inspired me to build a mini kicker with the free kicker plans and it came out so SICK!!!! Thank you for the free kicker plans.
Awesome!! Thats what I love to hear!
Love the new and bike and it’s very cool to see you link the whole trail together!
Just in case you haven’t solved the creaking already my first thought would be to double check that all the frame linkage bolts and the headset are properly tightened. Anyways enjoy the new bike it looks great!
Second this - sounded like the squeak happened when bouncing - happens in my rear triangle from time to time when something gets loose.
Thanks Charlie, yeah I ended up buying a torque wrench so I could make sure everything was tightened correctly. And washed out some dust. Its sounding a lot better. I also plan to pull the linkage apart and regrease it.
Bro you espired me to ride on jumps and to stop being scared thank you❤
Thats epic! I need to stop being scared as well.
Hey, you should for sure add a techy decent. That would be sick! Loving the content. Its motivated me to make a little trail of my own. Keep it up 🤘
Yeah a tech decent to really put the new bike to use would be cool. Awesome you are building your own trail.
You should build an On-Off. A jump onto a wooden platform with a drop off the other side!
Awesome bike, the Norco sight is amazing, I’m on my third one and loving it!
Oh thats cool you have had so many Sights! It was the first bike I wanted when I first started riding but they were sold out everywhere so I got the optic instead.
This has inspired me to build my own jumps in my local forest thank you so much
Thats so cool. Have fun
A jump box would be awesome! A rare but very cool feature. And easy to build.
Whats a jump box?
sick new bike dude!
Thanks mate. I'm pumped with it
That backyard trail is something out of a dream! Another great vid. Congrats on the rig!
Thanks mate! Yeah loving the bike so far.
You are the goat you inspire me to do biking when I was 10 and now I am 11 years old
Hey Aron. Thats so cool I inspired you to start riding. Hope you have been having fun
@@cutlaps Thanks
i am now a lot better at biking
🚴
Again a great video always looking forward to your posts. I started to build trails with my friends and we took a lot of inspiration from you. I would suggest you build some sort of a wall ride or a teeter totter. Keep up the good work and see you in the next one.
Cool you and your friends are building trails as well. A wall ride would be fun. Have you built a teeter totter?
Yes I have actually. We have high speed and flowy sections thats were we initially planned to put it but there but we were to fast so it just acted like a wobbly jump. We moved it to the a slow technical section and i would never build a trail without it again. It's made of a plank screwed on a log. The log is iff centre so it resets itself once you rode over it. Zhe only downside is, that you can't really follow your buddies too close because the teeter totter needs a second or two to reset itself. Its a really fun feature and i hope my description helps you to imagine how it could look. Hope you build it.😀
As soon as I heard that creaky noise, I got flashbacks I own a 2023 Norco fluid HT one and it made the same noise. (It was a problem with my saddle. It was loose.) love your videos by the way.
Love the vids bro sick bike
Thanks mate!
I think you should add a loop 😳
Now that would be insane!!!
Hey man! Love your videos. You inspire me to get out there and ride way more often! I'm getting a Trek Roscoe 7 soon and I am hoping to love it! Keep kicking it out there man! ❤
Oh nice!!! I'm sure you will love it. New bike days are the best!
A sharkfin would be crazy. And the t-shirt looks sick too.
Nice Bike and Video!
Thanks mate! Yeah lots of people are keen to see a shark fin!
Try some skinny’s over the creek- easy to make, fun and different to ride, start and end wide. New bike looks sick!
Hmmm that just gave me an idea for an alternate trail. I could have a second trail that runs next to the main line but its all skinny bridges.
Hey man! I am only 12 years old, but i decided to start mountain biking about a year ago. I affected my friend with this, and now we both do mountain biking.
3 months ago we built a super "flowy" trail and it was sick! I just wanted to say that, you were my inspiration all along, and that i used your videos as a tutorial, that you are super entertaining, at the same time. Also a skinny would be cool👍
Ohhhh dude that sounds rad!!!! I'm thinking of turning an old fallen tree into a skinny next week. Its actually a pretty big tree so I dont think it will be very skinny but should be a lot of fun.
0:06 full tuah
Tuah?
Hawk tuah spit on that thang!!!
Ahahahahahah legit made me laugh
I reckon you should make a section dedicated to tech and rougher stuff, it would add a bit more variety to the trail and would be a lot of fun. Love these videos so much because they inspired me and my friends to build our own similar trail. Keep them comin!
Yeah some tech would be great! There is a really rocky section on the other side of the hill, I think I will build a tech trail there next
Hey man! Sick new bike dude,plenty of shredding to be had on that beast! And the noise sounds like the saddle rails creaking!, ride hard live fast bro 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate. Yeah I thought it was the seat rails as well but it was happening while standing. It ended up being the pivot bolts.
The trail is looking sick! A big hip to jump would be so sick. Might be a nice way to turn the corner after the big wooden berm!
Oh yeah A big right had hip and then the landing would scoop down into a berm.
Congrats on the new bike mate!! Love your trail and trail building... videos are so pro! For the next feature maybe inbetween to link your trails, how about a quark knuckle jump which is one of those multi level humped table tops or one of those log stack drops you see on the UCI world cup circuits? I'm keen to build both. Be good to see someone that know what there doing give either a go!
Thanks mate!! Yeah a couple of quark jumps on the trail would be pretty cool. I think I know what you are talking about with the log stack drops.
Have been dying for this one to drop! With the teaser in your community post. I reckon you should build a hop on hop off feature to do like nose bonks on. I have just purchased some wood with the help of the plans in the previous video Ill build it today.
Love the videos keep it up.
Oh nice!! Hope the build goes well. And the nose bonk idea is cool, I can see myself going over the bars haha
@@cutlaps Haha yes it would be a learning experience though 😂
Hi i am building a own bike trail from hand and then i build things like You and it makes me happy
Thats awesome!
I think a slightly large on off like freight train at whistler would be amazing
Ohhh I think I know what you are talking about. It would be cool to have a bigger drop of the end of it on my trail.
Love the building. For your next feature go for a lilypad where you jump onto and then off it. Maybe crossing the creek, that would be awesome!
Oh yeah across the creek would be hectic
Looking good I would love to ride your back yard trails. And your getting so good can’t wait to see more of your videos
Thanks mate. I'm feeling a bit more confident through chunkier stuff. I still have a lot to learn.
You should add crazy berm cutback part the snake run. Just berm after berm for a little bit that you can speed through.
Yeah there is a really fast and fun section at eden like that. I wold love to build something like that.
Hey man I think you should continue the trail through the valley and then do a step up into some jumps and berms.
Yeah I'm thinking a left berm after the creek gap, then a bridge into a big step up.
Hey man I love your videos so much that me and my family have recently made our own backyard trails and came to your videos for ideas for features thank. You so much❤
Sick. I hope my videos helped out.
Your ridings getting so good!
Na thats just my camera skills getting better, making my riding skills look better haha
That trail is insane. I would love to be able to build stuff like that. As always a sick video.
Thanks mate. Yeah the trail is coming along nicely. I have big plans in my head on how to make it better. Cheers for watching.
love your vids so much, i wish i could ride your trail it looks so fun especially for a trail in your backyard. If i had that trail in my back yard i would be riding and make more jumps for it every day. love your work so much. Hello from SA
Hey mate! Yeah I am so lucky to be able to build a trail like this in my backyard.
Love your videos you inspire me to be a better rider. Thanks so much for helping me progress and am thinking about building one of your jumps😁
Very cool! If you do build one of my jumps I'm sure you will have a lot of fun riding it.
Hey man, love your videos. You inspired me to start building trails and so many other people, Thanks.
Thats really cool. Hope you have been having fun building trails.
I've got the exact same bike and have made a few videos with it. Absolute weapon of a bike on the trails, you'll love it! Good choice
Sweet! Yeah I am loving it so far. I have wanted a sight for a long time now. I actually planned to get one before the Norco Optic but they were sold out due to covid and it was going to be a long wait.
@@cutlaps That’s good to hear, hope to see some more videos on it soon!
Also good to check and regrease the pivot bearings probably causing the creak, my pivot bolts for mounting the shock were bone dry from factory and caused some noise.
@@codyrussell28 I started out by washing all the fine dust off and cleaning the pivot bolts and the noise went away. But it got dusty on the weekend and its back. I need to get some grease to sort it out and it should be good.
Hey Cutlaps, love your trail and videos. For a new feature what about a ‘Triple Threat’ Do you have a steepish corner for a techy rock garden?
Then you could run a low skinny beside it for a green, roll through the garden as a blue or jump the garden black style.
Cheers
That would be cool. But I don't have a place on the trail with a rock garden like that. I can think of another place on the property where it could work but that would need to be a second trail I think. Thaks for leaving a comment.
Sick bike man the improvements is crazy I enjoy watching your vids man keep it up I’m your biggest fan
Thats so cool. Thank you
I am not really good at riding but your videos inspired me to make a kicker myself keep making these videos
Ohhh thats cool mate. How did the kicker turn out?
Dude you know the answer! Build one of each: mini, mid, Large of your kickers and then build them in sequence on a straighter section!
Oh that would be a mad jump line
Comment for the algorithm, because you deserve more attention
Legend!
You should add a wall ride in somewhere
Yeah that would be pretty sick.
Nice bike! Timber skinny over the creek
Thanks mate! Yeah I need a few more skinnies on my trail. Have you seen this video? th-cam.com/video/vAHJ-Qau3Zg/w-d-xo.html I built a skinny bridge from a fallen tree.
Definetly O-ring seal replacement i usually have the same sound after 150hrs of riding so i keep sets of o rings and seals
Oooft that would be heavy if it needed replacing on the first day of riding the bike. Lucky it was just dust in the pivots. Need a good greasing.
Absolutely love you content and you inspired me to mountain bike but I think I big thick hip jump would fit perfectly in the new cut of to the creek gap
A hip would be cool but they scare me.
Hey Luke, love the videos, that creaking sound may be the saddle mount or possibly the crank bolts (I've had this issue in the past). An idea for after that massive berm is a fast switch back/dirt berm into a progressive hipped jump. Keep up the great quality videos!
Thanks mate, yeah its definitely dust in the pivot bolts. A tube of grease arrived today so I should be able to get it sorted out. Cheers
