Check out @cutlaps ride the new feature! th-cam.com/video/nKOETzs80h4/w-d-xo.html
I don't thnk it could have turned out any better!
That section should be called the "Coil", because it lines up with a snake... It's called "Snake Run", right?... Then that new section should be called the "Snake Coil".
Just saying.
@@667SatansNeighbor Or a "Slingshot", cause it uses centrifugal force to launch a rider like a projectile...
Very cool! Thanks for the opportunity to show off my trail! I have a lot of fun out there building and riding it. 🤟
Anytime!!! Keen to one day get down there and see the epicness in person!
@@bikesonline For sure!
Yes Luke. Great work mate. I am so glad you didnt ride the corkscrew but a little sad also. 🤙 I cannot wait to see it unveiled on your channel. And you looked pretty good riding that Marin.
@@Jusdin057 thanks mate! I was actually planning on riding the corkscrew (or what ever it ends up being called) for this video because I had planned for the build edit to be finished long before this one. But rain has sadly delayed. I have since given it a test ride and I gotta say it is awesome!!!
And yeah I am really loving the Marin. I feel a bit better on jumps. I think it's a bit shorter than my Norco so I get a better pop. I haven't taken it down any chunky stuff though. If it ever stops raining I'll get it out into some rock gardens.
@@cutlaps sounds like you need a (optional?) rock garden line on your trail
This video is incredible! The production quality of it is off the charts! It's extremely interesting. I love how you are able to show how you take advantage of these trees that have fallen in nature to make them fun while also helping to clean up. You're not destroying the forest, you're just maintaining and beautifying it, while also having fun. Awesome work!
Thanks John! I'm really stoked you found it so interesting. It's so nice to be able to spend my free time out in the forest getting creative. And we have plenty of large trees that have fallen over and need to be cleaned up, so you can expect even more fun wooden features in the future. Thanks for watching.
My favourite bit is all the natural features and resources being repurposed rather than just completely trashed and throw away. Such a cool build, been awesome watching it all come together.
Cheers Chris! We have had some really wet weather and strong winds lately which has brought down some big trees. It feels good to be able to give them new life as a MTB feature. Thanks for watching.
I wish i had a backyard that big. Nice job.
We do too! Haha!
Thanks for showing us your trails Luke! We thing the eddy or dust devil for the new feature!
Cheers guys! I like the Dust Devil but its more muddy than dusty with all this rain at the moment! 😂
Insane! I don't know what I love more: riding this trial or watching your vids. Both are incredible!
So good riding and building the trail with you. Need to get you back when it's not raining.
The dog makes it so better😊😊❤❤
Thank you for hearting my comment I love your vids and I’m building a bike track at home
With the trail being called Snake Run, your new feature needs to be called "The Coil". Or "Ready to Strike".
Oh true! It does look like a snake curled up ready to strike. I'll add them to the list to choose from. Thank you
The snail jump ? Really like the video! I wish I had a trail in my back yard!
Twisted sister! Is the perfect name dude, awesome video, super naturally talented bloke you are!
Thanks mate! I love the name. It just reminded me that I haven't listened to Twisted Sister for ages. Cranking them on Spotify now.
Luke you killed it. Sic trail, sic Bike, sic edit.
Thanks Mike! Really pumped to have this edit out!
That last feature is a “Kreisel”
{cry-sel}
German for gyro. It is the name of a turn found on some bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton tracks around the world. It is a single continuous curve which turns far enough around that the track must go under itself on the exit of the curve.
Pretty sick trail mate! Such a good spot. Plenty of area and angle.
Call the new feature “The Twisty”. Keep up the sic work!
Now I'm craving a pack of Twisties! Thanks for watching.
Awesome Luke! Still loving the inclusion of the trail dog too!!!
Hahah shes the star! I thought I would give her her own section in this video. Thanks for watching Adam.
I loved all the Aggie parts!
This production quality is great
Luke's production is top notch! He uses a cable cam for a lot of his shots, which is suepr cool!
Thank you! It's a lot of work out there filming myself riding so I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
Best in class!
The dog is so cute, you can clearly see he loves being with you and loves the outdoors!
11:05 360 death fall/trust fall, since new people might look at that and be like ‘nah mate’ +me😂
Epic Luke …. Keen to come down before or just after Christmas 🤙🏼
That would be a great Collab!
@@bikesonline have you seen my content?
Nice vid and trail construction . - Ken
bro this is sick cant wait to see that cork screw drop thingy :D
Thanks mate! I can't wait to share the next build video. It's my best by far! Stay tuned.
@@cutlaps i definitely will
What a colab with the best trail building channel around. And that new feature looks sooooo good. The Taipan twister?
Ooooh nice one... keeping the snake theme going! Are you going to be able to ride the trail with your new found fear of snakes?
The snake theme is good! There is a curl snake and a bandy bandy, which might fit too!
@@cutlaps haha I’ll get over it mate.
Curl Drop
Aussie ingenuity right there. Bloody ripper.
Yeiwwww thanks mate.
Awesome Luke congratulations on getting some exposure/recognition 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Craig! I am very excited at the moment. Finding it hard to concentrate on anything else haha.
Skitz trail! So sick!
SKITTTZZZZZ! Yeiww
once you get the pigtail ready to ride, I'm betting that will be your favorite feature
Best one i’ve seen so far!
Thanks Hayden! I need to get out there and build some new features.
nicely done mate wicked legend you are!... "snail berm drop" maybe??
Thanks mate! It does look like a snail but it needs a lot of speed! Maybe the Turbo Snail? What do you think of that?
@@cutlaps yeah turbo snail drop !!!👍
The Whirl Overlap looks awsome
Agreed!
Love it. How about the gravitron for the new feature
Oh yeah like one of those fair ground rides that you stick to the wall!
Great segment. I remember racing the bump a couple n grind in the late '90s, floating this section these, only two flat in the following downhill section. There was a loose piece of that shale rock that punctured my front tire. Humbling to make it through blood rock well only to be taken out by a flat, straight section.
Great trails!
Thanks for sharing!!
So good I'd love ro ride your trail keep up the good work mate love your content could call the new feature the snake drop
Cheers Glenn. Yeah it would be good to keep the trail snake related. I'm not sure if I even mentioned it in the video but the trail is called Snake Run, so the Snake Drop would work well.
@@cutlaps yeah you mentioned it im sure some great names will rare their head in the comments
@@glennlivermore9120 There has been a lot! I think I will choose my favourites and then have a community vote in a week or two.
Sensational Luke, how good to see it from top to bottom 🤙The Supreme backyard trail. Amazing the skill, design & effort you have put in mate. Massive Kudos 👋👋👋 Congrats, you should be so stoked 🤟
Thanks Luke! I am extremely stoked. And I can't wait to do another top to bottom video in a few months when the full trail is finished. I have some big plans for that bottom section. Thanks for watching!
that 034 though! 🔥
Thats dads chainsaw that I would borrow before I got my own. I'm pretty sure he got it the year I was born! Still going strong! 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome building! 💪 Have fun out there! 👌😝
Cheers! It's so much fun, and I have so many more trails planned, this is only the beginning. Thanks for watching.
So rad, cheers from Calgary, Alberta
I love the stomp jump
Brilliant. We need more of this. Feature name .. "Mad As A Cut Snake"
The next thing you should build is a .. Donation Box, and then invite your local MTB community to come and try. Your place looks sick.
and Cut Snake for short. That works because the drop is like where the snake has been cut in half! Good name. Haha I like the donation box idea 😂. Thanks for watching Paul!
Noodling with a few names, (bad ones included for possible spin off names)
Spiral Sender
Toilet Bowl Drop 💩
Spiral Sail
Spiral Drop
Drop the Spiral
Spiral Dropy (Spiral Jetty)
Rip Curl
Loop-de-loo
Loop-de-drop
“Spinning like a drop” (top)
Spin-a-drop
Jaw Drop (my reaction to the feature)
“A drop in the spiral” (bucket)
Spin off
Dammmm Matt! So many good names! I have no idea how I am going to choose. I'll probably have to put together a list and have a community vote!
@@cutlaps haha thanks, idk if any are good 😂 I’m the king of cheesy names I’ll email you a list of MTB terms I use for for ideas on funny Strava segment names.
You should name that new feature the Nautilus.
Oh yeah thats a good one. I had to have a quick google to see what they looked like and it is pretty much the exact same shape!
Same here, this chat feed is so educational
Awesome trail! Thanks for sharing. Call the new feature, “Snake Bowl”.
Such an awesome video!👌🏻
Cheers dude! So pumped to have this one out.
the dog on the stump drop is adorable 2:16
I love you cutlaps. I’ve watched you for months and every time you uploaded a video I would go watch it in any situation I was in!
That new corkscrew feature is off tap!!!
Just wait until you see the build and ride video! The landing is nuts (at the moment at least)...
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
Just found this guys channel earlier this week he's rad, love the insight as someone new to the Australian trail building industry.
Thats cool you found my channel earlier this week. I try to share as much info as I can while I'm out there learning. Cheers for watching.
@@cutlaps Thanks for the top notch vids mate 👍
Wow amazing work, we need more people like you out there.
Agree with that sentiment! 🤙
Cool dog too
This is awesome! 🤙
It’s crazy how they come up with these cool creations.
Cheers for watching. I guess I'm a little bit obsessed and building trail features is all I can think about now haha.
awesome build dude!
Wow!!!! This video and trail is incredbile.
Super video! I’ve been building trails on my 110 acres here in Pa for a few years here. I did this same thing here with chicken ramps/bridges… but I’m not allowed to remove them because some of my some of friends never can clear the gap! Hoping to build a pump track but I need to find out the optimal geometry. That 270 berm is so creative!
Hey Joe! Thanks for watching. Sounds like you have a pretty fun backyard as well. I build my chicken bridges so they can easily be removed without any screws. So depending on who's riding the trail its easy to put them back in place. A pump track would be cool! I owuldn't mind building one as well. And you're right there is very specific geometry needed to make them work well. I have seen some pretty useful guides to building optimal rollers on google.
I am very impressed I would love to ride that
Love it - well done
Thanks Stuart! It's been a lot of fun out there and still nowhere near finished.
yeeewh! Day 1 to now its crazy how far its come!
Its wild hey! I found footage of the trail the other day of when the only thing I had done was rake it in. No digging at all. It looks like a completely different trail now. Thanks for watching Johnny!
@@cutlaps bloody unreal!
Ill always keep watching mate!
@@JohnnyThe_G thanks mate! I've seen you have some new trail building videos. I haven't had a chance to watch them yet but I'm keen.
@@cutlaps Pretty bland atm but ive got alot more motivated to get them going better soon enough :D thank you bro
That's absolutely amazing! Greetings from Germany!
Maaate what an absolutely outstanding trail... you are trail talented... if I had land you would be my first call.. well done mate.. absolutely love it
Dude that is awesome to hear! Thank you. Stoked you enjoyed my video and trail. Still a lot more to build and plenty of room for more trails.
New feature, the Cutlaps "Cutback".
i like how to dog is in almost every shot at the beggining
That place is the dream! Loving your channel name as well!
Yeiwww thanks for watching!
How about naming the new feature Porkie's Tail? You built a sick riding park. Thanks for sharing.
one word awesome matey
So sick when your done with the trail plz open it it looks so fun and nice to ride
Thanks for tuning in!
Amazing that is your trail.
Your new feature maybe call it the (VOLSHOOT)
A volute is a shape that can in natural a lot in ferns all sorts, but also inside pumps that’s the pattern.
Also old buildings is something come across a lot (I do masonry). Soon as saw your feature thought that.
Nice one go steady Sam
What an epic back yrd 👌. Done an awesome job building it up with the features you added and done a tastefully job of it.
looks great champ well done! giving me some inspiration for my own trails - thanks legend!
Very cool! If you have any photos or videos of your trail send them my way. I would love to see them.
11:25
The snail bro..
I do not know about your track, but the backyard is amazing
I am incredibly lucky! Except the creek is flooded at the moment so I can't get across to it!
Awesome work Luke, you've come along way. Well done on the collab with bikes online 👍
Yeiwww thanks buddy. I was pretty stoked with this one.
Awesome. Not a rider, but I enjoyed that.
Thats really cool to hear! Thanks for watching.
Dude Doggos tail would be a sick name because some dogs tails and curly or shaped like that.
Oh Doggos Tail is actually a pretty good name. Aggie the trail dog loves sitting on it, and she was born with a deformed tail which had to be surgically removed. So this feature could be her long lost tail!
@@cutlaps Pro team work, thats super sad man your dog is so lively and cool i totally think that name would rock. Have a good day bro i hyped for more trail updates
Awesome trail. great features and looks like great flow.
What a brilliant trail.
That looks amazing mate!! When i see the amount of space youve got my mind is going from left to right with ideas to build.
Keep up the good work ✊🏻 greetingz from Holland!!
bro this is insane
Name idea for the 360 drop: Whirlpool
This may be the most jealous I've ever been.
More wood features bro!!! Looks awesome so far, lots of real fun idea's. Love the new piece in construction.
You have sooooo much good wood around you!!! USE IT!😂
Haha thanks dude! Check out the channel, lots of wood builds since this video was filmed.
I wonder if I can nominate this for Video of the Year? - So cool!
You did an awesome job man. This trail looks sick. Keep up the good work bro. Cheers 🍻
Loved the traiL, would've loved to have helped with the building, it's mind blowing to think that some lucky rider may have this preciousness in the sorrounding of his home🙄🤯😋🤤. Respect from a👌🏻🙋🏻♂️🇵🇹 watching all the way from 🇳🇱.
Thats so cool you are watching all the way from the Netherlands! I consider myself incredibly lucky to be able to build and ride in such a beautiful backyard.
Dude!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
That looks mint!
Yeiwwww thanks Vic
Twist and pull
you should name it “the snakes tail” or “the rattler” to match the trail name.
Great names! I think you are right, keeping the snake theme is a good idea.
Snaketail (like Sharkfin) would be a sweet name!
You could even theme the planks to look like rattles (wrong snake, and yes very Backyard Trails Seth thing to do, which his stuff is awesome)
Great work man!!
Thank you! So much fun out there.
@@cutlaps 🤙
Really cool! it looks absolutely insane I got inspiration to start building a mtb track after riding my schools one.
Super awesome wish i could ride it amazing build n design
I just was scrolling and sore this and I love this guy now he’s doing great 👍
Thanks Taj! Channel is starting to take off which is awesome.
It is the ultimate!
And if it isn't already, it will be soon!
The loop over, you go around the loop and then jump over it, the loop over, much love and respect nice trail ride I love it build a set of pump rollers up and down over and over about 12 of them just before a nice jump or a steep 360 Burm with a steap inbank ment you can trust all the speed going around it fast G forse you really feel in the turn. Love and respect from the bay area California Larry vanbrunt jr.
🙌🙌🙌
Sick. Awesome work
Thanks mate!
If you want to go with a 🐍 theme, Indy's Demise might be cool (Indiana Jones hated snakes) as well. Keep sheddin.
Nice job and nice video bro !
Great content bikesonline!
All credit to @cutlaps!
the trail looks sick
Step up out of the last Gully has to be there....Nice work Luke.
Still haven't got around to building it but it's on the list.
🙌
Such a sick trail! Ive been following cutlaps for quite some time now and I think this is one of the few backyard trails that I too would want too and be able too ride!
Yes!!!! Thank you. Yeah I think my backyard trail is a bit different to the others on TH-cam because of the amount of space I have to work with. I can have a much longer trail with some really nice flow and a variety of features. Thanks for all your support.
On the jumps you could add some engraving on to the wood to add more grip even!
That's a great idea!
