- We built a boring gravel road and changed Berm Peak forever!
Today, we’ll build a gravel road at the very bottom of Berm Peak, so that we can use the driveway to climb back up to the top. For the first time, we’ll be able to ride all the way to the bottom of the trail system, and climb back up all on a mountain bike. Here to help us today are Kevin, James, and Alexander.

I never thought that watching someone build a road was so interesting and fun to watch
NTD MTB I know right. I also have a channel if you want to see it if not that’s fine to thanks👍
Rough.
that’s not very nice me and my brother spend a long time making them
Ok I’ll stop
@@lakesidelaunchers4307 you've said that to me twice and yet...
"I hope you enjoyed building this gravel road with us this week."
You know damn well I did, Seth.
All of Seths content is quality
St3v3Mudd I know he has inspired me to make good content
Road makers: create a road
Everyone:
Seth: creates a road
Everyone: interested for the whole video
This describes my feelings exactly
cron has
Certainly makes it a lot more interesting than when I do it at work every day.
Thebluefister I am uploading a video tomorrow on my channel if you want to check it out?
Seth at start of Berm Peak: I want to keep as much of the landscape intact as possible
Seth now: haha excavator go brrrrr
Does Seth live at berm peak sorry I'm new to this channel?
@@darraghking635 yes its on his property around his house
Darragh King yes
Darragh King he does live on berm peak
And is his mountain biking park open to the public
Seth’s “boring” is my best built jump😂
Same
SAKITHA GURUGE 😂😂😂😂
Hell yes.
Ya I know
In the next video “installing a chairlift on berm peak”
otto fontaine lmao fr
Food for thought
This. Needs. To. Happen!
Ha! Was going to say the same, Seth seems to be upping his game with every episode, next logical step is to install a lift!
Just came on to comment the same thing but you beat me to it. There must be a few of us thinking it, come on Seth it is inevitable.
3:40 "It's astonishing how few questions they ask before delivering a death arm to your house. I'm glad to be alive in this moment in history"
Seth on 2020.
When he moves out he’s not selling his house with a bike trail he’s selling a bike trail with a house
😂😂😂
On the intro video he says he plans on dying here.
He won’t be leaving berm peak ever
Seth could narrate himself eating a sandwich and it'd still be the most entertaining video i've watched all week.
don't give him any ideas !
That's a great idea Seth! Eat a sandwich next time you narrate.
Anderson Cooper Legit 👍
You must not be a true Seth Bike Hacks fan or else you would know he would be eating a taco 😉.
Yeah probably
Seth needs to start a series where he just sits down and talks about anything he wants to talk about. I’d watch it.
its called a podcast!
He should go on Joe Rogans podcast
@@anthonyouzounian3574 fuk joe rogan
So a podcast
It would be the first (good) podcast that has to do with mountain biking
I love how when Seth is talking about the mini excavator he comes across like a kid excited about a new toy.
Anthony R I have a channel if ya want to check it out?
That's what it is. A big toy.
Everyone: "Excavator"
Seth: *_"Deadly mechanical arm!"_*
10 years later: so we built a gondola
An Egg underrated comment
Edit: not so underrared anymore
K
12 years later: so we re-created whistler park
Wtf is that
Shut up f***you
Seth has no idea just how close we both came to our demise in that final clip. I almost went OTB braking so hard to keep from T-boning him as he exited Elmer 😱
You make his videos better
@@georgeoliver8300
He's not wrong tho, Seth + Alex is the combo for the ages.
Seth’s the only dude I know who can make paving a gravel road the most interesting video I’ve seen all day.
Seth: i love being alive at this moment in history
Coronavirus: [visible confusion]
James is extremely knowledgeable on this stuff wow. Alexander has been a huge help as well, good team work.
I love how Alex still has that jersey, reminds of his shoulder.

You guys have THE BEST life. This all looks so much fun. Because of your videos, I now have a life goal of building a backyard mountain bike park/paths like you guys.
Hey Seth! I just bought a “real mountain bike” and the entire journey to get to this point has been watching your vids. When I first started watching your vids I couldn’t even jump a curb, and now I jump huge jumps. I own a dirt bike now, and you’ve motivated me to build a pump track in my backyard. Keep up the great work Seth.
Somebody get Seth a home improvement TV show. He is way more entertaining then the shows on TV.
Cool Film Movies yep. All they talk about is “oh we’ll put a bench there to spruce that up a bit” and here Seth is building a whole TRAIL SYSTEM and riding it.
This *is* his home improvement TV show. Would you really watch it anymore if it were on traditional TV?
Why would you kill the potential of your career by switching to the dying format of tv
A_swish West true
Who even watches TV anymore?
4:12 Kevin’s belt is rapidly becoming useless
Amazing job, the expert advise was amazing, glad you considered the trees and roots during this 🤗🙌
for some reason this is my favourite vid on the channel ive watched it five times and would love more of this kind of content! thank you!
I’ve literally watched every single one of your videos from start to finish :)
Ikr same
Dialed in Mtb same
Dialed in Mtb I have a channel if you want to see it if not that’s fine to. Thanks
Me too!
Dialed in Mtb same
sometimes I forget he's a mountain biking channel. It feels like I'm watching a renovation show on HGTV
Yes lol
Ben Kearney I have a build channel I post every Thursday.👍👍
Lakeside Launchers dude. You replied on every comment
Nice job Seth. James and his staff at Squatch were awesome when we visited Brevard last spring. Good to see you're keeping him busy and plugging his shop. We're missing our trip down to Pisgah from Canada but your videos are tiding us over till next year.
Hey Seth did you know you can get rust off the metal parts of your bike with aluminium foil and white vinegar just fold the foil on the shiny side and spray or dip the foil in white vinegar then rub hard on the rusty bit and then it will come off
Seth is the only guy who could make a video about building a straight forward gravel road and still make it interesting
Ever heard of Andrew Camarata.
Because he can make a hour long video about building a gravel road and it is still interesting.
every friday is the freekin best coz of seth
jackson tiger Tell me about it!! That’s what I’m waiting for!! 😁
Yes
So true
jackson tiger ain’t that the truth
I agree I also have a channel and post every Thursday
James from Squatch is an awesome dude. I’ve joined their shop ride a few times when traveling in the area for work... the whole Squatch crew is supper welcoming and have bailed me out of a few mechanical situations along the way!
After every video, I wonder how Berm Peak could possibly get better.
Then every new video it gets so much better.
Also, I don't know how you make tedious work look so fun, and pay off as much as it does.
That's some miracle work from hard work and determination right there.
Honestly an amazing trail system, I'm glad I can watch you having fun building and riding the amazing results.
watching this guy and cleetus mcfarland has made my quarintine
Dude yes
hell yeah brother
That’s the truth
Check out Matt Jones YT channel. Also mountain bike. But lots of crazy jumps by a Red Bull rider. so yeah.
Hell yeah brother! Month of freedom has been great so far.
Seth-I won’t ever use big machines in the forest
Seth 5 months later-I have to find a way to bring the excavator in the forest
I was searching the comments to see if anyone else had commented this 😂😂
I remember that. **confused bulldozer sounds
I have a channel and if you would check it out I would appreciate it
Lakeside Launchers I did I will sub can you sub to me
Its just a little machine
I am very certain that seth's videos would entertain anyone who is watching it like i literally can't stop watching his videos. Not to mention his voice and the way he speaks and explains everything that two of the major things keeps us watching his videos
I often said to myself it would be nice to have a friend like Seth, then I come to my senses really fast as he would put me to work every weekends with my building experience lol. I rather like watching you guys work and reap the rewards. Well done guys, Job's a Gooden!
It's cool how fast everything is coming together. Only 3 months ago you were making he driveway jump.
Seth's the luckiest person cause while in quarantine he's got a work palce like Castle Braap, friends like Kevin and Alex, rascal like Oscar, an angel like Drama and the most important he's got an entire trail system at his place...Man your lucky...
He had a much different life into his adulthood before all of this...just think how far his channel has come since his Florida hack videos on a simple bike and urban rides. He earned it with some solid effort. Happy to have been a part of his journey...even if through a screen.
Thanks for these videos. I sorely miss my Volunteer Trail Stewards work days; trail 12 is in desperate need of rehabbing after last summer's logging, and our last work day, back in Feb., was brutal; it was 6" of peanut butter-textured mud, and we didn't come close to finishing. Also, +1 for crushed rock! It literally armors the trail.
Inspiring stuff Seth, killer work!
I’m so bored in quarantine that it rained yesterday and I rode my trails and jumps and created ruts and destroyed the faces so I can have something to do without going crazy. Love your videos Seth.
Well you're an idiot

Seth‘s bike hacks
He must have completely forgot about COVID-19
@@keatonvandergreft4896 a period of time is a bit longer than the few years that we will have to live with Corona.
There's no Corona in the forest
You could always use the wood chipper thing. Save the little chips that are cut up. And any spots on trails that are either too soft or just need a little help for riding, put the little chips there. It helps the soil kinda keep shape a little. Helps texture for riding and it’ll look good.
The last gravel road was the first and maybe my (3rd or 4th) favorite video of yours so it was fun to see you do it again, its not boring and i love each and every one of your videos, you got me into mountain biking and keep up the good work ;)
When you first started with these videos I didn't realize how much I would enjoy them! Keep up the good work!
This is amazing and quite honestly inspirational. A kid from Long Island has a vision and a dream and making it reality. All it takes is hard work, but anything worth doing takes hard work! Well done Seth and keep it coming! Oh ..and I notice Alex bailed on that feature!!😂
“Bring out the biggest boulders you have” Seth- “So what you saying is I should bring out the biggest boulders I have?”
I've been watching since I purchased my first mountian bike a few weeks ago. I really enjoy everything about your videos. So far I have built several features in my back yard now and today I sent the three drops I built. Thank you
I’ve been trying to find some other good MTB channels but there’s just something about Seth’s that just seem so like able and fun to watch.
Andrew Thornton-Sherman Matt Jones is good as well
Andrew Thornton-Sherman I have a channel if you want to check it out?
Lakeside Launchers got it thanks!
I can’t believe I’m watching this at 6:14 am in the Morning rn
xxvolticYT worth it
Just dropped a video
Even boring is fun on Berm peak. I've got my own "Berk Hill" going in my backyard. A 2 foot deck and roll-in, a wooden roller, a dirt roller, and a berm at the bottom. The more dirt I can get from a local landscaper the more we will grow it. I've got an almost 6 year old who can rip it all, a 4 year old on a balance bike and a 2 year old on a balance bike who I help down all the obstacles. Thanks for the inspiration!
As you can see in the video, building a trail is not easy as most people thought, that's why these trail builders deserve to be heroes. You have my gratitude.🏅
When you can make an interesting video about building a gravle road you know you are doing something right.
Places where Seth will eventually make a berm or feature:
0:00 - 11:52
Fuck you got me... And I lost where I was :p
been watching your videos for a while now and I went mountain biking today for the first time, and needless to say... i’m hooked
"I just love being alive at this particular moment in history". Amen to that brother! It seems like the tools people need to make an idea reality today are right under thier nose!
Seth, you might want to get a hydraulic cargo bin. For the Gitor
Today we’re going to do something a little different
Although, kind of the same
@@wcmybdbdjhj nice, I usually hate self promotion but your channel is descent tbh
Hey hey, I don’t wanna take credit for starting this whole “diff but kind of the same” stuff per say… buuuuuutttt he did start saying it every time after this. 🤔🤔🤔🤭🤭🤭🤭
Seth you are one of the best you tubers out there, no one can deny. You inspired me greatly to make a channel and see what happens
Been with this channel for a long time. Still love it
Girls: boys have never been sad
Boys: thanks for riding with me today and I'll see you next time.
You should name the chipper “grandpa chip”
Raymond or “wicked chippa”
Raymond I have a channel if you would check it out I would really appreciate it
Seth narrates so well he could be talking about a hotdog and a would still enjoy it. He has inspired me to make my own videos.
A very satisfying project. I am all the way over in Perth Western Australia and an old(50) broken downhiller. I am loving your channel mate :)
I love how all of Seth's features come out perfect. But, when I try to build some features they turn out so bad!
Mine are way to sketchy so I only ride them once
Ye 😂me to
Hear hear
@@sebastiendoucet06 Same here! Seth's "boring" gravel road is more advanced than my trails will ever be!
There were some bad features/injuries as a result of his earlier builds. Mistakes happen, you adjust and try again.
Seth every time you post ai video I am like “I am speed”love you’re vids. And stay safe 😷
I don’t know Me I love them to he inspired me to make my own channel
Lakeside Launchers you make good content I’m gonna subscribe
I don’t know Me haha same
Thanks really appreciate it
Lakeside Launchers no problem like you’re vids ther good.
This video was so fun to watch! Keep up the good work and projects!
Really dope to see the evolution of this channel. Went from How To Bunny Hop a Curb in a Miami Parking Lot to How to Build Your Own MTB Mecca. Really good stuff man! Keep it up!
it's all really starting to come together now, looking good :)
I’m surprised Seth’s neighbors are ok with him building a gravel road off of their shared driveway.
I'm quite sure that he asked them for approval before building that ;)
also why should it be a problem? The driveway is not affected by the gravel road the way they build it.
It seems like Seth suggested (near the start of the video) that he spoke to them and they are somewhat involved. Such as the mention of zigzaging the path.
I agree though, that's a lot going on for a shared private road.
Most neighbours are good neighbours! Especially with friendly neighbours!
I'm really enjoying watching you guys build Berm Peak, it kind of feels like we are there. Thanks for making that happen.
I enjoyed the Laurel plucking! I had 20 or so around my house that I removed by hand! Now I know the right way to do it!!
Watching this in my Seth’s Bike Hacks t shirt which is by far my most comfortable t shirt.

love watching your videos. especially the progress on berm peak. thanks for sharing. much love from New Zealand.👍😊
Why don’t you install a hydraulic piston on the gator? It would make dumping so much easier.

I check ur channels many times a day. I just have to say I look forward to ur videos all day long and when I have a bad day somehow u all ways post a video on that day. Thank you
quick tip if your levelling out some space and you want it level then ask the company your hire the excavator from if you can have a grading bucket and its a flat bucket made for levelling out areas
“It’s mostly grunt work” *shows clip of Alex raking gravel* lol
Not to mention the end clip of Alex running into the tree. Hahaha
Yeah exactly???
Did anyone else’s eyes see the hill as straight downhill at 10:30 or just me?
Me 2
Yes
yea that's what I thought
maybe a Illusion?
WoofWoof Madness yeah it is, once I reconfigured my thinking, I saw it as uphill. Have a look at the angle of the trees, especially on the left. That should help.
I can’t tell you how fascinated I am with Berm Peak and your awesome videos. BP is like a biker’s nirvana. I look forward to watching its progression. Thank you for your hard work.
Of course another awesome video!! One small criticism i have is that the wood-chips are great for preventing erosion, they will also prevent new plant growth due to the lack of sunlight. But I love the vid man not trying to throw any shade😂
i never would have thought i would be so interested in a guy making a gravel
trail
Neighbor-"I need you to get me 4 of the biggest bolders you have"

Love your videos Seth your video about mtb helping depression really helped me get through my brothers death recently. Thank you for making these videos.
This is some phenomenal cinematography!
How is his bike shop quite, my local bike shop is swamped with people buying bikes
Wesley Alth you most likely live in a somewhat densely populated area and with this whole quarantine thing many people have been going outside for bike rides and walks. His town seemed smaller than other towns so I guess most people already have bikes or something like that.
Our local shop here in my Colorado city was only open for repairs. They weren't allowed to sale merchandise. Slowly the restrictions have started to lift, but there was a good month maybe even 5 weeks, where it was repair only.
@@Lost_9o1 I'm thinking you're right, I live in the suburbs right outside NYC in New Jersey and bike shops are the basically the only stores allowed to be open and are all busy. I've heard many are selling bikes faster than they can get them in and customers coming in to get older bikes tuned up are through the roof.
5 day wait for me to get my brakes serviced in Portland bike shop 🤷🏻♂️
People are buying bikes like crazy, even in germany and online. A friend of mine was looking for a new bike and they are all sold out, with waiting times of like 8 weeks. On a local trail where I usually see like 3 people, last week I saw about 30 and all of them men in their mid 50s on shiny new bikes with 0 idea what they are doing lol. I'll stick with the more challenging trails for now because they're as empty as ever
Seth is so cute, still such a city boy. "terrifying mechanical death arm in vivid 3D" Someone up in North Carolina take him to open cast mine and blow his mind with a mining excavator like a 200 ton Komatsu pc 2000. Lmao.
P. S Doubletrack? Is that what we common folk call a "road" ;)
Yep, we call em, Fire Roads.
In the uk it’s called fire road( fire engines would be able to get to the trails)
Good to know, tiger.
In Australia they are called fire trails
In America we also call them fire roads, I think of double track as really wide trail, not packed gravel
After watching many years of TH-cam content, going from Casey Neistat, to Demolitian ranch. I have found a new favorite channel! The story telling is amazing! The only thing I miss is things about the house. Keep up the good work!

Love how he narrates and managers to get his friends to "assist" in building his bike park.
Bloody brilliant 👌
Great episode! On your long driveway, the steepest portion, consider adding a rope tow off on one side. Control it with a garage door clicker. Click on hang on and ride it up :-)

Fuck yeah. Several month long vacation, then most of my college classes are online
Rafael Malmegrin How bout the many dozen thousands of people who have died to the flu in Brazil?
He could honestly sell tickets to ride here lmao
a cascading technical rock garden style section would be rad, not sure where it'd fit in but something to change the seemingly fast pace of the rest of berm peak might be nice, cant help but think of it with those giant boulders you guys were working with.
you truly are an inspiration to me and you have inspired me to create a channel dedicated to called BMX Derek! Keep up the amazing work you already do man!
