Building & Riding a Gnarly Backyard Rock Garden

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- Berm Peak is missing one thing: Rocks! How I chose a property with no rocks to build mountain bike trails on is beyond me. I didn’t even know dirt with no rocks in it was even a thing. In any case, we’re taking matters into our own hands today, bringing in some rocks, and placing them by hand to build a rock garden! Rock gardens are a mainstay in mountain biking, and we’re really excited to finally have one here on Berm Peak. Enjoy the toil!

I love how Seth rages on his bike
The tire hitting the tree and bouncing back lol
I laughed out loud, Seth is an honest man
I have that prophile pic yaaaay
Rifty
I thought we were going to have an Akrigg moment :D ..... bike flying over the tree's in frustration
Seth is so entertaining I would go to the movie theater to watch this!!
true
Yo dude
Same
Hey what up lakeside
Lakeside Launchers YES
Seth: *moves into new houses*
The dirt merchant: 'stonks'
I laughed so hard when seths bike ricocheted off the tree😂
8:14
lol yep
Panda_Pr0ductions 2:30 but still laughed. It was too funny
only 130 for me
Me to
Came to the comment section for this 😂😂
3:07
Me and the boys rolling the biggest snowball in the schoolyard
Its sad cause my school keeps us inside to avoid snow wars
@Icyy Here in the state of misery we get both.
I don’t even know why I like these videos so much I don’t even ride. They are just really entertaining
Never done mtb myself but Seth is easily my favourite youtuber!
these videos got me into mountain biking its awesome.
you should rent an mtb and see if u enjoy it.
I started after watching seth!
Get a nice used bike and get out! It’s the greatest thing you’ll ever do
Seth has inspired me and so many others to get out in nature and build
Got me into mtb best choice for my health maybe lol
he is legit the reason i’m building a trail rn even tho i have a pretty small yard 😂
Lakeside Launchers your channel is sick I subbed
Same
Nice
Just like they say: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure! Been waiting for a rock garden build!
Fax
Haha
One man's garbage is another mans good ungarbage
Seth, great filming and editing. Love the rock garden climbing challenge and the moments of frustration. Very real. Keep the superb content rolling.
Hi Seth !!
if you're reading this I just want you to know that I think you you are the reason I started mountain biking you were the reason I found so much during these hard times and you were the reason that I wake up in the morning get on my phone and smile every Sunday when I see that you have a new awesome video 😁 I started on a mongoose and there's your channel progressed so did I no I want to giant talon you taught me how to hack my bike country care of it in proper etiquette out on the trails you are one of the most persistent funny video ever had the pleasure of watching so back to my original point if you're reading this I would just like you to know, thank you
Ur vids r sick man keep up the good work
Hey Seth, just wanted to say that, especially during these times, you're awesome for continously putting out high quality enjoyable videos and I absolutely love your content
“Decided to save that victory for another day” hands down the greatest growth mindset line I’ve ever heard!
Seth looked like he was ready to launch his bike down the hill when trying to climb that garden 😂😂
Seeing him on the verge of chucking that bike down the hill was the most relatable thing ever
@@viisI just wanted to scream at Seth to man up and pedal that bike harder! But I have seen his handling skills and balance to know it's not a matter of strength, finding the line, or the like. I think the slope of that hill is deceptive and they kept stalling out. But also, his frustration was definitely palpable.
I know i would've
@@adrienpickard7767 it's what happens when you go down waaaaay more than you go up.
I know
Hey Seth. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos man. I have been away from biking for about 15 years and just got back into it. I have been browsing at what has been available for the last couple months an there is slim pickings available unless you have thousands to drop on a bike which I dont. And I have been watching a bunch of your videos and they have got me really excited to get back into it. So since I have always been a hardtail guy I went ahead and bought my first new Diamondback in over 30 years. I used to own several Diamondbacks as a teenager and loved those bikes. Then as an adult I just got basic mountain bikes nothing really nice. A bunch of those actually. The only one nice for me mtb I had was Giant 870 with rockshox that got stolen from me 15 years ago and that was the last time I had a bike. Im 51 now and survived 2 heart attacks in a 4 year period. The last one I had was in 2017. I need to seriously get in shape and im not a gym type guy. Tried that didnt work for me. So im back to riding a bike and its whooping my butt just riding around my neighborhood. I sure missed that burn in my body riding a bike lol. Its great that you are such a huge fan of Diamondback and they totally support what you do as well. Just got off of their facebook page and you are all over it. Thats awesome man. Well im all in now and ive already picked out a full squishy Diamondback for my next one later in the year. Once I get used to being back on a bike ill be able to get to some easy trails here in louisiana. Not anything like what you do but hey its a start. And my health should greatly improve doing something I really enjoy. Thanks again dude love your videos. Oh yeah tell them guys over at Diamondback to get some merch back im dying to buy some shirts or something.
If you think this looks tough. Just think about how all those rocks get placed so meticulously into steps when you are 10 miles from the trailhead and somewhere above tree line. It's hard work but really fun too. I recommend anyone who rides or hikes get involved in trail maintenance organizations
Seth: these mtb attachments are weird
Also Seth: I got a massage attachment for my jigsaw!
Dude, si many times I get offers of this message pulsators and you can get one AND a jigsaw included in a home depo?
Luca Benvenutto what
@@benve_luca area you italian?
when I wrote this comment Grammarly said it's tone was disapproving and I was like nooooooo I didn't mean it that way Grammarly
Never say thanks for the likes that is forbidden in the comments you comment something good you leave it that way
I love how Seth always adds a minute or two of just riding and nature after he says bye. It just shows how awesome the video was and how much work went into it.
:D
Lol you always know when the video is about to end when he plays that little jingle.
Its so he gets 10minutes and ads
Thats for midroll ads lmao
8:13 god I know that frustration, and the instant clap back is great.
haha same
I love watching Seth transform the property. It was a serendipitous situation that he had completed the move to the new place and when the lockdown occurred he had the perfect opportunity to hole-up with Alex and build. But I feel that WE are the true beneficiaries. So many you-tubers have scaled-back their production. Thank you, Seth, for forging on!
Seth is the guy who has teached me every thing i know about mtb stuuf. I am a huge fan
Mad Seth is the funniest shit I've seen in a while
Ikr lol
In one of his old videos he says he likes to show when he falls and gets mad and stuff because it's real and we all do it time to time lol
8:14
כן
דורון ווליכמן agreed
8:17 that tire bounce off the tree needs to be a GIF! lol amazing
I know that poor bike
Braden Terry if you think that hurt the bike... maybe go hit some tougher trails
Dear Seth,
Thank you for not throwing me even though you may have wanted to after failing that rock garden!
Sincerely yours,
Mountain Bike
Dear Seth,
I have been a viewer of your channel ever since I saw a video of yours on how to track stand. I just wanted to send you this recipe for a “modified” pb&j burrito.
Ingredients:
1x Cliff builder bar (chocolate works best however chocolate peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter work too!)
1x large sized flour tortilla.
1x banana.
1x jar of pb (without added peanuts as to not damage the tortilla)
1x jar of jam/jelly
1/2 tbsp of protein powder. (Any flavor that you think will complement the other ingredients)
Instructions:
1. Unwrap and cut the middle of your builder bar the long ways so that you separate the rice crispy part from the flavored top.
2. Cut the banana in a similar fashion then cut it into two rectangles that when put together have a similar shape to to builder bar.
3. Put a layer of pb on the middle of your tortilla that is the same size and shape as your builder bar.
4. Sprinkle a quarter tablespoon of your protein powder onto the layer of pb.
5. Put the rice crispy portion of the builder bar on the pb bottom side down.
6. Apply j to the top of the rice crispy portion of the builder bar.
7. Put your banana slices on top of the j.
8. Put more j on top of the banana slices.
9. Put the flavored top portion of the builder bar on the j, effectively reconstructing the builder bar with j and banana in the middle.
10. Sprinkle the rest of the protein powder on the bar and then apply bp.
11. Roll it like a burrito and toast the edges (with whatever janky method you can come up with) to keep it closed.
Thanks for reading this and I hope you try it out! I’m stoked to find out how you think it tastes!
In ten years I’m sure there will be a mega ramp going over the house.
5 months*
Saxolotl 😐
@@nigel55555 still no mega ramp
no mega ramps😥
We will probably see one soon after his ankle heals
Seth! The quality of these videos drastically increased from amazing to legendary!! I think 7 uploads a month is the right choice!! The angles and shots in this video are INSANE!! Awesome job man!
Seth is definitely wishing he had that hydraulic John deer bed by now
seths collarbone: ah shit here we go again
😂 LOL 😂
this should get more likes
@@kit9993 agreed
😂
Seth, just gotta let you know that you and your videos are the reason I got started mountain biking! I saw your passion and love for the sport these past few years knew I wanted to share it. Thanks man, it's been a blast!
I just watched Seth's first video on his channel, and then a couple more which were made 5 years ago and then i came onto this one, its crazy how you've changed man, i hope you continue bringing us joy for the next 5 years and beyond!!
8:16 I lost my shit laughing. Haha
Bru
Takes class to leave a moment like that in, for the entertainment.
3:10
Same dude, same
Same that was the funnyest part lol
8:12 remember the old times when Seth would throw his bike
Yeah he got mad at an idea that his friend suggested lol
I love just waking up to a new Seth video
Definition of insanity... trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result! You’ll get the climb another day.
But he’s not trying the same thing, he’s refining his line and more pedal strokes
i haven't watched your videos in like two year but wow. i really respect what you've done with your yt channel. you've really made honest platform
Now I understand why you didn't upload a video last Friday. I have to say, this is one of the more entertaining video I ever seen from you; the part when you and Alex were taking the rock uphill, I was crying laughing like watching comedy. LOL! Keep the good content flowing, and shout-out to Alex and Kevin as well.
you are the first youtube channel i look forward to watching every week and i dont even ride mtb, thanks for the great content mate. keep it up!
Seth: rocks!
the sync'r: ah shit here we go again
the ogs get this joke.
Glad i get to watch someone else struggle this much with rocks of this size. Been doing it a lot lately with our backyard quarantine update.
It was fun to watch you guys try to climb up the rock garden. I want to congratulate you for doing what you love right on your backyard. Keep it up.
I look forward to every Friday because I know that there will be a new Seth's Bike Hacks video
Thank You
Uses a jigsaw as a massage machine. Thats the Seth we know and love!
Truuuuu haha
Same name btw
Angus Lee-Smith pretty cool dude
Call it the “Rocky Road”
I’ve been watching for years. Have never been able to buy a bike but am mesmerized by these videos and always am anticipating the next one to come out.
6:48 such beauty, such precision
Rock and roll Friday’s! 🎸
Am I the only one who noticed Seth was back to rocking the POC knee pads?
They are bigger and have more side protection so no wander he want to use it to try a new difficult obstacle.
Probably bc he’s locked at berm peak and it’s basically a home dh park
I always rock those when I ride they're great and don't shift or wander
Heh, rocking
Dexy P I did
I'm so glad i have seth's vids to watch during iso
I dont even bike anymore and I look forward to your videos every Friday and sunday! I could watch your videos all day. Great work, love the videos!
Great job Seth
That's the kind of grit a BMX sessioner would have. Still has it.
I must say Seth, you have such a talent for making videos, the b-roll mixed with music and editing is genuinely the best I've seen on TH-cam. Massive respect 🙌🙌🙌
Mad Seth and the dog bark had me dieing 😂😂
Seth's video quality is of the charts nowadays. Just amazing. Who in the world is disliking this? Just seems crazy to me.
You have a fan from Brazil 💛💚
Another great video Seth! You have inspired us to create our own MTB channel. Keep up the great work!
Here in Nevada everything is rocks, just rocks, so when we find a patch of sand big enough to make something out of it's a good surprise
My dad grew up in Reno. Mountain biked all the time. We live in Tennessee now, humid, flat. We visit the grandparents and cousins every summer, but we didn’t want our grandmother to get sick. She’s got half a lung so she would die if she got COVID, which sucks balls.
I was waiting all week!
Same
rock gardens are probably my favorite features. they are easy enough to make it through but hard to get them perfect and carry all of your speed. so fun
Brilliant! Your own bike park in the back garden. Living the dream!
5:12 what Seth said cracked me up 😂
Guys Seth is almost to 2 million subs. Let’s get him there!
I love listening to your commentary, you are a more exciting Bob Ross of mtb, keep it up
Seth (and Alexander), your videos are so good quality that is a pleasure to watch them. I really like them...
there's nothin better than a Texas rock garden!
I have to say since I found this channel I loved every single Video!
8:13 initiate angry Seth mode
I am surprised he didn't throw the bike into Narnia
Seth trying to calm down is priceless😂😂😂
That new section is sick. I like it a lot. Yall are really making Berm Peak great.
You are amazing Seth in everything you do I am so grateful to be able to watch you thank you.
Yes mate, rock gardens are just the coolest things to build ‘n ride🤙🏼
The two seths are keeping me entertained during lockdown
whos the other
Braydon Coate i think his channel is called backyard trails
@@maxkaufel4715 yeah, that's also another good youtuber
Seth next year: lets build the foam pit, some time later: lets add dirt jump line, Seth in 2022 Time to build chair lift, another year: welcome to Berm Peak Crankworks Invitational, I am here with the resort CEO, welcome Seth....
TheJohnnyViewer yea totally! I can actually see that
You are a legend Seth
As an observation... I think the small berm at the bottom was a great idea, but it makes me wonder, considering every riding shot from there after involved using that berm, whats' the point of the rocks up-slope from it? The point is, if the rock berm is the only feasible line choice through there, then maybe that part of the rock garden needs some adjustment?
Also, it's awesome that you show your not-so-good moments as well, Seth. I know you know this, but it definitely shows your humanity and makes you seem much more like the genuine person you try to portray. Keep that up.
My life during quarantine is Seth, Sam, and Matt.
Bro I love your content and you’ve inspired me to build all sorts of ramps and berms and skinnys and to buy an actual good bike. Your vids are just so entertaining and I’ve been watching you since 2017. Keep up the great content bro.
Stixy Pix u should make a vid
It is the greatest thing to watch Seth trying his hardest not to throw his bike.
Not gonna lie seths track would look awesome with a pump trail into a nice wooden kicker what a dirt landing
I am so glad you finally made a rock garden! I am sad that I have to wait another week for a video. Keep up the great work!
You need to make a feature named the jank plank, seems fitting for the style haha
The amount of work Seth does is incredible! Love his vids, keep up the good work man:)
Seth: goes out and buys rocks.
Most people: renting skid steer to dig rocks out of their property.
I can't get enough of your videos dude! Feel free to make them even longer.
You've got some really nice videography going on here, nice work!
Seth we need a tour of your trails like strap on a go pro and just ride the whole thing
Livestream a ride uncut
Give it more time id think
I would say so too
He just put in the uphill trail in Moonshangle a few weeks ago. I'm sure he'll do a tour at some point.
Great idea
Disappointed in youtube that notified me 3mins late, great vid seth!!
"I know what men can do when they're angry" 8:14
😂 you have me dead lmao
LMAO
for ms his video creation feels like I am watching a TV series.
great narration and great videography thank you for keeping me distracted on this pandemic.
I'm glad that one of his vid shows up in the recommended.
I could seriously watch you build features forever! I'm super new to mtb so this is all so interesting to me!
Seth you are the most entertaining youtuber I would pay good money to watch you.👌👍
Do you even ride mtb?
@@grifn i donnu know
8:14 🤣
Bike- Yo seth I'm done! I cant go up the hill again!
Seth- comeon we gotta do it today
oh yeah mahanth nice to see you here
2:57 "How many more times are we going to have to do that?"
"Seven more." 😂👍
These are the only videos I watch as soon as I see them and I consistently do it every video even on berm peak express I just love the videos
I can confidently say Seth is the definition of amazing content ive watched literally every video old and new for over a year at this point and the kicker is IVE NEVER EVEN MOUNTAIN BIKED ONCE but i can say he gives great advice and i would definitely do it in the future keep doin what your doing
8:12 had me dying of laughter! Keep up the good work Seth!
seth is super inspirational i wish i was like him he is my role model
That rock garden looks so real!!!
Seth has literally done so much for the sport of mountain biking like who thought a mountain bike you tuber would be trending on TH-cam
I don't even own a bike anymore, but the adventures of Seth and Alex are hands down my favorite TH-cam content.
Well done.
