Finally! We built a trail to the bottom of Berm Peak

- Today, we'll build a mountain bike trail to the very bottom of Berm Peak. My backyard trails will never be the same!
Along the way we'll get a history lesson, discuss my methodology in building this trail, and then break in the loam for the first time.
Until this COVID thing is over, we'll need to just work on the trail and not build any crazy features. Right now it's made of pillow-soft loam (not complaining) but in due time there will be jumps, pecker logs, wooden berms, and you name it.

Seth's Bike Hacks haha
Seth's Bike Hacks a cool trail name could be called Berm to Berm. It would be like a downhill run where you just keep on turning in this sweet, smooth berms.
RIP prodigy ♥️
Brits don’t know what it is
*knob
Seth 2 years ago: I have a 10 second trail in my backyard; Seth now: let’s make a full 1 minute downhill trail with a shuttle
it was probably closer to 5
yea definitely, who knows he might have a whole mtb lift up in berm peak 😂🤷♂️
in a year or two hes going to have a lift in the back yard lol
*_Florida man gets lost in his own backyard_*
More like North Carolina man
@@tisforturbo.3774 he used to live in florida
But he came from Long Island.
Sean McAdams but now he lives in North Carolina

I love how much seths progressed from just bike hacks
Or more really, from car stereo installer 😉👍
He's like the most loony toon trail blazer of all time
He built a whole mtb park in under a year
Seth, I have the tool for you. I made this shovel a while back that is the shape of a military folding shovel, but longer and with a steel handle. We call it the isak, This thing will go through anything, it is the main tool I use, and it will go through 1 inch brush in 1 swing, dig through roots and crap like it's not even there, and take out stumps in a matter of seconds. The thickets would be no problem for this tool. I have thought about sending you one many times, but idk if it would be of use to you as it is to me, as I feel like since I built it I am baised.
Is it for sale?
Seth could use that
you should probably send one.
Hats a great idea if he do3snt need it may I buy it
I love how he goes right into the building and explanation and doesn't put in a 2 minute intro like so many other channels do, It makes the videos so much better with no intro
Yeah.
And no Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship
yessssss
Those intros are a great way to make me never subscribe to a channel.
Intros are a thing of the past
This is like the biggest flex of 2020 now that everyone's stuck in quarantine
We all thought he was crazy, look who’s laughing now
I've been riding a ton - not all trails are closed.
I have an entire trail system built do to quarantine
Me and my mates built it we all live on the same farm
Tovereita täällä wtf
"I think that's a tombstone"
Seth: Right, so that can be our jump ramp...
😂😂😂😂
I've come across several cemeteries in West Virginia where a lot of the tombstones are nothing but a flat rock stood up edgewise, just like that one...
I’d be so curious to find out if it really was a tombstone…Dig that spot and see what you find.
On that flat stone, I would’ve written in Sharpie: Here lies The Singletrack Sampler. Just to freak Alex out.
The Landy Lad 😂
Flat Stone: Here lies The Singletrack Sampler
Everyone on YT: Who is that again? 🤣
The Singletrack Sampler I know who you are
@@The_Sampler omg alex if you see this I love your videos :)
I wouldnt dig it up, probably a house pet or if its old enough an actual person
I’ve come to the conclusion that Friday is the best day because Seth.
It sure is
Agreed
For sure
friday=sethday
So true!
Awesome Seth!! That's gonna be really sick once it gets the finishing touches.
That off camber Left hander after the rock kicker is the Perfect place for a Wooden Berm. Make it happen!
Oscar is so adorable when he runs, it’s like a majestic little waddle with his legs.
Christopher Southern yes haha
4 legged penguin
4:42
agreed.
Lol
Seth should name one of the jumps he makes on this trail, “The Tombstone” after the mini grave that Alex found
it wasnt a grave tho
Matt jones already did that
He should
That would be copying Matt Jones
We actually had this exact discussion!
I’m so proud of how far you’ve gotten! When I first watched the “new house” video I was wondering how long this was going to take you, but you’ve done wonderful so far!
Great stuff as usual!
The soil that we (MTBers) typically all refer to as “loam” tends to be organic topsoil. Loam (scientifically/geologically) is a balanced blend of sand, clay, and silt (referred to as “gold” by trail builders here in BC... and elsewhere I’m sure). We look for pockets of it near new sections of trail or while doing repairs and will cart it a fairly long distance if needed.
In opposition to “loamers”, trails surfaced with real loam tend to be more durable and drain well.
Sorry to intrude with this, just thought aspiring builders may find it interesting.
Me thinking I’m trying “I’m gonna build a ramp at the weekend”
Seth...
I had the same idea
My son (12 years old) introduced me to this channel and I've been following along since late last year. Because of these videos he got all excited about wanting to build a ramp for his bike. So we did just that last weekend. Well, it was supposed to be a ramp, turned out to be something that is not suitable for jumping, but just to ride over. We've learned a few lessons to apply for Ramp 2.0. Never the less, he's enjoyed it and looks forward to the next one we build.
I say that to say "go build your ramp, it's a fun activity."
Viper 2369 Epic, any advice? 😀
@@jacobg1219 When you draw it out, it's not going to look as steep as it is when you actually cut it. Secondly, most likely you will think "12 inches isn't that high, let me go higher." That's not needed.
He gets up and over it, even gets the front tire in the air a bit, but his front sprocket keeps hitting/dragging on the top because of these 2 mistakes.
I love how his trail system is basically as good as my local trails in the Uk
Better than any free trails in Ireland...
Lucky to have leeds urban bike park near me
Have you ever gone to BP Wales or Woburn for example?
@@Riamoka have ypu been to Gosford forest park in County Armagh
@@Riamoka I mean it depends where you are, in the east there are a lot of good trails.
I remember seeing the first video on this channel about two years ago or so, I had an old mountainbike, but I was using my road bike for the most part. As a kid, I used to enjoy riding my mountainbike in the forest, so when I saw the videos on this channel, that fire lit up again. Yesterday I shred through a dryed out river, had some fast downhill sections, crossed a river on a tree that had fallen over it (and fell into the water 7 times before I got it right) - thank god for Seth and everyone involved in this channel, you reminded me that life is more than just work and chasing personal records on the road.
It's always a good day when Seth uploads
Idea on how you can map the new trail: fly the drone at night/twilight and walk the trail with a flashlight pointed up to trace the trail.
Thats actually a really good idea
I was about comment the same thing! But then thought of GPS... The light idea would be cool to watch regardless.
@@ccenduro GPS is not that accurate
Peter gps is not that accurate? 😂
@@slangingiron4016 that's what he said
I think it’s pretty clear at this point we need a Drama drop v2
Noah E it is pretty I have a channel too just getting it started I would love support
Hey Seth! Love your videos, maybe you could make a “Day in the life of Seth” so we can see the whole process of how you make a video! Keep up the great work! EDIT: you haven’t built any drops or rock gardens yet
U should get a big sign that goes over your driveway. It could stand "Welcome to Berm Peak" That would be a real kingdom for mtb.
Who else loves the sound effects?!😂 3:06
Knob Deep, means something different to Brits! 😭
Evan oof
Was looking for this
If you know you know
😂😂😂
man he cant call a trail knob deep XD
Just got back into mountain biking again and I love this channel. Tons of work and creativity going into both the videos and building the actual trail. Awesome job man.
8:39 You gotta put a little dirt jump there. That would be perfect ✔️
Seth and Alex uploading at the same time😭
The problem which one do u choose?
Seth
Jack Drill why not both? *laughs in dual monitor*
Me luaghs in tripple monitor playing minecradt🖲️
The Wheel Deal I think Seth is better ngl
Seth building the trail: I'd like to keep a nice loam.
Seth riding at the end: DESTROYING THE TRAIL
Yeah, I'm curious how sustainable that loam is?
@@Driver8takeabreak I hope some of it stays loam and dirt, after all, instead of getting filled up with wooden features. Couldn't find the specific video, but I swear Seth early on stated something like Stumpthorn would have the jump lines and wacky features whereas Moonshangle would be tight, twisting, handcut singletrack. It's awesome what he's doing with his woodshop, but it would be cool to see the different areas maintain different characters and work with their natural terrain. That said, I like the idea of inserting a new Drama Drop (Oscar Drop!) somewhere, and this might fit in best amongst the steeper terrain of Moonshangle.
Oh yeah! look forward to seeing the progress on this section.
You can really tell how steep the terrain changes to by how much of your stem and top cap we can see. Body position goes WAY back. Awesome as always! Thanks for filming so we could ride with you today Seth!
Seth:
I built my first trail in monshangle!
Rhodorooter:
-_-
Haha, very astute of you! Rhododrooter does indeed enter Moonshangle, but there's so much more below it!
Thank you Seth, very cool!
now we know what to call it when someone gets injured on Moonshangle!
edit: and you know we all want a new drama drop and a little one next to it called the Oscar drop!
To all the sponsors of seth: I actually bought a tool he recommended in a previous video today and I absolutely love it. Keep making business with this man!
Influencer marketing is so powerful
I drove through this area recently for a work trip, and I was just staring at the mountains, dreaming about the MTB trail possibilities- all thanks to this channel
Seth 2 years ago: *built a 10-20 seconds backyard trail.*
Seth now: *built a whole bike park*
He hasn't talked about it lately, but I think he is indeed helping build a public bike park.
its hard to believe that he built berm creek two years ago already!!!!
AdventureVenture yeah he was going to do it in town or somewhere
All mountain bikers: Its so boring we can't even ride!
Seth: laughs in mtb
RESPECT FOR PUTTIN KNOBB DEEP! As guy from NYC i appreciate and love that.
I really like how seth doesn't cut the trees that are alive for the trail he just cuts it when needed seth loves mother nature
5:32 Feels like we just got back from commercial
You gotta love more trails!
So so good. It's real awesome how hard you work to get the trail to its best. Kudos man!!
Dude your channel is so awesome I have been watching your channel for so long you have inspired me to build a trail system in my backyard! I am building features and its been awesome. I just want to say thank you so much for making these videos and I think I am speaking for everyone when I say that these vids are flipping awesome! And they are so inspiring and cool!
Driving up the driveway: honey I’m home i got the groceries
Seth: *jumps driveway gap* shit
He still needs to dig out that landing though :D
I keep remembering that as I listen to this Seth has spent so long under his desk doing the voiceover🤣
Awesome new trail! I'm excited to see what's next. Thank you for your videos, they are keeping me sane through this quarantine.
Looking great! Loving this Berm Peak series
3:10, I can totally imagine seth just giggling away as he added thoss sound effects. Lol
I would be lol
It’s Christmas time again. Seth posted!!!!!
build drops and a significant rock feature on that trail
This is looking like it's going to get very interesting. Love watching you build trails and new features. I'm addicted to this channel and my MTB has never been on anything remotely like you ride with ease sir!
Make a motorised zip line from top to bottom, like a chair lift.... when you’ve done the trail you won’t have to climb back up. You could just clear a path that goes straight up and make a motorised tow rope so you can sit on the bike and attack a rope or cable to it and be pulled up the hill¿? Food for thought aye 🤟🏼
You can take the tire off a dirt bike and use that to power a rope lift
Motorized pulley. Just have it on a normal rope it could even just drag you up the hill while you sit on your bike
Then send it back down when you get to the top
6:45 That tree's thicc 👌
I’ve just watched all the episodes in less than 24 hours thanks god tomorrow is Friday. I love this series I just found some mtb trails in a mountain behind my house. I went but it was hard because my brake was rubbing against my back wheel. So I searched up how to fix it and found this. Your lucky to have this!
Trails are all coming along nicely!! Gotta love keeping busy through quarantine. Keep on hustlin' boys!
Seth: builds trials on his property in a year.
Matt Jones: Hold my RedBull
I was waiting for this comment
Trials? I'm pretty sure the Court does that..
matt’s a crazy bloke
Matt is building dirt jumps, Seth is clearing and building trail. Very very different things, Seths type of trail building takes way longer
Matt's jump line is absolutely amazing but it's dirt jump specific. I'd rather have Seth's place, it's got a bit of everything. It's like mtb Disneyland haha.
Seth, you bring me and everyone else that watches your channels joy and laughter during these dark times. keep it up dude
Charles Ingersoll change your profile pic for gods sake
@@shortchainstays8762 creepy shit lol
Telling it how it is!! Videos like this are my sanity right now!!
Wow Seth! That trail looked great, and like it took a TON of work to create. Awesome job!
Insane! That's some amazing work.
mtb bikers: damn all the bike parks are closed
seth: 😌😌😎
This is great....and I’m discovering so many older videos Seth! I love the revisiting of old stomping grounds on LI. Where I’m from. Keep pursuing your dreams. We love following!
Seth look forward to your videos it’s the only thing keeping me sane during Quarantine
@9:42 The best slo-mo Seth's ever slo-mo'd 🙌🙌🙌
Seth: "im going to put a rock here"
Flashback to the time he broke his collarbone at berm creek. Btw love your vidios. I tryed makeing My own mtb trail but lost All My power after i went to France.
To the one person who reads this. . .
Have a fantastic day!
God bless you!
Stay safe during Covid-19!
Thanks!
To you as Well! I'm gonna Sub. If you want trail building content you should sub to me!
Thanks for the great content Seth! I always look forward to the Friday uploads but really have been during all this craziness. Appreciate it!
One of the best Berm Peak videos so far! Keep it up!
When I hear the harmonica music, I always think of Seth
One day Seth's trail is so large that he can't even memorize it.
Súper sick!! I wait all week for your videos to come out and I’ve been following since the start of berm creek. I remember when one of your friends tried to stop on the drop and fell off into the bushes
Man i've been watching since about 10,000 subs and to see you progress is the most awesome thing to watch. Your channel is without a doubt my favorite !!!
Hey Seth I have built a ton of mountain bike bump during this, and keeping my bike cleaner than it ever was. Thanks for the best content on TH-cam and keeping me excited for Friday’s and Sunday’s.
Dude you inspired me to create backyard trails at my house and now I’m getting a truckload of dirt to build jumps, berms and drops. Thanks for inspiring me man!
Thanks for he morning entertainment. Cheers!
Absolutely amazing Seth, loved this video 👍🏻
Hey Seth, I figure you know this, you've been in Asheville long enough, but if you burn freshish Rhodadendron it makes a poisonous fume.
You should make a trail called “Rippin’ n’ trippin’ and “The Roost”
Alec Harding
Not bad, Not bad at all. Good name idea...
Awesome new trail!!
i love your videos & positive spirit in them Seth!
You should make a “T-bar” of sorts to get back up the hill. (Makes a T-Bar, but do hooks for the handle bars instead of t-bars to sit on)
Connor McIntyre I have a feeling he will make some sort of lift system like that eventually
@@Dmanpeterson would be great to see
You don’t want your handlebars hooked. They use t bar lifts in bike parks in europe they just put it behind your seat so you can still steer.
a t-bar would be the ultimate backyard build!
How many Ryobis would it take to power that??
Genuinly this is the only channel that makes me actually happy when i see the upload :D keep it upppp!!!!!!!!!
Such a unique feel to the channel, its very uplifting and entertaining
And now the new video is missing...
Madetoplz how’s that going for ya?
I just started watching this channel and I already thinking to make this channel my favorite chabnel
@@Sidewinder-gj3zk sad that there isnt a new upload yet
Really enjoying your the way you edit your music selections into your videos...
All your videos are awesome, dude.. keep on doing good uploads that inspire 😀
Who else after quarantine Seth and Matt Jones should collab at Matt’s new backyard trails
Seth, Matt Jones and Blake Samson should be fun to watch
Matt Jones and Blake Samson are more slopestyle riders, so I think it would be more interesting to see a collab between Sam pilgrim, Matt, and Blake
Sean McAdams Yh that’s probably a better collab tbh
They have completely different riding styles
Sadly I highly doubt that would happen
I've been spending my self-isolation building trail too :D
So have I, almost 1/2 mile done with ton of features and jumps.
I have too. no where done for me, i got 45 acers to use, I even have a Diesel Gator to get around with, backhoe & dozer. Im building wooden board walks right now to cross muddy sections.
@@Kylejeepadventures 45 acres? wow, if you have elevation you are set!
@@noahfrei2656 That's sick! Good luck with it!
Seth hasn’t posted😩
Ikr
😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Anyone else still waiting
😭
Does he have a specific day that he always uploads on or is it just any day of the week?
Cool, The endurabarrow is still in use.

Kadan Brennan your a true hero
POV: seth is providing us with the highest quality quarantine content
He sure is
I'm stoked for you Seth!
As a hardtail rider, I've really been loving seeing you use the hardtail more!! @10:00 is so sick! Super excited to see how Knob Deep and the other sections in Moonshangle evolves
These videos are extremely entertaining, which is annoying because I hate when they Finish
I just watch for the sweet quality
Make a mtb lift thing- even maybe like a small motorized zipline with room for a bike
Really look forward o these vids. Keep up the good work seth 👍👍👍
Looking fun!
I think his favorite phrase ever is: “clear corridor”
I find myself constantly looking at how much time is left in the video like “no! There’s only a minute left!”😂
Episode 243 of Berm Peak, installing a home made bike lift back up. Man I really love these videos, thank you for the amazing content, and good job on all the hard work you've done to make these trails!
Knob Deep is gonna be Infamous!!!
