It’s kinda sketchy! Building & Riding the Teeter Cannon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- The teeter totter was fun, but there's always a way to make something better. In this video, we attempt to build a mountain bike jump that requires launching off the end of the teeter. We're calling it the Teeter Cannon, and it's going to challenge people! It's not every day you ride your mountain bike up to a moving lip. Enjoy this one.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate, how far this mans carpentry skills have come
True 😂
What happened to these replies lol
Zach Mason umm I’m so confused about those 2 people
Computer Freaky they’re bots report them for spam
RyZXn470 ok 👌🏻
Man this looks fun to ride!
Improvement Idea: I noticed the teeter totter had a significant amount of flexure across it's length after Seth hits it. As a mechanical engineer my first thought was that the repeated flexing will eventually cause the wood fibers to separate and lead to a pretty epic crack in the support beams. That said, of this were my build, I would reinforce the center or pivoting section of the teeter. Easiest way to do this would be to make some 2' to 3' lengths of the supporting beam and drill the same hole through them, then mount them on the inside of each support beam. This will help keep the teeter working for a long time to come as it gets repeatedly sent by riders. Hope this is useful, cheers.
I don’t feel like reading all this
StigSauer yes my thoughts exactly
@@WBA-ts1zy who asked
What I really noticed was the Notch at the end for the Teeter to "Hit Flat" heavily compromised that portion of the feature. I forecast it will break from the constant abuse of smashing on the landing especially with a near 90 degree cut instead of rounding out the cut after it was made to spread the load. Im Just a chemical engineer, but my limited knowledge in Mechanics of Materials at least aids in understanding concepts...
As a non-mechanical engineer, I can tell you that you don't need to be a mechanical engineer to know this.
I know this has nothing to do with mountain bike riding but imagine Seth building a tree house
That would be one cool tree house
Multi-use Whale tail Balcony Miniramp attached to the treehouse
Treehouse with a bar overlooking the trails!!!
Seth could seriously do a tree house lounge bar as a hangout place there.
How about a line that goes up a tree to a platform then wraps around and comes down like a cork screw?
This is quite possibly the dopest feature I’ve ever seen- I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your videos every week
hanging a chain under the "entry" side would slow down the ramp on the assent but bring it back quicker. and its progressive load, the higher it goes the heavier, lower it gets lighter. if its needed, seems to work well now.
Depending on the weight of the chain though, I feel like it could slightly enhance the sketch factor of the feature (I'll leave it up to seth to decide whether that's a good or a bad thing) due to the teeter not going down as fast. I feel like it could be more predictable now where you're gonna know that the planks basically don't support your weight when you're on the second half and it looked like seth almost bunnyhopped or took weight off of the teeter at the middle, whereas when it supports a bit more weight it might feel weird to stay on and it might feel weird to "jump" early and then realize that the teeter isn't really going down and out of your way that quick.
Complete shot in the dark though, just my thoughts.
First he has to see if it can take a pounding and not crack
@@macswanton9622 Yeah, I'm worried about the birdmouth he cut to meet the deck better causing a split in the teeter
I was thinking a bungy/rubber cord, not super strong, but to bring it back down and stop the bounce for that following rider....
Nah that makes it way easier. Its way more difficult to jump of something moving fast than slow. He finally built a difficult thing. Don't dumb it down by making it slower.
I remember how stoked I was when you announced Berm Peak and when you walked the property. What a vision you have for this property! So much fun following along as you continue to add dimensions to it!
You might want to zip tie some pillows to the tree right in front of the landing just in case.
@Vlog Epicness I am a HUGE fan
Seths videos are getting higher and higher quality and it’s more like a movie every time
Sems like he got some „help“. New channel name&logo, videos stretched just above 10 Minuten for double ads, currently in trending, same cinematic style with generic music like all the others...that smell....that smelly smell....
@@kvr462 u stole my words, super non natural shots ( like TV shows) and the voice over is also slightly flat and monotonous
of course this is the type of quality needed , lol , i have seen worse one
“Looks like a cannon you can shoot off of...
I’m very interested in exploring this possibility”
Seth, 2020
I think this is really gonna work you are so right I am very excited about the explosion that’s about just happened
Seth in April: "We cannot do any jumps or sketchy things."
Seth in August: "Let's build a teeter cannon!"
I love this channel! Keep up the great work!
Same here Man. I’ve never been a mountain biker. Since I’ve been watching this channel, both my Son and I have mountain bikes and Seth makes feel like chopping a track out at my local park. His and Alex’s channels are GREAT! Cheers.
Mr Keenaz. What an influence and teacher Seth is. I’ve just learned how to do bunny hops. With one of my Crank Bros multi-tools, I just took the reflectors off my brand new S.E. Bikes Fat P.K. Ripper.
10:25 this was a pretty good escape, I just got told I was cheated on 3 times and this video definitely makes me crave my bike this is the start to the healing process, I’m gonna go ride and get my mind busy thank you Seth
Womp womp. Better boot the cheater if you have any self respect.
Belial61 she’s out of my life already I’ve removed myself from her entirely
I’m sorry man that sucks balls... but nice on you man for getting past her (I read the other replies) and go have some real fucking fun on your bike.
Luke Lamers Im obviously gonna be upset for a while but I’ll definitely get over this within a month or two I just hope I the riding season doesn’t get cut short by some early snow
@@Bentnosebrick Time really heals all bro. Listen to some 808s & heartbreak in the meantime
I really feel like name yeeter totter was overlooked and that makes me sad
Day FREE YEETER TOTTER!!!
We need more support behind the yeeter totter, thats an amazing idea!
Yeeter boter
I support the Yeeter Totter nomenclature...
lmao
Seth: “Gimmie the glove”
Oscar: Aight imma head out.
🤣
lol
Seth: ITS SKETCHY!
also Seth: I’m gonna send it
When Seths involved what isn’t sketchy?
You build it , you ride it!
@@jaden3393 indeed
Seth builds teeter totter.
Everyone else builds teeter totters.
Seth: "I modified mine a little"
@RITA 25 y.o , I WANT SЕЕХ !!!! OPEN MY VIDEO !!!! no
*so I spent a little bit of time working on my base in minecraft*
everyone elses modifies theirs
seth: “So i built a skinny that is 20 feet above a rock garden bypass and goes on for a mile
@@Xurly_1 wtf?
@@Xurly_1 ok
“I’m just gonna get a lot of speed, and when I get to the top, I’ll figure it out.”
Seth 2020 is about to get a whole lot worse
well that aged poorly
Seth you’ll probably never read this, but I have a good idea and it’s totally optional. But I was thinking at the trail head you could make(or buy) a drama statue made of wood kind of like, this trail is dedicated to drama
Like the dirt merchant at whistler. But it would be a drama statue instead.
have my like to get this up for Seth to read it
I love this idea!
Maybe we need to recruit a TH-cam woodcarver.
Hell ya! Collab with a wood carving YTer! Keep it in the family.
When Seth says something is sketchy god help anyone else riding it
Lol
Lol
Lol
You should make something to cushion the teeter when it hits the wood.
Jack Grimshaw ya lol
You can genuinely tell how happy Seth is making these videos for us and it really shows on his face in the outro
"10 minute escape from this crazy world."
That's almost exactly what I was thinking! Thank you for never bringing politics and current events into your videos! (Obviously COVID aside).
Video idea: A rundown of the tools, fasteners, materials, etc. you use and recommend for trail and feature building.
This right here
"This is fun", is the lowest praise Seth has ever given anything.
Yo wtf are your comments
@@loveanime6876 Rita bot is horny and really into skitzbros
Holy crap, I'd be too scared to WALK on that thing, looks like something straight outta Happy Wheels.
I don't own a mountain bike, I only have road bikes, but regardless I'm always going to be a huge fan of this channel, I love that Seth builds really cool stuff for the his trail system, hands down this is the coolest MTB channel on TH-cam.
I think everyone misses the beard but the best part of the channel is Seth's voice
Funny I watch on mute with cc on.
He looks really weird without it
THATS WHAT IT IS I was watching him tryna figure out what was different
simp
Liam Brewer Same lol
We have a teeter-totter on one of the trails I ride and it has an old car tire for it to crash down on. It's a lot less impact for the teeter-totter and the rider.
Same with ours, makes the transition so smooth
Thank you for having someone do the thing in the title in the first fifteen seconds! I had to watch thirty seconds of ads and really just wanted to see someone ride a bike on a big ass teeter totter. Thank you.
02:14 "I can go ride nice smooth jump lines anytime I want"
At this point I kinda' feel like he's flexing.
Hey, when I used to build any wooden features back when I was living in Asheville, I learned to mix silica sand with just some standard deck seal. I forget the amount exactly. I want to say I added like... maybe enough silica sand to fill the paint bucket maybe 1/4 of the way. It's more than you think you should add.
Since it's damp fairly often in Asheville, it'll give you a bit more safety in those spaces where to wood is slick -- especially those wooden berms you built.
It's also just a good idea for anyone building a deck in a damp climate. Get some silica, like 40-70 mesh, fairly large grain if you can find it.
Great idea. Creates texture and grip like truck bed liner!
Are you ok rita?
Nice last name
Seth has “mad scientist” vibes. 🤣 He always manages to pull it off though.
😂😂😂
Yeah, and I like how Kevin is like totally sceptical about it - while probably the second person to immediately try it out after it‘s built 😂
That's the thing with building stuff. You can do all the physics and calculations, but the best way is to just build it and make some adjustments.
My boys are just getting to bike jump age. Seth is giving me tons of ideas. 🤔
Your videos inspired me to make my own MTB trails of my own thanks for all of the great ideas
Music is on point! Upgrading the teeter totter to launch it into Berm Peak greatness was a good move. Excited for the future and good vid as always!
Seth got 10 years younger without his beard LMAOO
He looks different, but kind of the same
@@tomhenderson8667 On point dude
When video started Seth had 35 years when video finished Seth had 25 years
He looks like the seth from the speaker installment ad😂
@Jodan Sweidan I agree
"It doesn't feel that sketchy" -Seth 7:38. Rare words to hear at berm peak.
Every
Seth - 7:38 sounds like a bible verse lmao
Thank you for the video.
My father had emergency surgery yesterday and today had complications. He is hanging in there but it's hour by hour.
It's been such a stressful day. I am laying in bed and watching you really helped me out. I can probably get some sleep.
Honestly thank you for always keeping others in mind.
Much love ✊❤️
Stage 1: the launch ramp moves.
Stage 2: the landing ramp moves.

Stage ???: Mario Maker: Mountain Bike Edition
Catching a Seth video first thing in the morning honestly makes the rest of the day 100 times better
tell me about it
So true he makes my day
For me in Northern Ireland it comes out at 2pm so I’m waiting all morninggggg
Fact
Agreed, very much
Would love to see a revised map of Berm peak, I've gotten so lost as to where all these features are now!
what is that pfp from?
@@nit-Inundate It's Nirvash from Eureka Seven
This is one of the most epic features and solutions to a problem I’ve seen on Berm Peak by far
"I hope it gave you a little 10 minutes to escape from this crazy world." I really felt that and it did help me to escape from it. Thank you!
The caption of the video got me thrown off.
Like, what isn’t sketchy at Berm Peak?
the garage
The dirt
Get out of my downhill rules brotity I saw one of your vids your doo doo seth is the man your not even his league
True dat
Skiier 22 cmon man we’re all just trying to watch this sick video
Seth’s using the force to get the pole in the ground at 4:47
Great video Seth, really stepping up your video production game with all the neat tracking shots, slow-motion pans and time-lapses. All that, alongside the chill soundtrack makes for great episodic viewing pleasure. Riding is always on point too 👍🏻
Hey Seth, as someone who loves your channel but is not about to ride ANY of the stuff that you build, I Love this feature. I see it as something that gives the rider the option of going full on to take the leap, or use it as a teeter totter (safer option?) to use it for the added momentum down the ramp (sorry, not right up on the terminology).
Really great progression of a feature!
Imagine what Seth’s insurance looks like!!!
😂😂😂
Looks like this:
Yea non existent 🤣🤣
Love that he’s not willing to let friends ride it yet before he makes it a little less sketchy😂 he okay with Phil getting hurt just not to hurt!
Phil and Seth are another type of rideres, even if they crash they could get out of the situition just fine!
Haha yeah
Bro seth is on trending?!!? I thought he was ours :/ but go Seth!!
That's what half a million views within hours does! Well deserved.
I love how Seth with build a whole bike park in his back yard but I won't mow the lawn
I'm liking the fact that there was equal parts live talking and voice over and it feels more natural
Good Job Seth
Whistler bike park after seeing this: Write this down
No way Highland bike park be like
Woodward
Avery Mahon ye
Whistler: Hold my ipa
@@averymahon3774 love me some highland
Production quality of your videos is always exceptionally, a pleasure to watch👊
I`m watching your videos like since the beginning of berm peak and you really got me hooked up with mountain biking. Once I´m finished with studying, I`m gonne buy me a nice bike and learn how to mountain bike! Maybe one day I`ll be able to ride your tracks! With all my love from germany!
Oscar: **Takes glove**
Seth: *”Okay, run off with it”*
_That was the last time the glove was ever seen_
Lol
Maybe oscar dug it into the ground
I'm still looking for that glove
Berm Peak 😂😂😂
If your dog won’t do what you tell him, tell him to do what he’s already doing.
This is like watching finnieas and ferb. “Guys, I know what we’re going to do this week!”
Yes yes yes, lmao
Something different but kinda the same
phineas*
confusing name to spell though haha
pixel yep
What a cool feature! You can go slow and it'll handle it and you can gradually build up speed to send it as much as you want! Nice work man.
i’ve been here since 200k, keep it up man and i love your vids 🤟🤟🤟
“There are still plenty of things we can mess up” -Seth 2020
and then he puts some rocks on the landing lol
God in 2020 be like
There are still plenty of things to mess up
~2020~
So rite
6:02 RIP the little bug that landed on the wood plank
damn dude, you werent lying
Hey dude, you have bots on your comment
@@torque-drive2488 I can tell
Berm Peak has a new feel to it and I love it. Keep it up!
I have to say I think this is your cleanest build yet! Looks so sick with the dense brush hugging so close to the sides . Loving the content my friend.
Seth: I'm not afraid of it
also Seth: Almost having a heart attack in the air on his first time
He said that after his second attempt tho
You should put strips of rubber where the teeter hits the deck for smoother transition if you decide not the jump it
Or Take a couple adjustable bike shocks and make a custom dampener so when the teeter hits the deck it doesn't bounce back up a few inches. Think of the front of the teeter like the front forks landing a jump.
My favorite and the best channel wood working and mountain biking doesn’t get any better then this
Dude you make everything look so easy. Fun to watch. Love your creativity! Glad to see your vulnerable side with being a little sketched out at first. Keep it up!
When Seth shaves his beard of, he looks like 5-10 years younger 😁
Yea i thought he looked younger too
Was machst du denn hier?😂
Production quality is through the roof! This episode is cinematic, gorgeous visuals, great cuts, I love it!
Dude that's brilliant, you build the most insane features, your a different breed of mountain biker
It’s refreshing to know he reads his comments and cares about his audiences input
The cinematography in this video is insane. Nice job!
Plot twist: You didnt just shave to look young, this is your *son*
You should of named it the “Teeter Yeeter” 😂
I wholeheartedly support this idea and hope Seth sees it
Or Yeeter totter
The fact this has 69 likes makes it even better
Wow. Awesome imagination and as always thank you for putting out content we all enjoy, especially in these times.
I’ve been following the channel for years now and I noticed:
MAN this was good! Not that the older videos were bad in any way - I still love them. But things like the time lapse with the camera slowly moving, super likable Seth (especially at the end), nice shot of Oscar scurrying around the feature... I love this channel.
How about putting some rubber bands on the "entry" side of the teeter. This will to some extend hold the "exit" side up. You could modulate this effect by the number of rubber bands and the speed you enter the teeter ;-)
Was thinking similar except I’d use sand bags on the underside of the entry ramp.
Yup, thought in a similar fashion. Some kind of counter balance at the start of it, and you may be able to train it somewhat better too. That tire mentioned in another comment could be under the start too dampen it
D good idea but you’d have to use a little amount of sand. This is why I think the rubber bands are a better idea but maybe l less reslistic
What's with all the sex bots commenting on Seths videos?
@@AstronomyWales ikr
This might be the best video you have ever made, Seth. Quality from start to ender.
You are probably the only bike rider on the planet that can ride this trail top to bottom without issues. Can't even imagine pros could hit this all first try
Seth’s videos has actually inspired me to start making my own backyard trail.
Awesome content, very original thanks for the awesome videos Seth. 😄
That’s awesome!! Have fun making the trails!!
Raul Andrino me as well elevation change has been my biggest problem so far
PJ Degnan Same I don’t have too much elevation, you gotta work with what you got am I right?
Raul Andrino yessir
It’s a pretty cool feature. But let’s be honest I’m only here for the Oscar b-roll footage.
This is awesome! By far one of the coolest features yet! I wish I could build something like this on my local trails.
I would love to build trails and commentaries just like you buddy!! You rock🤟🏼keep up the good work!
Seth: *waves glove
Oscar: I am Speed
I prefer ‘beard Seth’ this ‘Seth’ looks young and weird
😂jk
Yeah cause Seth is only in his mid thirty’s
Same
The problem with the berm peaks channel is that he doesn't upload enough. Love the videos!! We just want more!! Come on seth!
Seth is a legit engineer. Build it, and iterate until it works. I always know that if something isn't right he will fix it up. yeah, I didn't say draftsman, I said engineer : )
When I first saw the title, I thought it would be way crazier. My initial thought of "cannon" was that you'd just secure the start so it didn't move at all and it'd just be a huge jump. Could still do that but setting in some planks on each side with notches and a small, stiff bar to go into one of the gaps between the planks.
All your features are hella creative and fun to watch!
We all been waiting for this upload for ages, it's here!
Man I find your videos so therapeutic and relaxing 👍
Love what you have built. I built similar years ago, teeter topper came down onto an off ramp, gave you the option to launch or roll down for those who didn’t feel comfortable riding it. We also had one built in our local woods that got ripped down by the foresters after someone fell off it and tried to claim against them. I also built a portable teeter topper for the kids to use and when I was coaching other riders, plus you can always roll it out when having BBQ’s and got your mates round
He's seems like a professional carpenter more tha mountain biker 😆😅🤣
But can't you be both🤔🤔🤔
Carpenter and test dummy
Ha
He’s and seems ye good english and also tha like what
So true
Does Mrs Bike Hacks get concerned for your safety when sending things like this? 😂
If you dont tell her she wont.
I'm sure she's used to it
Production quality is getting better with every single video!
This man makes this look so easy but ik this takes him forever keep up the great videos and the builds
Maybe put in elastic bands on the front of the teeter. So it gets reset quicker and the teeter doesn't float away under you. plus it would add a level of difficulty on the "normal" way of hitting it becaus of the delayed teeter.
Agreed. He could also use more weight there for the same effect
A couple of bungee cords that could be removed or even moved until it's just right to jump, but if someone wants to roll it they can be taken off for less resistance
One of the most beautiful feature builds and music combo on this channel. It may not be as "hard core" or "exciting" as I expected, but the beauty compensates for that. Great Job!!
Thanks for a great entertaining vid. Its easy to forget just the work in putting a quality vid up. Even drone footage taken for granted.
Cheers 👍
The production quality on this one is top notch
When he said “it doesn’t feel that sketchy” I was suprised
Gotta remember though, that quote is from a guy who lovesssss things a bit sketchy
I felt the disappointment in his voice though..... like he missed his goal. But he‘ll probably find a way to add more „sketchy“ to it. 😂😂
Shout out to Seth for checking out those fence post suggestions! As someone who designs mechanical things every day, having that library of "tools" in your mind that you can use to build things is absolutely priceless.
By his work I can say that you are a hard working person! KEEP IT UP!!
I swear these are some of the most wholesome videos on the site. Thanks, Seth
