- In this episode, I build and ride a sketchy MTB skinny that is pretty high off the ground.
Support the channel and buy your Cutlaps t-shirt here cutlaps.com
This is part 2 of the multiple ride option feature. Last episode Tashi and I built a fast and flowy drop. In this episode, I extend a trail from the drop across a fallen tree. The tree lays perfectly across a gully which makes things a bit scary when trying to ride this feature. With a no-fall zone in the middle.
I had a great time building this wooden mountain bike feature even if it was the sketchiest build yet. Chainsaws in the rain on a balancing beam… need I say more?

Super stoked to have opened an online shop. cutlaps.com/shop/
When you purchase a t-shirt I make a small profit that will go along way to supporting the channel. If you don't want to buy a shirt because you think they look crap, that's all good I still love you.
Looking forward to mine arriving this week 🤘
Dude your website is awesome!!!!
This channel should have 2 million subscribers, not 2 thousand, super high quality content
Cheers mate. I would be blown away if this channel blows up to even 5% of 2 million 🤣
Your building skills are ridiculous 😍. Literally the coolest thing I’ve seen on TH-cam in ages
Mate that's so cool. You're literally watching me learn as I go.
Which is better, the build, the camera and editing or Luke's enthusiasm. All high quality!!!
Haha thanks mate! I tell you what, the enthusiasm needs a kick start some mornings haha.
All high quality!
I don‘t even ride moutain bikes myself, but these videos have me hooked from the start.
Thanks and stay safe!
That is very cool! Thank you for watching. I started building the next feature yesterday
Another great build and video to encapsulate it! The quality of your trail building and video editing is really impressive and I’m sure you’re channel will grow and thrive if you keep up the amazing content! Already looking forward to the next video!
Cheers Charlie! I just have to keep doing what I love and the channel will grow. Hope that shirt arrives for you soon!
Scrolled down after the I finished watching the video to see you have under 1K subs. Your channel and videos are pro level. Keep up the great work!
Yup just a small channel here. I chose quality over quantity which they say isn't the best choice when starting a TH-cam channel. But I just love putting together these rad features and a video to match.
Stoked you found the channel and thanks for leaving a comment.
Right?!?! He’s getting close to 1k 🙌🏼
underrated channel man, you popped up on my recommended one day and i've watched every single one of your videos and I'm waiting for more, Keep going man.
Awesome!!! Stoked you found my channel and enjoyed all the videos. I'm excited to keep making more. I have lots of videos planned. Just have to find the time to make them!
Loved this video! You guys make the coolest features!! My son, Michael, is always glued to your content and asking me to help him build something like you guys did!!
Thats awesome! Stoked to be inspiring the youngsters to get out and build! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Subscribed and looking at the shop as I write. Great to support a local in his adventures
Awesome! Welcome to the channel mate! Hope you find something you like in the shop.
wow Dude this is sick I am also Australian and love trail building keep up the hard work and the subscribers will roll in
Thanks Zac. Where in Oz are you?
@@cutlaps tas
Dude Tassie is awesome. Such a beautiful place to build trails.
Great little series, thanks. My son and i built a covid lock down track down here in Tassie. After watching your videos we are inspired to add a few extra features. Might even buy an Alaskan mill. Cheers.
Hey mate. Thats great to hear. Did you take any photos or video of your trail? Thats so cool you are in Tassie, I hear the best riding in Australia is there. The Alaskan mill is very handy, hard work, but very rewarding building features with your own wood. I would love to see pics when you get back out there.
@@cutlaps There are some low quality videos on Walter's you tube channel if you can find your way past the footy card shorts! th-cam.com/video/b5EEYifj0GM/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/raNXNdXoxrQ/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/s93BR-JmZ5o/w-d-xo.html
I think the combination of tracks is a bit over 1km, very steep and slow going with hard clay and rocks, but fun when it comes together. Let us know if you come down to Tassie, we would be happy to take you up to Maydena or Derby if we are up that way. Keep up the good work. I'll see if I can find some photos. Cheers, Adam (and young Walter)
that run up is sooooo clean and what a nice build today!!!!
Cheers mate
I love the "wwwwhhhooo, hold up, we've got a T-Shirt winner"
Catches me off guard every time haha.
Enjoyed seeing the Alaskan mill working again, what a piece of machinery, it's fantastic!
Skinny turned out so nice. Looks crazy to hit on bike...Would love to try it on my 26 inch Mountain Unicycle though 👌
I'll be ordering one of your shirts as an early father's Day present I reckon! (Without the snake on the back!)
Filming and edit was on point again man, stoked with how far your whole production value has come throughout the series so far 😁
Super excited to see what you come up with next!
You made it to the end! Hopefully you don't have to wait too long for the next episode. I know what I want to do next but I don't think I will be able to get out there this week (my real job is calling and I gotta make a bit of cash).
The alaskan mill is great. So handy to be able to mill my own wood but wow it's hard work.
That would be impressive to see you ride across the skinny on your unicycle. And that's so cool you wil grab a shirt! Thank you so much.
This has been great, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the whole series.
I’ve been searching for a new great trail build series, I’ve found it! Keep up the great work
Thanks Julian. Welcome to channel. 🤟 Do you do any trail building yourself?
I do! Little different terrain up here in northern Alberta, Canada
@@jurockclimb Oh dude Canada looks amazing for trail building! Except for winter. I'm lucky that I can build and ride on my trails all year round. Do you have any photos or videos of your trails? I would love to see them.
gnarly skinny man keep it up me and my friend love your content doing great!!
That track is insane!!!
Thanks mate! It's got a bit of everything at the moment. Except for techy rock sections. I will need to build a new trail for that .
Looks like a work of art.
Thank you! This was a pretty unique build for me and really pleased with the results.
The build looks amazing and I love it
Thanks mate. This one turned out great. Glad you enjoyed it.
I've really been enjoying your process, bro. Excellent work! Those ticks and leeches are nasty as though.
Dude they are everywhere at the moment. So bad the vet said my dog should wear shoes out there 🤣🤣🤣. You can see in the last shot.
That doggo didn't even think twice about hitting that, even without the decking boards!
Hahaha no hesitation! I have found wombat poo in the middle of it as well so other animals have been using it as a birdge.
Far out that is freaking cool dude
This guy def needs more subscribers
Thanks mate. Subs are growing which is cool. Cheers for watching some of the older videos.
Another great quality build and edit! Can't agree more, skinnies are scary and that has some consequence!
Thanks Luke. It's scary but dam it looks good!
Such an excellent video! Love your channel! I watch a ton of mtb riders/buidlers on TH-cam. Your energy and the video production quality is the best out there. Keep up the good work!
That is so nice of you to say! I have a fun time building, filming and riding and thats what I really want to capture. How fun it all is. Get people pumped to go ride. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Nothing better to start my day than watching a Cutlaps episode wearing my Cutlaps shirt before going to the gym. Snow has finally melted, I'm hitting the trails tomorrow!
I loved the editing (and the doggo as always), but man that looks scary with the wood flexing at the middle.
Haha yeiw!!! Stoked the snow has finally melted for you. It will be good to get back out on your bike.
When you ride across the log you really don't notice it flexing at all. And with the type of wood there isn't much worry of it breaking for a long time.
Lookin so sic lad!!!! This trail is gunna be hella sweet.
Thanks mate! It's already so much fun to ride. Just need to keep at it building new features and making it longer.
over ten feet to creek bottom. nervy bridge. Looks like great fun. Adrenaline pump!
It sure is! Honestly if it was only 1 ft off the ground anyone would ride it without a second thought. It's pretty wide, but that height makes it way harder. Lots of my friends won't ride it.
That’s just friggin cool!
Thank you! Great to make use of the fallen tree.
Wow you are so good at building features. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate. Thank you for watching.
Im so glad I stumbled upon this channel!
Me too! Welcome and I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Sick!
Thanks Josh!
love the ramp
Thank you!
Track is looking so dope mate! Your chainsaw work is on point!
Cheers Dan. Yeah starting to feel a lot more confident with the chainsaw.
Brilliant content. T-shirt order incoming! 😁
Yeiwwww! Thats so awesome. Thank you so much. It really helps a lot. I've been spending so much time building and editing that I haven't had much time for my real job.
Only 45 second in and already so interested your the best
I love this kind of stuff
Me too! It's fun to build, ride and watch!
Im you new old 56 yer old mexican fan, your amaising thanks for Share 👍
Awesome!!! Stoked you are enjoying my videos. Thanks for being a fan.
Loved that build
Thanks Mike! You will have to book a trip to Australia and collaborate on a build. Wallnut springs x Cutlaps!
@@cutlaps epic collaboration EPIC!!!
I love your videos so much you inspired me to make a massive back yard jump trail
DUde thats awesome! Have you started building it already?
you are just so good at building I can't believe it
Just having fun learning different things out there. This was a bit of a challenge but really cool.
Best TH-camr ever!! Thank you for your content :)
Dude that is so cool to read. Thank you
Nice work and good videos! I love watching trailbuilding it helps me brainstorm what I want to build in my woods!
Cheers Dan. Glad you like my videos. I'm exactly the same, love watching other trail building channels and getting inspired for my own trail. Do you have any photos or videos of yours?
I love this series! Great views, editing, building and riding. It's just perfect!
Thanks Johan! I am so lucky to be able to build a trail on this beautiful property. Thank you for supporting the channel!
Love your videos man!! Fantastic quality and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store! Keep consistent and the views will come.
Cheers Peter! Thanks for checking out the channel. Endless possibilities out on the trail. Are there any features you would like to see me build?
@@cutlaps Honestly I would really like to know more about you as a person! Maybe a vlog about a day in the life, and telling us about your background and how you came to be such a great trail builder!! I just graduated university and my dream would be to make trail systems, so I am curious how you got where you are!
Oh thats cool to hear. Good video idea. If you go back to the very first episode there is a little information about me and my background and how I got into trail building. But honestly before I started this channel I didn't have much experience as a builder. I just got out there and started digging. So this channel has been a pretty good documentation of my life as a trail builder.
Nice mate I watched all your videos about ten times because they are so good😊
Hell yeah! That is amazing. Thank you so much. Which was your favourite one?
Amazing video as usual can’t wait to see what u come up with next
Cheers Eoin! I have a few ideas of what I want to build next. Do you have any builds you would like to see on the channel?
@@cutlaps I’d love to see a teeter totter as big as can fit
Cool. That would be fun. Need to find the right place for it so that it doesn't break the flow of the trail when riding with mates. I was thinking a teeter totter on top of a rock roll would be pretty cool.
@@cutlaps yeah that would be unreal
@@cutlaps that sounds awesome! Harder to bail, which ups the excitement!
Thats so kool! My son and myself are in the process of building an MTB trails in our local BoyScout camp area.
Oh awesome! What a cool project to work on with your son!
Wow
Cheers mate!
love the bridge
Me too, although I don't ride it often because I really enjoy the drop into the creek.
Keep up the great work. Really enjoying the builds.
Thanks Ryan, whats been your favourite so far?
soo cool
Thanks mate! That was a fun build.
Glad to see you are progressing. Video footage and editing are great. Nicely done!
Cheers Joseph! I nearly came off this yesterday 😬😬 now that gets the heart pumping ahah.
Flippin awesome builds mate! 👌👌🤙
Thanks Max. Stoked you like them. Lots of fun building and riding.
Your the best TH-camr ever.
I'm not sure about that! But thank you very much. Stoked you are enjoying my videos.
I love how you don't even think of touching a 2x4 from Lowes or home depot and you just go natural and cut a tree up from your lawn that has already fallen❤❤ I love the vids and I'd prolly poop myself if I were to ride thag
Yeah its pretty cool to be able to build without having to pay for wood.
wow
Such a fun use of a fallen tree
Your channel is too good! You deserve all the success, and I hope the channel can grow more really quickly. Thank you for sharing such great content with us.
Cheers dude. I am really hoping all the hard work pays off and the channel blows up soon! Thanks for joining me on the journey.
Another great build video mate, absolutely love the ideas. So inspiring 😁😁
The oppotunity was too good to pass up.
Super exited to see the next couple build videos 😁
Well done Luke, bloody impressive dude! The trail is looking mint👌🏼. You’re killing it dude, keep it up 👊🏼
Thanks Jules! Lots of hard work going into it.
That,s awesome that build was so good
Thanks mate. A bit sketchy with the chainsaw but it worked lol
Fantastic work buddy, this line looks great🙌. Keep up the good work and have a nice weekend🤙
Thanks legend! The trail is coming together nicely. I just realised I'm not subscribed to your channel. I'll be checking out some videos tonight for sure. Cheers
@@cutlaps Thank you very much for your support, I appreciate it. Keep up the great video buddy and take care
Love your videos and super sick trail builds!! Would love to ride those trails any day 🤙
Thank you! The trail is coming along great at the moment. I'm glad you have been enjoing the videos.
You should get a milling chain, or also called a skip tooth. They are cut at a 10° angle rather than 30° and it’s more aggressive specifically for Alaskan milling.
Hey Trail Jockey! Cool I can see you have gone through and watched lots of my videos. Thanks. I have a couple of skip tooth chains, but I find I get a quicker cut with my regular chain. I have 90cc chainsaw and I'm not making very thick cuts, so it's not getting bogged down at all (one of the main reasons for skip tooth chains is it takes less wood at a time allowing for higher revs). A skip tooth chain also creates a smoother finish, which is great when using the wood for building furniture, but for the trail it really doesn't matter to me. The main reason that I find it quicker than the skip tooth is sharpening. I have the Stihl 2 in 1 sharpner that is so easy to use to get it super sharp and it's doesn't work on skip tooth chains. My hand filing skills are a bit crap lol. Really should work on that a bit more. Thats just been my personal experience with milling.
Loving it, keep it up. Enjoying the word work you do and it keeps me entertained late in the night :)
Cheers mate! I hope to do lots more wood work this summer.
@@cutlaps I’ll be here watching them all lol
@@cutlaps p.s might buy one of the shirts towards or mayeb after the new year as a little gift to myself :)
@@drewblea5108 awesome, thanks for the support!
@@cutlaps no problem
It is an amazing day to watch you build and I've made some mtb trails myself
Very cool! Tell me a bit about your trails. I really enjoy building.
This is looking so fun 🤙!
Yeah bud. Loving it
Great stuff, my mate put me onto your channel today while we were out raking our own trail, looking forward to more.
Hey Trevor. Welcome to my channel, stoked you like it. That's cool you guys have your own trail. It's the best feeling riding your own trail.
love the sketchyness bro
Haha me too. Lots of my friends aren't a fan though haha.
@@cutlaps hahah yeah I’m in the same boat I think they are just little babies 👶 🤣😂
The creativity, accompanied by vision and skill is incomparable
Thanks mate! There was a vision but the skill was pretty much learnt on the spot. I like to get out there and give it a go and wasn't sure if it would work or not. But it turned out great. Thanks for watching.
That was awesome to watch mate, it’s coming along incredibly. Smashing it Luke 👊
Thanks Steve. I dind't have much skinny experience so I am pleased I built this.
Nice one Luke …. Building some awesome features
Thanks David. I think this one added a bit more variety to the trail.
@@cutlaps yeah definitely
Loving this series!
Cheers mate. I've been having a great time making it.
very cool, nice work!
Cheers Ben! Thanks for your support! New episode just came out as well!!
Loving the track build mate looks awesome 👌
Thanks Luke! I love the look of the wood against the lush green.
@@cutlaps yeah looks awesome mate 👌
I really enjoy watching these videos and have inspired bits in my trail
Very cool you are building a trail as well. Tell me a little bit about it.
@@cutlaps
Well we’ve got two gaps and a few jump lines and a natural drop
@@Amtbguy Sounds good. I really need to build a decent jump line for myself out in the open. I am pretty bad at jumps but haven't spent much time practicing.
@@cutlaps I will probably do videos on my trails soon
@@Amtbguy cool, I would love to see that. Make sure you let me know when the first video is ready.
Just started watching the channel. Doing some great work there keep it up
Thanks Mike. Welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing.
So sick!
Cheers Jack. Adds a bit of spice to the trail.
Damn it really does look scary! I didn't realise from the insta post that it was 2m up... wouldn't want to fall that's for sure. Well done dude 👍. No hesitation in riding it either
Thanks mate! Yeah it was a bit hard to see on the insta post. Na this one didn't scare me all that much. Maybe it should have haha.
Dude this is awesome
Cheers mate!
so cool
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Sick man ! Can’t wait for more.
Thanks Will! I think i'm going to head back up the trail and fix up the middle section next. Make it nice and flowy and add some big berms.
Your build stuff is so good dude. I learned some things from this and I have a log very similar at Everstoke that I was thinking of turning into a skinny. Now I know how to go about it.
I think I know the exact log you are talking about. The skinny of doom from your last video? Glad to have helped out. Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.
@@cutlaps yep, that's the one. It is also in my thumbnail
Nice, good luck with it. I thought it was going to be way more hairy working the chainsaw on the balance beam. But because the mill is so slow going it was fine.
You are the coolest 😎 hope you have fun on that 😀
Thanks mate! I'm not sure fun is the right word. It still scares me when riding it haha.
Definitely a challenge, narrow & 2m up 😱
A great episode Luke 🤘
Thanks mate. I'm glad I didn't make it too narrow. It would have been a one time ride for the video then haha. This is a good challenge I think
Turns out awesome man!! Love the effort taken to use this where it is
Thanks Chris! This tree fell across the trail when I was filming the first episode. I knew excatly what I wanted to do as soon as I saw it. Stoked with how it turned out.
Hi
you really really deserve more subs. you're awsome.
Thank you! The subs are growing which is great. I need to get focussed and release more videos.
That is so sick!!!!! 🤙🏻
Thanks guys. I just checked out your channel. The bike park looks fun!
I just want to say... Your trail is amazing and I am stoked to see what you add to it in the future. (Wish I could ride it)
Awesome thanks so much for watching. One day I would love to build a public trail so everyone can come and ride.
So freaking cool!!!!
Thanks mate!
900th subscriber!
Keep that content up and I’m sure your subs will soar dude! Lovely work!!!
Hell yeah!!! Thanks for being my 900th subscriber. Stoked you found the channel. Make sure you check out some of the other episodes. One of my favourites is the boner log. th-cam.com/video/vWMkXBEtubs/w-d-xo.html
@@cutlaps I’ll be sure to check out more of your videos this evening!
Thanks mate. Let me know which one is your favourite.
Amazing
Thanks mate!
Awesome videos.
Thanks mate. Glad you are enjoying them.
Wow! Just wow!
We rode "Somewhere Good" in Glengarry, Victoria 2 weeks ago and that place is riddled with these skinny logs. But yours take it up a notch higher with that 2 meter drop!!
But it's another level of fun without going fast, or jumping high.
I'm really keen to see how the rest of the trail goes, it's such an amazing build!!!
Cheers Jake! I had a good session riding this yesterday. I hadn't been on it for a few months. I usually take the drop line but it was good to ride over the bridge again. Still makes me nervous haha.
I love your videos!
Thank you! I have a lot of fun making them so it's great to hear when people enjoy them as well.
Wow! It’s so nice that you notice me. I was sick this week and just discover your channel. Great content, and I love your dog!
@@sofirerocker143 I'm sick this week as well. I'm on the couch with covid! Been too long since I have been able to work on the trail. Really glad you enjoy the videos and I hope to bring you another one soon. Aggie the dog has a good time out at the trail as well. Always sitting on the fresh cut wood lol.
I hope you feel better soon and built for us more special features. I really wanna see how Aggie runs behind you when you give it a test ride!
@@sofirerocker143 haha I should put a camera on her and get her to chase me down the trail. Thank you
sick bro, this trail is awesome. I’ve been trying to build some stuff and film some of it and it gives me more respect for everything you do!
It's a lot of work building and filming it all but it's a lot of fun. Keep it up, I have just subscribed to your channel.
@@cutlaps thanks!
good stuff
Thanks mate!
Awesome
Thanks mate!
thats insane ! deserve more subscriber
Cheers dude! That was a really fun feature to build. Thanks for watching.
