- I've never used an excavator, but I want to build a jump trail anyways. Luckily for me, the people at Meadowbank MTB have let me loose on their trail network! Can I build a decent jump trail?

Excited for bc pov
Protip: You shouldn't be able to clear the jumps that easy when its fresh. Once they've had weeks/months to set, you're gonna be sending those to flat without trying! When it's freshly built, you should be casing the landings!
looks pretty cool! But why don't you put clay on top as the surface? That will pack better than the sandy soil wouldn't it?
I think we have much different dirt to work with then they do Jordan…. Bc clay isn’t the same as Alberta clay. Never mind whatever that lumpy junk he had is.
It doesn’t pack well without moisture. Keep in mind this is close to pure clay. Not like the clay we have in bc which still has mineral content.
Even if it did have moisture it would crack as it rains and dries.
@@BCpov I see, makes sense!
@@BCpov Where and what is that post wrap you used on Stone Starlet? It's called RESIST but I cannot find it anywhere!
We do the same, pure clay is like butter in the sun after rain. A thin layer of sand is a huge difference and the clay will creep trough eventually, making the layer concrete alike.
Nice build. Our family ran into you and Yuka at Bright. Actually my wife and two boys did, I was climbing because i couldn't get a shuttle ticket! Keep the content rolling in. Keen to see the end of this project.
Dude you got the hang of the excavator quick! Also, very relatable watching you lose your mind in the digger. Loved it
haha, it can be slightly mind numbing in there!
Love it! I've been an excavator operator for about 18 years and watching your learning experience and how the trail comes together is fantastic. I've only had the chance to build trails with machines a few times and man is it fun compared to civil and mining duties!
I can image moving dirt around and making things flat might be a little less exciting 🙂
After digging with a shovel for 15 years I've found myself finally in the cab of a digger this year. I would love to have a tilt bucket like yours! Building crazy shapes without one is so hard. Keep up the good work dude! Can't wait to see the results.
Holy shit man! You are becoming my F…..N hero!!! I have been building and maintaining trails for around 15 years, I run excavator and snowcat, and you have surpassed my expectations for your machine skills!!! Keep ripping it up man!
Thanks! 🙂
It may took a year but it was worth the weight as the saying goes all good things come to those who wait on this video was definitely a good thing love you hard work at Erik Never mind slow and steady wins the race slow and shredded puts a smile on your face lol
I think I had an aneurism trying to read that.
@@InnyShears I have learning difficulties and big hards so using iPhone keyboard is a nightmare for me that’s why I use double spacing in my comments so it’s easier for people to read my comments normally I get about 3 replies a Week saying why so many double spaces Hate messages or people taking the Mick I don’t care if people take the Mickey out of me we all have problems and difficulties in our daily life so we Have to adapt our daily life To suit whatever problems and difficulties we have in life as long as people can read my comments that’s what I care about
@@ashleytombs how does double spacing make anything easier??
@@Incip1I won’t put any double space in this reply so you can tell the difference I know my comments are hard to read but using double spaces it makes it a little bit easier I try my best So people can read my comments if you find them hard to read just don’t read them
So glad that bc Pov is back after even a few months. I’ve been so bored
Dude! We did the same thing to our taco Hoochie! We ended up having to drain the tank with the fuel pump because the drain on the tank was plugged and would not flow very well. But a flush of the primary filter and replacement of the secondary filter it fired up just fine just like you guys! And I was the one who put the petrol in the diesel can but I was under the impression it was diesel! So a tip for the not so wise always smell your diesel before putting it in your excavator!
Y’all should come down and try riding the McCall/Donnelly area in Idaho. There are endless trails of all varieties and it’s a lot closer drive than Bentonville! I personally think the trails are the best in Idaho, and so do most Idahoans.
Also love seeing you guys going you own paths while keeping the relationship nice and loving, I mean love this kind of relationship, you are an amazing example for me thank you
I wonder if you and yuka could do videos explaining your go pros/ mics and the equipment you use and why? This is a minefield for beginners.
It’s so great to see your content again. I watched your channel all summer last summer while I was injured and it helped motivate me to get back out on the trails. Thanks so much for being an inspiration to this community!
Been waiting for this, need more frequent updates. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Eric I was lucky enough to see you in derby when you were riding with Yuka.
a few months earlier I was even lucky enough to ride at meadow bank due to a close friend who's related to the owner of the place.
even driving up in the buggy to the top was a mission. love your videos hope to see more vids like this
It’s my uncles place
Your trailbuilding videos are always entertaining and educating at the same time 🙌
Hoping to bump into you around Adelaide if you visit South Australia! Recommend visiting Fox Creek MTB Park before you head back to Canada
Looks amazing now, can’t wait for the rest ❤
amazing trail building i live in hobart and saw you i love your videos keep on uploading
I love these clips. They show that there's much to trailbuilding than meets the eye❤
For your first time in an excavator you killed it!
2 things I have on my bucket list. Going out there and riding trails again!! I’ve been away from riding for many years!! This has definitely lit a fire in me. And it’s at a vineyard also!!! Thank you!!
You and Yuka's video are my favorite MTB youtube content. Seth is #2! Whenever I see you guys post I have to stop what I'm doing and watch. It's my guilty pleasure. Keep up the videos, the story aspect keep me hooked.
Looks great Eric! I will definitely have to make the trip from up north in Penguin down to Meadowbank to ride your new trail.
If you guys are still in the state, I’d be happy to show you around the trails we have on the Northwest coast of Tassie 😎
YESSSSSS A NEW VID!!!
Exited to see this video! I already know this video is gonna be awesome
Nice one Eric! Good times 🤙🚴♀️❤️
Thanks for the help out there!
Great to see you back. I have been missing your videos.
Such a great video. The trail is looking amazing well done Eric! Love seeing you guys in tassie exploring 🙏🤙
久しぶり！ Nice to see you out there again!
your editing style has such a distinctive personality
while you are at tassie did you ride air ya garn at blue derby and hazy dayz they are the two main jump lines. also try the st helens tracks on send helens.
Great video 👍🚵🏻 I’ve missed your updates. Keep them coming ok forward to this trail build
Damn, gas in the diesel tank 😳
You're finally back! We've missed you BC POV!!
I love ur videos u are by far my favourite mtb youtuber
Man I love building trails. There's nothing like figuring out a new shape, tool or technique! Great video
Awesome!
I’ve booked on to a ride day here in July. Can’t wait to check it out
I'm really looking forward to hitting those Meadowbank trails. They look sweet!
Great to see you’re still alive. We thought you’d got lost in Australia somewhere 😂. Trail is going to be amazing. Looking forward to riding it on our next Tassie trip!
Great video Eric. Glad you got the excavator figured out without incident 😀
Nice one Eric! looks like it flows well so far,
so cool to see you leave your trail building mark in Australia, hopefully i can get down to ride it one day
Looks super fun. I'd love to get the hang of working with one of those as well. It's been all by hand for me so far.
No new videos since two month. Is every okay with Yuka und you?
Yuka posted recently.
I was wondering the same thing.
Super ça 👍
Tassie local here. I know the trail you worked on. Was cool to come across your build video!
Once that dirt firms up prepare to over clear those by a mile haha. Amazing looking trail so far!
So far, you're the only comment I've seen that gets it lol I saw him clearing that fresh line so easily... like WTF
Usually use my EMTB for trail testing, and even then I wanna be casing freshly built stuff!
A compactor plate after you’re rolling compression passes really gives the surface a hardened finish
Awesome cool
Nice video!❤
early morning bcpov love to see it :D
looks sick dude
love your content
Your next video should be a compilation of noises that Yuka makes
Bcpov why haven’t you made a video in so long
So good to hear what’s happening. Have you been able to get to the mean range MTB park?
The new track, flow monster is great.
Dude! Time to market those trail building skills.
Hey Bcpov, I have a bike park I wanted you to visit, but ill get to that later. I think you should do a follower series, where we pick bike parks for you to visit and you give us your opinion on it. Just an idea though, I want you to visit Trestle Bike Park Colorado. love you channel bye 😊( Like if you Like the idea )
You should print out a shot of you in the excavator and put a description under it: "Day One in Trail-Building School" :-D
All jumps tables, easy to roll through, and safe to case…sounds like my kind of line.
I have loved sand and dirt since I was a small boy
yay!
Never thought id see the day BCPOV comes to my home and become a tradie using machinery in tassie.
Nice.
You should come too Perth in Western Australia there’s this well known double black jump line called rampage
It would be a dream for many of us to build a trail like this.
If you're in Australia, you must go to Melrose, an amazing MTB town. It's a few hours up from Adelaide in South Australia.
Amazing how some can just take a blank piece of dirt and transform it into smiles!
It was fun to watch his hair grow from a buzz to normal again
Love this video and if your every in nj or around that area try going to mountain creek bike park
Finally a new vid
Quite entertaining watching the struggle against getting our soil to actually do what you want…it never does
Great video! Did you end up moving to Australia?
Awesome effort to make something sweet out of a blank canvas.
its my favorite mtb i love watching rollups on gopro
its ok to be depressed. its good for you, it makes you appreciate the good times.
Sick
Loved the video tho to me janky Northshore features will always be more appealing that dirt-highways ❤
lets goooooo
you should build a sark fin, this was your best feature on your last build.
cool, was wondering what you were up too in that thing
Great stuff! I guess I have to save up for a new toy.
I'll come over and "help" 🙂
Nice work ! What was the app you used to calculate de degree of the slope?
@BCpov when are you going to uploud the next half of this build?
great video eric. you have inspired me to build some trails on my property. if, you are bored you can build some trails on my property in arizona. i'll even get you a tractor! lol.
just moved to bc! would love to get to know some of these trails! i'm actually in smithers, :D
super cool. Know what you mean about learning. I had a mini ex for a week while digging out my pool. Man it felt so slow the first couple of times. By the end I was getting good, just in time to return it.
Cewl Project!
Was not expecting to see Simon on a yt video 🤙
He's got a TH-cam channel now, Blacksnake trails
Haha you just never know where I'll pop up Dutchy 😅
You should go to the meehan! its great
I waited so long for a vid so long I saw him irl
Nice work Eric 🤙🏼. How was your time with Luke and Jaron?
Great, nice guys.
We need a bigga digga 😆
BCpov, where are you? Where's Yuka. I've been missing your content. Is overthink ok? Are you stuck in Tasmania?
Au pov is great
Can you pls go to New Zealand because right now it’s skii season and the bike park is still open here in Christchurch.
