Berm Peak: Can I clear the most famous backyard trail in the world?
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 13. 06. 2020
- Last summer I hit the biggest jumps of my life on Whistler's A-Line and Dirt Merchant trails. Today I have a different sort of challenge, one that has been testing me both physically and mentally for over 3 months! Join me as I attempt to ride every single feature in Seth's back yard, and become the second person ever to conquer Berm Peak and all of it's sketchy features!

Unless you have been living in a cave for the past year⊠or maybe a van⊠youâve probably been following along with our friend Seth as heâs begun to build what is now the most famous backyard trail system in the world: Berm Peak.
Ever since Iâve known Seth, heâs had a healthy appetite for all things sketchy. A fact that he has clearly seen in his own trail building.
Like everyone else, I too was on the outside looking in as Seth continued to add to his collection of sketchy and challenging features, some of which looked straight out of the North Shore!
As I watched Seth and many other competent riders, struggle to ride these features, I realized that this was exactly the challenge I needed: if I can successfully ride every single feature at Berm Peak, I will without a doubt have become a more proficient technical rider, and possibly even more importantly - have the bragging rights of being the only one besides Seth to do so! - ZĂĄbava
My guy riding like he can respawn.

So true

+1 stellar video
Net? Winning
@@The_Sampler can quickly fix bikes but broken bones suck, rear wheel case hardly ever hurts rider.
@@The_Sampler what is the good news Seth said at the end of the video? .... we are on the edge here!!!
@@The_Sampler Hotel? trivago
@@TheKb117 the best news: he is still alive and hasn't even broken any bone yet still cleared every feature.
What better news could there be?
Legend has it, that Seth still hasn't told Alex the good news.
What good news

Alex: that looks sketchy as h*ll
Seth: I can not tell you how accurate your assessment is
I like the black capped chickadee profile picture
You should hang this wheel and this saddle on a tree beside the Whale.... as a reminder of what's coming! Like a trophy for the Whale, she killed that!
Moby DickÂŽs revenge
was even a white bike too
Paul jr St-Jacques its a he btw
Paul jr St-Jacques you know that a man you said she
alfie Butler pretty sure he was talking about the whale when he said "she" not the rider.
Hey guys! I'm SO STOKED to finally share this video with you, and though it was really scary to scrap my first draft and start all over, I'm now so proud and stoked about how it all came out and I really hope you all dig it too! LFRHGS my friends! I'll see ya in the next one đ€
It was worth the wait. That came out great! It really captures the mental challenges of the sport.
The Singletrack Sampler it was a fun video to watch
This is one of the most compelling videos youâve made... and that is saying a lot! I am sorry about your bike and glad you are okay. The way this ended was so great! Weâve all been there. Epic ride, pushing hard to finish strong, and in the next second... disaster (and a lack of closure or finish)! Youâve captured the highs and lows of MTB without a trip to the hospital.
Best cinematography Iâve seen on your channel! Way to keep progressing in more ways than one!
The ending đđ hope you're ok man
Seth: You know cuz its the MAIM Frame
SS: Yeah no we got it
A bit late but you might want to rephrase that
The ss part
@@techyturtle3404 why
@@dirtycommtroop uhh ww2
@@techyturtle3404 what about it
The attitude you had towards that at the end was amazing. Taking the good out of everything and being able to laugh with it like you do is what I aspire to be able to do my dude.
I just found your channel and every video feels like a mini documentary. I love it
Welcome to the fam!
Im here since around 7k subs and i still LOVE it, thanks Alex im 15 and i started 3 years ago and now i send double blacks and I can keep up with with the best local riders .
I never thought i'd ever be able to say this, heck i even got some of my Friends hooked on mtb's ond met many new nice people MTB 4 lifeđ€đ€
Your in for a treat, this channel is unreal!!
I'm looking forward to watching Phil clear "The Kevin jump" on his first try lol
is Phil going out to Seths Berm Peak?
Yeah!
He would then try to jump straight into the wooden berm
I was literally thinking about this channel today but I could not remember what the name was, all I knew was the I wanted to watch more videos. Literally and hour and a half later your channel shows up in my recommended and I was so happy!
Glad you found me again! đ
My palms got sweaty for you. I remember how sweaty I was hitting some moderate difficulty features my first time! Feels so free to finally have the confidence to do it!!
... "but you wanna hear the good news?"
we never heard the good news..
We must know the good news
I think it was 'the videos over'.. But that's bad news :( lol
2020 be like...
Yesss I know Iâm like noooooo what was it
The truth is out there....
I guess we'll never know what Seth's good news was after all
That is called a cliff hanger.They need something to talk about in the next video.I bet he will say the frame is OK.
It felt like he was about to tell a joke to me
@@bobsturgis4674 the frame is fine. It will be unrelated tho I think.
@@bobsturgis4674 I think Seth has some rims to put in there haha
@@didaccarbasa7676 I agree. Seth probably has enough spare time, dropper posts or even spare bikes ^^
5:39 "But for Seth, it's a Cake Walk."
Haha, I see what you did there.
Sethâs face on 5:58 is the same face I make when my teachers try to teach me something new during a zoom meeting
Hahaha, dude; love the ending! đ
At 14:37 the seat is already skewed. Definitely not the ending I was suspecting lol
Yeah I'm pretty sure they went back to film it more dramatically as a joke because you can also see in the next shot his back tire is completly flat.
No it isn't that's just what Ergon seats look like. The tire is running normal low pressure.
Jeff Bell yeah I thought it looked rather squishy!
Ya for some reason it looked sideways
That gentle dig at the end "Well you want to hear the good news?" "Think the video's over". Brilliant.
Nice! Seeing you work through the process of overcoming these features really inspires me to progress on this type of riding. You and Seth working on A-Line gave me the confidence to clear all of A-Line on my first trip to Whistler at the end of last summer. Thank you for that!
Just watched Seth make an omelet and now this. Best Sunday morning ever
Its Sunday evening in Germany but its still good
I just got back from a ride when I saw sethâs vid, then saw this right after my shower! Truly the best Sunday morning ever
Yeah, im eating my own omlett in germany right now while watching this. haha
I agree
one of the best episode of singletrack sampler.. the way you carry the viewer's emotion and all, and ending it with getting back to reality. successfully bringing me in the emotional journey. daayuumm! Thank you, Alex!
The funniest ending to any MTB channel vid Iâve seen đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł HIGH Larius đ
BRO I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE UR ENERGY IT IS JUST AMAZING đ UR JUST so confident btw I love ur vids
Berm Peak is hands down, one of the top 3 backyard mountain bike trails and it has inspired us to make our own backyard MTB trail and document it on CZcams.
Matt Jones and Eric porter are the other two I assume
What do you mean? Itâs number one!
Definitely but in a year its gonna be #1
Interesting. Where can I watche the other two? I really like these kind of projects.
@@k0bi586 matt Jones is currently doing a lockdown series making backyard jumps on his yt and Eric porters CZcams channel
We never heard sethâs good news...
Exactly what I thought đł
We need the good news!
guys like that comment for good news!
Let's hear the good news everyone!
Because there was no good news đ
Hi Alex, that was so awesome you got the jump you were stuck on. I really love the way you show what you struggle with and the mental game - âI just decided and I didâ so many things I can psych myself out on so I really relate to that. Thank you. Iâm so sorry about your bike
If you ever go to Australia go to Victoriaâs mystic mountain in bright
dude! totally worth the wait! great content man! great to have ya back, posting A+ content.
I'll admit... i have not watched your vids since the van build.... the quality is so much better than it was in the past. I like MTB vids but first person views of trails get old after awhile... this is great! Love the new style!
So great to bring the trail into focus with that case. All the more awesome you made it Alex.
Hey Sampler, Ive watched a ton of your videos this past couple of years and they are all great! BUT...i personally think the quality of shots and editing has skyrocketed since your brief hiatus! They are always inspiring to watch!!! I see and appreciate the hard work put into the videos!!! Thanks
You guys are Hollywood level now with your production quality. I still wanna hear what the good news is! WHAT'S THE GOOD NEWS!!!
I almost clicked away before the full run at the end. Glad I didn't, I was not expecting that. but what was Seth's "good news"?
Glad you took the extra time this video turned out fantastic!
Love it. I like how you're telling stories with your videos.
That ending tho, wow
8:02 alex nearly became alexis
LMFAOOO BRUH IM DEAD
It's a man name in my language.
He nearly became Alexa or Alexandra !
Bruh he became alexandra
Man i feel like when i watch you ride its like i'm watching myself ride. Your thought processes and mental build ups are something that resonated with me so hard.
I can't stop watching these. You two are awesome. Well done
Sick video once again whatâs better then watching them on a Sunday. He has inspired me to start my own channel.
I wish it was Saturday! I love how both Seth and Alex posted on the same day!
It's Sunday morning
Well in Greece it is Sunday afternoon
Sunday afternoon
Uhh, its Sunday lolđ
This video's end is like the ending of an episode of a Netflix series. There are so many questions!
Alex, your youtube content is amazing and I hope you continue to make videos as high quality as this one! I can see the hard work put into every video that comes out. Thanks for always sharing your story!
Our own unique experience and riding styles that shape the lens through which we see trails/lines. I like that.
14:43 back tire looks already deflated going down from the flight deck.
Man The Editing and voice lines are on Point!
thanks dude!
The Singletrack Sampler bro your rim is GONE. Best you can do I think is get a new saddle and rim, but Iâm just stating the obvious arenât I?
Sounds like itâs time for a new bike...or at least a good excuse for one! đ
Worth the wait. Thanks for taking the time you wanted.
Great video Alex, amazing work!!
The ifht sytle editing at the end beautiful
Nice work Alex , well done , really enjoyed the vid
Who else doesnât want him to leave Berm Peak?
it should atleast be his home base or something!
same
Yes
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!
Glad we waited. That was a super sweet video. Many thanks đ
Totally worth the wait. Awesome vid Alex. You tell a great story
Is it weird that I like watching you and Seth make omelettes as much as I like watching you guys ride?
Not weird, maybe we all are ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Y e s
alex really just left us hanging at the end with not telling us what the good news was
Love the realness at the end. Cant wait for the next Video!
Dope video man! Always stoked to see riders progress and conquer features!
Thank you trail Jesus
At the end during the "montage" I thought the rear tyre looked flat on the first feature. Certainly was after the whale :s
rip
Yeah for sure, looked like it was lower than 20psi
Some people run low tire pressure, some run lighter tires. We will never know.
@@bananasstuff3344 Nah, we know. Look at the saddle on that shot too.
Totally worth the wait, the cuts music angles and everything else came together to form an amazing video keep up the good work and dont stress the videos.
How you laugh at everything is one of the best things about this channel! I've been enjoying all these Berm Peak cameos.
Awesome đ ....I was on the edge of my seat every time you did a run up to the snake pit gap. Canât believe you cracked your rear rim...(better the rim than your leg though). Canât wait to see what you can do on the airbag jump!!!
Interesting. I thought it was a play on an âAâ frame. Like the roof style. Similar shape, but the turn is how a guy gets maimed.
To come back and watch the video that got me into mountain biking two years later is so cool
Loved this video! Made me want to hit all the features I havenât done yet on my home-town trails @Santos
I'm sorry Alex lol I watched Seth make some breakfast before coming here đ€Ł
Same dude
Yup, that's most of us. I think?
If it weren't for that omelette, I'm not sure I woulda made it over the snake gap, so I don't blame you!
Yep..... The dogs ate better than me this mornin'.....
Great vid man keep it up truly... you and Seth both got me into mountain biking.
Also Drama and Oscar both ate better then me too this morning lol
Legend says that everyone is still waiting for Seth to tell us the good news.

Why u got to copyđ
Bro stop stealing your not cool
@@venolicious9049 ur literally replying to a year old comment
@@Mark-gd5vr then why are you replying if it's a year old
So awesome, congrats!!
Enjoyed the video. I love berm peak and you being there.
This video is a sick edit! Congrats on clearing Berm Peak and I'm glad you only killed the bike and not you. LOL
Lmfao that was the best. I even made my screen all big ready for the insane run and BONK!! so good so good!
Awesome video Alex! Keep up the great work.
Love the ending! The reality of riding.
@1:03 he had to đź lol I wanna see more backyard fails
âWell you wanna hear the good newsâ *video ends*
I love how pumped Alex gets !! Good job brotha đ
Dude, honestly my favorite video yet. The editing and narrative was so dialed! Amazing how good your videos have gotten. REALLY wish that epic scene at the end wasnât cut short though. You should make an entire cinematic video like that soon!
Can we get an honest opinion of Seths omelette
DJBTicic yes.
I clicked this first hope to see you agian
I got really hungry
Someone else asked him, and he said between a 1-10, it was a 9.2
11:45 dude Iâm pretty sure we have the exact same bike, shocks and everything, the only thing different (that I can notice) is that you have a thinner seat than I do. Keep up the good work man!
Do you have both pedals?
Loved the twist at the end!!!
Thanks for the great start to a Monday. Sorry about the bike, happy that it was just the bike.
The video production and content is excellent. I am glad you took the time you needed to get it the way you wanted. It is your creation and it is most important that you are happy with what you create. Cheers.
Alex-thank you for showing the "human" side--the "oh man I hope I can do this but if I can't this is going to suck..." side. I find myself there a lot!! Love the videos...

Great content and good job clearing the trail!
That was a great video. I admire you for going after it even if it was scary. The feeling of nailing hard and scary features is just elation!
Him passing the snake pit gap was like me going on my first water slide when I was 6
"Every rider is different, each with their own unique experiences and riding styles that shape the lense through which we see trails." Very well said. Never even thought of it this way but it's so true.
the videos have gotten way better these last few months. you're telling a great story here, keep it up!
You guys are crazy!!! Good job!!!!!
Seth didnt said it all, âtheres no such thing as jinx, because I believe in youâ
How good was the omelet from 1 to 10
9.2
The Singletrack Sampler thatâs pretty good.
Awesooooome!!!
Great riding Alex.....until the very end.
Just started watching your videos. Love the content and always cheering ya on! Good luck and have fun!
Wait so what was the good news from seth lmao
Hes still alive, is a good enough news :D
You know what, I'm having second thoughts about wanting to ride at Seth's
Oohhh amazing, I was hoping this would happen! Cheers guys.
Your videos are MAD entertaining. I love them man. Keep doing what you love, because it shows BIG time!
I like that there are giant stumps left lying around to cushion your fall
Love the real ending. Would have been simple to pull a wheel of another bike and do the run. This was better.
Seth: "There's no such thing as jinxing"
Kevin Jump: 14:45 đ
Love that you called it on that first attempt of the snake gap. Big props
