TRANSFORMING AN ABANDONED BARN INTO THE DREAM GARAGE!!

- I'm so excited about this new project. I've bought a farm... This is going to be such an amazing journey of building, riding, renovating and driving projects! I have lots of land for building MTB and BMX dirt jumps, which can accompany the Playground as a new and legendary backyard trails build. I've also got the Nomad to put to use with a car or buggy track, and of course a pit bike track has to be on the list surely? Enjoy the building process of transforming this abandoned barn into my dream MTB workshop garage. It's so unreal and needs more adding to it so please give me some ideas and inspiration in the comments. What do you think of the layout and all the bikes? Thanks Park Tool for the bike tools.

The hole in the floor reminds me of some kind of tomb you see in a museum. You should fill it with soil, add lights and put all the things that have snapped, broken (frames,forks,helmets) or almost killed you! I also love your videos and love to see what you guys get up to!
Yes make it a graveyard
I like this idea!!
Love the idea
I was thinking the same, with a perpex lid. Would be cool
that is such a good idea
I love how Jamie has gradually progressed from a behind the scenes guy to one of the main characters
Reverse mythbusters
Hey Matt, heres the run down of what I feel would be great addition you your barn/ shop. If you stand facing your Park Tool wall, dedicate the entire left wall wall to an air brushed mural of Ben and Jaime. It could feature all the defining monents and backdrops of thier progression over the years. Other 2 walls in shop could be some crazy grafitti art of your favorite locations to ride.
Next, I suggest to have the current pictures you have hanging in the area under the stairs be blown up into wall murals in black and white the re-install some on the entire walls floor to ceiling. Use the remaining pictures the same way upstairs in the drop in area.
Lastly, install a space heater in the floor where the feed chute is now unsused. cover it with a custom laser cut grate.
Thanks for the awesome channel. I've destroyed my body doing what I love and now I'm uncapable of doing anything really fun on a bike. I now live my MTB dreams through you guys. You were the first channel I subscribed to on You Tube. Keep up the good work!
Kuddos to Ben and Jaime, they're pretty bad ass too.
Some acoustic panels on the walls would help and make filming audio much better as you use this space. Also I think you should use that trough as a planter and get some greenery in the room (even if fake plants) and maybe add some chairs for a bit of a lounge. Otherwise i'd keep it open so you have tons of room for bikes and people. So sick Matt!
Agree 🤪👍
I was about to put some thing down well put.
I love how Matt takes run down things and turns them into something incredible. Memorising
Mesmerizing * not having a pop just teaching for the future bro
You mean like he did with Jono and the boys?
Like Ben 😂
Kinda sound sus
@@mychaldiehm5382 ayyyy
Matt you should make a mini set of trails from the playground inside the trough and frame it and cover it with perspex. Love the new workshop cant wait to see what comes next
that would be cool
RC dumper trucks and diggers required for sure 😂
This was what I was going to suggest too.
Yesss for sure
This one Yh
Really impressive how you were able to consistently upload normal videos all while working on this place
Painting the walls white will make a huge difference, then add heating, surround sound, comfy chairs and foosball table in the open space. Big ass plants in the trough. Job done. Smashed it gents 💪🏻
Matt you 100% deserved this not just because of your amazing career but mainly cos your actually just a really nice bloke. The 3 of you are so good as a team. Cannot wait to see what the future holds. Well done fella 👏
couldn’t of said it better
For the trough you should put glass on the top with lights inside and have like a mini bike scene in with finger bikes and dirt jumps or a skatepark etc
I was just coming to write the same thing! A mini bike track/jump track. Lighting to make it look cool with a glass top.
A model of the Playground lit up with a glass lid 🤔
Put mini models of dirt jumps that you’ve built such as the hood old lock down jumps and for the future the playground also add the airbag jumps too and put some small lights and put double glazing so you can still walk on it Matt this would be such a cool piece I would be more than happy I would be ecstatic to do it for you
I keep on watching the intro because it’s so freaking good🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I think with the grain trough you should fit lights in the bottom, add mementos and cool memorabilia and then fill it with clear resin. It would make for an awesome bit of unique lighting that would be personalised to you - it would also serve as a bit of a time capsule that you could always see.
Also, he could just place some plexiglass plate on top instead of doing resin, this way he could adjust the display as years go by. Also, he could place a hidden safe in there. But a hidden safe that everyone knows about is probably not that useful.
Flipping hell. Matt never fails to make me happy. He always inspires me to do more things
Unreal! Can’t wait for the content to see this place come to life, should get a sofa and a tv in there. Dartboard and a pool table would be cool
For such an old shed, the end result is really awesome. It's nice to have everything in one place, hopefully no one breaks into your place!
For the feed troff.. put some hardy green plants in it. It will make the room pop with the black flooring and tool bench👌
The moo
If you build a slopestyle course on the farm, on top of everything else, you could host slopestyle events, maybe even some FMB or Red Bull things. It's like the dream location for anything. People could hang out in the farm, session the skatepark, and then drop in for some slopestyle or trails laps. This project is insane, and I'm really excited to see where it goes!
Matt truly is living the dream, and as he should, he defo deserves it👊
Trough/hole idea: Put a little spade or shovel in it and write BOOM underneath. Then cover it with plexiglass or plastic and add some explosion themed lights. Could be a fun easter egg for those of us that have been watching for a long time.
Yep, great idea: shovel in trough filled with primo dirt with cartoon BOOM! & nuclear mushroom cloud backdrop mural. Doesn't need to be a permanent fixture, can just be where your shovels & spades sit until needed again, that way you get to BOOM! each time you return them.
@@ManWalksDogs exactly, the details you explained make it perfect 💯
MATT HEAR ME OUT!! Since you love building jumps and obstacles, Why not build an aerial view of a miniature bike course in the trough!! make some mini dirt jumps/obstacles, put some LEDs in there, and then put a really thick clear “glass” to cover it. I think it would be a fun little challenge for you to make some miniature jumps, I think it would be unique and something that would set your garage apart from others.
maybe put a tv in the workshop, always nice to have some music or a show playing while you work on stuff!
Matt your living most of our dream life’s!!! Buzzing for you and couldn’t happen to a more decent guy!!!
Really looking forward to seeing the farm un fold!!!
Matt gets to do all of the dream projects I’ve always wanted to do… trails, jumps, bike park in a barn. This channel is everything I need in life. ❤ 👍
Didn't use enough water with the cement!
Dude this is SICK! love what your doing here! You absoluteley need a FOAM PIT! great vid Matt!
You guys have outdone yourself’s on this one, months of progress in just 15 minutes. Seeing it all come together was a pleasure to watch. The voiceovers tied it all togethers. Just amazing. Keep living the dream, much love
Hi you the best
Looking forward to seeing what comes of the whole barn, a skatepark sounds amazing.
I reckon painting the walls/plastering them with a nice bright colour (or just plain old white) to brighten the place up. You could also insulate it so you're not burning money trying to heat it over winter. How about building a little coffee bar as well in all that big space, walk through the door, theres the bar on the left, stairs on the right.
I was thinking exactly the same re the paint, needs brightening up a bit!
The brick wall is what makes the space epic. It’s character. It’s in a old barn.
Paint? Maybe, but it also has a nice rustic look, maybe leave some and paint some.
Insulation is probably not really worth it, with mild english winters you can probably do fine without heat for a few hours of tinkering (at least that has been my experience in Germany with similar climate). Of course it would be nice, but not worth installing a heating system or insulation for if it's just for private use.
@@RyanCranage Agreed. The work/industrial feel is perfect.
So it took this many years to finally get Matt to do voiceovers to an episode! Farm is another very unexpected but excellent addition to your channel contents!
I actually love all the side project/building videos you put out.
This has my OCD going crazy with loads of ideas of how to tweak it all.
As all the memorabilia is in here, you should have a sofa so you can just sit there and soak it all in.
Plus a table tennis table or pool table maybe will just top it for for when there is many people. Much love
Looks sick. It does sound a little hollow tho so it might be a good idea to put up some foam panels. that would be cool as decoration as well. Keep up the work🙌
Every time Jamies face is shown it screams "I am not being paid enough for this"
I don’t even own a bike but I live my childhood dreams vicariously through your videos. So sick to be able to do all that you do as a result of something you love. Hats off to you. Proper humble guy. And love the relationship you boys have!
Buy one dude there're sick
Definitely go buy a bike.
YES MATT! SO excited for you! I love this type of content and have always wanted to do this myself. This is going to be a great series! Congrats!
You should fill it with Red Bull.
Lob a bit of fake planting (can't see you watering plants) in that trough which would break up the space and help with sound... sooo Zen! Loving the barn, wish I had as much room in my bike cave. Also, add a sofa space in that bit on the left when you walk in plus a TV... dream gains!
@Matt Jones you should plant a hedge or some other plant in the hedge! Put a UV light in that will keep it fed with light. Would be a fun outside in "houseplant" feel. It would also contrast well with the industrial look of the workshop.
For the hole why not put a frame or fork? And have a glass cover? Be sick🔥
This is f**king sick cant wait for all the builds on this place.. Matt is the perfect example of hard work pays off
Congratulations Matthew. Hard work pays off.
For the trough my immediate thought is plants or some type of water feature. How chill and relaxing that would be to sit in your shop with the boys and just admire everything with a cold one.
The empty space by the wall would be a good spot for another tool box/work bench to “close off” the maintenance area or a couch. Just depends on the route you wanna go with it.
I would move the work stand closer to the work bench and tools. Maybe more towards the middle. To have easy access to everything you need while working on the bikes. Also make sure there is plenty of space around the work stands to move bikes around when needed. I'm a service tech at my local bike shop, and that's how I would set up the area. Good luck and keep being awesome!
That looks amazing! I am lowkey jealous now being a professional bike mechanic myself!
Suggestion; Call this place the Shred-Shed! Also, I would make a water feature out of the trough with a tiny fountain and flowing water hahah.
Hi Matt, that looks so sick 🤟 but one issue that I found was security. You should definitely get a half decent lock on your rigs ( especially your dream hard tail build with diamond and sapphire top cap😂) There is a hell of a lot of valuable stuff in there, you should definitely keep it safe.
Love the new place, i reckon the bunker would be a sick name for the place and a led sign up above the workstation would look great
I think painting block walls white would make a huge difference to the look on the workshop and would give you some light
Put something cool in that hole and put see through perspex over to seal it in. Something you can veiw and look at. Not sure what it would be though?
Woah do I watch Matt or Jono first???
Any answer will hurt feeling
Don't get fooled its the same person milking that add revenue! 🤣
Always matt first... Sorry Jono!
Jono
The geek in me really would have liked to see this whole build as like a 10-15 part series 😂 that’s why I got into Harry Main’s videos to be fair, his garage build series. Looks sick matt. Cracking work lads
I wished you lived near Barcelona because all this building iniciatives you bring in make the community grow so much and are an inspiration of truly well build bike areas
These daily updates are 🔥🔥
Bros buying every peice of land he sees😅
Matt's gonna buy another bit soon and turn it into a huge slip and slide compound, no hand rails needed..😄😄
Thats exactly what I'd be doing no doubt about it!🤙
You should fill it with dirt from the playground then it’s all you accomplishments in one room. Looks amazing guys well done to all.
You've got The Playground, this should be called The Playhouse! Also, throw some rollers in the trough for a stationary bike trainer / in-shop test bed!
You got a Miata ?
Love this place. I think a bike wash station would be the best for the hole in the ground. Just move the helmets to the right side and the Workstand into the open spay, because you want to have space around your bike if you want to fix it.
Love this place!
Maybe change out the big door for one that seals up properly and put in a couch and TV. For the trough thing Maybe an oddly placed tiny fish pond lol. Can't wait to the progress. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride
Put some memorabilia in there, lights and fill with clear resin or a class top with frame 👌
Awesome set up Matt,cant wait to see it all finished.LEGENDS.
You could move those shelves & put a moto lift in the pit. so it sits flush with the ground. A true ride on, ride off work station for the pit bike 🔥🔥 killer shop Matt.
What a space! Fully deserved. 👊😎
Indoor fern garden 🤘 The old troff should be filled with Loam from local trails and filled with ferns. It would look cool as!!
Ohhh baby this is going to be a lovely series
That place is absolutely awesome!! You should mount a triple crown Ohlins folk in the trough and then back light it and cover it in perspex, that would look mint!!👌
Few ideas for the trough..
1. A screen playing a loop of a bunch of your comps, crashes and projects
2. A bunch of memorabilia encased in resin
3. (Somewhat less practical or realistic) a fish tank
So sick Matt! Congrats and use it all in good health!!
This is insane! So happy for you. I think a Pool or Billard table would be really fun to have in the shop!
Just when you thought the vids can’t get any better you boys pull this out 🤯🤙🏻
Best bike cave ever ! Very jelly
Deck the area your bikes are stored. Can have a step up from the workshop area, nice fancy wood, can recess the bike holder slots to be flush with the floor, and the trough can be a water feature.
You should put a little garden in the troff with some bonsai trees . Brilliant vid .
You are honestly living the absolute dream, in an outbuilding a foam pit or resi would be sick
Loving the shed you need to put a couch for chilling while working on your bikes and a TV in to play all your videos you have made and a Kick-Ass sound system in there
Make the trough into a see through aquarium 😍😍😍 I think that would look sick. Or alternatively, you could make it into an epxoy resin art piece.
Looks awesome Matt, a nice big sofa against the wall across from the bike work stand would be ace.
Hey Matt I’ve got a few good name ideas for the barn, Skate Shack. Because it fits the theme of the skate park you want to put in., Bike Barn, because of all the bikes current and old, or Bike Shack
This is a sick video. In the mindset of keeping it simple, I’d just add some plants into the trough, as mountain bikers we love the outdoors, nature, the bush, but we also love the mechanical side of fixing our bikes etc why not bring some nature into your mechanical space, it would be the icing on the cake to that awesome workshop.
You could even gather some soil from a few of your iconic locations and use it to plant the plants.
Love the space. Have a think about putting some acoustic tiles or something similar in there to help deaden the sound a little bit. You can get some pretty slick looking slatted wooden panels that do a good job without looking nasty
Big up peaty at Travis Perkins Wrexham👌🏻🤘🏻
Clear epoxy 2 helmets on display nicely with a branded cap of yours as well, and talk about a dream setup well done
Add a custom aquarium somewhere, whith bike relared stuff as decoration, and like a halfare logo in it. I think it would be sick, seeing the fish swim around mini ramps and logos. Even if you cant really make it yourselves, there are companies building custom aquariums.
The trough needs a piece of hardened glass over it, you need a couch for mates to chill on and a massive red bull logo above the park tool bench on the wall. Trick looking fit out mate.
The trough is easy.... Fish tank!!! But - rather than crappy castles etc., get a clone of the backyard trail made for the floor of the fish tank. Lit up fish-tank with the fish looking for some new lines through the trails
Love the new place Matt !!! I would paint the walls in the workshop or panel it with some checker plate sheet metal for that industrial look. Can't wait to see it finished?
Add some kind of big table or something in the open area. something that you could work from or layout parts you're installing. you can do whatever you want, but maybe something to consider. Maybe lay a piece of acrylic over the "trough" area that's flush with the floor the pitbike sits on. maybe put something under the acrylic or just leave it empty to look into.
I think a lot of people have the same dream about owning a farm and converting it into a massive playground of dirt tracks.
The hole in the ground should be mirrored on the sides of it angled with seem cool LED lighting and the a Perspex cover or even a stand on top so it lights up.
The empty space you should invest in a foosball.
Epic Matt. It needs a pool table. Dart board , sofa . And the troff could have a grate over it and you (well Jamie) could build some sort of heat source in it, basically a funky Fire place kinda thing ? Then up stairs could be a full on chill out , lazing area with giant tv, Sofas. Endless redbull and you can film the new Matt Jones podcasts from 😉 . Also you need a wheel that you can spin to decide what happens next . Viewers to suggest what goes on the wheel . 👍
Some indoor plants - greenery would really pop against the black floor & grey block walls!
Sick set up MJ!
Hole in the floor should be a lit glass/perspex display cabinet.
Love your content. Keep it up.
The trough in the ground would suit like a fitted fire place for comfort and the cold weather
love the place -should paint the cinderblock walls a nice dark grey or something!
We actually love jamie he seems like the best friend for every job you should do a big Jamie video for the legend I recon
The hole in the floor make it a flower bed brighten inside with outdoor vibe
Really looking forward to see what the projects around the farm will be! Great content as always from you and your team, Matt!
Should add a computer and monitor so that you can reference manuals etc - some kind of couch for chilling - definitely a parts washer. Like the shop - we built a sliding , hanging rack for bikes in our basement - using a barn door rail and bike hooks.
This is so sick! Also would love to see Matt get back on the BMX and ride it more, cheers to you guys
That trough in the floor dude needs some indoor plants, would look super cool amongst all that metal and coolness 🤟✨
Cheers to you 🤟🎶
Add a seating area w/coffee table. Make it a space that people can hangout in while bikes are being worked on. The grain trough could be some sort of planter box, add some green to the space!
Will enjoy following along with these builds!
For that old chicken feed/hopper thing in the ground. thats where you could put either 1. wifi and cable management. 2. a computer that could have multiple displays, or 3. a place to store all your portables( such as bike pump, tools, harnesses, and what not.) Also amazing job on the shop
I know you said the area up the stairs would be good for storage. BUT, since you're already building a skate park in the building, it would be cool to have a chill spot there instead with a few places to sit/eat and lounge while there. Could even do a small little kitchen set up with some cabinets on the wall and a mini fridge for all those red bulls😜
