Turning a dead oak tree into a mountain bike jump with a cheap mill

- Muahaha! If you're one of those people who insist I buy the optimal tool for every job, you're really gonna hate this one. Today we use a $100 chainsaw and a $30 beam cutter attachment to mill oak into planks. And it works! Then we build a nice little kicker as a proof of concept. Enjoy!

I've been watching you since I was 7 and always wanted a mountain bike. Yesterday, my dad surprised me for my 13th birthday and got me a mountain bike. I've been riding it around my city and having the time of my life. Thanks for being a part of my life!
Cool
Cool
Cool

Cool
âToday, on This Old Trail...â
Seriously, watching things like this as a kid, plus helping my dad with projects is why working on things comes so naturally. Itâs also why I geek out on tools. Keep this up. đ
Bruh the nostalgia I just experienced reading that
So true
Sadly there is not enough flannel or beard on Seth's channel to match This Old House.
@@Harey0407 this old House or this old Tony?
M S I hope Iâm as cool as This Old Tony when I grow up.
Letâs just appreciate how much Seth has progressed with his skill đđŒ and his house looks so beautiful in the snow to wow
I was 169 like lol
Ya
woodworking skills? cuz he was shredin since his trek 4900 days
Too not to and I was the 250th like
@@egcloutishbug10xboxgamer79 I was the 351 lmao i commit unsatisfying
Watch: one mountain bikey boi move log for 3 minutes
Me: Yes
Had me hooked
420 likeâs lol
Seth: *takes whole day struggling on log*
THE NEXT DAY
His friends: so whereâs the jump?
Seth: donât even get me started..
lol
Your videos are creepy
Lol
I wonder how much physically stronger Seth has become since starting this project?
Who needs a gym membership with all that?
I would say 18.6% stronger. More if it were a gas chain saw.
He also became a Wizard... **hedwig theme plays**
also think he will live very long and healty. he rides his bike everyday
8:10 this is the best bunny hop I've seen from Seth. Mighty impressive, dude!
On his earlier videos he jumps up onto tables and stuff higher than this I believe.
8.06
The man can ride a bike
Seth: Contrary to popular belief, this is how to ride a ramp.
8:08 that's so impressive
I can barely clear 3 inches on a cross country bike which weighs half as much as his full suspension bike. Sure, I'm a "little bit" bigger than Seth (6'2") but this is mad hard. That's at least a foot, which is insane. I had to watch it like 10 times over in slow motion just to make sure lol
* 8:10
his bike probably ways like 30 or 40 pounds
*8:09 lol
I read the title as âTurning a dead oak tree into a mountain bikeâ and I didnt see the rest. I was so confused
Kylo Ren I had the same confusion on the building a wooden bike jump video
Now I want to watch Seth make a mountain bike out of a dead oak tree. lol
I'm sure he will
Same
Lol, i saw a video of a guy making a wooden bike, it worked but wasnt great and took a lot of effort and a huge cnc machine
His wife is like "why a ramp, I wanted a table!!!"
Seth: Mrs. Bike Hacks wants a table. Today, we're building a tabletop on Berm Peak
@@classydays43 haha Lmao
@@classydays43 LOL
Oh believe me, with Seth's "new" alaskan mill, he can make dozens of tabletops for Mrs. Bike Hacks.
@@classydays43 sry had to keep it at 69 likes
The trails I ride: Oh cool, a feature!
Berm Peek: Oh cool, 5 feet of trail without a feature!
"I saw this cheap mill on Wranglerstar..."
So begins Seth's Homestead Hacks channel
I laughed out loud to this
Next time try throwing some of those smaller logs under the big one as "wheels" and just roll it on out, moving the small logs from back to front as you go. Egyptian pyramid block style.
Came to the comments to say the exact same thing. đ
I'm truly surprised that Seth didn't think of it.
Strap that hand truck to the log lengthwise and roll it over so wheels are down. You don't have to hold the handle of the truck that way. Just make sure your tires are solid or aired up.
In Seth's next video:
Making Stonehenge over my driveway out of dead trees and youtube comments
The pyramids were built by Aliens, duh! đđ€Ł
You couldâve just got a giant crane and lifted it out with absolutely no environmental footprint
8:30 I was waiting for the run away dolly to knock over the camera haha.
Most solid kicker ever. Nice milling work. Though watching you struggle with moving the log, you are fired from my pyramid building team! Rollers Seth , rollers!
pulleys.
@@micahl98 why not both?
Rollers and snatch blocks
The Egyptians did not use rollers. They slid it. They did not really know about wheels until later.
SNATCH BLOCK! *Destin intensifies*
As a skateboarder, this is my favorite channel and I dont even mountain bike.
Shredding is shredding I think that's something we can all appreciate
@@dudeman9119 agreed
"We'll have the craziest feature we've built yet" im guessing its a airbag booter workbench with a built in taco making station
Sponsored by Diamondback
Of course
And a giant wooden sculpture of Drama
Cant forget the bike storage facility
Itâs gonna be a 4km skinny that aligns your wheels while you ride it
Seth: Uploads
All Mountain Bikers: *Happy Braaap noises*
Did you get those storms. My school had a tornado
Bikes and burnouts what area do you I live in Rutherfordton county NC and near Seth and I was out of school today from tornado warning and BIG flash floods
Brinley Clement I live near Charlotte. And today we had an two hour delay
Brinley Clement yeah I live in Asheville NC and we got out
@Luic Bruni yeah everybody knows that, and everybody knows that braap can be used universally.
Sethâs wife Where did that tree I love go?
Seth: What tree?
Speech marks
Lol
Coming up next: *how I got hernia*
So true, as I watch this recovering from hernia surgery last month. He needs to be more careful lifting.
This is probably the third or fourth episode I've almost posted this comment.
for da boys so truw
How to: get a hernia
What is a hernia
Seth is watching Wranglerstar?
Man thats awsome! I've been following both for quite some years now!
Mmm. Me too wranglerstar.....
Yessss
Same, both have some great content.
Wonder if wranglerstar watches seth?
I watched wranglestar until his review of a machete. Full of prejudice, stereotype and bad taste about genocide....careful Seth!
That thing is a work of art.
My first thought after you finished it..."oh yeah he is gonna bunnyhop that thing backwards."
Sick!
I think this is my favorite thing you've built so far. I love its character.
I can only imagine what would happen if he called Phil instead of Eric.
You should build a trail map âstationâ of sorts like you had at berm creek.
Ty Tilden great idea!
I assume he will, but since Berm Peak isnât finished he canât make it yet.
@@jmoney4695 - Will it ever be finished though? He's gonna have to build a flat-screen into the station to keep it updated.
Is it me, or is Seths voice super-calming... it just chills me out every time I watch.
If he ever needed extra income to support mtb, he should narrate audiobooks.
nooranik21 Hahahaha youâre so right! And damn it Iâd buy them!
Definitely want to see more of the saw mill and making the most out of what youâve got.
Itâs not just cost effective, but everything made has a special feeling and a story behind it.
cant belive how far seth has come form using a drill to move the log to making a full something to move a log and building all this crazy things in berm peak and building is own bike park
hats off to you seth really love you bro
seth's lumber tips: thanks for milling with me today and I'll see u next time
Iâm getting the âseths gonna go whistler on usâ feeling and Iâm gettin excited
We've still got like 3-4 months until biking's open up here, but he probably will go. I saw him in the lineup last year.
He won't just use gas powered chainsaw for some reason
Seth, this is seriously some of the best content on youtube. The combo of biking and building and the outdoors... much respect. love it.
This "born and bred on Berm Peak" was an amazing video.....an amazing DIY project using all organic from the homestead materials. Well done. Looking for more like this. For the next adventure I'm picturing a homemade saw to the cut the planks with manpower.
Me: why doesn't he just bring his tools to...
Seth: you might be thinking...
Hey Seth! Just a tip, you can always add in a pully system, such as one called a "z drag" to help lighten the load and increase the load capacity that the winch can pull!!
Came to say the same thing. Block and Tackle pulleys would have been great there.
Yeah, also called a snatch block
Smarter everyday did a great video about that
cbuckdaytonoh lol i knew all about snatch blocks thanks to smarter everyday.
This is awesome, love the rugged creativity that Berm Peak has unleashed in you! To make the most out of that little winch without adding a snatchblock: Set your tree anchors higher to pull up on the log and decrease ground friction, choke the log at the very end for maximum pull, try a plastic sled or scoop shovel under the front end of the log to increase slipperyness.
You make this look so easy, I built the exact same jump as you and it took me like five days. Youâre crafty.
Sketchy
Way too heavy
Absolutely perfect
Seth uploading on Fridays gives us all something to look forward to at the end of the week!
And the end of school for the week
I don't even have a mountainbike or anything like that. Just a city bike I (which I sometimes use for off-roading), but I like the inspiring vids and the woodworking side of the channel.
I've been watching you for years! You inspire me to make a MTB trail in my backyard. And now all my parents see in the backyard is ramps. Thanks for inspiring me!
This is easily one of your coolest Berm Peak videos.
Idea for next time moving timber: use a horse. They are strong has hell and can fit pretty much anywhere, in a forest.
Svenmpa yeah good idea just find one ini
True, but then you have to deal with a horse haha.
Yes Dwight K shrute
Today on Seth's horse hacks...
I swear tying the back of a hand truck (or one lying down) to the back of it and using a second one to wheel it up wouldâve made it easier, but hey thatâs complicated and kinda difficult
First two minutes I just kept thinking âthis mustâve been what Stonehenge was likeâ
Very very cool. Nice job and love the creativity and repurposing of native lumber!
I love your life. You tube pays you to kick around your house making jumps, trails, videos. Well done friend
Seth uploads: Mountain bikers (including me) *CLICKS FASTER THAN LIGHT*
2:44 Chewbacca sound
the closing scenes with the snow and wooden features, plus the music, superb!
Seth please!!! do a full tour of berm peak, to show us the work you have done so far, amazing progress đđ»
Seth: * lands 360 *
Same music used in every video: *ITS GO TIME*
Man busting all this wood makes me exhausted
I like the smell of white oak when you saw it. Love what you do. Inspirational!
No way! I know right away when I saw that bright green miller. Love you channel as well as wranglestar
It's so Relaxing seeing someone building stuff from wood that i'm never going to build.
This was one of the coolest projects you've done, imo. Well done.
I never comment on your videos but I just had to on this one! I had a smile on my face the whole video, so awesome to see you use your own timber
âItâll make more sense later why I tried a 360 right hereâ
âOnce the weather gets better, we will build the craziest feature yetâ
âThis ramp will be used for a much bigger feature later onâ
Hints at a whale tail
And what does a 360 have to do with a whale tail
2:14 the sound đđ
That winch is capable of a lot more Seth, look up âsnatch blocksâ on Smarter Every Dayâs channel
$30 beam cutter, $100 electric chainsaw, $1000 worth of white oak. Brilliant! Nice work Seth!!!
Seth is one of those people who makes videos that not much people actually want to learn, but people just want to watch the video for entertainment. Love it!
Nice! I want to do the same in my backyard at some point
"I always thought lumber came from the store" ohhh I feel this so much! :D
A hand powered "grip hoist" is the best way to drag trees
Me as a kid, being a mountain biker, and someone who builds trails with his friends, love these kind of videos. Keep up the good work.
Hey Seth, juts wanted to say I love these building videos keep them upđ
1000th
Could've fashioned something underneath for the timber to slide on like small branches, right?
Or just a snatch block... easy 1000lbs in one move
Congrats Seth on 1.69 mill thatâs my goal to now have some fun!
I remember when Seth only had a couple under powered tools and no knowledge.
Watching with my berm peak hoodie!!
I wanted to say thank you Seth you helped me along my mtb beginning journey and now it is my passion thanks
I love wrangler star! So cool to one of my favorite CZcamsâs talk about my other favorite CZcamsr being on the other side of the country! He lives in the county next to mine!!
That chainsaw mill is so cool!
There's just something about your videos that are not only entertaining, but super relaxing. You inspire to make more ramps, keep shredding it Seth!!!
I would give you an "A" for effort and fortitude! Getem Tiger!!!!!
Me: oh wow Seth has a way to mill lumber and can use good natural wood for cool new projects like skinny bridges or berms!
Seth: *R A M P*
Looks a really nice kicker, well done đ
You know that quite a few people are in to saw milling and mountain biking. I subscribe to a log milling channels as well as Mountain biking channels. I am fascinated by technical and productive activities such as automotive repair, tools and wood working just to name a few. That is why I am drawn to you channel. It has it all for us creative types. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watching the channel.
06:54 such a show-off! :p
Love the voice over on Eric Porter âyeahâ heheh. Love the videos Seth keep up the good work
My god that kicker is a thing of beauty! Slap some dollar store cushions on there and you have a sick lounge chair! Awesome work Seth!
I love this! Your carpentry skills have come so far. This ticks all the boxes for me, using available resource and it looks great!
âThis thing is pretty limitedâ

That chainsaw mill is too cool! The kicker looks awesome made out of that wood.
id love to go skiing on those trails
Sick! Iâll be building some new ramps to ride on my channel soon so this may be just what I need! (Minus the mill work)
I was laying down and Seths bikes hacks came down from the top of my screen. Iâve never clicked so fast!
*I NEED F>U>C>E>D>*
Iâm really happy with the commitment you make to this channel. Please keep up the consistent and plentiful videos!!
Berm peak with snow is beautiful!đđ
Finally figured out @SteadySpin plays the harmonica intro.
Thatâs a 50ft drop
Seth: it donât look bad at all
I love these Berm Peak build videos. Seth is living the life! And I can't think of a better person to deserve this life! Congrats Seth!
Wranglsterstar and SBH are like my two favorite channels lol, it's nice to hear a reference to one of his showcases
"I always thought lumber came from the store" HAHA
Every time i feel like getting on my crapy walmart bike and going down this steep hill that is full with trees and it has a trail. Last time i did that i fell like 15 feet down hill but got lucky.
To have a ramp built out of materials from berm peak is a very nice addition. Good job man.
Wow. Amazing video. True craftsmanship my friend.
"the kicker is already in there you just gotta find it"
That's very Yoda-ish
Another reason to like Fridayâs
That kicker is pure art. đ
From a tiny little patio in Fort Lauderdale to falling, milling your own lumber for the umpteenth Berm Peak kicker. Bravo.
