Building & Riding a FAST wooden berm
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2020
- Well, here's to learning to do something new! This wooden mountain bike berm is the first ever on Berm Peak, and it was full of learning experiences. Next time it'll look a little neater and go together smoother, but overall I think we built something very functional. So far this is one of my favorite home improvement projects. I can't stop going back there and roasting this thing!

To everybody with even the slightest OCD: Like this comment, if you would love to see a map at the end of every video, including changes in trails, new features ETC. It would really give us all a great perspective on the trail system and its progression. Peace
Vilém Vítek was just thinking that around the 7:00 mark, “ooh I hope we get a map at the end” lol
Was thinking the same thing!
Yeah, that would be great.
OCD is a mentall disorder, NOT wanting things to look good!
I’m into it!
Seth at the start of berm peak:
"I speak for the trees"
Seth now:
"A worthy sacrifice for the cause"

Seth in the future:
"I need wood... Hmm..."
Me: When would I every use math in real life?
My Math Teacher: If you want to build a mountain bike park in your backyard.
I would just guess on it and then redo it 15 times of I'm being honest
keb Komics
hits differently when you compare it to building a lego technic set with only every other page of the instruction manual
Clinton Cox your not funny just kidding
When would you every.... Bro use english in your life please
Failed math 5 years😭
Seth: * designs and builds a big ass berm.*
Also seth* used 2 by 4 as a hammer*
He also designed the hammer!!
And he had a mallet right next to him 😂😂😂
If it works why change it
he said that he split stakes using a sledgehammer so he uses a maul.
Just found out this week that I have about an acre of woods on my land that I didn't know was in my property lines. I've been watching this series with great interest, slowly accumulating dangerous ideas with which to potentially injure myself. Wish me luck!
Edit: Just hit my first successful jump and berm ride today!
Absolute dream. I hope you use it to its fullest potential
@@seanmcadams1216 Absolutely! I may even make a video or two about it when it's a little further along.
Lol good luck m8!
Good Luck
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Cameraman: How may angles do you want of you riding the berm
Seth: Yes
No
Yes
No

Seth: "The problem is, I've never built a wooden berm"
Me: Saying out loud, "Like that has ever stopped you" (my wife looking at me like I have lost my mind).
Of course, it turns out great, Seth is the man 👊
She is probably on her period and thought you were talking to yourself with that great line.
Has anyone else noticed that when he builds something new he always hits it harder than the last one to check its solid.
By the end of.march he's gonna just be dropkicking jumps
I love your videos Seth they encouraged me to start mountain biking. Thankyou so much.
I really need to get back into that but I only like jump tracks and there isn't that much in new zealand that i know of
same
Same! I even bought a DiamondBack because that’s what he uses!
Jesse Rio I wish I had the funds to buy a new bike. I borrow my step dads early 2000’s bike when I go out and being 15 I’m unable to work to get the money I need to get a new bike.
It's not the bike. It's what you do with it
Lol! Had to throw in the crash, huh?! 😂🤣😂 Awesome time, bro! Can’t wait to come back! Take care!👊🏻
Full commit! That crash was too brutal to leave out. Next time we’ll have more features before and after it. Get your pads ready!
My eyes got REAL big when you wiped out. :O glad you popped right up from that one.
I reacted with a big "oh fuck". Remeber what mountain biking nan used to say "The crasheth maketh the man"
lmao and didnt even put in any successful jump clips. so brutal
Look at Dave getn Squirrely 😂 glad your ok bro🙏🙏
First time I've seen someone using a vacuum cleaner out on a trail. Keep up the good work.
Sean Overend same lol , I was like your in nature
He's got to clean up his dirt mess lol

In the south east like nc and down to Florida winters get cold like down to 20 degrees most but it’s still super humid so you can’t wear a ton of clothes
Don’t really need a jacket unless you’re pretty north
@@jaynelson9543 i was like bruh goes down to 20 degrees how hot is it there our winters here go down to - 20 degrees but then i realised you are talking about fahrenheit
“Our berm is complete, and it’s solid!” Karate kicks 🦵 😂
Your going to have a whole bike park I a year. Next video “ building a chairlift in my backyard”
Followed by "getting beat up by my wife"

Ironically, he actually has the next best thing: a shuttle road
It’s been A year😂
who’s here after berm park was announced
2:05 - I am already looking forward to next week's "Giant Glue Gun Build"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One thing I love about watching your channel is how much effort you put into everything. Even that model is probably better than what 99% of people could make out of real planks.
video idea: frame test. take a cheap bike and a good bike and swap everything but the frames to see how much a good frame really matters
This is a really good idea
Are you swapping everything but the frames, or are you just swapping the frames? Really makes you think.
@@liambohl r/shower thoughts
He did a bike check video at the old place and showed Alex's Walmart bike (from the Walmart bike challenge video). He said he put a bunch of better parts on it that he had laying around and the bike still sucked.
@@jp7621 yeah but maybe he is referencing non carbon vs carbon and seth didnt upgrade every single part in that vid.
I will sell every organ in my body when he makes something non-sketch.
you will be waiting for a long time.
Starting with the brain
Sketch is life brooo
You’ll be rich after that
Lmk Lmxx and dead
After watching these videos my kids have asked me if I could build something like this this in our 1/3 of an acre backyard. We now have a 8ft x 8ft platform 6ft off the ground in our backyard! Next step is to add the ramps off both sides and a berm for one of them. Thanks for planting the idea in our heads! Now my kids are much more willing to play in the backyard. Keep up the great work!
I'm a custom home builder in NC and I have to say that your knowledge and use of engineered fasteners impresses me. They couldn't be more useful than in applications like this. Well done sir!
Also, add to the front edge of the berm
Somebody is going to catch it and go flying. Nasty.
Went with dewalt I see, excellent choice my dad has had his for many years and never smoked like the ryobie you were having issues with

Be sure to vote the Socialist Democrats out of office or we will probably lose this next....
So sick of Pseudo intellectual, Climate hoax, Socialist/Communist, ignorant Democrats ruining Life..Heck, California is now a CRAPHOLE after Obama era Democrats ran amock for the Chinese PLA.....
I walked away from the T.D.S. CULT and Life is so much mellower...
I genuinely love the serious thought you put into your projects. From the small model to the fact that you dug in the planks so that there won't be an edge when the ground changes a little. That's some serious forethought and best practices that makes your projects really satisfying.
I like how I'm a part of this great community that's watching you develop Berm Peak and all of its features. Seeing the different stages being built really makes it feel like we're there with you and I like that part of your channel, it feels like we're riders on Berm Peak or at least spectators.
Today, I Was Wondering Why It's Called 'Berm Peak' Without A Berm, & You Just Made It.
Coincidence! 🤔🤔🤨
I'm waiting for whooshes over here...
The last trail was “Berm Creek,” so he just made the names rhyme.
9:17 he took that like a beast
You can tell Seth loves riding his own trail. Watching him have fun makes me smile :)
I always forget how good of a rider Seth really is until I watch him ride. dope vid!
@ yep
Just my luck! Got breakfast all ready, and boom, you uploaded! Thanks for making my morning!
he uploads at 9 am eastern time
Same here
Keep up the great uploads, cant wait till the whole property is full of trails!
I know absolutely nothing about mountain biking but I loving watching berm peak, kudos!
I started work on bike on a bike trail in my woods last fall after being inspired by your videos. I can’t wait until the snow is gone and I can finish it enough to start riding.
Keep it up!!! You inspire me so so so much and always put a smile on my face when i see your noto pop up!! U inspire me to get on my bike a create content on my channel for others to enjoy!! Thank you so so much
Great channel never seen you before 🤣
The two seths making the same video in two days. Love it lol.
Thanks for taking us all on this journey bro!
Thanks so much. I love these “build and ride” videos. I’m not a big fan of mountain biking, but I love watching your videos. I especially enjoy the Berm Peak express channel - it feels more relaxed and informal and we get to see more of your personality rather than just mountain bike related videos (not to say that I don’t like watching you build features and jumps).
Thanks again and I will definitely be tuning in to future uploads.
Im travelling from the top of Ireland back to my home at the very bottom, so this will at least make my 5 hour journey much better🤘
You gonna watch this like 30 times?
Swing by my house in Dublin I've a Nukeproof Mega!!
Stop by Galway maybe? 🤣
Aye dude have you been to big wood up here in the north its just beside Newry island is pretty gnarly
@Josh Lafoe I'm in Connecticut and with a 8 hour drive from where I am there are like 20 states and Canada lmao.
9:13 someone send this clip to GMBN!
They watch all his vids 😎🤘
I forgot how much I enjoy these videos. Thanks for putting them out!
Finally a good video about a wood berm. Thanks for producing it.
Braided fishing line makes a good string replacement when drawing the radius. It doesn't stretch, is thin and you can get it really strong.

Who is Jewish?
@@kieran1780 I think he’s referring to Seth
My favourite part of the week, nothing better than coming home from college or work to see a Seth’s Bike Hacks video!
Come for the construction.
Enjoy the DIY.
Stay for the music.
Another great update.
You shoul add some dirt at the beginning of the been so it's more flowy
exactly my thought, i kinda don't understand why he didn't do that in the first place, it takes 5 minutes... we are not there, but from the camera angles it looks like it would definitely be easier and carrying even more speed.
@@mtb_ianek and safer
@@pedasjma23 safer? I don't think Seth knows that word.
Yep. It'll get added eventually I bet, just hope it is before someone catches their front wheel on the right hand (wrong) side of the entrance to the wood berm. Instant otb/face plant/ouchie.
A little bit of a transition in means you would be able to carry so much more speed into and out of it too.
8:46 Seth's victory theme
I think it is every mountain bikers dream to have there own bike courses
Seth you are living the dream
Congratulations on getting on the trending page!
Keep up the good work man👍
I always look forward to seeing your new videos that you post.
I’m so early! I’ve been binge watching all morning and I just had my lunch so perfect timing!
This is my biggest dream ever, you inspired me to start my own trail and I am almost done. Just want to say you are a huge inspiration in everyone’s life.
LOL I love it. One look at my Avitar shows how much I love wooden berms. I've made dozens. The one in the photo (that is me on it) was built from scrapped painted treated 2x6. some of my best were made from chainsawed red cedar planks. The thing I love when transferring speed thru a berm is how you can get height and regain speed. When designing the berm you have to determine your apex and drop if you want to maintain speed around the berm. You need to understand your apex and at what point you drop from that height. Entrance speed transfers to height, and that height determines how far around the berm you can travel stuck to the wall. (assuming a constant angle) Taking too much height produces pre-mature drop off. The entrance then becomes crucial. Remember the entrance and exit must a progressing curve to and from apex. I really love a berm that puts you at height and maintains speed and height thru it. But the one in the photo was a right to apex and drop type.
Two things I see as issues for your berm. First; your entrance forces you to enter too low. If you extended the planking at the entrance or build up a dirt transition you would swing in wider and let you take your height earlier. Second; by reducing your exit angle before speed or height reduces you are being thrown to the outside of your exit line forcing speed moderation instead of a natural height drop from apex. That was the issue with the rhododendron. Fixing the first issue may fix the second. If you are going to huck off the wall you do not need that angle reduction. It is all about how you need to approach your next feature.
If you look at the photo closely you notice I am just coming to apex. The entrance was from a a mound pump/kicker into a ravine drop in and the entrance onto the wooden wall is nearly straight up taking all of the height as quickly as possible. At apex you are right at huck point (or brake check to roll) to drop onto the lander and immediately into a table top. Man, I loved that line. With the 7'+ of height having the speed to clear the table top was cake. Riders that did not understand or were leery of walls would roll at the bottom of the berm and have to roll the table top. It's all good. When you had it dialed that was the central feature of a 1/4 mile flow including rock gardens and transfers ending with a 25' skinny bridge over a creek putting you at the bottom the "ski launch" to 22' creek gap up.
May I just say u posting is the highlight of my day today, so for that thank you
Let’s go Seth I’ve been waiting all week
"aint nothing to it, but to do it" -Rodney Coleman. A quote to live by when fear gets in the way of just sending it. Love the content for Berm Creek, keep up the great work Seth.
This Berm peak will be Five Star MTB trail in no time. keep it up Seth!
8:05 am I the only one who sees a smiley face with the two logs as the eyes and the berm as the smile
You should come up to Ray's MtB in cleveland to get inspiration for more wooden features. Ones that are not prone to freeze thaw.
There is nothing better than getting off school and watching an amazing Seth’s Bike Hacks video.
I love your vids Seth! You inspire me and my friends to go out biking every week and jump, ride and explore our area and even build our own trail in our neighborhood! Keep going, you inspire us all!
nobody:
wood seller: seth how much wood do you need?
seth: YES
6:08 "the planks did not go on as easy as they wood..." ;-p
I really like the addition of the trail ride through at the end!!
Berm Peak is the best thing to happen to CZcams in a long time!
I wish I could make bike trails in my backyard
Lmao he did his friend so dirtyyyy “if you can make it that far” 😂
You should do one big POV video of you and your friends just riding berm peak all day
Seths new found woodworking skills never seize to amaze me
If everyone was like him, engineers be like "i'm i a joke to you ?"
4:22
It kinda looks like he is just beating the sh*t out of a spider he just saw.
It could be cool if you build popsicle feature for every real wooden feature, you can have the popsicle features to show of to friends and build a mini berm peak in 1 to 1000 or something like that:) and thank you for all this great content;)
I don't have anything with mountainbiking, but i still enjoy your vudeos so much. They just so chil and really nice to watch
Yo seth I just fineshed my midyarly exams and came home to relax to one of your videos, thanks
Seth : I Seth am building a wooden berm.
Us : OK now listen up we need twenty wooden berms, I mean it's called berm peak for a reason.
After all, it's called BERM peak for a reason!
@@rzhunTer exactly
You know, seth is just whipping out content like nobody's business. Definitely one of the most devoted youtubers I've ever seen. Go seth!
YES!!! Killer, Seth, that is rockin! I was surprised the lower wall height worked as well as it did there (I would've gone higher/steeper, just not knowing better & I dig wall rides). Another one just like it (opposite curve) you'll be flying through that whole section. Super cool, dude! Keep up the great work!
Question of the Day?: How the hell does this man Sound so Young? Mountain air?..... Most, people his age have some aged tonality in their voice!
Cool vid I didn’t know what to write too early
Morning coffee, and Seth's DIY videos. Great combo!
Hey Seth my name is emery and I live in North Carolina and I race in the nica North Carolina races with my team. I’ve been watching you before you even got your first diamondback full suspension bike in Florida. I remember watching you with that trek hardtail and at the time I had a trek hardtail also and I just remembered thinking wow this dude is crazy on a bike. Who would have known that you came this far with biking. I love the sport and I love the videos, I look forward to watching them every week.
You should build a berm on the turn after the new wooden berm
Edit: didn’t see him say this around 8:50
ASWB i Mountain bike as well I’ve got a 27 inch specialized pitch sport and it’s amazing I also have a calibre bossnut full sus
I have a life insurance 😔👌😔
Anthonyy_vivid haha
ASWB Ik
Prediction: someone will brake their collar bone on that thing
You've come a long way since Florida. Bravo dude.
Seth, you are an innovator. Thanks for two great channels.
1st
Oh cmon!!! Where are the 20 min episodes? Cant wait for more!!
You should some how use the live bush you cut! Like a cool gap or something! Stoked!!
Buy your trail tools at yard sales / estate sales - you can usually find axes, rakes, shovels for two bucks (if not, OFFER 2 bucks) - and you can always find sledge hammers - which you look like you'll get a lot of use out of moving forward. Great video and nice progress!
Why are these the most entertaining videos on CZcams?
You know what I love?
Lunch break for me on Friday is always started with a new Seth video, every time, never fails
i love this channel so much its addictive
Great berm build! Thanks for the reality shots too!
1:38, amazing idea I'm totally prototyping every wood ramp or berm I ever build out of these.
Wow, your garden as I would say is really coming together. It looks amazing all of the trails you have. Keep up the great work seth🙂
Nice work with the table saw
Nice berm! Great shots of you flying into the berm too!
I find your outro funny because I don't ride any bikes at all, yet I watch this channel all the time xD
Seth keep doing those first person videos at the end just like now. I really enjoyed it.
Keep up the great work Seth, I love how Berm Peak is coming together. Your channel along with GMBN are the only two I find myself looking forward to watching lately!!
Dude, you're so awesome! I could watch your videos 24/7 and still not get bored! Keep up the good work!
