Building Berm Park Ep 1 (Breaking Ground & Making History)
Спорт
Finally after two years of dreaming, fundraising, and waiting, Berm Park is officially under construction! To build a public mountain bike park has been the subject of our Patreon page since 2019. We didn't know how we would do it or where it would be built, but piece by piece it came together. Now, with a combination of funding from Patrons and outside sponsors, we're building Berm Park in Canton, NC, USA within a larger park to be called "Chestnut Mountain Park".
The first trail completed was "On the Fly", by Diamondback Bicycles. Check out the line of hard tail mountain bikes the trail is named after here www.diamondback.com/mountain-...

Seth has been able to connect with millions of people who mountain bike and get many more into it because of his exceptionally well made content that's approachable and fun to watch for everyone. He's given kids new bikes and helped found a public bike park, I could careless if he won every Redbull Rampage every UCI world cup or Sea Otter he just rides his damn bike and helps his local mountain biking community in profound positive ways. That my friend is true greatness.
Can anyone admire the fact that there’s just a train of three construction workers just sending it😂

It’s heartwarming to see that the people building these trails are mountain bikers. I had this idea of a corporate company just following instructions. But these are three guys testing the trails they just crafted! So awesome.
Amazing work the team is putting together. So cool to see an entire community rally behind an idea and a leader to push it. Well done, Seth! 💪

I live in Wilmington,NC now but me and the fam make it up there 3 or 4 times a year. The park will be 2 miles from where we stay. This will be awesome. Yeeeeeew🤙
I love the fact that Seth is building something like this for people. Especially those living in North Carolina which I do! So I'll be excited to give this place a try when it opens. Good luck seth.
I love watching your videos and watching how you build your great trails, can't wait to see what comes next in Berm Park!
It's so cool to see the builders shredding their trails like pros.
It's been fun to watch this story and journey progress. Awesome to see trails built and a sneak peak into what some of it will be like. You're doing a lot for the sport of mountain biking and helping people access cool trails.
I hope everyone keeps up with this. WHAT YOU WILL SEE is a perfect example of, "If you build it, they will come," transpire for Canton. This is exactly what we've seen happen here in the Bentonville area, and it's now becoming the entire state of Arkansas, as other areas of the state saw the example and what quality trails can do for the local economy. WHO wouldn't want to go ride that??
I'm honestly most excited that this is free. The southeast is starting to get a lot of cool bike parks, but they all seem to be private operations you have to buy a pass to ride on. There are so many cool bike parks out west (not ski lift parks mind you) that are just public parks and open to everyone. We need more Duthie Hill bike parks in our life.
you know your a real OG if you still call his Chanel Seth's Bike Hacks
I'm really pumped that more and more cities and towns are seeing the economic value of building mountain bike trails.

As a former Resident Engineer on very large scale environmental remediation projects, I have a professional suggestion: On your finished trails with all of their final adjustments made, you should add a spray on fixative to lock the soil in place and provide much better resistance to trail wear and erosion. There are several commercially available products, each water based and approved by the EPA for use (but check with your state's ecology department). Here's a list of fixatives I've used in the past, in order of preference: Midwest Soil Sement, AgriGator Terra-Bond, Polo Dust Con, Duru Soil, and D&D Emulsions Dust Bond.
