All of this trail work is truly impressive especially when you see the "over head graphic" of all that you guys have accomplished in such a short time. Oh yeah, and if I had a dollar for every time I've roamed my house and workshop saying "Hey Seri", I'd have quite a large chunk of change!!

Next time use a pulley or snatch block wrapped around another tree so you can pull on the dead tree without it falling in the same direction the machine you are pulling it with. Also, Seths operator skills have quickly grown! Impressive!

I did some back of the napkin calculations on his Ranger Station property based on a snapshot of reservations and needless to say it’s paying back dividends.

Thanks you

It's incredible that we're basically watching a bike park get built in real time, and the money from watching just furthers it more .. it's the mtb circle of life.

Might be a good idea to wear Hi-vis vest while working around the machine. It's also always a smart move to make eye contact with an operator when around a working machine. Eye contact secures you see them and they see you. Love the content.

A few years ago I subscribed and signed up for some biking tips. Today, I get to sit and enjoy, child proofing a home, R/C car shenanigans and bike trail construction whilst avoiding getting flattened by dead trees......god I love your channel!

When you and Kevin are working together a couple of radios are a big safety booster. They save your voice too, not having to yell over the machine.

So sick brother! My son and I watch you’re channels like a series on Netflix. Everyday I come Home from work and he’s already got KZread pulled up ready to go. He was so excited for today to tee this video! Outstanding work. We were also browsing the ranger station on Airbnb for a sick weekend trip but as expected that place is booked up solid! Can’t wait for the snow to melt over here in New York so we can get back on two wheels, these videos get us amped up!

Seth in a world with so much fear and uncertainty, your videos provide 10 minutes of escape and excitement. Truly appreciated.

Other KZreadrs would have called this video "I almost buried my phone alive!". I'm glad you're sticking to being informative rather than click airing viewers.

Thanks Seth to getting me into mountain bike again! Since September last year I've finally got my fully and now that the weather is getting better again I cannot wait to ride again!

Does anybody else watch videos like this and get an overwhelming urge to drop everything and build incredible MTB trails the rest of your life? This is so interesting and compelling to me. I've designed and built minor trails and jumps - it is a fun discipline and requires such creativity! Walking and surveying the land beforehand, selecting natural features to emphasize, using your surroundings to make fun and unique MTB jumps/drops/skinnies/etc. Thank you, Seth, for the inspirational and entertaining content. It sure helps to keep the MTB excitement up over the winter for this Virginia native.

Having worked in both land grading construction and as a high end carpenter, it's been amazing to watch you build your arsenal of tools and equipment into one that even I'm jealous of, and see you learn new techniques. The time lapse of that cannon jump construction really shows it: correct plan and execution, and you have all of the right tools for the job. Props.

Smiling during this whole video. Been here for awhile now and this series gets better and better.

I had a Motorola flip phone (yep, this was a while ago) that I lost while shoveling snow. Three months later and, with spring, came warm temps and the inevitable thaw. My neighbour came over one day, with a familiar looking object in his hands! I laughed, I mean, what were the chances that I would ever see my phone again? For shits and giggles, I plugged it in and came back several hours later. The phone powered up and operated like the day I lost it - incredible!

Out of all the mtb youtubers, you and Jordan just hit differently so congrats to making it to the top :)

I haven't had the time to watch any progress with Berm peak for a year so coming back in and watching from 'episode 1' onwards I'm amazed at how much progress has been made. Not just with the trails themselves but also the skills both Seth and Kevin have developed as trailbuilders. Seeing you come from Florida to now is such an epic journey and it's incredible to see how selfless and thoughtful you are still. Don't ever change, thanks for making us all want to ride every day 🤘🏻

Berm peak looks sick! So satisfying seeing berm peak grow and improve. I’m a trail builder from New Zealand and I figured I’d be that guy. For pulling that tree down the ideal solution is to use a pulley block attached to a nearby tree so the you can pull from the opposite direction the tree will fall. I’m frothing seeing these videos help the audience gain knowledge and learn what goes into making a trail. Cheers!

I love that you threw in the music track at 9mins, that you always used to use when building stuff. You'll hit 2.5m soon and you deserve every one of us. Just positive vibes.

I could watch these trail building videos all day. Flip bike is fine as filler, but videos like these are why i’m a subscriber

I remember when I first discovered this channel, it was what sparked my interest in mountain biking. That was about 3-4 years ago I want to say. Though I still haven't gone on a proper mountain bike trail, I still learned a lot about bikes and love to ride them around my small town to this day. (Going to go mountain biking this summer with a few buddies of mine, and am super stoked about it). I love this channel for the bikes, but also because I love to see Seth doing what he loves for a living, which is a huge inspiration to me to do the same.

Everyone needs a friend like Kevin

Ahh finally another feature on berm peak I missed this videos thank you Seth much love from Philippines🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️

These videos have turned from a KZread video into a whole tv series, the videos are getting better and better Seth!

Be careful out there guys - we'd like to see you in future still building trails, bikes and being entertaining with all your limbs and bits in tact!

Anyone else think how great a demolition ranch and seths bike hacks collab would be?

The video he described at the end is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait

I think my favorite part of every video is the staring at it. I do it every time I build something lol, love it man keep it coming please.

Watching the creation of Berm Peak is like watching a show on HGTV and I love it

Love the map at the end with stars for features. I found myself checking off videos in my head of when each was made. : )

Well it's a good thing we in western North Carolina are getting warm(ish) dry weather all week this week!

Here in 2023 waiting on a full trail walk through 😅

Love to see we’re getting back into some more bike based vids ❤️

Is this the end of trailbuilding on berm peak? If it is, it’s the end of an era. You went from shoveling in your backyard to building a bike park with your own excavator. You have grown so much :)

i just bought my first mountain bike 2 days ago and because of your channel i can totally shred!

I have an Idea how you can test a feature when the trail is wet (kinda). So here it goes; you have lots of rc cars and some of them must have enough speed and capability to ride the trails you build, even jumps! If it doesn’t work it will at least be very entertaining to watch. 👍

Hey Seth, a good tip when connecting Hydraulic Couplers is to shut the machine off, then key on (don’t start) and cycle the function (press the button that controls that hose) this will release the pressure and allow you connect the coupler. Great vids

Sweet looking trail build! I can't wait to see the test ride. Great work!

When trails DO dry out & we get a full tour of BP, do a split screen w/ the map at the end of this video on one side & a little rider icon that moves w/ your video footage of you riding on the other screen, would be cool to see visually where everything is in real-time! Rad work 🤙🏼

I've been really enjoying watching other KZreadrs with their backyard builds and it's obvious you're an inspiration. Once again you're showing why you're still the king of backyard builds.

Can't really explain why, but somehow the kinda relaxed tone of this video reminded me of the old Florida videos, and it made me really happy

Yay a build video! I had a bit of a rough day yesterday and this cheered me up! Thanks Seth

Thankfully no one was hurt and remember that experience because you will be put in a similar if not the same scenario again sooner than you would like! 😂

Been riding for two years now thanks to Seth! Developed new confidence and fitness and I love it

Kevin and Seth is the perfect duo

Great work! Love the ‘nana cannon. You’re wise to let the trail sit and harden off. I also like how every trail speaks of it’s surroundings and soil type. My local trail has clay base with loose rock. As the clay weathers, the rocks become more apparent, so choosing your line becomes challenging. That’s the fun of visiting other trails and the joy of hard earned local knowledge. Enjoy!

Love having trail building videos back! 2 video suggestions collab with Perkins builder brothers . A section of DJ jumps because you have that clay dirt.
