Hey guys! I hope everyone is safe and staying indoors as best they can, wherever you are in the world. I've decided to kick things off in my backyard and get the MTB trails going. So here's an awesome start to the biggest build and ride project that I've undergone yet. This will be incredible for mountain bikes, mini bikes, pit bikes and bmx's. So I'm super lucky that I can progress this project from home with lots of digging, time lapses and riding. Stay safe and see you soon with more trail building! Legends.

build a jump that has the landing under ground level (sort of like a dirt bowl) then you jump out the other side

Soo stoked for this series! 🤘 Spending my days digging some jump lines to contain my sanity during the day... And watching trail building videos at night 👌
Can’t wait to see what this field looks like at the end, you should get a dirt compactor rent/buy would make it a million times easier for all those jumps
Back when my life revolved around riding BMX I spent summers on summers building up the trails in my back yard. Grass/shrubs/moss are a game changer in terms of maintenance. When you plan your next feature, if you cut the grass into cubes and dig out the grass in the general area of your feature before laying down new dirt you can put the grass aside and when the feature is finished you can place the grass down on the sides and backs of your feature. This allows for keeping good moisture and it helps for the stability of the dirt. You've got a killer space and I'm pumped to see the progress!
New intro sickkkkkk 😀😀

Finally. I have been waiting for you to start this. Just build what you want and be creative, just please please keep it going I need this in my life ATM.
Looks cool dude carnt wait to see what you do along the way. :) you should make a jump over a burn then as you land you go straight into the berm you just jumped over (your jumping over your future self)

You spelt berm wrong
I find that packing with a shovel is best when you dust some dry soil over the wet stuff to keep it from sticking when packing. You can also keep a can of canola oil handy, or tie a burlap sack around the head of the shovel.
@johnhanley9059
4 жыл бұрын
Grayson Adams if the dirt is sticking to your shovel when packing the jump, that means the top layer of dirt is wet but the lower layers are not. Water your jumps more and let the water soak in for a while before packing it in

I'm so stoked for this. I'm building my own track and this will be fun to get ideas and see what happens with all that BLANK CANVAS!
And maybe later in the track you can build a similar feature to the one that was at crankworx. A jump into 270 berm where you go under where you jumped over

Its a 3 meters long jump into a angled landing that leads directly into a 90 degree berm. So you probably jump into the berm. At the end of the berm there's a small sharkfin. The best of this feature is, thatbyou can generate a lot of speed when you pump the jumps and the berm
Well excited for this series!

awsome video keep up the good work Matt
Really good video! Can’t wait for the rest of the series. I think that after the first take off you should put a reverse shark fin into a berm round the small corner just after the take off like there was in dark fest. Loving the new intro by the way!
