You know Seth, I think you have outgrown the name "backyard" trail builds. Can't wait to get to Howler and check out all your work.

The music. The craftsmanship. The drone shot!! The MUSTACHE. 19,000/10 video.

And dude is like "...and I pay for good music." That's how you know he's in it to do it right above all else!

The drone control was amazing during the riding.

Benton Drones FTW!

I wish I had paid more attention to the details of the feature when we were there! I appreciate your time and effort. beautiful as always!

Here people have the tendency to try and skip the squirrel catcher telling themselves "I bet the trail will be easier than that first feature so I'll be fine"...We still have a lot of work to do to raise awareness

If you fill the first 50 feet with very high perched skinnies you'll get the job done . I've always dreamed of doing just that in my backyard but wife doesn't want to be sued 💀😂

I agree, unfortunately, many trail systems do make the qualifier much harder than anything else on the trail so people have come to expect that everything else will be easier. If builders would consistently set the qualifier at about the same level as the other features then perhaps people will trust it?

the first feature if its a proper squirrel catcher usually is the hardest that's why most will skip it if they do know they can't do it

Sick drop, but actually looks pretty tame compared to a lot of the other features. When you can preview trails with rad videos like this, there really is no reason to not know what you are getting into. A trail progression matrix goes a long way in informing riders who haven't done their research. Would be great to see more trail networks put those out not just bike parks.

@@elguamo2003 I keep hearing this online, but I've yet to encounter it in real life. I've been to trails in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, and New Mexico, and the squirrel catchers have never been the hardest feature on the trail. Maybe it's a regional thing, where do these crazy-hard squirrel catchers happen?

I'm in my 40s, it's awesome to see how MTB has progressed from riding rigid department store bikes down fire roads to 8 year olds riding trails like this!

Having been to Howler myself, and seen everything it has to offer, it is such a sick riding destination. Max the owner, and everyone there at the park has such an incredible vibe, and even personally helped me out in tough times. Huge thanks to them, and it's cool to see this drop being built.

So damned good! Always love watching your vids!

Dude your videos are so sick. The quality is insane. I was watching your stuff when you were basically screwing 2x4s right on the ground in your backyard, and now you're putting this out. Congrats!

He's come a long way! Amazing to see his progression.

I specifically love the music choices in each and every one of your videos. Can't wait to see the next one!

Seth you hit out of the park again. Awesome Trail Awesome Video. So much fun. Thanks for lerting us be part of it. Bentonville drones killed it !!!

Yeiwwwww can't wait for this! Would love to see these features in real life.

That dubstep at the end with the ridedown video! Dude epic!

Adrenaline bike shop is a pillar within the community and those young riders are a testament to dedicated involvement. I'm glad this video highlighted them ripping amazing, new trails!

So sick. Loved this vid and this build from beginning to end.

Kids are unbelievable, but the drone work! Wow! Last minutes are masterpiece. Congratulations.

Great work on the build and the editing for the run through with the kids/teens was amazing! Truly exhilarating

King Giz at the beginning! Love it

I really appreciate the extra effort you put in to make the videos special, like the music, always exited to see a new upload!

I love the music choice, the level of craftmanship and how the video is presented to us ;) Masterpiece!

Very cool build. Loved the drone work on the video.

Proper impressive work Seth. Drone shots were baller. Kids have no fear!

Awesome video! This trail looks sick and those little dudes can shred!

Great build. Love the craftsmanship. All the riders and the Drone work are superb!!!!!

It's been a while since I've watched on of your videos and have to say, your video quality is WAY better than I remember it being. This stuff is really good looking, and I'm glad you're able to share what you do! Those kids can shred, and from the drone shots, your drone operator looked like he was almost having as much fun as they were!

@bentondrones killing it with fpv shot🔥

WOW! Cutlaps sent me and I'm stoked he did, that was a f****** SICK VIDEO!!!!!

#slowclap killer feature, sick music, great FPV pilot...and the kids shredding!

Riding this trail at 8yrs old is crazy

Insane build and I wonder what these kids will be riding in 10-20 years from now! INSANE

yoooo! insane drone footy, awesome music, incredible build. Solid content!

Duuuude, that train turned out so damn awesome!

Great trail build my man. Love watching you create some sick trails. Keep on building them! :)

Your wood working skill is next level 🤘

Seeing an 8 yo with a party hat on his helmet boosting these gaps is just something else!

Awesome video! Loved hearing Matt and Kim!

why is the soundtrack for this video such heat 🔥

Wow wow wow! This vid is very impressive. Best one I've seen on you tube, so far. From the drone pilot to the 8yr old are all pros! Great job! to everyone of you. Simply awesome!

I immediately recognized the intro song, love king gizzard and the lizard wizard! One of my fav music creators + one of my fav KZreadrs !!!

Trio Behind Bars. The Florida Kids making the state proud :')

Gotta tell you man, I love the videos and LOVE the inclusion of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats music in the past few! Keep up the great work!

Dude that thing is sick! Glad to see to see your still building trails man.

Drone shots were great, are you doing them? Ah just saw it was BentonDrones at the end. Great shots.

No idea why KZread isn't putting this in my subscriptions feed, that's great

That drone footage is on another level. Props to the kids crushing it on that trail. Great video!

5:43 "because we're going to lay big fat logs across the whole length of the structure". Ha Ha, ah the inner child in me!

The only thing more impressive than those kids riding was the drone work to capture the video. Amazing.

So cool to see rock work on that scale. My favorite part of trail work is fitting all the big rocks together, but I’ve always been limited by what 6 guys can carry with a net.

I kind of miss the days when I used to build rock walls by hand with small boulders. If you get pillars like this right, there's a decent chance that they will always be there. The ground will move a bit, but rock work like that when done properly lasts a very long time.

Wow! Always amazing creations! Fantastic video! Good to see you again! Woo! 🤘

That drone pilot was no slouch.

“pay for a lot of good music for videos” *Kill EVERYBODY starts playing* Hell yeah you do!! That edit was insane and the riding even more! Those kids are wild!!!

Awesome build - like always !!!

Congrats on a gorgeous trail build. I haven't seen anything else that beautiful in the mountain biking world.

very impressive! great work gentlemen.

What a great video! Excellent quality!! Nice trail build!!

Nice Drone work!

Superb! Thank you, as always, for sharing.

I appreciate the music choices for sure! Great vid as usual and ending it went like with Kill Everybody made it even better

I’ve been watching you since your first backyard trail builds and it’s so cool to see how far you’ve got

You've really taken your skills to a whole new level! quite a pro and a long way from your first videos in your backyard. congrats & kudos!!

Great watch as always 👍 ... I think you need Milwaukee as a sponsor....

Thanks again for another opportunity to help showcase your work/creations!

Omg that song, it's one of my favorites. There's just one slight problem, drops at that height are pretty normal in street riding as well so I'd do that with no hesitation thinking "oh cool fun trail some drops gonna be easy" Except that I have no idea how to do jumps at all and I cannot do the rest of that trail at all. Except for that other drop.

Amazing work man, congrats. Thanks for sharing!!!

Another sick build! And yea man the Trio Behind Bars crew have been to our trails at the Bogue ;-) and they rip.

No matter how good you get, there will always be a Grom going bigger and faster than you!

"Assymetrical charm" - Story of my life man 🙂

Awesome man, I’ll support by giving you as much engagement as possible!!

You have come a long way. Great work.

RAD. Great to get another vid. I like this format.

I love the build! but it looks like you could have used have the wood for planks by cutting them in half before laying them of the stringers. It would save a lot more wood.

Been a fan for a while now and love how the quality and designs keep getting better every video, this one is top notch! Out of curiosity, around 8:24 you laid full length boards on cut a ton of excess of each side, just seems like a reoccurring theme in your videos that you always have a lot of off cuts and we don’t get to see if these get saved for future projects or sent to the burn barrel. Just seems like using a 8’ piece, you could plan for a 4’ wide layout and have zero waste. No hate at all, just curious!

At Duthie Hill Park in Issaquah, WA has a similar feature to the “squirrel catcher.” More people break their collar bones on that feature than any other feature at the park. They also have hoards of 9-13 year olds who can shred-shred.

Great work and an amazing edit of the kids shred the trail. Greetings from europe 🤘

Not a trail rider, but loved this video... the music was awesome too! subscribed and liked!

Wow, that is a Gnarley trail. Nope, not even in my dreams could I ride that! So good for those who've got the skills! I'd love to go there one day, watch all the hitters ride that trail and ride the chicken track

Great job on the trail! Growing up I would have loved having access to a trail like this. I'm jealous. My trails were a bit more urban/suburban. 20 some years later and five kids of my own, I couldn't afford possibly getting injured doing this.

Good format, great edit!

Sick video! Amazing sounds track too!

If they had these when I was younger, I would not have made to being an adult. Love it.

Good video bro. Good drone work.

Its cause I did a premiere for this video. Totally screwed up the algorithm. Will never do that again.

Drone work was exceptional!

Trail looks like fun!

Cool to watch, I'm just a trail rider type myself and was wondering if I should get my 10 year old daughter into it or if she was too young. Guess I got my answer. I'm envious of those kids, what a privilege to be able to get into that at that age! Good for them!

Beautiful work!

never thought I'd hear unironic skrillex in current year, but here we are

I litarally have goose bumpe watching this. love the content, cant wait to ride this trail.

The thing to keep in mind with squirrel catchers, and skipping them, is that if it's the first thing I come up to and I feel I'm "going in cold" then I'm counting on the trail to ramp up in difficulty as it progresses with some sort of "boss-level" feature or series of features in the third act. (if not that late then at least in the second half of the trail.) I've tried this and been successful... In not sustaining *serious* injuries. Lol ...mostly...😅🤞🏾🤘🏾

quality content. subscribed right away. keep it up!🤙

omg skrillex hell yeahh dude! 😭Been watching since 2020, so happy for you bro!

Those kids are frickin' fearless!

Pro tip. Im a licenced construction professional. Use an 1/2 inch impact gun and the proper socket to tighten those anchors down and check it with a torque wretch to verify proper torque and you drill them deep enough according to manufactures specs

Drone pilot is the most impressive part of the video

It's quite amazing what good music can do to a video Great video!

What a nice feature, this looks amazing.

I always do my best to respect a trails gatekeeper 😅 fantastic work!

Great drone flying and what not 😂

Great production effort.
