Just the berm was pretty close to 3 hours of work

Rest assured, I'm hanging out with my family and enjoying the holidays now. I'll be back at the trail building in about a week or so. Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I greatly appreciate you watching all my videos. It's really awesome to hear that. I feel like I'm getting more efficient with the trail building, and I have more time to focus on the quality of the build. Phase one was to get them all roughed in. Now phase 2. The pimping out process. I look forward to your visit. Maybe we'll get some time to build together. I love to see other people's work and techniques. Thanks

Great moisture content. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 😊

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

Thank you very much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thanks, it's awesome dirt right now. Well, except for the really icy areas. I appreciate you watching the vids.

It's tough to keep the toes warm. Seems like all my boots just like to suck up the cold out of the ground. I'll keep at it, though. We just passed the shortest day of the year. Spring is just around the corner. Woo-hoo!

Thanks for following me from the beginning. I can definitely do a video like that. In fact, I love that idea. When the weather gets better, I'll do that for sure. That will be a really fun video to put together.

Definitely, it's so soft and slippery right now. I can't wait to ride this when the weather gets better.

I'm going to focus my efforts on this trail for a couple more weekends. It's going to run really smooth.

The log corner is staying, but I added some dirt to help keep speed. The dirt is actually perfect to work with once you get that top layer of ice knocked away. Just sucks trying to test it all out. I feel like I could ride this trail 20% better at least if it wasn't so slimy. I feel great how much I got done this last weekend.

Yes, that is correct

True, I just don't want them in the face of my berms when I scraping around for good dirt.

Thank you very much. Yes, please come on out. It's awesome when people come out and ride all the trails.

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You're always welcome to help me build if you are in the area.

I can only imagine. I am definitely not a fan of what we get. It makes it difficult to get work done and sucks to ride. The slippery trails have been turning away the guests.

Thank you. My plans for 2025 is to go back through all the trails and give them some massive improvements

Always trying to put in the work

The more you ride, the more comfortable you get with speed. You'll learn what your bike can do. Be sure to learn good habits and proper form. I learned a lot of bad habits, and I sometimes find myself going back to my old ways. I also wouldn't try to go fast. Try to ride smooth, and the speed will come naturally. It is dangerous to crash into anything at high speed or any speed really. You'll find a lot of your crashes result in just a funny little tumble with no injury. I've been riding about 18 years now, and all my crashes were just a few scrapes and bruises. I always try to ride within my abilities, and I'm never too proud to walk a section I'm not comfortable with. You'll fall in love more and more with the sport the better you get. A great way to practice is on a pump track. Hopefully, you have one nearby.

@@mtbingadventures1551 I'm in Sacramento so I'll try to find one nearby. Thanks for the tips!

Rack N Road off of Arden way in Sacramento. I'm not sure if they're still there

Thanks, I but that for you. You can do a livestream out here while testing it out

Yes, for the most part, I build all the trails, and he works a lot more on infrastructure for the time being. It just kinda worked out like that. I used to be an HVAC contractor and didn't really want to build much infrastructure stuff. Got really burnt out on running pipelines and electrical. I love digging and designing trails. Brian has been absolutely fascinated with learning how to build stuff, and he's really good at it. It's been working perfectly for us so far. We have had to bounce around a bit, of course, and I believe Brian will want to do some trail building as well once things get a bit further a long

@ awesome relationship! Keep it going!

It's not on the property, but it's very close to Everstoke. Walking distance close

Thanks, it's too bad you're so far away. All the builders seem to be out of my immediate area. 😆 I noticed my video skills need to get better. It's like I'm not coordinated enough to walk and film. 🤣Thanks for letting me know. I'll get better at that.

@ you’re doing great! I look forward to “all your rides and builds”

I think I'm going to a combination of knocking of a bit of the rock and adding some more dirt. It's pretty insane in person 😳. But yeah, I think I could do just dirt and make it work

That would be great. I would love to have you out. If I'm around, I can show you the rock roll location. I think I'm close to riding it soon.

It is really insane 😳. No one has ridden it yet. I hope to tweak it a bit more so I can ride it.

Shhhh... The dirt is my mistress. Don't tell my wife. 🤣 This video was filmed before the last wave of rain. Still to this day, I do believe there is no snow at the property, though. I'll be back up there after Thanksgiving to find out

Awesome, thanks for watching both times. 😆

I did a few months ago. Got new TRP brakes when I took in as well as service

Thank you. True, Hazys are responsible for millions of the calories needed to build many of these trails. The least I could do is dedicate a trail to that very fine beverage. 🙂

Sorry, watched to the end and you did go through those tusk arches, awesome!! enjoy the channel. nice job

After I ride the line many more times. I will see where some of the optional lines will go. It would be awesome to include those bent trees more. I'll keep the name in mind as well as seeing if I can make a feature that will include those

@@mtbingadventures1551 Sounds good, actually the full name should be “woolly mammoth” :) been enjoying your channel the last couple of weeks . Possibly make a run up there next year after the thaw!! BTW, Do you allow class 1 e bikes at your park?

For Sure. The Bluetti only drops down a few percentage points after a couple hours of usage.

Unfortunately, I don't recognize you from your KZbin handle. I'm sure I had a great time meeting you because every guest so far has been awesome. I'm sure after this winter the trails are going to be really packed in. I'm really glad you liked the Crazy Creek trail. I think you were one of the two guys I just recently gave a short tour?

@@mtbingadventures1551 Monday Nov 10th. Silver Tundra with pop-up camper I was on the school bus yellow Norco Range VLT, You were showin two riders around

It's pretty awesome. I still need to perfect my set up. But, definitely a game changer

Crops? For farmland? Or is that a term for building trails?

@mtbingadventures1551 just being outdoors and working the land

Being outdoors is the best​@@nostr8ghtlinzs596

Thanks, I got some rubber boots so I can keep working away. (Hopefully)

Trail building? It's cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶 🤣. I'm still under the blankets and its 9:15🤡. And it doesn't even snow in the East Bay. I can't wait for next season.😱

Im definitely not a fan of the cold either. It's super difficult to get up and hammer out some trail work. ​@MacRogersrealestatebroker

@@mtbingadventures1551 Well, just know I'm cheering you on. More trails to ride 😇!

I'm not sure where this particular tool came from. I usually use a Kobalt brand Peloski to shape berms. Those are sold at Lowes.

Thanks!

And hopefully, it never will. The trail system has a ton of room for improvement. Thanks

Well, we do have some potential alternate features that might be up there in difficulty level. LOL

We would love to have some one volunteer from time to time as a camp host. Just collecting firewood, maybe cook some burgers, and minor things around the main hangout area. However, the Hazy IPA's would be awesome as well.

@@mtbingadventures1551 That's an excellent idea--perhaps next spring/summer 2025...we'll see....

That would be awesome. We are going to keep coming out in the winter as well. Just in case you're up for cold weather adventures.

90% of my videos you will have already have seen on Patreon. I make them a bit longer and commercial free on that platform. I sometimes have additional content on Patreon if I have time to make more videos

@@mtbingadventures1551 Oops, I forgot I was a Patron, sorry, man...

😄 no worries

The heavy rains might move some rocks around and stuff. We haven't had to much move around on us so far. We're going to see very soon what this year is going to do this trail.

Thank you, I do my best. I want to build a one of the most compelling MTB destinations there is to offer.
