[@oliverGTn]

Well sick! Get Sam pilgrim, he’s the king of sketchy builds. Haven’t seen a colab with you two in years! Also sell the Audi for a digger!

[@harrymain]

Yeh deffo man! Would be sick

[@rawdog7220]

Yes Mate! Quick tip... print out a couple of maps of the quarry (even if it's just google earth screenshots) and start scribbling out ideas for lines. It will give you a better idea of the lay of the land, and help you make the most of what you can fit in👍

[@harrymain]

Yeh man deffo a good idea that!

[@rohanmorganrichards]

Genuinely is a dream to build a bike park one day, siiick 🎉

[@harrymain]

Mate how savage !!

[@aaronroe4127]

Stu is the boy, some man living the dig life day in and day out!

[@harrymain]

He’s a sick guy innit

[@cyclin_sean.3713]

Sam Pilgrim and Matt Jones would be all over it bro.....🤘

[@harrymain]

Agreed !!!

[@thatman84]

Brendog's reaction would be fire

[@ps4shotsgaming528]

Agreed 2nd that, would be mad to see this lot riding together Btw really liking the quarry idea, So far so good with the roll in

[@JosephEvanss]

Needs to be longer gap with a less steep kicker. long and gradual kicker with a bigger gap would be much better

[@harrymain]

Agreed !

[@harrymain]

That will be fast as!

[@thatman84]

Got some stones for hitting that one harry.

[@Mellments]

Such a big task at hand. Can’t wait for the digger to get in there. I think you’ll find a new found enthusiasm for even bigger plans once you have a digger to alleviate some of the dread of such a large task ahead shovelling so much for such a large area from scratch that’s dedication. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Looking forward to the wall rides!

[@harrymain]

Yesss mate been absolutely on the digger for days !! Coming together !!

[@Matty-B-on-an-MTB]

That's an epic drop, look ridiculous on the chesty!!! Be great when the brash is gone for the run up. Defo worth a collab with Sam Pilgrim, got his name all over it! PS, hoodies arrived today from your store, great kit! Thanks!❤

[@harrymain]

AWESOME !! Thanks for input ! ⚡️🔥

[@Jngham.-]

Love from Wigan bro! This bike quarry is going to be EPIC once its finally done

[@harrymain]

Digger this weekend ! About to get real!

[@Official.Swayvoury]

You wanna get some grafter shovels. They have a long shovel head and will cut through the dirt. We use them at work! 🤙

[@harrymain]

Yeh defo bro!!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I reckon a straight flat drop would suit that roll in way better!

[@nbsliving3408]

Looking awesome defo need to put a massive wall ride on that cliff face at the end and then could link into more lines even a drop off.thanks for videos

[@harrymain]

Yeh sick idea that!!!

[@mikethomas2172]

Not seen Harry this happy since competing in BMX

[@PainfullyAverageMTB]

I think you need to take the top off that ramp and it will be fine..it launchs you up instead of forwards. Also, get a petrol brush cutter/strimmer in and clear all that greenery and give a blank canvas on the sections you are working on... Top content, dude... wouldn't mind popping over for a nosy

[@harrymain]

Yes mate sick idea that on the park Ideas 💡

[@PainfullyAverageMTB]

@@harrymain i spoke to farmer John last week he said you had spoken to him hes a busy dude but if he can find the time hes deffo your man to get in for some pointers

[@ukgsniper]

​@@PainfullyAverageMTB John's a legend ain't he

[@davidstemp2367]

Wooden kicker at the bottom. Will save on so much dirt . Keep up the cracking content. Loving the bike / build content

[@harrymain]

Wood is savage for kickers ! Gonna scope it out this week!

[@simonparky86]

Something for little rippers (

[@onesoldsoul]

Awesome project. Maybe build a smaller ramp next to the existing one and widen the landing accordingly... You can pick and choose. Plus when you build that first jump you got 2 entry speed options. Higher take off speed from higher drop in and lower take off speed if dropping from lower drop in. Could equal 2 blended take off options on first jump...saweeeeet.

[@harrymain]

Yes sick idea my bro

[@MrDelcol]

Good to see it progressing. This place has a ton of potential Cant wait to see it evolve and expand with new features.. Would be good to see sam reynolds colab.

[@harrymain]

Yes mate nice one brother

[@mrh4842]

😨 OMG ! That Kicker is far too steep. If you had gone any faster, you’d of landed at the very bottom of that quarry. Shit Your Pants Scary mate Maybe Sam Pilgrim should drop by & give it a try, like someone has commented. Anyway it’s good to see your latest project up & running. A massive 👍👍👍👍👍👍 up to you Harry.

[@jaykellett7693]

build looks sick! please please please make the runs as long as possible!

[@harrymain]

Yeh sik idea !

[@markbooth6745]

Brilliant video harry, looks hard work digging that out. But will be great when it done.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎👍

[@harrymain]

Thanks dude !!!

[@campbellross8363]

New fan here looking forward to seeing what you do with this! Definitely shout out matt jones his park build was a great watch!

[@harrymain]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@benwilliams8437]

Nice Little Touch 😀

[@harrymain]

Thanks 😁

[@blackmoreapparel2176]

Drainage. Next time it pisses down you need to go there and see where the water goes and ends up. This will help a lot in the long run

[@JIMWSMITH]

Ye man . Some craft gone into that section, but shows the potential that place has . Your absolutely buzzing.

[@harrymain]

Yes bro!

[@ridethenorthmtb]

Knock the kick out of the ramp and bring it back a few feet and you will just scoop in lovely. Good series bud keep.it up.

[@harrymain]

Thanks my bro! Sick ideas

[@Wee-Lee-MTB]

Naahh you dont need pilgs or the jones's as said in comments, you got this bro, with a few good people in your ear telling you the right way to do shit, it'll be mint. Like the back combing back into holes and re packing. Little gems... Defo less kicky kicker at top and more gradual and straight off as opposed to a booter. Cant wait to see how this comes along

[@harrymain]

Yeh bro sick thanks for the support !

[@Andy4543]

I ordered timbits from Tim hortons to watch this video bro. Should be here any minute!! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@harrymain]

Yesss !!!

[@springplankmtb]

Nice work keep this following. Greetings from Holland Harry.

[@harrymain]

Sick !!

[@tomlee2264]

You should deffo colab with matt jones again been to long would be able to give you some inspiration and ideas. Looking foward to watching the build progress😀 Also need to build your self a some of cover to chill away from the weather or get an old caravan or something

[@harrymain]

That would be cool! Sick idea !!

[@Send_IT_Simon]

I would love to see more kids being introduced to trails and digging It didn't harm us but sometimes got us in to trouble. What about building a safe space for kids to learn how to build and ride. Get hope academy involved maybe.

[@sameoldbmx]

Harry yo buy some big boy framing tarps so you can make a water catcher so you can water the lines, when the big digger turns up for the big line. Oh from experience dig the last to the first so you don’t tarp your digger in the end of the line 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@harrymain]

Yeh haha good idea

[@sameoldbmx]

@@harrymain Ever seen don’t brake the oath the trails scott rides we got the digger stuck at the wrong end of the trails haha

[@sameoldbmx]

Right bear with me on this e-bike up lift a wheel in some forks at the bottom of the hill some rope around the rim top of the hill an e-bike aka a crap e-bike rope round the back will in a loop pedals going round to pull you up. I doubt it will work but it would be funny watching people try to get up with it.

[@theadhdbiker6493]

Hear me out... that roll in,build a kicker at the bottom and use the massive wall at the bottom as a wall ride 👌

[@harrymain]

Ye deffo bro!

[@tomojames420]

If your wanting a better way of compacting the soil get a tarmac tamper will make it way easier for you loving the episodes massive respect 💯

[@harrymain]

Thanks for the tips!

[@keonb863]

kinda remindes me of leeds urban quarry drops. i can tell this is gonna be sick mate!

[@harrymain]

Yes mate sick that

[@JamesEden]

Literally use the entire ridge line as it looks higher above the cliffs then curves around towards your wooden booter. Please try and use the maximum elevation to build the trail and have that feature in the middle of the trail.

[@harrymain]

Yeh sick idea !

[@jamiewareing4929]

🔥🔥 thas got the minerals lad 🤘

[@harrymain]

Haha sick drop innit !

[@DamianHyde]

It would be hilarious to get Matt Jones out there at this point with that ramp!

[@harrymain]

Yeh deffo

[@lilbiscuit2671]

Cant wait for this to open fully bro Ive never been to a bike park thats been created by a youtuber. Big love man

[@Jb995k]

What area is this in? Looks sick btw

[@1959AD]

that loamy dirt above the ramp may benefit from having gritty sand stuff from lower down sprinkling on the top to bind it together or it may get washed away in heavy rain ?

[@harrymain]

Yeh deffo man

[@adamnickel]

Go review Matt Jones’ playground that they build and see how his line starts… you need something like that to start. Tiny roll in, few rollers and a berm down into the main roll in line…

[@harrymain]

Yeh been watching it bro insane !!

[@Yngrr024]

Feel like there's one man and one man only the viewers are gonna wanna see here once your done Harry is Sam Pilgrim now that'd be a sick vid❤

[@harrymain]

Sikc !

[@stylomtb2948]

Are you thinking about where to put in pushup trails etc

[@harrymain]

Yeh gonna dig an uplift track in for sure !

[@Christianlloyd65]

Mainland in the making 😎🔥

[@harrymain]

It’s on route !!

[@Riffbmx_318]

trail builder tips, always stand downhill to the dirt, saves ya back from dying, always get rid of grass before putting dirt on top for the berms or jumps, and when smacking dirt in, use a long handle shovel and kind of smack and drag at the same time, that way it doesnt stick as easy and keep coming back up. honestly doesnt hurt to watch a few videos on trail building yourself before ya start to get the hang of things, took me about 2.5 years of digging the hard way before I learnt a few tricks 👌🏽 dont use waste under good dirt, it will always fail, dont make dry mounds and ride them, and ALWAYS pack the shit outta the jumps with some water aswell. hopefully this helps, cause im sure the trail fellas will allll agree with me on these tips.. churrr

[@harrymain]

Ahhh sick advice brother

[@Riffbmx_318]

@@harrymain no worries bro! Stoked to see these eps! Gonna be willldddd when ya done! Keep up the good work 🤘🏽

[@michaelderrick8709]

Do the roll in first, it will give you a true sense of speed going into the drop off. Then build a feature at the bottom.

[@harrymain]

Yeh I agree dude !!

[@mikepage7666]

If ur considering long term hire, u'd be better off buying ur own then get a tilting grading head, get a whackerplate aswell, no beating the floor then, looking gud tho man 👌

[@harrymain]

Yeh man deffo a sick idea

[@mikepage7666]

@harrymain we use the graders in ditches at work but I've seen James at Revs using the same thing to sculpt berms and jumps, King Of Spades on utube uses a whackerplate on his berms, dangles them from the top on rope, loving where ur going with this thi, every riders dream 🤙 👌

[@richennessey]

Il give it a whirl harry lad, only cos I’m dying to know where this gem is hidden. Il sacrifice a limb or some teeth on the landing , just to know.Good luck with the build la

[@patrickh1234]

Its sick ! get matt jones to do it

[@daledubose3032]

To save dirt if needed, you could build wooden lips and just use the dirt on your landings.

[@jakjak4271]

Sick this lad some hard work tho u need extra hands?? got me bag too thx for the extra stickers 😂👊 boss this

[@joeyates97]

Need to get Matt Jones involved in this👍🏼

[@harrymain]

Yes mate

[@elliottchard]

Love this series🎉

[@harrymain]

Sick bro!!

[@bethanyboland1898]

Madd stuff dude 🤙🏻

[@harrymain]

Yesss!!!

[@danielimpett1277]

You gotta have a line of shark fins that'll weave through and over the other lines

[@harrymain]

Yeh left to right ect. Sick idea tbh!!

[@TheTissueTank]

Actually a sick series already mad hyped for you man and I'm not even doing it 😂😂😂

[@harrymain]

That’s so sick Come get involved !

[@TheTissueTank]

Madness might have to do a trip up from Devon in the future

[@wilde234]

Loving watching this content tho, havent watched u in ages 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@harrymain]

Nice one my dude

[@iamkeir]

So cool 🎉 are you worried about vandalism of people coming up and messing with stuff? I can see graff in the background on some of the rocks so just wondered

[@joedavies8724]

Thinking of getting a kenevo, can you do a pros/cons of owning one?

[@harrymain]

Yo bro I love mine ! No issues !

[@AlanBurr-sg5oj]

Leave the drop at the top, but do some fill-in with some dirt so you are not dropping quite so far and the landing is even steeper?

[@harrymain]

Yehhhh sick idea !!

[@shelbygt500ak]

Well sick! Get Sam pilgrim, on your channel harry

[@harrymain]

On it!

[@mscustomlures]

Get yourself some long handled shovels, irish shovel (pointed) for digging and a flat one gor shaping it'll save your back slightly over using normal shovels. The take off is too steep you're losing too much speed going up it if it were a foot or more lower it would send you further and not waste speed on the roll in. With the speed you have you'll probably get 1 or 2 big jumps max before the quarry wall looking at it, is there an option to split the line at the bottom and have a shark fin left to make use of the space into a set of doubles whilst still having a straight option into the cliff? Whilst you have the whole quarry you'll need to plan smart to maximise your speed if you wamt to make a long line as once you're in the quarry floor you've lost your gradient. Whilst building multiple single features makes good youtube content you can soon get bored of it and you've still got the rent to pay

[@harrymain]

Yeh I did wonder weather pointed was better !!

[@jaredwoodward919]

Those steeper hills are just crying out for a zig zag trail with bad erms and with a few rock gardens, just so you have a bit of everything to ride in the quarry.

[@harrymain]

Deffo some switchback!

[@thehallsadventures19]

Needs an open loop or shark fin lip to shark fin landing

[@harrymain]

Yesssss mate !!!

[@liamcochrane81]

Yes Harry mate keep these coming

[@harrymain]

Nice one bro

This is crazy cant wait for next video now

Ay yo bro love it😮❤

[@harrymain]

[@acwvaleting3291]

How about some north shore type features? 🤙🏼

[@harrymain]

Sick idea !!!

[@joshdavies6723]

please make the top of the landing a touch wider. a foot either side maybe

[@richdarby2639]

Stu is a digging king😂

[@harrymain]

Haha he’s good innit

[@littledevilchris666]

I don’t know exactly how much space you got but you could consider chucking 3 x shipping containers next to wherever you park for it Shipping container 1 is your admin and where you charge/ sort out admission Shipping container 2 you rent to a young bike mechanic for 300 a month, they give you 10 percent of what they make from labour(in return if you have a good fit) you will get free advertisement on your bike park, as well as more footfall in traffic. I wish there was somewhere near me which could tune my suspension and I could test it on a trail to get it right. Container 3 rent it out similar deal to container 2 to someone wanting to rent out a fleet of bikes , hell container 2 if switched on could service them for a fee making a nice nest egg. Also even more advertisement for your park. This was partly my business plan for when I leave the forces however I’m thinking of relocating to a different country when I retire so would rather drop my plan onto another rider especially if it means there can be more awsome places to ride in the UK

[@Wee-Lee-MTB]

Work smart not hard!! 👌👊

[@harrymain]

Deffo!!

[@jakestevens2295]

Your hands will get use to the spade week or so you’ll be fine mate haha

[@harrymain]

Haha 😛

[@scottymtb1448]

Almost looks like you might get the speed off the roll in to hit a wooden kicker and land up on top of the rock face in front 🤔

[@harrymain]

Yessss bro

[@DeluxPlays_]

omg that drop was janky 😭😭

[@harrymain]

🤣🤣🤣⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@JoseCortes-zu1sc]

HARRYMANIA 2 🤘

[@allsidehustle]

Just seen ur insta stories so i was like why not give u a idea, why not make a ramp when u go down that hill to go back up in the air if it makes sense ? Or would it cost too much money to do something like that ? Omg also i know what if u built a ramp going that hill aswell grinding on it with the bmx that would be sick surely that could be possible.

[@harrymain]

Sick

[@BlakeWade-dg3iz]

When you pack in the dirt, don’t just slap it because when it’s slightly wet it will clump on your shovel, slap and slide back and it’ll be flush and dreamy !

[@harrymain]

Ahhhhh ok great

[@msaad2796]

also you could you build some trails for us mere mortals pls?

[@martynlancaster4453]

What location is the park ?

I just went threw same thing making Gap smaller and run in better jump less steep build ride then re work part of game

That ramp needs to deffo be longer and flatter so you roll faster and just drop in as oppose to Evel Knievel up and over it 😅

[@harrymain]

Haha 😂

What area is this place in?

[@JTbuilding]

You’ve got a Manchester accent

[@JoshDoubleU]

this is fuckin sick man, deffo needs to gain more traction, personally bro i would complete the first 10% of the line so that the drop is dialed in.
