How did they even let me build THIS??

When I first saw this beautiful old log, with the perfect curve in it, I knew it had to become a whale tail. As it turned out, that was the easy part. The last big jump on the trail was not so easy to get right...

Whale, that's quite the tail!

[@BCpov]

You guys need to take a trip town to Tassie!

[@LEGENDofBEANY]

The whale is smiling too! I love this Eric. Beautiful job!

[@MarkusFinholt]

For most people, this is just another trail building video from their favourite youtuber. But through a filmmakers lens, I am super impressed with your story telling, and how you somehow manage to make it better every single video. I think you might have the best story telling channel on youtube.

[@BCpov]

aaah! Thanks Markus! I try so hard on that side, so glad to heard that kind of feedback :)

[@speed2live]

Also the selected music inclusions are very nice.

[@d-nicebikes]

Well done, both of you. Need some of these types of builds back on Canadian soil!

[@quepala]

Yuka seemed so much more confident with this bike than the new one ... great video as always.

[@aria8928]

squaring off all that log without a beam guide is wild, respect.

[@carpenter751]

Yuka is so funny with the "just send it".

[@The85Ripper]

Always a good day when bcpov uploads

[@eightwheeladventures]

The log is almost a smiling whale. Love it.

[@williamhollan558]

That impact driver ASMR. Hit me deep down in ma' feels

[@leelikesgrass66]

absolutely love the amount of effort you've put into this track

[@ItUndMedienEinfachErklaert]

Finally a new building episode 🎉

[@MxEdits101]

Every time erik posts I know its going to be great, can’t wait to watch it! Also, I would really like seeing more BC vids, I liked them a bit more. This is fine but you can even see on vid performance that bc videos do better

Always a good day when BCPov drops a build video

[@MrRedsi]

That looks so much fun!!

[@cutlaps]

Awesome to see the trail finished! Solid effort mate!

[@BCpov]

Thanks Luke! You'll have to go down and ride it :)

[@DMMTB]

@@BCpov Great Trail Eric & if Luke dose go a might have to join him 🤘

[@stevemendelson4711]

This was so Epic!! Good on you.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Very creative use of that tree. The finished product looks awesome and I love the shirt. 😀

[@BCpov]

I love the shirt too 🧡 Heard you're in the shirt making business now too! thanks for watching Aaron!

[@MTB_ADVENTURE]

nice job, well done

[@flowstateofmind]

Love the use of the whale and the extra options on the jumps and berm!

[@thedude8471]

Petition to make people stop saying first

[@ashleytombs]

I don’t understand why people get chuffed about being first in the coms it’s probably about bragging rights oh look I was first to comment on a video whooped doo as if anyone cares 😂😂

[@r28a]

I second that.

[@Sherwey]

837th 😊

[@MtbOverload]

Nah every comment is good for the algorithm

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

Fourth to agree

[@Froff]

Loved this video mate. Rudi and I watched the whole thing through. We both loved how well you were using that digger. She kept saying “that’s dads work” haha great job mate

[@BCpov]

Thanks man! haha.. that could be dads work! Do you have any interest in trail building?

[@ericdonahue1827]

Pretty cool your last ride with your shadow!! Great trail! 🤘

[@bengordon2330]

Nice work

[@noniecabrera]

Well done!!

[@JEMMTB1]

great! love the vid and the trail, good name too

[@gregstevens2917]

Very nice...much success!

[@Smashyhammer281]

Sick video dude!

[@Ridgelineranger]

this trail looks so much fun😢😮😮🎉😂🎉😢😮😮😮😮

[@cedricclamaran]

Watching a new video on your channel just puts a smile on my face. You always make me want to ride my bike so bad. Congrats on the track, looks sick, lot of hard work there. Cheers from Spain ❤

[@tomassanesson902]

So awesome

[@aussiebiking]

Nice build. Good seeing how the whaletail worked. Nice job mate 😁

[@justinhawkins1159]

This is awesome 👏

[@lostman65]

very cool!

[@seanwelden4284]

If you have enough speed to clear the last one just rolling down the landing of the whale tail, you will obviously over clear it hitting it at trail speed and when the riding surface isn't a sandbox/beach (if that ever happens since you built it out of sand despite showing us your easy access to what appeared to be some good clay).

[@iamSofaK1nG]

Duuuuuuuuuude, you are amazing!! WICKED bike track. Sweet Whale feature!! amazing!!!

[@Gliese710_]

Sick build. That intro music sounds like the regular show basketball god song lol.

[@B1KER]

Fun series man. Like previous you, I only have only build trails by hand. It would be super cool to learn how to use an excavator.

[@BCpov]

It is pretty handy!

[@m.i.c.h.o]

Always love the music choice in your videos. I should really go to Tas sometime!

[@youphilable]

very good!

[@WilburWeston]

well done on the trail i notice that your jumping is quite right to help that bend down before the take off and push up while going up the take off if keep up the good work

[@duanet376]

Awesomeness! I love you are both still in Tassie too! (Unless you uploaded this from home 🙂)

[@1993Revhead]

Took me a while to realise you guys are in Australia 🇦🇺 😅

[@RideyRodney]

22:07 I'm getting Endless Summer 2 vibes. You and Yuka need to keep this adventure going onto another country. Maybe New Zealand next?

[@KevinT3141]

Lol, I was hoping for Eh Line...

[@Villie37711]

If you feel that you aren't hitting it, you could cut off the landing at 17:15 so that you make it, which could help you to hit other jumps. I am also worried about the log moving over time which could make the feature unsafe

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

Well, to be fair, it’s building a whale tail on top of an old dead tree. But totes dope nonetheless 🤘🏻

[@sandford_large]

I was wondering when you were going to post this. It has been a while since the first part was up. Another reason you visit Tassie. So many quality parks down there. Well done on this trail.

[@Lizzie_MTB]

You're definitely going to need to come back to 'straya again to ride your trail once bedded in!

[@BCpov]

I'd love to!

[@WesMacaulay]

A study in good trail building 😎 - you're just building stuff all over the world, mate!

[@smiffysmokelife]

We have to keep telling Yuka to learn to bunny hop so she can pop off jumps. It will make it all so much easier.

[@John-11739]

I’ve always wanted to go on a rant about how Yuka just needs to learn how to actually jump instead about going all dead-sailor but I don’t want to be rude…

[@bbnugget]

9:25 nice drill montage

[@wessi096letsgo]

You need a sombrero You deserve one

[@NoahSutcliffe28]

i saw you met Layla Sharman!

[@ashleytombs]

wow I don’t know what is more beautiful the work that has gone into the The whale tail or the feature itself Plus it’s so nice to have the rain back in the UK after five days of 18 to 25° use British folk don’t like the heat rather have our Rein beck 😂😂

[@cheezbeerd]

I know you can't fix it now, but a roller between the last berm and the jump would probably have helped a lot with speed and confidence rolling in.

[@edo_mtb958]

Did u put oil in the chainsaw so it doesn't burn out and makes it run smoother?

[@krstotvorek1]

Are you trying to built trail that dosent aquire pedalling because on my home trails some times you need sprint and hard pull to make it to landing

[@Juderocks0]

NGL I just noticed that the BCPOV logo is a chain link

[@BCpov]

😅

[@BadenSpeight-so4cl]

Where abouts in Tasmania is this trail

[@FfFireboi88]

Q n A

[@hellojrod]

You hid the whole tree underneath the boards. May as well just used dirt.

[@williamandclareeddington2266]

I have ridden this trail it’s is so fun but the lips are steep

[@Ca_milo_G]

bro i was sooo close.\

[@elisa7357]

Who is going to do maintenance? Local MTB builders?

[@BCpov]

Simon is the resident builder!

[@T3H455F4C3]

2:57 unless the teeth on that file are reversed, I can see why you are having such a hard time cutting the log :P

[@BCpov]

Those files directional? Push and not pull?

[@T3H455F4C3]

@@BCpov Yep. In North America anyway. Maybe they do things differently over there.

[@pedroziparo]

where is this

[@schnell356]

Why not just keep the log as the riding surface? With all the added lumber, the log is barely part of the feature and not necessary.

[@tarotangrine3681]

Bruh

[@brendengriffin9862]

Mate that’s a tree

[@thecoasterguy7367]

For a trail that’s supposed to be intermediate, you’re having a lot of trouble, even when you can clear the much harder jump lines. If it’s intermediate, this jump line should be almost too easy for you.

[@willemteale5020]

I'm just worried that it'll rot and lose structure and similar for the rest of the dead trees

[@LouisCollison-rj5ks]

Eucalyptus is rot resistant I’m pretty sure

[@TheCustomBay]

you konow what else have curves ?

[@joeshawcroft7121]

.... jumps... 🤣🤣

[@user-hk5ew9wc4b]

Just padle

[@papaw_wheelie]

You should not have decked the log and you said it was going to be a drop off the end. Could have been a double black diamond feature but you turned it green. I'm 65 and wouldn't hesitate to ride that.

[@mtbstefano]

Jump looks small and the lip is still wrong, you've not changed the pitch very much just made it lip lower

[@JwallzMTB]

the jump was fine before u chopped it just need to commit or boost it.

[@FlipFB]

I see your guy's trouble with jumping I've noticed you are very stiff in the air and not too confident. Sometimes you gotta just send it trusting your skills and learn to whip or do something in the air please 🙏
