I Made My Trail Better by DUMBING It Down.

Sometimes "dumbing down" a trail is the best course of action even if those old crabby mountain bikers complain. In this video, I build a way around the Yukan Do It Drop that may be more fun than the drop itself.

I adore the way you try to make sure the less skilled riders are also having a blast at the trail! Usually it's just a boring route around the obstacle but you really made something out of it! I personally really enjoy it when there are multiple ways to ride the same part as well, making it more diverse. Awesome work, can't wait to see more!!

[@MTBZenMaster]

Brilliant awareness on your part for making the trail ridable for different level riders. That is how we grow the sport isnt it. Now if they just open the border and then I can have a chance to ride some BC trails!

[@nykaigp]

I’m so glad your built a bypass for the lower level riders! Because I wouldn’t have been able to ride this at my level if it weren’t for you making easier lines

[@joshuakuberski5155]

same im happy about that too

[@charlieruggles4891]

Nice work Eric! The big dumb line is something that I could actually do on your trail😂

[@c4fireball557]

I love watching your videos there’s just some sort of calmness in them that keeps me watching

Know exactly what you mean, feel the same way.

[@mtb_gordo2504]

Me too

[@ericmonty]

3 days to dig a single berm... Trail building is not easy work. Much respect!

[@rustyshackleford6416]

You’re going to be ripped once this trail is finished! Can’t wait to see it all come together.

[@ebrahim.1146]

this video is a demonstration of how motivated you could be to do something full of enjoyment and love and discipline. I loved watching this it taught me a lot. much love and keep up your awesomeness

[@knordberg]

Great video. Love these build videos. Can't wait to see a full run down your trail once it's finished.

[@hvlfed6433]

I know i’m bouta sound like every other comment here but u have truly inspired me to take my ol’ mountain bike out and head down to the local trails at ledgeview with a couple friends, thanks for everything man, i appreciate it.

[@rpalley2]

The trail looks so much fun! Good job keep it up 👍.

[@crislabossiere6234]

That’s an awesome B-line! Well done on making your trail amenable to different levels of riders. Love to ride it some day.

[@Niemsters]

First time watching one of your videos... you guys are awesome! So cool you put in this kind of thought and effort.

[@kww1966]

9:00 That is called fatwood and you can lite it when it's wet. I bet some folks would love to buy some from you to stow away for fire starting in the rain. Good to have even in nice weather as you need way less kindling and it starts so easy. Bikepackers and campers and even like old RV folks could use that.

[@DerMandelmann]

I love that he uses cut down wood even for the planks!

[@TwinTipz]

You do some amazing trail builds, keep it up!!

[@jimm244]

Even though it’s not that big, the ride in to the rock drop would screw with my head. I’d be working myself up to the big dumb drop. 😁 I’ll probably never ride your trails, but thanks for making them. 👍👍👍

[@simonrobins6569]

About to put a little trail around our property and am planning bypass routes so my girls can ride the whole thing and not stack on the more technical stuff. This vid is great inspiration for that, but our build will be on a much smaller & lower skill level scale.

[@johnr5001]

Nice work dude! You build awesome segments.

[@harrykilby9795]

Just got Back from school and now I can enjoy this amazing video

[@bikelatino2211]

I'm always amazed about how permissive this kind of "dream dirt" is. There's absolutely no way a spade can pierce dirt in my sun-scorched trail. No pickaxe, no benchcutting crazy steep hillsides.

[@josefwakeling7103]

as someone that sucks at mtb having a smaller line to work up to bigger features is something i find really useful

[@roseweeks8066]

I don't ride mountain bike, but I watch every single episode and love it!

[@levihernandez812]

you are a great youtuber and it always brings a smile to my face when you upload. Thank you!

[@danielhanson1434]

I really like that you added an easier route, you should do this for all of the hard feature, or possibly make a blue flow trail in the summer when you got some fans down there to help

[@KnOOspa]

Such a nice Video! But i think it might be useful to use more logs (preferably also supported by trees) as a foundation for those higher berms.

[@jessicataylor5001]

I have got to admit I wish I was at ur level, the trails u do are amazing.

[@true3211]

@@floppyhcr2878 but it's only wet if it goes to the fluid state, which it doesn't do if its conditions don't change. so no, snow is not wet. if it is, it's no longer snow, it's fluid water mixed with snow or just fluid water.

[@kemptonrobert]

@@floppyhcr2878 It is H2O, yes, but I'm gonna assume you aren't from a place that gets a lot of snow. Wet, heavy snow feels and acts totally different to light, fluffy snow (which is fully frozen and feels dry). One is almost mashed potato texture the other more like loose styrofoam beads.

I like the reroute better then the hard line. I would've just let it roll out at the end for riders to be able to carry out some awesome speed instead of a drop. HARDER DOESN'T = FUNNER

[@willeaton2592]

When do you think the trail will be done?

[@Bjoern_the_Baer]

Unpopular opinion, bikes are so freaking good these days, the same riders who complain about everything getting easier are probably riding on modern bikes, so it's no wonder that it feels a lot easier to ride the same feature. If you compare a modern bike with an oldschool one, you'll feel a difference like night and day. Riding a trail with the old bike must have been a sketchy thing today it's not so sketchy but in my opinion it's not less fun that way. Just less risky

[@flyingbroskies713]

If the trail is gonna be public where is the trail at?

[@oj-didit3801]

Trails are not easy. It's the bike industry that is making people LAZY and be comfy I started with an specialized rockhoper . Now everyone wants a dropper and disk breaks 12speed cassette. To get to the top you had to sweat for it.

[@bobbursey7492]

[@rampatinling2689]

That sap filled log is "fat wood". If you ever need to start a fire, it burns really well. you find the fat wood in stumps and the base of branches of dead evergreen trees because the sap runs towards the base when the tree dies. Cool trail!

yeah that dead tree is a gold mine.

Cannot wait, trails run so much better in the UK in the summer. You feel like shit in the winter because you just cannot clear jumps because you have so much less speed.

Well here in the winter i will rain about 10 times but in the summer maybe 3 which make it super dusty plus in the summer it’s over 109

First time watching a BCpov vid. This guy is superman. I couldn't do that much work in a year. Heck, I was tired just watching the footage.

[@hamzarides8792]

Are you going to make a optional line for the stump jump? Because that feature is even harder than the yukan do it drop.
