Honestly didn't realize how much content Seth has made since he started out. I went back and started to re-watch everything and I mean everything after finally getting into mountain biking about a month ago and I am still only about half-way through all the Old Seth's bike hacks. The things Seth has accomplished through this channel are just amazing!

I don’t think you realize how much of an impact you’ve had on this sport. 2 years ago I saw my first “seths bike hacks” video, and learned about mountain biking. I fell in love with it, dusted off my parents old 90s trek and started riding. Today I’m about to ride my first real mountain bike, (Giant trance X 29er), and I wouldn’t have ever gotten here without Seth. I grinded to afford a good full suspension, saving up for two years.

We have no uplifts here in England and I’ll typically ride up 3,000 feet on a ride with my 50 something buddies and it is epic… I am pushing myself harder and doing more because the drudgery of monster climbs is eased, more than that we are doing jumps going up the hills.

The lack of love for e-bikes is a bummer. Typically, the "e" part is only used for the climb. Which means the rider can spend more time and human-energy on the fun stuff. A legal e-bike isn't tearing up the trail (power, speed, assist limits), and I wish they weren't so discouraged by seemingly needless restrictions. *There is a big difference between a legal e-bike (levels 1, 2, 3) and the illegal (practically e-motorcycles) that sticklers seem to imagine ripping up the trails.

In theory e-bikes can sustain higher powers in a way most un-assisted do not, accelerating erosion and perhaps posing a hazard in share spaces. I don't know whether there's any strong evidence either way on the reality of it. The 'rules' are only part of the story anyway, in the UK (and elsewhere) some people ride technically illegal derestricted e-bikes and scooters in public places and go unchallenged. Road-legal e-bikes are limited to 25 kph and 250 W I believe, and the user must always be pedalling to get power. In the UK, electric scooters are only allowed by local by-laws for hire schemes. Many of the 'illegal' bikes and scooters do no harm at all, and they're preferable to more cars, but we clearly need a properly harmonised approach to electric and e-assisted micromobility.

Counter discussion pointed out the bikes go no faster downhill, and they were wrong about the uphill speed.

Real shame on the eBikes. Plenty of folks out there with chronic medical conditions, long term recovery or pain that can't do manual climbs anymore. eBikes allow them to get back out there without needing a gravity feed park (lift/bus). Also allows them to stay active and get stronger so maybe they won't need the e-assist at some point in their future. Not criticizing you or Berm Peak/Park specifically since it's clearly not your call. Just a frustrating mess trying to find places that do allow it. Please make that extremely clear on any informative pages that exist. Nothing is worse than not seeing them disallowed on official sites. Then driving a couple hours to find it posted that you can't ride.

Wow. This is something I would have never expected! I remember stumbling across your channel YEARS back and watching you all the time until you got me into mountain biking. As I've fallen away from mountain biking, I stopped watching your channel, but I guess KZbin wanted me to see how far you've come. after seeing this it makes me want to pick up my bike again and go hit some of those trails! Truly amazed to see how much this channel has grown and how far it's come! Congrats :)

E-bikes not allowed? Didn't even know that could be possible... It's like no electric cars allowed on a road...just silly... Are they afraid they'll be faster downhill than the non electric bikes? That seems weird...

i can't agree with the regulation e bikes are off(it is none sense).... e bikes without battery are almost in the same weight with a hardcore dh bike if only the deterioration of the track quality is a consideration, not to mantion there are more kind of people with different wieght, just immagine! My kid is 16 years old and wehigts with his e- bike nothing more than 80 kg in full gear, but i am with my normal dh bike almost 120kg with full gear .... So i could be use this bikepark but my kid couldn't.... completely pointless Maybe I see it wrong and there is another reason if so please someone enlighten me! Just a little curiosity. In europe, for example, in austria and germany, but even in slovakia (all european commission), the tracks in bikeparks can be used with an electric bike in almost every park without exception. Anyway, the work and the result are fantastic, I can only congratulate. I am very sad that there are not even similar tracks here in Europe in my country, Hungary. (sorry for my english, i am not expert) Peace!

@@_tim___4234 Well then all I can say about the sanction is that it is pathetic. I guess many of us grew up in the era that we had to deal with the slopes uphill. Probably this is the envy of the ban. And envy is always a bad advisor. It doesn’t bother me at all if someone overtakes me uphill with an E-bike. It’s simply clear, but that’s why he should be hated because he doesn’t want to go down the same slope 2x in three hours, but has the option of 3-4x as well.

Just started riding less than a year ago and Berm Peak has been a staple in my learning about the sport. So excited for you Seth and can’t wait to get out there and ride the park. I’m in Wake Forest, NC so what feels like a mythical place is not far from reality! Congrats! 🍻

Why do you have such problems with e-bikes in the US? Here in Germany there's no difference in trails for normal and electric mountain bikes. And why would it be? A 100 kg rider on a 15 kg mtb is still heavier than a 80 kg rider on a 25 kg e-mtb. And in downhill trails the extra torque/ speed from the motor also shouldn't really matter.
