Improving the best (MTB) thing I've ever built

The building process was awesome in its own right, but seeing the little one riding on it laughing and giggling warms my heart to a level I just can't describe.

[@Collegealgebra17]

i know! its so chill

[@JCintheBCC]

As a dad of a 6yo girl that rides, that “ladder bwidge? Whoa!” makes an already good video about 4x better all by itself.

[@TopAce6]

yup completely agree, I love hearing the sound of Joy, and love seeing a parent spend quality time with their kid. As I've gotten older, more and more do I love hearing the sound of kids playing. When my child's friends are over and they are all playing and laughing, its a great feeling, it brings a joyful vibe to the home. I guess I'm turning into a grandparent early?

[@Elmo6855]

Couldn't have said it any better!

[@Kelvallontan]

European here. You gave me a good laugh with the Imperial measures thing. I've long given up on questioning the validity of this choice in the US only. As if everything always made sense. The "Thank you daddy" coming from a kid at such low age must be one of the most rewarding things you can get (besides seeing your kid having fun). Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Jack-h9j3r]

Why does the US use imperial? Cuz we want to.

[@gropaygrapay]

@@Jack-h9j3r US uses imperial because England actually originally used Imperial, then we left England and made our own country, England switched to Metric, and everyone else in Europe followed along. Now don't quote me on this because I didn't do any research but thats what I've been told and it kinda makes sense.

[@ReaperCH90]

​@@gropaygrapay it is true, but what Americans don't know: they did switch to metric. The military e.g. did, but it's easy to change what units are used in a strict organization like a military. It is harder in civil life. So the transition from imperial to metric in the united states is very slow, because there are high costs connected to it. I think at one point not that far the united states will just use both, kinda like Serbia uses both kyrilic and latin letters, or the UK with Imperial and Metric.

[@Professor_sckinnctn]

So glad you didn't start actually defending non-metric measurements! That's why I have a tape measure with both inches and centimeters. And I love that your kid loved it!

[@ericg4626]

Showing your daughter the feature was such a sweet moment. I lost my dad a couple of years back at a relatively young age, and I don't want to make this sad. I just wanted to say that you will never understand what these things mean to your daughter and her friends. These special moments are lifelong memories for her and you, and it is really awesome to watch. Thank you so much for your channel Seth.

[@jakethesnake9340]

This video hit me pretty hard and made me tear up a little, just seeing a great dad, building something and sharing his interests with his daughter. Hope I can be as good as a dad as Seth someday.

[@alexford5214]

You have not only inspired my wife to ride, she now wants to build a small trail in our yard. I love seeing her inspired. Thanks ❤

[@imcbocian]

Wow, she just gave you permission for digging in yard?! That's a keeper 😁

[@GeorgeLoch]

Her giggles and enthusiasm are everything. So worth it.

[@reneeschke]

I just love your persistant portrayal of how to incorporate your children into videos without violating their privacy. There just is no debate to me on this topic. And I hope your good example spreads and inspires others. There is a middleground and it does not take away anything from the experience.

[@InFlamesrockz]

You nailed it: "the emotianal component, how it looks, how it feels" (2:35). I can remember my son riding a little north shore the first time. He was so amazed, even though it was nothing spectacular for an adult. Great video!

[@rafael_13]

Thats a fact. Me and my cousin are trying to make my 4 year old cousin start mountain biking, and we've been building some small features that look nice (and spray painting them pink lol) so she likes them. She rides those way more than the other ones. Also adding paw patrol stickers guarantees +10 laps

[@2BlueEyedBoys]

Just warms my heart to hear her excitement. My little ones are a foot taller than me now, but they still love our family rides and bike park vacations. ❤❤

[@ivi_lDgaming]

10:00 not gonna lie, you almost had me in the first half 😂😂

[@haemmertime]

but to be fair at least in germany in construction imperial messurements are common. Plywoodsheets are 2 foot wide, pipe diameters are messured in inches and so on

[@user-jh528]

Sorry to disappoint you, but as a carpenter from Germany I can say that we (at least in carpentry) are NOT using imperial measurements. Why should we? :-) Btw: A sheet of plywood is 62,5cm or 1,25m (2 times 62,5cm) wide and 2,5m in length. 2ft are 60,96cm, so that's not the same ;-)

[@DROGOC0P]

​@@haemmertimein argentina, mechanical engineering, standard pipes and structural steel is often in inches. we use metric for everything though

[@cynic5581]

Most Americans use both interchangeably anymore and don’t even realize it. Even the guy that dropped out of school to be a drug dealer uses metric daily (grams). 😂 Learning the more complicated imperial system makes converting to metric pretty simple. Just knowing 30.48 cm in a foot and 2.54 cm in an inch makes it conversion to anything merely a matter of moving a decimal. Because if you memorize those two numbers you know there is 25.4 mm in an inch, or 304.8 mm in a foot or a foot is .3048 of a meter (unlikely you’d need to know that). Anymore someone complaining about someone else using imperial just sounds like someone complaining about someone else not speaking English.

[@403patriot3]

Speaking of metric, helltrack was just a couple kilometres up the river from my place…not A helltrack…THE helltrack. (RAD) Brother, your videos are so awesome, ever since you started releasing a lot of your videos, Calgary has built a lot of pump tracks and like things. I think you have a lot more influence than you realize, nobody had a channel like this before you. Thanks for contributing so much to the bicycle community, dude your kid is so cute I could cry. Much love and respect from Calgary Alberta

[@brucemackay8786]

Ex: Calgarian. Noticed all the bike work last time visited the fam. Next trip out, 💯 bringing the HT (perfect urban trail weapon). My wife's on board too.

[@jdgdesign]

Heat treating the post driver caps should help them last longer. For something being hammered on you would want less hardness to reduce the embrittlement. Try heating the post driver until it's glowing red and then allowing it to cool as slowly as possible should help with stress relief and reduce chances of welds cracking. Hammering is going to work-harden them but it may buy you more usable life.

[@paddor]

All it needs is a chamfer on the post. Nothing fancy. Just ancient knowledge.

[@rcranes2227]

Oh, Rebecca's celebrations brought me back to my daughter at her age. Such a fun age. Glad you're enjoying it. They're all great, but you do still get nostalgic for the ones that go by.

[@Podfoto]

I’ve recently gotten into mountain biking at the ripe age of 41, and I discovered your channel. There are a number of reasons I love your content, but as I dove in I began to admire your love for getting kids into the sport. So much so that I’ve dedicated myself to teaching my young son how to ride so that eventually we can go out on trails together. Lastly, because I believe it’s important to let other dad’s know that they’re doing a great job…you’re a great father. Keep up the good works!

[@demacherius1]

Seth is right the only way to keep our hobbies alive is get the nex generations into it. Thats why so many riders at skateparks and trails are so nice to kids.

[@HuntersHunt]

My best friend and I have been watching your since you made your first bmx video back in Miami. It’s amazing to see what you’ve accomplished and how you’ve grown. It’s truly inspiring. Motivates me to make videos of my own.

[@colinswan786]

"thank you daddy" is all that is needed towards the end of this video. Absolutely brilliant and have fun with you little ones!

[@arr4ws]

im a volunteer at a local dirt pump track and your build is really inspiring! ive put almost 1000 hours in the past 6 years in it just so the kids can ride something locally.

[@coachcoombs]

"Thank you Daddy!" Makes everything worth it every time. Well done brother!

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

My pump track is named "snowblower" because it's what I have to do all winter long 😂 It's the greatest thing indeed, you're right Seth.

[@PeteOwen-l3u]

I'm always learning something from you. The attention to details with the occasional mishap or blooper. The best part...."Thank you, Daddy"! That makes it all worth it!

[@roo-dog3484]

Hey Seth - great video. A few years back we built a giant dock in the creek out back from our house. We drove 6x6's 4 feet into the creek bed. The best thing we found to protect our 6x6 stakes, instead of a post cap was to just screw a scrap piece onto the stake. When that piece inevitably split, we'd unscrew it and grab another. We even went as far as using yellow page books the same way that were randomly mailed to us when we were building. Give it a try! Works like a charm!

[@cccougars90]

By far one of my favorite videos, and I bet most dads will agree. Seeing and hearing how excited the little one got about the bridge is what makes this video awesome! Great work as always, Seth!

[@okayatbikes1909]

I love how stoked your daughter is to ride the new feature. I also love your understanding of how different textures and materials make trails more fun. ❤

[@chadbachelder7008]

Great video! The family bonds that this encourages is awesome!

[@lanemichaelmcconnell-hand1472]

I think the best part of this whole video is your kiddo coming out and riding with you and genuinely being excited. Her saying thank you, and riding with you is just so special. As a father of four, well past that young age, I appreciate that you spent the whole day making something for your kids to enjoy with you. Awesome awesome job. And yes, I appreciate that you keep your family private from the camera. You are a true family man.

[@cole-rw9io]

your videos inspired me to make my own trails and i have been working on them for three years.

[@GnarlyGroove]

This is great, Seth. I love to see all sorts of crazy stuff you build on Berm Peak. But this is special because it's relatable. A lot of people that own small flat backyards can look at this and be inspired, based on how much more "achievable" this looks.

[@alanslater2222]

Such an awesome Dad I see so many kids with there face in phone's and tablet devices here in UK .You can hear how happy your daughter is spending time with her dad and being outside .Awesome

[@michaelflower5872]

As a father of two, great job Seth, the time you spend with your kids will come back ten fold. Here in Oz, we are international and love our metric but refuse to let imperial go in carpentry. We still buy our lumber in lengths of 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.1m, 2.4 etc (or 4 ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8 ft etc), we still lay out our house construction with joists at 300mm, 450mm (1ft, 1ft6), the list goes on. I'm not sure if this video makes me laugh or cry, but either way, thanks for sharing.

[@immortalduffman]

Well done and great explanations for the how and why for this build update.

[@driftedkart2593]

[@bogdanvlad9165]

[@ShadLife]

What is important about this video is that it is important to build features for all types and skill levels of riders. By going the extra mile to make it appear to be more fun and cool for those riders is essential for the success and future of the sport. But the opposite needs to be available also, things riders can progress on. Great video and I love some of the points you made about the importance of this.

[@junka1975]

Honestly that just looks like fun to ride and I think is one of the smartest and coolest things anyone could have built Seth. So simple yet so effective.

Learnt (and still in process of learning) how to ride a bike last month at the ripe old age of 24. I've been watching vids on this channel since and they've been a big help! Thank you, I hope for a long time of moutain bike!

[@ryansantiago941]

For general construction purposes, Imperial is more precise than metric. 1” imperial can be divided into 1/64 increments 1” metric can only be divided into half mm segments and that would only get you increments of 1/51

[@williamreinhard]

This makes no sense. You can use tenths or hundredths of a millimeter if you want more precision. Plus, you can divide any measurement infinitely. Neither is inherently more precise.

[@ryansantiago941]

@@williamreinhard EVERYTHING can be split infinitely???? No way………. hey office guy, google what a standard tape measure looks like and you’d understand.

[@Kim_Miller]

That is a great track. When my son was 7 or 8 years old the council came and dumped ten or twelve dirt mounds in a park at the end of our street. They firmed it all down and the local kids very soon had it organised into a bump/jump track with their bmx bikes. Afternoons after school were a lot more fun after that. Kid sized tracks are the bomb.

[@Kuzgun_Kuskan]

[@kimbersal1]

Thanks for the video. It’s nice to see your process and “how the sausage is made”. Great work, Seth. Keep it up.

[@KDubber]

Wish I built a pump track for my kids when we had some property when they were younger. I do miss our BMX racing days when they were little, booting it around the track in the Strider class. The feels came flooding in hearing your daughter's giggles and "thank you daddy!" and "go daddy go!". My two fondest members of each daughter is one, when my youngest was on her Strider and I was helping her get over the big table tops at the track and she'd say "tank you tank you!" Another was of my eldest, she was 3 or so, I strapped the GoPro on her bars to see her face as she rode the track, going through the rhythm section.. "Ohhhhhh... butterfly!" Now they're teens and be damned if I can get them on bikes with me, let alone say anything to them without getting eyerolls back. Soak it all in Seth.. soak it all in.

It was cool seeing a little kid on dirt. We had a rock in our driveway I used to ride over I might have gotten six inches of air off of it but when I rode it I felt awesome. We had a downhill driveway and one time someone pushed my bike and it went into the road and hit a car. That is when the training wheels came off
