Building A Bike Jump With NO Screws or Power Tools

[@ARandomBoat]

Man, this style of building is insane

[@NatesRC]

Agreed

[@Jake-jx7hs]

And pointless

[@j.l.5966]

@@Jake-jx7hs it’s more of a novelty since only a handful of people have those woodworking & joinery skills. It’s like furniture built without power tools, glue, nails or screws. Have to admit, the end product is pretty impressive.

[@dessert0399]

@@Jake-jx7hs see it as a kind of art that never makes sense but is wonderful

[@ARandomBoat]

@@Jake-jx7hs not really pointless. The end result is a lot better for the environment as it was shown in the video, its also a lot sturdier. Yeah maybe not using power tools was pointless, but it brings us back to the older way of doing things, where more skill, precision, and closeness to the build was required. You also feel closer to the end result, after toiling over it for a long period of time, and its something that viewers enjoy seeing, so it brings up the views as well.

[@The_Manna]

One of the thing that's beautiful about you channel is the originality. Keep doing the woodworking stuff. It would be helpful as a fellow trail builder to see how wood features can be built on public lands that last a long time with little maintenance. I run in to this problem a lot with land managers.

Hey! Totally understand! And I almost always do this but our ladder wasnt long enough so we were having to juggle hugging the tree and cutting so getting to the underside was a reeeeal pain in the booty! I guess in hindsight we could have move the ladder, cut the notch, and moved it back but live and learn ay!

Who else wishes he put the bark on the outside of the jump to make it more aesthetically pleasing and therapeutically calming to fit into natures immense surrounding.... overall, great job and it is really hard to not just get a drill to make the desired hole.

I vote yes, more, please. I was amazed how all this stuff went together without power tools. And no dead tree! I often thought trail builders should plant as many trees as they cut down. In fact if you choose fruit and nut trees, and plant them along the trail then years later riders can enjoy natural snacks as they ride by!
