Building a “pecker log" jump and a new berm!

If you visit mountain bike parks, you know what the big version of this is called. Here, we'll go with pecker log. This weekend I only had about a day and a half to knock out a build, so I hope you still find it interesting! Enjoy

The wacker is one of the machines that frustrated me the most while learning how to use it! The soil needs to be almost dry at the top for it to work at its best! Keep the good work up Seth!! Cheers from Chile!!

[@rainerunsinn4808]

As a geoengineer, I can tell you that this is not correct. Dry soil packs the worst, but overly wet soil sucks just the same. There is an optimal amount of water to every soil , called the "proctor density". I think you have clay at your place, just like seth has. The wacker is desinged to be used for sand & gravel and will (obviously) make a mess on clay. You will need a sheepsfoot roller to compact clay, these sheepsfoot are also available for wackers.

[@antoniothenatural]

5:00 That stuff is most likely Stonedust, used alot here in the NE where the soil is sandy and tends to shift over time. Traditionally you lay this before a foundation and lightly wet it, then tamp it, and it will settle and harden almost like concrete.

Seth, I’ve been subscribed to your channel from almost the very start and have watch how much you progressed. You used to be very cautious but now you shred. You have also inspired me to build trails in my backyard and have helped me learn how to built some of the stuff. Right now I’m starting to work with wood more and am going to try to build a wood launch ramp. Well I just want to say thank you for your time and effort into your channel.

This is kind of funny because it has nothing to do with mountain biking, but watching you tear up berm peak with that tiller inspired me to attack a section of my yard where a weird dirt hill has sat for YEARS. So thank you for getting me up out of my chair to do random gardening, even though that has next to nothing to do with your primary topics.

Seth, I'm stoked to see all of your videos dating back 5 years! Growing up, I lived in Lakeland, FL with Carter Road Park, Alafia and Santos bike trails never far away! Wish I found you back when you started, I have been to Markham Park, but never knew about Virginia Key. From 2000-2004 we road the TOE in Lakeland, those trails were absolutely sick, and it's too bad you never had a chance to ride it, as the land closed in 2006.

Once a week just isn’t enough, love these videos.

Nobody could make these videos better than you. Great job and in the concrete flatwork industry, we call that mixture from the home building process “screenings” and yes it’s great to use for a mud packer barrier

[@johnpossum556]

The way to get that jump to sit securely is to fit it in there. To fit it in there you use a pair of calipers/dividers and draw/scribe a line with them holding upright the whole time. Then you remove the wood up to the line from the bottom log. This is mountain man style to how you'd build a log cabin with nice, tightly fitted joints. Great vids Seth!

Today I found my self at a local bike shop talking to an employee about components on a bike that I definitely did not know a month ago. I want to thank you for this channel and for showing me back to the trail. I walked out of that bike shop with a smile and a new mountain bike. Thanks Seth
