I think this is the sickest build to date! Looks like you experimented with a few different attachment methods constructing it. Did you find a way that worked better than the rest? And that dog is awesome!

Do you have to contend with ticks and Lyme disease? It would be interesting to hear what measures you take to prevent tick borne illness.

[@BackyardTrailBuilds]

Yes, in fact Danna (my girlfriend) got rocky mountain spotted fever a little over a year ago and still deals with the aftermath of it. In June I was pulling off nearly 20 ticks every day 4 or 6 normally being bitten in. Cant do much beside spray yourself down with deet and hope for the best. It's pretty sketchy.

[@tmerrick24]

@@BackyardTrailBuilds Have you looked into spraying your clothing with Permethrin? I'm from Long Island and we have tick issues and I've found it works really well. Follow the instructions and keep it away from cats (only when wet) and good luck with keeping those nasty ticks away.

[@tom-coppola]

@@tmerrick24 great tip! Also from long island, I use permetherin all the time when playing disc golf.

[@samreynolds5694]

I've been riding a long time. I have to say watching you build features and ride them with such joy and enthusiasm makes me remember how I felt when I was new to the sport. It's truly refreshing and infectious. Keep up the great work! I have to get building some new singletrack! 👊

[@jadenr.11]

I’ve been looking for a bike rack for a while and now I’m getting one from uhaul after you said they have them

[@EricLancheres]

Wow your dog is FULLY committed to the jump, zero hesitation! (Good job on your jump too.) Your build is great!

[@reillys7981]

Just gotta take a moment to say a big fat thank you for productions these awesome high production value videos, I always get that little excitement inside whenever I see you’ve uploaded. The videos are great the music is great (particularly the songs you’ve made) and the dog is great too. You deserve every bit of 89,000 subscribers and a few million more! I hope to see more of this epic content soon!

[@elduran8686]

Watched your Bank Drop when it first dropped (my intro to BTB). But I'm always going back just to watch Endo sending it deep (9:55). That vid is priceless!! Brings out huge smiles!! U both have fans out here in San Diego, CA. Cheers!!

[@CarsonsMtb]

Finally we got a wooden feature on this trail

[@Mtc401]

That looks absolutely sick, also looked like a lotta work though. I think the shark fin is the best idea because the drop is banked and then you are already going in that direction and it would make for a sick section of two twisty features in a row. Also in my opinion it looks nicer if you have a dirt feature after a wooden one (no two wooden features in a row). But still either would be sick!!!

[@one_mtb]

Yeah yeah, good job for hitting it... BUT ENDO HOLY 🐄!

[@TimFromWales]

Dude you are smashing it... Seeing your riding and buidling skills grow each week is a real journey!

[@christieclaypool7667]

That dog got some air time! 😄 So fun. I vote you name that feature the Endo Drop. 🐕😊

[@taylornator7]

Great build! I would recommend putting some cross bars in an X pattern on some of those taller posts for stability and longevity!

[@mountaincruiser817]

I have never seen someone work so hard on YT. Props to you young sir. And great build as always.

[@mikewiginton7948]

[@shepardlivingston2371]

What a build! Your perseverance is incredible!

[@bradyostendorf3575]

I've only seen a few so far, but your vids are great and make me want to get into mountain biking! Also, math tip to save you some time with those perfect curves/arcs (5:30): if you want to find the spot for your shovel that will meet both posts, you can take two strings of equal length (the length of your arc's radius) and tie them to each post. Their ends should meet in the spot where your shovel should go. Hope that helps down the road👍

[@lukeallen5484]

SOOO CLOSE TO 100k my man, good job! Can’t wait to be here for it.

[@deltanovember2296]

When I was a kid I had a dog that was the spitting image of Endo. Great video, made my morning.

[@5amuelMusic]

Thanks your the best trail building youtuber I love the way that we can choose what you builds

[@lenneke_]

Even the music in the timelapses makes it so satisfying!!

[@crowm7324]

i respect you for all the work you put in this project

[@Alexbeauchesne1]

Nice one there! Love the doggo action shots! Maybe a quick riding tip for this drop ; Take a wider line on the wood and maintain the bike leaned over a little bit as you go over the edge of the drop. The bike, and your center of mass, should be perpendicular to the wood at the edge of the drop. This will feel much more "natural". Right now you cut the corner and straighten up as you hit the drop and that leaves you in an awkward position for landing, since this feature is basically a berm. You can adjust the landing to your preference once you're able to get a consistent arc around the whole feature. Also, keeping the lean will unlock the "scrub" for you. As you go over the edge, you "over-lean" the bike and over-steer the handlebars, making the bike feel lighter under you by crouching at the same time. As you hit the feature faster and faster, that scrub motion comes earlier and more aggressively, allowing you to avoid over shooting like Endo does. Cheers bud! -A fellow 20-something home trail features builder.

Sick Video! Looks like you have the perfect trail dog, dreaming of riding your trails! Good luck for the rest of the builds, looking forward to the videos to come. These videos are making me want to build some trails.

[@tylersecor4668]

I didn’t vote for this, but I am glad I was out votes! That thing is sweet. I’m very Impressed with the build, with all you notches and grooves. If you plan on chiseling more things I would get a round woodworms mallet. It’s bigger, so less missing the chisel and easier to control.

[@Realryancurry]

Since you read comments: I really enjoy your videos, and the bits with the dog, girl, and some of your funny personality are a nice bonus. And, I see it was so freek’n hot it even forced on a hair cut- nice 👍

I wait for Wednesday mornings just for you videos. You should collab with Skills With Phill. He just started his own backyard trail system.

[@christopherusher2233]

That’s awesome man!! Tbh I wouldn’t mind if u used that digger more often. That landing looked easy to make and certainly meant you could make it as large as you wanted. A nice double after that would be good. Even one bigger enough to pull out that digger again.

[@mtb_ryan]

Looks so good! And the pup was sending it!

Great stuff man!! For the string to shovel trick, save some time by tying a string to each post, measure the desired radius on each string, tie them together at that point and walk out from the posts till both strings are tight. Boom, there is your center point.

Happy birthday dude!!!

[@thomasamos4055]

Good skills. From a biodiversity perspective the dead wood - and the bugs- is really important. To manage the woodland for wildlife, leaving some dead wood and creating small clearings creates more interest for insects and allows other smaller plant species to flourish and regrow. It's a nice site, so you could find out from local ecology groups what kind of practices you should go for (and be careful you aren't digging up rare orchids etc.) Good luck.
