Building and Riding a BIKE PARK sized Whale Tail for MTB! // Moby's Deck Build - Part 2

This week we get to finish building Moby's Deck! This is one HUGE project and took two weeks to build! It's also HOT outside while we build this thing, so that's a huge bonus. We'll be finishing up the landing, topping the deck with some dirt, setting our ramp in place, and trying this fun feature out!

The size is perfect, having a bike park sized feature compared to a downsized one allows for my variety on riding it.

[@mtbarkansas2102]

Nice one, this build is super impressive!

[@bahahahahe8171]

I've never seen a KZbinr build a whale tail as big as this one!

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

I have never mountain biked before, but I honestly prefer Seth's over at Berm Peak. His, to me, appears much more fun and snappy, making it look cooler when it is ridden. This one, again in my opinion, doesn't have much whale tail about it. Like I said, I am not a mountain biker so I don't even really know what makes a whale tail a whale tail, but this just seems a little underwhelming for its size. I would expect a snap down and launch up and off from such a feature.

[@TheShredist]

Cant please them all 🤷‍♂️

[@j.l.5966]

Well Seth’s works for his course, which is narrow and fast. But hitting it feels like it’s over in a split second. This one is a whale tail but for a different course and opens up different applications. The feature and landing are big, wide and forgiving for pulling off bigger stuff. The dirt surface is a nice touch for tire traction. Moving the take off back or eventually having a steep lippy alternate one you can get huge air time and practice moves like no handers, no footers, tables, bar spins, etc. backflips too if you’re Red Bull Rampage level. Looking forward to seeing more of this whale tail in future videos.

Great setup, love it, now to open up the gap for jumping onto Moby's Deck an additional 2 metres and push back the landing when jumping off respectively. Keep up the awesome work 👌

[@CarrotCannon]

so sick dude!

[@HypnoToad248]

Great build! But i couldnt help but think you could of put the landing a bit further back?

[@shanedownhill]

cool stunt

[@t406barnacle6]

Really well built!! This is my favorite thing you’ve built by far. Question, do you live near Missoula Montana?

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

Take off is to talland to close. The landing could be made of dirt and it is to close to the wale, you are over shooting it. Smaller poppy take off and earthen landing then it will be nice.

[@lukedepriest3606]

Hi, I was wondering, what you would rather ride, Schweitzer or Silver mountain?

[@liamisafireplace]

Any concerns about the dirt washing off with time and rainfall?

Will the landing not be really slippery if it is even slightly wet?

Would you have been happier with 2x6s?

Hello bro.. thank you so much for your video.. i learn a lot of building drop ang trail from you and the other trail builders.. keep it up bro im always waiting for your upload.. Please support small channel also.. thank you so much..

[@streetrider11]

I think you built that landing way too close. I know you don't want to build scary stuff, but on day one you're already pretty much jumping to flat. By next year you'll have to tear that landing out and move it further, especially as you pull the lip back or add a second lip.

[@kolbeinanderson9821]

i thought it was funny that dirt was dry where i live in utah its dsuper dry its not fun to build jumps

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

Also the landing for the boner log is too close as well and over shooting the landing. It could be made of earth as well then it will be pretty. Overall your work and skills are great and it impresses the eifey alot😘😉🥳

[@bagel8383]

When you live in Florida and hear people complain about heat😒

[@THEholmeat873]

Facts And then it starts pouring

[@bagel8383]

Lol, and then people say the rain will cool it off, but then it just gets hotter

[@Bjjmtb]

I’d say you’ve outdone yourself, but the other stuff you built is so sick that I guess you’ve just done yourself. 🙌

[@nosreuter]

Haha, totally agree with this!

[@tonyjofenig6833]

You should look into getting a water storage tank that you can fill with captured rain water, this can be used on the jumps and garden/grass. That way, you can keep your well water for drinking and other purposes.

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

Certain places have ridiculous regulations against collecting rain water, but if said regulations allow, or if he doesn't get caught, that would be a great idea. I'm rather new to the channel, though, so I am not sure where he is located.

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

And a gravity misting system!

[@tonyjofenig6833]

@@anonymousaccordionist3326 That might be the craziest thing I have ever heard. It must be where the Pepsi and Coke companies control the water, so they can collect natural water that fallls from the sky, then sell it to you at $3 for 300ml. Just put barrels at the bottom of your gutter downspouts, transfer that water into a larger holding tank, to be re-used for gardens/grass, car washing, etc... If somebody tells you cant do that, then claim GOD told you to do it, that always scares the ignorant, and nobody else can claim that they own water that fell from GODS sky to be collected from your gutters. FUCK ME. I can't believe I had to explain this, everywhere I know of, encourages this practice, to reduce water consumption/waste. FUCK'N American exceptionalism, is exceptionally FUCK'N stupid.

Super sweet trail, and that whale tale has so much potential for alternative lines..great job..

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

Thanks for not doing the Flashdance scene for Mrs Shredist. As a builder of 40+ years watching your shenanigans, I'm both high-fiving you and also - HAAAA!! Some of your challenges give me giggles. Part of me is like, OK it's not that long of a drive - just go help a brother out. But more of me is all - no.... wait....this could be amusing.... HA!! But that's a dope, well-built feature man. This trail is developing a Rube Goldbergian personality. We're all jealous. Now do a corkscrew loop.

[@Drunken_Sailor1]

Wow... And you really should to the second ramp for sure Edit: thanks for the heart😊...

Your builds are just some of the most creative it there.. Really thinking outside of the box and making do with what you have at the same time. I mean, a skinnie with a FLOATING rockgarden!?! a height adjustable drop!?! and now a bike park sized DIRT COVERED whale tail 🐳 The Shredist, YOUR ON FIRE my bikingbrother 💥🌋🔥

[@HachiKunRacingDevelopmemt]

You should build a big ole 75/90 degree hip in between moby deck and the crank plank. Something completely dirt, to mix it up so you have like alternating dirt/wood features!
