Building and Riding the NEW Snake Pit! Bigger jump & sketchier B-line

Snake Pit is one of Berm Peak's most iconic features, but it's beginning to rot away. Today we'll dismantle the rotted section of Snake Pit and build a new feature in its place.

Dude! Thank you so much for the opportunity to see this in person and letting us hit it. Scary fun!

[@SethsBikeHacks]

You guys were great guests, and it's always great when I don't need to hit something alone!

lucky you got to go their i have alsoys wanted to

@@brent14787 definitely appreciated the opportunity and had a ton of fun! Seth’s a great host and a fun guy to be around. Plus he built some very entertaining features.

10:45 Fun fact: I'm 90% sure the insect shown here is not a bee or a wasp, but rather a hoverfly. Hoverflies are a group of true flies that have evolved to disguise themselves as other species that have a defensive sting, despite not having any venom themselves. In the field of ecology, this is referred to as _Batesian mimicry._

[@guitarlessonsnow3431]

@@repentandbelieveinjesuschr9495 ok but what does that have to do with mtb trail building?

[@losjankoscustoms153]

I feel like I’ve grown up with Seth, I remember waiting for a video every week just to watch him dig up his back yard with shovels. he’s come such a long way, makes me feel like a proud dad

[@cornboi6453]

We've been here a long time and I love it

[@truckstreestoys]

I've had really good luck with Penofin wood sealer to keep my north shore from rotting. It's a Brazilian rosewood oil that soaks in to the wood and provides pest, rot, and UV protection. It also does not make your wood slippery like other wood sealers do.

[@topoftherockmountainbiking3917]

When it’s already sketchy and take some days to counter. Then Seth goes, let’s make it about 100 times more sketch

[@fearlessfearless15]

I love you're trail building videos, Keep up that great work The new Line is awesome and much more sketchy, but you've done it perfect

[@johnathanmintz8928]

i have never done any kind of mountain biking, but ive watched through almost all your videos in the past 3 weeks lol. thanks for the motivation to get out and just have some fun! I am now looking into my own bike to get myself started on some local trails! Appreciate you man!

[@kellythue]

Between having his own biking place a huge bike trail a KZbin channel and being a genuine at making machines he is crazy talented keep up the good work! Love the content

[@FreeTimeFeats]

Hello! Happy to be here when it said 1 view!

[@williamchurchill3174]

I think this is the first feature that has been replaced on the whole of Berm Peak, but maybe the Airbag jump thou. I personally believe the A line is much less sketch, as you come down and can easily see it before you like a ski jump, but the B line is probably even more sketchy. Great build and video Seth!

[@lachlanokeefe8020]

Always excited to see these feature build videos. Thanks for making them!

[@ryanmeekins2134]

Hey Seth I recently just broke my collar bone and won't be able to ride for 3 months. The only way I'm maintaining my sanity is by watching all of your videos. Just wanted to thank you for them.

[@afhpenney2066]

get well soon!

[@YanDoroshenko]

Yo dude. Start doing something (not stupid) with it as soon as possible. I've cradled mine for way too long after the surgery and basically missed an entire year of riding. And no, it will never feel the same, you've fucked up, now deal with it.

[@johnrobertson7621]

I'm 90% sure mine is still broken from over a year ago. Last X ray I got it was not healed, and I'm not sure it will EVER fully heal. My doctor talked me out of surgery for it and I think that was a mistake. Either way, I started riding again about 7 months or so after. I haven't had any pain from riding, but have noticed pain from writing or using tools, anything where I extend my arm out from the shoulder unsupported for long periods of time. Take vitamins and supplements for bone health, it could help you heal up better.

[@YanDoroshenko]

@@johnrobertson7621 They tried to talk me out too, but fortunately a couple of guys showed me how their fractures turned out without the surgery and I went through two X-rays the same day I crashed and the difference was so blatantly obvious that I insisted on the surgery even though I wanted to avoid it if at all possible.

[@johnrobertson7621]

@@YanDoroshenko Yeah my Xrays were gnarly too. collar bone was basically in 3 pieces, a 'shard' had broken so my bone needs to heal from two directions. surgery would have been 100% better I think. I also broke 3 ribs and I think they were concerned with that adding risk. Especially since covid would have likely been very hard on me until my ribs had healed.

[@creativespace8637]

Oscar is TOTALLY a trail dog! I’d love to see a video about that…

[@Wrighty97]

Seth Seth Seth, you are nuts! Can't wait to see what other creations you come up with this summer.

[@simonhinks1975]

It is so sad to see an old feature go, but it is great to have something new 😁

[@pnwexplorer1122]

Couldn't be more stoked to see more building on Berm Peak. The Series is what got me to subscribe in the first place so please, more building!

[@zekeisme1]

I cant imagine the amount of work it took to do all this, on top of placing the cameras all the time. nice job

[@thefrankmoose]

I don't trail bike, I barely even ride my hybrid bike around the city... I never miss an episode. I love everything on this channel

[@innoxiumae1232]

Watching Seth work on these projects brings me back to the old “This Old House” days with Bob Vila; there is something about starting and finishing a project with tools and grit-it feeds a man’s soul.

[@nitanshkinger4465]

I verbally cannot explain how happy I am seeing these style building videos back :)

[@WestCoastMountainBiker]

This was a cool build to witness. I appreciate the actual sweat that went into this creation. Well done with all the planning that went into the build as well as the B-line addition.

[@chriswatt6835]

this video came exactly when I needed it, and I'm always eager to see the weekly video from Berm Peak. Keep up the good work Seth, love seeing all the cool stuff you do.

[@fuckfaceunstoppable4052]

12:12 that was so wholesome to hold seths dog and let him run only after he cleared the jump

[@TheLoamWolf]

Haha thank you. We’ve owned a couple frenchies of our own and know they’re a bit crazy and unpredictable. Couldn’t risk anyone getting hurt! But he sure wanted to chase down his dad as soon as he landed.

[@philliptrzcinski5243]

Some gorgeous shots of you working on the line here, really appreciated it.

Really happy to see you out doin trail stuff again. I bet it felt great to get away from being a dad for a bit to go play in the trails for a while. great video.

[@sf1tzp]

KZbin recommended me the snake pit build video during the middle of covid and I’ve been watching ever since. A while later, just over a year ago, I finally purchased a bike and started riding again. I’ve put over 500miles on it since - still can’t hit anything near as sketchy as snake pit, but maybe someday. Thanks for introducing me to this sport Seth, and it’s very cool to see the revitalization of this Berm Peak classic!

[@timberknuckle8281]

Ahhh yes. Back to the Peak time. Love your content. Your OG backyard trail was the inspiration to kick off my own build.

[@cameronrogowski4794]

Hey Seth, you should show us and go over all of your bikes in your collection That’d be awesome man thanks 👍

[@kromz4202]

[@leonardhaworth5632]

So happy to see the builds coming back

[@jameswilson8169]

I was literally looking up which brand of power tools to go with this morning and this video answered that question. After watching your tools continue to work after that rain and knowing all of the screws you've had to drill in and out I'm pretty sold on Dewalt.

[@parkarrman7634]

That´s just a piece of art! Thanks for all your inspired videos!

[@jgunnink3]

All I can say is wow. Don't know if I'm more impressed with you riding skills or your carpentry skills. At this point I'm leaning toward carpentry.

[@TheLoamWolf]

It was impressively built and everything up there is super stable…. Sketchy AF, but stable. 😂

best video for a long time! Awesome, love the storytelling! and its jazz again with Seth, like in the old days

[@jonathangauthier3549]

Hey Seth, I want to give you my props for maintaining your trail like a good trail manager should. I'm from Quebec, Canada, and a lot of our free trails are a poorly maintained, hodgepodge of hastily built jumps, bridges and berms that were thrown together by people decades ago a simply left to rot. I don't know how many times I have fallen into a ditch or bit into a wooden lip because the wood had rotten away to loam and humice. Every time I would blindly attack a new run, I would eat it hard and limp away absolutely embarrassed by my lack of forethought and inspections, angry at the original builders for letting it get so bad and devastated that I broke yet another bone or bike part. What I'm trying to say is that your efforts are greatly appreciated. They save face, bones, egos, and bank accounts. Thanks for being awesome!

[@andygrace3825]

madness, genius and sketchiness in equal measure, awesome building and riding skills

[@SuperGamingeek]

Nice video! Brings back the old nostalgic pre-Berm peak style videos you used to make. And the classic seth music at 8:49 lol

[@Thisismeaningless619]

I must admit, I was hesitant to say goodbye to the original snake pit, just as I was hesitant to say goodbye to the drop on berm creek, or the sketchiest wallride to ever exist. But you continue to shred, and kill it! I guess I should know by now that everything will become a little bit different, but kind of the same.
