Building Berm Park Ep 1 (Breaking Ground & Making History)

[@joshuawilliam7010]

Seth went from a dude with one mountain bike in his garden starting a KZbin channel to literally helming the build of an entirely new bike park. what a hero!

[@davidcondolora7473]

Honestly, I find this completely inspiring as well. Seth has approached his life like mountain biking-with progression, working hard and building to bigger and bigger things, and always looking to make a positive impact.

[@VOID-lg3os]

I've never been mountain biking in my life, and yet there's something about these videos and this channel that I love.

[@calebdworczyk979]

He was the one that got me into it. I got my first bike a month ago and can't stop riding. If your into it, chase your dreams. There is no other feeling in the world like riding your own bike!

[@weedshoes5089]

@@DinnerForkTongue Important distinction. I suppose it depends on which metrics you would base your assessment of "greatest".

[@rustyshackleford7563]

@@weedshoes5089 My metrics for greatest aren't dependent on skill it's dependent on character. Seth has been able to connect with millions of people who mountain bike and get many more into it because of his exceptionally well made content that's approachable and fun to watch for everyone. He's given kids new bikes and helped found a public bike park, I could careless if he won every Redbull Rampage every UCI world cup or Sea Otter he just rides his damn bike and helps his local mountain biking community in profound positive ways. That my friend is true greatness.

[@horizon9108]

@@adamgaisser1875 It really shows the difference in how people make their trails, I think the handmade way is cooler, but for one trail it works, on the contrary for an entire trail system machinery is better

Hey Seth. I'm really happy for you. You get to enjoy a dream. KZbin has afforded you a chance of your dream. Thank you to every sponsor as well. Since " covid " I've had to sell all my mountain bikes. So your joy brings me joy. Watching your videos I still get the feel of being on a bike. Keep up the great work. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!

I felt sad when I read this, MTB has literally stopped me from going insane during these times. I truly hope you are able to find a bike a get back out there. Stay safe.

[@johnlove4390]

At the time I sold my bikes I was more concerned about taking care of my family. The money from them kept a roof over their head and food in their stomach. I might not be able to get a new bike ever again. But even a big box bike can get you on 2 wheels again.

[@MTBradley]

That's rough. So many people where impacted during covid. I wish the best for you and your family. My family and I were effected, but I was still able to ride my mountain bike. I know that was a privilege as so many people didn't have that luxury.

As a former Resident Engineer on very large scale environmental remediation projects, I have a professional suggestion: On your finished trails with all of their final adjustments made, you should add a spray on fixative to lock the soil in place and provide much better resistance to trail wear and erosion. There are several commercially available products, each water based and approved by the EPA for use (but check with your state's ecology department). Here's a list of fixatives I've used in the past, in order of preference: Midwest Soil Sement, AgriGator Terra-Bond, Polo Dust Con, Duru Soil, and D&D Emulsions Dust Bond.
