Building our Backyard Jump Roll-In!

We built a new BMX and MTB Jump Roll-In for a brand new medium size jump line in my backyard. These jumps will be bigger than the jump track ( pumptrack ) but smaller than my big dirt jumps. Learn about carpentry while also getting a how-to on building a roll in for jumps!
Subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss the rest of this build, it’s going to be an awesome line!

[@lynxg4641]

Way to teach your kids the work involved in making stuff like this and showing them valuable life skills they'll use throughout their lives - too many kids these days have no clue how to work with their hands, other than to use a phone or tablet. Can't wait to see the kids full jump line, bet it'll be super fun for them.

Despite only being fifteen years old, I have now spent over half my life without a father figure I always wanted to have someone to help me and teach me like you are doing with your kids. But I'm also grateful because I got to learn and experience so many things riding bikes. It is so amazing to see what you do, and your kids will grow up to be amazing riders like you are. Keep up the amazing content :)

[@meowman94]

Not only teaching your kids to ride and conquer their fears... But also valuable life skills in how to plan and build with hand tools

[@TREVONBACH]

I had a dad that was a politician. He was never home. If your kids dont appreciate what they have IN A FATHER in you i dunno what ... maybe my own jealousy at 43... just AWESOME and wow. Its incredible that you get to share your passion with your kids. And its fun to see their smiles running back up the ramp they built with their dad... mine would scream if i laughed while he was building... you make a point to laugh. Sorry, killer video. . . He says crying.

Good on you for involving your kids in the build process. That's what I've been doing on all our projects at home. Everytime they pitch in, reward them with a brand new quality tool, and slowly build them their tool box that will last a lifetime, along with the skills to use the tools.

I met Eric once and he seemed like a really kind and down to Earth individual, it was cool because I was a young grom and I had seen him in bike videos. I was trying to learn no-foot cans that day, and he kindly gave me feedback to try to raise the odds of me being able to do them. It's awesome to see him now, having evolved into a epic and unique father, with a son who seems like a really awesome soul! Your guys's backyard looks like a labor of love! This video was inspiring!
