Instead of mountain biking we rode a picnic table

Picnic tables are extremely fun to ride on a mountain bike, and today we'll prove it. This is also a good benchmark as I try to get back into shape. A recent injury followed by immediate dadhood has turned me into a marshmallow, and bunnyhopping on to a picnic table with my mountain bike is a goal in getting back on track.

I don't think the person who built the first picnic table knew how revolutionary their invention was

[@emma-eventing]

lol with bike shenanigans this sketchy i'm honestly kinda amazed you were there for the action too!

[@KptnHaddock_]

or they would've called it a thicc tricc table

[@Create_o_raptor]

Imagine how the first guy who made a bike is feeling right about now..

[@dylan-5287]

All I remember is the dude had a sick mustache.

[@KptnHaddock_]

@@Create_o_raptor Imagine going down A-Line on a high wheeler

[@miguela.8929]

Seth: I’ve declined physically Also Seth: does a hand stand on the picnic table

[@ivanjankovic5917]

I was like holy shit how can he even do that

[@jackdelp457]

Yeah that was the most surprising part of the whole video wtf

[@gamingpredator4226]

Yeah the fact he considers this a low for himself, yet he is still in better shape then ive ever been

[@sm-qw9mj]

The push up to the handstand was easily the most impressive part of the video.

[@KptnHaddock_]

Seriously, continuity Seth!

[@PauliG]

This is reminiscent of the “Sicknick Table” at Berm Creek! You should make it a feature for the good ol’ days! Who wouldn’t want to picnic at Berm Peak? And when you aren’t eating on it, you can shred it.

[@davidcampos8795]

So many people got hurt on that feature

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

That feature was super gnarly and messed up a bunch of people though

[@TruettD]

That’s all I could think about when I saw the title

[@PauliG]

@@davidcampos8795 Surely they could make some adjustments. As I recall, both the entrance and exit were tough.

[@KM-ew5rl]

@@PauliG This. It was so gnarly with no good lead-up. It was "either you have it or dont" which is a Seth staple but why we enjoy and support him (not to see people get hurt, to be clear).

[@gabrieldelagente1028]

Im not even surprised anymore, seth can post "i rode down a waterfall" and itll be like a normal day in his channel 😂

[@kennynewell85]

Yes! I don’t even ride mountain bikes but I absolutely love this channel. Both actually.

[@osebergmarkus]

HAHAHA

[@lincolnpatchett7364]

That’s fax

[@lucid5183]

Seth: "I did a backflip over the moon"

[@TedonTwo]

So you're saying it was something different... but kinda the same? 😁

[@1111Overland]

After seeing a couple of those crashes I am confident we need a “Berm Peak Fails” video. All the wrecks, the crashes, the blood and the tears. The audience has spoken… who’s with me?

[@haydenberndt4835]

It's an Aye from me. Not even necessarily a channel, a thrills and spills video would be awesome.

[@ericduch5087]

I was expecting the Air Conditioner to get taken out at some point. Maybe it didn't make the final cut.

[@callan.Rex7567]

Ok but Seth handstand walking across the picnic table was very, very impressive!!

[@WINMTB]

Normal people at 36 years old: a few sports, golf, eating on a picnic table, starting to slow down Seth: JuMpNiG OnTo a PiCiNiC tAbLe Then proceeds to walk on his hands across the table, and says he is physically declined

[@ChristianDeHadleigh]

That seems more like normal people at 66 years old

[@WINMTB]

@@ChristianDeHadleigh ya o guess I kinda exaggerated

[@WINMTB]

@@ChristianDeHadleigh depends on the 36 year old

[@RealMTBAddict]

Ok, so what is "normal?" Being lazy and working in an office? Either you're a lazy 36 year old or a 16 year old who thinks 36 is elderly. Seth has gotten fat, did you not see his belly? I think he knows his own body better than you know his body.

[@WINMTB]

@@RealMTBAddict I exaggerated to get a point across, my point is that Seth is not your average youtuber, he is fun, reasonable, active, and entertaining. I know full well not everyone is lazy. Sorry not sorry if I offended you

[@polynomialx]

Seth is back at it again! The god of sketchiness is back. Btw never knew that Seth could do a handstand, kinda surprised me. 🤣

[@cqlvm]

i’m not surprised at all. mr bike hacks is a man of all talents

[@SmoothDrew]

That hand stand threw me off so bad XD

[@horusgarcia1]

He should add this to all his videos as an icon. It will definitely click bait me immediately.

[@vale.antoni]

"What else can we do here without dying?" Has to be the thought that kept this channel going up and beyond all these years.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Picnic tables are one of the best things to practice on. So manny possibilities. It’s awesome to see Joe on the channel too!

[@caleb5882]

“manny” + 7:50 = I see what you did there…

[@topspot4834]

0:46 take notes boys and girls. So many creators hide their faults and try making their lives and their bodies picture perfect. A huge reason Seth is so successful is cause he's relatable. Be you. Don't be afraid to share your insecurities cause that's what people relate to. I don't care how perfect people pretend to be. Everyone has insecurities and when you share it you're showing that you're human.

[@drumsxo]

The most impressive part of this video (and there are A LOT of impressive aspects to it), is that Seth actually stopped before he got injured, lol. Your self-control is improving!

[@ivanjankovic5917]

Imagine seths kid seeing this after 30 years being like: "holy shit dad thats you?"

[@Alex-xt9hn]

you would hope that the kid is better at riding than his father wouldn't you?

[@ivanjankovic5917]

@@Alex-xt9hn yesn't

[@wootsman]

I just wanna say you guys do a great job of making this channel entertaining to watch. I just ride road bikes and I still watch this channel. Thanks again!

[@britishgecko8502]

Honestly amazes me the skill you all have. I've just started mountain biking and I can't even hop over a speed bump consistently 😬👍 these videos both motivate and demotivate me 😂

[@HunteroftheNorth]

I remember when he first moved here, Seth mentioned that Mrs. Berm peak didn't want any MTB riding in the yard... I guess that's not a worry anymore

[@e_Dak]

It has been a while since I've been legitimately concerned for Seth's safety in a video... and this video pushed the absolute BOUNDS of my comfort lmao. TWICE almost going otb on the picnic table manual...

[@bobbravo_82]

the attempt on Porters deck!! I can watch that on repeat all day! LOL!! That also looked very painful...

[@TheGermanDude]

I thought you were gonna put wheels on the picnic table, we need to see this now! Riding a table down berm peak!

[@KM-ew5rl]

Without knowing better, Kevin is one of those dudes that if he said to me that he could do a backflip, I'd totally not think anything of it. Seriously. He's a national treasure and I enjoy watching him push his limits and be candid. Fun fact: I'm making my return to BMX after a 15 year hiatus on MTB and I'm really pumped.

[@FoCoFlowShow]

Picnic table FTW! Bring it back from back yard trail days

[@horusgarcia1]

I like how he stares at death without a problem. What a champ! This is the spirit of his channel.

[@yuriabmxr]

This is exactly the kind of content that brought me to the channel in the first place years ago. So relatable and so much fun!

[@joethebikemechanic7697]

I'm glad that you're doing more of just having fun than what you are planning stuff because this is the content that I originally started watching you for

[@post-mastersodium3136]

I love how half of seth's videos are "I bought something, let's see if we can destroy it using it for unintended purposes"

[@slouch9790]

Who would’ve thought Seth could do a handstand? 😂

[@bikedudeog9129]

Sure as hell not me

[@RealMTBAddict]

With that 5'5' height and 180lbs weight? Not me.

[@slimey2460]

Bruh I just woke up time to start the day right with a new Seth video!

[@davidbenfield7983]

Love seeing these guys ride, way above my pay grade , but gives me somthing to look forward to.

[@goodtimesslim3387]

DUDE, portable pucker pad for the drive way gap! That'd look hella legit on video. Especially a manny bar spin out

Return of the sicknic table

I was sitting in my bed, dead with covid, and then this came up! love your videos seth, they make my day.

Seth do a bike hacks video next ! love them :D

[@coreystrong4384]

I have spent the last 18 months of a bike since my last frame broke. Also had a neck injury in January which resulted in spinal surgery in September. I truly understand what you are saying about loosing fitness and technique. Your doing very well, so keep it up

[@lancedwaynedavid4196]

Let's appreciate the moment that seth did a handstand

[@BVDsGoneFishing]

Anyone else not own a MTB but still watch Berm Peak videos?

"You can take a street rider out of the street, but you can't get the street out of the street rider." - Seth 2021, truest quote ever

[@sean0611]

this takes me back to the time you built the sicknick table, maybe you should incorporate this new table somewhere too haha

[@adriansmith7736]

Such a relatable, genuine vid. Had me laughing out loud. 5 stars.

[@senditworldwide9473]

Finally!!! A riding video!!! Also impressed that Seth can’t do a walking hand stand on a picnic table then land it… is that just me???

[@jambi49]

Good to see the "sketchening" come back :D Video idea: updated Berm Peak "how to mtb vol.2" - to show your mtb workount & pracktice routine, and progression on the way?

[@The_RC_Dude]

Seth doing what he does best...making great videos and doing sketchy stuff! This reminds me of the younger Seth, man, we have came so far!

[@kanebarrett9810]

seth is so much better than i thought lol he just handstand walked the whole table

[@jonathanizaballer8258]

This reminds me of berm creek Good ol’ sicknic table

[@harrygreen4220]

I have a "bike hack" for a future video If you have a swiss army knife, the hook that is usually seen as a tool without many uses, can be used as an emergency spoke wrench. hooking the tool around a spoke nipple, it can be easily turned.

[@conniepiercy468]

Seth I absolutely love it when u make street videos, it brings my back to ur old videos I love so much

[@ColinMcEvoy]

Seth: “I’ve declined physically over the past 2 years” I feel that on a spiritual and physical level

[@trailkatt2859]

Man when I saw this thumbnail I got berm Creek sick-nic table flash backs because that the thing was crazy!

[@MarcusNesbitt4]

So good to see the DJ bike back out. I also thought this was the return of the sicnic table, ahh well itll come.

[@everbloom6660]

It's always a good day when Seth uploads!

[@KeithLeva]

Most people actually calm down after having a baby and don't do risky things, thanks Seth for going against the grain

[@JohnsTrainVideos]

I do a weekly urban ride that is more of a suburban ride that includes a lot of industrial areas. My fav thing to do is lean a wooden palate against a picnic cable to make a really steep roll up to to the table, then leaping off the other side. Pretty big drop to flat. And if you can put it on the edge of a slope, it's even better!

[@niekversteege]

The editing on this is top notch. The montage before the first trailbike fail, hahaha.

[@steveo8424]

Old school Seth! Love this. Way better than watching scraping dirt.

[@everythingoutdoors5569]

Awesome video as always ❤️

[@NateFastBikes]

Your videos are without a doubt the highlight of my sunday morning

[@ShieldRetro]

2:01 yeah that’s the best description for what could happen there

[@ian.thompson]

Bunny hopping onto the table is one thing, but walking across it on your hands takes it to a whole new level!

[@InappropriateJoke]

This is why we love you seth

[@harrisonpicken5001]

You are actually in amazing shape considering the dad bod. Absolute unit 💪

[@bmanferlife]

Please take your time getting back in the game bud. I’d rather you come back slowly with better health then to rush it for us and get hurt. Love the vids, stay safe 🤘🏿💙

[@SigurdFlaatten]

Hahah ok, for a second I figured "ah, Seth is mortal and maybe we're in similar shape and I, too, can jump a picnic table" - then I see him do a handstand and walk on his hands over it and I realize that no, no, I can't ever do that,

[@victorgillenwater2450]

Legit every vid is soo epic

[@matteohardwick1499]

When you took the picnic into the garden to try and manual it. That was me when I first started trying to hit drops, still not very good at it but I used to mountain bike when I was about 10 and I've had 3 years off and I've got a new bike, and I've been riding again for about 3 months getting pretty good actually and spending thousands 😂

[@ManuelRodriguez001]

I mean if you’re out of shape what’s left for the rest of us who have riding this whole time 😂😂😂 great video Seth, keep it up🤘

[@NateFastBikes]

Was not expecting that handstand 😂😂

[@DarkSwordRagnarok]

For a second I was expecting this to turn into a Sam Pilgrim episode and you were gonna turn the picnic table INTO a bike to ride 😆

[@mattlukasik2486]

Seth I need some trail reviews man. I’m hankering for your travel videos, just go to a near by state park and review please.

[@genisis53]

That was awesome! Good luck with the new skill of stopping before getting hurt

I love picnic table riding dude, I have been riding a 20" bmx best thing to feeble on

[@reezone2310]

I almost never bunny hop again after watching jeff lenoskys video on how to pedal hop n punch the front wheel at the edge of the picnic table. Less speed needed n applicable in short distance. Bunny hop requires lots of energy n high speed. Im in my 40s so pedal hop suits me!

[@ntnsosoe6634]

i’ve always rode bmx, but some of my worst slams were on to/off of a picnic table

1 things get weird in the mid thirties. Careful per health. 2 gotta be real. THANK YOU been some time and in a few views, I accumulated tools and skills learned for confidence in the shop. Never rode on a mountain. One day I will nomad to visit beautiful Sedona. Per Kevin, [that corn fed bro...] your skills with earth have greatly improved the watching experience. Thank you. Thank you for letting me ride with you on a weekly basis and be careful out there.
