MY COMPOUND IS INCREDIBLE AFTER BUILDING THE MEGA MULCH KICKER RAMP!!

[@lukemtb6800]

You could paint the wood and cover it with sand to give it the grip

[@eartharrow6772]

Definitely an underated technique but often better to mix glue the sand and paint over

[@sandy_knight]

@@eartharrow6772 The pricier option is spray on bed liner paint.

[@AE31011]

Nice build Tom, good job. But at 9:22 "will it stay grippy when it is dry?" But like one other said, chicken wire will work perfectly when it is wet.

[@Duncan23]

Unless that ground has been purposfully compacted that flooring is going to sink/shift. Your best option would be to dig the legs into the floor and post-mix them into place (even then it will probably still move a bit). It will be a time consuming process but the lifespan of the floor will be substantially longer.

[@eartharrow6772]

I totally agree with the resources that will end up rotten I think laying pallets that you filled the gaps would have be better

[@MrZoo223]

Good call. Mud sills would work too :)

[@BigSmartQuiz]

Not necessarily, if the ground has been like that for at least a year, it won't be sinking much more, if any.

[@MrZoo223]

Really nice craftsmanship. Can't tell you how satisfying it is to see treated wood being used, and a level, aaaand a chalkline! Dreams!

[@everyhandletaken]

To the skyyyyyyyy!

[@denesk2794]

A dense wire works great on wooden planks like that. All wooden features have to be covered here in Costa Rica, else it is like black ice 2 weeks into the rainy season. 1-2 layers of chicken wire (the small hole kind) works great. We have a lot of small bridges like that in bike parks and they are all covered with wire, else it becomes completely useless...

[@travisihm9854]

I feel like due to the location and the “runway” looking Chanel through the trees if you put a wind sock up on the back of the roll in

[@everyhandletaken]

Nice idea 💡 You can then know what it is like, before you bother heading up. Dreams!

[@nathandavies327]

I reckon a stairs and ramp on the side would be better than climbing the roll in. But this is epic! Looking forward to the next one

[@everyhandletaken]

I think if it were me, I would have a ladder, with a simple rope & pulley type arrangement for hoisting the bike up… but, then it is probably slower than walking the ramp with the bike 🤷‍♂️ Maybe an electronic elevator cage 🤔

[@chrisbrownbikes2856]

Nice to see a more down to earth build on KZbin. A dream that might actually be possible to achieve for some people not like some of the wealthier youtubers

[@jeremyharris4415]

Looks fantastic but yes I would probably be of the safe side paint it and put sand on it . Or some old carpet better than having a accident on it. And also a other opinion is putting some proper steps on it to get up

[@everyhandletaken]

Yeah, the carpet would hold water, but as a feels people have also suggested, paint with sand or non-slip additive would be a great option. Looks pretty difficult to walk up those narrow treads with the bike, given how steep it is! I would case before I even got on the bike 😂

[@rdavies1305]

Top energy as always dude, can't wait to see it finished.👌

[@RudeEee2]

rabbit wire on the top of the woodplanks, lets go. take a monster drink on the roll in , is special grippy when its dry, bmx dudes do the same on slippy ramps

[@jeffhayes1855]

Cool project. Re: grip - Why not wait and see how the wood deck works when wet? Iff’n you do add grip, I vote for the sand additive in a low sheen paint. Also hope to see some trials and balance features added.

[@mrbbqcraig]

When you are revved up for something your enthusiasm just beems dude 🤟.... cheers to you ✨👌

[@phillipstocksdale6317]

Good stuff!! you could cross cut the treads with the circular saw at maybe 3mm deep. Just cut x patterns everywhere 🤘🏼

[@patrickmiller8605]

Awesome video Tom I wish I could visit the UK that way I could meet the Pilgrim brothers plus you and Kara you guys are cool 😎

[@everyhandletaken]

Would sure be an amazing day, that you would never forget!

[@patrickmiller8605]

@@everyhandletaken but everything is expensive

[@everyhandletaken]

@@patrickmiller8605 ain’t that the truth 😒

[@malikridesmtb]

Great work Tom!!!! I would highly recommend to use some weatherproof application mixed with grit and apply on the wood. Definitely it will be very slippery when it's wet. I have very bad experiences on wet wood bridges. 😅😅

[@charlesbarles5359]

Amazing work! 🙌🏻

[@LevoRider]

I think you need a little pulley set up to pull up the bike. Similar to what brick layers use on scaffolding. Make it a little taller and make it so it can swing inboard. I fear someone is going to have a nasty fall climbing up with the bike.

[@everyhandletaken]

I had this thought too! It would probably be a bit of a slow turnaround if he has some mates riding there as well, being that the platform only has room for 1 rider & you can climb up until the current rider heads down. I’m sure Tom is smarter than me though & I am thinking of problems that don’t exist ☺️

[@markpeterson8978]

Well Done Tom!

[@junka1975]

Nice progress Tom.

[@davecardy3984]

Great work Tom looking great really well done 👍👍👍

[@Lukeydookee]

Great build. What's the black covering on the plywood roll-in please Tom?

[@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors]

The ramp is looking good Tom ✌️& ❤️

[@paulhusky580bts]

Tom Try put Chicken Wire along Platform as Waverley Borough council Garden Contractor they put Chicken wire over wood platform path where it Floods people don’t slip when it wet

[@GalacticWoodsman]

Well done Tom! You’ll get some good life out of that run in, the ground really is solid! Easy enough to shim it out if you get any movement as well 👍🏻 don’t know if you ever did carpentry but you’ve got a good knack for it 😊

[@everyhandletaken]

He did mention in a Q&A video, that he did do carpentry previously 😊

[@JasonFoxLCB]

So slick. Scariest things are the steps. 🤣

[@hornzeerides72]

Pretty sweet...well done....cheers 🇨🇦

[@paulangove3277]

Looking sikkk don't forget to Wood Treat the cut edges though 🤟💚

[@benhaymond3391]

Use a chain saw and put cross hatches on the floor for added traction

[@williamdavies9745]

I would use chicken wire on the run give you plenty of grip in the wet and dry

[@eartharrow6772]

Personally I prefer a fine Quail wire 😂

[@T.L.B.115]

felt it! looking good !

[@chillozz1]

That wood is gonne be like ice iff it is wet.. Maybe it's a great idea to put on there a layer bituum That is like a sort of sanding gritt that has allways grip.. And is wether proof Sorry for my crappy englisch. It's not my own language at least i try ;)

[@eartharrow6772]

I don't know what permission you have on the land but consider planting wind and sound breaks , maybe visual so you dont get shut down like like the orchrad

[@Sketchybackyardtrails]

such a sick jump. I would love to build one.

[@proteusnexus1428]

Let me introduce Tom Car...penter :-p

[@gamndoodbrewing8636]

Awesome! 🍻

[@eartharrow6772]

Chicken wire holds dirt and green grime in it makes it very hard to scrub stuff and also holds water were you dont want it, be careful ((edit)as it rots wood)

[@archiefred2997]

I think felt it

[@tomolowe8654]

In the future you could build a zig zag ramp that goes to the top of the platform.. The price of wood tho🤣

[@raoulalecu7682]

“YEAHHH BUDDYY”

[@MTB-Dan]

Use chicken wire on the wood for extra grip 👌🏽

[@jackmaking96mtb]

Nice work 👏 but just out of interest why did you make the run up to the kicker so long 🤔

[@archiefred2997]

I give 10 - 10

[@servidig483]

❤

[@freddieharriman560]

I would use chicken wire on the run in

[@LOVE-62]

Just lay some chicken wire over the wood, it’s cheap and easy

[@cerinicholls6143]

Yeah, slippy as hell with the grain.

[@kennycowell4624]

Handrail..!! 🤷‍♂️🥴🤯

[@derekneumann]

Chicken-wire the run-up....

[@larnbaldwin]

Yes it will get slippy, cut up slats out of buffalo board , that will last 10 years and never get slippy , even when soaked 👍

[@thedude669]

Chicken wire over the wood, don’t felt it
