Building & Riding the Backyard Safety Bridge

[@SkillsWithPhil]

I just want to point out that Joe's manual out of the wallride was low key nuts. Shifting your weight and manualing out of a transition like that is super awkward. 10/10

[@mylesreid709]

What about Kevin's no footer off the wallride D: TBF it looked like an attempted crank flip.

[@SurikatMeerkat]

But it looked SO GOOOOD!

[@ragomtb]

WELL YEAH!!! ESPECIALLY HIS STOPPIE ACROSS THE BRIDGE

[@BC_Explores]

I was going to say something about that!! Very technical skill

[@Adamas_83]

Yeah, that was super impressive. I stopped and rewatched that clip three times. I'm glad you commented on it!

[@JaredRMorgan]

I love how a bridge to collect your thoughts and calm down has a gap jump entry. LOL.

[@thunderbot5708]

It's a pretty small gap jump considering the rest of the trail

[@somerandomguywastaken]

The jump isnt the problems it's a sharp turn for the speed on wood. Imagine in the wet🤮

[@Icehso140]

Who are we kidding...we never learn. LOL

[@oliverneubauer7131]

beat me to it. my exact thought process ;-)

[@RAMXC]

My thoughts as well! I was expecting a crash on the first run, but was a bit wrong. Can be fixed with chicken wire or groove channels in the wood for extra traction.

[@GuernB2]

Some grip tape would be an easy solution

[@SCHTRAM]

Yea I had the same thought "Why didn't they angle that bridge a bit more like a berm for traction" =D Mfw

[@jorgenunez7608]

As soon as you started building the bridge I was thinking it should be slightly banked like a berm because of the speed you're carrying, you sliding out confirmed it 😂. Absolutely awesome Seth love your videos man.

[@snikwahjets]

Yeah I was thinking it should be slightly banked too. Then Seth shows us why. 😉

[@mtbnation-isaacohara4710]

totally agree

[@pyrobabyyoda]

One of my favorite parts about this channel is being able to watch it evolve from, berm creek with just a few trails to basically a full operation building all these amazing trails, and we can’t forget about berm park. So much amazing stuff, and I just love it!

[@mtbnation-isaacohara4710]

I feel the same way!

[@gunnnagetu2]

Seth, i must say the drone shots of the trail are some of the coolest in the videos in my opinion. Really like seeing everything from above as it gives a good representation of what there is, and the size of your property.

[@PiotrSoluch]

Hi Setth. Short question. So from a nearly vertical wall ride, it transitions into a completly flat bridge. Why wouldn't the bridge have at least a little bit of angle? It would still be 'easy' but be a lot safer. Probably you wouldn't crash if it was angled. Anyways. What do I know.... Great video and great work!

[@SethsBikeHacks]

It was mostly a consequence of poor planning, but once the trail dries out and hardens mud shouldn’t be an issue

[@kschleic9053]

I think an inward bank could be easily added by installing shims under the outside end of the oak planks.

[@fletcherayres5936]

@@SethsBikeHacks I would consider putting small grooves in the surface of the wood to give yourself more leeway for hard shreds. Love the vids keep it up 👍🏼

I love it "low octane"- manuals, nose bonks, all sorts of steeze and a big crash to finish off...classic Seth!!

[@RumfordSledhead]

Hey Seth and Co. Could you guys have kevin talk about what he has learned when it comes to trail building? Maybe some techniques for using hand tools? I've learned a bit about using my Rogue Hoe tools properly/more efficiently but there is definitely more to learn.

[@mtbnation-isaacohara4710]

that would be a great idea! nice thinking

[@beaness2773]

its amazing to see you go from the little berm creek to this

[@jdavies]

As I watched the bridge being built, I knew someone was going to slip on it eventually. Happened sooner than I thought, and didn't look fun! I think you need a bit more of a bank for that curve, else it'll probably keep happening.

Seth, let me start off by saying how awesome it is that you have a property that you can even consider establishing trails/features on. Love seeing you putting in the work and literally getting beat up to get it just right. Loving the Berm Peak Build Projects! Keep up the great work! Derek

[@person849]

That crash looked brutal. Take care Seth!

[@kikoborrico]

2 or 3 degrees of incline on the bridge and it's perfect. No more loss of traction. Thanks for the video

[@ginnipig]

As soon as I saw the finished bridge I knew there was going to be a slip out. Need some more camber on that thing. Maybe build a lip on the outside edge?

[@LF-Productions]

Kevin’s probably been the best thing that’s happened to the channel. Not that Seth couldn’t do it alone but the Kevin Seth dynamic is just great

Not a trail builder but I've ridden wood features in the PNW that are covered with chicken wire (stapled/nailed to the wood planks) to improve slick conditions, rain, wet mud etc..

[@Joe_Jenkins404]

How do you have so much confidence on the wood? I always feel like there’s going to be no traction on it, especially if it’s wet… does anyone ever put grip tape on wood features?…. Edit; So after watching for a little while it looks as if there’s not so much traction on the wood 🤣

That bridge seems like it's going to be slick as hell once it rains a couple of times. If muddy tires is all it takes to slip like that, I can't imagine what a tiny bit of rain and moss build up might do.

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

Think it should have had a slight angle so you don't slide off the edge?

[@JMcKaySV]

Why on earth didn't you bank this bridge? Would've taken no more work and would've gotten far better results. 8:37 just proves this so nicely.

[@kylefaulkner9645]

You should add 4” to the outside of the bridge to make it a shallow berm and assist in making the turn. Just bolt on 4x4’s to the existing posts and raise the framing. Should help a lot when wet too.

[@BudoDave76]

Highly respect the hared work and attention to detail here.

[@bikeswithben1534]

Just an idea… maybe if you made a wall/bank of 30 degree angle or something towards the right side of the bridge where you turn to bank yourself a bit so your bike would be able to sit more perpendicular to the bridge surface decreasing the risk of sliding out. It could sit far to the right so it is optional but can be used to carry speed more safely. Could be a simple solution but it is just an idea. Great video Seth 🤟

[@ch_chone]

With the little kicker after the bridge, you've created... literally... a Stumpjumper!! Step aside, Specialized; Seth can handle it from here.

Love that your builds don't look like Nasa designed them! Bridge needs more bank, so just unscrew the outer band, loosen the screws on the inner band, and sister along side the out band with a higher band and screw it back down.

[@misc.2682]

Hey Seth, what about making a small berm on the bridge out of the little pieces of scrap wood you have left? Just angle em up at like a 50-60 degree angle along the riders right of the bridge. You would be able to get your tires in there and use it as a rut to complete that sketchy turn on the bridge at higher speeds.

[@gregsleith1001]

To potentially make the safety bridge more safe you could make a short “railing” on the outer edge that you could use as a mini berm that might help carry speed with muddy tires on the wood. I don’t know if it would work but it’s an idea
