Starting my Backyard Mountain Bike Trails with a Gap Jump!

[@MTBTrailRider]

That’s a nice lip. I just built a gap jump in my buddy’s yard with the same 8’ radius and our ramp is 5’ tall. It’s super steep! We built up the frame of our landing with railroad ties and had dirt delivered in a bobcat. This is the first video I’ve seen on your channel. 🤘🏼

[@AirdBMX]

That's awesome man and thanks! I am getting into the mountain biking world with my new dirt jumper and most likely in the next year or 2 a downhill/trail bike! Your jump sounds sick! Dirt landings are the way to go for sure, very little upkeep and a lot better if you fall on them lol.

[@MTBTrailRider]

@@AirdBMX - Good stuff! I've been riding a trail bike for a couple years and using that for jumping but now looking to get a dirt jumper specifically for this kind of stuff. That's probably how I ended up on your channel from my searches. I liked how you built the center transition to fill the gap. I feel good on our ramp but when guys come over, they get intimidated and we had to make a super sketch attachment to help them build confidence. hahaha

I was abt the comment this🤣

[@justinmanship5431]

I have 6.5 acres of wooded land out here in southern Missouri with some really cool features. I want to start building some MTB trails soon.

[@trippscoots]

Got 9 acres in Louisiana and I have trails but it’s mostly flat 😕

[@lackin7896]

I live in southern Missouri too, it’s pretty hilly

[@GavinGlasgow]

I live right in the middle of Missouri. .Is your weather crazy down there also?

[@colinloughran4148]

Justin Manship hey when you do start a channel and then let me know and I’ll be you’re first subscriber

[@davesjourney8406]

Never saw someone make a trail with a broom. :) Nice feature though! I probably wouldn't have put the leg into the creek though. They will rot fast there. Looking forward to your next video.

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks glad you liked the video, but yeah with all of the leaves on the ground it worked better than a rake. For the legs i'm planning on putting in a more permanent solution when they start to rot.

[@MrBlawver7]

Wow awesome! Excited to see what is next! Great vid!

[@AirdBMX]

Y'all are going to love the next few!

[@lukesteele5013]

Thumb nail says build ride.... wonder where I heard that @sethsbikehacks

[@airdnesbitt9248]

yo we have the same name bet that's never happened

[@AirdBMX]

Haha that's crazy! My actual name isn't aird but its still cool, I never thought I would see it somewhere else

[@joecarpino]

Good work, this is literally how I build all of my trails. A machete and a rake

[@AirdBMX]

Feels a lot more satisfying that way!

[@The_zenithgod]

The background music is too loud for how quiet your voice is

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks I'll take that into account for future videos

[@The_zenithgod]

Aird Bmx wow didn’t think you would see this

Aird Bmx wow didn’t think you would see this

[@tomtranfaglia4057]

Hey man loved the video! I was actually thinking of building a very similar lip in my next video! Do you have any tips or things you learned through building it that might help out?

[@AirdBMX]

Hey! Glad you liked the video! If I were to go back and do it again I would have cemented the legs into the ground. I also wouldnt use the 1 by 4's they work decently well but you cant put 2 screw on each side of a plank without it splitting and I feel like I will he replacing them with 2x4s soon! Good luck on the build

[@ryansantiago941]

Great Build!!! I will definitely be using the majority of your design for this weekends ramp build. *** For any others wanting to build a similar wood ramp. I’d recommend spacing the top planks 1 INCH apart instead of 1/2 INCH apart. Typically, spacing the top planks at 1 INCH apart, makes for better traction for bike tires. That added traction from the 1 INCH spacing will really come into play, as the ramp gets weathered, and from just being ridden. Again, thank you for sharing the great build

[@MaYbYl8eR]

obviously copying sethbikehacks thumbnail format

[@ArdenBallard]

Great work! Getting tons of inspiration to build our own backyard jumps here.

[@AirdBMX]

That's awesome! I'm just trying to get people excited to ride bikes and build some sick trails!

[@lhs22]

The thumbnail almost had me thinking it was a seth's bike hacks video

[@AirdBMX]

Yeah they are a bit similar, seth is the GOAT though. I hope to one day be close to the level he is on

[@ImBeamZy]

This guy obviously watches Seth’s bike hacks

[@kahnmarken5269]

Buy yourself a MTB wtf

[@George-jj2tp]

Stfu

[@corilewis5215]

Buy yourself a bmx

[@AirdBMX]

I have a dirt jumper and a bmx for now. I'll eventually get a mtb trail bike

[@leviporter7384]

Some posthole diggers would of been handy for digging in the supports a little better.

[@Ben_McBride]

So what do you do yesterday Oh I swept leaves

[@AirdBMX]

😂 haha, sounds like a solid day to me

[@wigler9906]

Hello seths bike hacks 2.0.

[@mr.dreamyard890]

Awesome build 👍🏻

[@elliotburkett1683]

creek jump without the creek...still a sick build

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks, It'll be a small creek for a couple days after it rains, but dries up pretty quickly

[@samwilson7539]

Seth is that you

[@500ssscott7]

That is a ditch

[@andrisvelmeris]

Looks amazing

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks!

[@WilliamCronin]

Looks sick, One thing I would recommend is adding more support under the planks on the landing, I wouldn't trust that to stay up for long just from experince

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks! Yeah I think I'm am gonna go back in the next few weeks and reinforce most of it

[@justinburgan]

Looks lippy af

[@AirdBMX]

it's actually a pretty smooth jump for what it is

[@justinburgan]

@@AirdBMX glad to hear that, looks rad

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks man!

[@ElliotCourtney]

Hope that wood is pressure treated or it will rot because of the contact to the ground

[@AirdBMX]

Some of it is, some of it isn't, I'm a college student on a budget so I take what I can get. I have clear coated a lot of the untreated parts in the ground to help a little but eventually some pieces will need to be replaced.

[@lmandrums3118]

That is really smart to build a removable bridge because you can work your way up to jumping it by first rolling over it second jumping with bridge on and then jumping with bridge off

[@AirdBMX]

That's exactly why we built it that way. I knew beginners who were going to be riding it and they wouldnt hit it with out, plus with how easy it is to take on and off I couldn't resist building it!

[@gmanmtb]

Siiiick gap jump by your pooch !!!

[@AirdBMX]

Haha thanks, that's my buddy Luke's new pup

[@crepbmx2484]

What bmx bike does bailey have

[@AirdBMX]

It was a fit complete I remember which one though

[@mitch4298]

Guy how does he only have 11k

[@downhilljoshua7960]

Its looking hot🔥🔥 But i would do two screws per one side from the boards

[@AirdBMX]

Yeah I think i'm gonna go back when the 1 by 2s start to get weak and replace them with 2 by 4s and do 2 screws per!

[@themostlymikeshow]

Nice job!

Thanks!!

[@AirdBMX]

[@upstatecre8]

Well done!

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks!

[@havenwisner6776]

That has to be the equivalent of jumping down 2 stairs 😂😂 why is it so small

[@AirdBMX]

Because the area around it was so small and the turn after is really tight, any bigger and the berm after would need to be way bigger!

[@akfamile3591]

very nice trails

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks 👍

[@sgith9084]

Thank you for uploading! Awesome video, keep trucking 🤘🏼

Thanks Kathleen, I'm hoping to move towards that!

[@true3211]

nice

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks!

[@VHScarter]

BUILD A BERM MATE AFTER THE JUMP SO YOU CAN CARRY SPEED

[@AirdBMX]

It's in the plan, but wood is super expensive so kinda waiting on that

[@VHScarter]

@@AirdBMX nice as maybe make a berm out of dirt then, just an idea. but will be more time consuming

[@AirdBMX]

Originally I was going to, but the soil out there is only like an inch thick then it is solid clay that you need a pickaxe to get out so. It would take like a week of only digging to get the dirt for it unfortunately.

[@ewartbuilt660]

Just stumbled on your channel. Nice content

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@hannesmatthiesklaus8708]

I would build the landing more massive but good job!

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks! I would have liked to, but since the turn after is so tight I I decided against it

[@dakotak.6956]

I thought this was Seth because of the thumbnail lol

[@AirdBMX]

Yeah, I'm not gonna do it like that anymore, i love his videos and i don't want to piggyback his success!

[@wadel.2465]

Might I suggest using a rake?

[@AirdBMX]

Since i'm only moving dead leaves the broom works a lot better!

[@wadel.2465]

Aird Bmx That makes sense.

[@aaron56426]

Wow dude what state do you live in, seems very warm there

Why are you such a small channel but with so high production quality?
