This video is an excellent example of how hard trail builders work FOR FREE to create such amazing things for us to ride. Thank-you Eric, Yuka, and all the others that helped.

The AR you are using and CAD'd features is really incredible. Makes creating features so much less math when you're getting the angles right by matching what you're seeing in AR. Really amazing.

I absolutely love your videos. At first I assumed trailbuilders just took whatever wood they wanted, whether it was dead or alive. But your videos have shown me that you guys try to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible and I really appreciate that!

I don't even mountain bike, but for some reason, I love watching this channel. Keep up the great work!

Props to OP for ingenuity and resourcefulness in the design and construction, but even more so for the back-breaking labor that was put into this project by all involved. I would hope those who ride this trail and feature watch this video and appreciate the effort. This video and others like it have given me a new-found respect for those that design, build, and maintain trails for the rest of us to enjoy. Great work! 👏🏼☺️
