Seth: let’s get a trampoline for our daughter! Seth’s wife: yeah that’s a great idea! Seth: 😈

Seth : I’m so out of shape Also Seth: Proceeds to do a backflip

It's amazing how Seth continues to be so creative and consistent. I can't think of anyone else in the MTB genre with more original content, and it's very beginner/intermediate friendly unlike most other channels. And most of them just do POV which Seth has never relied on. Such a terrific storyteller!

Back in my BMX days, my buddy had a trampoline bike, but we left the cranks on with no chainring and some crappy plastic pedals. That way you got used to having to get your feet back to the pedals too

We left the crank arms on ours, just covered by towels and foam and zip ties and shirts and all sorts of stuff to keep from busting through. Helped a lot more to get the true feel for tricks and body positioning.

I like the wireless braking on this new bike! (trampolines are a super fast way for me to mess up my back and wind up laying on the floor for a week, getting old sucks :D )

I look forward to seeing Seth and Kevin doing synchronized trampoline in the Paris 2024 summer Olympics.

always impressed by the amount of effort seth + team puts into these videos. great vid

We need some bmx content like some OG Seth videos!!

I want to add some tips of mine: The biggest two factors are from my experience: The weight of the bike and the quality of the trampoline(how good it sends you in the air, and a big saftey thing is having a net. I crashed in the net many times). I would pick up a used BMX for cheap, but pay attention, that its not as heavy as a semi truck... Also if you want to have the feeling of pedals, you can take the pegs of a BMX, put a threaded bar through them and put that through your bottom bracket and put some nuts on the threaded bar with some washers and now you can stand on it. But also wrap the pegs in something soft, so you can a) better stand on it and b) to protect the trampoline. Its complicated to describe and if you dont put enough thinking into it, it might break some stuff, but for me it worked.

It's amazing how much energy you exert on a trampoline.

You are a great guy who explains and understands people how to do the jumping exercise, well done

Hey seth probably been watching for around a year now and I love your content, you were the first mtb KZfaq creator I ever watched lol. Thanks for the inspiration to go out and ride and thanks for teaching me so I could catch up to my friends haha

When I made my trampoline bike I cut tennis balls in half and duct taped them over the ends of the fork and the rear dropouts. It’s able to take a lot more abuse than just pool noodles. It was cool to see you make one of these! 🤟

Best dip for those wanting to do this at home is go to a swimming pool shop and use a pool cover over the frame, its basically a super heavy-duty, thick and hard-wearing bubble wrap. the frame won't pierce through it and it won't hurt if it wacks into you

Seths channel is so amazing bc his content is so accessible for newer riders. Probably the first MTB channel I watched and inspired me.

Mind blowing is that Seth is only 5'4. Dude was made for this sport.

The trampoline bike helped me so much with Barspins. It builds your muscle memory so good and the first one I tried to dirt went flawless because of it.

I love this all for the fact that I learned nearly all of my aggressive in-line tricks on a trampoline. This is also 20+ years ago and while I can’t do those tricks on actual blades I can still do nearly all of them on a trampoline. This makes my heart happy

I used tennis balls for the drop outs and forks. Biggest take away I had from mine was just body position and and bike position under me. Really helped with gaining confidence to let go of the bars.

LOVED this video! Watched it with my two boys. I know this may not be the most clickable video, but I really appreciate your creativity with this video. Thanks for all that you do!

Tramp bikes help with aerial awareness on flips. Doing a flip on a tramp without one is easy enough, but once you’ve put a tramp bike between your legs you’ve gotta use the correct form to get it around. A great learning tool. Awesome video Seth!

Answering the question beforehand- yeas it can! Helped me a lot with opposite rotations and tricks to get comfortable enough to try safe on dirt.

One of the worst feelings in the world… getting old😅 props to Seth for giving it a go. I would be in the hospital 🥴

I had one of these as a kid!! Converted my old dyno BMX into one. We had so much fun on that thing

Fantastic video. So entertaining and informative.

Absolutely helped me and my friends learn tricks and get the confidence to try them.

Grew up skating (15 years or so) and switch anything is a monster at first. Sometimes you get more comfortable doing switch tricks than regular

Great video! All I want now is a trampoline! Keep doing what you're doing so you can stay in shape for the little one! I'm 44 and still try to bounce around with my kids while they still allow me to play! Trampoline indoor parks are amazing but I definitely don't have your skills and the next day is always a day of rest and ice!😁😂🤕✌️🧗‍♂️🤸

I love that it was an older biker who showed you how to make your first tramp bike. Wholesome

I always wanted to try this! I used to take my snowboard on my trampoline. It was a blast.

Love the vids Seth keep it up

Woah I had a similar Asset 24 that got me back into biking a couple years ago. As always, love the videos!

Me and my buddy made one of these back in highschool, it actually helped us with some simpler tricks but we mostly used it to do ridiculous tricks we were never going to do on dirt haha. Good times though

I cut open tennis balls to put around the sharp portions of my tramp bike and its been running for 3 years now. Love the videos!

Thats pretty cool, I never even thought of something like that, which is funny cause being such a big fan of skateboarding, I always knew of people practicing skateboard tricks on a trampoline with just a board without wheels or trucks. Cool that its do-able with bmx too though!

Great vid, but I’d like to see you back on the trails, exploring a new park or even working on the trails on berm peak lol. Much love

never thought seeing a man on a trampoline with a bike could make my day xD

i love these trampoline freestyle vehicles and i made trampoline unicycle. it was fun

Looks like fun...and only moderately dangerous. Time to take those tricks to the air bag!

I never realized how short Seth really is.

Your videos make my Sunday

All those trick names bring me back to being a motocross fan as a little kid. I was obsessed with Brian Deegan.

You could have 3d printed some fork end covers that gave a less pointed surface for the foam to cover! :)

Growing up riding trails, street and park bmx. The trampoline bike with my brother is one of my fondest childhood memories. Old t shirts, jeans and duct take seem to last the longest. Can make up for lost of the wheels to give the bike a more realistic weight. A pool noodle on the crossbar maybe necessary to protect your teeth/face depending how crazy you want to get.

I always like Seth’s videos before I watch.

im really just impressed with the backfilps

Learnt a lot of trick on a tramp bike. The took them to flyout, then box jump then to dirt, no foam pits around when I rode BMX! Even when I got back into BMX and MTB, still made a teamp bike (I was over 30 by this stage) and still kept the same progression, except threw in a foam pit before fly outs. Now in my 40s, I need my grandson to grow up a bit so Pop can "buy him a trampoline" just like Seth did for his daughter haha

Seth. Sometimes when you dream something you can let it go and not do it 🤔. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Man you make fantastic videos. Can't wait to see you in Office Christmas Party 2!

Heck yeah! I used to have a tramp skateboard and tramp snowboard also to work on tricks with

love this seth

I don't know what you weighed at 15, but I was like 65 pounds lighter and flexibility was still something I thought everyone had.

I went to a trampoline park with my kids not to long ago. I was so soar the next several days. Now when I take them, I just watch :D Seth, hope you rested up after making this video.

Trampoline bikes are awesome! We built our first one in 98 after seeing TJ Lavin on one in a Video.

Small note on the technicality of switch being harder, at least in the professional skiing world, it’s not usually that judges remember which way is everyone’s natural direction of spin, (although they will have that in their notes usually) it’s that you get points for doing tricks in both directions. On skis that might be if you spin clockwise off the first jump, they want to see you spin counter clockwise off the second.

You do this in the snowboarding in other sports as well. One thing it does do, it gives a since of reference while moving in the air.

looking for advice here, if i’m looking to do urban mtb is a slope style or dj bike better?

I was at my local Walmart yesterday and they had a new mountain bike there with adjustable front shock and disk brakes but I couldn't find a price. It was called the Huffy Ridgeline like the Honda pickup.

Tramp bikes are soooo fun!

Tennis balls on all dropouts filled with silicon. Like the kind you use for fish tanks or bathrooms. It stick them on really good

It most definitely does help real biking. Used to ride scooters, but hadnt in a year, had trampoline scooted tho. I borrow my friends scooter and do a fingerwhip first T, for the first time ever.

Hey seth I have a issue with my 2000 schwinn 4 banger It has 22mm hayes rear brakes but I went and bought some really nice shimano caliper and levers is there a way I can convert it from a 22mm to a 56mm mount I'm current running the hayes caliper connected to the shimano lever dot fluid caliler mixed with mineral oil is not a good Idea but I have been dying to ride it and I really want it to be all shimano. Thanks

They helped me with 360 combo tricks but i left the cranks and pedals on mine to make it more realistic for foot placement and body positioning

Love the fact that you mentionned "Suey" instead of suicide,. Nice to see that Scotty Cranmer inspiration 💙🤟

We needed to see the Griz Air. Classic dirt jump trick

I appreciate how you go, whoo I'm so out of shape, haha. I know the feeling

Hey, I too had one of these when I was young.

Tramp bikes are fun, but be safe. Bar ends are a must. I nearly lost my pinky 25 years ago when a tailwhip to tabletop that ended with my pinky in the bar end and me landing sideways on the trampoline.

Funny stuff. Wish I had thought of that when I was younger. How many of those tricks do you still take to dirt?

Those weren't excuses, they wee explanations! (cool video!)

I was entertained by this!

Seth goes crazy on a trampoline lmao

I got into mountain biking and love it so far hah just need help with the maintenance

5:59 Worth point out that oppo and switch are different things, oppo would be spinning the opposite way to normal, switch is with your feet the wrong way round (for you) Left foot forward would spin to the right, so spinning left would be oppo, but spinning with your non dominant foot forward would be switch

Even before watching the video I can tell you it really is a completely different sport. Because of the absence of the gyroscopic effect of spinning wheels and generally much lower weight + the fact you’re only jumping up and down makes tricks work completely differenty. Case in point, I can do a 360 windshield wiper on a tramp bike without much effort yet on a bike I still struggle with straight tailwhips… There is slight translation with certain tricks like barspins, but some are just done completely differently like 360s and flips.

We use to have flat bar through the bb for your feet. And pegs at rear triangle for feet .

Now this is the episode of Flip Bike we've been waiting for.

Seth you should make a video about ski bikes some times!

We used to do this with a skateboard deck. I gotta say sometimes it was more fun than real skateboarding!

I was waiting for this To be honest Thanks seth

i learned bars, trucks, backflips, 3 whip and alot of other tricks on my tramp bike back in the day it acually does help as long as you learn the motion and take it straight to a jump

We need to test this on the air bag

Nice clip from the Riviter. I'd like to see a new vid from there.

When you said "Thats a nac-nac, and oldschool trick!" I was getting mad. Then it motivated me to watch "the collective - roam" again and I have to humbly admit that it is old school AF... Where did the years go?! ;)

Seth so down on himself for tricks he couldn’t do 20 years ago and I’m over hear like holy cow Seth’s got moves

What video editing app do you use. And is it free without a Watermark.

Built different

Foam?! What a game changer, we just used t-shirts and duct tape back in the day. Might build another one for the summer, it was so much fun

Good video man

perfect time to make a 3d printed covers for the sharp bits. use pla plus and they wont shatter.

That’s how I learned heel clickers. Tramp bike then straight to a dirt bike. Got perfect first try. But I also spent months doing them on the tramp bike first.

They have to remember what's opposite. They usually go by which peddle is forward.

Seth I know you just did a Kent Trouvaille video but you should do another field test with the new fork.

Your front foot determines your stance on the bike and also your normal/switch tricks. That's all the judges have to look for, to determine which is which. Left foot forward does spins to the right, and throws bar spins with the left hand for instance. The hardest part about bar spins is not hitting your knee and since both your legs are straight it makes it quite a bit easier on the tramp bike. Might want to try keeping one foot forward to practice.

Back when I was a kid all we knew about were wheelstands. Does that show my age? 😯. And shoes on the trampoline, mum would yell at me and dad would kill me. Imagine a bike there!

please make a ski downslope bike they look like so much fun

Hearing all those names remind me of my time on Dave Mirra BMX on the Ps1 some of my friends were into BMX but I was always into not breaking my bones haha 😂

i want to build one of these it looks like so much fun

Seth is prob the oldest person to do a backflip on a trampoline
