Imagine what that mouse is thinking when it wakes up! "wtf, how the hell did I get over here?!" 😁

Fiskars have this shovel with metal handle (top to bottom its metal). This shovel outlasts 4-5 shovels with wooden handles. It is usually a bit more expensive than the wooden ones but it is totally worth the price. Wooden shovels just fails all the time.

So sick to see you improving the trail! Have to come back and ride it sometime.

That slow look to the camera at 3:09 🤣 Eric the trail builder: "Well, this sucks!" Eric the vlogger: "I'm sooo glad I was recording that! Content!"

That mouse is going to be REALLY confused when it wakes up.

The mouse is going to be so confused when it wakes up and probably will think : “what? Again?”

I have tons of respect man! I spent a whole summer building a trail that was only about 500ft long😂

Great video mate. Good to see Yuka was helping (as much as her injury allows!) 🤙🏼🤘🏼🙏🏼

I’ve never felt more lazy in my life watching you do what you do.. So inspirational. Watching you put so much effort into this and watching the trail grow makes me so happy, even though I don’t ride.. I appreciate what you do so much. Absolutely amazing man! Love it!

Awesome! Great to see you building again! 👍🏻🤙🏻😇

The storytelling is top notch. You keep on delivering. Thanks

It's actually insane how dry our summer was. Here in Portland we had a wildfire we could see from downtown. The fire went from 500 to 2000 acres in a couple hours because of 32c weather with extremely hot, dry, desert wind IN LATE OCT. The following week, temp suddenly dropped to 4c with nonstop rain over night and it's been that way ever since. It's like fall didn't even exist this year.

Canada looks so cool with all these local organizations. Here where I shape, we have hunters who don't want to share nature, putting stuff on landings sometimes and mayors that are hating mtb :(

Great vid, Eric! I'm always mood boosted when you post. Thanks for the great vibes! YEW! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This reminds me that I'm overdue to put in some trail work.

Awesome video! Glad to see that Yuka is doing well enough to record. I hope Yuka has a speedy recovery!

Minor feature idea (let me know if this is a good idea or not - I have zero experience with this, but find it interesting). S bend corner, but instead of staying in the gap between curves you roll over the top of the berm into the other curve. The two corners would be about tangent at the point that they meet, maybe with a very short straight (ish) section between them to lengthen the transition a bit more and make it easier to avoid accidentally jumping over the top. It's very likely that this is common already, or unrealistic to maintain, but if it does make sense I wanted to share it. Love your videos :)

The deflated look when the shovel broke 😂

Love the video! Thanks for teaching me how to build trails. Especially berms😂

best video series ever keep it up!

Awesome work! Some good additions to the trail. Looks really fun and playful.

Thanks for making sure to try and re home the mouse Eric! The trail is looking really good and, the draining is really interesting to see, the way it just got soaked up into the soil.

Really stellar riding on this bit of trail! Nice flow and subtle transitions; looks super fun!

That soil looks so easy to work with, dreamy compared to what I have to dig through. Trail is looking really good.

Lovely to see another building video! Keep them coming!

Great trail work 🤙

Excellent trail building video, and kudos to the nations for having the trail on their territory!

You’ve got a lot better at trail building over the time with stone starlet! You use the right style for these videos unlike some that are just timelapse with music! Keep making these videos!

I always enjoy your videos Eric. Anyone can learn from them in some capacity. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Great to see you inspired Sam Pilgrim to do a video and that Yuka is on the mend! Happy trails!

Dude, props to you for that car transition! Very entertaining to watch.

Keep up the good work Eric!!! You always impress with you solo trail building. One day will make it out there until then will just need to watch it through your eye's (and lens).

You are a hard worker, Eric.

YES. I actually waited for this video. Love to see the progression of your riding skills, yes, but building trails is also very interesting.

It’s great that you are back out fixing and building trails. Looks like some nice improvements. Hope Yuka is healing and doing better.

Thanks for everything you do for the community. I know how strenuous digging is, and that was a lot.

Cool video, love how serene trail-building looks, especially in the rain! If only i had more time.... Also nice to share your findings with other fellow trail-builders!

It's good to see you building again Eric. That trail looks so good. Wishing Yuka a speedy recovery as well.

Fantastic editing. And the trail looks super fun.

Great video as always, and really good job on the trails! It takes A LOT of work building trails, and also a lot of works to put together videos this high quality. 😀👍

Great video Eric, it's good to see what goes into building a trail and also its upkeep....and evolution! Best wishes to Yuka on her recovery too. ✌🏻

the quality of your videos has improved so much recently, and i love it

Pro-Tip . . . if you plan to build or maintain trails, make sure at least one of your shovels is a "Transfer" shovel. It is *GREAT* for leveling, screeding, and most importantly, packing down. Having said that, it is not designed for digging. So, if you need to do some actual digging, then you will need, you guessed it . . . a "Digging" shovel.

Very nice work Eric! I don't know if you had any help or not, but it sure looked like you could have used a second pair of hands. I hope to ride this trail some day.

I'm so impressed with your trail building skills Eric! Now come build some of those out here in the Calgary area! :)

Thanks for a great video! I really like your trailbuilding content, it's both entartaining and educating

Awesome work Eric! Cant wait to ride the new features.

Sweet! Can't wait to check it out again. Such a cool looking trail.

The amount of work you put in is just insane! Would love to ride that trail if wasn't like at the opposite side of the earth 😅

Maybe you can name that step down the Mouse Drop!

That’s so awesome my friend great job thanks you

Lmao at the shovel. Done it too many times and will never learn.

That thumbnail... "Hope they like step downs" got me crying. (Happy Crying, FUNNY CRYING)

How is yuka doing? I saw her injuries earlier this week.

This was great! thankyou for the great content.

Me and my buddy ran into you yesterday while you were working on this trail. the whole trail is awesome and definitely much harder than it looks on the internet

Yeah Eric nice building out there building. and hitting new. features for the first time is quite unnerving because unless try it you can’t make the adjustments that you need to make it’s a nice confident. booster when you do get it right Nice to see Yuka is doing well MTB injures do happen sometimes but it sucks when it’s someone close to you

Amazing Eric!

All those gas powered units are also available in electric. Although a spark from a metal blade on a rock might be an issue.

Former trail builder here - shovels in general suck ass at prying, they love to break. Get an 18lb rock bar (like $30, it's literally a steel rod with a chisel point at the end) and a pick mattock. You can move damn near anything with those two.

Rider's helping clear drains and removing fallen branches, etc. Should be common place behavior to help out trail builder's. I think every rider should volunteer a few times a season understanding how trails are built and giving back makes us all better Rider's. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride

It takes a lot passion for you to create that great trail! Keep up the great work!

Try using a scythe instead of gas powered cutting equipment. Many you tube videos demonstrate and After a few hours of practice you can cut faster than a gas powered brush cutter. Brush blades can cut 1.5 inch saplings and dry dead blackberry canes with ease. no risk of fire, quiet, fun, no breathing fumes and bonus they have wooden handles

I grew up in Colorado. The soil there is so rocky that when I see soil like you were digging in I am totally jealous. Even where I live now my house was built on an old riverbed. I literally cannot dig with a shovel. You need a long steel bar and a pick ax to even begin to dig a hole

The trail is looking really sweet Eric. Great job on the building and riding. Hi to Yuka....she's my favourite youtuber 👋

Looks super fun! You guys have done a great job building all of it! 🤘🤘

Wait, 800 hrs? That’s a tiny bit more than I have on Breath of the Wild.

the building ones are my favorite ones

My back hurts just watching this.

Good job, man! The trail looks so rideable now

so good man!

Same thing for us. it didnt rain for MONTHS and finally it rained. (which was a month ago)

I knew you were close to where I am but I never realized how close until seeing that home depot thats 2 blocks from where I work

The new step down feature should be named Mighty Mouse👍.

you disappoint me, I had firmly expected that you will fix the shovel , so its be a special one 😂😂 instead of buying a new one......

Really nice improvements!

Sooo awesome epik cool trail 🤘💪👍❤❤❤

Hey I’m happy to see your land acknowledgment!!! Miigwech from Manitoba

This is awesome

Keep making more videos my boy your a great inspiration and it gives me chills bike riding while listening to playboi carti seeing the nature around you feeling the wind it makes me shed tears sometimes

i live in vancouver, about an hour drive from your trail

Awesome video 😃👌

You trimmed the landing to perfection whenever you cased it!! Lol! I think it would be great if you could record the smell of fresh loamy dirt in your edits. I think that would be so perfect to have that when I rewatch this during the cold days of January.

Try a shovel with a fibre glass shaft. They don’t rot out like wood so you can leave them onsite for the season.

How's Yuka? I know she's there but how's she feeling now

Really great work. I enjoy your videos and your voice and I wish I could try your trial

What rear hub do you have on that thing?!

Damn, that's a LOT of work.

His Eric, great video! one quick question if you wouldnt mind, what saddle is that that is on your bike, looks really cool, would love to find out where it is from.

RIP shovel. will not be forgoten

Positive enhancement to the trail Eric. So glad to see Yuka up and mobile after such a wreck.

nice video like always

it was a beautiful forest.

wow!! you re really good to build (;

Q: what is your criteria to know when to stop building features? I love features but sometimes you just need a break on a longer trail.

Good luck little mouse………….you will be missed 😂😂😂

Ever thought about embedding grass pavers or something similar into the dirt on a berm to mitigate erosion?

the look of disapointment on his face when he breaks the shovel

Top Arbeit 👍 great job 👍

I love your videos! Excellent series so far with the trail builds, looks like so much fun. I just started riding this year and cant get enough, but not so sure I could do a lot of your features. So jealous of your building locations, all that cedar so readily available! While Im at it, do you mind telling me what software you use to edit your videos? The wife got me a GoPro 5 Black and Im having a hard time with it. Keep it up!
