Improving the best (MTB) thing I've ever built

The "pumptrack", named Blowout, is most likely the best thing I've ever built for mountain biking, as it gets used just about every day. This has been life changing for my family and guests.
Today we're going to add on to Blowout with a little case pad lander. This is literally the opposite of what I have done in the past, which was to create the most sketchy and challenging features possible. Life circumstances change, and I'm excited to start building more things that people actually ride!

yup completely agree, I love hearing the sound of Joy, and love seeing a parent spend quality time with their kid. As I've gotten older, more and more do I love hearing the sound of kids playing. When my child's friends are over and they are all playing and laughing, its a great feeling, it brings a joyful vibe to the home. I guess I'm turning into a grandparent early?

European here. You gave me a good laugh with the Imperial measures thing. I've long given up on questioning the validity of this choice in the US only. As if everything always made sense. The "Thank you daddy" coming from a kid at such low age must be one of the most rewarding things you can get (besides seeing your kid having fun). Great video, thanks for sharing!

Showing your daughter the feature was such a sweet moment. I lost my dad a couple of years back at a relatively young age, and I don't want to make this sad. I just wanted to say that you will never understand what these things mean to your daughter and her friends. These special moments are lifelong memories for her and you, and it is really awesome to watch. Thank you so much for your channel Seth.

@user-jh528 6 ай бұрын

Sorry to disappoint you, but as a carpenter from Germany I can say that we (at least in carpentry) are NOT using imperial measurements. Why should we? :-) Btw: A sheet of plywood is 62,5cm or 1,25m (2 times 62,5cm) wide and 2,5m in length. 2ft are 60,96cm, so that's not the same ;-)

Thats a fact. Me and my cousin are trying to make my 4 year old cousin start mountain biking, and we've been building some small features that look nice (and spray painting them pink lol) so she likes them. She rides those way more than the other ones. Also adding paw patrol stickers guarantees +10 laps

Heat treating the post driver caps should help them last longer. For something being hammered on you would want less hardness to reduce the embrittlement. Try heating the post driver until it's glowing red and then allowing it to cool as slowly as possible should help with stress relief and reduce chances of welds cracking. Hammering is going to work-harden them but it may buy you more usable life.

I’ve recently gotten into mountain biking at the ripe age of 41, and I discovered your channel. There are a number of reasons I love your content, but as I dove in I began to admire your love for getting kids into the sport. So much so that I’ve dedicated myself to teaching my young son how to ride so that eventually we can go out on trails together. Lastly, because I believe it’s important to let other dad’s know that they’re doing a great job…you’re a great father. Keep up the good works!

As a father of two, great job Seth, the time you spend with your kids will come back ten fold. Here in Oz, we are international and love our metric but refuse to let imperial go in carpentry. We still buy our lumber in lengths of 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.1m, 2.4 etc (or 4 ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8 ft etc), we still lay out our house construction with joists at 300mm, 450mm (1ft, 1ft6), the list goes on. I'm not sure if this video makes me laugh or cry, but either way, thanks for sharing.

Hey Seth - great video. A few years back we built a giant dock in the creek out back from our house. We drove 6x6's 4 feet into the creek bed. The best thing we found to protect our 6x6 stakes, instead of a post cap was to just screw a scrap piece onto the stake. When that piece inevitably split, we'd unscrew it and grab another. We even went as far as using yellow page books the same way that were randomly mailed to us when we were building. Give it a try! Works like a charm!
