I appreciate the how u go through your thought process on the build and how u adapt to things that are too difficult to change. You have my vote for the hardest working trail builder on KZfaq!

this boy needs more attention thats so fire 🔥🔥

We admire your dedication! Keep pushing ! It's going to be insane

That view at 8:10 is PHENOMENAL ... and ominous! ... Man, just when I walk in the door from building my own features in my local zone and think I did a lot of work and then sit down and click on this I just shake my head in disbelief at how much work you do! IMPRESSIVE! Can't wait to see you send that drop!

Such insane work ethic!

Epic work! Man that's titanium back territory to move all that dirt, and it's good you explained time amounts on such huge projects. I'm building a jump trail in the desert and it's so funny when people ask when it's done, like the vision, walking, imagining, to actually building something testable and then adjusting everything as speeds change. It's a crazy amount of work and physics but the creation is worth it.

Unreal build…!! Can’t wait to see you sending it

Thank you for giving us a window into you trail building process, ( line choice, momentum physics, drainage). It’s helped me in my local trails when building shark fins into berms and building entrance and exit angles, radius for keeping speed and much more. Really staring to get an eye for utilizing my local terrain to maintain speed through sections and maintain flow opportunities! Keep up the great content. And thanks for contributing to an international community, from Mansfield Ohio I say thanks.

Always enjoy your build / ride vids. ❤

Nice work man!

Insane dedication & video quality. One of the best 💯 🔥

Amazing me as usual! Like many have said on this video. You have dedication, trail building skills and riding ability over most out there! Along with your unique style. You're like the Shaman of the MTB world! 🙌😂

Keep pushing! Fantastic work, in september I will be around and will help you a lot on the digging, I love digging it's a teraphy to me.

Love the trail build videos mark keep up the great builds.

sick mate, big props!!!

Very hard work, you can tell when something is machine built vs hand built. Your definitely one of the hardest working trail builders but at the same time an epic rider, can’t wait to see the final result

Dude your work is so inspiring.. id love to work like you..!!

Unreal man! Gonna get another Line Of The Year for sure.

So good dude!

Ooof getting closer Mark 👌

Your channel really growth over the past two years I still remember when you had 70000 subscribers well done

That was a stack, sesh..... Big up to ya, for that one.... Yeesh!

Epic!!!

You are a maniac in a very good way. That is incredible work to be done. Wish I didn't live on the other continent and could come by to dig haaaaaard 😅

Hey mate, when filming vlog style shots, consider changing the lens setting on your camera. The wide/superwide angle lens setting is great for framing shots but is terrible when trying to show off the size and scale of features. On a gopro the lens setting you would want will be "medium", find the equivalent setting for your camera. Bernard Kerr filmed all his hardline footage in superwide and it made everything look tiny.

I’ve been loving the build videos lately! It’s a great way for me to learn. How do you decide where to pull dirt from? For the landing your dig spot looked pretty close, isn’t that going to get filled with water? Any issues there?

So sick man

Awesome build, really looking forward to that line coming together. And what's that bike? Looks 4-bar / horst-link like like your prototype downhill but the seatube looks straighter and it runs a dropper? Is this another prototype or a new version of the long travel prototype? I personally would love to see a 170/180 superenduro / freeride bike from Marin that can still be pedaled :)

I've not been following this trail building process except from on Instagram, but it's looking awesome! So amazing to see how much work you're putting in. However, (and I haven't read much about this so please inform me if I'm wrong), have you considered the ecological impact of it? I'm no forest expert but to me that looks like a reasonably-old-growth forest, and you're removing the moss and low foliage that sustains the wildlife and trees. Would appreciate any form of enlightenment on this topic.

Love it how your literally building your own bike park 😂 🤙

Epic shot at 8:07

Sick

So good

You're a monster in the best way. That's huge.

Honestly the most underrated rider

Could that dirt be any more perfect???😍

💯 beaucoup de travail mais bon résultat

Man that's a lot of work 😄. Just out of curiosity what are the rules for digging trails where you are? Around here people wouldn't be too excited if I started digging new trails and features in the woods. Rules are really good for access here but digging it's a different story.

too good

What mount do you use for that insta?? And would it fit under the helmet visor do you think??

this forest is beautiful, where is it?

we really are spoiled here with the combination of amazing terrain and wicked soil for building eh?

Bike equation is N+1. Wheelbarrows of dirt equation is N+10.

I can't imagine how sore and tired you were each day shoveling that amount of dirt and tossing it up on the landing.

What hub have you got on your bike ?

That rock would have broken with a good sledge on it, I think.

Whats the name of that bike you riding?

What frame is that? Doesn’t look like a Marin

does anyone know bike he is riding with? it looks sick but i cant identify what it is

when you finish ?

human excavator

Not that it isn’t a huge landing for hand built because it certainly is big but I think the one that shipo mtb built is bigger

cant u just make the berm out of wood it would look cool and would probably take less time .

if i moved this much dirt in california i would be in prison

So you are just going to keep building bigger and bigger features to ride for views?
