It was really cool of you guys to think of me and Berm Park while out here! For the town of Canton, this is a really important draw to bring people to their downtown, as they just lost their paper mill. Whether you know it or not, putting eyes on Chestnut Mountain helps them. Rich and Anna, you rock!
Ya! But is it just me or are could her bars be a bit too wide?? I see so many with bar widths that are for someone that is larger and they just run it! Maybe a test video in there GMBN!
Seth is a national treasure. I'm hoping that more of the small western NC towns follow in these footsteps. Cherokee has Fire-mountain now. all in all it has been a huge success
I'm from North Texas but recently visted the east coast beginning with N Carolina. Didn't bring a bike with me (brought golf equipment)but really wanted to try Seth's Park. So, I picked up a throughly trashed near twenty years old Gary Fisher mtb from a nearby Pawn. Took it to a car wash then picked up a bicycle tool kit rom Wally World and just got the bike ridable(gears didnt function, brakes barely worked but the tires held air). And, I proceeded to ride Berm Park. I ended up packing the bike up and bringing it home on the airplane. It has mow been fukky restored and is hanging on the wall of my show room.
Seth rides very well. Anna does not. She has no skills. She cased every jump and clearly has no control of her bike in the air. It’s a mystery to me how she got this job.
@@kieronwhitehouse33 what a pile of nonsense! Jumps and bike control in the air are essential parts of riding MTB! Even cross country riders wearing tight latex pants are jumping nowadays. So whatever skills she may have in other domains they are totally irrelevant to GMBN. The clue is in the name…
@@asifitmatters1wow, way to be negative. I ride technical blacks all the time, but am still trying to figure out how to jump. There is so much more to mtb than just jumping. Besides her job isn’t to be good at biking, it’s to be a presenter and to have good tech knowledge, which she is great at both.
@@FoundHarpy438 crawling down a black trail doesn’t mean you are able to ride them. I too can drive slowly around Monaco, don’t claim to be a racing driver though or car expert. If you can’t jump then you aren’t a well rounded modern mountain biker. It’s as simple as that. There are several aspects to riding, sure, but the ability to clear “normal” jumps, gaps and drops is an essential and integral part of it. And for all you geniuses arguing that this is ok let’s not forget that she gets paid to do this. She’s supposed to be a professional mountain bike journalist and whilst I by no means expect everyone to have the same riding ability as Sam Pilgrim or Blake Samson, a decent level on par with the others at GMBN is expected.
@@MountainBiking_Bulgaria *whoosh* Seth has more subscribers. The comment was a joke about Seth being more popular, and talking about GMBN as if they aren't also one of the largest MTB RU-vid Channels.
It was great to see Seth doing something a little bit different, but also kind of the same! The park looks amazing as well, great work by all involved.
Definitely more content with Seth! I think more content with other MTB RU-vidrs would be a win win for all. They get more exposure and so do you. We get content to watch!
its 5 AM in the Eastern US time zone and I couldn't wait to watch this one. I was a Patreon supporter and hope to volunteer once I move closer to Canton❤❤❤
Seth is a great guy with a strong sense of community spirit. I first came across him a few years ago when he was doing up a bike to give to somebody that others would recommend. It ended up with a kid about 12 or 13 who volunteered in a bike rescue shop, fixing up old bikes to give to needy kids. His own bike was one of the fixer-uppers. He was speechless when he got Seth's bike and when I saw it was when I clicked the Sub button on Seth's old channel.
Love it, thanks Seth for hosting GMBN. Great to see two of the best MTB channels together. Berm Park looks amazing, wish we had more of this approach in the UK
Places like berm park in canton and baker creek in Knoxville is what makes the southeast one of the best areas to be for Mtb in my opinion, you can ride year round without having a foot of snow for 2 months, the heat is not it though
Love seeing these types of trials. Just finished a session this morning at my local trail called Hydrocut in Waterloo Ontario. Rated as one of the best single tracks around. All funded and maintained by local companies and volunteers.
Rode Chestnut Park and Berm peak a couple weeks ago, came down from Connecticut to do so, was a great ride and the back country that the town is building is a great addition to Berm Park. Loved the Bear Country and Wildcat trail! More Colabs!!
Seth rocks been follower for few years made one trip to berm park for not so daring mtb rider i enjoyed the park was worth the trip his you tube channel is inspiring and full of new items for biking and things not so great for mtb .
Been there once last year and can’t wait to get back this year! I live a couple hours away and there’s a lot of places to ride but when I need to hone in on my jumping skills that’s the place I go
Absolutely do more videos with Seth. As a local here to Western Nc it’s nice to see the coverage of the awesome trails systems we are so lucky to have here.
Really great to get some of the back story behind Bern Park. I'm currently working with the county commissioners are the board to develope trails on the ski hill where I live in Lakeview,OR. Wish me luck!
Thanks for doing this video on Berm Park. Seth is a really good dude who really put effort into creating a place where people can do fun stuff together.
Oh yes you should do lots more with Seth, I’d love to see you guys help him review stuff and give him stuff to review, like try out some classic hacks and bodges!
Berm Park and Chestnut Mountain are definitely on my "To Do"! I'm in Eastern NC (Onslow Co) riding parks like Brown's Creek in E-town, Bicycle Post in Greenville, and of course Big Branch BP in Onslow. Thanks to GMBN and Seth for your excellent channels!
Wish more places in the UK would do this! We finally got a pump track in Colchester but they put it on a sports park and you have to pay for an hours worth at a time! 😢 Seth is a legend. More vids with him please.
What a fun video! My two favorite channels since 2016(ish) merging for this awesome collaboration. It’s amazing how bikes bring people together! Keep up the great content Seth, Rich and Anna!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm in VA and had no idea about this place, definitely on my list for trips now. If you guys come back to NC try Rocky Knob bike park in Boone.
GMBN and Berm Peak are my favorite channels to watch. Me my son just got done riding at berm park yesterday and also had to stop an get a few subs the Italian is wicked awesome!
I would love to see the team come to Beacon Hill in Spokane WA. It's an amazing place, ran by the people and various group that petition for grants and maintain the land themselves. It's pretty big and has everything for all skill levels. It has a mix of private and public land, and it's amazing how well kept it is for not belong to one specific group. It really does belong to the people.
@sethbikehacks and his wife are great people! My buddy and I stayed at his place last spring. Unfortunately it was just before the opening of Berm Park but there are so many great places to ride in the area! I want to go back to ride Berm Park sometime soon.
Happy Memories of being there and 3 wks mtb in NC in July 2023... Pisgah, North Mills, kitima, kanuga... all amazing. Friking humid & hot too... And they like a climb in NC!!! Click bait is WAY bigger than it looks on vids... Unfortunately was in need of tlc when I went. The entry berms to the 10ft step up before the Lilly pad were so gravelly and cut up... Hope it's fixed and swept now ...
