I Built The Ultimate Backyard MTB Trail! 

I don't thnk it could have turned out any better!

That section should be called the "Coil", because it lines up with a snake... It's called "Snake Run", right?... Then that new section should be called the "Snake Coil". Just saying.

@@667SatansNeighbor Or a "Slingshot", cause it uses centrifugal force to launch a rider like a projectile...

Anytime!!! Keen to one day get down there and see the epicness in person!

@@bikesonline For sure!

Yes Luke. Great work mate. I am so glad you didnt ride the corkscrew but a little sad also. 🤙 I cannot wait to see it unveiled on your channel. And you looked pretty good riding that Marin.

@@Jusdin057 thanks mate! I was actually planning on riding the corkscrew (or what ever it ends up being called) for this video because I had planned for the build edit to be finished long before this one. But rain has sadly delayed. I have since given it a test ride and I gotta say it is awesome!!! And yeah I am really loving the Marin. I feel a bit better on jumps. I think it's a bit shorter than my Norco so I get a better pop. I haven't taken it down any chunky stuff though. If it ever stops raining I'll get it out into some rock gardens.

@@cutlaps sounds like you need a (optional?) rock garden line on your trail

Thanks John! I'm really stoked you found it so interesting. It's so nice to be able to spend my free time out in the forest getting creative. And we have plenty of large trees that have fallen over and need to be cleaned up, so you can expect even more fun wooden features in the future. Thanks for watching.

Cheers Chris! We have had some really wet weather and strong winds lately which has brought down some big trees. It feels good to be able to give them new life as a MTB feature. Thanks for watching.

Cheers guys! I like the Dust Devil but its more muddy than dusty with all this rain at the moment! 😂

So good riding and building the trail with you. Need to get you back when it's not raining.

Thanks mate! I love the name. It just reminded me that I haven't listened to Twisted Sister for ages. Cranking them on Spotify now.

Thanks Mike! Really pumped to have this edit out!

Now I'm craving a pack of Twisties! Thanks for watching.

Thanks Luke! I am extremely stoked. And I can't wait to do another top to bottom video in a few months when the full trail is finished. I have some big plans for that bottom section. Thanks for watching!

Cheers for watching. I guess I'm a little bit obsessed and building trail features is all I can think about now haha.

Very cool! If you have any photos or videos of your trail send them my way. I would love to see them.

Hahah shes the star! I thought I would give her her own section in this video. Thanks for watching Adam.

I loved all the Aggie parts!

Cheers dude!!! A lot of hard work but dam it is fun to ride!

Thanks Craig! I am very excited at the moment. Finding it hard to concentrate on anything else haha.

Agree with that sentiment! 🤙

Yes!!!! Thank you. Yeah I think my backyard trail is a bit different to the others on RU-vid because of the amount of space I have to work with. I can have a much longer trail with some really nice flow and a variety of features. Thanks for all your support.

Luke's production is top notch! He uses a cable cam for a lot of his shots, which is suepr cool!

Thank you! It's a lot of work out there filming myself riding so I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

Best in class!

Yeiwwww thanks mate.

Yeiwww thanks buddy. I was pretty stoked with this one.

A lot of hard work but it sure pays off! Thank you for watching.

It's been a fun journey, thanks for the support from the beginning. I'll call it the Whip It if you show me your best whip off it!

@@cutlaps hahaha! Can't wait!

Thanks mate! I can't wait to share the next build video. It's my best by far! Stay tuned.

@@cutlaps i definitely will

Cheers! It's so much fun, and I have so many more trails planned, this is only the beginning. Thanks for watching.

Oh yeah like one of those fair ground rides that you stick to the wall!

Hell yeah! Thanks guys. I really need to build some fun jumps like you have. I get jealous every time I see them on Instagram. I hope the rain hasn't been too bad down there.

Awesome! Really glad you liked it. It's a lot of fun working with the landscape. Bushwalks became a lot more interesting because I can't stop imagining different features I would build haha. Hopefully the corkscrew video isn't too long away. It takes a long time to edit. Thanks for watching!

Oh true! It does look like a snake curled up ready to strike. I'll add them to the list to choose from. Thank you

The snail jump ? Really like the video! I wish I had a trail in my back yard!

Thanks mate! I'm nearly finished the next video riding the curley Q. It's been a big build slowed by rain but it's finally nearly done. And I'm excited to share it! And I'm glad you like the mix of 1st and 3rd person filming. It takes a lot of time to film like that so it's great to hear it's immersive.

Ooooh nice one... keeping the snake theme going! Are you going to be able to ride the trail with your new found fear of snakes?

The snake theme is good! There is a curl snake and a bandy bandy, which might fit too!

@@cutlaps haha I’ll get over it mate.

Curl Drop

Very cool! Hope you have fun building and riding it!

That's awesome!

Thats cool you found my channel earlier this week. I try to share as much info as I can while I'm out there learning. Cheers for watching.

@@cutlaps Thanks for the top notch vids mate 👍

Thanks mate!

Aweomse thank you so much!

Oh yeah!! 🤙

SKITTTZZZZZ! Yeiww

Cheers dude! So pumped to have this one out.

Thanks Stuart! It's been a lot of fun out there and still nowhere near finished.

Thanks Hayden! I need to get out there and build some new features.

Thanks for sharing!!

Dude that is awesome to hear! Thank you. Stoked you enjoyed my video and trail. Still a lot more to build and plenty of room for more trails.

Oh yeah thats a good one. I had to have a quick google to see what they looked like and it is pretty much the exact same shape!

Same here, this chat feed is so educational

Totally!

Thanks Juan!

Thanks for tuning in!

and Cut Snake for short. That works because the drop is like where the snake has been cut in half! Good name. Haha I like the donation box idea 😂. Thanks for watching Paul!

Hey Joe! Thanks for watching. Sounds like you have a pretty fun backyard as well. I build my chicken bridges so they can easily be removed without any screws. So depending on who's riding the trail its easy to put them back in place. A pump track would be cool! I owuldn't mind building one as well. And you're right there is very specific geometry needed to make them work well. I have seen some pretty useful guides to building optimal rollers on google.

Lots of hard work but it is all definitely worth it! Thanks for watching.

Cheers Glenn. Yeah it would be good to keep the trail snake related. I'm not sure if I even mentioned it in the video but the trail is called Snake Run, so the Snake Drop would work well.

@@cutlaps yeah you mentioned it im sure some great names will rare their head in the comments

@@glennlivermore9120 There has been a lot! I think I will choose my favourites and then have a community vote in a week or two.

Ooooh I just had to have a google of Theodorus and lots of images of his spiral came up that looks just like this! He could have been a great trail builder if mountain bikes had been invented haha.

Wow the “Spiral of Theodorus” is a fitting shape, makes me think “Spiral of Theodropus”

Gives me an idea what if you took nature art like Andy Goldsworthy stuff and applied it to trail builds similar to Backyard Trail Builds does, might be some kind of mashup idea there. (Especially given Luke is a great artist)

That would be a great Collab!

@@bikesonline have you seen my content?

We do too! Haha!

Thanks Taj! Channel is starting to take off which is awesome.

All credit to @cutlaps!

Thanks mate! It does look like a snail but it needs a lot of speed! Maybe the Turbo Snail? What do you think of that?

@@cutlaps yeah turbo snail drop !!!👍

Yeiwww thanks for watching!

Thank you! So much fun out there.

@@cutlaps 🤙

Cheers mate!

Cheers Louis!!

Thanks mate! Be sure to check out the latest video on my channel to see me ride the corkscrew
