This MTB Feature is FAST! 

Let me know your suggestions on how to make the jump work better. I'm thinking of making it a straight landing. This episode's t-shirt winner is JohnnyTheG! Congrats. He also has a RU-vid channel you can check out. ru-vid.com

Idk why this guy doesn’t have at least 100k subs. The videos are well organized, well edited, entertaining, and high quality.

Firstly Luke…your production, filming and editing are next level dude. Your trail building skills are bloody brilliant. Keep up the great content, now my suggestion is some sort of timber feature…. Stepped up landing that slopes back down to the trail. Like a 45 degree wedge that slopes down…. That could be cool and less dirt.

I would get rid of the jump and make it double roller if some people want air and have a high speed/ low speed feature down the trail so they can choose.

Dude! Such a good episode, even though the feature didn’t work like you wanted. the production was beautiful.

Your videos are sick, I just watched all of them in one sitting because the pacing and shots of your solo videos make it soooooo entertaining.

Loved the transition from the grey sad film to the bright colourful music

I found your channel at the beginning of October 2022 and I'm now caught up........please, please, please give us more!!!

The tools full title it a fire fighting rakeho, it also used by many fire fighting organisations around the world to move dirt over small fires, and clearing fire trails which is very similar to the trail clearing you use it for.

always special🙏🙏👍👍 And thank you very much for your support✌✌❤❤

Man trail building can be frustrating at time but always ends up being so rewarding. Don't be bummed trying something and it not working out. That "mistake" often morphs into something else spectacular

I really love to see you smiling while riding 🤣🤣🤣 i can feel the happiness!! Such great video🥳🥳

Sick video dude, kicker and roller looks mint but I reckon turn that jump into a double roller, so then there is still a fast Flowy option and a air time option, but it’s your trail so I don’t mind. Looks rad either way!

love the videos man! just watched all of them in a few days, I've just got a mountain bike and I've been thinking of creating my own trail so thank you for the inspiration! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MATE :)

Awesome work on both the video and the trail once again mate! Also, that really fine, slightly wet dirt is what we like to call hero dirt. It's awesome as a top layer for all features!!

Another great build! A wooden catch-berm would do amazing there, but take its time to build. I‘d either reroute the trail after the hip-jump or move the hip-jump further down the trail (in front of the next left-hander) And as always, amazing cinematography!

Not jump related but totally feel like the mini excavator needs a name because it's a bit of a mouth full. Thinking because it's a digger, but mini, it could be called Diglett? :)

Awesome video! I cant wait for more!

The speed looks gnarly man sick!!

Great video again, binge worthy series so far ! Stoked to see what happens next

Dude this is looking siiiiiick! I'm all caught up now and seen every episode. Excited to see more. Thanks for bein you, my dude.

Awesome trail building videos!

Great video Luke. As always it was awesome to watch you build, you do it really well and the video editing is perfect. It's a shame that the jump didn't work quite as you wanted, but I'm sure you'll find a way to adjust it so that it works. The high speed roller looks fantastic. Great test ride and brilliant work as always mate. Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Ride on🤙

Great videos, so motivational. Keep it up!

Sick video again, cant wait for more, keep up the great filming and editing!👍👍👍

Just watched the whole series and I'm absolutely stoked for you! Trail looks sick and your camera and editing work is top notch. Can't wait for more videos. Subbed and notis on.

Yet another great video and trail build. Keep up the fantastic work 🤙

Legend! This is my favourite part of the trail so far (once you sort out the jump)! Loved how the vid went black and white while you were sad 🤣. I reckon straighten it up a bit and maybe even raise the landing up a bit so you are really flying off the back of it!

Keep them coming!!

Such good production!

This trail looks so flowy and fun! Wish it was mine!

Sick stuff man, love your content

Dude so glad I found you you should be way bigger on RU-vid keep it up dude!!!

Only just found this channel and it’s so entertaining and fun to watch Props to u man!

Dude, you're gonna be big! Great content. 😁👍

Awesome as always dude. Don't worry about trying to get it perfect, some features need a lot more work than others but you'll get it

Love the speed you can get on your trail.

you my guy, will BLOW up in future for SURE!!!

Wow what a track, you manage to show the track and terrain better than anyone! Really get a feel for it as a viewer

As always great building, great riding and also props for the thumbnail it looks really nice 👌. Unlucky that the jump didn’t work out but I’m sure you’ll find a solution and if anything when ever a feature doesn’t work I always look at it as a chance to learn and improve as a trail builder will probably not have been for nothing! Anyways thanks for a great video, I’m already looking forward to see what’s next!

This trail is so sweet !!!🤘I’m wanting to go even more to Australia now!!!

You deserve more subs. Great video.

Looking great man

GREAT story in this episode, the way you shared something not working out (I can totally relate) and then turned it around from dull to “please, work please work, please work” music build up and excitement was super entertaining thanks for putting on a good show! I’d say don’t think of the current feature as a hip, but a semi-wall ride with a slight hip and then, like you said extend/raise the catchment berm, and remove some dirt at the end of the landing exit and it should improve. I feel your pain of trying to fit a hipped feature into a trail that is already in place. Hips almost need to be built at the end of the trail and determine the direction of the trail instead of following a trail. I’ve built awkward hips doing that too. I think it could still work as a hip! If you split the trail off to the left where the hip wants to go, then you could commit to landing more hipped. You could have a secret line that jumps off the catchment berm over the natural brush and lands in the natural direction the hip wants to exit, then looking at the map the trail curves back that way to secretly connect back on. When I say secret I’m referring to @0:35 where you already have a beautiful hidden connection back onto the old trail from last episodes work.
 I can’t wait for this next high speed feature. My guess is a wall ride just before where the digger is parked.

Hi, cutlass! you can make it just a normal landing. It will be a lot of work, but I see some people in the background so I'm guessing that it is a public bike park. if you are doing that plz make a little berm after for the speed. it will be better, also make the lip a bit steeper for more air. to get more speed when you land, make the landing steeper than 45 degrees to gain more speed. also, I saw that you want some more jumps on the trail, you can just make the rollers wider and then take a flat rock or something for the lip. then the end of the roller will be the landing. I hope that you will do this. the trail will be more fun. I see that the trail is quite long and skinny, on your next trail build I recommend that you make a longer gap between the berms on each end so it will be a longer trail for more fun and higher speed. And one last thing. I recommend you also build some tech on the trail. the trail will take more time, so then you have longer downhill and the same uphill.

Love the show and I'm learning loads. I'm up the road at Sussex Inlet and building a trail in the hills, only trouble is the sand. I kid you not that it would be 95% sand and sand like the beach with about an inch of soilish leaf litter. I have managed to get help from a Facebook group and the ideas are so helpful. I'm using everything from hessian bags to broken roof tiles and concrete to pieces of carpet, anything to make sand firm. Oh yeah quick set and importing clay as well as a heap of timber jumps , berm walls and drop offs. When it's done I will invite you up for a day at the dunes. For your dilemma I would suggest a step up on the right so when you come down the step you are ready to hit a berm where the track goes right. You could build the rollers bigger then and pump more speed into the berm. ✌️👊 Peace

Great video again mate. I think following the landing left into a short cut or link trail to another section.

Wow outstanding viewing . Like how you explain what you are doing and why too. Subbed as I really want to see how this all turns out . Great vid mate 🤘

Sick video cant wait for the next one. That hip would work awesome if you put a wood berm, it dosent have to be super steep just a nice mellow sick half wallride sorta thing. cant wait to see who wins the t shirt next vid. keep up the sweet content! 🤙

Great series so far. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Great quality production, build & videos. You deserve a big audience! I'll be buying a t shirt come pay day 😂

What an emotional roller-coaster. Hmm haven't got any ideas. Keen for zipper hoodies 😉

Nice edit Luke, bummer about the jump not working but you’ll work it out. 🤙🏼

This is sick man

Can the jump, I know there was some serious work done, but that flow over the roller is pure. On to the next part of the trail which I’m guessing is a drop 🤘🤘🤘 Awesome job Luke 👏👏👏

so sick, such mint dirt to build with and great skills! Yewww.

My friend, your editing and filming skills are on another level, way above mine! Thanks for the inspiration! If you allow me the suggestion for landing, maybe cut the slope in front of the landing ramp and with that land increase the beginning of the landing ramp so that it slopes more (I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, but it seemed to me that this way you could get out faster after the jump).

damnnn that roller gives you so much speed! can't wait to see what you're planning next

Well done Luke, not everything goes to plan but its a killer trail regardless.

Sick Video Dude! I love all the different camera angles and shots (its defintley what I try to make my videos like). I think you could turn the hip into a straight jump and build up a berm a bit further down the trail to catch you!

Just found your channel and hit the sub button. Love the content and production quality, something I am always trying to improve myself.

Dude this video series is absolutely insane I've only gotten into mtbing in the last 3 weeks and these vids really make me wish I had some land to do this kind of stuff. Keep up the good work bro cant wait to see more

Dude thats so cool

The mini excavator is so good for what you doing

You should make a hip landing onto the berm after the roller to boost. Such a sick video man 🤘🤘

Great vid

Great video! I would suggest a small wooden berm/mini wall ride to roll around the bend from the jump, adds another feature and means the rider will keep good speed as they wont have to brake (or brake as much) for the corner

Once again another amazing video. Keep it up man!!! Love the vids!! I’m guessing the next feature is a little wallride🫣 or a huge steep berm😬

Great video. Like the drama! Maybe ask Aggie what she thinks for the jump???

Hey Cutlaps, just found your channel. Loved the first 2 episodes I've watched. Cheers! Looks as if you're a little further down the coast somewhere from me. I'm in Kiama. I'm headed back down to Dalmeny again in April. I know there's great things getting built amongst the already existing trail network down there.

Move the jump back on the trail (still off to the side), use the backside of the roller for the landing (you may need to move this further forward on the trail to balance it out), still a slight hip back into the mainline, but it will get rid of issue with the next corner being too close and line you up better.

Use some old trees to make the catchment berm bigger without having to use so much dirt. or alternatively make a wooden berm that serves as a bit of a shark fin jump to send off of as you have plenty of speed through that section 🙂

It 's so own!!

So cool, bro

love how you reply to so many comments keep it up

Yes Luke! The thumbnail on this one was on point. Your 3D work is brilliant! Must agree re the rake-hoe. I used to work summer forest fire crew and they were a regular for making fire breaks. Great tool! Was the shot flowing over the jumps cable cam, drone or just gimbal? Thoughts re the jump: 1: dig out the inside of the next corner and stack it into a steep berm you can rip around to stay on the track. 2: make it more of just a straight jump by digging out the right of the hipped landing and stacking it on the top of the landing. Then just have that section stay straight a while longer before joining back on. Keep up the good work. I appreciate the quick succession in which the last few episodes dropped 😍 Sam.

killer vid, im sure you will work out the flow of this hip, even if you turn it into more of a racer jumper

I just found your channel and binge watched all your videos . It's hard to believe this is your first go at building , the trails and features are absolutely perfect. My wife and I just bought 74 acres here in Georgia, U.S and I am wanting to build trails like this. I have a backyard bike playground dream as well and can only hope I can achieve the level of flow and stoke as you have. How often do you post ?

Angle that jumped hard to the left making a shark fin. Then the catch berm should be built up as the landing and that will set you up into the corner turning right. So a transfer from the inside of the trail to the outside of the trail in mid air over your pump bump

just found ur channel, love it man great quality videos. As much as I love living in the UK (no snakes, or nasty spiders ;)) i wish i could have some land to play about on, dream to build tracks keep it up

aye that jump looks mint though ,you could make that jump run down the hill from the landing and maybe be do a trail gap 😱

Maybe drop a rock in there for a nose bonk or tail tap. If you make it a slower tech jump the catch berm will be fine

If you could jump as far as you anticipate shredders traveling, the landing might feel alright. But it's creating a step that's throwing you around abit by not getting that distance. I'd dig it out more, with a radius instead of a flatbank at one continuous angle to where your landing. More of a shark fin lander. Enjoying your content!

I think your content is amazing and u inspire me so much. I think u should make it a bridge from the jump to the landing so u can role over it at high speeds and still get air

Could you possibly have a raised wooden feature to land on that cuts the corner a bit and makes it a bit more of a straight line? Might have to remove a small tree and squeeze it between the others. 🤷‍♂️ Or make a second line that hooks left off the landing and cuts straight down the hill with a big jump over the trail below. 🤙

Nice to see you used the mattock to mix the sifted dirt my idea from couple episodes ago trail looks absolutely sick and maybe with the jump instead make it a step up to drop just heading straight if there is enough probably wouldn’t be though

Love the videos how can you make jumps look so good

You should make another roler for your landing 😊

Wow Thais Looks Petty floooowyyy NICE 🎉

Straight jump just looks like it would fit there better. That trail looks so smooth and flowy though, would love to ride it

Wow, this is really nice. I have been trying to find some more Aussies that are building trails. I live in Far North Queensland, and the ground here is sun-baked and about as easy to work with as concrete. Really want to get a mini excavator, it would make life so much easier.

When you hit the jump on the berm if you roost it it should make it eaisier

Im happy because of you

That second takeoff looks prime for sessioning, i could see someone aiming higher and higher and more tweaked on the landing too haha

WOW this channel is AMAZING!!! You definitely earned my sub. How much land do you have? Also what would you say your average slope angle is on your property?

Sick features man, If you wanted you could shape the kicker into a shark fin going left then have the landing curve back right on the left side of the trail so it reconnects with the trail immediately. Shark fins are not the easiest to do though. Hope I win the t-shirt and im already stoked for ep14 🔥

hi. this video is great. i was wondering what type of mini x that is? thanks.

@1:10 Glad to see the tool mounted shot is back! (And that song is becoming a classic too, love it) … But how did the camera not flip when the McLeod flipped?

i might buy a tshirt, they look great!

Move the lip back , so the back of the roller acts as a down ramp. Then you should still be able to catch the right hand berm

We need a bike tour.
