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!

    much respect for not showing your child's face just through clever camera angles very well done and respectful of your family and her privacy
  • @Asgard961
    The building process was awesome in its own right, but seeing the little one riding on it laughing and giggling warms my heart to a level I just can't describe.
  • @On2Wheeels
    You sir, are by far the ultimate definition of someone living their best life.
  • @Kelvallontan
    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!
  • @ericg4626
    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.
  • So glad you didn't start actually defending non-metric measurements! That's why I have a tape measure with both inches and centimeters. And I love that your kid loved it!
  • @jakethesnake9340
    This video hit me pretty hard and made me tear up a little, just seeing a great dad, building something and sharing his interests with his daughter. Hope I can be as good as a dad as Seth someday.
  • @GeorgeLoch
    Her giggles and enthusiasm are everything. So worth it.
  • @alexford5214
    You have not only inspired my wife to ride, she now wants to build a small trail in our yard. I love seeing her inspired. Thanks ā¤

    Speaking of metric, helltrack was just a couple kilometres up the river from my placeā€¦not A helltrackā€¦THE helltrack. (RAD) Brother, your videos are so awesome, ever since you started releasing a lot of your videos, Calgary has built a lot of pump tracks and like things. I think you have a lot more influence than you realize, nobody had a channel like this before you. Thanks for contributing so much to the bicycle community, dude your kid is so cute I could cry. Much love and respect from Calgary Alberta
  • @reneeschke
    I just love your persistant portrayal of how to incorporate your children into videos without violating their privacy. There just is no debate to me on this topic. And I hope your good example spreads and inspires others. There is a middleground and it does not take away anything from the experience.
  • @coachcoombs
    "Thank you Daddy!" Makes everything worth it every time. Well done brother!
  • @2BlueEyedBoys
    Just warms my heart to hear her excitement. My little ones are a foot taller than me now, but they still love our family rides and bike park vacations. ā¤ā¤
  • @InFlamesrockz
    You nailed it: "the emotianal component, how it looks, how it feels" (2:35). I can remember my son riding a little north shore the first time. He was so amazed, even though it was nothing spectacular for an adult. Great video!
  • @demacherius1
    Seth is right the only way to keep our hobbies alive is get the nex generations into it. Thats why so many riders at skateparks and trails are so nice to kids.
  • @rcranes2227
    Oh, Rebecca's celebrations brought me back to my daughter at her age. Such a fun age. Glad you're enjoying it. They're all great, but you do still get nostalgic for the ones that go by.

    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.
  • My pump track is named "snowblower" because it's what I have to do all winter long šŸ˜‚ It's the greatest thing indeed, you're right Seth.
  • @colinswan786
    "thank you daddy" is all that is needed towards the end of this video. Absolutely brilliant and have fun with you little ones!
