A challenging build and an even more challenging feature to ride on my backyard MTB trail.

YOUR DAD IS THE GOAT

Love the honesty with the internal monologue followed by the POV approach to the jump.

It actually gave me that feeling we all get when hitting a new feature.

You can actually build this without having to mock it up somewhere else. Physics to the rescue! Your bike is a projectile once it leaves the launch ramp, which means the horizontal velocity is constant and equal to whatever speed you leave the ramp at. You can translate your hoz velocity from your 30 degree ramp. Your vertical velocity is determined by gravity. Your bike is going to slow down vertically once you leave the ramp and then half way across, it will start to fall back down as gravity accelerates it down. The variable that ties the vertical and horizontal together is time. You can calculate how fast you need to hit the ramp to make it across. If the gap was 6m across, your brain never would have let you send it. If you worked it out on paper before, then you would know that you could make it. Great video by the way!

The landing needs to be raised and leveled so that the transition on to a hill that’s slightly rises is less dramatic. So raise it up the landing about maybe half a foot or maybe 1 foot higher and more level before it starts to climb the hill.

Wow, amazing! Me and my little brother look up to u so much and don't tell yourself that's a small jump. All our friends support u and you deserve all the love. Keep up the good work mate, me and my friends are trying to build a track just like yours!

I my self am not a mountain biker but I enjoy watching you build and shape your trail. I do not have any mountain biking experience and no trails near me but I would have a good time learning and changing my self continue the good videos hand rip those trails

I'm not a huge MTB guy but always when a new video comes out from you I get a massive desire to go to my local MTB park. Keep on making these videos I love them.

When you jump, you absorb the takeoff with your arms. Thats why your nose goes down and you don't get any pop of the jump. Try having your arms mostly straight as you pull off the jump. Practice makes perfect🙌

Almost a million remember I congratulated you when you were starting out and said soon a million!! Love all your videos

YES! Another epic build and video!!! Great job clearing that gap! I like your drill music at 2:20 and at 12:53 Kudos to your Dad for being an awesome camera man, MacGyver handyman, and crane driver. Sneaky with the clues this time. I disregarded what I needed expecting a theme, but got it eventually. It’s hard to enjoy the first view, focusing on clues instead, but it’s also really fun!

Pfffttt that's an absolutely awesome gap regardless of what exists in the world, you felt like you were hitting something at darkfest and that's the greatest feeling in the world! It's beautiful as well, so proud of you man, you push your limits so often and that's what it's all about. Incredible channel, incredible guy 🤘

That jump looks sick! This has gotta be the best trail building channel out there in my opinion! I’ve been watching for about a year! Great work man!

@JeffersonMcjeff 2 years ago

when i was younger I moved around a lot, but when I came to Australia I really needed friends, we live in the mountains so there wasn’t that much to do, but one day I was looking at my ‘for you’ page and you popped up, I watched your amazing adventures making a whale tale, and my favourite, the cork screw. Really helped me have fun. Because I live in the mountains the were a couple trails that looked amazing, and I wouldn’t have been able to do any of them if it weren’t for you thanks a lot. You’re a bloody legend!
