Berm Peak: Can I clear the most famous backyard trail in the world?

Last summer I made the biggest jumps of my life twice, first on a Whistler bike parts line and then again on their newly promoted Dirt Merchant Pro line. I would venture to the in

famous

North Shore, where I discovered that taking big jumps doesn't necessarily translate into slow, technical characteristics. Contango I was destroyed there, although I came out beaten and bruised. I thanked North Shore for helping me expose a weak point in my riding that I decided to improve now if I could find a place to practice unless you've been living in a cave for the last year or I don't know, maybe a van which you've probably been following along with our friend Seth as he began building what is now the

most

famous

backyard

trail

system in the

world

.

World Berma, since I knew him, he said that he had a healthy appetite for everything incomplete. No fact is

clear

ly reflected in his own

trail

building like everyone else. I was also out looking at that set and keep adding to the collection of incomplete features of it. As I watched Seth and many other confident riders struggle to ride these features, I realized this was exactly the challenge I needed. If I can successfully ride every feature on

peak

burn, I certainly wouldn't have become a more competent technical rider. and possibly even more importantly, he had the bragging rights of being the only one besides Seth to do so little.

Did I know I had already made my first mistake after seeing the main frame on video? I couldn't understand why anyone would have a problem with that. Wow, definitely. Steeper and shorter than I thought when I arrived. Seth gave me the Grand Tour of the trails and sure enough, things on the Internet are often not the same in person. Oh ridiculous, I can't tell you how accurate your assessment is after getting the terrain situation, it was time to start checking features off my list and whether I liked it or not, I was starting on one of the more technical trails. here.

I think I found the features very out of order, so

most

people would choose them. you say confidently I got here we were working on the whale tail and the order hits a whale tail I had to fight the way I judge the slope is like how close you have to drink on your bike before you start to see what's below from you and it definitely seems a lot steeper once I got on my bike after making quick work of the pucker board. I ambitiously set my eyes on what both Seth and Kevin swear is the sketchiest feature on Albarn Peak.

It's the scariest jump I've ever ridden. All my life, without a doubt, you come to that and now you think you're going to stop and go rescue yourself, but you can't, both Kevin and I crashed the same way, when you run away and crash into the back of the landing. Dave came straight out of the lip, spun his back wheel and went flying with spices. Seth and Kevin are completely devastated by this. I still like my chances, so with our friend Landy holding the current record with the successful attempt on the fourth approach of him. I set my sights high and said I would do it in three, naturally.

Kevin and Seth were pretty skeptical, so Kevin decided to make a friendly bet. I got 20 bucks, that's crazy, I'm okay with that, no one backs out of a bet. I knew what I had to do, oh I hit the brakes, oh okay guys okay it's not easy haha ​​get me there two more runs to equal the record in a single set the new record so it's on now same. I will give it. for you, Alex now has Fanny hitting the

berm

in one go like, oh yeah, for some reason this is Alex's feature, it's real, it's real, you really hit it in the real thirds and I like it, it's really True, he did.

I just paid him. Carrying on Kevin Joe's momentum, I proceeded to cross both the peck jump and the whale tail off my list that same day. This is fun. Seth and Kevin, this jump line is the hardest part of Burnt Peak, but for some reason it wasn't. It doesn't even faze me and yet I'm terrified of my inevitable confrontation with a pit of snakes, a feature that both Seth and Kevin Rhodes are driving for the first time without a single download feature is another great example of this being a thin feature. , twisted and elevated that takes advantage of my every weakness, but for Seth it is a piece of cake, although each path is successful on our first try, you can

clear

ly see the difference, the point is that every rider is different, each with their own experiences unique riding styles that shape the lens through which we view the trails.

It's perfectly clear when you look at how differently Seth and I rate the difficulty of the burnup

peak

functions. I wanted to see how I would rate them versus how Seth would rate them because I have a feeling it's totally different, so let's get started. Hi, it's easier to start with the easiest and my handwriting is terrible, yeah I had a feeling that grandpa's dream is okay so we turned it upside down, grandpa's strength, I mean literally you can reach that without speed, all the speed in the

world

. always works and has a perfect track record snake uh snake pick up I almost forgot I ruined my first fight with the steak yeah, you did, you did, what do you have?

Kevin jumps snake tongue, we could have the same one as me. I don't think we have the same tail, um, yeah, I mean the whale tail, I think it's definitely more technically difficult. Oh, did you brush the tree? But when you do it you never think about it but Elmer Fudd. always thinking im about to die, pecker jump, whale tail, they put us on pecker jump, it's harder than whale tail, you make it harder than kevin's jump, have you crashed on that more than any other feature in Burn PP, that's good? ask well, what did you get?

Although we ranked each feature in a different position, there was one where we seemed to agree that mainframe is the second most difficult feature in the entire recording peak, so many people still don't know what mainframe is, but it is a play on a mainframe like a mainframe but is it the mainframe because getting maimed is getting injured basically beyond recognition oh oh dude exactly what happened to Dave my front wheel spun dude how bad you hurt your knee, just looked at it, did it just work? Next buddy, look at that, I can't believe that just happened.

I thought it wasn't difficult at all of all the features on Burn Peak, who knew they would be this strange pile of wood that got me? Hey, me. I think I've got this, no problem I think you've got this, no problem - we say that and I say that and then this is where I'll crash oh how ironic, after one more try and one more bail I finally had the courage to get in with enough speed that it led me to finally delete it Oh, you didn't, although you barely did, oh my god, the badge, oh, I feel like that should have been your first try.

I had to fight for it a little more today, okay, yeah, as long as I continued. To practice handling the mainframe, I was able to really clean it up and, well, I even started to enjoy the handling at this point. I had checked off most of the futures on my list, but I still wasn't out of the woods before I jumped. Straight into the gap I decided on a first warm up tackling the snake tongue line I built with Seth and Brian a couple of weeks earlier oh man how is it a little wobbly? God, I'm always so nervous about the rear tire, it's never easy. man it's never a walk in the park with skinny pants oh man I've been dreading this do me a favor don't hurt yourself with this why do you have to keep saying things that sound like no no that's it?

There's no such thing as a curse, kid. Although I still wasn't so sure, I started to have trouble and feel it for whatever reason, every time I look at this snake hole, all my brain seems to do is think of all the things that can go wrong and there. that's a lot of yes, yes, yes, good, good choice, after a few sketchy tries it actually seemed like I was starting to get the speed I needed. I didn't commit, but for some reason I still wrapped my head around the idea of ​​jumping. from a skinny on a tree I won't do it today good choice yes, I shouldn't have done more than the three races you question stupid things in my head too many times I have no qualms about hanging myself Lift your helmet for today and I'll come back and get it.

Sometimes the best thing we can do when faced with a seemingly insurmountable task is to simply walk away from it for a while, so that's exactly what I did for the next one. Within a few weeks, summer officially arrived as new life bloomed everywhere on Burn Peak. I too began to feel like I was ready for a new beginning and, although I was still nervous, I took it back determined to conquer the future that once took hold of me. Today is the day. at least I'm trying to tell myself that it's become a thing in my head, so today I just have to get over that, you care about the subject, you got it, would you mind doing it real quick so I can remember a game. visual that didn't make me feel better at all he was so fast man man this could be hard oh man you had the speed and everything and you came in smoothly it wasn't like me I lifted my head you just come in Come on, if you hit that corner, you feel marked, Put the brakes down, come on, come on, just get these dogs.

I can do this. That wasn't even a problem for him. I just decided he was going to do it and that's it. Yeah you know what the deal is, nothing true, I have to do it again, you have to get out again quickly, the best part about finally clearing this feature, I can finally go full speed to the big stance game and with that, my checklist is finally complete. It was a huge achievement for me as it completely changed the way I think about technical writing. Now, instead of being afraid of failing technical features, I get excited about the challenge knowing that I will inevitably become a better writer in the process.

It took tons of serious tech skills. of mental toughness and maybe even a little luck, but after three months of battling Burn Piced, I can't officially say that I'm the second person to clear every single feature, although I have cleared my checklist, some observant viewers may have done so. I noticed there's a feature I left out and don't worry we'll get to that very soon so don't forget to subscribe to my channel so you can watch that video when it comes out, for now it's safe. I say I've officially leveled up my technical writing and there's only one thing left to do, it's time to celebrate with a full turn down, burn the beak, whoa, that was a reminder.

I think it's holy. I always wonder what would happen if someone found out about that and I heard it. Exactly what would happen, yes, my God, I'm very happy to leave, yes, that was it. I lost the pedal completely. Time to get a new bike, yeah saddle bro, oh oh man. I'm going to have to figure out how to do this, is that you? It's okay, I'm perfectly fine. I just wasn't going to get off the bike because I knew better. I've done it too many times and it's like yours knows you can't, if you're broken you can't walk. a perfect bike I've learned that lesson many times you know I think you may have broken your imp so just for everyone watching this video was supposed to end with a grinding type quest sequence haha ​​and we're running out without light.

Here and we just finished you on some preset videos and we thought: I don't see myself putting something in. There are about five minutes of light left. We can get more from my video. When we come here, these guys rush. instead and that was the first run and what you want to hear is the good news. I think the video is over.
