Backyard WOODEN Pump Track Build (part 3) // 180 Degree Berm and A New Bike!

We have been

build

ing a

pump

way here on the canal and last week we built a 90

degree

berm

. This

berm

ended up having a wall, although now by placing the platform I would gain about an inch of space on both sides. This was nothing that would stop me from putting it together, but it didn't look very good, so I asked them for help and someone answered: Chris Callaway. I sent him the details of the berm and he returned the Mona Lisa to me. of plans so in this video we're going to put these plans to the test and I'm also happy to say that Squarespace is back on board for this one so a big thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring this video one of the great advantages of having a complete set of plans is that we can cut all of our pieces ahead of time instead of improvising, which takes quite a bit of time and also results in different widths of things, so to start we're going to cut out a lot of support. boards, oh and I have a new

bike

so I'll introduce that too as we go, but first let's cut some boards, if you're going to try to do this make sure you mark all your boards, a lot of them look very similar. each other and it will make things work a lot better every time we go to assemble all we're going to do now is measure these pieces right here this little one is the side piece for the structures or for each module and we'll cut one out and then we'll have a template and we'll go ahead and cut out the rest while I was making my berms and cutting these pieces.

I also had something else to do on my new

bike

and I own a local bike shop. called Mountain Bike Shed agreed to help me put everything together while I was busy

build

ing my berms so big thanks to him and Darren who put the bike together if you live in or near St. Louis this is the shop to go to. I highly recommend them, even if you're just stopping by, maybe to check out our new mountain bike park. He's just a few minutes away, so he goes visit the mountain bike shed in Eureka. Well, guys, yes you have.

I hadn't guessed it anymore. My new bike is the Alchemy Arctos. It's a beautiful short travel 29er that Alchemy kindly sent me to test. I've been keeping an eye on alchemy for quite some time now because of how amazingly beautiful they are. Bikes are and I really wanted to try one of these. Clearly this thing gets a 10 out of 10 on an absolutely incredible scale, but we'll put it to the test once we have our companies built, so let's get back to it. For that, we have now cut out all of our structural walls and now we need to cut out the deck.

For this we'll need to establish a center line because we want each sheet of plywood and these things just barely fit together to make it easier. I have a chalk line, so what I'm going to do is stick it right into this little spot nice and tight, okay, before I do that and lay down a lot more platform pieces. I'm going to put together one of the modules that This way we can see that everything is working correctly, but I'm actually going to go ahead and place my cuts in the sidewalk along the back so that when we push this platform, it will push it towards down is a lot easier than doing nothing at all, let's feel like I'm lying in provocative positions when I talk to you, so since we're done with this one, I'm going to take it outside, I'm going to take it out next to the other berms and then guys, we'll just cut the rest of these. covers and then put the rest together, so it's going to be a big chunk of time doing all of that so we can get this big 180

degree

burn.

Everything on Chris' plans worked almost perfectly, except for one thing, the spacer he was supposed to help with. the spacing of the plates, but it ended up being easier by just measuring and marking where each one would go and now that we have all six modules ready, we can start moving the bomb

track

together again, so let's do it, this was crazy, so that after a few tries. It became pretty obvious to me that I wasn't going to get enough speed to get up the pass, so it occurred to me that dusk was approaching. I want to try to submit this a few more times, but Adam and Dave from Gork Gravity and a mountain bike shed or come and we'll see if we can get this done.

Hopefully they'll turn off some lights and we can send this out into the night and try to get it. Give him hell first. Adam tried after him. I tried it at the old university a couple of times and it was obvious that he wasn't going to understand this either, so next we asked Dave to try it on his G, bye and unfortunately no luck either. Hi, this is Erica, she tried it too and Also, not anymore, so we've pretty much given up on this step for now, so we'll take a little time in the muddy, muddy woods and play with some of the falls and on the new bike we will see how it goes.

After Dave jammed his e-bike, it was time to finally get back to business. I decided to take a step forward. It was a lost cause, so Adam and I went ahead and moved the modules. This made the contract much more radical, so we moved things around again for a while. End game of widening the gap until someone gets hurt, yeah poor thing things got really bad. I had to leave it here. I really liked this setup, so I might think about keeping the inverted up step as a down step in the future, but that's kind of the point.

Isn't the point of these modules that I can move them however I want? And speaking of the things I want, this bike is proving to be amazing, it's super fun and overall a really fun 29er. final verdict since I just received it but I definitely recommend going and visiting their website in the description and talking about websites if you are a youtuber like me or any other creator, we like to do things ourselves but it can be very It's hard to create your own website from scratch, which is why I use Squarespace because of how simple it is to create absolutely stunning websites with minimal time and effort, like dangerously impressive websites, if you're ready to take your business to the next level.

I want to say a huge thank you to my sponsors, you guys are killing the support and I can't thank you enough. Yeah, it's crazy what you do for me, so thank you. I also want to thank Alchemy Bikes for sending you that uh arctos is incredibly awesome and the mountain bike shed for putting it together and Chris for making the plans.

There's a lot to be thankful for in this episode, but I also want to thank you for watching if you haven't already. Go ahead and subscribe because I really appreciate it, but yeah, it all turned out pretty good and I'm excited to fix up the other berms. Yes, that may take a while, but until then I'll see you on the next build.
