Nice to see the guys are being safe about using shovels and wearing their helmets.

Where I live you hit a new rock with every swing of the mattock. 2hrs digging would leave you with a pretty short trail!

Yeah I totally agree. Trail building in Aus is fine the best line down the rock garden. No loam here.

Absolutely! But please do it right and work with landowners. Ask any rock climber how easily land access issues can ruin the chance to ride or climb what would otherwise be an amazing spot... That said I'm taking a shovel out this weekend to somewhere I know I can play in the dirt!

Sam, once again....a pleasure to watch.... There were a few shots that were really really good, there were a lot....but the best were your low angle shots just around the time of the slomo dirt shovel shot....Very creative. Keep them coming...

@sampilgrim: What kind of camera do you use? Good to see it takes only 2 hours of digging but feel like it must be at least four of editing ;p Cheers

@AdamOdh: I use the sony FS700 and edit on final cut 10. But yeah the editing is the hard bit!

@sampilgrim: Thats a hell of a camera bro....and FCPX is awesome, I've been using it for years and love it...Keep on editing and the editing will come to you...Less transitions, go for natural ones...So think about that when you are shooting.
My key thought is....."Shoot to edit"
Keep em coming bro, I love watching you muck about....Braaap

sams a legend and its great for their creativity, sponsers and some fans but is anyone else not a fan of the daily videos every athlete releases these days? I think with a video a day quota the quality is no doubt low for the majority of edits, just like ratboys little bit of backlash for his 50:1 vids. Its hard to get excited for an athletes video compared to a few years ago when every time a video with their name on it was more than likely a banger and you would only see a few edits a year

Blame YouTube's monetary policy. More vids = more £££.

@Mayzei: You get around 1$ per 1000 views. That is not that much if you're not one of the youtubers with 1+ million subscribers and hundredthousands of views per video

@sampilgrim: keep on with em, i live through these videos when its to shitty to ride in indiana. I also needed some motivation to get out and dig, I've been talking about it for the last two seasons and this has got me sparked to actually do it. good way to sell it to my buddies who would rather not dig.

@sampilgrim: I agree with that, your reply got me thinking its better to have more content to create and work towards than just doing obligatory sponser commitments, the fact you replied and changed my mind proves you give a shit about the feedback and i respect that

Just say that Santa came late. When she argues respond with...ohhh I guess you know Santa's schedule now too.....? Then duck under the thrown plate and go ride your new bike.

I would definetly love to try and do more of this, but it´s really hard to get most of my mates to build anything at all, maybe your video will inspire them...? Cool edit

It s so funny about the helmets- you guys use piss pots for dirt jumping and normal MTB helmets for Enduro! Piss pots can stick with BMX...
