Blake: Welcome back, you beautiful people.
Welcome back to my rear garden where I've built this, an assault course for myself and
my bike, challenges to conquer my fear of balance.
Let's kick it off.
[music] Before getting to all that rad goodness, I'm
going to show you how I built it and what I've got to build this stuff, because I've
pretty much just got everything from inside my house, in the garden and in the garage.
I didn't just buy this wood just for this.
I bought this wood so I can deck out my garage, which hopefully those videos are going to
come soon.
The stuff I've got is I've got some drills.
I've got some carpet.
I've got some ballast.
I've got three bags of ballast.
I've got building sand.
Obviously, I've got my bike and I've got my work stand.
I've got two mini kickers.
I've got six scaffold boards.
I've got some 2-inch square wood.
I've got some miscellaneous wood.
I've got some stands, some cutting stands.
I have my little man slide.
I've got four plastic chairs, my trusty three bins.
I've got these big round reel things, which I am going to make a nice garden table out
of it, so I can eat outside, but that's another one.
I've got one board of 18 mm ply.
I have a slackline and I've got loads of straps, so I can strap everything together.
The aim of the game is I need to get from here because this is safety, I can't touch
the grass until I get to the wall.
My aim is to get to the wall and back without touching the grass because the grass is lava.
Let the time-lapse begin.
So far, we've got a skinny into a landing.
I want to get up onto the wall, but it's going to be quite scary, but I want to make it as
safe as possible.
I don't want to go and make it super crazy and I can't do it.
Look.
Kicker.
That's the landing.
This is the skinny.
Come up here.
Give it a hop hop.
Up.
Ride along.
Go down and then somehow get up onto the wall just a little bit.
Then drop down on the other side of the bush.
Come around and someway get through here and then back to safety.
That's my plan.
Let's carry on building.
These reels, these big round things, I want to stand them up like this and make a seesaw,
but I don't know how I'm going to do that without these things falling over.
Maybe if I just stand one up with some scrap wood and then-- I figured it out.
I figured it out.
I'll just put you there.
Watch this.
[music] This might be difficult, making these things
stand up.
Screws and some wood, that's what I need.
I kept those things.
Yes.
Just still need to get that thing up and I definitely need to screw it in.
I definitely need to screw it in.
A bit of a pickle.
I need to call the wife to come help me.
She needs to hold this, so I can pick up that one you.
Jen.
Please.
[mumbling] You got it?
You're sure?
I will be quick.
Keep holding it.
Thank you.
This is pretty strong-ish.
Braced in.
This is going to be the seesaw.
It's square, but hey man, I haven't got anything else.
Let's get this piece of wood on there.
Then we've only got one more of these, these boards are left, and I don't know if it's
going to work.
There you go.
Hopefully ride off that and then it will just go down.
It goes back up.
That is going to be so, so scary to ride.
Look at it.
Ride up and then you go war-bang.
That is the aim of the game.
This is my plan.
I've just got to get from the wall.
I did do this.
I set up my trusty bins, but I think I need little bit of speed for that.
I think I need a little bit of speed for that.
[music] Done.
That is the final bit and I didn't use that or this.
I did think I was going to use that to-- I go underneath, like a limbo pole.
Might set it up there, but I just don't want to make it too sketchy.
Let me walk you through the course.
Walkthrough.
Step.
Can't touch the grass.
Up, up this.
Over the top of this.
Down here.
Up here, along the wall.
Going to drop this to flap.
Then I'll go front wheel there and back wheel is going to follow there like this, over this
mini kicker, along the skinny, into the seesaw of doom.
Like that.
Across here.
Across the bins.
Down and complete.
Attempt number one.
This is going to be hard.
First change.
I actually don't like those ones.
Shinned myself straight away, so I'm going to put a skinny there.
Attempt number two.
Attempt number three.
This skinny is hard.
Attempt number four.
I can't even do the first obstacle, man.
Five.
Oh my-- I guess sometimes my imagination is way more crazier than what I can do.
I've eliminated getting on the wall and I've created this, a little rat run, to get across.
I've put these boards like this, so I can hop like that and then try and get to the
seesaw of doom.
Let's try this again because I started at 10 AM and it's now 2 PM and I haven't even
had lunch.
Take number 200.
[music] Okay.
I go as far as the seesaw.
That thing is a challenge.
Back then you have to go so high up to let it come down to land on the bins.
That fixed, can do this, can do all of this can do this corner bit right here.
That challenging as very challenging.
You can see I have to get my back wheel to stay there.
Front-wheel on there, move my front wheel, and bring my back wheel around here.
That is so challenging.
All the skinny stuff's pretty easy apart from this.
I'm yet to conquer this.
I have to do the whole thing again and come up and get in there.
I have to go up with some speed.
I can't go too slow because I'll just stall.
All right, let's do this whole thing again.
[music] Blake: Arrg.
Damn. [music]
Blake: [laughs] Yes.
Finally.
I finally completed it.
It's 3 PM.
I started at 10 AM.
Woah, yes.
I can just be going to remind you when you're building stuff in your garden or out in the
street or in your house just make sure you do it responsibly because you don't to be
building something that's too gnarly and dangerous and put your safety and in jeopardy.
You don't want to do that.
Just build stuff nice and safe.
Yes, finally completed the see-saw actually worked a trip going on the bin obviously it's
like riding on some cobblestones.
It's that loose.
This bit, super good, that bit challenging, this bit over here on the corner I'm telling
you this bit right here man awesome try skills from Mr. Samson, then you just go drop this
thing to fly right along this up the skinny but you have to get quite fast on it because
you don't want to stall and stop.
There you go.
That is my Assault Course done in my rear garden.
Hopefully, you enjoyed this video.
If you have, let's us know down below in the comments if you want to see more of this because,
to be honest, I don't want to damage my wood anymore because I need to start doing my garage.
I don't want to destroy my wood because that's my worktops and riding on my worktops.
Give us a thumbs up like.
If you loved this remember to stay safe wash your hands.
Do all that rad jazz and just stay safe.
I'll see you next one.
See you.
