Posted this in 'Trail Building' for some kid who wants plans for building a foam pit, thought I might smash it in Phat Snaps too!
Foam pit. Its fun! made it by levelling the ground with bob cat, digging post holes for poles. the base was made of crates laid evenly over the whole 10m x 6m (60sqm) area with wood slats (to stop water touching the foam) on top of them for extra/even support for the tires that were laid on top of them. Next, mattresses spread out over the whole area followed by a sh*tload of foam received over the time spent planning and building. More bails have been added when needed.
And course a 2m wooden upramp is always helpful! especially when it gets graffitied with mandatory advertisement spam by the owner of Leaf Cycles Australia himself
