What to do in your Backyard?

Not quite a trail but as I have 11000 Ha of state forest in spitting distance from my place I just thought it would be a bit of fun to put some riding structures in my backyard (I have a few in the forest after 15 years of riding out there, but some close to home for a rainy day or just to waste some time on a Sunday arvo). I am woiting for a mate to bring a truckload of dirt to finish my little Dj. I thought I would put them up here to see what you other dirt bags have done at home for some self entertainment.

Wow - impressive. I'm in the middle of doing the same thing. Just so I can tool around and practice stuff so that the next time I get to ride somewhere challenging I haven't lost my touch (nerve!). I'll have to show my partner - she thinks a guy my age (old) building that stuff in the backyard is a joke. That is untill she rides it.

Mine's not quite as impressive as that, I might have to make some modifications. Then post some pics......

Nice to see that I am not the only mini track builder. As for the wood try your local sawmill for farm packs (cheep), and the time......... I make it Heh heh heh :cool:


Also some of the larger mills will not rerun off sized wood and it all goes to chip so if you can convince your local mill manager they are doing a community service and you are using the stuff for a community based project they can donate it and all it will cost you is a thankyou note as they are obliged to do some community related stuff.... No Shit
