Hey Hubbers!!
I am thinking about building myself a Trials course here in my back yard!! Have any of you done this before? What would be the best materials to use? Got any tips for me?
All advice will be appreciated!!
Thanks
Behan

while our story doesn't follow a straight line, we all end up in the same place. Tire to ground, foot to pedal, hand to bar – communities drawn together by trails of dirt.

I have found wood is the easiest and best.
easy to construct and change things and it breaks before your bike does if your learning.

1st pic is my first attempt at my parents house
2nd pic is what a friend and I build at the Toyota MTN Bike park, it was really good to learn on, had all the diff heights for forward and sideways moves and lots of gaps to learn on.

Looks like a dream!!! So basically stack a bunch of pallets at different hights and you're good to go?? Or is it a bit harder than that??
