Backyard trails

[dmc123]

Looks fun Paul. Heres a couple of pictures of a 3 1/2' wooden jump I built. Also got a bunch of trails I made in my woods that are fun and flowy but have a few rock gardens too. Got about 20 yards of fill dirt from a friend play with. Building up my berms and making a table top. Might be the only mountain biking I have for a while.

You definitely got my setup beat, that looks really legit!

I got my fatbike into the action last week. Nothing like jumping a 35lb steel fatbike!

I've definitely been channeling my inner 7 year old since the trails shut down.

I certainly comes in handy for trail work. I like to do a go pro video of the trail but it never looks
Exciting on video.

It's hard to make some trails look as fun as they really are. Maybe setup the GoPro on the ground in one area that looks the best on the helmet video. I find that a screen shot from a wide angle can sometimes show a decent view of the fun you are having.

I dont have enough yard to build trail, but we put a few jumps together this weekend using scrap wood, two deck gates and a couple cinder blocks. Napolean Dynamite style!

Great stuff!

Don't even tell me that is an old Balfa Minuteman?!

Thanks! No, it's an early model Planet-X Zebdi trials bike masquerading as a DJ bike.

I only wish I had the room. When I was younger I had a nice loop at my parents with some nice doubles, drops and burms.

Some great builds. Well done ?

Cheesus man, that's a 'UUUGE huck to flat! Your bike hates you...

Got a bit more work done today. Some pics of the past progress

Looks good man, nice that you have rock to work with.

Hey, same here🙂. I replaced the Planet X overweight fork with an Echo, and I’ve got a bomber fork I occasionally swap on.

Spent a good part of the day working the backyard. Put in three culverts to keep the riding area dry.

I think we have over 20 features now. We are on the same ridge as the sourlands so the rocks are the same.

The real question is to ride up or to ride down the slide ?

I’ll start a conditions thread. Is there a trail map yet?
?

Our side yard pump track is buffed and rolling fast. We've slowly been making everything a little taller & steeper. There's another 60' of track behind this pic with a roller double, table top & a monster roller. Dig to ride ratio is a about 2 to 1 but getting better as time goes on...

Haha, ours is about 50-to-1. We're really just getting this stood up though.
