Undun Posted December 4, 2021 Share Burms... Big ones.. into small double jumps. Then grow the jumps bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted December 4, 2021 Share Table tops! Fun for the jumpers and pretty safe for the non jumpers. Everybody likes berms. Bomb holes - make sure there is drainage. Pump sections. I built a 500m track at my house and it is amazing what you can build just using the stuff you have lying around (I lived on a plot so there was a bit of a selection). If you have a slope put the fun stuff on the way down and have a pretty direct route back to the top where you can give it some gas - interval training AND fun...

Grumpy4 Posted December 6, 2021 Share I have built a mtb trail 2.7km , by hand my gardener and I now started adding fun sections. Started during lockdown, key is make it flow and use the topography to your advantage, and table tops , berms and gap jumps are key but have alternate lines Around obstacles for beginners. Easy part is creating harder part is maintaining the growth of weeks and the like , make path nice and wide so u limit encroachment of weeds and grass. Also see if anyone can drop of soil in key spots that’s helps a lot , and get more from cycling community involved it takes a lot of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted December 6, 2021 Share A small bobcat will do wonders in helping build and layout the trail, then you can just ad features. Use the bobcat just to clear vegetation then have a look at the natural line and decide what to ad where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour of love…was proud when I saw a child or grown-up use it. I am a desk jockey, left thumbs, was proud of the shovel work. Unfortunately the School decided a rugby field more important…still no field.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
