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...
