Mitch21 Posted January 10, 2010 Share This is what I have built. I want to build the wooden landing, then lead it into a wooden kicker onto a massive softish sand landing. It will be the best for practicing tricks. http://is.pinkbike.com/photo/2521/pbpic2521950.jpg http://is.pinkbike.com/photo/2521/pbpic2521975.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch21 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Thanks man, it just sucks because of the sand. Its really crappy and I cant build proper DJ's with it. Thats why im going to have a wooden drop landing, and a wooden kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted January 10, 2010 Share i see what looks like a lot of power pylons in the background which suggests a power station is nearby, like koeberg. So maybe he out near tableview side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted January 10, 2010 Share dude: if you ever need some hands for building stuff, just gimme a shout. holy crap that place has MASSIVE potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch21 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Yep it does ey. But I have been struggling for years to establish it into a DJ/Freeride spot which just isnt happening, because of the sand issue. For now Im going to concentrate on the wood part of it until I can find some decent dirt. Then i might want to hire a bobcat to move stuff around. At the moment its a mess down there. All dry, sandy, and the ground is FULL of thorns. So when winter comes ill get my friends quad out and just tear up the ground and make a new beginning.

DownhillingKing Posted January 10, 2010 Share Yho thats cool did you build the ladder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch21 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Yup I did, I got all the 2x4's off pallets. And I got the support poles from the poleyard. What I would like to do also is build a wooden start point on the top of that hill which the ladder bridge is coming of. Then I can take that piece of ladder bridge that is touching the top and connect it to the higher wooden platform which will mean that you ride off the platform onto a downwards sloping ladder bridge section, then into the flat part, and then drop off. So the downhill part will mean you wont need to pedal much, if not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
