So what's the message here? That some horrible kids have damaged the
timber ramps and stuff?

Look on the bright side. Chainsaws are dangerous. Perhaps the little
sods will finish themselves off.

I thought they were ramps 'n' stuff that the 15 year olds -built- using
a chainsaw, not vandalised.

So, unicylepa, what's it all about?

were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was

That looks like a lot of fun! 🙂 (well, not necessarily making it, but a
lot of fun to ride on). I don't know of any decent woods near my house
that I could use to build that kind of stuff in, but I really want to
try riding it sometime. By the way, does anyone know if there are any
cool trails with structures in southwest whashington?

That was the first thing I noticed when looking at the pictures. It is
not proper to be nailing into living trees to help support a stunt or
structure.

Here's some pages with trail building and structure building tips and
info for how to do it correctly:
'IMBA Freeriding Guide' (http://www.imba.com/resources/freeriding/)
'NSMBA Trail Tips' (http://tinyurl.com/9y9ts) (see the link on common
mistakes and the link on well constructed structures)
There are also some trails and structure building tips over at
'pinkbike.com' (http://www.pinkbike.com/) but I'm unable to access the
site right now to find them. Take a look around when the site is back
up.

And please don't nail into live trees or cut live trees down to make a
structure. It's not good support because nails easily pull out of live
trees and it's not good for the trees.

Looks good. It looks like the first time you've done something like
this, so you got a bunch of guys to tell you what you did wrong...
you'll learn and make even better ones in the future. Good work! 🙂

Here's the building guide at PinkBike that I was referring to: 'Building
Trails for Fun and Karma'
(http://www.pinkbike.com/stories/trailbuilding.htm)

One big problem I see on some local trails is structures being built
with weak wood that can't take the abuse of being used over and over.
Planks in the ladders will break or come loose. Supports will become
wobbly. The structure starts out ridable and sturdy but quickly
deteriorates and becomes an eyesore beside the trail that no one can
ride because it is in complete disrepair. If you're going to build
something build it to last. Use screws instead of nails. Nails come
loose when the wood expands and contracts from repeated cycles of
getting wet then drying out. Build it solid and build it to last.

Feel free to use stainless steel ring shank nails, which are
recommended by the American Plywood Association for permanent exterior
wood construction. Very strong, excellent holding power, and
expensive.

Amen to that...... A lot of people will use whatever they think is the
cheapest way out and don't think about the maintnance nightmare they are
creating. Screws cost more than nails however if you build with screws
you will find that you use less screws than you would use nails. Plus
they tighten the whole structure down in a way that nails cannot.

We use nothing but McFeely ( www.mcfeelys.com ) square drive screws for
all our stunt building. If we had built the following newest structure,
this elevated berm with nails it would probably already be needing
repairs. With screws however it is still good as new.

[image: http://www.orgautomation.com/images/Josh_Wood_berm.jpg]

I also agree with John on staying away from attaching your stunts to
trees for support. Beyond the potential damage you could do to the tree,
if you're the hippy type, using trees usually is the result of wanting
to get it done as quickly and as easily as possible. That usually
results in sloppy rickety structures. Learning to build solid elevated
trail without using trees for support is real hard at first but over
time it will make you a better builder.

All that being said, it's a nice looking stunt and a great start! Keep
one building, that is the best way to get better and better at it.
