  1. ok, i haven't been on much recently cause i've been working on a small
    trials course in my backyard. i havent actually seen one in person
    before, so everything i built was inspired by movies i've seen. what do
    you think / any suggestions? (ps, i know 3 days to build something so
    small is pathetic, but the everything is from scratch)

  4. it looks pretty good. as you progress you can start making some more
    challenging obstacles so you have something to accomplish.

    I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle.

    there is a challenge.

  7. My son started building one in our yard, he also uses alot of the
    natural debry in the back yard to ride on also. In a way it almost more
    a muni course, minus a few things.

  10. Looks better than my feeble attempt at a trials course!

    Mine consisted of;
    a recycling bin
    four cinderblocks
    two or three 2"x4"s
    a plank laying accross another peice of wood (like a seesaw)
    and some other silly things

    Your's is great. I really should get some pallets...I keep telling
    myself that I will, but I have yet to actually do it.

    I go to a local skatepark sometimes, but it would be really fun to have
    a nice trials course in the side yard.

  11. The best way to get pallets is to go to the biggest stores in your area,
    like a walmart, k-mart. My k-mart is actually better pallet wise then
    my walmart.

    They get tons of pallets a day, and they just put them in the bake to
    ahve them thrown away or recycled. Ask their manager if you can have
    them. Most likely hell say yes. Get a truck and loud up. then youll
    have about 50 pallets to use. =p

  14. Yeah, usually the manager isnt just walking around, so you gotta ask an
    employee to go get him\her. Then just talk to the manager about what
    you plan on doing with them and what not and ask nicely for them, and
    youll most likely get them.

    Or you could steal them... lol. Actually even smaller stores, like
    coffee shops and little places like that would probably be nicer to let
    you have them. Youll just have to go to more stores to stock up on
    them.

    Oh, on the top of the pallets your jumping on, I would nail down a
    piece of plywood, cause I brake the wooden planks a lot, and with a
    layer of plywood, it will save the pallets for a long time.

  16. I think its beautiful to see towers of pallets.

    At my main spot I ride 'The Lion' It is behind a K-mart, so everytime I
    go there, theres stacks of pallets, and everytime I se them I get
    shiver and ride my fastest to them. Then I get a huge adrenaline rush
    as the course is complete.

    Last time I rode there, there were 82 pallets, I dont even think I used
    half of that lol.

  18. You can use 2x4's, just make sure they are well supported, mainly at the
    ends, and in the middle of the boards, and so they dont wobble or fall
    over.
