Gapping bars are for practicing gaps between bars. You should be able to
consistently static gap over 1 meter before you start to even think
about gapping bars. If you want to see a video of some gapping bars in
action, click on the link to my gallery in my sig line, and then click
on "trials video clips" (might be a bit different name, I forgot). Once
there, click on any video with "gapping bars" in it. There are two
videos of no-sucess (1 bail and one equip failure), and 1 or two of some
successful gaps.
Don't build your entire trials course oujt of palletes. That's no good.
At first, as you build up your hop and stuff, palletes are fine, but
once you can do about 2' consistently, it's time to start putting some
precise stuff in. Most trials courses are boring to me, as they're all
just a series of big moves with huge surfaces to rest on in between.
Good trials courses should only give you one or two chances to rest in
the course of a long trials line. Most of the lines I build don't have
any large surfaces to take a break on at all. Just a little thing to
think about.
Also, when designing a course, try to make everything modular. YOu have
to build stuff a bit more robustly, but it makes making interesting
trials lines much easier.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
out?
