Backyard Trials-ish

Those obstacles look really good. I'm hoping they stand up to trials
abuse well. Just out of interest, are you going to bother adding little
improvements to the wooden structures?

Well, it's just that in raw wood form, after becoming wet loads and
loads, the wood will eventually get very fragile over time. Surely
maybe, it's OK to varnish it to add a water resistant layer, and then
stip skateboard griptape to certain parts of the obstacles that really
need grip for tyres.

Just a suggestion, but meh. Props for making them though

Those are good ideas. I'm not so sure what to do about the wetness.
Humidity in Oklahoma is really high, so that alone could cause
problems. I'll probably keep them in my garage cause I won't get to use
them every day.

Here's a quick video of me using the stairs and boxes. My grass was wet
so I put them in the street, so one of the stair cases isn't sitting
flat cause of my street. In the grass there's no wobble.

They are expensive because they use only the finest soft drink cans.

Dam good trials skills to match those construction skills🙂

Oh, I spent $90 all together, but I still have like...4 8' long 2x4s, a
sheet of plywood, and like 6' of 2x10 left. I am gonna build a couple
smaller things to play on when I get a chance.

yea, you should have made them out of pressure treated wood. but nice
obstacles, really clean.

Looks awesome!

Also VERY SMARTLY designed. Impressive that you figured out how to
make them modular so they stack and integrate with each other so you
can change up the "course" a bit.

Nice Job 🙂

Nice work, you gave me a few ideas.
We should compile a database of awesome trials courses, so we can share
some cool ideas.
I like the clean look of your obstacles, but the price seems a bit
steep. I about that much in nails and gas for the saws we used to make
'this and more: '
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61039).

Your setup is top notch, and especially for the amount of space it uses
+ storage. I am going to build something like this this summer, with a
few changes for my level.

Paint it. Sprinkle with sand. Then paint over that. This proved to be
none slip on a wet rocking surface. 🙂
