  1. HI,ive already found some other threads on obstacle course but id
    rather my own.
    today i just made use of some stuff out the back yard and made a trials
    obstacle course. i found-
    A \steel girder
    lots of wood
    a steel frame of a table
    cement blocks
    wood blocks
    wire nets
    tyres
    big rocks

    the problem is that everything is so unstable for example, the cement
    blocks wobble a little and the planks layed across the steel table
    frame are not stable and not connected to it. most things woble, can i
    have any help. i got lots of tools so i dont need to worry about that.

  2. First of all, ditch the thing with the wire fencing - thats no where
    near thick enough to support an type of weight and you are just going
    to get hurt and/or pop a tire on it.

    As far as the cinder blocks wobbling, angle them in ways which make
    sense for which direction you are coming from. Maybe screw the planks
    into the tires to make those more stable.

    You could partially bury some of those shorter blocks of wood and
    bricks to practice hopping accuracy by placing them all at random
    distances. Burying them half way may make them more stable.

    I also wouldnt waste all those pieces of wood on the bed frame, just
    use a couple and use the rest to make some skinnies to ride on, maybe
    place them on the blocks/bricks rather than burying those like I
    suggest previously.

    Also, your new user name. Some people might be upset because its very
    similar to Justin Abbott's (yunisyko) and it may cause confusion.

    Bungee cords, or industrial racheting straps, or something like that to
    tighten them all down.

  7. I'd ditch the cynderblocks...but I haven't felt the same about them
    since one tipped over on me, leaving a nice scar on my left forearm.
