Make sure to have an assortment of lines for riders of all abilities.
It would be disappointing for some riders to have a course where every
line is too difficult for them. Start with some pads / stumps / blocks
with gaps of just a few inches, and work your way up from there.
At the other extreme, it would be good to have a line or two that no
rider would be able to complete. If the competition ends with several
riders completing all lines, and a tiebreaker must be used to determine
the winner, then all you've had is a tiebreaker competition, not a
trials competition.
Ping Corbin for his trials course gallery (if you don't have the link
already) for some ideas... although it makes heavy use of trees.
What kind of materials do you have to work with? How much space do you
have for your trials course? Once we know these things, then it might
be easier to make suggestions for you.
