It doesn't need to be as extravagant as those above.

mine is extremely extravagant, but small so i don't ride it much, I'm
actually going to take it apart and use the wood ...don't worry... i
have places to do trials, and i don't like pallets. my friend and I
made a crazy setup in his front yard, but i don't think there are any
pictures of that and its gone now.

I have 20 something (ish) Pallets, a fun box, multiple metal rails, a
ramp, a lot of 2x6's and an endless supply of small logs and things
like that at my disposal that I move around all the time. I have to
drive to collect the logs but it would be so cool the saw them in half
like Danni did.
I could post some pics.

Here ya go, Really simple, a couple logs, skinnies and a sandwich board
that I just built (I'm going to make more). I wish I had a empty lot
somewhere where I could build a cool trials course.

Hmm.... I wish I had more room, I have two Giant cable spools, and some
2x4's, my old bed frame, and a crappy ramp made with junk wood, an old
grind rail from when I attempted to learn to skate, oh and a little
seesaw thingy but I have no room to ride with all that stuff back there
and some of it is too heavy to move on my own (the bed frame and the
largest of the two cable spools) I'll try to get pictures of it all
soon.
