UNDER PROGRESS: The Unipark

Ganon · 2007-07-25T15:20:57+00:00

There are these woods near my house that no one ever goes too, So I am going to clear out some land and put all my ramps in there and call it a unipark. It is like a unicycle skate park. I make some sick ramps, and a unipark is something I have been dreaming of for a long time. -- Ganon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ganon's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15443 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62929 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Well I only have room for about two ramps right now, and I am planning
on clearing off more land. I don't even have to spend a cent! My
neighbors are donating the materials for the ramps. But the ground is
still really bumpy and I need to smooth it out. Does anybody have
ideas? And what all can you do with pallets?

you stack pallets, resulting in platforms to jump to, or off of, and
also you can neatly fit a 2x4 in the holes on the sides, so you can
extend skinnies off to ride on. Great fun with pallets, go to lowes or
home depot and ask if you can have some, sometimes they're free.

you might have to pay like 25 cents apeice for em, but giving em away
is still cheaper than dumping em so you could get lucky...

FYI, pallets stacked behind a store are not "free firewood" unless
they're explicitly labelled as such. Be wary when taking some, as it
could be considered theft.
Such pallets are property of the store, or the store's suppliers.
Someone had to pay for them, and that someone is likely in the process
of reusing them.

If I take them and but a label that says "Property of Ganon" then they
can't take it because that would be stealing from me.

but there not really yours
tip for smoothing out land: only smooth what you have to level places
to put ramps but not the places in between or put plywood down to cover
up the small bumps
