Trials Building Tips

I gotta good supply wood and I'm getting a new trials unicycle. I'm
wondering what kinda things can I build and use. I got some pallets and
bridges but I can't think of anything else to use/make. Suggestions
welcome.

Thanks
David

www.freewebs.com/andrewcarter/home.htm - there's a section in there
about trials obstacles. I've been doing a bit of searching for tips for
the site from these forums and came across this thread that nobody
replied to. By now you've probably built some good stuff, I can't
remember whether or not you have) but in case you haven't check it
out.

I might suggest going through the gallery looking for trials obstacles
or doing a search in the forums under that.

It's also Friday before a big weekend. Readership is way down today and
will be through the weekend. I might suggest pushing this back up on
Tuesday or Wednesday when more people are back in town and "online".

I am just about to start the same thing. I plan on setting up stairs
when stacking the pallets and running a piece of wood between the piles
of pallets. Then I will also build up some of those sandwich boards
Andrew Carter uses in his videos and tips page as in the link above.

I have the luxury of an old tandem student desk from elementary school
that was surplus. You can drill holes in the top to anchor the lumber
and raise and lower the legs quite a bit as needed. There are just 4
set screws to adjust. I will integrate that in there too.

instructions on his site. His site is really all you need.

Whoa, resurection. This is a really old thread. Thanks for the bump.
Andrew thanks that site is great. If you aren't open for suggestions
don't read on, if you are you may continue. You should put pictures with
your building instructions. I know what they all look like but to a
newbie it might be kinda confusing. But other then that, what a great
site.

David

Edit: I just realised you can download the pictures, but I still think
you should put them right there on the site.

Tim,
I'm sure there are loads more excellent trials obstacles that can be
built and instructions out there to build them. It's definately worth
looking. Thanks though.

David,
Thanks for that, I was thinking the same thing the other day. Maybe a
link to a photo of each put under or beside the links to each of the
instructions? I'll talk to Peter about it.
