Building a Trials course from scratch...need ideas...
while scootin around on my uni yesterday i noticed this old abondoned tennis area behind my building...i had seen it before but it never clicked till now. ive decided to create a trials course in there. i just need some ideas(maybe even pictures) of what to put in there...ive never seen a real trials course. i have a way to get some cheap pallets and theyre doing construction to my building so getting some wood shouldnt be too much of a problem but i just need to kno what i should put in. if anyone has any ideas please reply. thanks -Phil -- trials_uni TRIALS 4 LIFE !

build some skinnies, some sandwich boards, and then get some pallets. then you have a course that you can switch up. personally i have 4 sandwich boards, 2 of them are a foot tall when they are set up and the other ones are about 2 feet tall when they are set up. i have a few skinnies built out of 2x4s and then i built some boxes to jump around on. but pallets will work just as well(if not better) if you can get em. -- unisteez ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisteez's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11988 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49297 |

www.unicycletips.com has some great directions to buidling some structures, other than that you can pretty much use your imagination. Depends what you want to ride on what you end up building. -- muzzle sig. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muzzle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11458 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49297 |

The idea is not to make a permanent course vs. non-permanent course. You want to make a course that you can switch up. This week I think you said you are gapping 2.5 feet, so you build a course with say a 2.5 ft gap. Next week that will be easy and boring, so you don't want permanent. Get/make stuff you can move around. Just get wood and make stuff that'll look interesting to ride on then use more wood to make it stable. Start off little maybe with a couple pallets or whatever (though they are good for working on hop heights they can get a bit boring) then just keep adding and use your imagination. Make something like skate ranch from Tony Hawks American Wasteland.

yeah, just go to some grocery stores and ask the manager if they can spare some pallets. (usually they will throw them in your face) they are stackable and they are easy to move around -- manon1wheel Riley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James_Potter- I fall with my upper body travelling backwards and my lower body travelling forwards from 5' up and hit the concrete with my tailbone and right elbow.

If you want to make it interesting, then get random junk that people have thrown out, like water heaters, car seats, swamp coolers, broken windows, etc. I find that jumping from one pallet to another gets pretty boring after a while. -- Spudman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spudman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10752 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/49297 |
