In addition to the neat natural areas we have to ride around here I am going to add to my own personal little Trials Mecca. Out on the back of my property is some nice rocky areas with some grade to them but LARGE fallen trees are not in abundance so I obtained some RCP (concrete pipe) from one of our construction sites. No I have some nice "logs" of about 24" diameter in lengths from 4' to 8' sitting on my trailer 
The next step is to drag them to their final resting place and enjoy. Now if I could just find a nice almost vertical rock wall about 8' high...:think

The only thing that I'd need an 8' foot wall for is to keep the neighbors out.
Snap a photo or two of your riding area, I'm looking for ideas. I have lots of trees, but no rocks in my back yard :whiner:

I live on 20 acres of real rough rocky ground, and I've built about 1/2 mile of trail so far. Lots of it is up and down a real rocky gunyon but I have found that I can now clean most of it, and I'm looking for tips to make some more challenging obstacles. There are a few fallen trees, and I've been doing the double blip and a very awkward looking jap-zap or two over them. Do any of you have any tips for building practice things like maybe using logs? I'm trying to get everything the local club can through at me covered but my terrain isn't the same as theirs is sometimes.
-The 8' wall to keep the pesky neighbors out would be good too lol. I guess if they start giving me greif I can fire up the 426 and take all the discs out of the silencer, the Gas Gas would sound like music after that eheheh.

The 8' near vertical wall would be good for practicing decents (I'm chicken). I've got a 60'-80' variable past vertical wall but I think I'll hold off on it for a bit 
I'll get some pictures when I get these things placed. Only delema is that they are more than I can get with the loader on my tractor so I'll need to pull them off the trailer and drag into position.
I wasn't expecting this class of pipe which goes almost #200 per foot 
Oh well I guess they'll stay put :confused:

For a while there I thought you were climbing that 8' vertical I too would love to see pics...if I can only convince the wife that concrete pipes and large logs would look better in the yard than grass and garden. :think

Ahhh, You see that is what the back part of the property is for. If it's within view of the castle I'm sure the queen would have my head as well.:confused:

Easy solution - build the 8' wall between the house and your practice area
I plan to make a rock garden down the bottom of our section one day, I just have to convince the wife that the kids will love to play down there:think
