    Im trying to build a track, havent done much yet. But at least i have a jump, soon 2.
    Im trying to figure out what else i can build\make to make the track fun and interesting.
    Wondering if some of you have advice or maybe pics\video that inspiration from.

    The plan is to have couple of jumps, every track needs a jump. :p But want to have some enduro-elements to.
    I can say that we are not pro's. So climbing a 5 meter high wall then a 15 meter jump isnt realistic, at the moment. :P
    So,, yeah... Any advice?
    Thanks. :)

    Good for you.
    Suggest making your track so that you can use it in both directions- this gives you twice as much.
    Count the turns and see if you can make it sort of 50% left and 50% right hand turns.
    Add off camber, change up the terrain if you can with some sand turns and some hardpack
    It takes more work to build tabletops but they are safer than spikey 'penalty' doubles. Have fun!
    Last thing- consider the neighbours on the sound /visibility issues. Some people hate to see ohers having fun. Remember to try different settings on your suspension.

    Logs set out in a square an several at jaunty angles bound to catch ya out.
    Old tyres to get used to awkward kicking from the back end, varying boulder garden you gotta love em!
    A pond dip with slick clay on the otherside that will be fun.
    Drop some oil drums on there side across the track to mount or tyres on edge or concrete sewer tunnel stuff.
    Low hanging trees and tight trees will get ya moving bars and body insync.

    How much ya want? Northern shore boarding with drop off's
    Hop ups the other way.
