obstacle course building

[EigerMike]

so im looking for any ideas on building a course to pratice on at the house. have a dirt pile that we put a few mid sise logs in that made a nice shelf but im looking for more ideas. what you guys think?

[Mr. Green]

a teeter toter, a double up to a table top, a few burms in order for some cornering. Hmm.. I keep thinking more of track stuff.. instead of obstacles. Do you have an old car laying around that would be fun to wheel over.

i think this would be the ideal obstacle course of course scale it down a bit for atvs's

I think you should add the mud and logs together as in the video

[EigerMike]

You should contact a local pool company and let them know that you want rock and when they dig some out to drop it off at your house usually they they will do it for free

Add a chair like this one:



That is your Wifestacle. Your wife sits in it and rattles off reason after reason as to why you can't go riding today: you have too many honey-dos to do, you never spend time with her, she's tired of you coming home after a ride and getting mud all over everything, riding causes you to spend too much damned time talking about riding on this board (even less time with her), you spend way too much money on gas/tires/quads/repairs, and now... you want to waste a bunch more time and money building an obstacle course?!?

If you don't have a wife, then put one of these in the chair, pretend it IS your wife, and be thankful that it doesn't talk and can be used for other things:

I was gonna ask why you have a blow up doll. But maybe I don't want to know. What happens in Truckee needs to stay in Truckee

LOL. Too funny Eric.

LOL! I actually don't have one, but when I heard about this:

USGS Publicizes "500-Year Storm" Catastrophe for Sacramento Valley

I figured I might pick up a few to use as emergency flotation devices during the upcoming flood of biblical proportions. Then I heard about this:

Sex doll ditches rider in Yarra River

Sydney, Jan 17 (IANS) An inflatable doll blew up in the face of a woman riding it down a flood-swollen Yarra river in Australia when she lost her latex playmate in a rough patch, prompting the authorities to issue a warning that such sex toys are “not recognised flotation devices”. Police and an emergency services crew were called to the rescue when the woman and a man, both 19 years old, struck trouble at about 4.30 p.m. Sunday, The Age reported Monday.

Now I don't know what I'll do. A real emergency raft isn't too useful in between floods.

Take a deep breath Eric.....

Then repeat after me....I live at 8000 feet....I live at 8000 feet.....

[EigerMike]

heck that doll looks to have a couple of obstacles, and maybe a mud pit too!

LOL, yeah I was just kidding about the rubber raft and sex doll. The USGS report predicts I-80 would be flooded for many miles (ex: north fork Yuba flooding), but we'd be high and dry up here on the ridge. It's kind of an interesting report, I thought they were joking at first but they are serious: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2010/1312/

Hmm. McClintock talks Auburn Dam, USGS releases horrific flood prediction. I smell a conspiracy here.
