Twitch-119 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Crates, there very good, and i reckon if you pop down to your local diy store (focus, B&Q) they'll be happy to give you some, but not sure, havent tried yet? and i think you could buy some of an internet site if your willing to spend a bt of money, i hear there quite expensive, but you can always rip them apart and put them back together in some trialsy way if you get bored of just squares? the possibilties with crates are literally endless!

matt tomlinson Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 at least here in the americas pallets seem to be really big. you can buy them or get them free from most lumberyards around here. they are really easy to shape and definitely are sturdy and movable. if you have the funds a couple of nice boxes (potentially also called fun boxes in europe?) are also really fun to ride. most of the man made stuff my friends and i ride is built out of reclaimed wood or the wood that is slightly warped from lumberyards. once you start building the possibility's are endless.

Plus i weigh about 15 and 1/2 kg. Thought i might as well try it and see what happens. LeeW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franksx2005 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 How about a park bench, you could even use it to sit on when your not using it for trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessy Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) As other people have said pallets are a good start, but if you are serious about it then tyres and logs would be good to add a bit of variety.
