Joshemerytrials Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I’ve got a few pallets. But what else have people made to get some nice stuff to ride on? Could do with a balance beam almost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottleneck Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 That is the best thing about trials I think - you can ride almost anything with some creativity! Pallets are good in the sense that you can stack them in many different ways to change the course around when you get bored. Also, tires are great, especially the big ones from trucks and tractors. If you're building your course in your backyard, it might be difficult, but concrete blocks and big rocks are also pretty good. And don't forget tree trunks My backyard course also includes my dog's doghouse (she isn't too happy about it though). You can look up trials courses online for some inspiration, especially the one of Radical Bikes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_t Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Boxes are easy to make and don't shift around like pallets. Definitely recommend making a balance beam. Teaches you a lot of techniques. I also made a box with a half round/ barrel shape on top which is fun. Some pics below, somehow I don't have a pic of it finished but you get the idea! Haha. Everything is made from scrap wood and sheets of plywood and chipboard flooring I pinched from work.

Joshemerytrials Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Dude, good work on the beam. I need to get some scraps from somewhere and start building stuff like that. Looking good in the vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natmangee Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Railway sleepers make excellent "bridges" between pallets and stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
