FAT~DAN Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 hey guys,, me and a few others was in town today riding and noticed that the local council had bought in for the day a mobile skateparkl to do a little demo/muck around thinng for us to skate/ride etc,, they questioned trials and what it was and also asked us if we would like a trials/bmx/skatepark to be made as it was origonally just going to be a skate park now they have asked us to draw up ideas of what we would like and to email it to them this is where you guys at home come into it ... get drawing either cad/pencil/pen w.e and post a picture of it so we can have some ideas nothing too mahousive but nothing too small Dan Cheers for your input people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 That's unusually accommodating of the council.Nurture that relationship , and demonstrate that you're responsible , it's great for the public opinion of trials.I hope it turns out decent.

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 get hold of some of the pics from the indoor event and show them to them, that should either get them 100% secured on the idea or scare the health and safety shit out of them...

Shaun H Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Have a couple of large fixed obstacles with a load of other moveable ones so you can always get some new lines every time you get bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Here's a quick mock-up of one that Alexx might recognise, he had it in his back garden (lay out from memory (Y) ) ^ Relatively compact but lots of lines. © Alexx! It's maybe not a complete park, but as the first actual layout in this thread, there may be some good ideas to build on :) The circular thing is a tractor wheel, or it could be a cotten real. What's good is the two central stacks of pallets can be approached from all sides. The lower can be ridden up, side hopped up or form part of a gapping sequence. The higher can be sidehopped if you're getting good, ridden up (if you move the tractor wheel to allow a run up), you can use the pallet ajoining, or the ramp. You can gap up from the lower stack which is seperated by a gap. Thinking about it, the higher stack of pallets, maybe with a lower obstacle/ramp alongside to enable most people to get onto it, creates all the larger dropping moves. You can try and gap drop onto the tractor wheel, or maybe a longer gap could be added. If you had more space, I was thinking maybe you could fit in some elevated beams for riding along and gapping across. I'm trying to remember the Spalding rig which had them (Y) Nice to have it on grass - no need to fear bailing! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
