Backyard build

Post by RamP »

I decided to give myself a reason to use our backyard. Just started today. There will be a tabletop jump where the course crosses over.

Looks awsome, cant see the grade but hopefully it carries your water away, I keep telling the wife I wanna move so I can build a track, this is what follows :lol: :roll:

Yeah the yard slopes away from the house so drainage is not a problem. Ill clear the dirt away from the sides and use the 4" black pipe for a border. I'm trying to work out the best way to smooth and solidify the track though. I'm thinking a powered tamp would be best. Has anyone here used one before? How are the results?
