track building tips

[crackatinny]

well i convinced mum to let me make a track in the back paddock!!, problem is its in a shitter of a spot. i live on a very steep hill! which is also quite rocky so it is gonna hurt.
i has anyone got some advice to help make it more gooder? things like how long, jumps?, ect.

i have about 2 or 3 acres to play with, but most of that is way too steep.

when i have it half decent i will definitally organise a day for people to have a crack. who knows it may turn out awesome!

Post up some pics of the land to give everyone a better idea of what u have to work with.

okay here are some pics of what i have to work with..





this berm is gonna be huge cos it is right at the bottom of the slope



the camera is level, just to show what sorta slope im talking about

that will be sick for a track to be on. sorta like mine.

what i did was rode it out on the quad to find the path i want to take. then go out on ya bike and carve it up and make any adjustments needed. then use what ever you have and start building the stuff you want on it.

my track i made today. theres mine i did all the with a shovel, trailer and a quad

and also with the rocks. once you have it set out just go round and pile them up somewhere out the way.

yeah you can work with that, atleast you dont have tree's like I did! check my vid in my sig, Im in the hills so I had to make it on a slope too.

that is a wicked place for a track.....those rocks=obstacles, the longer the track the better be creative dont make it easy.....hills are great for tracksa

If that berm is at the bottom of the hill be careful the your not just building a dam, you should have entries or exits able to allow water to run down hill

yeah Flarry and Sheepy, ive watched your vids, they look great. i will just have to spend some time out there on the weekend making a good route.

i have some ideas for where i want the jumps.

i think i have alot of work to to, the ground is either hard as phuck, or slippery mud. there is one corner i get bogged in all the time and have to get off and push to get out.

that looks like a fun place.. i can just picture a huge step down going down the hill launch off the top! and a step up going up have fun building would love to see pics of the end resault.
