A Trials Project

I see some posts on what lads have done for sections in their back yard.

These are pictures of sections I have built over the past 12 years, in my back yard.

This creek is all concrete mixed a bag at a time and stones set in, the water is from the land drains but only runs when it's wet.

I have a few more to post Nigel, but all the obsticals were trees or rocks traded or got off the property, when we bought the property in 89 it cost $90,000, about 60,000 quid, worth a lot more today, but it would cost the same or more to move to somthing like, if you move further out of town the lower the price gets.

It is all on less than three acres, with two sections on the other side of the house.

In all I have built eight sections, most of them have multiple lines but my favorite and the one I ride most is the creek, it's hard to clean more than once in a row.

Under the trees stays firm all year but gets slick as snot on an ice cube this time of year.

Some parts I don't ride if real wet as I don't want to turn it into a mud hole.

The whole idea is if someone who didn't know saw it they would just think it was landscaping.

Bikespace, when we first bought the place you couldnt walk down the back it was so overgrown with blackberries and weeds, bit by bit I cut sawed and burned my way thru it.

As it got cleared I started making sections and tried to keep it looking nice, I'm proud of it because it was mostly hard work that made it not money.

Quite a few of our club members are buying homes on a bit of land they can make section on. I have seen 20 acre lots near Goldendale selling for $20,000 not bad if you compare against an average new car.

I've been looking out for some local land for a while just 3 or 4 acres to keep the other half of the family happy with horses and maybe a few trials sections.

Seems a bit extravagant to some, but not too expensive when added to the mortgage, but agricultural land fetches around
