in the "too narrow to be put to use" patch on the side by the fence.. why not make a roll in there? have that be the starting spot.

I too was thinking this.

Cool and make sure to consider this.

1. Liability Waiver
2. Check City Housing Permit
3. Consult Neighbors
4. Make sure lowest area of the track has a water drainage (you don't need disease flying insects as your new pets)

Also, It will attract kids and the crazy kid-minded adults. Have Fun and always wear Helmet, Neck Brace and Pads for collarbone (not a joke being injured, been there).

Send more pics of Progress!!!

Also, if you want to go full extreme, use your roof as part of your pump track (see attached pic) just make sure you put pads/carpet so not to ruin the shingles.

^LOL holy shit man! I'm totally not hardcore enough to try to bring the track up onto my roof! Its really going to be more of a beginner type track that I can maybe modify down the road as I get better. I've been trying to shape some berms and rollers in the short span of daylight I have afer work, but its going slowly. I'm hoping to get close to rideable with a couple days off around Christmas.

Well, I skipped out of work early today and got done with the basic shaping. It needs to harden up a bit more and I need to do some smoothing in a few spots but I did about 20 laps on it! Its getting there!

I still ride bmx and love pump tracks, I go to rays in Ohio once a year

The track is basically finished being shaped. I spent today adding some foliage and may continue to do so. It was my birthday last weekend, so I threw a jam. We had "Rad" playing in the back yard and set up a pretty good blaze in the fire pit. We got pretty shithoused and took a couple cool slow-mo videos with the flames in the foreground. I'll try to get the video from my buddy. The track is nice and packed. It rides pretty quick and you can pump the whole thing without pedaling if you have the technique. Anyway, more pics.
