i'm trying to get my dad to let me build a little track at our house. even tho i have access to my uncles racetrack pretty much whenever, it kinda gets old sometimes.
i'm thinking about just a few smaller jumps, a rhythm with a few doubles, maybe a tripple, and a big double for playing w/ freestyle. i would like to have some woops, but their too much upkeep. we've got about an acre of land were not using, and a pretty big case tractor w/ a disk and an 8 foot rhino blade.
i've saw a few people using logs and stuff for filler material. i was thinking about that and i was just wondering how good the wood lasts(decomposing) when it's buried like that?
and the railroad just redid all the crossties on a mile or so of rail right next to my house. i'm gonna try and get a bunch of that to use for filler, cause i'm pretty sure they just wanna get rid of it. and i was thinking it would last a lot longer than just logs, cause it's got creosote(tar) on it. does anyone know if that will keep it from decomposing? cause it would kinda suck to have all the jumps screw up in a few months
or any comments or advise about building a small track
