need help making track

[bone705]

my friends and i want to build a small mx track in a field. can anyone give us some ideas on building one??

I would start with tabletops rather than doubles. That way if you make the table longer than you can hit coming out of a corner, you don't case it. Also, if you want to keep it pretty simple but not an oval, I would go with an L design.

First I agree with building tables, you can turn them into doubles or what every later, build wide jumps, give your self a good run way, bank your corners (build them up so you are leaning the right way) Here is just a little pic of a good track design, the black line is the basic idea of optium space and a well un oval shape

rip tear just for future referance (maybe you knew this ) but the banked corners are called "berms" and i agree build tables and some small doubles like 10ft ones to start out becuase its easy to move them. in no time you should be clearing 30ft at least

ok thanks guys. how wide should we make the jumps?

[300exlunatic]

like 6-8 feet so you can fit more than one quad

anyone have a picture of their own track??

here is a 25 foot double in my back yard... now it has become a 35 foot and soon a 50- 60 footer... my track is going to get bigger soon...

wide as you can make them id say... wider is better

id take a pic of my "track" but its under 2ft of water

wow thats 25 feet looks more like 15 but what ever. try and make it so two quads can fit easily on the take of and landing. if you make doubles make the jump so it doesnt just come to a point or your lip will just keep falling apart.
