backyard track...!

Heres a link to the temporary ( :-( ) track i built in the garden, were my girlfriends veggie patch will soon be...

Foolish girl asked me to dig up some grass for her and left me alone with a big empty bit of earth, so what else was i gonna do.

The vid features my XXT which is a little to big for it, but it was a bit brutal on the Dynastorm, not tried the top force and the rc18t is out of action..

anyway heres the vid link:

Lets see other peoples efforts... :-D

Oh by the way you'll need latest quicktime, as it's a .MOV done in H.264 (HD Mpeg4 codec for those wondering!)

haha! that tracks ace mate! even in a iccul iccul space you managed to get some doubles in there! quality.

I got a bigger garden given to me to build a track when I lived at the in-laws place a few years ago, they have BIG gardens so gave me the side one.. I was just too lazy to build a proper track tho :jimmeh I started racing just after I started on the home-track and once I tasted the batley track I just gave up at home. Plus batley was only 10 mins away.

:-D

Its got a double, some car eating whoops and the big step down...

It would be great to build a proper track but am not alowed and really, do want to keep some of the grass for chillin out on anyway :-D

I've built trails for bmx before so building that only took an hour or two, with me not being to precious about the quality of it.. otherwise it would of been double that easily lol :-P

i know of a place i might be able to build a top secret dirt track so will scope it out saturday.. i really want a dirt track to run on, southports great but astro just aint as offroad as dirt..

I live near the Spen Valley green way, this cool railway which was coverted to a 7 mile long tarmac track. Near the end there is a woods, and you go down a small( really small) opening for about 200 yds. Then in the middle of the woods, some ace guys have cut a 50-60ft clearing, and built a proper BMX/motocross track. Thing is, they like racing, so its a proper course with a 6 ft high jump at the end. I cant wait to get a buggy to use there

I live in crawshawbooth near rossendale and behind the primery school there is a BMX track that nobody uses been on there a few times but the stones are to big for my B4 need to give it a sweep early one morning. The jumps on there are fantastic table tops burms and doubles.

bmx Trails we had down the road had a monster pack down the middle, smallest was 6ft high with a 15ft gap, sent the xxt over, had no probs. Was flat bottoming the 20ft set in the middle. The last one was gonna be a 30ft gap but it all got plowed before it was completed :-(

I lived in liversedge for years...which end of the greenway is it?
There used to be a small trails behind what was a scrapyard at the entrance where halifax and headlands road meet up. That's years ago though before the greenway when the railway track was there and they first tried to make it into a bridlepath.
Does anyone remember the old bmx track down quaker lane near cleckcheaton. That was great...Ahh back in my younger days.
