hi, i was at the outsider last weekend and i really enjoyed the bike skills courses there..they had stuff like see-saws and balanes beams with very small drops of the end...well anyway id like to build some of that in my back garden, probely slightly bigger as im a more of an intermediate rider so something bigger that can be largly inproved upon.. but unfortunatly i cant find anything on the internet that will give me a rought outline on how to build something like this....

do you know somewhere i could get the infomration im looking for?

    im not entirly sure maybe 40ft by 40ft maybe more ive got 2 lawns another lawn aswell which is bigger 60ft-60ft which can be used aswell, but the stuff there has to be easily moveable as in 10mins to move it out of th way.

    well you wouldnt be able to build a course but you could build a random see saw however i do not know where you can find information about them you could always take measurements of the one you saw lat time

    o wow, your a smart one! i was thinkingi more along the way of dimensions and the thickness/strenght the wood ect. would have to be to deal with lots of riding and abuse.
