I was brainstorming how to add to my simple beginning backyard trials
set up.
I was thinking about building something like a ladder with PBC piping.
It would lie down on the ground and be used for gapping practice. I
could forward hop on each "rung" or gap from one "rung to another. The
PBC piping would probably 1" size or a bit bigger. It would be about
18" wide and 8 to 10 feet long. The gaps between the rungs would be
irregular, so as you hop from one rung to another, you would have to
adjust to the changing distance.
I would probably have some planking to mount the structure to in order
to keep it stable if I was gapping along its length from the left to
the right side and back and forth, so it doesn't tip over.
I figure the stuff is cheap and easy to work with. Not sure how durable
it is or how prone to crushing it is.
I have also toyed with placing a 2"size pipe onto a 8' piece of wood to
create a skinny to ride on. Any comments on that idea.
Cheers
