  1. i used to have a big miniramp in my backyard from when i skated but i
    quit skating and my ramp grew old and soggy so i demolished it. now i
    have a big empty space where my ramp was and i want to make a little
    trials course. any trials riders have favorite obstacles or preferences
    towards certain things like pallets or barrles or rocks or logs or
    somthing. i never been to or seen a real trials course, only watched
    videos. looks fun though. also is there any things you use that can be
    used in multiple combinations? like to switch things up. i think the
    same course over and over would get monotonous.

  2. lots of rocks is a good idea. i have a pile of "sitting rocks" from the
    previous owners that they didn't use. so just pile them up randomly,
    loads of fun. make sure your trials course is modular, so build in
    small pieces so that you can rearrange. also, i discovered this
    accidentally cause i didn't want to buy new screws. if your course is
    gonna only be on dirt/permeable surface, then use screws that are too
    long, that way they will dig into the ground on your ground supports
    and will prevent excess movement. sorry if that was confusing.

  3. Sandwhich boards can be doubled as skinnies. Saw horses are pretty much
    the same deal. I would definately look into pallets and some plywood to
    make the perfect heights for hopping up and practice of that sort of
    thing. Teeter totters are fun but they get old unless you have a bunch
    of northshore stuff to follow up.

  4. If you want something challenging. Put a long plank measured across your
    pool or community pool and try to get from one side to the other. 😄 😄
    I've tried it, but to no success. That doesn't mean i won't try again
    😄 😄 Also i like Eddbmxdude idea too also. 😉

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

    I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal
    flips.
    It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
    in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
    flip backwards then forwards

    Forgot to mention those in my post. I built a couple for myself.
    They're really easy to make. There's a good tutorial about it on
    unicycletips.com. They are really great to build up guts for going big
    or skinny. Start of with them being about a foot high, and then as you
    get more experienced, build them higher. It takes lots of concentration
    to land on such a small spot (I built the sticky upy part out of
    4x4's).

  12. unicycletips.com Then go to "obstacle building"

    You can find a lot of free supplies in a scrap wood pile at a lumber
    yard or some hardware stores. Pallats are usually free as well.

  14. Ok, so if you were going to have a unicycle event, would grass or
    pavement be better. Is grass really that bad, or does it add something.

  15. If grass would add anything it would add padding when you fell. It
    would maybe take away your prehop if it was too soft but if it was hard
    engough I don't think it would. I did see Ryan Atikins in his last
    video prehop on grass on this box like eight feet tall (jk, but it was
    really high). And the grass might be uneven too. But other that I
    cant think of any problems. Pavement just hurts when you fall on it.

    what a jerk..

    what type of person thinks racism is something cool ?
    I think you just have to be banned from this forum.

    Its looks like you are just a daddy kid trying to appear more than
    others..

    I really hope that when you are playing on your trial course your seat
    broke and you fall with your ass on the seatpost

    I hate hopping on grass. It's all uneven and sometimes when I go to hop
    up something my balance is thrown off. Avoid it if possible.

    Yeah, that's really annoying.

    So is riding on grass, it's way too uneven...

    Also driveway ramps...

    From a bad, high/aukward fall I'll take a sore arm and some unevenness
    over a broken arm and smooth ground any day.

    Go for grass!

    Edit: Besides it just adds to the skill and it's the same for everyone.
