UNDER PROGRESS: The Unipark

[Ganon]

There are these woods near my house that no one ever goes too, So I am
going to clear out some land and put all my ramps in there and call it
a unipark. It is like a unicycle skate park. I make some sick ramps,
and a unipark is something I have been dreaming of for a long time.

Well I only have room for about two ramps right now, and I am planning
on clearing off more land. I don't even have to spend a cent! My
neighbors are donating the materials for the ramps. But the ground is
still really bumpy and I need to smooth it out. Does anybody have
ideas? And what all can you do with pallets?

you stack pallets, resulting in platforms to jump to, or off of, and
also you can neatly fit a 2x4 in the holes on the sides, so you can
extend skinnies off to ride on. Great fun with pallets, go to lowes or
home depot and ask if you can have some, sometimes they're free.

FYI, pallets stacked behind a store are not "free firewood" unless
they're explicitly labelled as such. Be wary when taking some, as it
could be considered theft.

Such pallets are property of the store, or the store's suppliers.
Someone had to pay for them, and that someone is likely in the process
of reusing them.

If I take them and but a label that says "Property of Ganon" then they
can't take it because that would be stealing from me.

but there not really yours
tip for smoothing out land: only smooth what you have to level places
to put ramps but not the places in between or put plywood down to cover
up the small bumps

you forgot power cabel spools.........



ah and you can't have a unipark without a staircase....

some rails.....


poles to jump to, gaps, twisted skinnys, round skinnys(trees would
work!) and a million other things....

at first i would build within my ability range, then start to push it a
bit--theres no point if you can't ride the park, but its even worse if
you aren't chalenging yourself a bit

cable spools are supposed to be really good, i have no experience with
them, but pallets are good for more than laying flat ;) ;)

you may want to look into some north shore stuff if you have a big
enough area with some decent slopes, there are many threads devoted to
different northshore objects, almost all of which can be built entirely
from pallets.

cable spools are awsome, what do you mean "really good"?

do anything with em without a step or somthing(laying em on their side
is good too.....

sounds like a real good idea
only problem i can think of is that if the council owns the land, and
find out you're tearing down trees and erecting a course, they might be
a little less than happy...

+1 for cable reels, i don't have any at the moment but plan to have
about 4 in a couple of days, also want one for a coffee table, that
would be ace:cool: .
