Default Back yard endurocross

My buddy and I built an endurocross course several years ago thinking it would be fun to ride. We were wrong. That stuff is not fun to ride.

But it seems here recently that families, jobs and the holidays are not leaving us enough time to ride. So we thought we'd "cram" on the training and pound laps on the old endurocross course.

It works great for that. About 20 laps feels like you've raced an entire hare scramble! Gives you a new respect for the guys that race enurocross.

Not at all. It's been sitting for a couple of years now. It held together really well.

It is real hard work.
I'll post up a pic of mine tomorrow if I remember.Lots of logs, tyres and a tight twisty little flat track. Oh and one tabletop.
Cheers Mark

Looks like a great place to practice if you ask me !!!


A few years back I had a friend just out of town..had the same deal...small track on his land....lots of obstacles...big logs...big wire spools.. he even tried a big teeter totter....he was untouchable on that track cause he practiced day in day out on there......

it made me feel like a rookie though

Default My track pics...

Doesn't actually look as good in the photos but a good fun little track all the same. Hope you like it.
I am still looking for some larger pipes and more logs though....





More to come ,
Cheers Mark
