This is Awesome, What a set-up:shock: I could watch these guys wheel these cars all day, Great pic, makes you do a double take for realism8)
 
This is how I made my "Lions back, Moab, Utah" out of perf pipe

I stapled the plastic to the perf pipe, so it wouldn't take too much concrete

I mounted it to 2x6 so I could move it when needed (yes it takes two people)

I made this one, its mobile, I use it for see how steep I can go or side hilling
It's hard to see it, but I have spacers between the board and wire mesh 1/8" just so the concrete wont chip off, plus to hold up for moving alot"thumbsup"

so i have a nice 4'x8' piece of plywood i have decided to make into a micro crawler course. its going to be totally scale and not really comp. i am even going to put in....A WATER FEATURE!!! i want to put in a little pump from a small fountain to make a creek/river and a water fall. i am going to use boxes and cans and such to make the base and then foil over all of it then plaster. well i started on the base. id say its about 80-90% done with the base part. not bad for 2 hours 8) you can start to see the creek taking shape. i also went to lowes and picked up a fountain pump. it was $25 and is a 155gph max. i did some testing and it should work for my application

Here's my back yard. Everyday I'm out there, something changes. I'll try to keep bumping this thread with progress,

There is around 1500++ square feet of useable woods back in the woods straight back from the steps. So there is -like most ORV parks, a play area near the entrance/camp, and the trails fork out from there- a ton of trailage being setup and stuff back there. Lots more to come.

this is where I'm at after a couple days.

Still new to crawling (just finished building my dingo) and have a good sized yard. Built a micro short course track but I haven't been able to miantain it :cry:. I'm hoping to start a crawler course soon. Maybe. Anyway, those are awesome courses you all posted! Wish I had that much room, but I don't.
 
Thanks to the folks who contributed pics to the thread. I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Maybe I can come up with a course of my own before too long.
 
Do any of you guys ever have people talk crap to you for having your back yards like that? I'm currently workin on a back yard build and I'm almost certain my girlfriends family is going to have a field day making fun of me when they come over and see what I'm doing.

Nope, everyone that's seen mine is impressed. The nicer you make it, with good attention to detail. you can make the place rather nice to be at. "thumbsup"

here's shots of the hill we've been working on.. just up the driveway from this hill is a backside entrance to the trail on top of the hill...that hill is quite tricky to climb..this one isn't too bad..
