Worked quite well. Who needs beautifully crafted Alpine jumps...

Happy days
Sweet!
That’s all good and well,but what about the weeding?
😉
Awesome btw.
Looks fun, needs a seesaw and a drop off the tree house roof
Psikk, brah!
Got to respect the craft, good skills!
Looks fun, needs a seesaw .....
Did a seesaw a while back. Looking at the wheelsize, it must have been quite a while back.

....albeit not from the tree house!
Berm to wallride on the shed?
You're smaller than I thought you'd be.
Yessss!
Our street ramps (X3 in increasing amounts of boo-age) are still here. Eldest_oab has now progressed from garden jumps - yesterday's video was 30' gap jump...
Can I come round to yours?
Brilliant.
Much awesomeness.
Good work there 🙂
This is exactly what kids should be doing.... love it.
Sooo, as per the cake thread, the missus gave planning consent for a bit of a gap jump mod...
So we carved out a slab of turf.

And wrestled it out of the way.
Chucked some rocks in.....

Moved loads of earth from one end of the grave to the other.

And scooped a little from under the lower lip of the downhill end.
Then chucked the grass carpet back on and jumped up and down on it some..

And offf....

's only a tiny little jump, but not bad for a back garden and he seems well happy.

Where's a good place to uploads vids to link to on STW?

I see what you did there ,😃
As soon as you've got the uplift sorted you can just take my £40!
Still needs the drop from the tree house 😉
Looks like he is enjoying it
Many good Dad points earned.
I wish you were my dad....
Kids on bikes rock... 🤙👌👍
OP you are one cool dad....
Can you adopt me? 😂
Your clearly the UK's answer to Seth's Bike Hacks. Does your trail have a name?
Good stuff! Love the treehouse aswell
Like👍
Good to see your not too precious about the lawn.
So. Lots of time in lockdown. First of all we hacked this

Post nuclear holocaust aesthetic indeed.
Did a little bit of lockdown skipdiving, and replaced the ramp in the thread above. It wasn't very solid (propped up on bricks) and so didn't really meet the no gnar stipulation very well. It was also placed too far forward. So I built a totally solid one... Right in the corner of the garden....

DROPPING!

On the invisible bike 😁
He has also discovered the joys of s small rigid jump bike. In this case his old battered Islsbike that I totally couldn't sell when he grew out of it 6 years ago.
We've had sooo many pinch punctures you wouldn't believe.

Got to say, the missus has made a nice job of the bits of the garden I haven't post nuclear apocalypsed.
Your garden build is inspiring, off to build a small gap jump now... may build a wooden start ramp as well 🙂
Not far, no car, pretty GNAR!
Well done to all concerned!
That is awesome! Top job!
apologies for the thread resurrection, but if anyone wants the three part northshore section in the first picture then I would love to see it re-used.
It's a short up, a box and then a long down. Or vice versa. Built it about 6 years ago but the kids have kinda outgrown it. The box bit is getting a bit knackered, but can easily be fixed.
Perfect for 6-10 year old kids IMHO
I'll try to get some better pictures.
Ach, when I saw this thread got bumped I was hoping you'd finally built the inevitable steam catapult
