Hey guys I'm planning to make a small backyard track within afew weeks its nothing major at all. I was wondering if anyone had tips on what to use for jumps , speed bumps , burm turns. The track is rather far from my home and Im only 15 so I can't drive yet but my parents said I might be able to use most of the backyard as a track so thats my plan for "backyard bashing" lol even more convient I have a shed right in front of where I would make the track Ill get a picture later.

WOW, Dude, how'd you manage to convince your parents to let you build a track in the back yard??? I remember I was running my 1/10 electric in my step mom's back yard and she came running out screeming about her lawn :P

"Ahhhhh My grass, my grass, you kill it, you kill my grass!!!"

You shoulda seen her when I put my 1/8 nitro MT through her tomato patch :P

me and a body built one and we were lacking in the dirt department, so we have 2 wood jumps that have old pcs of carpet on them.

Well my dad doesn't really care because the part im using is a "garden" but theres nothing in there and my dad generally doesnt care what i do as long as its reasonable. its my mom whos iffy about it but she will manage when she sees my plans.

nitro car + grass = no more grass lollo

Where I live there is a town garage and they have free dirt so i should be fine for the dirt part but I think for most tracks there is a structure under the jumps i just dont know what to make it out of its a small track

Across the bridge is what I have to work with. I plan on leaving the square shape of the "Garden" and just take out the wood things and rocks in the middle. Unfortunately I have to leave the fountain there but oh well. Im gonna call a guy for quote on tilling the whole thing. Should be nice
