Default Backyard track (in progress)

I'm using about 500 bricks, some small crushed rock yard waste & dirt for this. The big hill was made out of a small staircase & covered mostly with flagstone & steppers.

I can't wait until it rains...the pits are gonna make big puddles, & my truck will be waterproofed very shortly! M is for mud.

Pretty cool, with the dirt and loose gravel here and there I bet it can be difficult on some lines.

Yes but she would eventually get over it. When she did you would still have an in the yard crawl playground.

Your course looks good, should be real cool when the mud bogs form.

Thankfully I've got an abandoned construction-site that looks close to your track with bricks, rocks and gravel pits

But I prefer cleaner(less dirt) runs on rocks only and my best rides are on a pier or along the shorelines = clean often washed rocks during storms

...as can be seen here on my Youtube channel
