Default home made trail builds- -pics added

I'm building a scaler trail in my woods on my property. It has lots of logs, roots, hill climbs, rocks, ect. I'll post up pics this week. But I want some examples of what other have done. So post up your pics on here. I've seen lots of homemake rock course. that is not what I'm looking for. I want to make something you would see in a 1:1 forest trail. I'm running 2.2's but will make is so 1.9's have a way through also. Also for the guys in western Oregon that want to come over and check it out let me know.

Watch this video. I think this is very cool and sounds like what you are looking for. Also I am in JC all the time and would swing by for a trail run

no one else has any trail photo ideas for me. I'll get more pics up this weekend. Hopefully with Caveman's Chevy broken out there.
