Default Looking for some inspiration!!!!

Ok here's the info... My little girl and I have been working on a crawler coarse. So far I've got a few fairly hard obstacles in place and the coarse is kinda intricate, I'm trying utilize as much of the space as possible. But just wondering what kinda obstacles you guys/gals would be interested in seeing/crawling on? Planning on a bridge that spans across about half the coarse, got one decent size hill climb, lots of twists and switch backs and some pretty good size rocks.
Planning on hosting an event/comp/g2g come spring time if I get all the work done by then and if anyone is interested
As I've been doing most of the work myself on weekends and a 4 year isn't much help!! So again just looking for some help in the idea department. Still haven't decided what kinda bridge to build. I'm a welder and have access to plenty of steel so I was thinking of utilizing that along with wood or something of that nature. So any pics or suggestions would be appreciated.

Check out "Let's Go Racing" under the Myrtle Beach SC thread. They have a KILLER bridge that spans a good 10ft or better.

I've seen the one at lets go racing. And it's pretty cool. Maby something of that nature but maby rusted and corroded looking? Also how does everyone feel about "log"/"stick built" obstacles? I'm kinda up in the air about them. I start looking at them and it sometimes appears that they were just thrown together without thought. Or maby it's just me and I just haven't seen a stick built design that appeals to me. But I'm gonna do some YouTube searching and see what comes up.

Just would like an idea of what some other people like to see when they go to a comp/g2g?

I was going to suggest the same thing! LGR has a sweet setup and I like the terrain. Very scale looking........
As far as youtube, there are 3 guys channels I watch more than anyones due mostly to their attn to detail and choice of terrain

Anthony Rivas- https://www.youtube.com/user/Rivasconcepts

Waffet- https://www.youtube.com/user/waffett

Race730- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu2...KIBGzhB0SGEb-A

But these are all my personal opinions, I agree with yours about stick courses though, they dont appeal to me much. Post pics! I cant wait to see what you come up with!
