Edge's course

[EDGE]

Nah, I'm on vacation this week. Been planning on this. But I did look through your album and your course is pretty cool. I want a suspension bridge now. Lol

i made mine for my daughter she was set we were going to have one and i said its boring just drive over it ...well it does look cooli didnt tie my rope after each piece wood like most do i drilled 2 holes in each piece at each end so it stays were i put it but.... i can easily slide wood making gaps bigger on one side than the other or so big wheel gets stuck . works out well for spicing it up.and with the springs i can change the heigth as i please as well can make it twist ot straight droop or pull up for v affect.
i'm done till i get another load of rocks :-(

That's really nice and adjustable. I like it. I just need something to span the gap where that platform was that I removed. I want to come up that little ramp and turn around back to a bridge of some sort that goes over to above the hole in the platform I just lowered.
I'm going after block and brick tomorrow. So I can build a raised section about 3 ft high to put in place of the teeter totter. Should work out to be roughly 6 ft long 2 ft wide and 3 ft high. a 6 ft long 45 degree side hill with work ups on either end. A bridge over to the back wall and a stair step drop down in the back to the small riser on the floor. Should be cool.

this d$%n addiction, all my courses are to easy and my trucks are pretty stock and i'm not that good a driver.....i am having fun ordering parts and pieces for upgrades i have no idea how to do....

[EDGE]

It is an addiction. Sometimes good sometimes bad. Bout half my course is really challenging for the scale trucks. some of it I can't even get a scale truck through lol
Just takes time and practice.

15 tons of rock delivered today getting tired of hauling in pick up... now gotta get some cool weather and back at it. i've decided inside can wait till winter. and it seems tending to usps ups and fed ex is almost a full time job new tools parts upgrades and trucks arriving quite frequently

ROOKIE!

[EDGE]

So I'm thinking of starting up the E-series on November 1st. Club scoring. Every other Sunday till it's warm out. Let me know what y'all think. And if you'd like to get together and crawl or come up and check out the new sections. Just let me know.

[DiabloPres]

I'm in!

[EDGE]

Just a few small updates. Finished up the build ups on the ends.

[jamesthe1v]

any new ideas for me to steal or you just enjoying course these days? :-)
i'm feeling the itch to add some new to mine.

[EDGE]

Pretty much just enjoying the course. Haven't really had time to do much. besides keeping the trucks running.

[EDGE]

Thought about doing some overlapping ramps in the corner. Haven't got it quite worked out yet.

[jamesthe1v]

i have been thinking about that as well some ropes counter weights so as you drive a ramp will lower on hinge or 4 ropes and use counter weight to pull back up after your off that ramp....lol its hard to utilize all your space as one ramps 'line' screws up another :-( i just picked up a dump trailer load of boulders now just gotta sit back and get a rough plan.

[EDGE]

Another year another section built.
