Don't want to rain on your parade, but check into your liability insurance while you're at it.  $#!& happens.

You can find ideas, pictures, and maybe some plans for a pump track at www.leelikesbikes.com (it is also a cool site for bike skills information).  You may also find some ideas for building obstacles at www.imba.org and search for their freeride building guide.

Start off by dumping various sized boulders in an area to practice on....

Hey man, good luck getting some cool stuff built.  You can check out santos and carter for some wood ideas as both have cool bridges and stuff, also Jimmy Cotton has a really cool sliding bridge if you can get in to see it.  Do you have any elevation change on your acres, that definitely helps?  The dirt generally sucks here in FL so if you find good soil or clay, use it up!  Good luck and holla if you ever need any help.

Corn is a grain.  Unfortunately.

Dude's original post was over a year ago, so either he has a really cool place we should crash or he has moved on. Don't recall him posting since.

Or either he got hurt on his home built course and is still recovering.
