I am...just not with wood. Any other thoughts people, or photo's, also Im giving credit to how I got the idea, Whistler mtb park is having an 'obsession' comp, in which people can put in riding pics,video's and stpry's of whistler mtb park, and some went to the trouble of making whole tracks in the minituare form of paddlepop sticks, some used wax molding for jumps ect.

[LIAM?!]

^ Have you got any pic's of that?

[pin'd_it]

ben....youve been on holidays 2 days and you must already be sooo bored. good idea though, im in for it.

cadet camp was good and lets go for a ride soon

[tupper]

im outa pop sticks.. lol

[trouble]

^ Have you got any pic's of that?
I dont personally,but I sure as hell will give you the link,it's been my inspiration, I still haven't seen a working see-saw,I think mines a first (probably not)

Check out my creation. Ill put a video up on youtube later. If you wanna know wat it is make one. Throw it at soemthing or drop somthing on it and you'll find out. Make it exact though. Its better than dominos. I'de call it a winner.

[JakeGorey]

[Giantrider]

Bugger, i would love to compete in this, but i am going on mission. Should be fun in north queensland taching aboriginal children about God. All those years of playing with maccano woulod have really paid of.

[TomT]

Haha im in! for sure. Ill just go down to Go-Lo and pick up 999,999,999 paddle pop sticks.

[moto-james]

you coppied this off the whistler web site


you didnt make it up

I never said I made it up, and I gave full credit to them, so no biggy

[TomT]

Ive already been stuck into this little time filler for the last 2 hours, its looking pretty good. Hope theres some good competition :) . I also think we need to write our forum names down on a piece of paper next to the finished product, because you could easily just post one from the net.

[pin'd_it]

i agree

New Rule: Upon Submission in the photo or video of your paddlepop stick track there must be some way of identifying your creation as your own.
i.e a piece of paper that signifies with your forum name that the track/feature belongs to you.

[TomT]

Ok just giving you guys an update on where im at... This is my design after the first 30 minutes of work!

[lachlan60]

this is my track.....it has a berm, kicker, north shore with a little drop , wall ride and it had a see saw but i used a straw so it cant be entrerd:(

new rule, for such obstacles like see-saws, to allow them to be a working model, you MAY use a straw or object of the like.

[i like dirt]

Maybe you could build real north shore and ride your bikes.

or masturbate

[cretin...rider]

i'm starting mine tomorrow night so i will probably have some pics buy monday tuesday, also the one above is cool:cool:

[da_booomb]

now all you have to do is make big enough and strong enough!:rolleyes:

Guys, Im not trying to take people away from riding, but get them doing something other than creating terrible threads that just get locked,and this is fun to see what creations people come up with, and I ride all day, come home,it's dark and then build some paddlepopstick tracks....so no harm done

Are we aloud to use something like a rock to build something on or around?

Yes, I beleive so, but please try to keep it cool and a LARGE MAJORITY USE of paddle pop sticks. I want people to kinda make it as a freeride type track or as a kinda slopestyle thing, which most people are so go for it,will post pics of mine updated lata tonight

[Daver]

How about Lego? Need something to waste my time instead of writing essays...

Alright, Ill let you guys in on the secret ( not much of one). What to do with curveiness....well u make like to long things of paddleop sticks like maybe 15cm, then get a piece of cardboard,and bend it into a cruve 'rollercoaster', and glue the bits down that touch the wood,then cut bits of wood up then glue em on..SNAP CRACKLE POP,done

[danman]

hey are match sticks allowed ?

[danman]

eh ive made a sweet see saw pic s up soon

[trouble]

hey are match sticks allowed ?

Yes, I think that qualifies...my game/comp, my rules hahaha, yer they are pretty much just a smaller version of paddlepop sticks so yer....

[drewie162]

another way of bending paddlepop sticks is to put them in water for 2 hours (this will make them flexible) then you put them in a vice until they dry. then you take them out and you have curved wood.:cool:

[Mutha_Hucka]

here's the one I made today:

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/mrbikerider/maria002.jpg

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/mrbikerider/maria001.jpg

It's a step-up to drop or turn off to dro wallride. By the way who chooses the winner?

[fatass]

AAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrghhh!!!! Just stumbled upon this with a day left, my Mum left the paddle pop sticks at school (for an art exhibition) and won't be able to get them till monday.... can I have a late entry!?!?!?!!!? I'll give you e-hugs!!! In the most non-sexual way possible..

[SHRED06]

ha im making one of these at school for fun. but with the landscape aswell.

[chuckies_here]

Hahaha i'm just going to try it anyways.

[trouble]

kk everyone, entries close tommorrow... I will creat another post on general, with all the entries with photo's and peoples names, and a poll, the person who wins, gets bragging rights,and possibly a custom name on farkin if I bother talking to scott, or squidly,a mod

[fatass]

are the votes in by mon morn or mon late?

[MATT_82]

I would assume they close at midnight tonight?

[Mutha_Hucka]

Sounds like a good idea to me. I just added a big drop to mine.

[Mutha_Hucka]

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/mrbikerider/paddle-popsticktrack004.jpg

it's got a step up, big drop, small drop, drop-wallride, and a skinny ride to drop. the down ramp from the wallride drop is ghetto because I ran out of paddlepop sticks.

[Joy]

hahaha i love the writing on yours Mutha!

that video on the Whistler site was so rad

[drewie162]

So there is:
kicker + downramp
drop off + downramp
up ramp onto wall ride
rollercoaster with drop at end + downramp
jump into a wall ride
step up step down
big wall ride with up and down ramps

[Lemontime]

Argh.
4 hours left and not a paddlepop stick in the house!
Any chance on getting an extension?

[Lowrider#1]

You guys have WAY too much time on your hands.
Which is a good thing, as it leads to fantastic creations such as the ones in this thread!
Partaking in a time-consuming, constructive and creative activity during your time of rest. Your parents must love you. :p
Seriously awesome work guys!
*sigh*
Too bad nobody built a loop-the-loop or a spiral or something. That would have been really cool.
Props to Pete for the Foam Pit.

Damn me for not being on farkin enough and checking this out!
