NKline (Backyard North Shore **Extended**)

[Dirt king]

Hey Guys!

This weekend that has just gone, my mate and I extended my previous Northshore because I was given a truck load of wood from a construction site. Little did we know it would go for 25.5m and be 1.7m high at the highest point. It is heaps of fun and there will be come better pics coming in the next week. But for now I only have the quick pics that were taken yesterday when it was finnally completed. And also for one weekends work it was a good effort. Also before you guys ask, these ramps are sturdy as, they do not move and are all braced to the supports.

We had friends over, so they got in a couple of the pictures and video, so you can ignore them.

Also here is a little video we made up from the digital camera, it isn't the best quality, but still is pretty cool. Keep an eye out for the little runner too. :D

We had a lot of fun making and riding it. Also A MASSIVE THANKS TO MY GRANDFATHER, for coming up with all of the structural design, he is the best grandfather ever.

Hope you enjoyed.

thats very nice. good construction too

[*morison*]

is it just that one strait line bit?

[Dirt king]

is it just that one strait line bit?yeh, it does make too small right hand turns, but it used to have a turn onto it and in the future I will attach a see-saw which will liven it up a bit, but it is really good for going real fast to jump the jumps down a little further.:D

[bikekid127]

looks well built but also looks like it would get boring quickly.


Still its better then my backyard so keep it up. $5 if you manual the whole thing

[thompo]

hmmm yer you could have made it more technical and more skilled rather than more of a boardwalk but still looks good

[benni]

hmm, pretty boring. with all that would i would have made a drop off my house :(. or AT LEASTTT a drop at the end of what you made. rather then just the ramp down :confused:

[Dirt king]

Yeah, there is still the drop at the end benni, just with the ramp you get a better run in for the jumps, don't have to pedal as much! :D

[benni]

oh but pedalings good on ns, more of a challenge. seriously make a house drop or ill shoot you :mad:

[kyleman]

yer man with that wood you could have built a wicked wallride or something. Would get boring pretty quick but hey, thats up to you.
Good construction though.

[owen saul]

That is amazing for only one weekends work!!!
Did you use a nail gun or hammer???

Im planing to make one much the same but gravity feed
ill get pics up when it is done

[thompo]

yer if you think about it what are you going to do when you get bored of it? By the way you built it its going to be hard to make any major changes on it.

[Dirt king]

yer if you think about it what are you going to do when you get bored of it? By the way you built it its going to be hard to make any major changes on it.Nah, we can just build mroe off the end of the 25m, because there is ample of room, so that isn't a problem, and I can always turn it off the stuff I have now. As far as putting it together, we used a hammer, but we got a drill and drilled the holes first, because hard wood is very hard to nail through without the assistance of a drill. So I would recommend drilling a very small hole first in everything you are going to nail, well especially the ramps. Yeah, can't wait to see what you create. :cool:

[konacoiler]

that ns is built nice.

I wish i had that kind of space near my house:(

see saws, and drops would go well of something like that.

[Dirt king]

that ns is built nice.

I wish i had that kind of space near my house:(

see saws, and drops would go well of something like that.Yeah, hopefully in the near future I can put a see-saw in, would be nice. Well the only reason I got the wood was complete fluke, so yeah, I was really lucky. :D

[Jeebus]

you have a pretty cool grandfather.

[Dirt king]

you have a pretty cool grandfather.Sure do, he is really good at coming up with support designs, and how we should make the ramps etc. He is the Best!:D

[NICK ATKINS]

It looks boring you could hit that without even knowing it was there. You should make it thiner with a big drop. But it looks like its nicely built

[coram]

not everyone are as exicing as you nick
and jordan,nathan and whoever else:D

looks good

[Jack122]

It looks pretty impressive, are there any North Shore jumps there?.

[Jack122]

In the video, the runner, has he got any pants on:confused:? it dosen't look like it:D.

[Dirt king]

In the video, the runner, has he got any pants on:confused:? it doesn't look like it:D.Yes, he does. It i just You Tube's pretty crappy quality. But yes he does have pants on and they were a cream colour. :D

[thompo]

you would have liked that wouldn't you from that smile!

na but going back to your latest wallride, i take it you get speed off this for the doubles and then for your wallride?

[Dirt king]

you would have liked that wouldn't you from that smile!

na but going back to your latest wallride, i take it you get speed off this for the doubles and then for your wallride? Yeah I think he would have liked that :p .

Well yes, because once you come of f the doubles, you have some room to pedal to jump up onto the step up (1m off the ground) and then you have to roll across it and then just land on the lander. When you land, you gain a lot of speed, but you are already going resonably quick, so yeah, we are hitting the berm with some speed, but when it is all done, we won't even have to touch the brakes, should be awesome, can't wait! :D

Thanks guys! :D

[thompo]

i think as you gradually get more confident on your "wallride" you should turn it into more of a traditional vertical wallride with a kicker, you have the room too.

[QUOTE=Dirt king;1024216]Yeah I think he would have liked that :p .

Trust me he would of:D.
Nice northshore though.

Nice northshore though.Thanks buddy. :D

[l +Jarrod+ l]

sick dude, i dare you to make it 40 ft

[mayo]

that northshore is looking schmik if thats how you spell it

[nedz33]

sick as, that last bit needs to be a drop and also make a turning bit that goes around the back of the green thing!

[Dirt king]

Yeah, we do have a drop at the far end, just we put a ramp there, but we are hoping to make it taller in the next school holidays, and make the drop a little more substantial. :D

[little norco boy]

your backyard keeps getting better keep up the good work

:D

[Dirt king]

your backyard keeps getting better keep up the good work

:DThanks, can't really get all that much better now, have pretty much finished, just will be making jumps bigger and some other little things. :D

[do-a-flip]

its soo straight! it almost certainly get boring after a while! should have put in a drop at the end or something. good building though keep it up!
