October 17, 20178 yr Does anyone own or has made an obstacle course on a trailer? Any pics or ideas out there? I have an old but strong flat bad trailer to carry farm equipment and am going to convert it to an obstacle trailer. Kinda those that they use on trials shows like Pat Smage or Jack Price... obviously, my obstacles will be to my skill level. Just something to park on my parking lot by my business on a Saturday afternoon and play around. The advantage of doing this would be to have a nice clean approach to train techiniques and lots of grip on a newly paved parking lot!! I m very excited about it. Please share any pics or experiences you might have with this kind of project. Thanks
October 17, 20178 yr I would so love to do the same thing myself. I have been compiling ideas but don't have any images other than some rather low quality hand sketches I have been making.
October 17, 20178 yr I have used trailers for indoor demo's before I took some inspiration from this video... for me it was more about how you get on and off the trailer than it is about what obstacles are on the trailer.
October 17, 20178 yr One year we used a larger dump trailer made a top for it and a big ramp on one end and a kicker ramp on the other plus a few options for hitting it from the sides...
October 17, 20178 yr Author I love the dump trailer set up! I m gonna try to do it with hinges in a way that I can park and fold or attach the obstacles! I will post pics here as soon as I start and please feel free to add comments or ideas
October 17, 20178 yr I was thinking along the same lines, hinged items, stackable, almost a simple puzzle to stack up and unpack. I have been trying to decide how to make, in concept, enough items that I could create at minimum a setup that could be organized into 6 or 8 different more progressively difficult configurations.
October 18, 20178 yr The issue we had was we had to move everything between shows each day so the trailer was handy for that. The big ramp in front covered up the hitch. Here is a video of it in action...
October 18, 20178 yr 4 hours ago, leosantanalg said: whats the pitch on that ramp? do you have an idea?? It was 4 years ago... but I think I still have it in the back of the barn someplace unfortunately the trailer belonged to somebody who doesn't ride anymore so I don't have it to measure. If I get out there this weekend I will measure the ramp to give you some idea of the size... I do remember it being pretty steep maybe around 45% ?
