thanks..

It would be nice if you can get or hire someone with a bobcat. I'm goin to make a motocross track up north, and I'm working on plans. I got plans for some nice jumps and woops. Should be able to use it in winter also.

Yep you will need a bobcat, and lots of dirt!! Plan the jumps out too, dont want to make them too long or too short...

^there is the dirt!

a bobcat would be nice but chances are you could round up 4 guys and buy them pizza ect. last time i checked it costs like 450-500 a day to rent a bobcat.

try to use random stuff lying around to use as fill. Ive seen peeps use cars. I use old picnic tables. I found some at the local junk yard and bought em for 1.50 each. That beats shoveling a lot of dirt for an hour or two for just one jump.

make some table tops, they are the easiest thing to learn how to do big jumps on. Cuz if u cant case a table top, u cant get hurt that bad.

will i need a bobcat to make just the berms though?

bobcat would help with everything. my dad is fixing one up. we had another one, but sold it. he bought this big thing he calls a bobcat, but it doesnt exactly move right now...

cant think of a different way to do it.

No just pile up some dirt and start going over it with your bikes to create it... Thast what we do down in pits..

Make sure you make up a plan so you don't spend all that time working to figure out it isn't how you wanted it to be.

we used to have a track but had to take it out to mow the field im gonna build a few snow jumps in a few days with our bobcat, then in spring fix our old backhoe...but the bobcat should help too

i thought my dad was retarded when he got the bobcat 2 years ago, but with all the attatchments we have, its the most helpful and versatile little thinger we own...and it has heat so we can use it with a t shirt in winter. actually i might build some jumps today but were runnin low on snow...

yeah me and my firend are going to make a rack for our atvs. he has a bob cat and we have a tractor and a backhoe.... he has a dump truck too.. it should be pretty easy.

Make a track layout on paper then just follow it and for the burms thoughs are pritty easy to make just pile up dirt on an angle and just riding and soon enough u will have a good burm and the table tops use alot of dirt so dont make to many or try to find some sort of filler and some sort of tracktor with a bucket or a bobcat will work just fine.

when you guys say bobcat, you mean skidsteer, right? bobcat is just a brand.

[SnowRida]

Prolly. Those smaller thingy's with a roll cage and a bucket. Work great for tracks!
