These are all of my first year's building(last year) and we only used, hammer, nails, hand saw, shuvel and picks as it wasn't exactly legal. My trail this year is looking 10 times better, but we still are using hand tools to keep the noise down, I'll see if I can get some shots up.

I can't seem to find my pride and joy builds that I did at the end of last summer, I think they are on my other computer that's packed up. But here's a lil line we just started working on now. All my stuff is done with hand tools unfortunently, if I had land to work with where I could make noise and use power tools, I could build much better stunts, especially while encorporating natural terrain. Unfortunently Ohio's flat, so all we can do is build up, to drop in. This isnt much, but it's about a 10ft long cat walk up to a 10ft long cat walk across to a 8ft drop to 4ft tranny to where the dirt will be cut in more (about 2ft under ground) to a set of doubles. Then we are planning on making the third double boost you up onto a platform that will transfer to a wall ride, then into 3 more doubles to a creek gap. Again, this is amatuer stuff here because of our means and limitations, and it's flat with no terrain to work with, and we are poaching onto this land so we have to use hand tools to keep the noise down.

It's great to see such good responses. I knew there had to be a lot of skill in here. Keep the images coming!
Thanks bro. Building trail is really satisfying, it's hard work, but when your done you've gotten in a great workout, and you have something to show for it. The stuff I've posted isn't quiet as nice as some of my other stuff, but "My" computer is packed up for shipping, these are just what I've been able to round up by running searches on my other posts over on RM.drum714 said:

I would have to agree baised off the pics, and power tools would definitly aid your cause.
Building around me SUCKS
Everything around here is very public, so anything I build has to blend in very well. There are quite a few natural drops that with the digging I've done have turned out to be quite nice, but unfortunatly there is no opportunity to create any kind of flowy lines.
