Any ideas...?

We just tore down our swingset in my back yard so I now have lots of wood with nothing to do w/ it. I'd like to make some stuff I can screw around on with my bike but I am short of ideas. No giant ramps as I am relatively short on space. All ideas and pictures are welcome.

Raiyn- I just literally laughed out loud.
But anyway I will describe an idea of what I have in my head the best I can for an example. Okay, I want to build a little platform that comes off the ground (2-3 feet) about 10-12 feet long and probably a 1-2 feet wide. I really hope that makes sense

Just to clarify with you coops1105, this is Northshore, I think this is what you're trying to say.

I drew a sweet picture in paint but it wont let me paste it on here. I was thinking of basically Madbiker's picture except on a smaller scale.
