simple log obstacle (pics)
I built this obstacle with a friend in a couple of hours. It's not much, but it sure is a lot of fun!
The obstacle from the side, with my friend walking by:
Me going over the obstacle:

My bud forgot his skid lid, but we had a great time riding on (and falling off of) this contraption.

Take the boards off, stack the 3 logs in triangle then you'll have an obstacle worth doing.

Hmm...seems we have some big talkers around here.
Looks like a good start. Keep building. I've never been comfortable doing obstacles in clipless
And is that a Monocog?

You have to be cautious. I nearly tore a small bit of leg stitching on this pair.

Good job. Keep at it. Then when you feel you have that dialed, move things around. Narrower, taller, put a corner in, just use the logs, make a teeter, etc.

I think Junkyards vagina is the reason that the beaches are erroding.

Cool deal. Any off-trail practice will improve your skills for when you're back in the woods. Good job!
