This looks like too much fun. And it is so nice when parents ride where their kids can keep an eye on them.

The blister reminded me of when I had to bust out some concrete with a sledge hammer, I didn’t have gloves on and by the end of the day I had so many blisters they were literally bleeding and running down my hand. Anyway I wanted to check how the track is holding up. I am wondering if you could mix plain Portland cement with with a top layer that way it would be closer to pavement also keep weeds from growing up and make it skateable possibly. And did you have any water issues with it being so close to your house?

can you tell me what size of total area of backyard, and the final design (with fewer roller) how much space betweeh 2 roler?

You need to make the pump thingies a little bit higher. And you would probably go a lot faster.

Is it ok to not separate the grass from the soil you used to make the rollers and berms?

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a truckload of dirt rather than renting a machine at 150-200$ a day? trying to figure out which would be a better plan, have the use of the machine or buy nice fill dirt and just spread by hand.

Agreed. Unless you have the acreage. Also property drainage could cause issues. I have about 1/4 acre backyard. Over last few days since I was inspired to build one for my toddler, I decided to go with trucking in a tri axle of top soil. Cost about the same and way easier to shape.

How did this go when there was rain? I’m about to build one near my house in some bush but with winter approaching where I am I am wondering how it stays together
