Would you hit this drop? or is it not well built enough?

hells no on the first one

if you wana build it up and not tough it then make sure that whats holding u up goes under by a bit it seems solid for like a day to ride but if your going to hit it more than once id suggest u reinforce it

there are 5 stakes in about 1and a half feet, they are fairly solid but if u think they may fall then i may back them up with some more stakes, cheers,

did you dig the holes for the pilings or did you pound them into the ground, they could go a bit deeper than 1.5ft or w/e you said, most fences are piled down to 3ft deep, and they still wiggle a bit, other than that it looks sweet, the gate, well that's original for sure

we pounded them in, with a skedg hammer, then hit the ground around the base with the sledge hammer so it compacted the ground around it, then it was fairly solid.

construction method is a bit odd... I would have built it differently but I'm known for hitting sketchy shit so I would definately give it a go...

...that's not as much of a wallride as it is an off-camber ladder.

I like how you improvised though.
