and then get taken down. i love events but would love to see more bike parks for everyone to use year around.

Looks sick! I'd love to know the dimensions of those blue wooden ramps.

We asked Andi for a spec info -> will follow

IONbike (May 13, 2014 at 5:40)

Sorry, Andi always puts all his experience and brain power in the different obstacles he builts and doesn't want to publish his knowledge. Best is to ask him personally, if you really want to know the details. His knowledge, his decision.

looks around a 15 foot radius or slighltly bigger and about 12 feet of ramp material with the lip about 8 or 9 feet tall. Just experiment!

3d modeling for 1 dirt line. ok...

its all about a money

if you do some visuzalizations etc. you can charge more imho

Andi needs the 3D modelling to estimate the volume of the dirt he will need & he has to get an approval from the council before the event, so he has to show them, what it will look like. Plus the sponsors want to know, where their branding will be located.
All big events do 3D sketches of the course in advance.

@IONbike thx for the answer. I guess for the sponsors it's very important.

Wouldn't some simple geometric calculations suffice?

EUs biggest? District Ride? Munich?

one38 (May 13, 2014 at 2:12)

Vienna Air King = Dirt Jump (Start drop + 3 doubles)
District Ride = Slopestyle (drops, wallrides, step ups & downs, doubles, other obstacles)

jaa, but austria is better! Schwammerl for example

Spaß

anyone know what program it is he uses?

ToMRowinski (May 13, 2014 at 10:55)

looks like google sketch up

callumfraser (May 13, 2014 at 10:56)

haha need to learn to use it

ToMRowinski (May 13, 2014 at 11:01)

its not too hard tbh man, just play around on it and maybe watch a few vids on youtube to make transitions and stuff

making skate parks is always fun

callumfraser (May 13, 2014 at 11:24)

haha im currently thinking about turning an entire field into a slope course

ToMRowinski (May 13, 2014 at 12:03)

that sounds sick, make sure you get a build thread of it if you actually do it!

callumfraser (May 13, 2014 at 12:09)

Well I've just been playing around in sketch up, so far I've made kickers and landings. Probably gonna start of with a few one meter kickers with 1.30m landings. Kickers made from OSB. Now i just need about 10 tonnes of dirt, an excavator, wood and my dad letting me do this

mabye once I get better Ill build the lines bigger

ToMRowinski (May 13, 2014 at 12:24)

gotta start somewhere bud
