what makes you think I didn't draw up plans for the stuff I built already?

Rough sketch on a pad = Mildly Geeky
Plan on graph paper = Officially Geeky
CAD Drawing = There's no hope for you

If he used the CAD he probably would of noticed that his tires are roughly 2" wide and he goes and builds 10" wide bridges, what a waste of material:D

I wouldn't doubt that you have.

I've made 3D CAD models of things that definitely didn't need plans, let alone a 3D model. ;)

What if I not only designed them in a 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling..CAD is so dead) program. But I also laid them out on a site plan of my yard to maximize flow and minimized damage to the grass. I am not saying I did that, but if I did what would that make me?

He had a fully functional bike park by the end of it with tie-ins for MEP. I'm surprised he didn't hire Marc as a consultant.

And oh yes, Tim. I "gave you permission". Way to paint the image of a slave driver.

I have so many logs way down in the back of my back yard, as well as a sewer easement which is essentially just an overgrown road, that I could build one helluva mini practice area. I think my wife would kill me spending time on that, and the neighbors would probably have me committed if they saw me riding back there.... :lol:

Even I thought about riding around my property. Just do it. Who cares what people think. ;-) We live on a dirt road. I might ride up and down the steep, twisty part to warm up for tomorrow.

pretty much the same stuff, but I also have a 24" high jump. I also made that using concrete pavers for the base so i can make it higher or lower very easy.
