How to Lay Down ATV Track

Making your own trail for ATV riding can take quite a lot of time, depending on how much work needs to be done to the existing land. For example, it is easier to work with a flat dirt field than a dense forest. Even on a small plot of land, a crisscross design can provide a long and enjoyable track. Since ATV tracks are dirt, making them is fairly inexpensive.

Instructions

    • 1

      Survey and measure the landscape. Get a good idea of how much land you are working with and its condition.

    • 2

      Design the track. If the land is not all usable -- for example, if there are a lot of trees -- then the track will need to navigate through the usable parts of the land. If there is not much land to build on, a crisscross track will be needed. This type of track maximizes the amount of usable land. Add tabletops, berms, jumps and whoops to the design. For safety, the track should be around 15 feet wide.

    • 3

      Use a rototiller to soften the dirt on the track. This will make it easier to work with and more enjoyable to ride through.

      Use a bulldozer to build whoops, jumps, tabletops and berms. Extra dirt will be needed to do this. Compact all the constructions with the bulldozer to make sure they are solid.
