How to Make an ATV Track

ATV tracks provide hours of entertainment for professionals that need some practice or for amateurs out to have some fun. ATV tracks can be made indoors or outdoors, depending on available space and materials. Tracks contain huge mounds of dirt and other obstacles for the ATV operator to jump and perform tricks. You don't have to be a motocross star to have an ATV track. Anyone can make one with dirt and the proper equipment.

Instructions

    • 1

      Devise a plan for the ATV track based on the available space. Using a pencil and paper, design the track by creating jumps, obstacles and turns.

    • 2

      Clear the area for the outdoor track. Remove any trees, bushes or rocks that may be in the way.

    • 3

      Mark the area where you will create the track. Identify the turns and the jumps with stakes and brightly colored ribbon or markers. Ride your ATV around the track to check if changes are needed. You will need the straight portions of the track to be long enough to gain speed to clear the jumps. After jumps, create enough room for the correct landing of your ATV to avoid injury or damage to your ATV. Change your plan according to any problems you find.

      Bring dirt to the location of the ATV track. An outdoor track will be easier, since you can use the dirt found on the property. Ask friends and family if they know anyone remodeling their property. They may be disposing of unwanted dirt. Purchase the remaining dirt needed from a landscaping and masonry company that sells materials in bulk.

      Move the dirt around with a tractor equipped with a front bucket and a blade on the back. Mold the jumps, berms and other obstacles you are incorporating in the track. You can contract the work out or do it yourself, depending on funds available.
