Designing Tracks
I have a suggestion: why don't you design tracks? You should design them on paper, computers, etc. These designs will help you become more creative and if you want, you can make them real. I design a lot of tracks and I have also designed a whole bike park. Below is a design of a pump track. It is not designed by me.

Backyard Pump Tracks
If you are a slopestyle rider, you probably like to ride pump tracks. The problem with this, however, is that you may not be able to ride every day. The solution? Create a pump track in your backyard. This will allow you to ride your bike very frequently. Your pump track should be big enough for a run in, a couple of wooden structures and jumps.
To create a pump track, you will need machines, shovels and your hands with gloves on. First, plan out your track. Secondly, cover the entire area of your pump track with dirt. Next, create the jumps. They could have metal take off ramps if you want. I love to jump so if I was making a pump track, I would make lots of them. Make sure the jumps are properly secured. Now cut out pieces for your wooden structures and put them together. Dig a hole in the dirt where the wooden structures should go. Now burry part of the wooden structure inside the hole and secure it. Next, create the run in. It could be made of metal or dirt, depending on your choice. Secure it to the ground using a hole. Also, be sure to use other materials like bolts to secure it too. Make sure that your track has turns in it. This will make your track more compact. Lastly, make sure that your track can take weight. Also, I prefer treks that have at least 1 foot of elevation.
Maintaining of a pump track is very important. The lips of jumps get less steep every time they are jumped of and eventually they will not be steep enough to allow you to jump a gap. This could result in crashes. To maintain a pump track, first water it. Then, make required adjustments. Make sure that your pump track is not too dry when riding. Have fun with your pump track!!!
