A couple years ago some people had a dream of having a xc-bike/freeride/road cycling facility in the Boise, Idaho area. The first phase of that dream is coming to completion. After months of work we now have 1 pump track, three jump lines(beg, int, adv), the longest 4x course in the country, and a dual slalom course that is almost done. Plus around 5 miles of xc-trails and the beginning of the parking lot and buildings for the velodrome.
Now a question. How would you move this size kiosk 1/4 mile up a hill. It looks too big for an ATV since it is around 800lbs and won't fit on any trailer or the bed of a pickup truck that would also fit up the old road. So my though was to put a chain around the top and drag it up the hill with my toyota pickup which fits on the old road. Any more thoughs????

Nice mountain bike park! I wish I would've known about that last fall while I was working at Tamarack! I might just be in Boise in June, so I hope I can hit it up then!
As fas as moving that kiosk, I didn't see a picture in your post or see one in the video, so I don't know what size you're referring to, but does your club have money to rent a fork lift to move it? Or maybe rent a flat bed truck from somewhere to move it? Yeah, I know you have to get it on the truck somehow.
Like mtb777 asked, could you tow it? Maybe build a sled out of logs or something?
Since it is welded, see if you can get a hold of a Kawaski Mule 3010 4x4, or something similar. The load capacity of the mule is 803 lbs for its bed and a 1200lbs towing capacity. Hopefully, the 57-58 width will work out for you. If that doesn't work, there are bigger models.
