designs for a downhill track

[bolzy]

i have a large block of land on a hill. its not steep but u can get some speed. can anyone give some designs or what things i should build on the my land.

Without seeing your block it's going to be pretty much impossible for anyone to give you decent advice.
Just walk up and down the hill a few times and a good line will become apparent. Look for natural obstacles like rocks and fallen trees.
Try to make it 'flow', i.e minimise 90 degree corners and other stuff that will kill any speed you have.

if its not steep, then make it real fun ie heaps of doubles and burms, even incorporate some stunts.

But as camo said, keep it flowy, nothin worse than a track that doesnt flow. Every time the track turns, make it turn for a reason....

think picaso - the hill is your canvas, let the creative juices start flowing, and the sweat cos its farkin hard work.... :wink:

Big fast flowy berms, nice big jumps/tabletops and stunts that can be done at speed... If your space is limited, switchbacks are the go, but berm them, let them flow. If your space is really limited, slow speed stunts are the go, but let them Flow togeather...

Is your block the one that had some north shore on it not so long ago, & you can see the block when your on the off ramp from kaima going onto the express road?

I think I know the one, you can put a heap there!
