Need Help With Jumps

[Newbie_Rider]

I'm only 13 but i can ride a bit too.....but i need some help building some jumps i dont know how to build the base so its strong enough

holy shit! someone willing to dig!

just slowly pile dirt up, and with every layer, pack it down, your jump will set hard as a rock, but it'll take a while to build. Go for it, budday!

Make sure you're piling up wet / damp dirt too, otherwise you'll just be making a pile of dust.

Check these links too, all good tutorials

yeh man, the key is to pack it down heaps. everytime u put more dirt on smack it down, shape it, and look after it until it's concreted

good luck m8 :)

thanks everyone for the support..... i mean i want jumps and all and if no-ones gonna build em well ill have to :)

and you should, cause you can call them your own, and build them how YOU want them.

I like the whole no dig no ride thing in most situations.

lol ive built a jump already just got bak actually..... :) I built about a 70cm high jump with 40cm gap and then a table top for about 75cm and then the landing
ill get some pics of it tomoz tell me if its good enough to ride over

if your going to build jumps that are quite high, i always build a solid foundation using tree branches, then you place dirt over the top, then water ect ect till its hard.
Will only work with bigger jumps and use plenty of dirt.......

i think its also a good idea to build a landing too because landing on flat canes :( a table top is a good idea so then u wont hav to worry if u come a bit short :)
