Are you digging or getting the dirt dumped. If your digging it will take ages but If your getting the dirt dumped 2 people should be fine.
good luck

me and my mates have a massive nine set now that is about 2m high....we where digging and it took ages............like 4 months of non-stop work
Have a go, 1.5 metres is suprisingly high, then add the gravity in front of it and you are looking at an almost 2 metre jump. Start with one jump and buildmore and more. I built a waist high jump with gravity and downramp all on my own and it has taken 2 days. Two people should be fine,
Good luck, Sam:cool:

it took me about 3-4 weeks of about an hour a day, 4-5 days a week to build 2 jumps about 1m x 2m, wich doent sound very big, but its big enough to start with, you will need a matok/pick, a shovel and a spade, think of it this way... some people pay heaps of money to go to the gym and work out, digging dirt jumps is free, gives you the biggest six pack (i know) and is good for the environment... maybe? ( i'm sure it is somehow, when i work out how i think i'll go find some greeny's to get some dj's built)
have fun
