Re: Building dirt jumps

here a couple of my hand made dirt hills







that is how it should be done

and here's a tip:
make the lower half of the hill like the lowerhalf of a quarter pipe and let the hill go on with the same line as it enden at the half of it.

this wil make you jump further and it wil also make sure that you cant fall back during your air time.

here a picture of what the side of a good dirt should look like i'v put in the red and black lines to show you what i mend by my "tip" written above



good luck with building a dirt i hope that his helps you

Re: Building dirt jumps

Well if you look at my first post you'll see I was looking for someone in Glasgow to help me, not someone from Holland to tell me how to build them! Doesn't matter anyway, fucking arsehole neds trashed them with their motorbikes.
And his diagram's not that good anyway. You need more vert on it, and a lot more dirt at the back to support the jump.

Re: Building dirt jumps

I know I wouldn't want to help someone with that attitude.

Oh and that diagram IS a quaterpipe with the bottom half marked in black to show what he meant from the description. I've never seen any hills in my life that have space at the back and below
