i think its a bunch of little kids- everytime i come to the jumps- the one gap will have a big piece of plywood over the gap- placed RIGHT on the lip- plus they like to slide down my lips!its just so frustrated to spend whole days perfecting your jumps to hve some little snotnosers wreck them in like a minute- im sure im not the only one with this problem tho..

well needed guide. Might be easier if you just edit your first post and add all that extra stuff in just so people don't miss it.

You know, if I were you, I would ask him what he plans on doing with his field and if its nothing, ask him if it would be alright if you build there. Tell him you'll make the jumps safe and tell him an amount of people that would be riding them like 10 or 15 riders as an example. Tell him you will take full responsibility for the riders and their actions as well.

A good tip i found is to spray deodorant on your shaping shovel before packing or shaping stops the dirt from sticking to the shovelSmile
