Project got delayed but finally finished it up, everything came together sweetly. Used 1/2x 5 1/2 carriage bolts/washers to brace everything together so it is fully able to come undone into 4 sections and it rides great.

that landing looks really bad(short,steep) man... that left kicker would be good for landing if it was wider

I agree, no offense, but it may look different in real life

It drops hard and fast, not too happy with it . Def does the job but I think I'm gonna spin it into the end of the driveway and frame out a longer lander. It's actually fun to hit both ways, from the front or back.

Cmc that's the plan, pull the steep ass lander, turn it 180 and drag it all the way to end for a turn around. Just gotta build out a 4x8 lander and pray for no more rain

We've got one down here, but it was built by old guys so the take off is 6 inches behind the landing. Also, they never finished it because they all got scared. I'll probably go finish it myself this week, it just needs a landing to step off to

not sure if wooden jump big a wooden structure... downhill mainly

on a steep hill, plant two logs about 15cm diameter in the ground in the ground about 2 feet away from eachother along the hill. make sure they are at least a foot in the ground. pile up thick sticks behind it. can be as highj as you want. pile up the dirt behind the sticks. side support with more sticks is optional

About a 7 foot gap

From the top of the step on.

A little over 4 feet wide.

Here's the roller coaster thing that the old folks started but were too scared to finish. Decided to take it upon myself to finish it with a solid dirt landing. It was my first dirt build, but my buddy Travis (the on stroking the tree) has experience with it and gave a lot of good insight. I'm happy with it and will be hitting it in a couple days after the sun packs it all in.

Too bad it lasted a week before it all got torn down. I literally only hit it 3 times.
