honestly i think you should cut off atleast two feet, if anything your going to go really high.... then straight down onto the "kicker", this would be the perfect quarter if it was wider... just not a kicker

I love the way you say "just 9 hours from where I live" JUST 9 hours! Holy crap thats a big drive.

And you are not going to clear 8 feet. To do that you will have to go so fast you'll break the kicker! I really hope you prove me wrong though - and get a video.

with religion you may have hope, but science will actually make it happen, or perhaps not in this case lol

wat the f*ck, mate if you are planning on actually going anywhere then you need to have a serious roll-in before it (maybe bob burnquist will lend you his mega ramp for a while)

One quick way out of killing yourself, cut off the flat top and use it the other way round, that way you should have more luck clearing 8ft, or just make it wider and have a quater pipeSmile

yo dude

I have build many dirt jumps. I have ridden many more dirt jumps. I have my fair share of DJ building knowledge so honestly listen to my advice.

That is WAY too sudden for how tall it is and it's going to feel absolutely terrible! My advice would be to cut it in between the top brown tree knot and the one below it...

I was actually already planning on cutting it around there or maybe even a little lower.
