So basically my buddys and i have decided to rebuild some old dirtjumps...There are over 50 dirtjumps and all of the dirtjumps are rock solid...My question is how do we get the backs of the dirtjumps thicker and have like a 6 inch case pad on the take off and landing...because right now it looks like a spine takeoff to spine landing...whats the trick to make a dirtjump alot thicker...because when i go to throw dirt on the backside of the takeoff/slash landing it just slides down to the bottom...whats the trick...water?

Wow... You need Water .. Dirt doesnt stick when its not wet.. Also you cant just toss it up on the lip.. You have to pack it on there..

Pack the dirt in layers, so the next layer can be built on the one underneath it. And keep digging, it takes more dirt than you think to get solid jumps!
