:O 40! mph or kph??

I don't have any local trails, i have to travel roughly an hour to get anywhere decent, so I thought i'd try out making my own.

This will be a relatively simple trail

Mph,top section is tight and twisty hence the need for berms,bottom section is flat out with a slight right hander.

Haha yeah. Don't like it when that happens - when you stop it looks like you've been crying and everyone thinks you shat your pants on the way down haha Razz

With the berm problem, just pack down the dirt. First do the back then the front(the part you ride). Try and make a nice transition between the ground and the top of the berm so it feels smooth.
