Is it worth armour plating my jumps with flat rocks cus the dirt is crap and even after packing it down hard it crumbles
we layer w rocks, pack w dirt, then final shape w dirt. The hard part is not riding it until it rains and sets up.

Here in Straya' everything is covered in grass (well where I live anyway)
So getting further down (when building trail not jumps) takes a while.
Is this just where I live or do you guys have it too?

so the dirt jump is cracked as hell but also kinda spongy in places, especially spongy on the landing. Any help on fixing?

get dirt, put on top of jump, pack down, shave and mold, it should then fill the cracks and fix the spongey ness
