the one condition was that we had to provide for younger riders as well. we are in the process of making two more bigger lines of 4 doubles

they also bring all of the soil we need and shape it into rough mounds..we just need to rake and compact them... the one thing we are not allowed to do is dig any holes between the ramps as they are a hazard (people "might" fall into them)..
Also these jumps are the first we have ever made so any comments on how to make them better next time are more than welcomeSmile Big Grin 2 cents 2 cents

they look awesome, only tip for making them bigger is just keep piling dirt on and build them up

just dig out the middle of the jump/ behind the take off. or find a sweet spot get a wheel barrow and move it and mold it, i found it much easier! Big Grin Army Dead Horse
