Been doing work and it's paying off. Haven't sacked up and committed to dropping off the UpBox we built yesterday. Dude in the picture is 6'2". Just put this edit together after a sweet session today. I ended up finding a clip from 2 years ago. It's come a long ways. Built the UpBox yesterday. It's at a 30 degree angle with 4'x8' plywood.
hardboard makes it run in better. otherwise you battle grooves for months
also yeah wet it, and then just pi it from the bottom, it bends fine, its lie 1 mill thick
Really depends on what type of ground you have. I've never ridden hardboard but dosnt sound great, nothing beats riding on pure dirt
It depends on the dirt, but your missing the point, you use it to run in the dirt, and make it hard. Hardboard is better than squishy dirt. Hardboard makes your jumps run in best

Build something outa mud let it dry and pack it again and you should have something rock hard. Way less to deal with then hardboard/carpet
Depends on the dirt 100% also the best jumps are the ones that were ridden in when sticky as you get all the fluidity pushed though. Hardboard just means you cause less damage. Notice how jumps ride best at the end of the season when they look haggard as opposed to the start when they look pristine? thats why.
I think the lip is almost too long, and the step up and landing too small. you are absolutely pinning it there, if it were me i would make the lip smaller, ad a touch shorter, and steeper, and that in turn makes there more of a step up, i would then dig down the landing. It all just seems lost potential in my opinion.

Yeah, there's a bump in the lip in the middle that we need to take care of, and then it will run a lot better. were going to dig the landing in a little more to make it longer, and then maybe put a stepdown into it for more speed.
I broke my foot, so unfortunately I now have lots of time to build and progress on my backyard stuff. I'm going to have more pallets arriving this coming week, and I'll make the roll-in bigger. From 10 feet to 13 feet. Hopefully this will create a lot of speed, because I think I will not be buying a dj/bmx bike, so the jumps will now have to be downhill bike oriented.
Does anybody have backyard jumps made for downhill bikes?
