I feel dumb asking this since I have been on here since 2007, but how do you post a photo on the mobile version? I know how to upload to my profile, but that's it.

I will happily post the trails I have been building at home if I can figure it out. Thanks!

I don’t know if you can,
At the bottom of the page there’s a link that takes u the desktop version of the site, I use that to upload photos from my phone.
The same link takes u back to the mobile version too
If you're on an iphone, if you click the Aa symbol at the top right of the Safari browser you can request the desktop site which will let you post a photo.

Wow, I may have to go on a computer for this. I will figure it out and eventually post my backyard jumps.

No filler James!

Hey, any tips on good places to dig a small jump trail. This would be my first build and can't really go to some vacant field or community woods because I live in suburbia. There are a few spots underneath powerlines where neighbors can't see and snitch on me. I really want to build trails ,and I really respect those of you who do, but so many people in my neighborhood would just ruin it.

you should start in your backyard, or friends backyard. Learn the secrets of dirt there, and then start out legal. Work with your local trail asociation and help them out. Dont worry dude, youll find the secret lines, and make some of your own, but it takes experience. With time, youll learn how to make that perfect lip.

I uploaded a few build pics a couple weeks ago and also for buy/sell ads, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post uploaded pics in a forum. I have gone full retard I guess. Thanks for the help though. Eventually I will just do it from my comp I think. Building a small jump/pump line in the yard. Waiting on parts to be able to test it.

That was really difficult for me to post. Nothing huge, just a pump track with gaps really. I used sod strategically so grass will grow on the sides and back. The line starts from my front door.

That looks awesome dude! Buttery looking man.

I'm a big fan of slabbing turfs of grass on the backs and sides of my jumps too, it's kinda my trade mark haha, armors them if people ride off the side etc, I also find the jumps hold more moisture in summer after a rain and helps stop them crumbling and also helps hide them if you are building where you shouldn't, or just want the trails to a bit harder to find.

Yeah man, that looks amazing! You’re way better than I ever will be at carving out the sides, that’s for sure!

Or actually you should come out to Ca! The plane ticket would be hella cheap, and I’m actually looking for someone to help me out with a new pump track, and flow trail! I could teach you everything you would need to know, and within a week, we could have things done! Smile
