I havent got much experiance in this but firstly would you need like a roll in or whatever its called, then you could just have a rythem (sp?) section (i think thats what it's called). you could have a couple of drop offs. Include a few big berms. I think the main thing is make sure it flows and dont try and cram it into a tiny section of track, also, if you have a few mates who also like biking then make the track wide enough so you can race on there, have multiple routes so you dont get bored, and you could make a rock garden aswell. maybe have a bit where it will get waterlogged so its like all muddy, put in a sandy section aswell maybe? you could have like a seperate track with different surfaces and techy bits ?

Just a few ideas, hope it helps

And no, I'm not retarded, your the one with poor english.

keep putting in doubles, triples etc untill you get to the edge of the land you can build in, and then use berms to keep your speed in the turns. maybe even try multiple line choices so there's always some other line to try.

post pics as you go cos it sounds good

I don't know how easy it would be to build but a small wall ride like the one in this video would be cool to ride:

yer I thought it was something like that but my suggestions like the rock garden/terrain etc was just me thinking aloud. A plain, well groomed pump track seems a bit boring to me so I just suggested some other ideas.
