Yeah well my friend has a giant shop that we can build a foam pit in. But its a lot of work so we were just thinking we should maybe just build a trick jump outside.

wood chips sounds like a good idea, or i was thinking like just really soft non compacted dirt?

My friends built this resi (Dont know if you spell it like that) ramp in his back garden we had the kicker from the last ramp they made and behind my friends house theres some guy who has lots of carpet in a skip so we asked for some and its acctually quite effective!! Landings about 6ft by 10 ft

well youy could but you would sink right into it so it would be more like a foam pit. You would also have to change the hay alot because it gets gross when its wet and gets kinda moldy.

if you lived on a farm it couldnt be that much of a problem right?

it still get costly.
and you have to find some way to fork WET hay out. its heavy as hell. lol
on average $30 canadian for 1 round bale. with is super packed. so u would have to a) get the bale there, b) have somewhere top dispose of the waste etc
even as a farm kid. it seems a little impractical to me
