How to build large free ride jumps with minimal dirt? Our trail has just been flattened again third time in three years. Starting to clear out for rebuild. What's the easiest and fastest way to build takeoffs? I'm thinking about the best way to stack logs. No more 6ft wide take offs it's just going to be narrower booters. also is the easiest way to build a drop to dig into the hillside? rather than build a flat lip? I know this topic has been covered but i want some good straight answers. Cheers

sounds like you need a new location. from exprience dont use logs cos they make it so much easier to destroy jumps

I just want something built quickly. It'll probably be a while before it's knocked down again because they have to get a digger in. They rip up anything. Whether it's built with logs showing hidden logs rocks or even just soil. They even ripped up rock gardens and berms

Have a look at Cam McCauls Freeridey section in NWD 9 - I think - the jumps there are sick and are probably pretty quick to build if you have wood!

Use empty nylon sacs and fill them with dirt, them put a bit of dirt. For the lip!!!
