Allow room for multiple lines branching off of the one main trail. Then you can customize it to your liking Wink

Best way to build berms?

Use logs and stuff so you dont need as much dirt. Just cover logs and wood with dirt. It will help your berms stay stong and you dont need to dig as much. Also, if you can get your hands on bricks to cover the berms, that is even better becasue bricks give traction and dont wear down.

using logs is ok for burms.. the best way to do it is just dig them down so the walls are almost vert and your railing on the mineral soil. if you can find some nice monster rocks they work wonders for armouring the backside of the burm, the shitty part about using logs is that they rot and that ends up making shitty bomb holes in your burms. plus railing vert burms is so much fun!

Depends what you want. In my opinion, the fewer 180 degree burms you have, the better. 180 degree burms have to be HUGE in order to really cary your speed through.

Yeah if your doing a 180 its gonna have to be a really good size burm or its going to be a super tight pocket burm they are totally doable and tonnes of fun but it will take you a few times to get it totally dialled.

if u do that it will open up different oppotunitys to create a new line if u have a gap jump for e.g to the left have a really rocky steep section and to the right have a BIGGER gap Razz
