Hi jus thought id try making a blog. Me and 2 friends are building a new line going so i think having a blog might remind me to get pics of the jumps. Im not going to tell you where these are, they arent private so the less people who know about it the better. so here goes ill trry and keep it updated as i do more work on it. Enentually there should be 4-5 jumps in the line (atm 4) with a few rollers and bombholes between.
The last jump will be designed to have an insane ammount of speed (couple of big pump lumps) and will be a huge trick jump!
Check the To Do's list to see what coming on the next update(s)
TO DO's* Finish the bombhole between the second and third
* Finish the 3rd and 4th landers
* Finish step up roller
* Build step up landing
My work up until nowThis was the first in the line, now its the second
Different angle
Since then theres been a lot of work.
Update: 07/11/09Just me digging
There is now 3 in the line, the bombhole between the first and second needs smoothing out and making deeper, its pretty sick atm. I did an hours digging today and turned the 1st (which used to be a shitty tabletop) into a pretty big double and did a lot of work on the pit. It was too dark to hit them when i finished.

Got a lot done today, the bombhole between 1st and second just needs raking out to make it smooth, put a different run up on so you can get enough speed, the 1st and second are much better and ive been trying to use trailboss dans jump buildin method but it not working too well i cant get the back of the jumps to be vertical

Got some more done today, made the 2nd landing much wider, did lots of work on the third takeoff, a bit on the third landing but it needs widening, done a lot on the bombhole between 1st and 2nd, started the roller double, got the logs in place and put a tiny bit of soil but didn't have much time
. Also i got some pics of what is planned
oops made the pics too small

Update: 22/11/09Me and Speshguy digging
Didn't get pics sorry, but the bombhole between the first and second is pretty much done now, its awesome and you get so much speed, im now confident that you will be able to make is over the second and if we can get the same sort of thing done between each of the jumps then it will be sick
. We have started a pump lump on the run up and the roller double is 3/4 done. The pumplump is going to be banked and quite big. Also we got the run up fully raked out so its awesome.
Ill try and get pics tomorrow i make no guarrentees though if not then next weekend for sure.
Update: 23/11/09Just me digging
