buildit Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 If you're around London the biggest problem is getting enough dirt to build a good jump. Being as flat as it is around here getting soil is hard because no one wants to make a hole in there yard. Unless you make a pond like I did. But my jumps are unimpressive as in my avitar.

But my jumps are unimpressive as in my avitar.well the land isn't flat, very up and down. the problem is it all runs to the small creek that splits my parents property.it runs along 56 to old columbus and idk after that. we can probably come up with some dirt with grading it around the track and seeing what looks good. right now we need rain, it just ain't as fun when you can't slip-n-slide and haul ass everywhere.

robes3187 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 ...and lots of tables!!!!!!i plan on one or two good jumps before winter. a good tabletop is already in the plans just need good enough dirt. just keeping it simple without spending any money. i'll be doing most of the building with me and a few buddies. can't wait too jump:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7fx Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have built a few with a skid steer. Makes it easy to build the jumps. It will be a little trial and error. Just make sure that when making the track you allow drainage so it wont become a swamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrish might seel on old honda car POS to ya for cheap. pill dirt on top of that and you have a jump got a skidsteer??? makes things way easier....let me know if ya need help....i can shape pretty good. I shaped a few at angrishes house that had a good launch to them, but just like you we are always in need of allot of fill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
