I couldn't understand what you just said?

But yeah, those jumps look ok, just make sure you don't make them look like that, make them curved and have a bit of lip on the top...

 

[SunnyCoastRider]

fill the middle with dirt and ramp up one of the hiss a shitload and try land on the other hill dirt in the middle is so if ya dont make it its a t/t

 

[bradisfun]

yeah shure thing TyD, thanks
and wogtaz ryder those hills are about 90 meters apart... i'll invite you ova if you want to jump that
does any of one have ideas for a track tho?

[SunnyCoastRider]

[bradisfun]

im not shure about feet, but its a heap
yeah thanks for that one crf 50 2008 but thats nit really what we want dorry i should have been more specific, we are looking for more of a oval with less corners and well yeah, im not to shure about how to go with tracks any other ideas?

 

[wogtaz ryder]

just go ride it and see where would be good spots , then start building

Ive found there is no point thinking about it , unless you got a near perfect spot and all the machinery in the world with fresh dirt getting delivered..

Build where it will work , use existing hills/lumps for jumps etc

Once you start building/riding you will change it from your original plan anyway.

 

[bradisfun]

i've got 2 dingo's to work with and were geting fresh dirt for it, im not to worried about the jumps just the track

Brad if you want some help designing a track, and building some SAFE yet decent sized jumps, then give me a pm.. i've designed and built a few tracks over the years, and have plenty of experience with earthmoving equipment big or small...
if you have two big hills like that, the downhill sections always make good down ramps... so you put your take offs on the ''up-face'', and that gives you the options of going big, or massive, and you still have all the down ramp in the world in case you muff it...

 

[bradisfun]

ohk thanks will do but we've decided to go in a plat paddock now, when i was there on the weekend we started building some jumps and berms i'll send u a PM thanks

If you wanna extra pair of building hands im up for it one weekend.

If your ever short of dirt, ring up a pool company, they dig 40 ton of dirt every pool, thats heaps of dirt to work with.
