hey gys im gettin real tired of the jumps i have and was wondering how to make some more that will get me maximum air without using loads of dirt.... my neighbors bob cat is broken and will probabaly stay like that for a while....

any tips on how to make some good jumps?
 
i got a small john deere tractor with a loader and i tear up this abandoned property i don't own. i have some sharp corners and when the dirt builds up i use the loader and scoop the dirt into a jump. right now i'm trying to make my 3 small jumps into a large tabletop, i wish i counld find some dirt. i thinki'm gonna tear up the abandoned houses back yard for dirt, noone will know:D.
 
i live in a hilly area so all i do is find some small mounds about 5 feet high usally and put a little dirt on top for a lip and carve my landing out and done i have a 25 foot table top with a 6 foot kicker works nice shoots you up really high.. and another trick lots of rocks!!! i built an entire table top 20 foot long and 55 inches wide with rocks as my base didnt take me a week and im using shovels to!!! and that hill behind my quadracer is a big pond thats empty so i built a 30 foot gap jump onto the hill you see works slick hills are your best friend
 
i was gonna go out and make a hudde tabletop today but i'm stilll getting over the flu and it is cold as heck out here in indiana, plus it rained today but tomorrow i will build a cool jump and take some pics. can't wait, it suks that i don't have hills around my house so i could do some cool jumps.
 
ill try to get pics soon... but 5 whoops aint enough i have some that i dug down and just put forward and there are only 5 and its not even fun you just skip over them but ill try soon i tore the one 55 incher down soom to use the dirt for my 75 foot down hill jump that i need to cut some more trees out but next year should be sweet
 
A wheelbarrel and a shovel is all I have to work with :(

At my old house we had 15 acres so we had a sweet dirt bike track with natrual jumps... good times! My best advise is get creative, try it out and if it kills you take some dirt off and try again, you also want to think about your landing.
