thats how a lot of trails are, just because it makes you not have to build up so high, and you get a lot of dirt out of it by there being a pit in between the jumps. its a lot of extra work to dig and haul all the dirt from another hole.

i found some sick trials, there's like a 20 foot start and 20 foot wide concrete start with like a thing to stop cars and like wheel things idk why.. most of the good ones out over grown, i saw some overgrown lips what would have been sick .



i done one it was like a bank down going up to a vertical table, i just rode at it and i got like 2-3 foot i was not expecting that. pritty scary shit as i was going far aswell and theres a bank with nettles then a river 5m away lol.

Location is key. If you build in the woods behind a school you will most likely have unwanted visitors with a potential for ruin. The more remote and secretive the better. Also if you can safe guard your trails by chaining off sections with lock and key so that no one can ride without being one of the main builders you can prevent novices from falling, getting hurt and giving township/property owners grounds for plowing them over someones stupid mistake.

dig a hole off to the side of your pit that runs down hill, dig a little trench out a few feet though that way water doesnt jut back up into it really quickly too.

what? did you say you cant make a landing, because the dirt is too hard? keep digging, oh, just pack down the jump more, and it wont crumble
