Anyone have some cool trails they built they wanna share? I just got access to a piece of land and me and a few buds are gonna start digging soon. Looking for some creative features different from the classic dirt jump. Looking to get some ideas, post a pic or two please.
Here's an old shot, currently on vacation so I don't have much more but since this we threw a sick rainbow rail on the top

Gotta use the land's existing shape to determine what goes where, same with trees etc. Can't just plan to do whatever.
I've found a great way to go about it is to start with a single jump, then see what kind of speed you bring in/how the jump throws/how you land, and then go off that. If you always land a little to the side or at an angle different from the lip, maybe build it off in that direction and add a hip or something.

Rainbow rail, its like a hand rail that you would grind but in the shape of a rainbow, thinking of throwing in a box on the other side for predator grinds
