This jump (and 55 of it's friends) were plowed this last fall. Friend put this little video together.

So shitty that happened man, it's lame putting that much work into something for it to get torn down. Nobody knows that feeling until they build a set. Thankfully won't have to worry about that unless our house sells

Got any tips? I suck at making them and trial and error isn't working. :/

My only tip is, don't be afraid to PUT IN WORK. don't use dirt that doesn't pack. This usually means diggin down a few feet to get to good dirt.

Make your dirt piles large so they can be packed in well.

Honestly, how much time have you put into building jumps?

Exactly ^ we dig 8-10 hours daily whenever I have off work with 1-2 people. I wouldn't even be able to grasp an idea of how many man hours we have in, no better feeling than watching these pile of dirt transform to art. Just keep building and stay determined. Shit, it's probably the best workout for you out there

Those are so dope. I just finished up the launch for my first set at the new site, and the landing is coming along well. Hopefully this one, unlike the last 3, little kids won't use the jumps as a playground.
