Pre-building jumps in summer

[SirFryanator]

So the season's almost over for us, and me any my buddy just finished building a kicker around where we stay at the mountain. In order to get a head start on this for next season, would it be a good idea to build a pre-ramp/landing?

And how would I build one if I did?

 

[canudoa9]

wouldnt it just melt by next season?

 

[ragadytrees]

try do build it out of dirt but that is going to be alot of work jsut a warning or get like a bobcat

 

[iridefattwins]

ya what could go wrong

 

[Holte]

hahahahaha oh man...wow.

 

[SirFryanator]

How would I build it other than dirt? I don't have any room for a bobcat, and there's probably not enough dirt.

^thats not a good idea. if the landing isnt flat, then you dont need to build up a landing. by building a landing, you run the risk of easily under or over shooting, and its different from a real park where theres no gap in between so much and the conditions are more ideal for all landings...so make a landing out of snow

 

[JibEarth]

i owuld just build the landing then i the winter you can alter the jump however u want as ur tricks change

 

[TheQuailman]

unless you have the right drainage, when it rains its gunna get all muddy and flaten out

 

[SirFryanator]

OK...the landing I can build during the winter. It's the jump that's the problem.

 

[alev]

a wooden ramp works too

 

[SirFryanator]

how?

 

[BIGairVZ]

I personally have done it and what I did was just stack some rocks and logs randomly which naturally creates a little booter. It doesn't have to be anything big at all just a starter/base for what's to come. Make a variety in the same spot just for kicks while you're theere.

 

[garrett.]

u build it, and take it and like root into the ground and wait for snow

 

[thedutchmayn]

excellent idea. we use those to build paintball bunkers, stacking them. you can maneuver them whenever you want.

 

[andrewg]

hahaha lmao

 

[BIGairVZ]

that could be potentially Huge

 

[C_Ewart]

Exactly!

 

[max3907]

use plywood and ducttape it always works for me

 

[Holte]

where are you planning on building this Offtheaxis? I had a friend who pre-built a jump by wrapping hay bales in chicken fencing. It worked pretty well when it was covered in enough snow and the hay froze solid with ice.

 

[SirFryanator]

by the place I stay @ crystal mountain

 

[cobra_commander]

rich kid

 

[EClay46]

too build a wooden jump u can either, get a flat piece of wood,make a frame of 2 by fours to the wanted hieght, nail together, make sure u build a support in the middle of the wood. or

bring a piece of wood, and put bricks under it

 

[SirFryanator]

we don't have a house

most of the people that stay where we stay aren't rich at all.

but whatever haha

 

[Dan-Man]

cut down trees and stack um in the shape u need and don't let smokey the bear bust ur ass or yul get a hefty ticket and and bad case of a bear attack ha ha!

 

[DannyMac]

use logs and dirt

 

[chapz]

good idea, it would prolly be easier than using dirt, and less expensive

 

[MADmidwest]

i built a jump and landing out of hay. it worked good

 

[Poormansvault]

Build up to the roof of a house; you can drop in off of the edge of the roof, go down a ramp made of hay, and then hit your shit. If you want, you can even check with the owner of the house to see if its okay.

 

[Palardy]

I tried prebuilding a jump at a hill in a park this fall, and we dug a hole to make it cut into the ground and come back out then where going to use the dirt from the hole for the landing, but a few days after we started the city buldozed it and destoryed it all

 

[kozy]

wood ramps work good

 

[Galin]

ya, wood ramps or like someone before me said kind of build it like a BC booter, get like concrete and some bricks or something and make use that to make it like a BC booter. That way, when it snows u just fill it in.
