maybe this is an impossible question
im not an experienced builder
i have a run in followed by a 4 feet high lip (and the curve is made from a 10'6'' wooden template) and about 10 feet to the landing that is just inches higher than the lip (and angles about 45 degrees downwards)
then i have a roller (maybe foot and a half high and two bike lenghts long)
there is about a bikes lenght before and after the roller
followed by a 5 feet high jump (same template) and about 12 feet to the landing that is maybe a foot and a half higher than the lip
trouble is that i cant quite make it across to the second landing
i have tried to make the roller lower and maybe this has helped
but im wondering if it actually makes me scrub speed instead on conserving it or maybe gaining a bit
(i also suspect that the roller maybe requires too much attention from me to set up proporly for the next jump)
maybe the roller should be even lower? or not rise up from the ground at all but only exist as a lowering of the ground level before the second jump?
what i could also do is build the first jump a bit bigger
if i wanted i could probably over jump it by 3 feet as it is, so more speed is a possibility
any ideas?
(i have never build any jumps with anyone with more experience than me, so im kinda reinventing the wheel)
thank you
